Chapter 8: The Master's Seclusion, the Earthly Immortal's Elixir (Please Read Later)
Lingyan Mountain.

The mountains have no sharp peaks, but only towering rocks.

In the dense jungle, a man in hunting clothes, holding a horn bow, with his eyes closed, stood still.

The inner strength surges and the muscles ripple.

Ten strands of true qi circulate in the body, and internal strength is generated every time a cycle is completed.

True Qi is like the leader goose in a formation of geese, leading the circulation of internal force.

Suddenly, Liang Yue opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He made finger gestures and muttered something.

"Call the birds, command!"

Birds refer to beasts, both flying and walking animals.

Whizzing!

The invisible force flashed and disappeared.

A low growl of a strange beast was heard from the bushes, as if a wild beast was running towards them quickly.

Whoosh!
A leopard jumped out.

"Lock it!"

The leopard was about to rush up to attack Liang Yue, but the next moment its body was frozen.

Liang Yue slowly pulled the bow, and the arrow hit the leopard's head squarely.

"The method of bird escape is so simple to kill wild beasts."

Summoning birds and locking moors. This combination is simply a miracle for hunters.

Just relying on these tiger bones and deer blood can make up for the lack of blood and energy in the body.

True Qi is precious, but there are some things that must be practiced. For example, the method of locking and immobilizing the body has increased the duration from ten breaths to half an incense stick.

Liang Yue was preparing to go down the mountain carrying the leopard and wolverine.

Pass by the running water and wipe your face to wash off the blood from the arrow.

The water is gurgling, and the fallen leaves from the peach forest are floating on it. The scene is very beautiful.

"Huh? Is there anyone?"

In the sensation, there were houses and vegetable fields in the peach forest.

Liang Yue walked over carefully.

I saw a thatched hut standing there, and in front of the hut there was an open space. An old man was practicing martial arts with a long and lingering breath, and he seemed to be a top-level master.

But this person has no spiritual power fluctuations, and is not a reclusive immortal.

Liang Yue watched this man practicing quietly.

After a long time, the white-bearded Taoist priest opened his eyes and looked at Liang Yue.

"My name is Liang Yue. Who are you? Why are you practicing in the mountains?"

Hearing this, the old Taoist stroked his beard and said complacently, "I am the immortal in the mountains, Shiquanzi. What is your identity, little brother?"

"What a coincidence! I am a god." Liang Yue said half-truthfully.

"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful. Are you willing to eat this simple meal, little brother?"

"I have some meat here, let's add a few more main dishes." Liang Yue was a little hungry.

This hermit in the mountains might really have some secret teachings.

An old man and a young boy were drinking and eating in this deep mountain forest.

The days ahead.

Liang Yue went into the mountains to hunt every now and then.

Whenever he caught prey, he would give some to the old man, and thus the two became acquainted. According to the old Taoist, his family was killed in the war, and he himself had been living in seclusion in the mountains for nearly 30 years.

This day.

The two men fought against each other.

Birds leap and move, bears flip over and birds look back.

The energy is running wild, and the fists and feet are combined.

The moves were exchanged between us, and our footsteps covered an area of several feet in radius.

Liang Yue finally confirmed that this person was truly a top-grade master with internal strength of more than thirty years.

In less than three rounds, he was completely suppressed.

"Senior, you have profound skills. I admire you!" Liang Yue exclaimed.

Of course, if you use spells other than summoning birds, it will be different.

The bird step belongs to the cloud-walking method, which is more powerful than the light skill. With one step, you can jump ten feet and glide hundreds of meters.

"Little brother, your cultivation is pretty good. How long have you been practicing?"

"Almost four months."

"Four years is not bad... Four months?" Shi Quanzi's eyes widened, and his beard almost fell off. "No wonder you eat so much. Without the support of medicine, your appetite will get bigger and bigger. Try this."

The old Taoist took out a round, brown pill the size of mouse droppings.

Liang Yue sniffed it and found the pill had a strange fragrance.

