Longevity begins with the sword of ignorance

Chapter 5 The Magical Use of the Tongue of Food
The next practice, the effect is not very good, he has something in his mind, which makes his practice a little half-hearted.

Fortunately, there is no risk of becoming obsessed with the exercises he practiced. Even though he was a little distracted, he still completed his own cultivation.

The next day, early in the morning, after waking up, Zhong Cang immediately wanted to practice Qi Jue.

"Gudong..."

As before, by opening his mouth to swallow the air, Zhong Cang began to practice the Qi Qi Jue.

However, what was different from the past was that this time, when the cultivation had just started, Zhong Cang even said "Bah, Bah, Bah" several times.

"What a weird taste, what is this... wait, I can 'eat' the taste."

What Zhong Cang practiced was Qi Qi Jue, but what he ate in the past was air, and air naturally has no smell.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the air smelled.

This scene made Zhong Cang startled, but soon he thought of something.

"This should be the ability to be proficient in the 3 realms of Qijue."

Then, thinking about this, Zhong Cang was confused.

"But what's the use of having a taste, so that it tastes better when I eat it? No, it will be even more unpalatable after it has a taste... It can't be a waste characteristic."

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang was startled, but the unwillingness in his heart made him not give up.

For the next three hours, Zhong Cang used various means to test the ability of the 'Tongue of Food'.

And after some testing, Zhong Cang's face regained its brilliance.

"This is not trash, it's a divine skill!"

Those who eat Qi are gods and live long.

Breathing Qi will definitely allow Zhong Cang to acquire the characteristics of bigu by swallowing air, which is actually very scientific.

After all, this world is not the previous life, there is a special thing called aura.

The aura is invisible and qualityless, but it is diverse.

The sky has clear air, the earth has turbid air, in addition to that, there is also the air of water, the air of mountains, the sharp blood of weapons and armor...

There are hundreds of kinds of qi, but not all qi can be absorbed by people.

And the tongue of food allowed Zhong Cang to distinguish the qi that could be absorbed by the human body.

"Light and refreshing, this should be fresh air, the most comfortable air I have absorbed..."

"A smell of mud and sand. This should be the air of the earth. I can absorb this air, but the efficiency is not high."

"Spicy gratitude, this should be the air of fire, the absorption efficiency is similar to the air of earth..."

Relying on the tongue of food, Zhong Cang distinguished several kinds of gas, and while tasting, he also came out of his humble room.

The reason for coming out was that after Zhong Cang tasted a lot of spiritual energy, he found that the air in his room was a bit cloudy, and it was not the best place for cultivation.

"I need to find a place with more fresh air."

After having such an idea, Zhong Cang walked around the outer courtyard with his mouth open all morning.

At the same time, it would make two 'peh peh' sounds from time to time.

In the process of walking around, Zhong Cang slowly discovered that in the bamboo forest not far from the outer courtyard, there is the most fresh air, which is most easily absorbed by himself.

At the same time, Zhong Cang also discovered another usage of the Tongue of Food - separation.

Previously, when Zhong Cang ate qi, he always inhaled the qi into his mouth and suffocated it in one breath.

Now, although he has the Tongue of Food, he has found a better place to practice.

But this place is not a paradise after all, the fresh air in the bamboo forest is only more than that in Zhong Cang's room, and it still contains a lot of impurities.

The new ability that Zhong Cang explored was to inhale the qi into his mouth, and then stir it with his tongue to separate the qi inhaled into his mouth.

Afterwards, I only inhaled clean air and exhaled the stale air that was not easy to absorb.

Although, because Zhong Cang's tongue was not very flexible, he could not completely separate the clean air from the turbid air, but this operation still made Zhong Cang swallow half as much clean air as before.

However, after some experimentation, Zhong Cang also discovered something that gave him a headache... After the step of stirring his tongue, his cultivation speed was much slower.

"Forget it, just slow down, you can't be in a hurry when you practice..."

After comforting himself, Zhong Cang spent all his time in the bamboo forest the next morning.

By inhaling and stirring, he practiced his Qi Qi Art again and again.

And an hour later, Zhong Cang discovered another benefit of a tongue of food.

"Right now, I have swallowed as much air as I used to in nine mouthfuls, but my abdomen is not distended, and I can continue to practice!"

After discovering this, Zhong Cang's eyes gradually brightened, and he quickly figured out the reason why this happened.

"The turbid air is not easy to digest, which makes me bloated."

"Now I breathe mostly clean air, without the blockage of turbid air, I can naturally practice for more time."

"And prolonging the training time can be regarded as speeding up my training speed in disguise. Maybe, I can advance to the fourth level of Qi training in a very short time."

Thinking of the fourth level of Qi training, Zhong Cang's heart skipped a beat.

Yunxiao Sect is a large sect that has been passed down for 3000 years.

To be able to exist for such a long time, Yunxiao Sect naturally has a complete set of disciple training programs.

In the Yunxiao Sect, the disciples start from the lower court, and if they practice the Qi Jue, within a hundred days, if they can enter the body, they can enter the outer court.

But after entering the outer courtyard, it doesn't mean that monks can sit back and relax.

The resources of a sect are always limited, and the cultivation of monks requires wealth and legal land.

Because of this, competition exists everywhere in the sect, and the cruel elimination is also closely following the footsteps of the sect's disciples.

The first round of elimination is the above-mentioned Hundred Days of Entraining Qi into the body.

The second round of elimination is divided between the outer court disciples and the handyman disciples.

After entering the Hundred Days Entraining Qi, if Zhong Cang and the others were unable to raise their cultivation level to the fourth level of Qi training before, they would be judged by the sect as having no value for cultivation, and all the disciples from the outer courtyard would be demoted and become handyman disciples.

If they become handymen, at that time, they will not have time to practice, but need to be busy every day with planting spiritual value, feeding spirit beasts, or working as a fire boy in the refinery.

Zhong Cang has an uncle who is a deacon of the outer sect, so there is no need to worry about the overworked work.

But being downgraded to a handyman means that there is no chance to enter the core of the sect, which Zhong Cang never wants to see.

"The fourth level of Qi training is a hurdle. Only by breaking through the fourth level of Qi training can I have the opportunity to participate in the outer court competition and be favored by the major peak masters and island masters of the inner sect."

As a huge sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Yunxiao Sect has been eliminated and naturally promoted.

Every three years, the outer courtyard will hold a huge competition for outer disciples.

If you perform well in the competition, you will have the opportunity to be valued by the elders of the inner sect, and thus be recruited as inner disciples by them.

The fourth level of Qi training is the basic condition for participating in the competition.

"I have to improve my cultivation as soon as possible! I remember the last outer disciple competition, there is not much time left."

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang felt a sense of urgency.

But soon, he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Don't think too much, and don't be in a hurry. The matter of the fourth level of Qi training has not yet been decided. Moreover, even if I become the fourth level of Qi training, it is the first time for me to compete with outer disciples. I have no chance."

"Also, I don't know an improved way of cultivation, which will allow me to practice more times. If there are only three or five times, it will be useless."

"I hope it can reach twenty times. In this way, the number of times I practice is twice as much as before... No, it is more than twice. In the past, I collected the turbid and clear qi together, and my physique is extremely efficient at absorbing the turbid qi." Low, this kind of practice will not only make my abdomen swell, but also make my absorption efficiency not high."

"Nowadays, most of what I absorb is pure energy. Even with the same training times, the efficiency of my current training is twice as high as before."

"If you can practice twenty times, it will be four times!"
