Chapter 320: Identity Transformation, One Step to Heaven!
"Internal Breathing Technique"
Wan Zhiqi frowned deeply, even looking a little confused.
Of course he knew about the internal breathing technique.
But it is precisely because I know this that it seems even more incredible.
Isn't that thing used to cultivate the body and mind? It's not even worthy of the words "strengthen the body". If you want to strengthen your body, isn't it better to practice martial arts?
Although the art of inner breath has always been circulated among the people, no one has ever achieved any real results in practicing it.
Even martial arts have masters who can be the pillars of a country, so what about internal breathing techniques?
Moreover, the inner breathing technique actually has another name, the health-preserving technique.
Most of them are practiced by doctors who don't follow the martial arts path. It is said that practicing to the extreme can delay aging, but no matter how much you delay , you can't live longer than a martial arts master! For various reasons, although the internal breathing technique is widely spread, it has never been well-known.
But now, if what Kong Zhai said is true, the effectiveness of the inner breath technique is probably far beyond the expectations of ordinary people, and even cannot be matched by the immortal technique!
"How long have you been practicing your inner breathing technique?"
After thinking about it, Wan Zhiqi asked.
"I have been practicing since I was young, nearly seventy years ago."
Gu Dan smiled slightly and answered very straightforwardly, which was really very frank.
"Then when did you master the art of breathing and be able to use the immortal way's 'Rong Sheng Fa' to perform magic?" Wan Zhiqi stared at Gu Dan without blinking and asked again.
"After suffering a serious injury, I could not make any further progress in martial arts, and my path to immortality had to stagnate, so I had no choice but to delve into the inner breath technique that I had practiced since childhood. It happened that I was chatting with Ning Yuan that day, and I was inspired by something, and I made a breakthrough in the inner breath technique."
It is even simpler to say it is Gu Dan.
Don’t ask, the answer is that I just broke through.
"Really?"
Wan Zhiqi's eyes were shining with intelligence, and he actually wanted to peek at Gu Dan's cultivation level. However, the blood, qi, and fascia of the grandmaster were all independent and he could not peek at all.
Unless one forcibly captures Gu Dan and uses spiritual power to see inside his body, no one else can spy on a grandmaster at will.
He originally thought that he was injured and his energy and blood might be depleted, but he didn't expect that he could still be so strong.
"The inner breathing technique actually has such a miraculous use?"
Qian Qiancheng was also scratching his head, completely confused.
Gu Dan was too frank, which made them less confident.
It would be fine if the other party didn't say it, but since he has said it, there should be no more lies.
After all, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the internal breathing technique is everywhere, but for people of certain status, it is a very easy thing to find.
The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is how long it takes to practice the inner breathing technique to achieve the effect that Gu Dan has achieved now? If a deadline is set, Gu Dan will say 50,000 years.
Of course, there is no need to demand to reach the level of Qingmuye being comparable to natural spiritual roots or even extraordinary spiritual roots. If you just want to make the internal breath technique somewhat useful, practicing for a hundred years will be enough.
But the Qingmu Liquid at that time was probably of very limited effect on the spiritual plants, and the quantity was scarce, so it was extremely difficult to add icing on the cake.
Only after five hundred years can it be considered useful, and it is barely an extra to make up for the grandmaster's flesh and blood.
And two thousand years ago, it was considered outstanding and had extraordinary effects.
Fifty thousand years is even more amazing, man-made spiritual roots and special spiritual roots!
How can this effect not be powerful? !
The only problem is, people can't live that long.
The lifespan of a Grand Master is 120 years, that of a Qi practitioner is 150 years, that of a Foundation Builder is 300 years, and that of a Golden Elixir is 500 years. This is a matter of certainty, but it does not mean that they will definitely live that long. Rather, it means that at the limit of the lifespan at that realm, being able to live that long is a lifespan that can theoretically be expected to be achieved.
If you really want to live for 50,000 years, what's the point of practicing Qi and building a foundation? Even the Golden Core and Nascent Soul are just a toy in your hand. Why don't you do something else with this time? Why don't you practice the Inner Breath Technique? If Gu Dan didn't have a more convenient way, he would have given up the Inner Breath Technique long ago.
What Gu Dan has criticized about the Inner Breath Technique for a long time is not its effect, but the time cost behind it!
Therefore, Gu Dan was not worried about exposing the effectiveness of the inner breath technique. He even wished that someone would practice with him and dig deeper into the inner breath technique. If you have a longevity, come and let's try it together! If it really comes down to life span, Gu Dan has never been afraid of anyone.
"It will take 70 years to achieve results? This..."
Wan Zhiqi frowned.
Even if it is seventy years, the time cost is very high, equivalent to most of the master's life.
