I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 6 Warrior

The heat flow is getting bigger and bigger.

Starting from the lower abdomen, it spreads to every part of the body.

After a while, my whole body became hot.

Musculoskeletal heat generation.

If the warm current that had previously lingered in the lower abdomen was a spark, it was now a candle flame.

It feels so comfortable.

"It's truly an excellent health supplement. It's effective, and it's well worth the money!"

Xie An felt a little regretful that he had not invested in himself earlier.

If you practice health-preserving exercises in this way, your progress will at least double.

Thinking of this, Xie An quickly called up the panel data:

[Five Animal Play: A First Look (69/100)]

[Remaining years: four years]

It usually took a whole day to increase one point of progress. But now, with the help of the Shengsheng Soup, in less than two hours, I actually increased my progress by two points.

It's amazing speed.

Even after taking the Shengqi Soup, the heat in my body didn't dissipate for a long time. I felt like I was full but couldn't digest it right away.

Xie An felt that the effects of his health-preserving exercises far exceeded those of others.

"I need to continue practicing the Five Animal Exercises to extend my lifespan and strengthen my physique. Compared to this, everything else is trivial."

Xie An calmed down his excitement. Although he had made great achievements recently, he was well aware that in this chaotic world, he was still very weak.

The most important thing to do now is to keep working hard and settle yourself.

The proficiency of the Five Animal Play is steadily increasing.

Tiger show, deer show, bear show, monkey show, bird show...

The complicated moves, practiced steadily in Xie An's hands, became more and more vivid. It was as if he had transformed into five animals, sometimes a tiger descending the mountain, sometimes a bear's paw shaking a tree, and sometimes a monkey's arms climbing a mountain.

When a young deer wades through the stream, birds fly through the forest...

Before I knew it, a month had passed.

In the early morning, when the autumn dew was as cold as ice, Xie An, shirtless, was practicing the Five Animal Exercises in his room.

Fierce tigers, giant bears, spirited apes, stream deer, flying birds... all kinds of variations were displayed naturally in Xie An's hands. His body was coordinated, movement and stillness were combined, and every gesture was filled with a sense of fluid beauty.

He suddenly rushed forward with a powerful punch, and the swift and powerful fist compressed the air, making a sharp "pop" sound.

"Even a 30-year-old strong man is far less powerful than me. If I continue to practice, I really don't know what level I can reach."

Only when he was exhausted did Xie An stop and sat on the ground gasping for breath.

Bring up the Dao Lu panel:

【Five Animal Exercises: Combining Movement and Stillness (13/100)】

[Tip: Cultivate a perfect balance between movement and stillness, and your life span will increase by ten years.]

[Remaining years: Seven years.]

After more than two months of hard training, I finally got past the initial stage and entered the stage of "combining movement and stillness".

Over seven years, Xie An was able to completely shake off his worries about old age and death. He ate well and slept soundly.

What made Xie An even more delighted was that his originally dry and wrinkled skin regained its luster and roundness, and his body had streamlined muscles that were comparable to those of a strong man in his thirties.

The heat flow in the lower abdomen is more powerful and deep, the body is full of strength, and the qi and blood are abundant.

Xie An lifted a stone lock yesterday, weighing an astonishing 300 kilograms!

"With this punch, I can easily kill a skinny young man. Even if I meet a grown man, I can beat him to death with my random punches."

"It's just that the progress has slowed down again..."

Xie An discovered that the more he practiced the Five Animal Play, the better the effect would be, but the more difficult it would also be.

Even with the help of medicine, it is not as fast as before.

Fortunately, Xie An kept a calm mind and was not in a hurry for success.

"My body is stronger now than ever before. Should I find a killing martial art to practice?"

Although health-preserving exercises can increase longevity and strengthen the body, they are ultimately not killing martial arts.

No matter how healthy you are, if you don't know how to fight, you will just be fat when you meet a real martial arts expert.

What's more, a long life does not mean immortality.

Even if you can achieve immortality by practicing health-preserving exercises in the future, if you are not strong enough and accidentally offend a strong person... you will still be beaten to death.

