Of course, he knew Zhang Xiaofan, and because of him, Lin Jingyu died. When he has the ability in the future, he will revive the people of Grass Temple Village.
"No matter what, I'll learn the skills first!" Li Ling thought to himself as he became an apprentice.
To fulfill the wish of the monk Puzhi in this world—to explore the secrets of immortality and create a path to longevity for all living beings—the first step is to continuously cultivate oneself and become stronger.
The world of Jade Dynasty is a world of cultivation. If cultivators want to achieve immortality, they need to reach the level of Earth Immortals, whose lifespan is infinite.
Li Ling learned through the communication system that the world of Zhu Xian is a minor world, and one needs to start preparing for the tribulation when reaching the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
After passing the Heavenly Tribulation and becoming an Earthly Immortal, one will be rejected by the world and enter a higher level of the world; this is called 'Ascension'.
So, in order to explore the secrets of immortality, Li Ling must first become an Earth Immortal. As for being rejected by the world after becoming an Earth Immortal, the system can solve this problem.
As for creating a path to immortality for all living beings, it is necessary to spread the teachings of the cultivation world, leave behind cultivation techniques that allow ascension, and leave behind seeds that allow all living beings to achieve immortality.
In a short time, Li Ling had completed his plan for the future.
At that moment, he had just finished his apprenticeship ceremony with Cangsong.
"Good boy, hahaha!" Cangsong was overjoyed, unable to stop smiling. After helping Li Ling up, he said, "Good disciple, wait a moment. I'll take you back to Dragon Head Peak. After a few days, when you're fully recovered, I'll teach you the 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao' of my Qingyun Sect!" (Wishing Star of All Heavens and Myriad Realms) 2A;书屋”最新章节 C;一时间免费阅读。

Chapter 321: The Profound Dao of Taiji
Three days later, on a peak of Dragon Head Peak.
Cangsong and Li Ling stood atop the peak, with the ancient and lush forests swaying gently in the wind below, and the ever-changing white clouds gathering and dispersing around them, giving them the imposing feeling of "standing on the highest peak and looking down on all the mountains!"
Cangsong sat cross-legged on a blue stone and beckoned to Li Ling, saying, "Disciple, come and sit down. Your master will now impart the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to you!"
Li Ling stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Yes, Master."
Then, he sat cross-legged beside the pine tree.
In the past few days, Cangsong has been extremely caring towards Li Ling. Not to mention anything else, just today, he personally brought Li Ling here to personally teach him the cultivation technique. This was an honor that only Qi Hao, the eldest disciple of Dragon Head Peak, could receive before!
Cangsong watched Li Ling sit down beside him, a smile appearing on his face. Then, he said solemnly, "Disciple, the Taiji Xuanqing Dao of my Qingyun Sect is one of the three great righteous cultivation techniques, on par with the 'Great Brahma Prajna' of Yin Temple and the 'Fenxiang Jade Scroll' of Fenxiang Valley. Its power is rarely seen in the world..."
"Such profound techniques are extremely time-consuming to cultivate. Don't be too impatient, just cultivate slowly! This technique is divided into nine levels of Jade Purity, nine levels of Upper Purity, and nine levels of Supreme Purity!"
"Today, I will first teach you the incantation for the first level of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao Yuqing. You should cultivate it diligently first. After you have completed your cultivation, I will slowly teach you the incantations for the later levels!"
After that, he taught Li Ling the first level of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao incantation word by word. And after Li Ling memorized it, he explained it word by word, afraid that Li Ling might misunderstand it or make a mistake in his practice. He was truly dedicated and responsible.
At this moment, Li Ling dared not slack off in the slightest. Although his physical body in modern society had already achieved the Martial Dao Primordial Spirit realm and his own magical power was also profound, and his strength in this world was definitely not bad, the realm that Taiji Xuanqing Dao could reach was definitely above all that Li Ling had learned.
Seeing Li Ling's earnestness and diligence, Cangsong couldn't help but nod in approval. Throughout history, there have been countless talented and extraordinary individuals, but those who truly aspire to achieve something still need to be earnest and hardworking.
It's like the tortoise and the hare race. If the hare works hard, the tortoise can run itself to death and still not catch up!
