With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 12 The Twenty-Third Year of Kaiyuan

The Lantern Festival is over and the celebrations are over.

The people of the entire Zhou Dynasty continued on the same track as in previous years.

Pulling this rotten carriage forward with a heavy load.

This year is the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan.

It was also the 23rd year that Zhao Xuan, the eighth emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, ruled the world.

And Li Zhen has also been in this world for nearly a year.

From the panic when I first arrived, to now I am integrated into it and feel like a fish in water.

He asked himself, he adapted quickly.

During this year, Li Zhen consolidated his third-rate martial arts cultivation.

The big toad's true energy has just begun to form, and it can already be separated from the body by an inch.

Although it has no obvious lethality, it means that his practice has reached a critical step.

The next step is to open up the eight extraordinary meridians and build a weekly circulation.

Continuous efforts towards the second-rate martial arts realm.

With the help of two martial arts that complement each other, "Fishing Toad Qi" and "Tiangang Big Toad Qi".

Li Zhen feels that this time will not be too far away.

In addition to martial arts practice, he spent most of his free time on enriching himself.

As a bookkeeper with a library containing tens of thousands of books.

When it comes to reading these books that are hard to come by for ordinary people, Li Zhen is simply the first to get the most.

In addition to studying medical skills on a daily basis, he also set his sights on the large number of Taoist treasures in the library.

Because he discovered a problem while practicing martial arts.

Whether it is "Toad Fishing Skill" or "Tiangang Big Toad Qi".

Or maybe it was the "Sunflower Xiangyang Sutra" that Xiao Chunzi quietly carved under the table.

These martial arts techniques are simply ways to teach people how to practice.

As for the deeper core, it was not even mentioned.

Enlightenment is required everywhere, and every sentence depends on guesswork.

It seems that the predecessors of these martial arts were created.

I feel that everyone who learns their martial arts is the kind of martial arts genius who has never been born before.

But unfortunately, there are the most mediocre people in the world.

And Li Zhen is also one of them.

But unlike others, he also has an inquiring mind.

From the cultivation of "Toad Fishing Technique", the inner breath is skewed to yang, and then to the "Tiangang Big Toad Qi", you need to absorb the moon cave to replenish the true yin.

Only when the two practice together can the yin and yang of the true energy be blended together without any future troubles.

Taking this as an extension, Li Zhen quickly thought of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi concept that was almost a household name in his previous life.

Although it is only a preliminary understanding.

But in the process of constantly browsing the Taoist canon of this life, combined with the understanding of previous lives.

Unknowingly, he had some completely new views on the two martial arts techniques he practiced.

Maybe, one day.

With the support of a sound concept, you can try to integrate it yourself.

Create the martial arts technique that suits you best.

What Taoist Tian can do, Li Zhen can do the same.

Moreover, we will definitely do better.

With the magical power of "interpretation" in hand, Li Zhen has absolute confidence.

When Li Zhen was hiding in the library, trying to enrich himself.

The capital outside is not peaceful.

Many people died, not ordinary.

There are civil servants of high rank, as well as generals in charge of the army.

There are also some businessmen who are not in the court but are wealthy folk.

Lots and lots of different things.

The bluestone floor at Caishikou was stained with scarlet red that couldn't be washed away.

Some of these dead people were from the eldest prince, and some were from the second prince.

There are also people who support other princes and make money for them.

But no matter who they are, they all have one thing in common.

That is, they were all involved in the previous case of Yu Shi Zhang.

It was not an assassination, but a huge amount of stolen money from an unknown source by Zhang Yuzhi! no doubt.

This is the old emperor's move.

He is using Zhang Yushi's case to clean up the moth in the court.

At the same time, it is also beating the princes who are ready to make a move.

Let them be honest.

It also lets them know that they are just old and not dead yet.

As long as he reigns for a day, they will always be just princes.

It's just a tragedy for those innocent beings affected by this storm.

However, this is also the normal state of struggle in the court.

Everyone involved in this game has no control over their destiny.

Life or death is a matter of the emperor's word.

I want to live a stable life.

Ability is less important, but luck is.

For example, because of the lockdown.

When other princes' forces were more or less hit.

King Huainan, everything is safe and sound.

He even took advantage of the opportunity when others were not paying attention to him and quietly developed his own power in secret.

One goes down and the other goes up.

Who will take the throne in the future is a little more variable.

However, these have little to do with Li Zhen.

No matter how hard things are going on outside, as long as nothing happens to the old emperor, everything will still be under control.

But if news spreads that the old emperor is ill.

Don't hesitate, just be ready to run.

However, the palace has become more tense recently, and there are many more guards patrolling day and night.

I heard it was because the queen’s sixtieth birthday was approaching.

The emperor's younger sister, Princess Dazhou, who is practicing as a monk at Wuling Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, is returning to the capital to pray for the queen.

Because the eldest princess has always been close to the third prince, King Huainan, she will stay temporarily in the palace of Huainan King when she returns.

Li Zhen didn't react much when he heard the news.

Be it a queen or an eldest princess.

It has nothing to do with him, a little bookkeeper.

However, Princess Zhou would actually become a Taoist priest, which made him slightly curious.

Is she a true Taoist priest who practices metaphysics, or is she a fake Taoist priest who is trying to sell the meat of others?

But that's all, nothing more.

[You have read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and have a deeper understanding of the properties of medicinal materials]

library.

Li Zhen closed the book in his hand, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

According to legends about strange people in the world, some people were born with a magical nose.

No matter what kind of medicine or elixir it is, you can accurately identify each medicine you are using just by smelling it.

Li Zhen now wishes he had such a magical nose.

In this way, we can decipher the mystery of the Great Human Yuan Pill in front of us.

But alas, legends are just legends.

It has been some time since I got the Great Pill of Renyuan, but there is still no progress in research on it.

Li Zhen would not dare to put something into his mouth without knowing the details.

Don't listen to what Taoist Ge said, you can make people who are not familiar with martial arts have Qi cultivation comparable to that of first-class martial arts masters out of thin air.

But what's the price?

In my previous life, I had heard a lot about pills that squeezed potential in exchange for strength.

Li Zhen refused to accept this.

However, how to deal with this elixir made him a little troubled.

In my mind, I suddenly saw Changsheng slowly climbing out of the box.

Climb to the open space in front of the door and lazily bask in the sun.

A thought suddenly arose in my mind.
