I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 5 Career Line is Important
Hearing that Wang Hong was willing to compensate, Wang Jing immediately smiled and said, "This item is called Xiaoyao Chair. It is currently only sold in a store called Qiqiao Pavilion in the East Market of the city. When uncle goes there, tell him my name and he will get a 20% discount."

"You haven't been out recently, how can you know so much?"

“Because I own this shop.”

"..."

Wang Hong was so angry that he clenched his fists, but he could only tell himself to stay calm. He thought his second nephew must be acting stupid again and he must not bother with him.

It's just a chair, it's not like I can't afford it.

Then he dragged Wang Jing to see Wang Yun.

When Wang Yun learned that Wang Jing had successfully formed the elixir, he was also shocked, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

He practiced "Nine Refinements of True Yang" back then, and it took him more than a year from the beginning to the completion of the elixir.

But even so, he was called a "gifted man" by the elders in the family, which shows that it is not easy to get a glimpse of this skill.

The secret technique of elixir holding contained in "Nine Refinements of True Yang" is derived from the practice methods of ancient alchemists.

In ancient times, alchemists sought the great way and learned from nature. They regarded the human body as the inner heaven and earth. When practicing, they absorbed the Yuan Qi from the external heaven and earth and built the Yuan Qi circulation in the human body.

Holding the elixir is a sign of the successful construction of the Yuanqi circulation, so it is often called the inner elixir. Although it is condensed from the Yuanqi and has no entity, it plays a role similar to that of the human heart.

The heart transports blood to all parts of the body to maintain the functioning of organs, and Yuan Qi can circulate within the human body endlessly. The role played by the inner elixir is very crucial.

From this perspective, if you want to achieve the elixir, no matter how high your aptitude is, it is impossible to achieve it in one go.

Because the formation of the inner elixir is the result of the circulation of primordial qi in the human body. Once the practice is stopped, the inner elixir will disappear.

If you want your inner elixir to remain permanently in your heart at all times, you must practice diligently. Through years of practice, you can allow the circulation of Yuan Qi to completely transform yourself and eventually turn it into an instinct.

The process will be intermittent and repetitive, and requires constant polishing and contemplation. Only by perseverance can you succeed.

"Within ten days, you can form a pill?"

If the facts were not right before his eyes, Wang Yun would not have believed it at all.

So much so that he couldn't help but ask Wang Jing: "How did you do it?"

Wang Jing lacked basic common sense in the world of cultivation, so he didn't know how shocking what he did was. After all, to put it bluntly, holding the elixir was just to maintain the permanent existence of the inner elixir.

It is difficult for ordinary people to do two things at once, so when they first embark on the path of cultivation, they cannot maintain the operation of their body for a long time. They can only set aside time every day to calm down and meditate to practice.

Only after years of practice, when the practice becomes a conditioned reflex close to physiological instinct, can it be considered as the great achievement of the skill and entering the realm of Baodan.

But Wang Jing doesn’t need it!

Wouldn't it be better to let the Dharmakaya do this kind of hard work?

Artificial intelligence plug-in, available all year round, always on call. Do you want to know more?
As long as you select the most efficient exercise route, you can start upgrading directly. The circulation of Yuan Qi will be coordinated by the Dharma Body, and Wang Jing does not need to devote extra energy to manage it.

Therefore, Wang Jing did not know how difficult it was for other people to achieve the state of Dan. Those who were not qualified enough might not even have the hope of reaching this realm in their entire lives. This was the first obstacle on the road to cultivation.

However, Wang Jing crossed this threshold easily without even feeling anything.

Wang Yun and Wang Hong didn't know what to say at this moment, especially Wang Hong. You know, it took him five years to make the elixir!

The two had originally thought that Wang Ling was the darling of the Taiyuan Wang family, but they had never imagined that Wang Jing's talent was even higher than Wang Ling's, and the degree of superiority was simply difficult to estimate.

Only Wang Jing understood that he was not a genius at all, but he was just standing on the shoulders of giants, which was why he was so much superior to everyone else of this era.

Especially the development of computer technology, which is a leap forward. When combined with thinking energy, it turns decay into magic and produces a wonderful chemical reaction. This makes Wang Jing stand out from the crowd and different from others.

Wang Hong had no idea what Wang Jing was thinking. He was just excited that his family had gained another talented person. He even suggested to Wang Yun, "Yuan Xu is so talented. If he can participate in the monthly review, he will surely make a big splash!"

