Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 21 The Theory of Vitality

Xu Ji smiled and scolded: "You are like a loach. I just mastered this movement technique last night, Yueying."

Hearing this, Zhong Longhu couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are really changing every day. The night before yesterday, you mastered the wind blade technique to the proficient level, and last night you mastered this slippery body technique."

Xu Ji smiled and said: "I have been practicing Yueying for two years. My dad happened to come back last night to help me train, and I was lucky enough to get started."

Zhong Longhu was a little envious: "Tsk, with this body technique, I can't even touch you when I'm in close combat with you."

"It seems that this boy Awen will steal the chicken but lose the rice this time." Zhong Longhu suddenly thought of the bet between He Wen and Xu Ji, and couldn't help but feel a little gloating.

Xu Ji smiled: "Do you want to fight or not?"

Zhong Longhu waved his hand and said angrily: "What the hell, I don't have a drop of spiritual energy left, and I can't even touch you."

"The gap between me and you is too big now. I'll come back to you when I break through the fourth level of Qi training."

Xu Ji smiled and said: "Then you have to hurry up, otherwise I might break through the fifth level of Qi training first."

Zhong Longhu laughed and cursed and left to recover his spiritual energy in the breathing room.

Xu Ji felt that there was still about two-thirds of the spiritual energy left in his body, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After mastering Yueying, sparring with Longhu was a complete waste of time. He couldn't even touch me. How could I improve my actual combat experience when sparring with him?
  "It seems that now we need to find monks who are at least the fifth level of Qi training to learn from each other in order to effectively improve our actual combat experience." Xu Ji thought in his mind.

A monk at the fifth level of Qi training has more spiritual energy than himself. It is naturally not easy to use up the opponent's spiritual energy simply by relying on the moon shadow. He must use the moon shadow to avoid the opponent's attack and find opportunities to attack the opponent in order to win.

Once you are able to attack skillfully while using Moon Shadow, you may be able to try to challenge a monk at the sixth level of Qi training.

As for the advanced stage of Qi training, it is not comparable to what I am now. The nearly ten times difference in spiritual energy can consume me to death.

"But monks at the fifth level of Qi training, do they need to find a personal trainer?" Xu Ji thought in his mind, "Or you can try to find a few more to see how Yueying performs when surrounded by many people."

While the training ground reserved by Zhong Longhu was not over yet, Xu Ji continued to practice Yueying for a while, and occasionally practiced a few split-blade techniques. He did not leave until his spiritual energy was exhausted and went to the inhalation room to restore his spiritual energy.

After recovering the spiritual energy, it was normal to attend classes in the afternoon and practice in the training room before school.

"I hope the function of all living things will give me some surprises."

After practicing, feeling the swelling of the meridians in his body, Xu Ji sighed slightly.

The proficiency panel is very strong, but my body limits its effectiveness. Even if you add a medicinal bath for a day, you can only practice for an hour to gain 6 points of experience in the Ten Thousand Dao Techniques.

Now I can only hope that the functions of all living things that my father said this morning will surprise me.

After leaving the training room, Xu Ji said hello to Zhong Longhu and rushed home impatiently. Seeing Xu Ji coming back excitedly, Xu Wuwei smiled and said: "I have redeemed your qualification for practicing the Art of All Forms of Life today. If you are ready, come to the training ground."

Xu Ji hurriedly said: "Dad, I'm ready, let's start directly."

Seeing this, Xu Wuwei said no more and took Xu Ji to the underground training ground.

"The Art of All Things in Life is a special skill from the sect period. Its original form was just a secular health-preserving skill that was taught to apprentices in a drug shop."

"And an apprentice who learned this health-preserving technique in the medicine shop had spiritual roots and accidentally embarked on the road of cultivating immortality. After he embarked on the road of cultivating immortality, he did not give up the health-preserving technique he had practiced since childhood. It is to continuously improve and deduce it, and finally change it into a physical training method."

"Then, after being passed down from generation to generation and perfected from generation to generation, this skill has become what it is today."

Xu Ji was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the predecessor of the Art of All Forms of Life was just a body-building technique in the world. But is a body-training technique adapted from a health-preserving technique really useful for monks?
  Seeming to see the suspicion in Xu Ji's eyes, Xu Wuwei explained: "Don't underestimate the art of the Ten Thousand Forms of Creatures. This art has experienced the turmoil in the mysterious world and has not been lost. It has been passed down for thousands of years. Naturally, it has its own uniqueness. The entire I am afraid that more than 50% of the monks in the Immortal Alliance have minored in this technique."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ji was completely shocked. How many monks are there in the entire Immortal Alliance? Fifty percent of them can actually practice this technique!

Is there something special about this technique that can improve vitality?
  Xu Wuwei smiled: "Since its predecessor is a health-preserving technique, the effect of the Vientiane Life Technique is somewhat similar, providing strong vitality."

"Dad, what is the specific function of this vitality?" Xu Ji couldn't help but ask. Even though he had some guesses, he was not sure whether his guesses were correct, and still wanted to have a more systematic understanding.

"The role of vitality..." Xu Wuwei thought for a moment, "You can think of vitality as a special energy in your body that maintains your own life."

"When the vitality is exhausted, a person will die. Every time he is injured, he will consume some vitality to recover from the injury. The more serious the injury, the more vitality will be consumed to recover from the injury. And if the injury is too many times or the injury is too severe, it will be depleted. Too much vitality will affect your lifespan.”

"The best time for a Qi practitioner to break through and build a foundation is before the age of forty. This is because Qi and blood are most vigorous before the age of forty. Why is Qi and blood so strong before the age of forty? It is because less vitality is lost before the age of forty. .”

"And if you practice the Vientiane Life Skill and have strong vitality, the best time to break through the foundation building will be postponed to before the age of forty-five, or even before the age of fifty."

"Dad, if that's the case, wouldn't it mean that practicing the Vientiane Art of Living Beings can extend your life span?" Xu Ji interrupted unexpectedly.

Xu Wuwei nodded and said: "Yes, the life span of practicing Qi is 100, the life of foundation building is 200, and the life span of golden elixir is 500. These are just a general life span, and the specific life span of each person is also different. Some foundation building can live for 220 years. And some can only live 180 years, and the difference is the difference in vitality."

Xu Ji understood: "No wonder so many people practice the Vientiane Life Skill. Having stronger vitality can not only extend life, but also extend the optimal breakthrough time and increase the possibility of breakthrough."

Xu Wuwei smiled and said: "However, practicing the Wanxiang Skill of Living Beings is not easy. If you didn't have a clear mind and see your nature, I would not recommend you to practice the Wanxiang Skill of Living Beings now."

Having said that, Xu Wuwei looked at Xu Ji with a strange look. Today he had already found out that his son's biggest change recently was that he had cut off contact with the little girl from Sikong's family.

Is it really true that I was dumped and that I could see my true nature?
