For more than 20 days, in the high mountains north of Shanju County and south of Tubo, Zhao Qing walked alone on the mountain road with a rainbow light sword and a crape myrtle soft sword with a good scabbard.

These days, her mastery of "Taiyin True Water" has finally returned to the level before the breakthrough, and will advance in a more subtle direction under the comprehension of "the unity of heaven and man".

At the same time, Zhao Qing also tried to refine the golden qi contained in the crape myrtle soft sword, but due to the excessive sharpness on the surface of the sword body and the strange energy, it has not been successful.

According to her estimates, it may be necessary to take a step or two further in the purity of the "Taiyin True Water" to reach the realm of the Ultimate Yin Taiji Perfection, and only after it is close to the strange energy in terms of quality can it break through its barrier.

Otherwise, although he could rely on the accumulation of "Taiyin True Water" to forcibly break through the edge of the strange energy, most of them would destroy the entire Ziwei Soft Sword along with it, which would really outweigh the losses.

When leaving the Valley of Despair, Zhao Qing engraved his swordsmanship theory in the valley where the cold water pool leads, just like Dugu seeking defeat.

After that, she headed towards the general direction of the "Ageless Changchun Valley", and when she passed through Dali, she asked the locals for some Naxi language and inquired about the more accurate location of the "Ageless Changchun Valley".

In the rumors of the neighboring areas, the "Immortal Changchun Valley" is surrounded by deep forests and high peaks, making it difficult for outsiders to enter the valley. The people there lived to be more than 100 years old, and the centenarians were all black-haired and red-faced, like teenagers and girls.

Occasionally, someone in the valley would pull the long vine from the big pine tree and swing out of the valley, but after coming out, there was no way back.

The person who came out had a white face and red lips, and was very young and beautiful, but after living outside the valley for a few days, his black hair turned snow-white, his back was hunched, and his face was full of wrinkles, and within a few days he seemed to be a hundred years old, and in a few days he would die.

Therefore, the people outside said that there were youkai in the valley, and no one dared to enter it.

In Zhao Qing's opinion, after the people in the valley come out, they will die of old age in a few days, most likely because they have left the environment in the valley and can no longer drink Changchun spring water, so they have returned to the physiological functions that match their age, and have nothing to do with the so-called monsters.

Even if there are really monsters, due to the limitations of the world, they are at best only large reckless clams and ice silkworms, and they lack intelligence, so they will never have any amazing strength.

Two hundred years ago, Xiaoyaozi's martial arts at that time were only at the level of "refining gods", but he was able to take away the "divine book" from the immortal Changchun Valley, which shows that even though there is danger in the valley, the threat is average.

As the road became more and more steep, Zhao Qing climbed the mountains and crossed the deep streams, and in the evening of this day, he finally arrived at the edge of the Immortal Changchun Valley.

But I saw that there was an abyss in front of me that was not known for hundreds of zhang, and a cliff rose up in the distance, the dangerous peaks stood upright, and the strange rocks were phosphorus, straight into the sky, and the momentum was like a dragon raising its head, and the momentum was extraordinary.

On the crevices of the cliffs, there are tall ancient pines, and the trees are entwined with emerald green vines, some of which hang down from the edge of the cliff, with a length of forty or fifty zhang, densely packed, covering the entrance of an inconspicuous valley on the cliff wall.

Looking at the cliffs and ancient pines on the opposite side, Zhao Qing's heart moved, knowing that he had found the entrance to the Immortal Changchun Valley.

No wonder you can't go back after saying out of the valley, there is an abyss twenty or thirty zhang wide as an obstacle, and it is just a matter of swinging out by the vines, if you want to return to the valley, you are afraid that you can only do it with the light skills of the top masters.

Of course, for Zhao Qing, this insurmountable barrier in the eyes of ordinary people can be easily passed.

With a single leap, she crossed the abyss, grabbed the long vines hanging from the trees, and swayed straight into the valley entrance, catching a glimpse of the bones of a large number of animals piled up on the edge of the cliff.

The animals died suddenly before they could leave the valley completely, so the bones were piled up on the edge of the cliff?

Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his vigilance a little, and used the aura fused into the "Taiyin True Water" to twist the air into a semi-stealthy state, and continued to walk towards the valley.

Passed through the entrance of the immortal Changchun Valley, only to see the front of the eyes is full of stretching dense forests, look at the mountain, the cliffs stretch out like a screen, the caves are everywhere, there are flying springs from time to time, flow through the craggy and strange stones, support the sparse forests, bloom like brocade, and the cold winter of the outside world is very different, like spring.

