Since there was a cultivation technique that complemented the Eight Steps of Vajra Technique, Zhou Mu naturally would not waste his time choosing other cultivation techniques.
Although there were a hundred flowers blooming on the Internet, everything could be found, such as the famous health exercises "Ba Duan Jin" and "Wu Qin Xi". Not only could they be found, but there were also various versions.
Wudang, Shaolin, standing, sitting, even 12 Duan Jin, 16 Duan Jin, and so on…
Not only that, but each edition was also modified and deleted according to the author's own experience.
These versions were uneven and needed to be distinguished.
Although most of them were not like the martial arts manuals in novels, where practicing blindly would cause mistakes. In serious cases, one would go crazy and their tendons and meridians would be broken.
However, it would waste a lot of time. To Zhou Mu, time was what he lacked the most.
The Eight Longevity Arts was different. It was a secret of Taoism. It was created by Immortal Zi Yang eight hundred years ago and was only made public by Taoist Master Mi Jingzi. It was not like other life-preserving arts that had been derived countless times.
Moreover, he had also seen some practitioners say that the Vajra Art was only a foundation for the Art of Longevity, and the essence was in the Art of Longevity.
If that was really the case, it had the foundation of the Eight Steps Vajra Art, so practicing it might be twice the result with half the effort!
Thinking of this, Zhou Mu immediately put on his presbyopic glasses, stood up his phone, and began to follow the video on it to learn the Eight Longevity Arts.
The Eight Steps of Longevity Technique was very gentle and not as fierce as the Eight Steps of Vajra Technique. Therefore, the range of movements was relatively small. It was more inclined to the still technique, which was to go from movement to stillness. The later the movement, the smaller the range, especially the last four steps. It was really difficult to distinguish them from the still technique, so he did not have to worry about his glasses falling off during practice.
" Stealing Kunlun longevity wine, left liver and right lung are like shooting eagles, hands, feet, front and back, kidney and waist."
First, he followed the video and recited the incantation of the Eight-volume Longevity Art a few times to calm himself down.
Then, he began to practice.
After practicing it once, he felt that some parts of his body were slightly hot. There was no discomfort, so he slowly practiced it again.
He only stopped when a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Although the Eight Steps of Longevity was used for gentle strength and will, and his movements were slow and coherent, light and gentle, he had just practiced the Vajra Art once and now practiced the Longevity Art twice. He had already reached his limit.
After adjusting his breathing, he walked to the armchair and sat down. He summoned the attribute panel again.
Name: Zhou Mu
Age: 81
[Lifespan: 34 days]
[Stamina: 3.1 (Strength, Endurance, Speed, Agility related.]）
[Energy: 2.9 (related to primordial qi, thoughts, consciousness, and emotions.]）
[Cultivation Techniques: Eight Steps Vajra Technique (Small Success 1/200), Eight Steps Longevity Technique (Beginner 1/100)]
[Attribute Points: 0]
Zhou Mu carefully observed the attribute panel.
His lifespan still did not increase.
Then, he looked down. His stamina and energy had not changed at all.
However, in the cultivation technique column, there was an additional Eight Volume Longevity Technique.
"Although the various values have not changed, the Longevity Art has been recorded in the attribute panel. At least this means that this cultivation technique is real and effective."
Moreover, he saw an option to merge the cultivation techniques.
[Eight Vajra Technique] and [Eight Longevity Technique] have met the merger requirements. Do you want to merge them?]
"These two cultivation techniques can actually be combined because they have the same root?”
Zhou Mu was a little surprised to see this option.
After some consideration, he decided to merge the Eight Vajra Techniques and the Eight Longevity Techniques together.
After choosing to merge, the words of the Eight Steps Vajra Technique and the Eight Steps Longevity Technique disappeared at the same time, and a new line of words appeared.
[Cultivation Method: Vajra Longevity Art (Beginner 51/100)]
The other values did not change. Only the cultivation technique had changed to the Vajra Longevity Art, and the proficiency had also changed to (Beginner 51/100).
At the same time, Zhou Mu felt an unfamiliar memory appear in his mind. This memory contained the basic understanding of the Vajra Longevity Art and the method of practicing it.
He could clearly feel that the [Vajra Longevity Art] that had appeared after the fusion was clearly more profound and obscure than the original [Eight Steps Vajra Art] and [Eight Steps Longevity Art].
