"In three days."
"Okay, see you in three days!"
Zhu Wushi threw down a sentence, then turned and left the Ping An Inn.
Li Chengqian maintained his smile as he watched Zhu Wushi's retreating figure.
But no one knows what thoughts are hidden beneath Li Chengqian's smile.
The only thing everyone knew was that a bloody battle would take place at Ping An Inn three days later.
Chapter 421 The Uncultivable Longevity Technique, Huang Rong Wants to Practice the Plain Girl Scripture
After Zhu Wushi left, Li Chengqian gently waved his folding fan and said, "Now, I don't think anyone has any questions."
"In that case, let me first talk about the Longevity Manual, one of the four great books of the Sui Dynasty."
"I'm sure you all know something about the Longevity Technique."
"Why don't you all first tell me the origin of the longevity formula you've heard about?"
Most people were completely bewildered by Li Chengqian's words.
Although the Longevity Manual is known as one of the four great books of the Sui Dynasty, this legendary book is not well understood by most people.
At this moment, the Sunflower Ancestor in the corridor of the Tianzi Building suddenly said, "Legend has it that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor asked Su Nu for advice on bedroom arts and the way to maintain health."
"Therefore, Su Nu passed down the Su Nu Jing and the Chang Sheng Jue."
"But as time goes by, the Su Nu Jing has become a model for newlyweds to study, but the Chang Sheng Jue has been lost."
Upon hearing the explanation from the Sunflower Ancestor, many martial arts practitioners were astonished by the origin of the "Three-Seven-Three" Life-Growth Technique.
But then, a dissenting voice emerged.
"Although there is one theory about the origin of the Longevity Formula, I think another legend is more consistent."
"The Longevity Manual was written by Guang Chengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Masters of antiquity. The book is cast with black gold threads, so it will not get wet in water or burn in fire."
"We have just seen the Longevity Manual in Mr. Li's hand, and its characteristics are exactly as described in the legend."
After speaking, Wanwan bowed to the Sunflower Ancestor.
Upon seeing this, the Sunflower Ancestor immediately said, "Rumors in the world cannot come from nowhere."
"I also discovered that there were disagreements about the origin of this longevity formula, but it has been so long that it is impossible to verify."
"Now, perhaps only Mr. Li can explain the whole story."
After he finished speaking, everyone's attention shifted from Sunflower Patriarch to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian chuckled softly, "Actually, neither of you is wrong."
"There are indeed two versions of the Longevity Formula. The first one to create the Longevity Formula was Guang Chengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of ancient times."
"The second one is the Ancient Maiden."
"This matter is rather complicated, so please allow me to explain it slowly."
"In ancient times, Guang Chengzi accidentally entered a place of great opportunity and comprehended the secret of immortality there."
"This longevity manual is written in oracle bone script, and the book is cast from black gold thread, so it will not get wet in water or burn in fire."
"However, Guang Chengzi was the teacher of the Yellow Emperor. After creating such a wonderful book, he must have passed it on to his disciples."
"But this longevity technique is extremely mysterious, and it has a flaw that is not exactly a flaw."
"The Yellow Emperor was also extremely troubled. Just then, Guang Chengzi went on a journey, so the Yellow Emperor had no choice but to consult another wise woman, Su Nu."
After speaking, Li Chengqian picked up his teacup, took a sip, and rested for a while.
However, the inn was already in an uproar.
"what?"
"How could the Longevity Formula have flaws?"
"Didn't Mr. Li say that the Longevity Formula is a destiny to immortality?"
"What are your ears for? Didn't Mr. Li say that this is just a defect that isn't really a defect?"
A heated debate ensued in the inn, and the three people in room number three of the "Heavenly" section also became interested.
Young Master Huang glanced at the Longevity Manual beside Li Chengqian and said, "Mr. Li said that the Longevity Manual has a flaw that is not really a flaw."
"What do you two think is the flaw?"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Zhao thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be about matters between men and women."
"After all, according to legend, Su Nu passed down the 'Longevity Secret' and the 'Su Nu Classic' together."
Upon hearing this conjecture, Young Master Song smiled and said, "Young Master Zhao is quick-witted; I had the same thought."
"As for the specific results, let's wait for Mr. Li to reveal them."
