Inside the Qingping Palace.
By the time Zhang Yao finished his meal and finished his work, and returned to the small courtyard of his dormitory, the night was already dark.
"Herbal mastery has increased a bit? Not bad."
He looked at the panel and found an unexpected surprise.
He is proficient in this skill of herbal medicine, which includes a series of processes such as identification, picking and processing, which is also of great help to him.
"call……"
He spread his legs apart, adjusted his breathing, and took advantage of the energy in his body to start practicing Taiyi Zhuang Gong again.
If he takes the initiative to promote the talent of energy transformation, his digestion capacity will be far beyond that of ordinary people, and his appetite will be large. Fortunately, Qingping Palace does not lack his rice, so he is not disliked by others.
This exercise lasted for half an hour. After Zhang Yao felt that his strength was running low, he slowly stopped and adjusted his breathing.
"Junior Brother Qingxu, you are really hardworking."
An older Taoist boy came out of the dormitory. Seeing him practicing Zhuang Kung Fu in the courtyard, he smiled and said:
"But this Taiyi Zhuang Kung Fu is useless after you practice it to the end."
"It's a pity that we are not from Shangqing Pavilion and cannot learn the secret martial arts in the palace."
Hearing this, Zhang Yao didn't take it seriously and said:
"If you can't learn, you can't learn."
"If you practice this Taiyi Zhuan Kung Fu, you can live an extra ten or twenty years at least. It's worth it."
In the Qingping Palace, there is a real secret Taoist mystical skill, which is said to be astonishingly powerful, but the requirements for talent are very strict.
This group of Taoist boys were all brought to the mountain when they were about ten years old. They were basically orphans with innocent wealth, and their talents had been tested by the palace master himself.
Among the dozen or so Taoist boys, there was only one young Taoist named "Qingzhuo" who had excellent qualifications. He was admitted to the Shangqing Pavilion, the first of the three pavilions and four halls, and stayed with the palace master to teach him personally.
Zhang Yao has also thought about stealing lessons, but unless a God-given opportunity comes, he will never act rashly and would rather practice Taiyi Zhuang Kung slowly.
"You're right, you're right."
The older Taoist boy laughed aloud and didn't want to talk anymore. He went to the latrine to put out the water and then went back to the house to sleep.
Zhang Yao also returned to his dormitory, found his own bedding nest in the corner of Datong Shop, quickly took off his clothes, got in, and soon fell asleep.
…………
Three days flew by.
That night, Zhang Yao was still practicing Taiyi Zhuang Gong hard. After the practice was completed, he noticed something strange in his body.
"Could it be..."
A suspicion emerged in his mind and he quickly called out the panel.
Name: Zhang Yao
Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence
Skills: Mastery of medicinal materials (38%), Taiyi Zhuang Gong (30%)
Zhang Yao was filled with surprise and said secretly:
"After practicing hard for so long, I finally succeeded in this Taiyi Zhuang Kung Fu."
The progress of martial arts in this world is relatively rough. After getting started, there are only three stages: small success, great success, and perfection.
According to Zhang Yao's comparison and guess, the panel proficiency corresponding to the Xiaocheng stage should be around 30%. The special feeling in his body now clearly confirms his guess.
"With a small amount of success, it's a new level."
Zhang Yao's face was filled with irrepressible joy.
According to his master Guanlu Zhenren, even if the realm of Zhuang Gong is broken through, there will not be an immediate transformation or immediate qualitative change.
But when the realm is reached, the limbs, tendons, flesh and bones will all be slightly and subtly affected by this, and there will definitely be changes.
"Next, let's see how amazing the martial arts in this world are."
Zhang Yao went back to his room to sleep contentedly, finally looking forward to the rest of his life.
Soon, his curiosity was answered:
For half a month, he discovered that his body had gradually undergone new and all-round changes.
Firstly, his strength grew extremely fast, and he soon became as good as an adult, and his muscles and bones became stronger. Secondly, his hearing and vision became sharper, his senses were sharper, and even his memory seemed to have improved to a certain extent.
"This Taiyi Zhuang Gong is indeed very miraculous."
"If you practice to a great extent, or even reach the state of perfection, your body's physical strength and various senses should be able to exceed the limits of the human body."
Zhang Yao felt a little regretful when he thought of this.
Even Taiyi Zhuang Gong, which focuses on health preservation, has such an effect. So how powerful is the Taoist Xuan Gong secretly taught in Qingping Palace?