If today's masters do not advance to the stage of building a foundation in the immortal way, they will never be able to master it until they die.
However, if the inner breath technique is really as useful as Kong Zhai said, it would be absolutely worthwhile to spend seventy years to practice it! However, now in the entire Ningfang, or even in the six immortal squares, I am afraid that there is no other cultivator who has practiced the inner breath technique for such a long time.
If everyone starts practicing from scratch, Gu Dan will have no competitors within seventy years.
As for seventy years later?
Putting aside the question of how strong he would be, even if seventy years had really passed and there was no effect like what he said today, if someone came to him, Gu Dan would naturally have something to say.
People can't be generalized. If I can do it, why can't you? As a person, you might as well reflect on yourself more! There are many warriors who are stuck in the interaction of the five elements when practicing the internal organs. Why can't they be promoted to grandmasters? There is no need for a reason. If they can't succeed, they can't succeed!
Aren’t there enough things like this?
It's not that the inner breath technique is not bad. Do you know what a gifted person is? Gu Dan doesn't need to explain anything. If he has the ability, let others explain how the inner breath technique came about first, and then talk about progress after clarifying the context.
Anyway, Gu Dan now firmly believes that this thing is not for people to learn. Even for the immortal species, it is probably quite hopeless.
It is for this reason that the inner breath technique is what he can bring out, allowing him to be "one step ahead of others" and stand out, enough for him to squeeze into the upper echelons of the Immortal House without any effort! This is called a temporarily irreplaceable technical talent, which is hard on the neck of the Immortal House.
"How many times can you perform that method in a short period of time?"
Wan Zhiqi asked with some anticipation.
"It takes time to recover from the internal breathing technique. The fastest time is probably once a month."
Gu Dan said casually.
Once a month, that's twelve times a year.
It can double the yield of the twelve spiritual plants! This is enough to attract Lingzhentang.
"Once a month. OK, OK."
Wan Zhiqi nodded, not disappointed. If he could perform such a miraculous internal breathing technique every day, it would be amazing. But once a month was already beyond his expectations.
Nowadays, most of the rare treasures cultivated in the Immortal House are limited in quantity. If, seventy years later, a large number of people can master this special skill, I am afraid that the most outstanding of the four arts of cultivating immortals, alchemy, will also come onto the stage!
What's more, if this method can be used on medicinal materials that can break through the foundation, then any extra foundation-building pill would be a great thing!
Thinking of this, Wan Zhiqi's smile became even warmer, and he said gently: "I see that Fellow Daoist Kong is very close to me, and Fellow Daoist Kong has mastered such a unique skill. It is a match made in heaven for my Lingzhen Hall! I wonder if Fellow Daoist Kong is interested in joining my Lingzhen Hall. Fellow Daoist Kong must have a seat as an elder!"
The position of the elder of Lingzhen Hall! Qian Qiancheng blushed when he heard Wan Zhiqi's promise.
He worked hard for decades, and voluntarily stayed in the mortal area to lead generation after generation of immortal seedlings. Every year when the spiritual rice was harvested, he had to take the assessment of the Immortal Square. Only in this way did he get the position of an elder of Lingzhen Hall.
If Gu Dan was appreciated by Huang Chao when he first came here and was invited to join the Law Enforcement Hall, he could accept it, but now it is really hard to accept! What virtue and ability did Kong Zhai have to surpass his decades of hard work after only nine years in Ningfang? !
The elder of Lingzhen Hall seems to be just a title, but not only does he receive a profit share every year, but he can also practice the skills and immortal arts in the immortal house for free! Even ordinary people dare not even think about the earth-level cave, but he is also eligible to practice for a month every year!
In addition, there are various invisible benefits. For example, the elixirs that are produced in very small quantities and unknown to the outside world are all divided among their own people. They are already the real high-level figures in the Immortal Square! Compared with his efforts and hard work, Kong Zhai was just lucky enough to master an internal breathing technique, and he instantly tied the two of them! Qian Qiancheng's face turned blue and red, and he almost vomited blood, but since the hall master had already spoken, he naturally did not dare to sing a different tune, and could only bite the bullet and bow his hands to congratulate, "Then congratulations to Fellow Daoist Kong."
The words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, full of reluctance.
"Tang Master Wan has such good intentions, and Zhai is also very touched."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Dan nodded slightly, but then shook his head and said, "But I have already joined the Law Enforcement Hall. The head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Huang Chao, has treated me well, and many of my colleagues have never bullied me. If I accept the invitation of Hall Master Wan and plot for the position of the elder of Lingzhen Hall and abandon the Law Enforcement Hall, then who would I be, Kong Zhai?"
