I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 5: Reincarnation

Li Ming was 25 years old. He defeated the barbarians from all directions, expanded the territory, was promoted to the first rank, and was awarded the golden armor by the emperor. If it were not for the ancestor's instruction that people with different surnames could not be made kings, Li Ming would have already become a king.

Of course, the main reason why the emperor bestowed such generous gifts was that Li Ming firmly grasped the military power in his own hands. He had heard the story of "the bow is put away after the bird is killed" so many times that his ears were callused.

At this point, all the people in the country were convinced and all nations came to pay tribute to the Great Qi. Li Ming arranged everything and retired to study martial arts.

Li Ming was thirty-two years old. His Qi and blood had undergone three changes. His blood coagulation was real and it flowed like mercury. He exerted all his strength and the Qi and blood in his body sounded like a galloping horse. His strength was like that of an elephant and he could outrun tigers and leopards. He sighed and said that the road of martial arts in this world had come to an end.

Another ten years passed, and Li Ming was 42 years old. He wanted to control his Qi and blood and transform them into a big pill, but due to the weakness of Qi and blood, he failed and was seriously injured. His hair turned white prematurely. He asked the current emperor to resign, but his request was not granted.

Three years later, the old master passed away and Li Ming resigned again. The new emperor agreed and gave him ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, a red-lettered iron certificate, and conferred him the title of Duke. He returned home and never asked about court affairs again.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Ming looked at his panel again

[Evaluation: An old man whose youth is gradually fading away]

"My physical condition has deteriorated a little bit again, ahem." Li Ming shook the palm-leaf fan in his hand, leaned back in the recliner, looked at the sunset and fell into deep thought.

Although he had fought his way out of the army that year, he had repeatedly stimulated his Qi and blood to increase his strength. Even with the foundation laid by the main world's martial arts and the nourishment and repair of true Qi, his body still suffered irreversible damage.

That year, he made a desperate attempt to condense a Qi and blood elixir according to ancient methods. However, due to his old age and too many injuries in his early years, and even the possibility of other ulterior motives, he failed on the verge of success. After that incident, not only were his injuries difficult to heal, but his lifespan was also greatly shortened.

Now he is only forty-six years old, but his temples are gray and his face is covered with wrinkles, as if he is sixty years old. Moreover, his physical condition has been declining. Even if his body has undergone three transformations of qi and blood, if he wants to take action now, he is afraid that the two years of life he has left will not be enough.

“There is no way in this world, no way.”

Li Ming sighed and simply closed his eyes, no longer concentrating on controlling his energy and blood. He let it flow rapidly and his strength gradually increased.

Li Ming laughed three times, slapped the recliner and jumped up, completely ignoring the fact that the lifespan on the panel was decreasing rapidly. Instead, he seriously practiced the Arhat Fist that the Guangde Temple novices learned.

The head is like waves, the hands are like shooting stars, the body is like willows, and the feet are like drunkards. It comes from the mind and originates from the nature. It seems hard but not hard, seems real but empty. With long practice, it will become natural and become supernatural.

"Boy Worshiping Buddha"

"Spreading the Wings of the Great Peng"

Black Tiger Leaping Over the Stream

"Holding the Moon in My Arms"

Li Ming fought every move from dusk to night, and this time he fought extremely seriously. After he failed to condense the great elixir, his qi and blood were almost exhausted. In order to preserve his qi and blood, he did not even practice boxing once, let alone fight against the enemy. Now that he was about to die, he finally let go and didn't care about the loss of qi and blood.

At first, Li Ming almost fell to the ground, but then he felt more and more comfortable as he practiced. The blood rushed throughout his body, as if time had gone back. Li Ming's eyes became bright, the wrinkles on his face were smoothed by the wind, the age spots faded, and his palms, which were bent like eagle claws, became powerful.

And after completing this set of boxing techniques, his life span, which had been declining rapidly, stopped flowing and stopped at the number 49.

Li Ming stood with his hands behind his back, feeling very moved. He somehow recalled the scene in The Legend of the Condor Heroes where Hong Qigong was stranded on a deserted island.

Hong Qigong was a top external martial artist. He was attacked by Ouyang Feng, his tendons and veins were broken, and he was also poisoned by a snake, almost losing his life. He spent every day on a deserted island trying to force out the poison. Later, he gained some insights from the Nine Yin Scriptures from Guo Jing.

[Perfect understanding of concentration and wisdom, the body and function are both at peace, moving yet still, peaceful despite being disturbed]

I practice the martial arts of this world, which are originally external skills. Even though my qi and blood are declining, the more I cultivate, the more difficult it is to recover. If I had realized this earlier, I might have made further progress, but it is too late now.
Li Ming then sighed and said, "Although this isn't my prime, it's better than waiting to die on a sickbed. In this final year, let me see the world again."

Li Ming then left a letter, took some money, and left at night.

He had already made arrangements for the Zhu family's funeral. Zhu's father and mother had passed away, and he had no blood relatives. Other sons and nephews and younger generations could only enjoy the virtues of their ancestors within three generations, but who would take care of them after a hundred years? Now he had no worries and could go on his own.

In the last year, Li Ming concealed his identity, traveled around the world, climbed thousands of feet high mountains, and roamed around the world. He lived a very enjoyable life.