Yuedanping, also known as Runan Yuedanping, was hosted by Xu Shao, a native of Runan County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Shao and his cousin Xu Jing liked to comment on contemporary figures. They often published their comments on the figures of the time on the first day of each month, which was called Yuedanping.

For example, Xu Shao commented on Cao Cao: "You are a capable minister in a peaceful era, and a treacherous hero in a chaotic era."

It can be said that as soon as the tongue and lips move, months and autumn pass.

Even children of prominent families flock to the Yuedan review, hoping to be on the list and become famous.

To put it bluntly, this is just the routine used by later Internet celebrities to buy traffic.

Only names and tools cannot be lent to others.

The ancients had long understood the importance of fame.

Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the reputation of celebrities was far more important than in later generations, because it was related to whether you could become an official in the future, how high an official you could be, and how much connections and influence you could have.

Wang Yun was somewhat tempted, but then he shook his head and made a rational decision: "Let's put this matter aside for now."

"Why?"

Wang Hong was very puzzled by this. In his opinion, Yuedanping was a great opportunity for Wang Jing to stand out.

Wang Yun didn't think so. "Some time ago, there was an assassin in the palace. You should all remember this, right?"

Wang Hong was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that they have tortured out the identity of the person behind the scenes?"

"No, their identities are not fake. They are indeed the Yellow Turban rebels. However, after the evil Taoist Zhang Jiao was killed, they had already become bandits. This time they came to assassinate, claiming to be seeking revenge, but in fact they were doing the job for money."

"Who is the person behind this? How dare they openly hire someone to assassinate an official appointed by the imperial court!"

Wang Hong was filled with righteous indignation at this moment. The other party was really too bold and presumptuous.

Even though Wang Yun was demoted, he was still the governor of Yuzhou appointed by the imperial court and a genuine important figure. How could he be assassinated in broad daylight at home?

If this happened in the past, the whole country would be outraged, and the emperor would have to order a thorough investigation, whether he was willing or not, to reassure the officials. Otherwise, the officials would have protested directly.

However, the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion left the imperial court with no time to take care of such trivial matters.

That’s right, the assassination of a state governor is no big deal now.

Because not long ago, Xu You, Jizhou Governor Wang Fen, Pei State Zhou Jing and others had just conspired to assassinate Emperor Ling of Liu Hong, and even wanted to bring Cao Cao into the group.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao at that time still wanted to be a loyal minister and had no intention of rebelling, so he refused.

After the failure of the plot, the governor Wang Fen committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and the matter ended like this.

Plotting to assassinate the emperor!
Wouldn't this mean the entire family will be killed and a nine-clan elimination game will be played?

The results of it?
Xu You, one of the masterminds, was still alive and well until the Battle of Guandu more than ten years later, but was finally killed by Boss Cao.

In comparison, the assassination of Wang Yun, the governor of Yuzhou who had just been released from prison and reinstated, was really insignificant and at most a topic of conversation after dinner.

Compared to Wang Hong's indignation, Wang Yun, who had been in the government for a long time and had been imprisoned and re-employed several times, seemed much calmer. He calmly analyzed: "There are many people in the court who have grudges against me, but there is only one person who can resort to such a despicable method as sending assassins to assassinate me."

"You mean the traitor Zhang Rang?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

Wang Yun was a man of integrity. When he first entered official career at the age of 19, he dared to order not to kill a eunuch who was doing evil. Later, he openly contradicted his immediate superior, the prefect Wang Qiu, over personnel appointment issues and almost died in prison.

Did Wang Yun restrain himself afterwards?

Not at all. I was promoted and offended people along the way.

Whenever he dislikes someone or something, he will not pretend not to see it, but will point it out to your face. If you don't change, he will scold you in public and make you feel ashamed.

Who the hell can stand this?

Among them, the most fatal one was Zhang Rang.

In the first year of Zhongping, when Wang Yun, the Left General Huangfu Song, and the Right General Zhu Jun were accepting the surrender of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, they found the letters between Zhang Rang and the Yellow Turban Army!
Then Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun both chose to be blind, but Wang Yun refused to accept that and reported Zhang Rang, the emperor's "second father", on the spot.

What kind of person is Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Eunuchs?
Any dog ​​that sees him would be kicked a few times for no reason and cry out in pain. How dare you offend him to death and even want to kill him?
Can he make you feel better?