This was also within expectations. The fusion of the two cultivation techniques would definitely become an even more profound cultivation technique.
"The cultivation technique is more profound than before. Correspondingly, the effect will definitely be improved. I just don't know how much it has improved.”
Zhou Mu was a little excited. If his body had not reached its limit, he would have stood up and practiced the new Vajra Longevity Art again.
"I didn't find any information on the internet that these two cultivation techniques could be combined. Although they are also called the Vajra Longevity Art, they refer to the Vajra Art and the Longevity Art."
"In other words, it's very likely that I'm the only one in this world who knows this 'Vajra Longevity Art'?”
"I just don't know. The 'Vajra Longevity Art' originally existed in this world. Later on, it was split into two cultivation techniques…Or was it because of the interface that it could be synthesized into a cultivation technique?”
Many questions arose in Zhou Mu's heart.
Unfortunately, he was still unable to understand the mysteries of this, so he could only put these doubts aside for now.
............
At night, Zhou Mu steamed some rice and stir-fried some cabbage as usual for dinner.
Perhaps it was because he was practicing his cultivation technique, but Zhou Mu actually finished a big bowl of rice and a small plate of cabbage.
He was still a little hungry, so he made a bowl of noodles and a boiled egg. After eating them all, the hunger in his stomach subsided.
Such an appetite was normal for a young man, but for an 80-year-old man who was about to die, it was really unbelievable.
"Although there is no direct increase in the value, such a change shows that practice is really useful."
Zhou Mu was overjoyed.
This meant that his body was developing for the better and needed more nutrients to replenish his body.
After dinner, Zhou Mu went down the mountain for a walk.
Considering that his body was starting to need nutrition, he planned to go to town to buy some high-protein foods such as chicken, duck, fish, and so on.
The Taoist temple was two kilometers away from the town. Normally, he would have called a car to go to town, but today, he chose to walk to Songluo Town to buy food.
It was very quiet along the way, accompanied only by the chirping of insects in the forest beside the road. He could still vaguely see the smoke rising from the town ahead.
When he arrived at Songluo Town, he went straight to the supermarket in the town center. There was a market right in front of the supermarket, so it was very convenient to buy anything.
Soon, Zhou Mu finished his shopping. He bought eggs, a bag of rice, chicken, and beef. He also went to the supermarket to buy a box of milk.
Although his predecessor did not have a source of income and had no relatives in the town, he did not have much of a problem in terms of living with the various subsidies given to the elderly like him by the state.
After buying the things, Zhou Mu did not choose to walk back. After all, he still had a big bag of things in his hand. He called a taxi in town to send him back to the Taoist temple.
After getting out of the car, the driver helped him move all kinds of things back to the Taoist temple.
Although Zhou Mu did not have the abilities of his former master, he was still very famous in Songluo Town as an old Taoist priest who lived alone in a Taoist temple.
After all, the countryside still retained the concept of clan. Everyone more or less had some kinship, so they were very respectful to the respected elders, especially Zhou Mu who had the identity of a Taoist priest.
"Old Master, you bought so much food. Are you going to eat it alone? Isn't that a little too much?"
the driver said after moving the things.
"It's alright. I eat a lot during my training now. Besides, I'm not afraid of the fridge breaking.”
Zhou Mu smiled.
"Practice? Old Master, you're still practicing at your age?”
The driver was obviously a little surprised, but then he seemed to have thought of something."What kind of martial art do you practice? Daoist Qigong?"
"The Vajra Longevity Art is considered a Daoist Qigong Daoyin Art.”
Zhou Mu nodded.
The driver was a little excited when he got the answer."Taoist priest, can this martial art really produce qi? Can you teach me?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I didn't cultivate it, but it can indeed maintain one's health and prolong one's life.”
Zhou Mu thought for a moment and said truthfully.
Although these health exercises could be called qigong, and some people claimed to have cultivated Qi, he did not cultivate it himself, so he could not determine whether it was true or not. The lifespan extension was verified by the interface.
"If you want to learn, you can come here every morning and evening and practice with me.”
"Then I'll practice with you when I'm free."
Hearing Zhou Mu say that he could only maintain his health and prolong his life, the driver seemed to be a little disappointed and lost interest.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while more before the driver left. As for the other party's attitude, Zhou Mu could see it, but he did not care much. This was a long-term relationship. If it was him in the past, he would have done the same.
