Chapter 197 The Secret of Immortality
At the zenith of the sun, a stream of light descended on the Shilong Dojo outside Yangzhou City. Shaking his wide sleeves, Shen Yuanliang, dressed in white, looked at a three-meter-high boulder ten meters away.

The four big characters "Shilong Daochang" come into view, elegant and graceful, with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, as if they are immortals flying away on the wind, but there is a hint of urgency in them, which destroys the overall artistic conception.

"The master is in seclusion and practicing, and will not see any visitors today."

"Your honored guest, please come back another day? Or leave your name card and let us inform our master to come back another day?"

The disciples of the Taoist temple guarding the gate looked at Shen Yuanliang who fell from the sky, trembling with fear, their teeth chattering.

If Shi Long had not treated them well on weekdays, taught them martial arts, and was not a respected teacher, they would have dispersed long ago. At this moment, they just wanted to buy a moment for their master to react.

"Your filial piety is commendable."

Turning the jade ring in his hand, Shen Yuanliang strolled leisurely in the garden, covering a distance of a hundred feet with one step. Suddenly, a series of afterimages flashed by, and the disciples on both sides of the Taoist temple stood still as if they had been acupunctured.

After three or two steps, a simple but exquisite small courtyard appeared in front of Shen Yuanliang in the lush green bamboo sea. The whole house was built with purple bamboo, full of Taoist charm.

A faint fragrance permeates the air, making people feel refreshed and quickly calming their irritable mood.

With a "creak", the slight sound of pushing the door awakened Taoist Shilong who was studying "The Secret of Immortality" in the house. He was about 40 years old, wearing a tall hat and a wide belt, and had an immortal look.

"who?"

Clutching the "Secret of Immortality" made of black silk and gold thread in his hand, the thin Shilong, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, frowned and looked at the uninvited guest who pushed the door in, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"call out!"

Without saying anything more, Shen Yuanliang flipped his right hand and a strong suction force came. The "Eternal Life Secret" that Shi Long was holding tightly in his hand suddenly flew out of his hand and fell into his palm.

"Give me back the secret of immortality!"

Seeing that the "Secret of Immortality" suddenly fell into Shen Yuanliang's hands, Shi Long became anxious, and his gentle face instantly looked like a hungry ghost from hell, very hideous.

In order to decipher the Secret of Immortality, Shi Long neglected sleep and food for more than ten years, studying the oracle bone inscriptions all day long, wanting to master this magical skill, and he was even inclined to go astray.

This is the obsession in his heart. The Secret of Immortality is his lifeblood and no one can take it away from him.

Thinking of this, the stone dragon mobilized all his internal strength and rushed over. The great master of celestial phenomena had no reservations. The powerful momentum spread out, and the endless sea of ​​bamboo suddenly rose and fell, rustling.

"The treasure is the home of the virtuous."

After saying that, Shen Yuanliang snapped his fingers, and a drop of emerald green magic power, like a crystal clear emerald gem, went straight into the body of the stone dragon.

Endless vitality illuminates his whole body. Shi Long has been obsessed with "The Secret of Immortality" for many years. He practiced blindly according to his own guesses, and his body has long been in a state of deterioration and suffering from all kinds of injuries. But at this moment, he is rejuvenated, like an old tree sprouting.

With a "puff", a large amount of black blood gushed out and splashed on the ground.

In an instant, the awakened Shilong was no longer as ferocious as before. His face was calm and amiable. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."

After the internal injuries that had been lingering in his heart were healed, scenes from the past flashed through his mind. Shi Long was extremely grateful, but at the same time, a sense of fear welled up in his heart. As for the "Secret of Immortality", he didn't want it anymore.

"This is the Soul-Nourishing Pill, which can replenish your spiritual power. It's my compensation."

With a wave of his sleeves, a three-inch-high jade bottle quietly appeared on the table. It was milky white and emitted a faint halo. It was obviously made of the finest mutton-fat jade. "You have saved my life and helped me to find my way back. I will give you the Secret of Immortality. You don't need any compensation."

Waving his hand, Shi Long refused straightforwardly.

After breaking through the confusion, the stone dragon became indifferent and peaceful, more and more extraordinary and otherworldly, his state of mind was very detached, and nothing in the world could shake his heart.

"It's a fair trade, and we won't be cheated. The Soul-Enriching Pill is my compensation for taking away the Secret of Immortality."

After taking a deep look at Shi Long, Shen Yuanliang said without question.

Then he spit out a flying sword from his mouth, and with his robe fluttering, Shen Yuanliang flew on the sword, turning into a stream of light and disappearing in front of the stone dragon. He came and went in a hurry, very free and easy!
"God, immortal?"

Shi Long was dumbfounded, his heart was in turmoil, and he could no longer remain calm.

As a Taoist, Shi Long is committed to studying the "Eternal Life Secret" in order to become an immortal and break through the void like Guangchengzi, the ancient teacher of Emperor Huangdi.

Now the immortal was right before his eyes. Shi Long came to his senses and hurried out of the house, but he only saw a black dot disappearing into the sky. For a moment, he felt lost.

In a few moments, on a hilltop ten miles away, a breeze blew by, and Shen Yuanliang sat cross-legged on a huge rock, slowly unfolding the "Eternal Life Secret" that everyone in the martial arts world dreams of, reading it word by word.

Oracle bone script, also known as "oracle inscriptions" and "oracle bone inscriptions", is the writing of the Shang Dynasty. It is profound and extensive, and combines the "four styles" of the traditional "six scripts", namely pictographic, indicative, associative, and phono-semantic.

Based on these characteristics, and after consulting Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong and others before coming, Shen Yuanliang spent three days and three nights and finally translated all 7,400 types of characters.

"The Secret of Longevity" focuses on refining essence into qi, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through acupoints, using qi to maintain youthful looks, and thus living as long as a tortoise. It is considered a half step towards the path of cultivating immortals. The seven pictures in it explain the five elements of heaven and earth as well as yin and yang.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanliang let out a light breath, and when he calmed down, his mind sank into the Niwan Palace, connecting with the center of his sea of ​​consciousness. A mysterious giant cauldron like Mount Buzhou appeared in his eyes, and a blue light curtain appeared.

"The creation is the work, the yin and yang are the carbon, the luck is the furnace fire, and the Secret of Immortality is the firewood, refine it for me!"

A thumb-sized bronze tripod appeared before his eyes, and then it swelled with the wind. In a moment, a bronze tripod ten feet in size landed steadily on the boulder.

He threw the "Eternal Life Secret" that he had memorized by heart into it. A colorful glow flashed, and endless Taoist rhymes and laws of heaven and earth descended. Shen Yuanliang, holding his breath and concentrating, wandered in the avenue of heaven and earth.
