Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 17 The Breath Conditioning Technique

There are no impervious walls in the world.

It was only in the afternoon, and the truth about the demon cultivator's invasion had already spread throughout the Qingliu Market.

It was Moxiu who got the news that the law enforcement team was out, and then launched this raid overnight. Without losing a single person, he successfully looted most of the shops in Qingliuxu.

It is said that when this matter got to Qingyang Sect, the master of Qingyang Sect was furious, and he had already set a deadline to wipe out that group of demon cultivators.

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with Lu Zhong, a small casual cultivator on the second floor of Qi Refining.

Even though Qingliu Market was in great trouble, life still had to be passed.

On the street again, the corpses on the road have been cleaned up and removed, only blood remains at the corners.

In front of some dilapidated shops on both sides of the street, mortal coolies were unloading the wood, bricks and stones from the bullock carts, and there were special stewards directing them, who seemed to be preparing to repair the damaged shops.

But more shops are quiet and there is no movement.

When Moxiu robbed Qingliu Ruins, his attacks were extremely vicious.

It is said that those who dared to obstruct them at that time were all madly retaliated by Moxiu.In addition, the shops in Qingliu Market are all open to the side of the street, and there is a courtyard behind it for people to live in. Therefore, a large number of shops have been wiped out from top to bottom, so that even the people who inherited these shops cannot be found.

What makes people feel weird is that when Lu Zhong walked to the end of the street, he found that there were already a large number of stalls set up here.

Different from the gloomy and sad streets, this place is extremely lively and noisy, and everyone's faces are filled with smiles, as if the Lantern Festival is coming early.

There are a variety of goods on the stalls.

There are everything from talismans to spell books, from vestments to precious instruments.

And the stall owner who owns them is selling them hard at the moment and enthusiastically attracting customers.

At this time, Lu Zhong noticed with sharp eyes that the spell books on some booths were obviously from the Shufa Pavilion, and there were two of them that he had only seen yesterday, and the folds on the pages were exactly the same as he remembered.

A chill ran up his spine, and he didn't dare to guess how many people who died last night were really killed by the devil.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhong stopped thinking about those things.

His eyes wandered from booth to booth, looking for something he was interested in.

Such an opportunity is extremely rare to come across, and it is a good time to pick up the leak.

……

"This breath holding technique is not a secret technique. The pages of the book are rotten and torn, and there are traces of insect bites everywhere... No way, how dare you bid for a spirit stone for such a rotten spell book?"

Lu Zhong squatted in front of a stall, rolling up his sleeves and bargaining with the stall owner.

"Ah, really..."

The stall owner was a simple-faced strong man, his face turned red when he saw the spell book so rotten, he hesitated for a long time before he said: "If you don't do this, fellow Daoist, I'll give you an extra half-knife talisman paper, okay?"

"No, I need to add ten more!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The burly man scratched his head, and randomly grabbed a handful of talisman papers from the booth, the quantity was only a few more.

Along with the breath-holding technique, he handed the talisman paper in his hand to Lu Zhong.

After receiving the spell book, Lu Zhong was extremely excited, but with a disgusted expression on his face, he was still muttering: "I'm the only one who is poor, otherwise I would never have bought it from you."

Hearing this, the strong man looked even more embarrassed, and quickly stuffed two more talisman papers.

At this time, Lu Zhong accepted it as soon as he saw it, and stuffed a spirit stone into the opponent's hand.

Walking to an unoccupied corner on the side of the street, the smile on his face has disappeared.

He took out the stack of talisman papers he had just obtained, and after careful inspection, he pulled out three blood-stained talisman papers and threw them in the gutter next to them like garbage.

Next, Lu Zhong continued to stroll around for a while.

Different from the past, the things on the stall today are all broken bones, and the prices are unbelievably cheap.Even the expensive magical artifacts that used to start at three digits are now being sold at stalls, and the price is as low as [-] to [-] spirit stones. As for those semi-finished embryos, they are even cheaper.

Seeing the embryos of magic weapons on the stall, Lu Zhong couldn't help but want to buy them.

"Calm down, calm down." He took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

I don't have many spirit stones on me, so it's not cost-effective to buy these magic weapon embryos.

Considering that after the turmoil in Qingliu Market, a large number of shops either closed down or closed permanently, it will take some time before normal order can be restored here, and it might affect the making and selling of talismans, which is his only source of income.

To be on the safe side, it is very necessary to keep five spirit stones to pay the rent.

After all, for now, Qingliu Ruins is still his safest shelter.

Lu Zhong couldn't imagine what would happen to him when he was driven to the wilderness.

I'm afraid it wasn't so, the evil cultivator wiped his neck that night?
Tightening his purse tightly, he decided to give up his plan to buy, and went back to his hut to continue nesting.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help feeling rejoicing.

"Fortunately, I bought enough Lingmi yesterday, otherwise I might not even be able to eat at this time."

……

After returning from the street, Lu Zhong closed the door of the house.

Seeing that the light in the room was dim, he also lit the candles.

By candlelight, I started to read the spell book I just got.

"The technique of restraining breath can restrain one's own breath, making it difficult to detect..."

Like the qi-watching technique, the breath-holding technique is also a must-learn spell for monks.

Its function is very simple, it is to restrain one's own breath through a special method, whether it is for the purpose of hiding one's strength, or to hide in the dark and launch a sneak attack, one cannot do without the help of the breath restraint technique.

Especially when taking risks in the wilderness, in order to avoid those powerful monsters, breath suppression is even more essential.

The breath-holding technique that Lu Zhong bought is a rare large book of spells.

The so-called big book is relative to the small book.

Booklet spells are like qi-watching spells, and their grades are accurately divided.

The Breath Containment Technique is different, it is classified as a first-order spell, and it is not divided into which rank in detail.

After reading it carefully, Lu Zhong found that it is not easy to learn this breath-holding technique.

If you want to cast it, you must recite twelve mantras accurately, and the mobilization of spiritual power spreads all over your body.There are several sets of handprints for assisting spellcasting, and it is very troublesome to memorize them, let alone form them skillfully.

"It's so difficult, but I still have to learn."

Lu Zhong didn't want to turn himself into a cold corpse. Before his strength was not enough to deal with the threat, it became very necessary to learn a spell that could restrain his breath.

If you can't beat it, you can only stand up and develop.

"Kowu... 咵!"

"嚒, isn't it supposed to be "嚜", or should I make the sound of "嚰?"

He began to practice the pronunciation of incantations, which is the basis for mastering a spell.

If the sound is not correct, the technique will fail.

A mistake in mobilizing spiritual power does not necessarily lead to the failure of casting a spell, it may just greatly reduce the effect of the spell.

But if the incantation is mispronounced, the casting will definitely fail.
