Chapter 1916: Northern Commander
The practice of numerology lacks feeling.

This Taoist technique is used to prolong one's lifespan. Just as one has no sense of one's own lifespan in normal state, one will not feel anything after practicing this technique.

The only characteristic is that a ray of divine light of longevity will float by when the cultivation is completed, and there are no other abnormalities besides this.

The longevity divine light faded, and Zhang Xuezhou opened his eyes with a puzzled look on his face.

"Is this longevity secret reliable? Why does it seem to be of no use to me after practicing it?"

This was the first time that Zhang Xuezhou practiced such a useless technique. Even though he practiced the Bigu Technique, Zhang Xuezhou could feel that he was able to resist hunger, but the Changsheng Technique did not bring him any feeling.

"Do you think I'm useful?" Cai Ma asked.

"I think so," Zhang Xuezhou said uncertainly.

Zhang Xuezhou is a loser. He has been running more than fighting over the years. Even though he possesses the magic of the Huangsha Sect, he has rarely had a head-on confrontation.

As for Cai Ma, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was even more useless.

You can say that Cai Ma is very powerful. Cai Ma can cause 99% of cultivators below the supernatural power realm to die, and there is a chance that he can shorten the lifespan of cultivators in the supernatural power realm, self-centered realm, and even true self realm. He poses a huge threat to elderly cultivators.

But Cai Ma was so fragile that he could be killed by a sneak attack from ordinary people.

Without deterrence or suppression, and without any other methods, even Cai Maruo was speechless as Zhang Xuezhou.

He replied to Cai Ma uncertainly, which made Cai Ma very sad.

Cai Ma pointed at herself with a dejected look on her face, then pointed at Zhang Xuezhou, indicating that it was normal for Zhang Xuezhou to feel useless at the moment, after all, she was useless too.

"For example, if I now refine a pill that can prolong life, can I feel the effects of the pill after taking it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"You can't even confirm that your life span has increased by ten years. You have to work harder if you want to feel the life-extending effect of the drug," said Cai Ma.

"How hard do we have to work?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I don't know how hard I have to work." Cai Ma shook his head and said, "I could sense my lifespan had increased when I first started practicing. If you can't sense it, you can only continue practicing!"

"Comparing people with each other makes people angry!"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered to himself.

His expression of envy towards Cai Ma left Cai Ma speechless.

Cai Madao was heartbroken again and again, but in the end, he was even envied by Zhang Xuezhou.

"You are cultivating very quickly," Cai Ma said, "You will have no problem achieving immortality on earth in the future!"

"I just want to feel the life-extending effect of the elixir!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Cai Ma are completely on different wavelengths.

For Cai Ma, the purpose of practicing the secret of longevity is to prolong his life, while for Zhang Xuezhou, the purpose is to perceive the subtle effects of the elixir on prolonging his life.

Cai Ma envied Zhang Xuezhou's rapid practice of the Longevity Secret, while Zhang Xuezhou envied Cai Ma's powerful perception.

Cai Ma mentioned to Zhang Xuezhou that it only took about ten days of practice to get started with the perception function. Zhang Xuezhou was obviously far from reaching that standard, which made him a little depressed. He felt that his aptitude for practice was indeed very poor.

He took advantage of Li Shaojun's favorable situation to ask the court for medicines for practicing the secret of longevity, and drank several bowls of medicines that were so bitter that his mouth was numb, but in the end he failed to accomplish his goal.

"Hey, behave better today!"

Zhang Xuezhou gets annoyed whenever he thinks about his qualifications.

He kicked the sleepy 'Dongfeng' Li Shaojun awake, and then thought about the medicine for the second stage of the Changsheng Jue. The first stage of the Changsheng Jue only needed to open a thousand acupoints, and the second stage also needed to open a thousand acupoints, so that the number of acupoints increased to two thousand, and the third stage needed to open two thousand new acupoints again, so that the acupoints could be pushed to a total of four thousand, and then four thousand new acupoints were added to reach a total of eight thousand, and then sixteen thousand, and thirty-two thousand.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't have a headache about practicing the complicated techniques of multiple acupoints, but he had a headache about the medicinal materials for the secret of longevity.

