The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 8 Medicinal Bath
Returning to the valley, she gave him the bag of water and went straight back to her house.

There were two sets of gray and white Taoist robes in the pocket, as well as a brand new letter and a jade identity card.

She hung the two robes on the rafters and began to read the "Rules of Entry".

The first few pages are about the sect's rules, and there are eighty-one in total, including daily clothing and other issues. The following is an introduction to the establishment, structure, and positions of the sect.

Taiyuemen has the power of being the head of the clan, and there are three elders under him, who are in charge of the three main halls: punishment, affairs, and elixirs. Among them, the elixir hall is special, because the elixirs of the entire Taiyue Sect are refined by Zhao Lao, the elder of Keqing, and then sent to the elixir hall for sale.

So nominally speaking, the elders of the Pill Hall are equivalent to positions for sale.

Further down, there are direct disciples, inner disciples, outer elders, outer disciples, and servant disciples.

Except for Shanlinggen disciples, every other disciple who enters the sect can only become an outer disciple or a handyman disciple. If you successfully enter the sixth level of Qi training before the age of eighteen, you can enter the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple.

In the Taiyue Sect, disciples also have salaries, but they are calculated based on a points system.

These points are tied to the status jade card, and you only need to deduct it from it every time you purchase something.

According to the sect rules, inner disciples can get thirty points every month, outer disciples can get fifteen points, and handyman disciples can only get five points.

These points can be used to purchase elixirs, magical weapons, exercises, etc. within the sect, or they can be exchanged for money. As for the ratio of exchanging money, the "Getting Started Code" also has a detailed ratio: 1:100.

In other words, one point can be exchanged for one hundred dollars, which is equivalent to ten taels of silver!

Of course, after entering Taiyue Sect, each disciple needs to go to the Affairs Hall to receive tasks three times a month. If the task is not completed within the time limit, someone from the Punishment Hall will come to you.

If you do not accept the task for more than three months, all your money will be taken back, your points will be wiped out, and you will be imprisoned for three months.

If you still don't repent after you come out, your cultivation will be revoked and you will be expelled from the sect.

After reading "Introduction Rules", it was already dark, so she picked up the "Qi Entrainment Technique" again, thought about it, and put it down.

"Forget it, let's get some rest early, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

She had developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early when she was in the Gu Mansion. In this life, she cherishes her body very much.

But what she didn't expect was that Shui Shui was shouting outside early in the morning as if he had inexhaustible energy.

"Junior Sister Gu! Junior Sister Gu!"

Gu Nian was a little irritated by the noise, and started cleaning with resentment. After breakfast, she started fetching water again. There is a stream a few dozen steps up the mountain, not far away.

She had been weak since she was a child, and carrying water was a strenuous task. She was so exhausted that she was sweating and her face turned pale after only carrying half a tank of water.

When Duo Shui saw it, he couldn't help but said: "Your body is too weak. If you continue like this, you will collapse sooner or later."

Regardless of whether Gu Nian wanted to or not, he took the wooden bucket and skipped towards the stream in the back mountain to fetch water.

This scene happened to be seen by Mr. Zhao. He sighed, took Gu Nian back to the main hall, and looked at the pale little face.

Said: "You are born with a weak body and are accompanied by hidden diseases. There is almost no hope of bringing Qi into your body in this life. Wang Zhixian has studied medical skills with me for several years. It is probably because he saw your physical condition that he entrusted you to me."

Hearing this, Gu Nian was shocked.

She didn't expect that her physical condition was so bad. If she really couldn't practice, then what was the point of coming to Taiyue Sect.

"Please ask Mr. Zhao to teach me!"

She quickly knelt on the ground.

If this life ends here, it would be better to stay in the Gu Mansion, at least not having to work and having enough food and clothing.

"The secret disease you have is left in your belly, resulting in excessive congenital yin energy. It is really difficult to cultivate!"

When Gu Nian heard this, he immediately lost his composure.

Not caring about anything else, he kowtowed again: "No matter what method, as long as it can suppress the cold air in the disciple's body, the disciple is willing to try it!"

"Please teach me, sir!" Seeing that the old man was unmoved, Gu Nian had no choice but to kowtow, one, two, three...

Banging sounds continued to sound in the wooden house, and even though her head was bleeding from kowtow and the ground was dyed red, she did not stop.

Mr. Zhao looked at the girl and remained silent.

The teenage boy's cheeks were full of perseverance, and blood flowed down the bridge of his nose, across the corners of his mouth, and wet the Taoist robe.

"That's it!"

Looking at this scene, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but be touched in his eyes, but he couldn't bear it anymore.

"I have an elixir here called 'Queue Dan'. This elixir is quite overbearing. It needs to be taken with the help of a medicinal bath. Do not have any distracting thoughts when taking it. Otherwise, bleeding from the seven orifices will be minor, or even worse, the body will explode and die." Danger."

Mr. Zhao took out a black porcelain bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the old wooden table. He looked at Gu Nian and said, "Are you willing to give it a try?"

"Disciple Gu Nian, thank you master!"

Mr. Zhao shook his head: "You and I have no master-disciple relationship. I won't teach you anything. All this is your own choice."

"You have been practicing normally recently. As for the medicinal bath, I will let you know when I am ready."

He left a word and left simply.

Gu Nian watched the other party leave blankly, and finally turned his gaze to the porcelain bottle on the table with a firm gaze.

……

The night has not yet faded, and the light blue sky shrouds the mountains in the distance.

Gu Nian was sitting by the window, with an oil lamp lit on the wooden table, flipping through the book of Qi Entrainment Techniques, frowning and not letting go for a long time.

"The person who exhales and takes in is breathing. Breathing out, spitting out the old and taking in the new, is just for longevity. Exhale three inches and take in the heel, the four doors are closed tightly, and the Qi machine is flowing..."

She was very puzzled and could only draw pictures from gourds and gourds. She sat there for an hour, but it had no effect.

It is said in the book:

When I first sat in meditation, I felt my heart surge and my blood surge. Later, I felt that it was difficult to keep away distracting thoughts, and my body and mind were calm. It can be done as soon as it comes, and it can be stopped as soon as it is born. Over time, the thoughts in my mind are like a trickle, flowing freely.

As the saying goes: Thoughts are clear.

Gu Nian was noncommittal.

So she prepared to use the stupidest but most effective method in her previous life.

That’s morning reading!
Ancient people liked to be intoxicated with life, and Gu Nian was the same. If he only cultivated immortality for the sake of cultivating immortality, then cultivating immortality would completely lose its meaning.

So in the next half month, the job of carrying water was basically taken over by a lot of water, and I would always pat my chest and say:
"I'm originally from the countryside and I'm in good health. This qi-entraining technique makes my head spin. It's better to work easily."

In this way, apart from eating and sleeping every day, Gu Nian also reads and meditates. Sometimes she also goes to study pharmacology with Mr. Zhao.

On this day, she was reading in the courtyard. When she read "Qi gathering leads to life, Qi dying leads to death", Mr. Zhao came to see her again.

"The medicinal bath is ready. Take the elixir I gave you and follow me to the alchemy room."

Gu Nian was shocked.

She quickly packed up her books and followed Mr. Zhao all the way to the alchemy room.

The alchemy room is located on the far right. Unlike other rooms, the entire alchemy room is supported by huge trees and surrounded by stone walls.

There is a huge three-legged cauldron in the house, half as tall as a man. Due to the constant fires, the outside of the cauldron is dark, and the patterns on the cauldron have been covered by burning ashes.

There were long wooden tables on both sides. There were various iron and porcelain pots and grinding tools on the table, which dazzled her.
