Chapter 206: Taiji Changchun Gong

~15 min read 2,807 words

"Sister Sister Shao Yao, do you not want me to go to Yingxiang Mansion to celebrate Immortal Lao's birthday?"

After Cheng Libationer left, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu asked directly.

The Black Girl said lightly: "Sister Shao Yao not letting you go is for your own good."

"How so?"

Sister Shao Yao sighed: "First, you are still young, and there are many young boys and girls in Immortal Lao's mansion."

"Second, you practiced Xiong Long Gong and have achieved small success in internal power."

"Immortal Lao is not a big villain who kills without blinking, but he is definitely not a good person."

"Have you heard the rumors about 'Changchun Martial Arts Hall'?"

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said: "Men in Changchun Martial Arts Hall practice Xiong Long Gong, and women practice Fen Feng Gong."

"Once internal power is practiced, it may be recruited by Immortal Lao to supplement yin with yang, or supplement yang with yin."

Sister Shao Yao nodded gently, "Immortal Lao is good at the way of yin and yang harvesting and supplementing; almost every Changchun Martial Arts Hall disciple who has achieved success has been recruited into the mansion."

"Short for three or five days, long for three or five years..."

"Those who are harvested will not lose their lives, will not lose much vitality, and some disciples even have greatly increased power, are reluctant to leave Immortal Lao, and cry and shout that they don't want to leave the Immortal Mansion..."

"But this is ultimately not a good thing, especially for you."

"But unless the family is too poor, they won't send their children to Changchun Martial Arts Hall."

Tianmen Town doesn't have a Changchun Martial Arts Hall, not because Immortal Lao doesn't want to open a hall to teach disciples in Tianmen Town.

Tianmen Town is one of the most prosperous places for trade in the West.

Prosperous and safe, with City Gods, government office, divine catchers, city defense camps, and a group of reclusive Human Immortals...

Ordinary people either have money and can go to regular martial arts halls to learn skills, or simply be ordinary people; anyway, it is very safe in Tianmen Town, and they can live a peaceful and happy life without learning martial arts.

For example, Shopkeeper Hu and Aunt Zhang.

Shopkeeper Hu has a lot of wealth and needs to marry the daughter of a martial arts hall master to support the scene and suppress the house, but Aunt Hu has almost never fought with anyone. Living in the peaceful and auspicious Tianmen Town all year round, there is no chance to fight to the death with others.

Aunt Zhang is an ordinary commoner, her whole family doesn't know martial arts, and she has never participated in fighting and killing in her life.

If it were other regions of Shu Kingdom, ordinary people wouldn't be so free and easy.

For example, Hengsha Pass, almost every family practices martial arts.

The son of the medicine shopkeeper is destined to inherit the ancestral craft, and still spends a lot of money to temper his body from a young age.

"Does Immortal Lao think my sword is not sharp enough, and still dare to use force?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said.

The Black Girl sneered: "You called him 'Immortal,' and still treat him as an ordinary person?"

"Is he called 'Immortal' just because he lives long?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu asked.

According to the news she inquired from the neighbors in Tianmen Town, the reason why Immortal Lao is famous is really because he lives long.

She hasn't heard stories of him using immortal magic miraculous powers.

The Black Girl rolled her eyes, "Do you think living long is very easy? Living long is the biggest and hardest 'immortal magic miraculous power' to practice!"

"No matter who it is, as long as they can 'live long,' practicing other immortal magic strange arts will only be simpler."

"If it were you, you lived for three hundred and fifty years, would you be addicted to pleasure and have no enterprising spirit?"

"In fact, being able to live for a long time is already very difficult."

"Being able to live for a long time and still living for a long time itself shows that he is not simple."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu couldn't refute this.

Some people can live to a hundred years old, but don't have the chance to live a long life.

Immortal Lao lived for more than three hundred years, and is doing the shameful harvesting and supplementing business; he must have encountered many enemies, but he still lives well; either his own strength is strong enough, or his background is hard enough.

"What immortal magic miraculous powers does Immortal Lao know?"

"Don't know, I have never seen him fight with anyone. In previous years of birthday celebrations, he only used some illusions to amuse the guests," Sister Shao Yao said.

"Alright, I won't go to Yingxiang Mansion tomorrow. Well, I didn't know about Immortal Lao's birthday before, and I didn't plan to go originally," Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said indifferently.

Even if Immortal Lao is a true immortal, just because he harvests and supplements his own male and female disciples, she looks down on him.

Wishing such a person a happy birthday... unless he gives her huge benefits.

The Black Girl heard this and showed hesitation again.

She looked at Sister Shao Yao and said: "I'm not sure if Li Manman will go, but Princess Li Qianyue must go to the Immortal Mansion this year."

"The Princess will represent the monarch and send a birthday gift to Immortal Lao."