The medicines for the second phase are similar to those for the first phase, but the number of years in which the medicines are needed almost doubles.

"What are you doing, bullying the patient?"

The powerful medicine sent by Anle Palace was poured into Zhang Xuezhou's mouth. Li Shaojun was seriously injured and recovered by Zhang Xuezhou's Taiqing Zhenshu. He felt his body was a little weak, and his head was still a little groggy when he was kicked awake by Zhang Xuezhou.

Li Shaojun grumbled and for a moment he felt that he was really sick.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still die and be resurrected after being crippled, Li Shaojun felt that he would not be able to cooperate with Zhang Xuezhou.

He shook his head vigorously and looked at Zhang Xuezhou who had a depressed look on his face.

"What's wrong? Didn't you succeed after all the trouble you've been doing all night?" Li Shaojun said with a sly smile, "This technique is too complicated. It's normal that you can't succeed. Look at me. I didn't learn anything, but I'm still very happy. I'm still living a happy life!"

"It is very likely that we will need to go to Anle Palace today. Give me another portion when you ask for the elixir, but the ginseng must be at least 500 years old, and the others, the older the better," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Haste makes waste. Don't think you can succeed by strengthening the efficacy of the medicine. Listen to my advice and adjust your mood. Wait until everything is in place before trying again, so as to avoid wasting batches of medicinal materials!"

Li Shaojun looked quite happy, probably because he thought Zhang Xuezhou had failed in his practice.

Zhang Xuezhou was too lazy to mention that the longevity perception he needed did not appear, which required him to further promote the longevity formula. As for Cai Ma, she was repeatedly stimulated by Zhang Xuezhou and fell from the high state of a senior sister. She no longer spoke nonsense.

Neither of them said anything, and Li Shaojun tacitly acknowledged that Zhang Xuezhou had failed in his practice of life-enhancing techniques.

The three people had different expressions on their faces.

One was because the patient was weak, one was worried about the supplementary medicine needed for the secret of longevity, and the other was stimulated by the speed at which Zhang Xuezhou practiced the secret of longevity.

Finally, everyone went out to wash up listlessly, and shouted a few words to say hello to people from other rooms and Rong Tianding and others who lived in the new house.

It was not until there was a knock on the door that everyone was shocked. Li Shaojun leaned over, found a bench and sat down with his back against the wall.

"Who?"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, he quickly walked into the courtyard and opened the door.

"Brother An Guo?"

Outside Zhang's house, it was not the old eunuch Cui from Anle Palace who came to deliver the emperor's order as everyone expected, but Han Anguo, who looked excited and thoughtful.

Only after Zhang Xuezhou called out did Han Anguo bow slightly and express his gratitude.

"Your Majesty has favored me and appointed me as the Northern Commander," Han Anguo said, "Now I have finally made a name for myself in the court of Chang'an City. This position has certain real power and is much better than I thought."

"Congratulations, Master Han. Congratulations, Master Han, on your promotion!"

Zhang Xuezhou bowed his hands in congratulations, which made Han Anguo wave his hands, and the two servants behind him immediately carried a mahogany box down from the carriage.

"How can this be so embarrassing? Please come in quickly!"

Zhang Xuezhou rubbed his hands and quickly opened the door completely to make it easier for the two servants to carry the box in.

Zhang Xuezhou is a very particular person and when he says he recommends someone, he really means it.

Han Anguo was also a man of particularities, and when he knew that he lived here, he gave him a gift in return.

This made Zhang Xuezhou smile happily, and he quickly put aside the unhappiness of not being able to sense his lifespan after practicing the art of longevity.