It's a pity that the basic qualifications of this body are just the appearance of a middle-aged man, and cannot enter the palace master's eyes. Under normal circumstances, he will never be exposed to that mysterious skill in his life.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, I have plenty of time."
Zhang Yao's mood soon returned to calm.
"Life is pretty good right now. There is no need for greed to cause troubles and setbacks."
…………
A peaceful life always passes very quickly.
More than two months passed, Zhang Yao worked diligently as a Danding boy, picking and preparing medicinal materials every day, practicing Taiyi Zhuang Gong when he had time, and completely integrated into the Qingping Palace.
have to say:
Being able to intuitively digitize the progress of Taiyi Zhuang Gong is an invisible incentive in itself.
The reason why Zhang Yao's Taiyi Zhuang Kung Fu can progress so quickly is mainly due to his talent, and secondarily due to his attribute panel.
Name: Zhang Yao
Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence
Skills: Mastery of medicinal materials (41%), Taiyi Zhuang Gong (43%)
"not bad."
In the forest, Zhang Yao looked at the data on the panel and nodded with satisfaction.
Most of the skills are easy to get started and difficult to master. The deeper the progress of Taiyi Zhuang Gong, the more difficult it is to further improve.
But Zhang Yao found that as his practice of Zhuang Gong deepened and his muscles and bones strengthened, the total amount of energy seemed to have increased a lot, and his talent for transforming energy had also strengthened.
Although this slowed down his training progress slightly, it was not obvious.
"It's time to go."
Zhang Yao put on his backpack again and set foot on the mountain road back to Qingping Palace.
Compared to three months ago, his legs and feet are obviously lighter and more flexible. Although he still has no fighting skills, at least he can escape much faster when encountering danger.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yao returned to the Danding Hall and was about to put down his backpack to eat when he saw Master Guanlu suddenly say:
"Qingxu, you stay first."
"Yes, Master."
Zhang Yao was startled for a moment, then responded quickly and stood there obediently waiting.
"Um……"
Master Guanlu thought about it for a moment and said:
"Today, a junior fellow from the Hongfa Hall came over and asked me for two Taoist boys to accompany me down the mountain to perform rituals."
"This is a rare and beautiful job. I care about you and Qingyu. I will go to the Hongfa Hall tomorrow to help you."
"ah?"
Zhang Yao was a little surprised when he heard this and subconsciously said:
"The Hongfa Hall is actually short of people, so it comes to our Alchemy Hall to ask for help?"
Among the four halls, the Hongfa Hall is responsible for praying for lay people and meritorious deities outside the palace, as well as exorcising evil spirits and killing ghosts. It is the most noble and well-paid among the four halls.
However, on normal days, there are not many opportunities to go down the mountain to do things. There is always a lot of competition inside the Hongfa Hall. Now there is actually a shortage of people?
"Yes, Hongfa Hall is short of manpower."
Master Guanlu nodded and briefly explained:
"Recently, there have been rumors of hauntings in several villages and towns at the foot of the mountain, which has made the people in the countryside panic."
"This time, several big businesses nearby took the lead, raised money, and came to us one after another to invite us to perform rituals, open a dojo, pray for blessings, eliminate disasters, and suppress evil ghosts."
"Several rituals were held at the same time, so the Hongfa Hall was completely empty of people. As a last resort, I came to my Alchemy Cauldron Hall to try to hold one up temporarily."
Zhang Yao suddenly felt enlightened, but he was also a little uneasy and couldn't help but said:
"Master... there aren't really ghosts in this world, are there?"
He originally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but since he has traveled to a new world, it's hard to tell.
If the mountain was really haunted, he would never take the risk and would rather hide on the mountain until the mountain calmed down.
"..."
Master Guanlu was quite speechless:
"I think you've always been smart and smart, so why did you act stupid today?"
"If there really were ghosts in the world, the people in Hongfa Hall would have died long ago. The Taiyi Zhuang Kung Fu we practice cannot deal with ghosts!"
"Master, forgive me, I was stupid."
Zhang Yao laughed twice and asked curiously:
"Then why did Master choose me and Junior Brother Qingyu?"
Master Guanlu looked at him and said seriously:
"Of all the Taoist boys in the palace, you are the best when it comes to appearance, followed by Qing Yu."
"Only if you two go forward, you won't lose the face of my Alchemy Palace, and you won't shame my Qingping Palace when you come down the mountain."
"……I see."
Zhang Yao nodded and said righteously:
"Then I will definitely share Master's worries and go to the Hongfa Hall early tomorrow morning."
