Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

Two months passed in a flash.

"I finally got started with the Spirit Flame Art!"

At night, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled.

At this moment, he circulated the thin mana in his body and felt a hot breath.

As soon as he got started, he felt that the mana of the Spirit Flame Art was extremely hot.

This is the mana condensed by the Spirit Flame Art!

Zhou Ling could feel that this thin mana was obviously thicker and stronger than the mana originally absorbed through the "Five Elements Breathing Technique"!

"Fortunately, I have the talents of [More courageous after setbacks] and [Genius]"

Zhou Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Otherwise, it would take a long time to comprehend this art, let alone cultivate mana.

Wait for one or two years, or even two or three years to comprehend it.

By then, I will be seven or eight years old.

That is to enter the second level of Qi Refining, and the next two years of practice may not be able to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining.

At that time, I will have to leave the Taoist Academy.

Without the resources of the Taoist Academy, he would be destined to be a casual cultivator in the future, and the chance of building a foundation would be very slim.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling took another deep breath, and his mind became more focused, and he continued to practice the Spirit Flame Technique.

Try to enter the second level of Qi training as soon as possible.

Between this level and the second level, there is a small realm.

Without the assistance of elixirs, it is still very difficult to rely on mana alone.

······.

More than two months passed in a hurry, and winter turned to spring.

[You are absorbing spiritual energy, spiritual energy affinity +1, spiritual energy +3]

[Cumulative number of spiritual energy absorption: 51090/100,000]

That night, Zhou Ling was sitting cross-legged and practicing the Spirit Flame Technique.

As Zhou Ling breathed in and out, it seemed as if there were faint ripples around him, and wisps of spiritual energy were absorbed into his body.

Then it slowly flowed into the meridians and merged into the spiritual cave.

Zhou Ling noticed that every time he breathed in and out, the spiritual power in his body was enriched.

After Zhou Ling continued to practice for half an hour, he felt a tingling and slightly swollen feeling in his meridians, and realized that his spiritual power in his spiritual acupoints was full.

Then, under the guidance of the Spirit Flame Art, the spiritual power in the meridians slowly stimulated the meridian spiritual acupoints like peeling silk from a cocoon.

Soon, there was a muffled sound.

"Finally, the tenth spiritual acupoint has been stimulated!"

Zhou Ling exhaled. He had been waiting for this moment for nearly half a year.

Of course, this was mainly due to the practice method.

Although it took a little longer, it was worth it.

If you choose to practice a lower-grade yellow-level practice method, it may be faster.

But the speed of practice in the future may not be as fast as the Spirit Flame Art.

Zhou Ling scratched his head, and then continued to practice the Spirit Flame Art, trying to absorb spiritual power, and found that the spiritual energy he inhaled was twice as much as before.

Although it was only a small level, the speed had already increased so much.

Zhou Ling was delighted and continued to practice for about an incense stick of time to stabilize his cultivation.

At this moment, he found that his spiritual power was obviously much more abundant, and even his consciousness, which had not yet fully formed, was stronger.

"I have reached the second level of Qi training!"

Zhou Ling was very happy.

It took more than a quarter of an hour to calm down his excitement.

Entering the second level of Qi training can be regarded as becoming a cultivator in the true sense.

Next, he can start practicing various skills.

Zhou Ling began to think carefully about the next plan and learn a skill as soon as possible.

So as to share the burden of the family.

"Tomorrow is the first day of the new school year. You can go to the Taoist temple to borrow books on the practice of basic inscriptions and learn how to refine inscriptions as soon as possible!"

Zhou Ling said in his heart.

He picked up the cup on the small wooden table and drank a few sips of water.

"Let me tell my parents and make them happy too!"

Zhou Ling thought.

The faint light of the flint lamp shone through the crack of the door into the room.

Zhou Ling knew that his parents should not have slept yet.

Although Li Ru and his wife had many expectations for him, they also knew that cultivation should be done step by step and not be quick to achieve success.

It is important to lay a good foundation.

Usually, Zhou Ling didn't feel any pressure.

When he walked to the door, through the crack of the door, Zhou Ling saw his father sitting on a wooden chair, holding a ceramic bowl, drinking spirit wine in small sips, with a small dish of fried peanuts next to him.

His face, which was already a little vicissitudes, looked even more haggard under the dim light.

His mother sat on a low wooden stool near the flint lamp, sewing her shoe soles, yawning slightly from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ling's excitement slowly dissipated.

He is now more than five years old.

Quietly, he grew from a baby who could only cry loudly to a second-level Qi training cultivator.

This speed is already very fast for ordinary casual cultivators.

But in the past five years, his parents' cultivation has not improved at all and has stagnated.

The main reason for this, Zhou Ling knew, was that they gave all their resources to him.

Li Ru put down the needle, took out a pair of scissors from the dustpan, cut the needle and thread, looked up at Zhou Shan and said, "Husband, don't go into the inner mountain this year."

Zhou Shan shook his head, "Now the outer mountain is full of ordinary spiritual medicines, and my spiritual awareness is low, so I can't find good medicines. If I encounter a monster beast and get injured, then basically this month's work will be in vain."

"Although the monster beasts in the inner mountain are stronger, as long as you can find one or two first-level middle-grade spiritual medicines, it will be worth it."

Li Ru looked at Zhou Shan and said softly, "Wait until Ling'er exchanges the main cultivation method, and you can use the remaining spiritual stones at home to buy spiritual sand and stone."

"See if you can break through the late stage of body refining!"

Zhou Shan took a sip of the spirit wine, shook his head and said, "Ling'er chooses to practice martial arts, and he will need to support spiritual objects later. This will also cost a lot of spirit stones, so I'd better save it for him."

"At my age, I don't expect to make any big progress in my cultivation."

"Dad, Mom, I've entered the second floor of qi training!" Zhou Ling opened the door, walked into the hall, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Shan and his wife were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhou Ling with joy on their faces.

"Son, you have now entered the second level of Qi training!"

Li Ru hurriedly pulled Zhou Ling in front of him, looked left and right in disbelief, and then shouted excitedly, "Husband, my son has really reached the second level of Qi training!"

"Okay! Okay! My old Zhou family is really going to have a foundation-building monk in this generation!"

Zhou Shan also looked pleased and excited, and couldn't help but drink the remaining wine in the pottery bowl in one gulp.

The couple never expected that their son would enter the second level of Qi training so quickly.

At this rate, there is a good chance that he will continue to practice in the Taoist Academy before he is ten years old.

In the future, he could even become an inner disciple of the Taoist Academy.

"Father, mother, I have already settled the matter of the exercises. In addition, there is no need to worry about the Taoist school tuition fees in the future!"

"This year, the Taoist Academy will start to stream streams. As long as I can get into the top ten with my assessment results, I won't have to pay tuition, and I can even get a bonus from the Taoist Academy!"

Zhou Ling said.

Originally, Zhou Ling didn't want his parents to know about these two things, especially the assessment.

But I really don’t want my father to take risks in the inner mountains.

That’s why I brought it up first.

After all, now, he is not very sure that he can enter the top ten in the Taoist Academy.
