Chapter 26: Yearning

The third floor of the cave.

The stone walls that have been refined by Han Bingkun are very unique, showing a translucent texture in the bright moonlight, but in the daytime, they are no different from ordinary mountain stones. However, at this time, looking up from Lu Qiming's angle, there is a new scene.

The third layer of nicks is changed and engraved, and Han Bingkun was in a state of excitement at the time, because a considerable part of the nicks were extremely heavy, almost penetrating the mountain wall, leaving only a thin layer of stone film. From the outside, you can't see the difference, but from the inside, you can see that the notches with different meanings are shining through, and beams of light are interspersed and intertwined in the third layer of space. At this point, those nicks seem to have taken on a new meaning.

Lu Qiming looked up at the countless beams of light in the space. Before I knew it, it was already dawning, and it seemed that it was sunny today.

However, Lu Qiming's expression was unusually dignified. He suddenly withdrew the handprint of the "Recipe for Longevity" and frowned in contemplation.

Although he had no choice but to choose the wood system exercise method because of his physical reasons, he was not going to do it by cultivating the "Recipe for Longevity". Looking at Lu's entire collection, "The Recipe for Eternal Life" is definitely qualified to rank in the top three. It has almost brought out the advantages of the wood attribute to the extreme, and at the same time, its warming effect on the cultivator's body has reached the point where it can increase longevity.

You must know that martial arts practice for many years and the pursuit of the ultimate development of the human body, not only can not prolong life, but many people with poor cultivation conditions will even have a situation of "premature aging", and their life expectancy is worse than that of ordinary people. Only when the realm reaches the "Great Zhou Tian" and truly begins to communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the body gradually changes, the longevity can be increased, and the cultivator begins to embark on the path of immortality.

And "The Recipe for Longevity" was able to do such a thing in advance. Naturally, its effect cannot be compared with the real Great Zhoutian. But even a few more years of lifespan greatly increases the hope of further breakthroughs.

At the same time, although the "Recipe for Longevity" is mainly based on wood attributes, if the cultivator himself has a physique with other attributes, the internal force can also be temporarily converted into other attributes. Lu Qiming has all five elements, which is really convenient.

Therefore, in any respect, "Recipe for Longevity" is worthy of its name as a top exercise. Lu Qiming has always believed that "The Secret of Longevity" is the most suitable exercise for himself.

However, after this night's pranayama practice, Lu Qiming's doubts became bigger and bigger. After entering Xiao Zhoutian, his perception and control of himself were not the same as those of a martial artist, and he clearly felt that the "Recipe for Longevity" was actually reducing the medicinal power of the Five Elements Guyuan Pill!

The extent of this weakening is extremely small, but it does exist. The Five Elements Gu Yuan Dan is obviously good for his body, why does the "Recipe for Longevity" conflict with it? This doesn't make sense. Lu Qiming frowned, even if he thought he was familiar with medical science, he couldn't think of a reason at this moment.

Lu Qiming suddenly remembered the book given to him by the old man in brocade, and he immediately took it out and opened it. As soon as he turned the pages where "Mountain Treasure" was written, his eyes froze -- this was clearly the handwriting of the black shadow! -- "The exercises were originally in my heart."

Lu Qiming was stunned, and couldn't help but look up at the carvings on the mountain wall, and smiled slightly bitterly - the meaning of that black shadow would not be to let him create his own exercises like Han Bingkun, right? Now he is still far behind......

He turned the page again, and it was still the words of the black shadow: "The solution of the physique, I will know it soon." ”

Lu Qiming rolled his eyes and continued to scroll back—there would be no more black shadows behind him, only prescriptions for various purposes. He sighed, and simply studied the pharmacology of the above pill - according to their precise ability of prediction, these would always be used in the future.

......

Song Ping'an woke up, got up and looked around, but he didn't see Lu Qiming. She breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a faint hint of loss. Realizing this, Song Ping'an couldn't help but be stunned - when did he have such a sense of dependence on him?

She carefully combed her clothes and hair, thought about it, and walked to the third floor.

Lu Qiming is really here.

Song Ping'an saw at a glance the young man who was reading seriously in the golden morning light. He heard the sound and turned around to greet Song Ping'an with a smile. When Song Ping'an didn't think about anything in his heart, a smile bloomed on his face first. She couldn't help but sigh secretly: "He is such a person who makes people feel stable in their hearts." ”

Lu Qiming stood up and walked towards her and asked, "Ping'an, when are you going to change your cultivation?"

