Master of the Fountain of Youth: Longevity from Taoist

Chapter 4 The Fountain of Youth
……

On the first day of entering the mountain, I spent most of the time on the road.

Spent the night in a tree.

Xu Dao has always kept the secret about the Fountain of Youth in his heart, and the Fountain of Youth he found back then came with him...

He can feel it, even see it through some unique senses!
right inside yourself.

That gray dry spring.

When he found it in an isolated island in his previous life, it was still overflowing, and it weighed about a thousand or eight hundred catties. He just licked it with his tongue, and he grew backwards from his 30s to 11 years old.

A few drops of the weight are not, it is 20 years younger.

Now that he travels inexplicably, the fountain of youth has also dried up, which makes him think that "it" brought him to this world.

As for how to restore it, it is temporarily unknown.

It was hidden in the body, Xu Dao didn't even have the ability to pour water into it, so how could it be recovered?We can only bide our time.

……

In the early morning, the mountains and forests are full of water vapor.

Thanks to the efforts of Yujing Guan, there are few beasts within a radius of tens of miles, and it is safe with a high probability.

Pull out the road map.

Today Xu Dao needs to collect herbs from eight places, except for one "Tumbler" that needs to climb a cliff, and the rest of the labels are not particularly dangerous.

The trip to collect medicine went well.

It's just that he picked the medicine during the day, and when he spent the night in the tree the next night, he suddenly remembered what the real person Xu Gu had said to him.

Practicing exercises consumes a lot of energy, and damage to the vitality will easily shorten the life span. If the fountain of youth can be used, it will be fine. If it can’t be used, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

What's the difference between being alone and dying with hundreds of millions of cash left unspent?
"Isn't it enough for a Jingyuan Pill to benefit..."

Thoughts fly.

Xu Dao's eyes turned involuntarily to the herbs in the bamboo basket.

"I'll just eat a little, so I won't be discovered... This wild medicine is left unattended, and it's normal for it to be damaged in one or two places."

In fact, going to the mountains to collect herbs is a tiring job with some benefits.

It's impossible to exchange it for money, but many people do it by eating the conversion success power. As long as it's not too much, Yujingguan won't say anything.

"Just a little..."

Chewing herbs raw is not tasty, and not everything can be eaten.

You need to be familiar with the properties of the medicine, and random stuffing is even less advisable.

Therefore, Xu Dao could only choose some that he knew, and eat some sneakily for the purpose of replenishing qi and blood.

"Yam, licorice, Atractylodes macrocephala, ginseng..."

"Wild ginseng should be the most suitable."

"That's it."

Ginseng is considered to be the most common medicinal material that disciples of medicinal herbs will dig. It is widely used, and there are many in the mountains.

Perhaps it was due to psychological reasons. Not long after Xu Dao ate it, he felt hot all over, and immediately went down to practice Qianyuan Gong.

Practice the three-hour period in summer and the three-nine-month period in winter.

No matter what you do, persistence is always an extremely important part.

A little embarrassment did not stop him at all.

Time passed quietly, and the time to go back came in a blink of an eye, and the dry food in my pocket was almost full.

In the past few days, Xu Dao had thought about game in the mountains.

Since there are no natural enemies, there are a lot of animals like pheasants and hares. Unfortunately, these animals are very cunning, and after all their efforts, they can only catch a pheasant and be roasted and eaten by him.

His small arms and legs are really hard to chase, and he has no tools.

Some traps of using local materials were also abandoned by him because the results were too slow and the efficiency was not enough.

"Mountain treasures are much harder to catch than seafood... either they can fly or they can burrow into the ground, they can really run..."

I have no choice but to babble.

Carrying the medicine basket on his back, Xu Dao returned along the way he came from, without encountering any twists and turns. It was the first time in his life that he went alone to the mountains to collect medicine, and he completed it smoothly.

When he returned to Yujingguan, except for Xuan Shan who praised him, his complexion was rosy and shiny, he didn't look like someone who lived in the wilderness for several days and nights.

Xu Dao knew too few other acquaintances, and he could even say that he didn't have any, and he didn't have much to talk about.

The days that followed were uneventful.

Apart from going to listen to the scriptures and sermons every day, Master Xugu seemed to really value him, and would drag him to give him lessons every three days in the afternoon.

It tells about various common senses of cultivation and knowledge of medicinal materials.

Teach him some basics of alchemy, there are vague signs of passing on alchemy to him, and what he is doing now is helping him lay the foundation.

Now Xu Dao thoroughly confirmed that Master Xu Gu really wanted to accept him as his personal disciple.

It's just that there are no relatives, no reason, no reason.

After thinking about it, he only came to one conclusion.

"Am I really a genius?"

……

Time flies, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three years later, the little Taoist priest aged fourteen suddenly grew taller, and his frame became much stronger.

The progress of Qianyuan Gong is dull.

Some time ago, he only broke through to Xiaocheng step by step and became a "fetal breath realm" monk.

This is still taking into account the factors such as the many times that Master Xugu gave him Jingyuan Pills, and went to the mountains to collect herbs and eat them secretly.

A secluded pool in the mountains.

Xu Dao was lazily lying on the armchair, with a bamboo pole for fishing stuck on the armrest, and kept stuffing small snacks such as jerky into his mouth.

Thanks to the improvement of his realm, his physical strength became stronger and stronger. It was as easy as drinking water to catch the mountain game that had been difficult for him before.

So I made a lot of jerky as snacks to replenish the energy that is being consumed all the time.

Today, the changes in the body have become slower and slower.

Every step is difficult and requires greater stimulation to make significant progress.

He could see it clearly.

He is a bullshit genius, at most he is a genius, better than Xuan Shan, but not as good as those disciples who are accepted as personal disciples.

Daoist Xugu got close to him because he had other reasons.

The reason why the mentality is so calm, not in a hurry, and perfectly followed the practice advice of Master Xu Gu, is because of the changes in the Fountain of Youth!
About a year ago.

Xu Dao followed the disciples of the Hall of Rites and went down the mountain. He learned a lot about the world below the mountain, and he also had a basic concept of the ten miles and eight villages.

It was then.

Two drops of spring water flew out of the dry spring of the Spring of Youth!

After two years of verification and speculation, the Fountain of Youth has always been in good condition. The reason why there is no spring water is probably because it was consumed when it came over.

With the growth of age and the improvement of knowledge.

The spring water will gush out again, so Xu Dao concluded that there are two factors affecting the fountain of youth.

Age + experience!

After rigorous experiments, Xu Dao discovered that with each year he grew older, more spring water overflowed.

With the growth of knowledge, geography, humanities, knowledge, and human relationships are all given.

It's just two factors that don't seem obvious now.

He is accurate to the millimeter to compare the subtle differences.

And one drop of the Fountain of Youth can make him reverse his life for 20 years. No matter how these 20 years are said, at least twenty drops can be produced, only more and no less.

so cycle.

Theoretically speaking, he has lived forever...

This is also one of the important reasons why he can calm his mind and not rush at all.

The only thing.

The Fountain of Youth was hidden somewhere in his body, and the spring water could not be taken out except for his own use.

Perhaps the realm is high, and there may be changes after transcending the vulgarity.