The Taoist priest broke off half of the pill for Liang Yue and took it himself. Liang Yue took the other half of the pill.

The moment you take the medicine, it melts in your mouth, filling your mouth with fragrance, and the medicinal power flows through your limbs and bones.

The heat spreads throughout the body, and the person feels like he is in a furnace.

The internal energy that had just been lost was all restored in an instant, and the true energy was also restored a lot, and the circulation speed increased.

It turned out to be a magical pill that accelerated cultivation? This old senior was really capable!

If you continue to practice like this, not only will your Qi recovery speed up, but it may even increase your upper limit. The increased Qi can also feed back to your soul.

It is truly a wonderful pill.

"This is?"

"This is the Five Ganoderma Earthly Immortal Pill. Little brother, when you go hunting, look for the red, purple, green, yellow and white Ganoderma. I can give you 30% of the pills I make."

"make a deal."

Light a fire and cook a sumptuous feast.

At the banquet, Liang Yue couldn't help but ask: "Senior, have you ever seen a true immortal while practicing in the mountains?"

Shi Quanzi put down his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "According to ancient records, spiritual energy has declined and the way of Taoism is no longer evident. There are no immortals in the world anymore."

Liang Yue pretended not to know and said, "The strange people and events before the Han and Qin dynasties...are they also false?"

"People in this world are foolish and are just fooled by the alchemists. Who in this world can achieve immortality?" Shi Quanzi looked longing and a little lonely.

No one can resist the temptation of immortality. Becoming an immortal is the dream of every hermit, and even the Qin Emperor and Han Wudi are no exception.

"Yeah." Liang Yue smiled bitterly.

I have traveled through time to the Dharma Ending Age, which is still more than two thousand years away from the age when all dharmas will manifest as described by Guangchengzi. I don’t know if I can survive it.

As long as he can get through it, he will be the first person to revive spiritual energy and have infinite advantages.

If you can't make it, there will be another ending.

He decided not to reveal his magic unless necessary, because who knows what greedy people might be eyeing him.

Carrying the prey back to the mountain.

On the way, three figures in Taoist robes entered the mountains.

"The Heavenly Master has ordered that the world's five pecks of rice sects be integrated. We, the Zhengyi Alliance, will spread the Taoism to the world and benefit all living beings. By then, the three of us will all be elders..." The little leader painted a big picture.

"Is that person really hiding here?"

"It's for sure. This matter must be kept secret and the court must not find out."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from the side.

Liang Yue carried the prey on his back and looked into the eyes of everyone.

The three of them looked at each other.

"The Tao spreads throughout the world and helps all living beings."

"Do it!!"

The three men seemed to be encouraged and drew their swords to kill Liang Yue.

"Suo Bo!" Liang Yue dropped his prey and thought to himself.

The white light hit the person in front, and that person stood still.

Liang Yue drew his sword, stepped forward and cut the man's neck, blood spurting several feet away.

Then he performed the Mi Yan Jue.

The second person stood there in confusion, and was eventually killed.

Seeing this, the third person retreated quickly.

Wow!
Liang Yue jumped ten feet into the air and pulled the bowstring to its full extent.

thump……

Such a miraculous scene caused the man's psychological defenses to collapse, and he said in horror:

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

"Don't kill me, I'm a disciple of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect!"

Liang Yue didn't move at all, and said with a smile: "You kill people at will, have you ever thought that others can also kill you!"

"What is your purpose in coming to Kuaiji?"

"The Tao spreads throughout the world and helps all living beings."

"So that means rebellion and killing people?" If this group of people rebel, the civilians will be the first to bear the brunt.

At this time, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect was in disarray and had long been in the hands of the nobles. They were just a tool to suppress dissidents due to uneven distribution of spoils.

Whoosh!
The arrows penetrated into the believers' eyes.

Kill three people in a row.

This is the first time I’ve killed someone in my two lifetimes.

Liang Yue felt a little upset. Looking at the corpse with its eyes open, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Just get used to it. Troubled times are coming, and more people will be killed."
