Chapter 1 I wanted to lie down and be a rich man Beiquan Mountain is six hundred miles away from the capital of Daqian. This mountain is very steep, with cliffs on three sides. There is only one way down the mountain, which is guarded by soldiers. This was once the gate of the Beiquan Sword Sect. After the sect was destroyed forty years ago, this place became a ruin. "His Majesty has ordered that this Beiquan Mountain will be your residence from now on. You are not allowed to leave the mountain without the Emperor's order. If you disobey the order... you will be executed!" A thin, pale-faced young man coughed painfully a few times, endured the discomfort, and bowed, "Gu Yuanqing, I accept your order." "Master Gu, there is one more thing I have to remind you of. Some things should be kept to yourself. If they are spread out, it will not be good for you or for the people who know about it. His Majesty has shown mercy by sparing your life." "I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Xu." Gu Yuanqing smiled bitterly. He was the illegitimate son and grandson of Prince Gu's mansion. His parents died early, and he lived in the master's house. He had no talent for cultivation. He wanted to wait until he came of age to be granted a fiefdom and set up his own mansion, and then live a free and easy life as a rich man with the support of the Gu family. Unexpectedly, on the day of the opening of the mansion, Prince Gu saw a woman with an accent that did not sound like someone from Kyoto, dining alone in a restaurant. On a whim, he secretly used means to abduct her and gave her to Gu Yuanqing as a gift for his coming of age. After the banquet, Gu Yuanxuan hurriedly pulled the drunk Gu Yuanqing to the bed. Only then did he discover that the woman had a five-clawed dragon pendant on her waist and was actually a daughter of the royal family.
Knowing that he had caused a big disaster, he came up with a vicious plan. He knocked Gu Yuanqing unconscious and fed them both Hehuan Powder, Longyang Pills and Zuixian Wine. If these three medicines are used together, the person will die suddenly within two hours. As long as all those who know about it are killed and there is no evidence, it can be proved that Gu Yuanqing was just attracted by the beauty and it has nothing to do with him, and he can get away with it. He thought his tricks were flawless, but how could such naive methods be hidden from the royal family? A few days ago, Gu Yuanxuan was found with a reason to abandon his cultivation and was exiled to the frontier. He was killed by bandits before he had gone three hundred miles. His father, Prince Gu, was a poor parent and was implicated and demoted from his position as crown prince. Prince Gu was demoted one rank. Gu Yuanqing himself was lucky enough to survive, which was a blessing, so he dared not say more. "Mr. Gu, it's good that you understand. This Beiquan Mountain is a forbidden place in Daqian. No one will come here to disturb us. We will send you things to use every half a month. If you have any needs, you can ask. As long as it does not violate the emperor's order, everything will be fine." "Thank you, Gu!" Eunuch Xu led all the soldiers down the mountain, and in a blink of an eye, only three people were left on the mountain. Gu Yuanqing looked at the two old servants, a man and a woman, and asked, "What are your names?" The skinny old man opened his mouth, only to see that his tongue was broken off at the root. The middle-aged woman pointed to her ears, but no sound came out of her mouth. "That's very thoughtful." Gu Yuanqing sighed and clasped his hands together, "I'll trouble you two in the future." The two servants knelt down quickly. Under the guidance of the skinny old man, Gu Yuanqing came to a small courtyard that was still intact and quite clean. After sending the servant away, Gu Yuanqing sat on a chair. After a cough, he sighed helplessly: "If something goes wrong, I will have to spend the rest of my life here." Rest at sunset and get up at sunrise. Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. Gu Yuanqing felt much better and was taking a walk in the mountains when he saw a young eunuch of about fifteen or sixteen years old leading soldiers to deliver something. Two old servants were taking over the burden from the soldiers' shoulders. He hurried over. "Young eunuch, please stay."