One day, Li Ming climbed over a high mountain and came to a broad river. At that moment, a small boat came along the river. Li Ming shouted, "Boatman, I want to cross the river!"

An old man with a thin face and wearing a straw raincoat on the small boat responded and rowed the boat over. Li Ming took out a dime of silver from his arms and stepped onto the boat.

There are green mountains on both sides, buzzing bees, surging waves, and boats rocking on the clear water.

As if he felt something, Li Ming suddenly smiled and let out a long hum.

A boat is light, its oars startling wild geese. The water and sky are clear, their shadows azure and the waves smooth. Fish swim in the algae mirror, herons dot the misty shore. Crossing the swift sandy stream, the frost stream is cold, the moon stream is bright. Layers of scenery resemble paintings, curves like screens. Back then, I remembered the old Yan Ling. Life is but a dream, a name now and then. But the distant mountains stretch far, the clouds and mountains are chaotic, the morning hills are green.

Although the boatman had never been able to read or write, he felt that the poem was a truly beautiful scene. He could not help but say "good" and turned around to talk to the passenger, but saw that the passenger was leaning against the side with his eyes lowered, and was silent.

No one would have thought that a legend in the history of the Great Qi would end his life like this.

[This cycle has ended, settlement in progress, please wait.]

[Evaluation of this reincarnation: Small achievement.]

[Reward: 80 points]

【The available entries are as follows】

[Best in both literature and martial arts (Green): You have extraordinary achievements in both literature and martial arts. Comprehension +3, Constitution +3. The two complement each other. Your literary studies will benefit your martial arts, and vice versa.]

[Firearm Pioneer (White): As a firearm inventor, the firearms you create or use will gain greater destructive power.]

[Reaching the pinnacle of officialdom (white): You increase the probability of being born into an official family.]

[Traveler (White): You've traveled all over the country, so it's easier for you to adapt to your surroundings.]

[Death (White): You peacefully reached the end of your life, without feeling any pain.]

[Settlement completed, memory fuzzy processing in progress, processing completed]

Li Ming was in a trance, and his memory of Zhu Chang's life became much more blurred. When he was still in it before, he felt completely immersed in it, as if he was living in a third life. But after he left it, although everything about Zhu Chang was still in his mind, it had changed. It became like a game he had played and had a deep impact on him. Everything in it was clearly in his mind, but many daily events could not be remembered at all unless he recalled them carefully.

Then Li Ming smiled and expressed his approval of this point. This was only a few reincarnations. If he didn't do this, he would probably forget who he was if it happened a few more times. He didn't know when he would sink into it and be unable to extricate himself.

Then Li Ming focused his attention on the harvest this time. He frowned when he saw the evaluation. I am considered to be recorded in history after all. Why is it so embarrassing? It is just a small achievement.
On second thought, Yu Zheng did not rebel to seize the world and was willing to be a minister. Yu Wen basically stopped writing articles after he was 20 years old. Although Yu Wu had pushed his energy to the end, he did not innovate and could not even be considered unprecedented. No wonder he was not highly regarded.

This time's entry is still not excellent, but it is much better than the last [Early Death] and [Poverty].

The entries in the entry library will cost double points to obtain next time, so obtaining them now is equivalent to a 50% discount. You will lose a lot if you don’t buy them.

As soon as Li Ming had an idea, the price automatically appeared behind the entry.

[Civil and Military Talents] 60 points, [Firearms Pioneer] 10 points, [Highest Position] 5 points, [Traveler] 10 points, [Natural Death] 5 points.

There is no doubt that [Civil and Military] is the most expensive, but there is a reason for its high price. From a long-term perspective, this entry can bring the greatest benefits.

[Firearms Pioneer] Li Ming, who had memories, was certain that he could also recreate it in the main world, but he didn't know how much of an increase this entry could bring. However, according to his memories, let alone the muskets he simply made, even those modern firearms might not necessarily pose a threat to those martial arts masters. However, the benefit was that it could allow him to start faster next time and more easily have the power to protect himself.

[The Highest Official] Needless to say, one can get a better start, at least he won't be starved to death so easily. In his first life, he died inexplicably due to a disaster, leaving Li Ming unable to complain.

[Traveler] Actually, Li Ming really wants it, but he feels that it is unnecessary and a bit useless. When he can travel around, the strength he possesses will not easily make him suffer from acclimatization problems.

What is "died of old age"? It's euthanasia, right?
After thinking about it, I exchanged [Civil and Military Talents] first, and then [The Highest Official in the Country]. I didn't exchange the others.

[Points -65]

[The entry has been included, loading, loading completed]

Only then did Li Ming discover that he had his own character panel.

Name: Mingxin

Age: 16
Life span: 88
Health: 160/160
Stamina: 160/160
Constitution: 16
Fuyuan: 2
Perception: 11
Root bone: 3
Entry: [Civil and Military]

[Evaluation: A young novice monk in Guangde Temple]

PS: Many people say that they should choose a long and peaceful death. Let me explain here that this entry is divided into two sentences. The former is the result of your life, and the latter is the effect of this entry, not both.

In other words, the first half of the sentence, that you reach the end of your life peacefully is the achievement of this life, and that you do not feel pain when you die is the effect of this entry.

The same is basically true for other entries. For example, for Traveler, traveling all over the country is an achievement in this life, and being able to adapt to the environment more easily is the effect of the entry, which will not be explained later.