To survive in this chaotic world, one must practice martial arts. Although Xie An had never practiced martial arts, he had traveled through time for thirty years, so he still had some knowledge of martial arts.

Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?
Warriors are divided into five basic levels: refining the skin, refining the flesh, refining the bones, refining the organs, and refining the blood.

If one can refine internal strength after mastering blood training, he can be called a qualified internal strength martial artist.

Above the ninth level of internal strength, one can achieve the unity of man and nature and be called a martial arts master.

Grandmaster is the upper limit of what Xie An can know.

Qingwu County was a small place, not to mention the Wuqiao Town under its jurisdiction. For Xie An, who had never been out of Qingwu County, it was not easy to gather such knowledge.

"With my current physical strength, I should be considered quite capable of fighting anyone below the level of a warrior. But if I were to encounter a warrior, I would still be powerless against him."

"If I can become a warrior in the future... I'll be a high-ranking official in Wuqiao Town. I might even be able to move to the county town..."

Xie An was full of beautiful expectations for the future.

However, it is very difficult to implement it.

If I were under 20, with this body, the Chen Clan Martial Arts School would definitely be eager to hire me. They might even give me a tuition waiver.

But I am too old...

Society throughout history has been very unfriendly to the elderly.

"There's still one month left before the three-month deadline given by Master Li. I have plenty of time. Let's go buy some medicine first."

Without the help of medicine, practicing qigong would be too slow and not worth the effort.

Xie An hurriedly ate breakfast, put on his clothes and slipped out.

I met Zhang Bing on the way.

"Master, you look much younger..."

Zhang Bing was shocked when he saw Xie An's appearance.

During this period, Zhang Bing had treated himself as the shop's head waiter, bossing the shop assistants around and stealing the show. He hadn't even visited Xie An in the backyard, and he truly believed Xie An was dying of old age.

I didn't expect that this master not only looks more energetic, but also looks younger! ?

"I'm in a good mood lately, and I feel more energetic. Go ahead and get busy."

Xie An replied indifferently and left.

By now, Xie An no longer took this evil-minded disciple seriously and devoted all his attention to practicing martial arts.

Wait until the moon is full, then come and deal with this guy.

……

"Strange, thank you, brother. You must have taken some magic medicine. You look really young now."

Chen He was amazed when he saw Xie An's appearance.

He was born into a martial arts family and practiced health-preserving exercises in his old age. However, it was of little use. Now, seeing the changes in Xie An, he was deeply stimulated.

"Give me three doses of Shengqi Decoction." Xie An had finished his first batch of supplementary medicine half a month ago, and he had come back for more. This was his third time buying medicine.

Money is spent like water.

If practicing a health-preserving exercise is this expensive, I wonder how much it costs to practice martial arts...

As Chen He prepared the medicine, he said, "There's no big discount this time. I'll give you three taels of silver."

"to make."

Xie An readily paid for the medicine and handed Chen He an extra two taels of silver. "By the way, Shopkeeper Chen, is that health-care master you mentioned earlier here?"

Chen He did not accept the extra two taels of silver, but handed Xie An a wooden sign, "I'm here. I'm giving a class in the backyard of the martial arts hall. Just take the sign and go in."

"Shopkeeper Chen, this silver..."

"I took the jade ruyi to the big pawnshop in the county town and sold it for twenty taels. The money from the medicine shop needs to be recorded, so I can't give you a big discount. These two taels of money for the lecture are considered as a treat for Brother Xie."

"Shopkeeper Chen is generous."

Xie An took the silver and walked to the gate of Chen's martial arts school next door with the wooden sign.

"stop!"

A sturdy man wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and carrying a sword reached out to stop Xie An, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

If it were before, Xie An would really feel guilty facing such a strong man with a sword at close range.

Now looking at this guy, he was nothing special. Instead, he began to think: Seven or eight punches should be enough to knock this guy down, right?

Although he thought so in his heart, Xie An was still very humble and took out the wooden sign and handed it over.

The man with the knife examined the wooden sign and looked at Xie An in surprise, "Follow me."
