There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 4
  It is the fifth day of April in the 6th year of Baoyuan in Daxia.

The weather in Yongshan County has turned hot. Su Dun, who had slept soundly in the morning, was woken up as usual, but the way of waking up was much gentler than before.

"It's almost dawn, senior brother!" Wang Kang's tone was a little anxious when he saw Su Dun turning over and going to sleep again.

"I know." Su Dun had a brief inner debate, and finally chose to compromise. He stood up reluctantly and wiped the sweat from his forehead with some irritability. He didn't even put on a coat, so he put on a gray-white vest and got up. By the time he put on his straw sandals, Wang Kang had already gone out.

When Su Dun walked slowly to the kitchen, the stove had been lit, and Wang Kang was pouring water into the pot. The two of them were not as detailed as Wang Ping in their work. The morning boiling water and the water for steaming the steamed buns were boiled in one pot.

When Wang Kangsheng got the water, he went to make noodles. Su Dun rinsed his face with cold water and sat in front of the stove, watching the fire.

The steamed buns came out of the pan half an hour later. Wang Kang skillfully put the four steamed buns into a lunch box made of bamboo slices, and also put a small plate of pickles in it.

Seeing this, Su Dun came over, picked up a steamed bun and bit it in his mouth, grabbed another steamed bun in his hand, picked up the lunch box with the other hand and ran out. He ran across the wide yard and followed a path towards the back mountain. Go, run to the small yard next to an old locust tree in the back hill and stop when the morning sun rises.

The small courtyard is a bit dilapidated. The courtyard wall is a low fence that surrounds two rooms. On a tattered straw mat in front of the stone table in the small courtyard, Wang Ping is meditating in the morning glow. There is a layer of bluish-purple light on the surface of his body. nice.

Next to the stone table sat Master Yucheng. He was slowly sipping tea, and chicken soup was simmering on a small stove next to him.

Su Dun twitched his nose and smelled the aroma of chicken soup. He gently opened the door and walked in. He stood at the door and saluted Taoist Yucheng. Then he stepped forward and put the lunch box on the stone table. He glanced at the chicken soup simmering on the stove. , and then looked at Wang Ping, who was meditating and practicing Qigong.

Wang Ping is practicing the "Guiyuan Jue" newly taught to him by Taoist Yucheng. It is a set of exercises for moving the internal energy, which is divided into Qi training chapter, marrow cleansing chapter and foundation building chapter.

Qi training is to master the newly formed Qi in the body, marrow cleansing is to use the trained Qi to regulate the impurities in the body, and foundation building is to lay a solid foundation for practicing the real secret method. That’s right, Wang Ping has not yet practiced the secret method and used jade to become a Taoist. In other words, the foundation is not solid enough, and his body still needs at least ten years of polishing.

Under the reflection of the morning glow, Wang Ping successfully circulated the Qi in his body for five great weeks and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the light screen panel in front of him:

[Guiyuan Jue (Qi Training Chapter): An excellent method for practicing qi. Based on your core strength, before each practice, you should do a set of Changchun Gong to create a sense of qi, and then run it for five days, five years. It can be consummated. If someone helps you send a little bit of spiritual energy before each exercise, it can be consummated in three years. (Progress 6/100, today’s progress 5/5)]

In less than a month, the total progress of Wang Ping's set of exercises has reached [-]%. This is because he not only has a trace of spiritual energy transmitted by Taoist Yucheng before each practice, but also has the assistance of elixirs every five days. , according to this progress, Wang Ping will be able to complete the Qi Lian chapter within a year and a half.

"Yes, not bad." When Wang Ping finished his work, Taoist Yucheng showed a smile on his face.

"You have a smart mind, and you have the meditation and patience to practice Taoism. You have never made any mistakes in your Qi training in the past month, and your mood has not fluctuated at all. Not bad, not bad." He said 'not bad' two more times, and then commented : "In less than two years, you will be able to complete Qi training."

Wang Ping quickly bowed and said, "Thanks to Master's help, otherwise my Qi training process would have taken at least five years or as long as eight years."

Taoist Yucheng smiled, brought the casserole with chicken soup to the middle of the stone table, and said, "Come over and have something to eat."

Su Dun had already left. Wang Ping sat over and picked up a steamed bun and took a bite eagerly. Taoist Yucheng took out a porcelain bowl and served Wang Ping the soup himself. When he swallowed the chicken soup, a warm current spread in his stomach, and Wang Ping felt that his hunger was satisfied as long as he could eat a cow!
  There are spiritual energy fluctuations in the chicken soup. Wang Ping is currently unable to absorb too much energy to practice qi. He can only replenish it through the body's metabolism. Eating ordinary food will increase the turbid qi in the body, which will greatly hinder the next step of marrow cleansing. , this chicken soup is specially cooked by Taoist Yucheng, and it is a pot every day.

It took Wang Ping a quarter of an hour to finish breakfast. Taoist Yucheng warned him as before: "Don't practice Qi any more today. Don't read "Comments on Heaven and Man" for the time being. If you have nothing to do, read more of the books in my room. , reading more can increase your ideological structure, allow you to understand the truth, and also improve your understanding."

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Ping also agreed seriously as usual.

The day after Taoist Yucheng accepted him into the door, he told him that the prerequisites for cultivating Taoism and cultivating secret methods are the basic bones and understanding. After entering the Taoism, the later stage of cultivation relies on chance. The word "chance" sounds very vague and falls apart. In reality, it is your connections, financial strength and brains.

Taoist Yucheng collected a wide variety of books, including Taoism, Buddhism, history, and humanism. Humanity is similar to the Confucianism of Wang Ping's previous life and was used to educate the world. In addition, there are some novels, folk stories, etc.

When Wang Ping was about to read a history book, Taoist Yucheng had already walked out of the courtyard quickly, took out a spell in his hand, and flashed back to his residence in the front hall.

He will be very busy today.

In tomorrow's apprenticeship ceremony, Wang Ping is the protagonist, but there are also some supporting roles.

If you accept Wang Ping as your direct disciple, you will have to work hard for Wang Ping's future cultivation, firstly for the inheritance of the Taoism, and secondly for his thoughts.

When most people in the world are in despair, they always hope to see hope in the next generation!
  Recruiting disciples and expanding Qianmu Temple is to prepare for the most important of the three things: understanding, ability, and opportunity. Understanding and ability can determine the lower limit of a person's practice, while opportunity is the upper limit of practice.

Only with huge financial resources and connections can you be qualified to obtain opportunities. In this process, you will definitely be contaminated with earthly cause and effect, which is the so-called reluctance and contradiction.

But a cultivator is tainted with cause and effect from the moment he decides to practice, and it cannot be avoided by simply cultivating.

After Taoist Yucheng stabilized his body, he took out his Taoist robe and put it on, and then pinched the spell with his hands. The old Taoist robe on his body became as new as a flash of green light.

Today, the magistrate of Shang'an Prefecture will come to visit in person, and will also send twelve smart boys. They are all direct bloodlines of various families in Shang'an Prefecture, and they are all around ten years old.

There were also Li Antian, Liu Zixiu and Mao Yulong. When they learned that Taoist Yucheng wanted to recruit many disciples, they all selected some smart people from their own clansmen.

Taoist Yucheng wants to select some good-natured seedlings from these people before today and put them into the door wall. If they are not selected, if they are willing, they can choose to practice some basic skills as outer disciples, and maybe one day they will be enlightened. , you can also embark on the path of spiritual practice.
