Chapter 125

"Obtain the Qi of Gu Changsheng, only then be a person of longevity; heaven and earth enter one's own body, and the Dao follows its natural course."

Is it very unfamiliar?

Never heard of it?

It's right that you haven't heard of it.

Because Li Rui made it up himself.

Self-created "Long Dachun Technique," although it was born from the White Ape Cloak Blade, every step after that had to be walked by himself.

It's very difficult.

But the benefits are also huge.

Completely compatible with himself, with almost no stagnation; although the speed of progress will slow down, every step taken is incomparably solid.

"Only by laying a good foundation can one go further."

He had heard Han Qin say.

Some genius disciples of the Huaqing Sect deliberately suppress their realm, tempering themselves to the extreme in every realm before breaking through to the next.

Every realm is like this.

There was a good example around him—Jiang Yan.

As the only daughter of Jiangjiang Linxian, this girl could be said to lack nothing in terms of techniques and spirit pills.

An Eighth-Rank at fifteen or sixteen.

Very stunning, but not to mention the young dragons of the world, even in the Huaqing Sect, there are not a few who enter the Eighth-Rank at this age.

Is Jiang Yan's talent too poor?

Or is she not working hard enough?

Neither.

It was Jiangjiang Linxian's deliberate doing; his requirements for Jiang Yan were not just a Seventh-Rank, or a Sixth-Rank, but higher.

Wanting to climb higher.

One must build a solid foundation.

It's the same principle as Li Rui building high-rise buildings in his previous life.

Self-realized technique.

The Profound Heaven Qi in his body also gradually changed with the operation of the technique; although weak, Li Rui could feel it.

The most intuitive manifestation.

Was that in the dantian, the dragon shape coiled around the chaotic round bead was more vivid than before, as if it were about to ride the wind and fly away.

Observe carefully.

One could also find that two black dots had appeared on the dragon's eyes.

"Painting a dragon and dotting the eyes."

"In ancient times, there was a good painter who, every time he painted a dragon, never painted the eyes, saying: 'Paint the dragon and dot the eyes, the divine dragon returns to its soul'!"

A pair of dragon eyes is the source of vitality.

The most important part.

Li Rui was looking forward to what kind of magical changes the true Qi nourished by the Long Dachun Technique would have.

He didn't know.

Perhaps no one in this world could know.

This is the drawback of self-created techniques; there are no fellow travelers to compare with, perhaps it will only be possible after the Long Dachun Technique is passed down to later generations.

After practicing.

The sky was just slightly bright.

Li Rui pushed open the door early and washed his face.

Suddenly.

A burst of firecracker sounds rang out in the distance.

He was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "The end of the year is approaching."

There are also rumors of the Nian beast in the Yu Kingdom, so firecrackers are used to deter the Nian beast. Now there is still some time before the end of the year, obviously some playful child lit the firecrackers early.

After the New Year, in a few months, he would be seventy-two.

But he was getting further and further away from his lifespan being exhausted.

An ordinary Seventh-Rank can live to one hundred and fifty; he practices the Long Dachun Technique, so his lifespan is estimated to be longer, reaching one hundred and seventy.

"Calculating this way, am I also a forty-year-old young man?"

Li Rui smiled faintly.

After sixty, he didn't like the New Year, because every year that passed, he was one step closer to death.

Now it didn't matter.

Is he not afraid of death?

No.

It's that he doesn't have to die for the time being, so he is still afraid of death.

"Old Li, come and eat dumplings."

Seeing Li Rui walk out of the room, Yang Yong greeted him happily.

Li Rui was stunned. He saw Yang Yong and Wang Zhao as if they had been injected with chicken blood, getting up early.

Although the two had developed the habit of getting up early when they were in the Zhu family, they had never gotten up this early.

While slurping noodles with green onions and three slices of meat.

Yang Yong said vaguely: "If you don't pay attention to the New Year, the whole year's luck won't turn."

"Don't worry about New Year's Day this year, Xiao Zhao and I will handle it."

He had fled from the north and only became a guard for the Zhu family after arriving in Qinghe, so he had always kept a habit, which was to eat dumplings for the New Year.

The Yu Kingdom calls the end of the year New Year's Day.

The calendar of the Yu Kingdom is determined by the Imperial Observatory.

It doesn't use the solar calendar, but a lunisolar calendar.

That is, twelve months in a common year, with six long months of thirty days each and six short months of twenty-nine days each, totaling three hundred and fifty-four days a year, and the first day of each year is New Year's Day.

=9+Book_Bar

So New Year's Day is what this world calls the Spring Festival.

Of course, New Year is also a commonly used term among the people.

Yang Yong is ten years younger than Li Rui, but his age is not small, and old people attach great importance to the New Year.

When in the Zhu family.

He often asked Li Rui to secretly use the money he had saved to improve their food, and at that time he also said: "New Year, New Year, of course, you have to get a good omen, otherwise the New Year has passed and you still look poor, even the God of Wealth will dislike you when he sees you, and you definitely won't have any financial luck."

Now he bought New Year goods early and had been busy for quite some time.

Li Rui smiled faintly: "As you wish."

After eating the noodles.

Li Rui went straight to the arsenal.

When he stepped through the door, he saw Liang He had already cleaned the arsenal early.

"Hall Master, morning!"

Liang He looked at Li Rui and greeted him with a smile.

Li Rui looked Liang He up and down: "About to break through?"

Liang He was startled.

He had originally wanted to break through quietly and give Li Rui a surprise, but didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.

A bit depressed: "Yes, Hall Master."

Although he came to the arsenal and became a soldier of the Anning Guard, he still liked to call Li Rui Hall Master, and Li Rui had no intention of correcting him.

Li Rui chuckled: "Since you are about to break through, take this Bone-Cultivating Pill and use it first."

Saying this.

He took a small jade bottle from his bosom and threw it to Liang He.

Liang He was stunned, hurriedly caught the small jade bottle, and felt a warmth in his heart: "Thank you, Hall Master."

The Bone-Cultivating Pill is a genuine Eighth-Rank spirit pill, worth a full five hundred taels of silver.

This is a great favor!

Seeing Liang He moved to tears, Li Rui scolded with a smile: "What a waste... you've called me Hall Master for so long, I can't let you call me that for nothing."

"I will definitely not let down the Hall Master's expectations!"

Liang He was about to be grateful.

Li Rui waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, friendship is friendship, one thing is one thing, the Bone-Cultivating Pill still needs to be returned."

"..."

Liang He blushed and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Hall Master, I will return it."

Li Rui then walked into the room leisurely.

Why not give Liang He a Bone-Cultivating Pill directly? Is it because he can't afford it?

Of course not.

With Li Rui's current wealth, giving away an Eighth-Rank spirit pill really doesn't count for much.

But giving it away for free often only harms a person.

Some things obtained too easily are not cherished, and later when they are short of money, it is inevitable to be anxious about gains and losses.

Being too obsessed with external objects will shake one's will.

Therefore, many big families also establish strict rules to prevent family members from losing their fighting spirit because it is too easy to obtain things.

If you want it, you must fight for it yourself.

Liang He is still young and needs to temper his mind more; he can't just think about sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor every day.

"This kind of thing is just right for an old man like me."

The corners of Li Rui's mouth rose slightly.

Just as he was about to open the "East China Dao Explanation" he hadn't finished reading yesterday, a familiar voice rang out outside the door:

"Senior Li, junior Han Qin has come to visit."
