Chapter 1883: Immortality Decision

Cai Ma's life span was close to 300 years. This was not the kind of longevity that meant he was hanging on by a thread, but his body aged three times slower than that of ordinary people.

Even if Cai Ma is already sixty years old, the other person's body will be the same as that of an ordinary person in his twenties.

If Cai Ma's fate continues to improve, this aging process will slow down.

Practicing life arts can reduce the effects of aging on the body. This art can bring countless benefits when practiced at the right age.

If Zhang Xuezhou waits until he is fifty or sixty years old to practice the art of life, even if his life span is extended, it will be difficult for his body to return to its youthful normal state. Only certain rare treasures can possibly alleviate the effects of aging.

Compared to seeking opportunities after getting older, practicing the art of fate when you are young is undoubtedly a good choice.

Cai Ma's strength at this moment is far inferior to that of some geniuses who are good at practicing, but Cai Ma will definitely have a place in a hundred years, a hundred and fifty years, or two hundred years.

Compared to other people who only practice for a few decades, Cai Ma can practice for a much longer time.

After getting a general idea of ​​the situation, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel envious of Cai Ma.

He rarely envied other people, but Cai Ma did make Zhang Xuezhou envious.

If he had as much time as Cai Ma, he wouldn't need to go back and forth between the two. He could practice and improve himself easily and at will.

Of course, this ease and casualness must be based on defeating the extraterritorial demons.

Thinking of the extraterritorial demon living in his body, Zhang Xuezhou finally felt that it was okay for him to work a little harder.

If a man like him doesn't move forward quickly, he will have no chance of leisure in the future.

"I want to clearly sense my own life span. How long will this practice take?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"You have such a good talent. It will probably take you about ten days or half a month to practice," said Cai Ma.

"Teach me, teach me!"

There are many strict rules in the Kunlun Holy Land, including strict regulations for teaching, imparting knowledge and answering questions. It is an extremely serious matter to study secretly without meeting the requirements.

But these rules rarely apply to the level of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.

Cai Ma felt that the art of fortune-telling was a necessary skill for new members of the Kunlun Holy Land to cultivate, and it would not break the rules for Zhang Xuezhou to learn it. Even if Zhang Xuezhou returned to the Holy Land to learn the art of fortune-telling, he would most likely learn from her.

After careful consideration, Cai Ma felt that it was a relatively normal thing to teach Zhang Xuezhou to practice the art of fate in Chang'an City.

"Why do I feel like you're teaching me a thousand and eighty thousand techniques?"

After the explanation, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Cai Ma's life skills were similar to the 108,000 orifice skills.

Cai Ma's fortune-telling technique is divided into two parts, one part involves 36,000 orifices, and the other part involves 72,000 orifices.

Not every acupoint in these two parts exists independently, but there is overlap, forming two cycles, one large and one small, that interact with each other. This special interaction also makes life different.

"The 36,000 orifices in the "Changsheng Jue" can cultivate the lifespan of a land immortal, and the 72,000 orifices can cultivate the lifespan of a celestial god." Cai Ma said: "I am now a land immortal with a lifespan of 300 years. As long as I use the magical power of life skills to step into the 72,000 orifices to practice, my lifespan will double. When the 72,000 orifices are fully practiced, it will not be difficult for me to live a thousand years!"

“So long!”

Zhang Xuezhou was amazed for a moment, and felt that the mystery of fortune-telling was truly fascinating.

A life span that is ten or even dozens of times longer than that of an ordinary person will bring countless times of tolerance, and one can also enjoy the fruits of cultivation after countless years. The cultivation problems that could not be solved in a certain era may be easily solved by future generations after dozens or hundreds of years. Those with long life spans can easily enjoy such fruits, while those with short life spans will be buried in the ground for who knows how many years.

"You are not a professional practitioner of life skills, so it is impossible for you to live for a thousand years. You can only seek the 300-year lifespan of the immortals on earth as much as possible," said Cai Ma.

"Three hundred years is already very good," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"I will teach you the first part of the "Eternal Life Secret". I won't recite the second part. You can't learn it anyway, and it will save me from getting my mouth numb from talking," said Cai Ma.

"can!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

For Zhang Xuezhou, who is proficient in many 18000-acupoint techniques, learning a 36000-acupoint technique is not a difficult task.

As long as the right medicine is taken, he can easily live for 300 years. How could Zhang Xuezhou not be satisfied with such a good thing?

As for the 72,000 techniques, they were not included in Zhang Xuezhou's plan.

His original purpose was just to get a clear idea of ​​his own life span, and then find out the effects of taking the life-extending medicine. This kind of life extension was not part of Zhang Xuezhou's plan.

Giving Zhang Xuezhou three hundred or five hundred years of life span has no practical significance. As long as he fails to pass the test of the extraterritorial demon, it will not matter how much life he has.

For Zhang Xuezhou, it would be enough for him to learn some simple and sufficient skills for the time being.

Zhang Xuezhou also has to thank Cai Ma for providing him with the "Secret of Immortality" which is similar to the avoidance technique, which made his practice not complicated and there was almost no difficulty except for the need for medicine.

"Is five hundred year old mountain ginseng the most basic auxiliary medicine?"

After Zhang Xuezhou figured out the medicine for practicing life-enhancing techniques, he couldn't help but frown.

"You can just pick two old mountain ginseng plants in the holy land, but this hundred taels of licorice is troublesome. This herb is very light after being dried. It took me a long time to collect the hundred taels!"

"Well, you're right!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied to Cai Ma nonchalantly. He had already figured out why Cai Ma was so attached to Chang'an City and didn't want to return to the Holy Land of Kunlun.

The medicines that can be easily found in the Holy Land of Kunlun were a rarity in the Han Dynasty, and the large doses of medicinal materials commonly used in the Han Dynasty were rare in the Holy Land of Kunlun, so it was difficult to gather enough.

Zhang Xuezhou and Cai Ma faced different conditions. He was not worried about the hundred taels of licorice, but was worried about the need for a five-hundred-year-old ginseng, a key medicine.

These also include astragalus, polygonum multiflorum, panax notoginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler and other substances from previous years which are not conventional medicines.

The older the medicinal materials are, the better the ingredients of the refined medicine will be, and the faster you will be able to practice the "Secret of Immortality".

As for wanting to rely on hard work to practice the "Secret of Longevity", it is basically impossible. The time spent meditating and practicing the "Secret of Longevity" every day is much longer than the increased lifespan, so it is extremely difficult to break through the threshold.

This is also the reason why "The Secret of Immortality" is similar to the art of avoidance but also different. Zhang Xuezhou does not need to take medicine when practicing the art of avoidance. This situation of needing medicine to practice is somewhat similar to "The Secret of the Clouds".

"It seems that we can only wait for Li Shaojun to come to Chang'an City to plan some powerful medicines!"

Zhang Xuezhou originally wanted to borrow Li Shaojun's help to tinker with the Shengsheng Zaohua Pill, but to this day they haven't gotten the prescription, and Zheng Wukong and others are nowhere to be seen, so it's difficult to refine a similar pill.

He had only hoped that the process of refining the elixir would go smoothly and that the matter of recruiting Li Shaojun would be accomplished.

Now, Zhang Xuezhou has clearly understood what he needs.