After answering Li Ling's questions one by one, Cangsong took a deep breath and said, "The first level of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao is Foundation Building and Qi Cultivation. After sitting in meditation, you must let go of your thoughts and restrain all kinds of troubles, and draw the earth's spiritual energy into your body for a great circulation. In this way, you can connect with the earth and thus comprehend the earth's creation."
"When your spiritual energy can circulate continuously for thirty-six major cycles within your body, your meridians will be stabilized, and you can then proceed to the second level of cultivation!"
"For an ordinary person, it would take at most a year to complete this level of cultivation! Alright, you can cultivate here for now, and I will come to pick you up later tonight!"
"Yes!" Li Ling remained seated and said yes, then closed his eyes and began to ponder the profound mysteries of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.
Seeing that Li Ling did not rush into cultivation but instead closed his eyes and pondered, Cangsong nodded in satisfaction. Then, he made a sword incantation with his hand, and a streak of light flashed by. He had already flown away on his sword to an unknown place and disappeared without a trace!
Seeing that Cangsong had finally left, Li Ling couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief. He then mentally reviewed the incantation several times before silently focusing his mind and beginning to absorb the surrounding earth's spiritual energy.
"Drawing spiritual energy into the body, tempering the meridians, and circulating it for thirty-six cycles... This is actually similar to expanding the meridians in martial arts cultivation. Both strengthen and stabilize the meridians, laying a foundation so that they can accommodate more true energy or magical power."
Li Ling had already grasped the essence of the first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao through a series of questions. After carefully recalling it in his mind, he began to circulate the spiritual energy he had absorbed into his body through his meridians.
It was precisely because of this that, gradually, as time went by, several hours later, Li Ling realized that he had not only circulated for thirty-six cycles, but had directly circulated for one hundred and eight cycles.
"This must be because my body's meridians are unobstructed and incredibly resilient. After all, my body has fused with the bloodline of the Fire Ancestor, Zhu Rong, and absorbed the energy carried by my divided soul."
"Moreover, in my opinion, the first level of Jade Purity only strengthens the meridians. The method is very crude and the effect is very simple. However, it can absorb earth spiritual energy from the beginning, which is much higher than my previous starting point in martial arts. Perhaps I can modify it."
As the saying goes, "If you think of something, do it." Li Ling immediately used the first level of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao method for absorbing spiritual energy, combined with the internal training method of his martial arts foundation-building technique, "Dragon's Roar Iron Shirt," to quickly absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and temper his body.
After fusing with a trace of Zhu Rong's bloodline, Li Ling achieved the Fire Spirit Body, which has a much higher potential for enhancement than ordinary people.
In the past, before Li Ling condensed the 'Pangu True Body' and was still an ordinary person, he could only slightly improve his physical strength by absorbing countless spiritual energies and with the assistance of the World Original Liquid.
This is naturally a limitation imposed by one's own inherent talent; to break through it would require a hundred times the effort.
But things are different now. The fragment of Zhu Rong's bloodline and energy brought by the split soul have given this body a head start that far surpasses its original self.
Although it is far inferior to the original form after Pangu condensed his true essence, it is already stronger than 99% of the living beings in the world of 'Zhu Xian'.
Qingyun Mountain itself is rich in spiritual energy; otherwise, the Qingyun Sect would not have been able to establish itself here for a thousand years. The location where Li Ling is now is one of the places with the most abundant spiritual energy on Dragon Head Peak.
After he fully activated his technique to absorb spiritual energy, a faint vortex of spiritual energy even formed around his body, which devoured the surrounding spiritual energy like a black hole...
Although Li Ling was already old enough to begin cultivating the second level according to the standards, he was not in a hurry.
Given his cultivation speed, taking his time to build a solid foundation would greatly benefit his future cultivation. Therefore, he did not ask for the second level's incantation as soon as Cangsong returned.
Half a month later, as the sun gradually set and the sky grew darker, Li Ling let out a long breath.
As Li Ling continued his training, the speed at which his body's meridians were being tempered began to slow down, and from now on he could only rely on ink painting techniques.
Even though he used most of the spiritual energy to temper his meridians and body, Li Ling still accumulated a considerable amount of spiritual power within his body.
