“Uncle-Master, it’s getting late. Let’s stay at a nearby hotel for now and see if we can stay at Longhu Mountain tomorrow,” Li Dao said, glancing at the sky.
The high-speed train arrived at the station at exactly 6 p.m., so it was getting dark and only a little twilight remained.
The Taoist nun nodded.
He Xi watched quietly from the side. Her perfect face, tall figure, and long, fair legs attracted the attention of many passing passengers, and her pair of azure eyes were even more beautiful.
With such a perfect woman by his side, Miaoyu, who stood quietly to the side, paled in comparison.
Li Dao glanced at He Xi out of the corner of his eye and immediately felt a headache coming on.
What should be done with this living fossil? I'm going to Longhu Mountain myself, I can't exactly take this person with me, can I?
Sigh! Oh well, I'll just have to take it one step at a time!
No one objected to Li Dao's words, and the four of them then checked into the nearby Hongda Hotel.
boom!
After entering the room and closing the door, Li Daoxian took off his Taoist robe and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
They were all on the high-speed train and had been using the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound to cultivate, so some impurities remained on their bodies, requiring them to take a bath to cleanse themselves.
However, even after a series of trials, the progress of internal organs is very slow, and may require a long period of painstaking work, unlike the skin, flesh, tendons and bones which are simpler.
However, Li Daoneng could feel that his internal organs had become more resilient than before, and he was able to unleash more power, making him less susceptible to common internal injuries.
In addition, Li Dao was much more energetic. Even if he stayed up all night, he would not be listless the next day and would still be full of energy.
Li Dao could feel obvious changes in his internal organs, which were being tempered at all times.
According to Taoism, before a person is born, they are born with a breath of primordial energy, which resides in the five internal organs, keeping the organs pure and untainted.
Once an infant begins to cry, its innate vital energy dissipates, and its internal organs begin to be polluted by worldly impurities, making it impossible for them to remain pure and untainted.
The so-called "refining the internal organs" means purifying the internal organs and re-condensing a wisp of Qi within them.
Refining essence into qi.
Of course, all that is too far off. What Li Dao needs to do now is to temper his internal organs and cleanse them of impurities.
Thump! Thump thump!
About ten minutes later, Li Dao walked out of the bathroom wearing shorts. His wet, waterfall-like black hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his muscular physique gave him a wild and untamed look.
"Continue cultivating!" Li Dao's eyes were firm. Even though he was a little tired after sitting on the high-speed rail all the way, comfort was for the dead. Cultivation was endless, so how could he be lazy?
Li Dao didn't have the inclination to entrust his life to others, and the process of becoming stronger was truly intoxicating. He cultivated constantly and enjoyed becoming stronger every moment.
Train until you die, train until you die! As long as I am strong enough, then whether it is an angel, a demon, or even Karl or a scumbag, they are all just resources for me!
Li Dao assumed a boxing stance. He hadn't practiced boxing for a day, so he needed to warm up his muscles and bones before practicing.
When boxing reaches the realm of true essence, it's almost like grasping the essence, transcending form and spirit, because every punch is the essence of the technique, not bound by form.
Gradually, the abundant essence and massive amount of blood and qi were contained in Li Dao's body, strengthening his physique and continuing to expand his blood and qi, making it as vigorous as a red-hot furnace, burning fiercely!
Two bursts of scorching heat shot out from Li Dao's nostrils, like rising steam, then shot straight out like swords, and then rolled up like a piece of cloth, the heat slowly dissipating.
Li Dao's eyes were bright as he continued practicing his punches!
Chapter 42 Mountaineering
However, while Li Dao was cultivating, He Xi in the next room was observing him through her Eye of Insight.
"My blood temperature is rising, and my physical condition is slowly improving. Hmm? There's also a trace of dark energy flowing into my body, which should provide some kind of boost. I'm getting more and more curious."
He Xi sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, spoke softly, her voice revealing interest, and at the same time, saved Li Dao's dark data in real time to her dark database.
He Xi plans to stay by Li Dao's side for a long time, and then secretly observe and try to study his data.
Compared to the entire known universe, people like Li Dao, who become powerful through their own efforts and are beyond my control, are the ones who deserve my attention.
Because of the Eye of Insight, it is basically able to peer into the dark data of the known universe.
Therefore, apart from not being able to peek into the secrets of certain people, there are no more secrets in the known universe.
"Climbing the mountain tomorrow would be a good opportunity for observation." He Xi thought that Li Dao and the other two would climb Longhu Mountain tomorrow, and during the climb, they could also record the other party's hidden data.
……
The next morning.
The sky was bright, the morning sun was rising slowly, and rays of dawn shone through the window.
At this moment, wisps of blood energy emanated from Li Dao's body, like ancient signal smoke, rising and disappearing without a trace, vanishing within three inches of him.
This is a sign that Qi and blood have reached their limit; Qi and blood are like smoke from a wolf's beacon!
The qi and blood can no longer be stored in the body, so they will turn into wisps of blood mist and drift out of the body. However, without the support of qi and blood, they can only dissipate into the air.
"It's dawn. Wash up first, then go wake up your junior uncle and junior sister." After saying this, Li Dao went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. After he finished, he left the room.
Boom boom boom!
Afterwards, Li Dao knocked on the doors of the three people's rooms and said, "Uncle-Master, Junior Sister Miaoyu, Layman, it's already dawn, we should head to Longhu Mountain."
