Chapter 98 If you want to live forever, just marry Wei Xi.

Summer, time has passed, and half a year has passed.

Li Changsheng sat in the courtyard, looking at the nameless secret book that he had read thousands of times, pondering every word carefully, and at the same time corroborating it with the Taoist scriptures he had read in his previous life.

He discovered that the practice method recorded in the nameless secret book was different from the practice in his imagination. It cultivated a kind of Qi, a thing that clearly existed, called spiritual energy. He absorbed it into Dantian and circulated the Great Zhoutian.

You can increase your cultivation level.

"What is Qi? Why can't I feel it? Don't I have the qualifications?"

Wei Xi described his practice. At the beginning, he absorbed spiritual energy and saw ants crawling on the skin, and then entered the Dantian. Half a month later, he felt a feeling of energy moving on the thicker meridians, which felt like earthworms slowly wriggling.

.

After practicing for two months, the Qi can raise the body temperature and a warmth appears in the Dantian.

From this, he could deduce that Wei Xi's cultivation level was improving with every change in her aura, and her body was obviously healthier than before. Her combat effectiveness at night had also increased, and if she continued like this, she might fall behind.

Li Changsheng felt an inexplicable urgency, but he quickly suppressed this anxiety. This kind of thing cannot be rushed, and even if it is rushed, nothing can be changed.

He must be prepared for the worst, maybe he doesn't have the qualifications to practice at all.

"Brother Li."

A man dressed as a scholar walked in. From the exquisite satin clothes on his body and the jade pendant around his waist, it could be seen that this man had a very rich family background.

"Long time no see, I came to visit you today."

"It turns out it's Brother Liang. What do you mean by bothering you? You're living in such a humble place?" Li Changsheng stood up and pretended to be enthusiastic.

He had clearly seen this group of friends from what had happened before, but in order to keep these contacts, he sometimes had to pretend to be affectionate.

The waves caused by the new emperor's ascension to the throne have completely subsided. Once the limelight passed, the friends Li Changsheng had made in the past came to see him one after another.

Naturally, they are not here to reminisce about old times or make up for feelings, but they want him to start his old business. Go to Qingguan brothels and other places to write poems and help them win the hearts of courtesans. Naturally, they can get money for this.

It's all earned from these young men.

Li Changsheng refused this time. Although he often went to such places with them before, for the sake of his own safety, he never went to whoring once to avoid contracting the disease.

Besides, he is already married now, and he cannot go to such a romantic place. This has nothing to do with action, but a kind of respect for his wife. It may be a bit difficult for others to understand, but the literati go to visit brothels.

How come an elegant thing becomes dirty and dirty when it comes to you?

He has declined several invitations in the past few days.

The scholar said: "I wonder if Brother Li has the idea of ​​re-entering the official career? With your talent, you will definitely be able to accomplish a lot if you enter the temple. You were framed by villains before, but now you have an opportunity waiting for you."

How did he know I was framed?

Li Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly became wary. The county magistrate's matter was discussed in private, and basically no one except the participants would know about it, and he himself did not dare to tell it.

Now that the county guard has been uprooted and all his cronies have been beheaded, it stands to reason that he is the only one who knows about the county guard's rural examination fraud.

Liang Xin's father is a small county magistrate, so he shouldn't have the energy to dig out his affairs.

"Thank you Brother Liang for your kindness. I have exhausted my talents and no longer want to pursue an official career." Li Changsheng shook his head. In any case, he had no interest in an official career.

"Maybe it's not bad to live like this for the rest of your life."

Liang Xin was stunned. He obviously did not expect that the other party would refuse. It stands to reason that in Li Changsheng's situation, he should be very eager to restore his qualifications for the imperial examination.

He quickly came back to his senses and said again: "Brother Li, don't belittle yourself. I have ambitions in all directions. I have the ability to help you regain your qualifications for the imperial examination, and even win the top prize."

How could he, a boy who hadn't even passed the exam, speak so wildly?

has a problem.

Li Changsheng asked: "Brother Liang is actually so capable?"

"No, it's not me." Liang Xin shook his head slightly, "Someone is willing to help you, as long as you leave your wife, or persuade her to leave."

Before he finished speaking, Li Changsheng frowned, stood up and put his hands on the other party's shoulders, with a hint of danger on his face.

Although he is a scholar, he has also practiced some farm tricks, and he is quite strong not to mention his huge back and waist.

"Brother Liang, in order to avoid misunderstanding, you'd better explain clearly."

"Brother Li, calm down, it's not what you think." Liang Xin was a little panicked for a moment when he was caught, and the slightly superior attitude just now disappeared.

