I wish for longevity in the Peach Blossom Temple

Chapter 3 Entering the Tao
Taohua Temple is located on a hill, which is full of peach blossoms.

Because of its beautiful scenery and historical sites, it often attracts scholars and talented people to come and appreciate the scenery, and thus there is an endless stream of incense burning.

Su Yang was familiar with the route and quickly walked to the backyard, where there were also many peach blossoms planted.

Most of them have already withered, leaving only sections of dead wood.

These are the natal peach trees of the successive masters of Taohua Temple.

Because of the bad luck that came with being born and their life span being cut in half, the ancients came up with an idea. At the beginning of their practice, they would plant a peach tree with their own hands, nourish it with the essence, blood and yang energy, which would turn into their life force and be able to lock in the primordial yang, thus increasing their lifespan.

Probably, I can live a few more years.

The "Peach Wood Lock Yang Technique" practiced by Su Yang originated from this.

It is said to be a method of spiritual practice, but in fact it is the method of planting trees.

The peach tree planted by Su Yang has been growing for ten years. It was as thick as a bowl, but now it has grown tall and straight like a canopy.

Touching the rough bark of the peach tree, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. After his master's death, this natal peach tree was the only one that could accompany him.

Without thinking any more, Su Yang opened his mouth and countless ghost energy came out. He pinched his hands together and sealed all the ghost energy into the peach tree.

Peach wood is yang, and is nourished by Su Yang's essence, blood, and yang energy. It is an excellent restraining agent for ghost energy.

After doing this, Su Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind focused on the entrance.

Give me more!

In the panel, twenty years of life disappeared.

[You practiced under the peach tree in the temple, warming the peach tree with your Yang energy. Finally, in the third year, you completely refined the ghost energy, and your Yang energy was as dense as jade.]

[You continue to practice, your mind sinks into the mysterious gate, your Yang energy condenses like a wick, and you want to ignite the fire of life, but you fail]

[Failure did not make you back down. You continued to sit under the peach tree, your mind was calm and you seemed to have thought of something.]

[You grasped that ray of inspiration and pondered over it. In the eleventh year, you realized that the method you were practicing was not perfect.]

[You begin to perfect the technique, and in the eighteenth year you will have perfected it, and great success will be achieved]

[You sit in meditation for another two years, knocking at the gate of the zodiac. You and the zodiac peach tree have long been one. When people die, the tree dies; when people live, the tree lives. When the peach tree withers, you see through life and death, knock at the gate of the zodiac, and condense the fire of life.]

[In the 20th year, you entered the path of Taoism]

Memories and insights flooded into Su Yang's mind.

“I have entered the Tao?”

Su Yang slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him seemed to have changed.

A wisp of misty air wandered between heaven and earth, following Su Yang's breathing. With every inhalation and exhalation, a breath was captured by Su Yang.

There was a slight increase in mana.

Reiki!

Su Yang's eyes lit up.

Looking inward, he discovered that there was a ball of fire-like object in the Niwan Palace, rising and falling as if it was burning.

He only felt a great sense of satisfaction rising in his chest, and the truest side of the world was completely presented before Su Yang.

"This is cultivation, there is hope for longevity!"

The moment he knocked on the threshold and condensed the fire of life, he was finally able to inhale and exhale spiritual energy.

This is the most difficult point in practicing cultivation with a yang body.

When people practice Taoism, they need to draw spiritual energy into their bodies. The most important thing in order to practice this is to have spiritual roots. If one has spiritual roots, entering Taoism will be a natural process.

Su Yang has no spiritual roots.

The only way to practice is to use Yang energy as one's own foundation and absorb the first ray of purple sun rising between heaven and earth. It is a difficult practice, just like climbing a mountain ten thousand meters high step by step.

Once you reach the top, you can look far into the distance and see all the other mountains as small.

It can be said that Su Yang’s foundation now is no less than that of a cultivator with spiritual roots, and he even has a natural advantage over them.

[Peach Blossom View (unlucky)]

【Master: Su Yang】

【Age: 16】

[Cultivation: First level of Life Realm]

[Fate: As the master of the temple, you will suffer misfortune and live half your life]

[Constitution: Small Pure Yang Dao Body (Entry Level)]

[Remaining life span: 94]

[Actual life span (unknown): 47]

[Kungfu: Peach Wood Suo Yang Gong (minor success, can be deduced to the great success with a life span of 100 years), Peach Wood Slaying Ghost Sword (entry level, can be deduced to the minor success with a life span of 10 years), Peach Yang Rebirth Mantra (minor success, can be deduced to the great success with a life span of 500 years)]

"A hundred years." Su Yang smiled bitterly.