So the result of Wang Yun reporting Zhang Rang was that Wang Yun himself was imprisoned. This year, Emperor Ling was in a good mood, so he was pardoned and released from prison.

Therefore, Wang Yun was not surprised at all that Zhang Rang sent out assassins. After all, the two sides had been at loggerheads for a long time and both wished the other would die.

Wang Hong also understood why Wang Yun did not want Wang Jing to participate in the Yuedan Review. As the saying goes, people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of becoming fat. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Wang Yun made enemies everywhere. If those people knew that the Wang family had produced a peerless genius like Wang Jing, how could they sleep peacefully?

For the Wang family of Taiyuan, the benefits that can be brought by the reputation of a talented young man are obviously far less than those of a peerless strong man who grows up to be the pillar of the family.

After all, a genius is only valuable if he is alive.

Wang Jing also widened his eyes, and was more determined to keep a low profile. He warned himself not to be the first to stand out, and to keep a low profile in the future. Otherwise, with Wang Yun's character of not being able to tolerate any sand in his eyes and offending his colleagues everywhere, the people outside who wanted to kill him would probably line up from Jiangdong to Jinyang.

Others are cheating their fathers, but I am the one being cheated by my father.

After a while, Wang Yun personally entered the secret vault, took out the glazed jade box, and handed the Danyu Holy Flame, the treasure inherited from the Taiyuan Wang family, to Wang Jing: "Yuanxu, the future of the Taiyuan Wang family is now in your hands."

"..."

Wang Jing didn't feel touched at all, instead he wanted to complain.

Although my old father is a righteous man, he is also very skilled at making cakes and pie in the sky.

It is true that the divine object Niwa is a treasure, but now you can only draw it three more times at most. What's more, you only have the right to use it and you have to return it later.

As for the huge foundation of the Taiyuan Wang family, if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be inherited by my eldest brother Wang Gai, the eldest son. What does it have to do with me, the second son in the family?

The future of the family is in your own hands. Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you say this?

However, the father still has to put in some superficial effort to show his loving kindness and filial piety. After all, Wang Jing has no intention of leaving the family to start his own business.

"Don't worry, father. Jing will do his best to bring honor to our Wang family in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yun nodded with satisfaction.

After returning, Wang Jing immediately called Diao Chan and said, "Lock the door. No one is allowed to come in until I speak."

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

"Well, I can rest assured that you will do the work."

Wang Jing's heart was surging, his thoughts were like huge waves, and his mind was like a rushing river: "Peerless magic, here I come!"

After all this effort, I can finally start formally practicing the peerless martial art "Nine Refinements of True Yang".

This book of skills has gone beyond the scope of martial arts. Its content is all-encompassing, covering both martial arts and magic. Although it does not have the magical powers of the Confucian sages, it does have its own method of refining the spirit.

The path of spiritual practice is nothing more than essence, energy and spirit.

Refining the essence, refining the qi, and refining the spirit are all the great ways to reach heaven, corresponding respectively to the three power systems of strength, primordial qi, and mental energy. All methods originated in ancient times and were thoroughly developed until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Military strategists and generals practiced martial arts and mastered the techniques of unleashing great strength.

Taoist alchemists studied Taoism in depth and explored the secrets of the circulation of Yuan Qi.

Confucian scholars concentrate their thoughts and respect the teachings of sages.

To date, the three have been integrated with each other. Although there are still differences, they have long been in a relationship where you are in me and I am in you.

Since its creation by our ancestor Wang Jian, "Nine Refinements of True Yang" has been passed down and improved by more than a dozen generations, and has long since integrated martial arts, Taoism, and the secrets of refining the spirit.

Once mastered, one can become one of the strongest men in the world, able to stand firm in a province or county and protect oneself.

After Diao Chan locked the doors and windows, Wang Jing sat cross-legged in the bedroom and began to prepare to absorb the Danyu Holy Flame.

Although the brothers in the Wang family are quite harmonious with each other, Wang Jing is still cautious. It's not because he doesn't trust them, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Even being overly cautious is better than accidentally capsizing in a ditch.

Wang Jing cleared his thoughts and soon entered a state of holding his breath and concentrating. Then he clenched the Fire Element Pearl in his left hand, opened the Glazed Jade Box with his right hand, and placed his palm on Danyu.

At the moment of contact, a ball of fire exploded in Wang Jing’s sea of ​​consciousness. In the blazing flames, the divine bird Phoenix spread its wings and whizzed past.

