The technique chosen by Lu Changan is called "The Evergreen Kung Fu of Ancient Trees".
This is the second life.
He obtained the ancient health-preserving skills from the cave of Yuanying great monk "Yandonglai".
At that time, he was four to five hundred years old. He almost lost his life in a battle with others in the cave.
The only gain is half a volume of "The Everlasting Green Technique of Ancient Trees", which can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.
The characteristics of "Everlasting Green Gong of Ancient Trees" are to cultivate one's sentiments, prolong life and maintain a long Qi pulse.
The disadvantage is that as a health-preserving skill, its power is mediocre and its cultivation speed is slow.
In the third life, choose this skill.
Lu Changan only values one thing, and that is extending his life!
"The "Evergreen Ancient Tree Kung Fu" must be practiced from the Qi refining period and used as the main practice in order to increase longevity. If you switch to another practice midway, it will have no effect on longevity!"
"The life-extending effect is half as long as that of monks of the same level in each realm."
"During the Qi refining period, one can extend one's life by fifty or sixty years."
"In the foundation-building period, life will be extended for one hundred and twenty years."
"During the elixir formation period, life will be extended by three hundred years."
A monk in the normal Qi refining period only has a lifespan of one hundred and twenty years.
The foundation period was two hundred and forty years.
During the elixir formation period, the life expectancy is as high as five to six hundred years.
In other words, as long as Lu Changan returns to the core formation stage of his previous life in this life, he will have a lifespan of nine hundred years!
If we get some life-extending treasures, it is not impossible to live for a thousand years.
Lu Changan didn't believe it. He had lived nearly a thousand years in this life and acted steadily and steadily, but he still couldn't advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
After experiencing two reincarnations, he deeply understood the significance of longevity to immortal cultivators.
In the world of immortality, the real winner is the one who survives to the end.
Monks who are seriously injured in martial arts fights, including the use of some secret techniques, often affect their longevity and foundation.
In the second life, Lu Changan wants to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but due to the limitation of his lifespan, he must compete for various opportunities and experience life-and-death battles, and his foundation will inevitably be damaged.
This also affected his later impact on the Nascent Soul stage and his eventual demise in the catastrophe.
"In my second life, I don't have much life left. I major in fire-based exercises, and my spiritual roots are also biased toward fire. It's not suitable for me to switch to the wood-based "Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique."
"In this life, I have a middle-grade spiritual root, and I am highly sensitive to the spiritual energy of fire, wood, and metal. I just started to practice the "Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique" during the Qi Refining Period, increasing my lifespan layer by layer."
The qualifications of cultivators are divided into:
Inferior spiritual roots, low-grade spiritual roots, medium-grade spiritual roots, high-grade spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots, and heavenly spiritual roots.
In addition, there are innate treasure bodies outside the independent spiritual root system. For example, the thunder spirit body, the green lotus body, the dragon roar body, etc.
The innate treasure body is so rare that Lu Changan doesn't know much about it.
The grades of the spiritual root system are divided according to the sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Normal monks have all five elements.
The grade of a spiritual root mainly depends on the attribute of the spiritual energy with the strongest sensitivity.
Sensitivity is ten, the minimum standard for low-grade spiritual roots.
Sensitivity is twenty, the minimum standard for middle-grade spiritual roots.
Lu Changan's sensitivity to fire spiritual energy was just over 20, which reached the minimum standard for middle-grade spiritual roots.
The second is wood spiritual energy, with a sensitivity of seventeen.
Golden aura, sensitivity level fifteen.
As for the water and earth spiritual energy, the sensitivity is less than ten, which is not good quality. This means that it will be more difficult to practice spells with these two types of attributes in the future.
…
That night, Lu Changan held the spiritual sand in his hand and began to practice the "Eternal Tree Skill".
On the way, a month passed by in a blink of an eye.
The last grain of spiritual sand in Lu Changan's hand turned into powder.
"The first level of the "Eternal Green Technique of Ancient Trees"!"
Lu Changan moved the magic power as thin as a gossamer in his body and felt an evergreen aura.
As soon as he got started, he felt that the power of Evergreen Gong was endless.
The Qi pulse is long and the endurance is strong!
This alone makes up for the mediocre shortcomings of the ancient health-preserving skills.
When monks of the same level fight, magic weapons and supernatural powers are the most important.
Continuous mana can support magic weapons and magical powers for a longer period of time. Even if it means running away, there are still many advantages.
"However, the cultivation speed of the Ancient Tree Evergreen Technique is slower than expected, and it is not even as good as the Kaiyuan Sutra."
Lu Changan feels this shortcoming most obvious.
Of course, there are also hidden surprises in "The Evergreen Gong of Ancient Trees".
That’s the Qi-concentrating effect!
When this technique is used to restrain the breath, the whole person seems to turn into a piece of rotten wood, making it impossible to see the true cultivation level.
Many wood-type exercises have a Qi-concentrating effect, but they are far less effective than the "Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique".
"Yes, this fits my philosophy of low-key cultivation and steady management in this life."
Lu Changan nodded secretly.
Once you choose this skill, don't always think about fighting for opportunities in the future.
Avoid fighting!
In this life, he will steadily enter the Nascent Soul stage and discover the true secret of the [Nine-Seal Monument].
