Chapter 5 Rapid progress, turning point of fate
  Just by exploring on his own, he was able to go so far in martial arts and Taoism. The talent displayed by Li Ping'an left the old Taoist priest speechless for a moment.

Finally, he forced himself to calm down his overwhelming heart, looked at Li Ping'an and said seriously: "You are very talented in cultivation, but unfortunately I am not an excellent teacher..."

Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "Master..."

Taoist Tongxuan ignored him and simply said, "Stop talking nonsense. Your master and I know how much we weigh. Keep practicing. Although your talent determines that you can climb to places that ordinary people cannot climb." We have reached the top, but if we lack perseverance and hard work, our efforts will still be in vain!”

After Taoist Tongxuan left, senior brother Cheng Yang also came back to his senses.

Looking at Li Ping'an, Cheng Yang's eyes shone and he couldn't wait to ask: "You brat, the exercises and formulas that master usually teaches are so obscure and difficult to understand. They sound like listening to heavenly books. How did you learn them? Hurry and teach me, Senior Brother!"

Li Pingan pretended to cough when he heard this.

Cheng Yang had some confusion on his face, but he came to his senses after a moment, and quickly changed his face to a smile and said: "My junior brother is very talented, please teach this incompetent senior brother of yours!"

Li Ping'an shook his head and said: "This set of exercises is not suitable for you to practice, senior brother. How can I teach it? If you want to make rapid progress in martial arts, senior brother should learn the way of killing!"

Hearing him repeat his previous argument again, Cheng Yang's expression changed. If it was before, he would naturally sneer at Li Ping'an's words.

After all, Li Ping'an, a little kid who doesn't understand anything, has no convincing words at all.

But now, Li Ping'an's talent not only shocked Taoist Tongxuan, but also shocked Cheng Yang. When he said this again, the weight seemed particularly heavy.

Cheng Yang pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have been practicing with my master since I was a child. What I practice is not to do any evil, what I practice is to practice all kinds of good deeds, what I practice is to purify myself and my mind, so that my body is pure, my mouth is pure, and my mind is pure. I agree...Now that I am twenty-two, how can I change my family again?"

As he said that, he seemed a little relieved, and smiled again: "That's all, that's all, since we are destined to have no connection with Taoism, it's good to be a farmer in the mountains. Junior brother, I will leave the master's mantle to you in the future!"

Looking at the slightly depressed Cheng Yang, Li Pingan opened his mouth, but could not say anything to comfort him.

Although the talent of understanding is ridiculously strong, it is not completely cost-free. Every time he uses his talent, he needs to consume a lot of mental energy from Li Ping'an.

With Li Ping'an's current physical condition, he could only hold on for a few seconds at most.

Even the art of nourishing life took him piecemeal and learned for several months before he fully understood it...

From that day on, Cheng Yang seemed to have accepted his fate.

Although he still gets up every morning to practice martial arts and Taoism, he is still as energetic as before. He often just does a rough exercise and then goes to work in the fields with a hoe.

Taoist Tongxuan noticed this scene, but there was nothing he could do about it.

In order to be able to learn the art of nourishing one's life, Cheng Yang studied hard every day, regardless of the weather or the weather. He worked hard for nearly twenty years, but still failed to achieve anything.

But it only took Li Ping'an less than a year, and he easily mastered what he had failed to master after so many years of hard study just by relying on self-study.

The blow to him can be imagined.

……

... 0 ...

Time passed without looking back. When he was five years old, Li Pingan found that his reincarnation score had increased again.

Not much, but inspiring enough.

At the same time, Taoist Tongxuan began to formally teach Li Pingan.

Not only will all the money be spent to teach Taoism, but also the medical skills mastered by Taoist Tongxuan, the daily experience of doing weddings and weddings for villagers and wealthy households, etc... The knowledge is very complicated. Compared with the orthodox Taoist magic, There are more messy and miscellaneous students inside.

Maybe, as Tongxuan Taoist said, he was just an ordinary Taoist priest who was not good at studying and was driven down the mountain. The Taoism he learned was limited, and most of what he could teach was just some skills to support his family.

Li Ping'an didn't have any objections to this.

Although the Taoist's skills are not as powerful as expected, he has absolutely no reservations about Li Ping'an and Cheng Yang. Now he is working hard to teach these side skills just so that they can have more self-protection skills.

After all, practicing Taoism in Jianghu may not necessarily make a person full of food, but having a craft can. After so many years of getting along with him, the old Taoist priest is more like a hard-working father than a master.

Every day before dawn, Li Ping'an would get up and go with Taoist Tongxuan for medical consultation.

Occasionally, I will help with weddings and funerals.

Because of his young age, but quite mature behavior, and because he is very handsome, it didn't take long for him to gain a reputation as a "young man" in the surrounding villages and towns of Fengcheng County, attracting many farmers and wealthy households. Everyone was full of praise for Li Pingan, and some even wanted to marry their daughters to Li Pingan.

Taoist Tongxuan was very proud of his proud disciple.

At the same time, as he grew older, Li Ping'an made rapid progress in Taoist practice. At the age of five, he had completely learned all the Taoist skills. In many aspects, he was better than his master in many aspects, even better than Taoist Tongxuan himself. Even more powerful.

Of course, he hid his clumsiness and did not show it in many aspects.

Otherwise, it is not good to act too outrageous, as it can easily lead to trouble.

……

In the year 2334 of the Daqian calendar, Li Pingan was six years old.

In April of the same year, there was a great epidemic in Chizhou. Every village with a hundred people was gone, and the land thousands of miles away was desolate.

At the beginning, the plague only caused serious harm in a few neighboring counties. However, due to the corruption of the court and the incompetence of the officials, it was impossible to control the raging plague. Therefore, it did not take long for the plague to spread to Fengcheng County.

In just two months, countless people in Fengcheng County fell ill.

People infected with the disease have skin ulcers and high fevers that persist.

A weak person will not be able to survive for seven days before he or she dies of bleeding and pain from the orifices, while a strong person will not be able to survive for at most half a month before dying of organ failure.

For a time, people were devastated and mourning was everywhere.

Li Ping'an followed the Taoist around to treat people, and witnessed this extremely miserable scene. He felt as if his chest had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and he was so depressed that he could not speak.

Even he, let alone the Taoist, was like this. He couldn't sleep almost all night long.

But even though he rummaged through the medical books in his hands and tried all the relevant prescriptions, he still could not find a solution to the plague. He could only watch the miserable people dying in front of him.

Li Ping'an also couldn't bear to face such a scene.

He locked himself up in a Taoist temple all night long and read medical books, combining some of his modern knowledge on epidemic prevention with a flash of inspiration brought about by his heaven-defying understanding...

Finally, after several failures, he finally found a solution to the plague.