"Listen to my explanation, it's not that someone wants to break you up. No, it seems that they do want to break you up, but it's not what you think. They are not ordinary people, they are immortals."

Hearing the word "immortal", Li Changsheng felt his heart skip a beat, and there was a surge of excitement in his heart, followed by a bad premonition.

It would be great to meet people who are cultivating immortals. You might be able to ask for advice and lead yourself into Taoism. Even if it doesn't work, it would be an eye-opener.

But why do you want Xi'er?

talent……

Li Changsheng recalled the speed of Wei Xi's practice. Even a layman like him could feel that it was a bit fast. Xi'er was obviously a genius, and he happened to be discovered by a passing practitioner.

This is not a good thing, they don't have any strength to resist.

At night, the two of them lay in bed in silence. They both had their eyes open when they were supposed to be sleeping, and each noticed something strange about the other.

Wei Xi was the first to speak: "Husband, some strange female Taoist priests came to me and said they wanted to take me to practice, but I refused."

"Well, I know." Li Changsheng said, "Someone came to tell me today that as long as I let you leave me, I can regain the qualifications for the imperial examination and even be the top student in high school. Haha... This practitioner is more powerful than I thought. No wonder he is ordinary.

There is no way to reach them.”

"I also refused."

Wei Xi hugged him slightly, and Li Changsheng could feel her slightly trembling body.

"I'm so scared. It would be easy for them to break us up."

"At least they asked for your opinion, it's obviously not evil." Li Changsheng comforted him, but his mood did not relax because of this, and instead became more and more heavy.

Human patience is limited.

It was another spring, and Li Changsheng got up as usual. As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw several people wearing Taoist robes and bamboo hats whose faces could not be seen standing in the yard.

You can tell from their bodies that they are all women.

They were no longer patient. As expected, practitioners were different and had to wait for a full year.

During this year, Li Changsheng regained his qualifications for the imperial examination. The new county governor personally came to Qingshui Village to invite him to take the exam. Some dignitaries wanted to make friends with him... Such changes did not make Li Changsheng happy, but he was overwhelmed.

The power of cultivators is stronger than they imagined, and their status is more aloof than anything else, and ordinary officials will look at their faces.

"Li Guanren, it's time to make a break. You and Wei Xi are not suitable for each other. You have no qualifications for practicing. This year, you can't feel any Qi, and your wife has reached the peak of Qi training."

"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. If you continue to drag it out, it will only harm the two of you."

Li Changsheng bowed his hands and said respectfully: "That's what the Taoist Master said."

After a year of delay, these people still haven't taken action, so they are obviously not treacherous people. Continuing to delay will not do any good to Wei Xi.

If you are an eagle, you should spread your wings and fly high.

Another night, the couple still didn't fall asleep until midnight.

This time Li Changsheng was the first to speak: "Go Xi'er, they shouldn't be evil people."

"What will you do if I go?" Wei Xi said in a low voice, "We agreed to practice together..."

"When I succeed in my practice, I will find you."

"You lied to me, they said you have no talent for cultivation." Wei Xi held on to his clothes tightly. After being guided by those people, her strength made Li Changsheng irresistible.

Li Changsheng understood this very early. Wei Xi has become more and more otherworldly and powerful since she started practicing. However, she still looks weak in front of him and has never really resisted.

Rather than worrying about her own feelings, she was more deceiving herself and denying the difference between immortals and mortals.

"Go." Li Changsheng held her in his arms, "I will wait for you here."

"They also said that there is a treasure in the world that can allow people who have no cultivation qualifications to practice. They are waiting for me to come back."

That winter, Wei Xi left, and Li Changsheng lived in that small courtyard as before.

When snowflakes fell in winter, Li Changsheng sat in the yard, snowflakes hitting his hair.

He was not afraid of the cold and flipped through the secret book, page after page. Those who practice said that what was recorded here was the most basic Qi refining technique.

In spring, the jujube trees bloom, and a faint fragrance penetrates the nostrils.

Li Changsheng was going through the Qi Training Techniques. His clothes already had some holes, his chin had some stubble, and his hair was a little messy.

In summer, the ivy outside the courtyard has climbed to his feet, and the leaves of the jujube tree have blocked the scorching sun.

Another winter, a servant of the Wei family broke into this slightly desolate courtyard and walked towards the man with disheveled hair and patched clothes, who looked like a beggar.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Wei is seriously ill and wants to see you."

Li Changsheng was stunned for a long time, his empty eyes gained some color, and he stood up from the stone bench.

"take me."

In the Wei family's mansion, due to some unknown reasons, the Wei family had several successful candidates. It can be said that it soared to the sky and became a famous family. Li Changsheng has relied entirely on the Wei family's support in these years.

The whole mansion naturally became very magnificent.