Empty mountains and secluded springs, melodious water sounds, listen to the sound of the water waterfall silver bottle cracking, the mountain wind passes, the trees rustle, mixed with the insects and birds full of spring, just like the fairyland on earth.

After walking a few more miles, she finally saw the first figure in the valley, a young girl dressed in Naxi costume, dressed in a bright and bright cloth robe with wide sleeves, singing Naxi songs, picking some kind of fresh fruit by the bushes by the stream.

Farther away, on the flat, empty meadows, along a clear stream, dotted with wooden houses, about twenty or thirty families.

It was evening, and in the open space in the middle of the many wooden houses, a bonfire had been lit, on which a large pot of food had been set up, and dozens of young men and women were dancing around the fire.

A little farther out, a dozen men and women dressed like elders, but equally young-looking, looked at their children with a smile and talked about today's trivial and interesting things.

To Zhao Qing's surprise, in her induction, each of the forty or fifty people in this settlement was carrying the first-class, even overwhelming true qi internal force in the rivers and lakes outside, and when added together, it was much stronger than the Shaolin Temple, which was known as the largest sect in the world.

Relying on the Naxi language that he had just learned, Zhao Qing was a little surprised to learn from the chatter of these people with similar but not identical accents to the Naxi people outside, that this was only a small settlement in the Immortal Changchun Valley, and the total number of people was less than one-twentieth of the population of the valley.

If there are really thousands of first-class players, they can completely defeat hundreds of thousands of troops, which is also a bit outrageous.

Moreover, after Zhao Qing approached, in a more detailed induction, the internal force in these people's bodies was quite similar to the internal strength of the Xiaoyao Sect, although it was a little rough when it was running, but the true qi was full of vitality, and most of them had the effect of prolonging life.

Could it be that everyone has practiced the weakened version of the "Heaven and Earth Immortality Changchun Gong", and they have all achieved something?

However, when he witnessed a young man struggling to carry a cauldron of two hundred catties, Zhao Qing immediately changed his original opinion, judging that although these people had internal strength, they could not use it correctly at all, and could only exert half of the effect.

The efficiency of using such internal force is undoubtedly ridiculously low: you must know that even if there is no method of exerting internal force at all, just by virtue of the strength bonus of the normal circulation of true qi outside the body, it can generally use three or four percent of the effect.

In such a situation, the internal strength of no less than the first-class good hand can basically only play the level of the fourth- or fifth-rate mediocre hand, if there is no matching move, it is only equivalent to a strong man.

As far as Zhao Qing knows, there are examples of martial arts where you can't show much skill if you don't learn external skills, and there are basically only the Loose Sect.

In the original work, after Xuzhu was passed on by Wuyazi, because he had never learned the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School, the internal force that could be used was less than one percent; It wasn't until later, after he was instructed by Grandma Tong for a period of time, that the true qi of the Northern Darkness had three or four percent of the heat.

And these Naxi people of the Immortal Changchun Valley have even more extreme efficiency in their internal strength, which can be said to be quite a bit of a continuous connection.

Using spiritual suggestion, several of the elders ignored the characteristics of their outsiders, Zhao Qing asked them some relevant questions, and found that these people didn't know what internal strength was at all, and they didn't know anything about the acupoint meridians, just like after living in the valley for a long time, they naturally gave birth to deep internal strength.

At the same time, she also inquired about some news related to the "Changchun Spring" in the valley, and learned that the "Changchun Spring" that can keep people young after drinking is located in the depths of the Immortal Changchun Valley, and there are valley owners and several elders living here on the side.

In addition to the most precious spring in the depths of the valley, most of the other streams in the valley are connected to the underground flow of the "Changchun Spring", which also has some weakening effect.

However, if you want to live more than 100 years old and still look like a boy or girl, you have to go and drink the spring water of "Changchun Spring" every few days.

……

And the valley lord and elders? In other words, if you rely on some kind of "immortal Changchun Gong" to prolong your life, the people in the valley should not die of old age soon when they go to the outside world, right?

Zhao Qing thought in his heart, and walked nearly ten miles into the valley along the road by the stream, passing through four or five settlements similar to before, and came to the core area of the Immortal Changchun Valley.

I saw that there is a low peak of about 30 zhang high here, and there is a wide and narrow water pool of seven or eight zhang at the top of the peak, which is clear and deep, and ten zhang away from the water's edge, there are five or six stone houses with exquisite appearance.

There is a gap at the edge of the pool, and the clear spring water that is as cold as fairy dew pours down from the rocks on this high place, and falls into the other two sinking pools that fall step by step, showing the posture of a first-step waterfall, and the water mist is filled, which is extremely beautiful.