A clear and loud phoenix cry sounded.

heat!
This was Wang Jing's only feeling at the moment. He felt as if he was in boiling magma. A strong and powerful vitality was pouring into his body along with flames, causing him to suffer a severe impact.

In the boundless light and heat, there is both destruction and new life.

Life and death seemed to be intertwined before Wang Jing's eyes, and at this moment, with the Fire Element Pearl in his hand, his perception of the power of fire was enhanced several times, so he felt it even more deeply.

"Is this the power of the divine bird Phoenix?"

"Destruction breeds vitality, the alternation of life and death, the ultimate power of fire, it is truly extraordinary!"

Wang Jing tried hard to stay conscious. The infusion of Niwa Holy Flame almost drove him crazy, as if every cell in his body was coated with flour and fried in a frying pan until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

This kind of pain is really hard to describe in words.

But the power of the divine fire is to give birth to new life in destruction. Wang Jing understood that it was the Danyu Holy Flame that was transforming his body.

Half an hour later, the transformation finally came to an end. Wang Jing felt as if he had taken a sauna. All the toxins and impurities in his body were discharged along with the sweat, making him feel refreshed.

Her skin is white and tender, as if it had been waxed. When the sunlight shines on it, it shines as if it was covered with a layer of halo.

What the hell!

Cool!
Wang Jing exhaled a breath of foul air, and felt that he was now full of energy and had enough strength to kill a cow!

With a little excitement, the Fire Yuan Pearl was crushed into pieces with a snap.

However, the fire energy inside had been completely extracted just now, and now it was just an ordinary crystal stone, not worth much money.

But Wang Jing still felt distressed. After all, he had been playing with this bead for several days and he still had some feelings for it.

"Diao Chan, you can come in..."

"What do you want, sir?"

"Ask the woodshed to boil a bucket of hot water. I need to wash up."

"Yes."

A moment later, Wang Jing was sitting in the big wooden barrel, enjoying a hot bath comfortably, with Diao Chan rubbing his back behind him.

The steaming water vapor left crystal clear water droplets on the girl's delicate and white skin. Her cheeks were flushed, white and rosy, so delicate that people couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch them a few times when they saw her.

"Diao Chan, use more strength."

"Ok."

Diao Chan looked at Wang Jing's back with a blushing face, and then couldn't help being surprised. How could his skin become so smooth? It felt like silk and felt so good.

Thinking of this, Diao Chan couldn't help but pinch herself a few times.

"Hey, I asked you to rub my back, not pinch it."

"I can't help it."

"Hey, you little devil, no, I have to pinch it back!"

Wang Jing grabbed Diao Chan's little hand, which was still trying to do mischief, and pulled her into the wooden tub. For a moment, water splashed everywhere and she cried out in pleasure. As they were bathing, the bath turned into a water fight.

After washing, both of them changed into clean new clothes.

When Diao Chan was helping Wang Jing change his clothes, she was touching him all over with her soft hands and taking advantage of him.

"Okay, now that you're dressed, no more touching, you hear me?"

"Hehe, I know, but I will dare to do it again next time."

Wang Jing held Diao Chan's delicate little hand in his: "Don't move, I'll read your palm."

"Huh? Young Master can actually tell physiognomy?"

"Haha, I know a lot. Physiognomy is nothing more than three lines."

Seeing Wang Jing showing off to her, Diao Chan already knew his temper very well, so she was too lazy to expose him. Instead, she smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details. I hope you will be generous in giving me some advice."

Wang Jing immediately pinched Diao Chan's slender fingers, which were as thin as green onions, and played with them casually, saying perfunctorily: "The so-called three lines are the life line, the emotional line and the career line. And for women, the most worth talking about is the career line."

"My dear, you are joking again. Don't all women in this world want to marry into a good family and then stay at home to take care of their husbands and children? What is there to talk about with a career?"

"Oh, that's wrong. Fu Hao, the wife of King Wu Ding of Shang, was a heroic woman. She once led troops to fight in person to defend her country. She was as brave as any man."

"It's actually a female general!"

"So, a woman's cleavage is very important. This line must be straight, deep, white and big enough, so that she can avoid taking detours in her future life. Do you understand?"

Diao Chan didn't understand what was going on, and even felt something was strange, but she still nodded seriously.

After all, what Langjun said is right!