"So I estimate that many noble ladies of the Shudong family will also go."

"Immortal Lao has such a big face, even the monarch has to send a princess to celebrate his birthday!" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was surprised at first, then her expression was strange: "Li Manman went to the Immortal Mansion before, was she harvested and supplemented?"

The Black Girl was dumbfounded, "You are so bold, you dare to say anything. If this word spreads, even if you haven't reached the True Qi Realm, I estimate Li Manman will also carry a sword to Tianmen Town to fight you to the death."

"This isn't what you hinted to me!" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said.

"You also know her name is 'Li' Manman! As the foster daughter of the Qinghe Commandery Prince, she is just representing her foster father to celebrate Immortal Lao's birthday," Sister Shao Yao said with a complex expression.

After a pause, she added: "Immortal Lao is not 'Demon Head Lao'... at least he doesn't do things that make heaven angry and people resent in public."

"The Immortal Mansion is not a demon cave where you can't get out well if you enter!"

"If you hadn't practiced Xiong Long Gong, I wouldn't have said anything."

Sister Shao Yao herself had been to the Immortal Mansion many times and had always been fine.

But she only determined that Immortal Lao was not a lustful demon king, and couldn't guarantee that Immortal Lao could resist not taking action against the peerless Yu Fengxian.

The Black Girl also looked at Seeing Xiao Yu Yu and said: "My meaning is, the Princess and a group of noble ladies will go, Immortal Lao may not have the energy to pay attention to you."

"You are now famous in Western Shu, and many people are studying your martial arts routines behind your back."

"Everyone knows that you practiced Xiong Long Gong and 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills', and Immortal Lao also knows."

"He must have paid attention to you long ago, even if he has any thoughts, he won't specifically choose the day of the birthday celebration."

"So, it doesn't matter if you go tomorrow."

"However, the Immortal Mansion birthday banquet is not the Flat Peach Banquet; going to the Immortal Mansion won't make you a 'Yu Immortal'."

"If you don't go, it's not a loss to read at home."

"Are you going?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu asked.

The Black Girl's red eyebrows frowned, and she said: "I have no interest in Immortal Lao and his birthday banquet."

"But I currently have a virtual title of 'Middle Secretary' in the Princess Mansion, and I have to accompany Princess Li Qianyue."

She was not Sister Shao Yao's full-time Confucian teacher.

Being able to stay at Tianbao Residence for a few days was because she knew Li Qianyue's itinerary in advance and specifically asked for a few days off.

"Since Li Manman might go, I'll go and see too," Seeing Xiao Yu Yu looked at Sister Shao Yao and said.

Since it's a birthday banquet, it shouldn't be difficult to take the opportunity to worship a "father."

So she wasn't afraid of Immortal Lao—she didn't believe Immortal Lao was stronger than the "Divine Nun."

Moreover, the words of Sister Shao Yao and the Black Girl made her interested in Immortal Lao's cultivation method.

"Changchun True Qi" (complete version of Xiong Long Gong) not only allowed him to live for more than three hundred years, but also lived so comfortably, even the Qinghe Commandery Prince and the Shu King sent their closest relatives to celebrate his birthday...

Could it be that complete Changchun True Qi can make people become immortals?

At the beginning, Huchen let Song Changqing teach her the internal power chapter of "Xiong Long Gong," just to let her lay the foundation.

After coming to Tianmen Town, even though she was still in the Internal Qi Realm, she had long ago created the subsequent cultivation method herself.

After the Internal Qi Realm is the True Origin Realm.

After True Origin Realm Great Completion, an "Qi Elixir" (Origin Elixir) is formed, and the Immortal Martial Dao has almost reached the end (Human Immortal).

The Human Immortal's Origin Elixir is a dead elixir and cannot break through further.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu certainly didn't want to have "no bright future."

"Taiji Golden Book" upper volume practiced step by step, can directly practice True Origin, but lacks the most critical content of forming an elixir.

"Taiji Golden Book" is not Immortal Martial, it didn't call it "True Origin Realm," it was just from the effect—human body small universe, heaven and earth big universe, connected by "qi" between small universe and big universe, forming an internal and external great cycle of 'qi'—like the True Origin Realm of Immortal Martial.

The "Taiji Golden Book" is not Immortal Martial; it didn't call it the "True Origin Realm," it just described the effect—the human body is a small universe, heaven and earth are a large universe, and the small universe and large universe are connected by "Qi," forming an internal and external great cycle of 'Qi'—just like the True Origin Realm of Immortal Martial.

According to Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's understanding, the cultivation realm displayed in the first volume of the "Taiji Golden Book" can be summarized as Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit.

Refining Essence into Qi: Directly through refining Qi, let ordinary people create a great cycle of "Qi" with heaven and earth, refining the spiritual essence of heaven and earth into their own Qi.

