Master of the Fountain of Youth: Longevity from Taoist

Chapter 2

……

The next day.

The handyman who was in charge of fetching water before the cock crowed found that there was already a sound of shouting in front of the hut not far away, so he went carefully to check and found a Taoist boy punching there.

surprised.

"There are people in Yujing Temple who got up earlier than me, which is unprecedented."

The person carrying the bucket couldn't help but yawned and laughed.

"Don't look at it, even if you look at it for ten years, you won't learn it."

"Who said it? What if I learned it by stealing?"

"You can't even read and write, and you still study the scriptures? You're dreaming... Hurry up and fetch water. If it's too late, the manager will be scolding."

"Yes, let's go!"

The chatter between the two handymen was nothing more than casual chatter.

in the courtyard.

Xu Dao finished Qianyuan Kung Fu again, and felt hungry before the sky was clear.

According to the book, building up your body is a long-term thing, and even if you are a beginner, your strength will not increase by a hundred catties overnight.

But in the next hundred days, it will gradually be fed back to the body.

The more you eat, the better the effect.

"Food is essence, and the essence feeds back to the body and is perfectly absorbed, and then it shows the phenomenon of increased strength. Is this the manifestation of physique..."

Xu Dao murmured in a low voice.

The warm current in his body has been reduced by half today. Fortunately, he practiced hard for a day yesterday and remembered most of it. The remaining two days are enough for him to reach the standard that Xugu Daoist said.

This unprecedented experience is the best bait for a modern person like him, and he is very enthusiastic without being pushed.

The foundation-building method alone has such an effect, and Xu Dao couldn't help but look forward to the method of Qi practitioners in the future.

If you are motivated, you will work harder in your practice and fully immerse yourself in it.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed since the day of preaching the Fa.

It's still the same.

"Junior Brother Xuan Xiao, Master Xugu asked you to find him in the Danding Hall."

"go immediately!"

Shouting something to the window, Xu Dao immediately went out, Xu Gu Zhenren is the sutra teacher of Danding Hall, and all the herbal picking boys are under his name.

Enter the mountain once every ten days.

Today is not the day to enter the mountain, so it should be to check the progress of his practice.

With anticipation, Xu Dao stepped into the gate of Danding Hall.

Master Xugu showed disappointment when he saw him at first sight.

"The essence flow is seriously drained, the complexion is sallow and dull, and the appearance is haggard. Is this how you practice?"

"I tell you to work hard, not to practice day and night. You must have three meals a day. If you have conditions, five or six meals are better."

"Essence Qi is not enough to replenish, it is easy to hurt the root and damage the vitality!"

"Cultivation should not be rushed!"

"It's all written in the book, didn't you see it?"

Daoist Xu Gu showed anger on his face, and with a quick glance, Xu Dao said that there is no mirror in the room, so he was a little confused after being so frightened.

"Ugh……"

Perhaps it was this confused look that moved Master Xu Gu to feel compassion, he let out a long sigh, and took out a jade bottle.

Carefully poured out one and handed it to Xu Dao.

"Xuan Xiao, this is the secret elixir of the Danding Palace, the Jingyuan Pill, which is specially used to replenish Jingyuan."

"Fortunately, you only practiced for three days. If you continue like this, you will definitely die within half a year!"

"Before practicing in the future, read all the taboos before practicing."

"Yes!"

Xu Dao hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, and told himself to be careful, since he didn't have the foundation in this area, it was inevitable that he would make mistakes.

"Go down, and go to the mountains to collect herbs in two days."

"Disciple obeys."

Holding the Jingyuan Pill given by Master Xu Gu, Xu Dao retreated silently.

Wait until the gate of Danding Hall is closed.

An old voice suddenly sounded from the screen at the back of the hall.

"Junior Brother Xu Gu, although your aptitude is mediocre, but you are hardworking and willing to practice, you will be successful sooner or later, why bother to scare him with words."

Master Xugu shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Jingyuan Pill is precious, if it is rewarded directly to him, other disciples will inevitably be dissatisfied, so this method can only be used, I hope he will not hold grudges against me."

"you really……"

"But you really figured out the origin of Xu Dao? It must be your old friend."

"maybe."

"The snow field that the medicinal disciple found was the place where my old friend and I met, and it happened to be named Xu. There is no such coincidence in the world."

"Forget it...and it's all up to you."

……

In the dormitory.

Xu Dao's face was bitter. If he heard the conversation after Danding Palace, he must know that it was a misunderstanding, and he thought that there was something wrong with his cultivation.

In distress, he sat cross-legged on the bed, and swallowed the Jingyuan Pill given by Master Xugu.

It's okay not to eat, but after eating, I felt a flame burning in my stomach, it was so hot that I had to take off my clothes, and subconsciously practiced "Qian Yuan Zhuang Physical Skill".

It was already the second day when he came back to his senses.

He was so frightened that he lost his soul in an instant, and headed straight for the secluded pool in the mountains. This is where the handyman fetches water on weekdays.

Wait until he sees the reflection on the water.

The hanging heart was finally let go.

He couldn't help touching his face, it was still the same little Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth.

"Fortunately, the master gave me Jingyuan Pill..."

He attributed it to the elixir.

"In the future, you must set a good time for practicing kung fu. You should have understood the reason for going too far."

I squeezed my fist, and felt that my strength was a little stronger, and the effect was remarkable.

Having regained his peaceful mind, he hummed a ditty and headed back home.

But he didn't realize that he came out in a hurry, with no clothes on, and he didn't feel cold even in the cold and windy morning with his shirt on.

It is obviously a sign of getting started with Qianyuan Gong - "cold and heat do not invade"

the next day.

Xu Dao was very persuasive.

After practicing for two hours in the morning, I went to the fasting room to wait for the meal, and practiced for another two hours in the afternoon to go fishing in the Gutan on the mountainside, leisurely and carefree.

Occasionally, when receiving goods, you can also use fish to make a tooth sacrifice, and open a small stove for yourself.

Two days later.

It's time to go into the mountains to collect herbs.

More than 30 disciples of Danding Hall gathered in the small square in front of the hall, and the people in the pharmacy distributed herbal collection tools and sent them a road map.

The map shows the places marked by the predecessors. Some places were immature decades ago, and now they can be harvested if they meet the standard this year, so they need to dig them back.

In addition, there is a blank map.

They need to mark some newly discovered medicinal points, or places that the map has not extended to. When you go, the road you have traveled must be drawn.

Organize later for convenience.

With the development of several generations, the medicine map has gradually become larger and more complicated. Now as long as you follow the assigned route, you can go to the mountain for a few days and return with a full reward.

The nearby ferocious beasts have basically been cleaned up, as long as you pay attention to the genus of poisonous insects and the dangerous terrain, the danger is not great.

Xu Dao did it once before, and the old man took it with him.

Now that Qianyuan Kungfu has been introduced, Daoist Xugu has already reported it, and today will be his first time to go to the mountains alone to collect herbs.

Guanzhong prepared them capes, fire bags and dry food for them to spend the night in the mountains.

The chattering pharmacy manager finished.

Some of the disciples of the Danding Temple walked together and some walked alone. They started from the same mountain path, but went in different directions. Xu Dao was no exception.