…
The spiritual sand in Lu Changan's hand was completely consumed.
Before arriving at Mu's house, I was too lazy to practice any more.
In a worldly and poor place, the cultivation effect is too poor, not to mention that the "Eternal Green Technique of Ancient Trees" has a slow progression.
There are still two months left on the road.
Lu Changan doesn't practice immortality, so he simply picks up secular martial arts and practices.
In Lu Changan's first life, as a casual cultivator, he spent some time in the secular world. He killed several innate martial arts masters and collected some top martial arts secrets.
He has a deep memory that secular martial arts masters are a threat to monks in the Qi refining stage. If we take it lightly, a monk in the Qi refining stage may overturn.
In this life, at the beginning of the first level of Qi refining, my magic power was too weak, and I had no weapons or talismans to protect myself.
The power of the "Everlasting Green Technique of Ancient Trees" is mediocre and cannot be counted on.
There is a serious lack of means to protect the road.
The rest of the journey.
Lu Changan took time out to practice martial arts, just thinking about more self-defense methods.
This practice was quite a surprise!
Secular martial arts requires very little spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Lu Changan was originally a second-rate master and a martial arts wizard.
The support from the [Nine Seal Monument] made his soul far superior to that of ordinary people. The strength of his consciousness at the first level of Qi Refining was close to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
With a powerful soul and a commanding position as a cultivator, martial arts practice can be said to be rapid.
Less than two months.
Lu Changan's martial arts cultivation level went from second-rate to first-rate, then to super first-rate, and finally he was promoted to innate martial arts!
At this time, Lu Changan had just turned eighteen.
"The eighteen-year-old martial arts master is enough to shock the world of martial arts."
Lu Changan felt the innate true energy filling his body and his reborn strong body.
Of course, compared to the magical power of immortal cultivators, martial arts true energy is much inferior.
…
"Cheer up! There's still half a day to get to the Mu's residence."
On the official road, Master Mu's spirit horse led the way, followed by a dozen horses following behind.
After two or three months of long journey, the Linggen teenagers were physically and mentally exhausted.
Only Lu Changan, who practices the "Evergreen Ancient Tree Technique", has strong energy and strong recovery power.
During this period, there was still time to practice martial arts.
The head of the family, Mu Maode, saw Lu Changan's martial arts training and didn't say anything.
Lu Changan is a martial artist, and martial arts training fits his personality.
As for whether it would delay the cultivation of immortality, Patriarch Mu didn't even care.
He didn't really want to train Lu Changan and others, he only cared about how much spiritual blood they could bring to the family.
It’s okay for Lu Changan to be “not doing his job properly”.
When the road to immortality is hopeless, it is easier to stay in the Mu family and put in more energy in the future.
…
"Here we are! Feiyue Lake!"
A few days later, several Mu family monks became energetic.
Lu Changan and others looked into the distance. Under the faint moonlight, the outline of a lake glowed like jade.
"That is the water resource of Spirit Lake controlled by the Mu family. It is said that it can produce spirit fish..."
The breeze blew against their faces, and everyone felt a touch of moisture.
The spiritual energy of the surrounding world is far beyond the spiritual poverty of the world.
Feiyue Lake is not far away.
It was already close to the Mu family's territory.
Everyone in the Mu family, who had been vigilant all the way, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This mission of escorting the fairy seedlings was finally completed.
Just when everyone feels relaxed.
Boohoo——
A harsh whistling sound sounded, and hot breath rushed towards his face.
Boom boom boom!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of lantern-sized flames hit the Mu family's team escorting Xian Miao head-on.
"Enemy attack!"
The face of the Mu family leader changed drastically and he shouted angrily.
Except for the spirit colt under him, the other horses were so frightened that their legs were weak and they were neighing or running away in fear.
For a time, people were on their backs and dust was flying.
"Protect the fairy seedlings!"
Amidst the angry shouts, Patriarch Mu and the four family monks used their own methods.
Water curtain, golden light shield, earth wall technique, magic weapon umbrella... try your best to protect ten fairy seedlings.
However, there were dozens of flames, and they could not provide airtight protection.
"ah……"
Screams were heard, and a bookish young man was hit by a flame as big as a lantern, and his body burned.
Soon his body was charred and he stopped struggling.
The remaining nine teenagers shuddered and hid in embarrassment.
The physiques of the immortal cultivators were better than those of ordinary people, but several people were still injured.
"Oh my god! The world of immortality is so scary..."
Li Ergou looked pale and almost peed in fear.
He was pulled by Lu Changan's arm and stretched seven or eight meters on the ground to avoid the explosion range of a fireball.
Lu Changan has strong spiritual perception and martial arts skills, so he is relatively calm.
"Hahaha...Mu Maude! Want to bring back this batch of fairy seedlings? You must get the consent of my Zheng family!"
From the hills on the left, seven monks flew out, holding various magic weapons in their hands.
The leader, a dark-skinned man, had a red flame sword at his feet. There was a centipede-like scar on his cheek, which almost spread to his neck, adding to the ferociousness.
The mana fluctuations in this person seem to have reached the ninth level of Qi refining!
"Brother Zheng! Zheng Centipede!"
Several monks from the Mu family couldn't help but lose their voices.