The argument in the inn quieted down a bit, and Li Chengqian spoke again: "The flaw in this Longevity Technique is actually related to its cultivation method."
"One of the key techniques of the Longevity Manual is refining essence into qi, and the essence and blood in the human body are the key to the harmony of yin and yang."
"If there is a lack of essence and blood, no offspring can be born between a man and a woman."
"The Yellow Emperor was aware of the reason at the time, which is why he sought a solution from Su Nu."
"However, Su Nu's talent is also unparalleled. She actually came up with a way to both cultivate the Longevity Technique and continue her lineage."
"At the same time, she also translated Guang Chengzi's secret of longevity."
"Although the longevity formula created by Guang Chengzi is profound, it requires too much comprehension from the practitioner."
"Su Nu translated it, which greatly reduced the difficulty of cultivation."
"Unfortunately, the Longevity Manual contains the mysteries of heaven and earth, and its subtleties cannot be expressed by a single language."
"The second edition of the Longevity Manual written by Su Nu contains 7,400 different characters. Countless sages read this book and only translated more than 3,000 of them."
Qi 2 5 7 6 3 6 pa
"Then the sages wrote the annotations of the translated Longevity Manual on the original text of the Longevity Manual."
"This is how the secret to longevity was created."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian pointed to the Longevity Manual beside him.
Everyone in the inn was stunned. It turned out that both legends were true, and there were such convoluted stories behind them.
This is something that probably only Mr. Li knows about.
At the counter, after hearing the profound mystery of the Longevity Formula, Huang Rong rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Li, what about the ancient goddess Su Nu's solution to the minor flaws of the Longevity Formula?"
"The solution might be the 'Su Nu Jing' (Classic of Plain Girl) that she passed down."
"That's right, it's the 'Su Nu Jing' (Classic of Plain Girl), but as time goes by, only a few parts of the 'Su Nu Jing' have been passed down."
"Mr. Li, do you know the ancient version of the Su Nu Jing?"
"I want to learn."
puff!
Li Chengqian, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea, and some of the older martial arts practitioners in the inn also looked up at the sky.
At this moment, Huang Rong still did not understand where the problem lay.
"The Ancient Plain Maiden Scripture is a dual cultivation technique, unlike other techniques that are simply about circulating true qi."
"In other words, this skill cannot be practiced alone, at least not while wearing clothes."
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong immediately understood the reason.
I originally thought that cultivating the Su Nu Jing was just about two people placing their palms together, and I didn't know what kind of things I had to do to cultivate it!
Huang Rong's face instantly turned red, and she squatted down and hid behind the counter, refusing to come out no matter what.
The innkeepers smiled without saying a word, assuming that Mr. Li most likely knew the Su Nu Jing (素女经).
As for the mystery behind it...
It is not something that can be told to outsiders.
After a moment, the innkeepers' attention shifted from what had just happened back to the Longevity Formula.
"Mr. Li, according to you, there are two longevity manuals on this golden silk armor?"
"Yes, one is a version written by Guang Chengzi, and the other is an annotated version translated by Su Nu."
"But no matter how you cultivate the Longevity Technique, you will all go astray?"
"why?"
Can you distinguish between the two versions of the text here?
"Guang Chengzi's version was only understood by Su Nu and Guang Chengzi himself from beginning to end. Can you do it?"
"In Su Nu's version, only half of the seven thousand characters are on it. What kind of skill can be mastered by only learning half of it?"
"Mr. Li, can you tell the difference?"
"Yes!"
“But I only said the Longevity Formula was the reward; I didn’t say I would help you translate it.”
""
Holy crap!!!
Chapter 422 The Unruly Li Chengqian, the Temporary Medical Team Takes Action
Li Chengqian's words plunged the entire inn into silence.
To be honest, although Li Chengqian liked to do this from time to time.
But even after so much time has passed, whenever people think back on it, they still can't help but want to hang Li Chengqian up and beat him.
Unfortunately, Li Chengqian's strength was such that no single person could defeat him.
However, Li Chengqian ignored the resentment of the crowd, instead smiling and saying, "Actually, I think you all don't need to take these trivial matters to heart."
"Don't you care where Guang Chengzi got his opportunity?"