Knowing that this is the rumored "Changchun Spring" that can keep people young for a long time, the biggest mystery of the Immortal Changchun Valley, Zhao Qing took some clear spring water and carefully explored it.

I found that although it contains vitality, it is a good natural treasure, but it is far from the point where the drinker can give birth to deep internal strength and prolong life and beauty.

What's going on here? Could it be that the longevity of the people of the valley is also related to their own constitution?

Holding the doubts in her heart, although Zhao Qing had some suspicions that there was any danger in it, perhaps it would bind the life of the drinker to the range of the Immortal Changchun Valley and make it impossible to get out of the valley, but with the ability to decompose it into the essence of heaven and earth at any time, she still decided to try some of it herself.

Experiencing the spring water that tasted like fairy dew elixir, and carefully sensing the situation after drinking the spring water, Zhao Qing thought about it, emptied his spirit, let the true qi in his body flow naturally, and quietly waited for the changes in his body to appear.

After a while, she gradually sensed that her true qi seemed to be affected by bursts of invisible fluctuations, and there was a faint resonance between them, and there was a tendency to slowly change the direction of circulation.

Can it really allow people to run their true qi on their own and gradually generate internal force? How is this done?

Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, and silently wrote down the situation of the change in the flow of true qi in his body, so as to deduce the matching exercises, after drinking a lot of spring water and spending half a day, he finally launched a corresponding "Immortal Changchun Gong".

After trying to run the internal force according to the route of this "Immortal Changchun Gong" for a while, she gradually sensed that the true qi in her body was more and more affected by the invisible fluctuations, and the resonance was no longer imperceptible.

As the resonance of the true qi became stronger and stronger, as if breaking a boundary, Zhao Qing simulated the true qi of the immortal Changchun Gong in small amounts, and circulated and exchanged it with the essence qi of the outside world in all directions, as if connected to a huge network of vitality energy.

In her sense of "the unity of heaven and man", there seemed to be small worlds and bridges of vitality between heaven and earth, forming a huge spiritual energy cycle, connecting her with other people in the valley.

After carefully sensing and confirming this, Zhao Qing's heart suddenly shook, and finally discovered some of the mysteries.

The spring water of the Immortal Changchun Spring is not the real source of the longevity of the people in the valley, or rather, it is just an introduction to make them live longer.

What can really play a role in prolonging life and rejuvenating the face, as I guessed before, is indeed relying on the effect of "immortal Changchun Gong" to run on its own.

But the reason why their internal force is quite deep is because Changchun Spring plays the role of an introduction, coupled with the abnormality of the Immortal Changchun Valley itself, connecting and fusing the aura of everyone in the valley;

It made the spirit of the inhabitants of the thousands of valleys resonate, thus forming a super-large aura with the Changchun Spring in the depths of the valley as the core, covering a radius of more than ten miles, and stimulating the people in the aura to absorb the essence of heaven and earth on their own, although they did not deliberately cultivate, it was many times faster than the rate at which normal people accumulated internal force.

This kind of incomparably special situation, which does not know how to form, makes the true qi internal force of the inhabitants of the valley form a unified whole, which is difficult to separate from each other.

The real "Immortal Changchun Gong" is actually a group exercise composed of thousands of people in the valley as the basic unit of divine power, and only when it is shrouded in a huge aura, it has an amazing effect on prolonging life and rejuvenating the face.

】

Once the people in the valley leave the Immortal Changchun Valley, they will be like a giant who has lost a small piece of skin and flesh, no longer connected to the human body, and has lost the source of nutrition, and will soon lose its vitality, become rotten, and turn into a pile of white bones.

Similar to the people in the valley, some animals living in the valley should also have a very small amount of "immortal Changchun Gong" internal force;

However, due to the lack of spiritual intelligence, the meridians are weaker than those of people, and their cultivation is almost nothing, and when they reach the limit of their lifespan, as soon as they come out of the range of aura, they will immediately die of old age, and the time they can support is far inferior to that of humans.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qing was a little suspicious, the reason why Xiaoyaozi finally practiced a divine skill similar to the realm was probably part of the inspiration from the strange situation of the Immortal Changchun Valley.

And just as she temporarily stopped the simulation of the "Immortal Changchun Gong" and was about to go to other locations in the valley to explore this group magic skill, two girls walked out of a stone house on the edge of the waterhole, looked in the direction of Zhao Qing, and greeted:

"This foreign guest, our valley lord is invited."