Refining Qi into Spirit: Use "Qi" to strengthen the physique and soul, first purifying the soul to the Utmost Yin Realm, then giving birth to a point of Pure Yang from the Utmost Yin.

If the soul is Pure Yang, then one is a "Pure Yang True Immortal."

Her "Pure Yang Sword Qi" was cultivated this way.

Li Dan probably didn't lie to her; the "Taiji Golden Book" is truly an ancient immortal technique.

Alas, it has two fatal flaws: First, it is incomplete; not only does she only have the first volume in her hand, it is very incomplete.

She estimates that the "Complete Volume of the Taiji Golden Book" in the hands of the Prince of Qinghe is also a bit incomplete.

This incompleteness is not that some originally possessed content was lost.

Rather, as a Qi refining technique, it was originally very simple.

The Qi refiner who created it was very low.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu certainly doesn't have the qualifications to look down on immortals, but she has the "Divine Nun Mother Killing Method (30% completion)," "Qingsong Daoist Boy Killing Method (5%)," and "Chi Jiuluo Killing Method (20%)."

These methods of killing immortals are clearly more advanced than the "Taiji Golden Book": certain elements required by the immortal-killing methods are not possessed by the Taiji Golden Book; putting all the elements possessed by the Taiji Golden Book into the Purple Mansion cannot immediately make the immortal-killing methods complete.

If it were just a bit simple, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu could accept it.

After all, she just wants to eat her fill first, and when she becomes successful in the future, she will consider eating well.

But the "Taiji Golden Book" has a second fatal flaw: the difficulty is too high.

Entering the examination room and scoring 680 points to get into Tsinghua or Peking University is very difficult.

Running 100 laps around the city first, then standing on the side of the main road in a daze for three days and nights, then sitting on a bench without eating or drinking for ten days, and finally entering the examination room at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, resting to the best state, and scoring 520 to get into a first-tier university—this difficulty is even higher.

It's not that the difficulty of scoring 520 is higher; it's that the previous "useless work" unrelated to the exam cannot be persisted in.

The "Taiji Golden Book" is just like this.

Its difficulty is mostly unnecessary—this is the result Seeing Xiao Yu Yu deduced by comparing the immortal-killing methods (ps).

She has cultivated the "Taiji Golden Book."

The Taiji Golden Book does not have the five major elements of Immortal Martial, only Refining Qi and Refining Spirit.

Let's not talk about Refining Qi for now, just talk about the method of Refining Spirit to purify the soul.

According to the "Divine General Ge Qing Killing Method" deduced by the Purple Mansion, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu purified the turbid Fengshen Bang evil energy to the "Utmost Yin" realm, and then gave birth to a point of Pure Yang from the Pure Yin.

She succeeded, and the Pure Yang evil energy was practiced.

But her own soul, according to the Taiji Golden Book's method of Refining Spirit, using Qi to nourish the spirit, had no progress at all.

Let alone Pure Yang or Pure Yin, it didn't even "purify" a tiny bit.

It was as if a mayfly was shaking a tree; the mayfly persisted with effort for more than a month, and the big tree didn't change at all.

Both incomplete and low, and also extremely difficult to practice.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu can only treat it as a general outline (the direction of becoming an immortal), using the Xiong Long Gong (Changchun True Qi) as a foundation to deduce a new cultivation method—"Taiji Changchun Gong."

If she can get the "Changchun True Qi" of the Laboring Immortal, it will be of huge benefit to deducing the "Taiji Changchun Gong."

Even if she can't get the fundamental method of the Laboring Immortal, as long as she lets him trigger the Great Father-Destroying, the "Taiji Changchun Gong" can also take a big step forward.

It's not just the Laboring Immortal.

If even Li Qianyue and Li Xianzhi go to celebrate the Laboring Immortal's birthday, then what level and what strength should the other guests be?

If she can catch them all in one net... Seeing Xiao Yu Yu is looking forward to tomorrow's birthday celebration.

(ps: Seeing Xiao Yu Yu doesn't know that it wasn't that the person who wrote the "Taiji Golden Book" deliberately made some useless "difficult points," nor was the immortal who wrote the Taiji Golden Book too low—he was a bit low, just a loose immortal, but not low enough to make a bunch of inexplicable difficulties in the secret manual.

In a word, the "Taiji Golden Book" has expired.

This is also one of the settings of this book; it's not that the older the secret manual, the more powerful it is, nor is it the other way around, the older it is, the more useless it is.

Specific situations should be analyzed specifically; it cannot be generalized.

If it records the secrets of the creation of the world, the older it is, the more powerful it is.

Certain miraculous powers and techniques deliberately hidden by saints are also closer to the origin the older they are.

If it's just a method of immortal cultivation and Qi refining imitating the heaven and earth universe, then the older it is, the more useless it is, because the universe is changing!)