The leading eunuch stopped, turned around and said nothing. Gu Yuanqing bowed and said, "Next time you go up the mountain, could you please bring me some books? Biographies, vernacular novels, and miscellaneous studies are all fine." The young eunuch nodded, still without saying a word, then turned around and led his men down the mountain. Gu Yuanqing opened his mouth to speak, but finally gave up. In fact, he just wanted to say a few more words, even if it was just a small talk. Ten days in the mountains almost drove him crazy. Back in his own courtyard, Gu Yuanqing sat on a chair and recalled what happened that night, but found that he couldn't even remember the other person's face clearly. Even now, he still didn't know the other party's name or specific identity. He only knew the dragon pendant that symbolized royal status. Before I knew it, the sun was at its zenith. In a trance, I heard a ding sound, and a line of subtitles slowly unfolded in my mind. "It has been checked that the host has stayed in the No Man's Land for ten days, which meets the conditions for binding to the resident. Do you want to bind?" Gu Yuanqing was stunned. He initially thought it was an illusion, but after confirming the subtitles in his mind again, he was filled with surprise and joy. This was a system that had been twenty years late. Was it finally here? After a long moment, he calmed down his emotions and silently chanted "bind" in his heart. In an instant, light flowed in his mind and he felt like his soul had left his body and was floating upward. What he saw became bigger and bigger, and gradually the whole Beiquan Mountain appeared clearly in his eyes. The next moment, his consciousness returned to his body and the shadow of Beiquan Mountain appeared in his mind, with a line of subtitles next to it. Host: Gu Yuanqing Title: None Cultivation talent: mediocre (excellent among the mediocre) Kendo talent: mediocre (one in a hundred) Perception: Outstanding among the ordinary Location: Beiquan Mountain (Fanshan) Resident blessing: Cultivation talent +1, swordsmanship talent +2, comprehension +2, and a ray of spiritual energy from heaven and earth can be obtained every day. The corner of Gu Yuanqing's mouth twitched. No talent? There seems to be no lower evaluation than this. However, his comprehension is quite normal. No wonder he was born in a royal palace and had no shortage of cultivation techniques and resources, but after practicing for more than ten years he was still stuck at the third level of Xiao Zhoutian Yuanshi. "Fortunately, I didn't get too obsessed with cultivation, otherwise these twenty years would have been wasted." "We can give it a try now. If the spiritual energy in the station is strong enough, it can be transformed into a mountain gate. By then, our cultivation talent will be further improved. If we can become a master, what will the soldiers and generals at the foot of Beiquan Mountain fear?" Gu Yuanqing regained hope and smiled. In his previous life, 996 died suddenly at work, and in this life he has no talent for spiritual practice. He wanted to lie down with his back against the palace, but no matter what, he was unwilling to be imprisoned in this mountain, leaving his life and death to others! He pondered the system information for a while, and couldn't help but sit cross-legged and circulate the Qi in his body. He felt the change immediately. In the past, when he practiced the techniques, the internal Qi was difficult to circulate. After one cycle, he felt exhausted and the internal Qi did not increase at all. But now, the true Qi is light and fluid, and the meridians no longer feel congested. Compared with the past, it is a world of difference. What Gu Yuanqing practiced was called Xuantian Gong, one of the five top-grade foundation-building techniques of the Gu family. It could refine thirty-six acupoints, transform them into the Xuantian formation, and achieve Zhenwu. As soon as he had a thought, a wisp of spiritual energy from heaven and earth flowed out from the virtual shadow of Beiquan Mountain and spread into his meridians. The true energy in his body increased rapidly, and the true energy flowed through his internal organs, nourishing his body that had been damaged by drugs some time ago. Whoa, whoa, whoa! After a series of coughs, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body felt relaxed. He did not stop there. With the push of his vital energy, he felt that the state of mind that had been stagnant for three years finally loosened up. The Tanzhong point on his chest flickered with a faint light, which complemented the other six opened acupoints, and his qi channels became connected and integrated into one. "He's already reached the fourth level of Yuanshi? Is this the difference brought by talent? No wonder Princess Li Miaoxuan of Daqian was able to cultivate Zhenwu at the age of ten!"
Body Tempering, Yuanshi, Zhenwu, Grandmaster, these are the realms of Daqian cultivation. Below the Grandmaster, each major realm is nine levels of heaven. He practiced hard when he was young, but the gap between him and his peers became larger and larger. Otherwise, how could he be willing to give up practicing and lie down after being reborn into this world? "But now everything is different!" He opened his eyes, jumped up, and threw a set of punches on the open ground. Finally, he stood at the door in sweat, gazing at the distant sky, feeling extremely happy! A new book has started, this time I will pick up the Xianxia genre again... (End of this chapter)
