Summer, time passed, and another half a year had passed.
Li Changsheng sat in the courtyard, looking at the nameless secret book that he had read thousands of times, pondering every word carefully, and at the same time verifying it with the Taoist scriptures he had read in his previous life.
He discovered that the cultivation method recorded in the nameless secret book was different from what he had imagined. It cultivated a kind of Qi, a thing that clearly existed, called spiritual energy. By absorbing it into the Dantian and circulating it in the Great Circulation, one could increase his cultivation.
"What is Qi? Why can't I feel it? Don't I have the qualifications?"
Wei Xi described her practice as absorbing spiritual energy as if ants were crawling on her skin, and then entering her dantian. Half a month later, she felt the energy moving along the thicker meridians, like a worm slowly crawling.
After two months of practice, the Qi was able to raise the body temperature and a warm feeling emerged in the Dantian.
From this, he could infer that Wei Xi's cultivation level was improving with each change in her Qi sense, and her body was obviously healthier than before. Her fighting power at night was also enhanced. If this continued, he would probably fall behind.
Li Changsheng felt an inexplicable sense of urgency, but he quickly suppressed his anxiety. This kind of thing cannot be rushed, and even if you rush, it will not change anything.
He had to prepare for the worst, perhaps he simply did not have the qualifications to practice.
"Brother Li."
A man dressed as a scholar walked in. From the exquisite silk clothes he was wearing and the jade pendant around his waist, it could be seen that this man came from a very wealthy family.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I came to visit you today."
"Oh, it's Brother Liang. What can I do to bother you so much and bring you to my humble home?" Li Changsheng stood up and pretended to be enthusiastic.
He had seen through this group of friends clearly from what had happened before, but in order to maintain his connections, he sometimes had to be hypocritical.
The waves caused by the new emperor's ascension to the throne have completely subsided. Once the limelight has passed, those friends Li Changsheng had made in the past have come to him one after another.
They were not here to reminisce or make up for past relationships, but to get him to do his old job. Go to those brothels and write poems to help them win the hearts of those courtesans. This would naturally pay off, all earned from these young masters.
Li Changsheng refused this time. Although he had often been to such places with them before, he had never visited there for the sake of his own safety so as not to contract syphilis.
Besides, he is married now, so he cannot go to such romantic places. This is not about whether there is action or not, but a respect for his wife. It may be difficult for others to understand. It is an elegant thing for scholars to visit brothels, but why does it become dirty and filthy when it comes to you?
He has rejected several invitations in the past few days.
The scholar said, "Brother Li, do you have any thoughts on returning to the government? With your talent, you will definitely achieve great things if you enter the government. You were framed by a villain before, but now there is an opportunity waiting for you."
How did he know I was framed?
Li Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly became alert. The matter of the county governor was discussed in private, and basically no one except the participants would know about it, and he himself did not dare to tell anyone.
Now the county magistrate has been uprooted and his cronies have all been beheaded. Logically, I am the only one who knows that the county magistrate cheated in the provincial examination.
Liang Xin's father was a minor county magistrate and he probably didn't have the power to dig out his affairs.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Liang. I have run out of ideas and no longer want to pursue a career in politics." Li Changsheng shook his head. No matter what, he had lost interest in a career in politics.
"Maybe it's not bad to live like this for the rest of your life."
Liang Xin was stunned. He obviously didn't expect the other party to refuse like this. Logically speaking, given Li Changsheng's situation, he should be very eager to regain his qualification for the imperial examination.
Soon he came to his senses and said, "Brother Li, don't underestimate yourself. A man should have great ambitions. I have the ability to help you regain your qualification for the imperial examination, and even help you become the top scorer."
How could he, a student who hadn't even passed the examination to become a scholar, speak so arrogantly?
There is a problem.
Li Changsheng asked: "Brother Liang is so capable?"
"No, it's not me." Liang Xin shook his head slightly, "Someone is willing to help you, as long as you leave your wife, or persuade her to leave."
Before he could finish his words, Li Changsheng frowned, stood up and put his hand on the other's shoulder, with a hint of danger on his face.
Although he was a scholar, he had also practiced some farming techniques, and although he was muscular, he was quite strong.
"Brother Liang, in order to avoid misunderstanding, you'd better explain it clearly."
"Brother Li, calm down. It's not what you think." Liang Xin was a little panicked when he was caught, and the condescending attitude he had just had disappeared.
"Listen to my explanation. It's not that someone wants to break you up. No, it seems that they do want to break you up, but not in the way you think. They are not ordinary people, they are immortals."
When Li Changsheng heard the word "immortal", he felt his heart skip a beat and a surge of excitement filled his heart, followed by a bad premonition.
It is naturally very good to be able to meet people who practice Taoism. Who knows, you might be able to ask for advice and be guided into the Tao. Even if that doesn't work, it will at least broaden your horizons.
But why do you want Xier?
talent……
Li Changsheng recalled the speed of Wei Xi's cultivation. Even an amateur like him could feel that it was a bit fast. Xi'er was obviously a genius, and was discovered by a cultivator passing by.
This is not a good thing, they have no strength to resist.
At night, the two lay in bed in silence. They should have been sleeping, but they both kept their eyes open and noticed something was wrong with the other.
Wei Xi was the first to speak: "Husband, a few strange female Taoist priests found me and said they wanted to take me to practice, but I refused."