Li Dao spent the entire night cultivating. Even without sleeping, he remained energetic and full of vitality, like a hardworking ox that knew no fatigue.
squeak~
He Xi didn't sleep either. As a fourth-generation divine body, she didn't need to rely on sleep to ensure her mental and physical well-being the next day, so she observed Li Dao throughout the night.
Such clandestine spying is like that of some female perverts.
Of course, strictly speaking, He Xi wasn't spying; she was watching openly. It was just that Li Dao didn't know because there was a wall between them.
"Layman." The two looked at each other, and Li Daoxian greeted them with a smile.
This is someone I can't afford to provoke. I should avoid provoking him if possible. I don't dare to drive him away either, so I can only hope that this situation can be maintained!
At this moment, both the martial uncle and Miaoyu came out of their respective rooms.
"By the way, did you hear any strange noises last night? They were humming and moaning in my next-door neighbor's room." As she spoke, He Xi glanced at Li Dao with a half-smile.
Li Dao's face darkened.
Last night I was practicing the new Six-Character Mantra, but when you, my rascal Xi, came out of it, it turned into that weird sound?
If I weren't currently outmatched, I would let the other side know and make strange noises.
"Strange sound?" The martial uncle glanced at Li Dao unintentionally, then looked away and shook his head slightly.
Li Dao knew that he had no way to defend himself.
I am tired. My lifelong reputation is gone. Truly, let it be destroyed!
"I... I heard a little bit." Miaoyu glanced at her senior brother Xuanqing secretly, then continued in a low voice, "But it wasn't a strange sound. It sounded a bit like the enunciation techniques that the senior brothers in the Taoist temple practice."
She lived next door to her senior brother Xuanqing, and when he was cultivating last night, his pronunciation was clear and unambiguous, so she could hear it clearly and was certain that he was practicing a pronunciation technique.
Li Dao glanced at his junior sister.
Very good. Just for those words, you'll restore my reputation. Once you're in Longhu Mountain, your senior brother will protect you.
"Alright, it's time for us to head to Longhu Mountain," Li Daoyan said, getting back to the main topic.
The two nodded.
Only He Xi smiled and remained silent.
Afterwards, Li Dao and his three companions left the hotel and took a taxi to the foot of Longhu Mountain.
As autumn deepens, many tourists are coming here.
Longhu Mountain has a rich cultural and historical heritage, making it one of the famous scenic spots in Jiangxi Province, and it is also full of the mystery of Taoist culture.
As soon as Li Dao and his companions arrived, they looked up at the endless stream of tourists and climbed the steps one by one.
"As expected of the ancestral home of Taoism, the incense offerings for one day are enough to feed the Three Pure Ones to their hearts' content," Li Dao remarked.
When will my Longyun Taoist Temple be able to witness such a magnificent scene?
“Indeed, the cultural heritage of Longhu Mountain is far more ancient and profound than that of our small Taoist temples, which is why it has become the ancestral home of Taoism and a sacred place for thousands of Taoists to study,” the Taoist nun said.
"Let's go up." After saying that, Li Dao was about to climb the mountain when a fair little hand grabbed the hem of his clothes. He turned his head and saw that Miaoyu's face was pale.
Was it a case of social anxiety disorder?
When the nun saw that Miaoyu didn't hold her hand but instead gripped Li Dao's robe tightly, a faint smile appeared on her slightly wrinkled face.
It seems that little Miaoyu has already developed a preliminary liking for this junior disciple. It will probably not be long before they establish a friendship, and her master won't have to worry about it anymore.
Li Dao smiled, took Miaoyu's small hand, feeling the strength in her hand due to excessive tension, and said in a clear and gentle voice: "Don't be nervous, your senior brother is with you."
Miaoyu glanced at the tourists, then looked at the handsome and refined Senior Brother Xuanqing before her. Her face flushed red to the roots of her ears, but she nodded gently and made a soft "hmm" sound.
At the same time, the strength in her fair hands weakened considerably, and her skin loosened, becoming soft and tender.
"Uncle-Master, let's go," Li Dao said to the Daoist nun.
As for Pipi Xi next to him, he can be completely ignored.
Afterwards, Li Dao and the other three began climbing the mountain.
He Xi walked at the back, watching Li Dao holding Miao Yu's hand, and for some reason felt like she was watching something funny.
Of course, He Xi didn't miss the whole process of recording the video, planning to send it to that tomboy Keisha after a while, so she could see the perspective of her holy left-wing choice of male god.
Hmm, that's a good idea!
There were many tourists on the steps, and Li, Dao, and their companions, dressed in Taoist robes, were quite eye-catching.
Before climbing the mountain, He Xi used computing power to conceal her existence, so no tourists discovered her.
To discover He Xi's existence, one would need computing power stronger than hers.
Facing the gazes of numerous tourists, Miaoyu stiffened, at a loss for what to do.
In the past, she would always go down the mountain with her master and avoid crowded places, but the large number of tourists at Longhu Mountain has made her social anxiety symptoms more and more obvious.
The Taoist nun discovered Miaoyu's situation but didn't interfere much. It wasn't because she was cold-blooded, but because her disciple needed a test.
A test of overcoming severe social phobia.
Li Dao sighed, and then, in full view of everyone, he wrapped his large hand around Miaoyu's slender waist and lifted her up in his arms.