Gu Dan stood up from the recliner and said solemnly, "A real man lives between heaven and earth. He should do what he should do and what he should not do! Zhai Ke appreciates Master Wan's good intentions, but he cannot accept them."
"Hiss~"
Qian Qiancheng, who was full of jealousy just now, took a deep breath and looked at Gu Dan with a completely different look.
I really don’t know whether to say that he is a fool or that he doesn’t understand why the position of elder of Lingzhen Hall is so popular!
"oh?!"
Even Wan Zhiqi didn't expect that Gu Dan would refuse so straightforwardly.
He is the elder of Lingzhen Hall, the most lucrative position in the entire Immortal House!
I don't know how many people have tried their best to get in, but this person can still refuse? He is already a person who values friendship and loyalty! But it is more reassuring to accept such a person.
Wan Zhiqi's smile remained on his face as he thought about it, saying, "I was not thoughtful enough. Huang Chao was the first to promote you, so he was very kind to you. But as the saying goes, a wise bird chooses a tree to inhabit. If you stay in the Law Enforcement Hall, you will not be able to bring your talents into full play, but will delay your own cultivation. Lingzhen Hall is the stage for you to show your talents.
As for the Law Enforcement Hall, I will discuss it with the Hall Master Huang Chao, and I think he will give me some face. This way, we can have the best of both worlds. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Kong?"
This attitude can be said to be disrespectful to the wise and humble.
"this"
Gu Dan thought for a moment and then said, "This is a solution, but I just got into trouble in the Law Enforcement Hall not long ago. If I want to jump to the Lingzhen Hall now, I'm afraid I'll be suspected of being afraid of committing a crime."
"Hahaha."
Wan Zhiqi laughed and said, "It is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in cultivation. What's the point of being afraid of guilt? It's just a small accident. What's the big deal? If a man can't even make a little trouble, he is a real mediocre person. A truly talented person, like Fellow Daoist Kong, will always cause turmoil and attract attention even if he does not intend to do anything. This is talent!"
Qian Qiancheng stared in amazement as Wan Zhiqi praised Gu Dan in various ways, his face full of disbelief.
When did this Lingzhen Hall Master become so good-tempered? Have you ever been so polite when talking to him? This is a question.
"Zhai is just an ordinary cultivator, and he doesn't deserve such high praise from Hall Master Wan."
"That's not true. Xianfang never treats any talented person unfairly!"
“.”
“.”
The two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and it can be said that they were in love and felt that they had met too late.
Only Qian Qiancheng was left at the side with a bewildered look on his face, not understanding why these two people, whom he had just met for the first time, were so close to each other.
However, Wan Zhiqi was the head of Lingzhen Hall after all, and he had many affairs to attend to. After chatting for half an hour, he decided to leave first. Before leaving, he promised to go to Huang Chao and "ask" for him.
When Wan Zhiqi left, Qian Qiancheng still seemed a little absent-minded.
"Elder Qian?"
Gu Dan called out.
"Hmm? Ah!"
Qian Qiancheng came back to his senses and bowed in a complicated manner, "Congratulations, Brother Kong, on your success."
"How could that be true? I have troubled Brother Qian with his care these days, and I will always remember it. If I really want to go to Lingzhen Hall, I will have to ask Brother Qian for more advice."
Gu Dan said immediately.
In the blink of an eye, the two began to call each other brothers.
With Gu Dan giving him face, Qian Qiancheng's face finally looked much better. Although he still felt sad, he put on a decent face. "Okay, okay. If there is anything you want to know, Brother Kong, you can ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
The fancy sedan is carried by everyone, and since Gu does not lose face for others, others will naturally give him some face.
Using Qingmu Liquid as a springboard, he can easily infiltrate the upper echelons of Lingfang. Aren't all those spiritual treasures, spiritual medicines and spiritual plants available for him to review?
Cultivation is not only about fighting and killing, but also about the ways of the world! Gu Dan didn't have to wait too long. About three days later, Zhuang Sheng arrived here.
In the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhuang Sheng was the one who was most familiar with him and had the best relationship with him.
"I heard that you practiced the inner breathing technique and it was effective?"
Zhuang Sheng looked Gu Dan up and down with a rather strange look, as if he was trying to find out something.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Gu Dan's expression remained unchanged. "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhuang has never seen the Inner Breath Technique?"
"Not really."
Zhuang Sheng shook his head and put aside his doubts. The man in front of him was completely different from the one he remembered in terms of his blood, body shape, face, and even the tone and way of speaking. There was no way they could be put together.
"It's just that I knew a senior before, and his attainments in the inner breath technique are probably the best in the world. Suddenly I heard that Brother Kong has also achieved some success in this art, and I couldn't help but think of that senior."