His life span increased by thirty years after he entered the Tao. Excluding the twenty years of expenses, he had an extra ten years. All in all, he only had five years left to live.

The ominous force can cause great harm to people!
"You don't have enough lifespan."

Su Yang shook his head and turned his gaze to the peach tree behind him.

"what?"

Su Yang glanced sideways.

The peach tree in front of me is several meters tall, and
The tree was full of peach blossoms.

"I remember that there is still January, the time when peach blossoms are in full bloom, right?"

"My natal peach tree hasn't bloomed for ten years, but it actually bloomed today, a month early?"

Soon, Su Yang laughed out loud.

The peach tree in front of me was actually absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, and as the peach tree absorbed and exhaled, the concentration of spiritual energy under the tree was actually increasing little by little.

The changes were extremely subtle, and if Su Yang had not concentrated his mind, he would have found it difficult to detect.

“Spiritual plant!”

"Could it be that as my realm improves, the quality of the peach trees will also improve, and one day, my Peach Blossom Temple may become a paradise?"

Su Yang couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

That is a paradise!
Legend has it that the spiritual energy in this blessed land is so rich that it seems to be tangible. If a mortal breathes in it, his life span can be increased by several years.

Su Yang was very envious.

"Next, we need to earn lifespan and continue the deduction."

Perhaps because there was hope for immortality, Su Yang felt a sense of urgency.

Then he looked at the panel again.

[Three days ago, the daughter of the tea stall owner at the entrance of Taohua Town prayed in the temple, asking the Three Pure Ones to grant her a marriage partner, preferably one as handsome as the temple master Su Yang. If it is really Su Yang, she is willing to shorten her life by ten years.]

[Marry the daughter of the tea stall owner at the entrance of Taohua Town and you will live ten years longer]

Su Yang looked strange, "."

[Five days ago, Taohua Town official Zhang Yuan and his wife prayed in the temple. They have been married for ten years but have no children. They asked the Three Pure Ones to grant them children. They both wanted to shorten their lifespans by ten years.]

[Zhang Yuan suffers from an unspeakable disease, and gives birth to a child for someone else, which can extend his lifespan by 20 years]

The corner of Su Yang's mouth twitched.

How could the panel come up with such a heaven-defying method?
Su Yang ignored it and continued browsing the panel.

Taohua Temple is small, not well-known, not very popular, and not many people come to pray.

Moreover, the people of Taohua Town are simple and honest, and those who come here to pray have all encountered problems that cannot be solved.

Most of them are human desires, nothing more than marriage, having children, praying for blessings, high school and so on.

Basically, there is nothing Su Yang can do to solve them.

Furthermore, there are even fewer people who pray to shorten their lifespan.

Su Yang sighed slightly, his cultivation was still too low. Without the power of ghosts and gods, he could not fulfill any of his wishes.

It was not until Su Yang focused his attention on one thing that he began to ponder.

[Ten days ago, Mr. Qian Li of Taohua Town prayed in the temple. His son Qian Liang fell into the water while playing in the river. His body is nowhere to be found. He asked the Three Pure Ones to find Qian Liang's body and was willing to shorten his life by ten years.]

[A carp demon, saved by Qian Liang when he was young, and later swallowed a spiritual pearl, which enabled him to obtain a cultivation method. Ten days ago, in order to repay his kindness, he took Qian Liang away and played in the river, forgetting everything else. Qian Liang cried and begged to go home, but the fish demon refused. He said that if he saved him, he would gain ten years of life.]

Su Yang smiled knowingly.

Qian Li didn't know that Qian Liang was not dead.

However, Su Yang at that time had not practiced enough and did not know how to swim, so he did not dare to risk his life to save others.

"Now that I have entered Taoism, I should be able to save people."

"If that fish monster is stubborn and refuses to change, just kill it!"

Su Yang snorted coldly, thinking of Qian Li crying and praying in the temple ten days ago. Her crying was heartbreaking and made people feel angry.

"Master, did you go to Linjiang City and Huamanlou yesterday?"

The aggrieved voice of the little Taoist boy interrupted Su Yang's thoughts.

broken!