"When I understand what my predecessors wrote, I'll start directly. Song Ping'an's eyes were firm.

"It's okay," Lu Qiming nodded and said with a smile: "With the cultivation of the potion, you will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"You mean......" Song Ping'an's eyes lit up.

"The Jiyue Spirit Grass outside can't be wasted. Lu Qiming smiled.

......

The two of them swam through the cold pool, and once again came to the small valley outside. The spring is bright, the flowers are blooming all over the field, and the two of them are picking the Jiyue spirit grass in it, talking and laughing, and they have some fun.

"By the way, what should it do?" Song Ping'an pointed to the golden eagle sleeping soundly on the grass.

Before, the two were worried that if they let the golden eagle return to the nest, the red lady might come over in the same way. So Lu Qiming fed the golden eagle a bottle of potion to make the golden eagle fall asleep temporarily. However, this elixir is not only harmless to the demon beast, but also helps the demon beast to open up its spiritual intelligence. This can also be regarded as Lu Qiming's thank you.

You must know that although demon beasts can absorb the aura of heaven and earth out of instinct, their spiritual intelligence is not much higher than that of ordinary beasts. It is only after a long period of time that one can gradually open up spiritual wisdom and truly embark on the path of cultivation. At that time, their intelligence was no different from that of humans, and they also had a new name - "demons".

Lu Qiming's medicine naturally cannot directly turn the golden eagle into a "demon", but it is also a great opportunity for the golden eagle.

"It's about to wake up. Lu Qiming estimated the time, and then smiled: "However, I guess, it must be unwilling to go." ”

Song Ping'an's eyes widened, and he slandered in his heart, he wouldn't still use medicine to lure it!

......

In the valley, the tempting aroma of food completely overshadowed the Jiyue Spirit Grass, and Lu Qiming looked at the front of him with a smile - a golden eagle and a girl couldn't stop eating.

Song Ping'an seemed to be a little aware of this, and whispered a little embarrassedly: "I think that the food of the legendary Zhongzhou Martial Academy is probably not as delicious as what you make......"

"That's not it," Lu Qiming recalled the appearance of the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Academy described to him by his parents, and said, "Zhongwu also has a branch that specializes in teaching cooking skills, and I am definitely far worse than them." "Zhongwu" is the abbreviation of "Zhongzhou Wuyuan" commonly used by people.

"Cooking?!" Song Ping'an said in surprise: "Isn't Zhongwu a place to teach people to cultivate?"

"Absolutely. However, Zhongwu believes that there is nothing in the world that cannot be practiced. For example, when it comes to cooking, you need better control to make food delicious. I heard that Zhongwu's cooking exam is as difficult as the alchemy exam. Lu Qiming said, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, he heard his father show off, and his mother was the first in the cooking exam back then.

"Wow......" Song Ping'an exclaimed, "Then there must be a calligraphy branch, a painting branch or something, there must be alchemy, refining tools, ......" She suddenly asked: "Then, is there a branch that teaches people how to communicate with animals?"

"You mean 'taming the beast'? Yes. Lu Qiming nodded, looked at her and said, "What, are you interested in this?"

Song Ping'an nodded slightly embarrassedly, and whispered: "Because I often went to the mountains when I was a child, I think they are quite good......

"Advanced animal trainers are very powerful, and there are many people who want to take the exam. Lu Qiming smiled.

"Really?" Song Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he praised: "It seems that there is really only what I can't think of...... That Zhongwu must be very big. ”

"It's not just 'big'. The area of Zhongwu is not much smaller than that of the entire Dasheng Dynasty. Lu Qiming said, thought about it, and added: "But most of them are places of cultivation. ”

"I'd heard it before, and I thought it was someone else's joke. Song Ping'an blinked and said, "Oh my God, I haven't even seen one-tenth of our Dasheng since I was born......

"No hurry, there's only one year left. Lu Qiming looked in the direction of Zhongwu.

"I—Can I really get in......" Song Ping'an whispered. She was embarrassed to talk about this dream before, for fear that people would laugh at her delusional thoughts.

"No problem at all. Lu Qiming patted her hand lightly, his eyes were affirmative.

Song Ping'an pursed his lips, and his heart was full of yearning.
