Chapter 168: Affiliated with Longhu Mountain

Rosen discovered that he had already reached the peak of his practice of the Twenty-Four Qi Training Techniques and could not make any further progress.

The Twenty-Four Qi Refining Techniques is the lowest level of Qi Refining methods. Rosen was able to cultivate it to the Great Perfection, and that was also due to the help of the Gray Stone.

But this cannot change the low quality of the Twenty-Four Qi Refining Techniques.

So Rosen planned to go to Kunlun again. He hadn't been there for more than 20 years.

I don’t know how Wu Kui is doing now, and whether those old immortals from Kunlun are dead or not.

Although Rosen is now in his sixties or seventies, he has a lifespan of three hundred years.

This time when he went to Kunlun Mountain, Rosen dressed up as a wealthy businessman and brought a team with him, all of whom were transporting gold, silver and jewelry for him, at least hundreds of thousands of strings of cash.

Arriving at the foot of the Yunv Peak of Kunlun Mountain, Rosen looked at the still majestic yet lonely mountain in front of him, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.

At this moment, a Taoist boy of seven or eight years old appeared at the front of the team.

The Taoist boy also saw the team and immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"My dear friends, this is our Kunlun Yuxu Sect. I wonder what brings you here?"

Rosen looked at the Taoist boy in front of him and said, "My dear little master, when I was a merchant in my early years, I encountered danger on the way. I met a man who saved my life and saved my life. Later, I learned that he was from Kunlun and his name was Wu Kui. So today I came here to repay my gratitude and fulfill my vow. Please help me inform him."

"Ah? So you are here to see Master. Please wait a moment. I will go up the mountain to report."

As he said that, the young Taoist priest ran up the mountain. Rosen looked at the young Taoist priest. He moved as fast as the wind and it seemed that he had accumulated several years of experience in martial arts.

After an hour, two figures came down from the mountain.

One of them was Wu Kui. After not seeing him for decades, Wu Kui was still tall and strong, but his hair had all turned gray. His face was ruddy and energetic, and he looked not old at all.

And with just one step, he could appear on the stairs ten feet away.

In just a moment, Wu Kui had arrived in front of the team. When he saw Rosen standing in front of the team, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

"Rosen."

"Wu Kui, long time no see."

"Let's go up the mountain." Wu Kui was very happy to see his old friend. He patted Rosen's shoulder and walked up the mountain.

"You guys take the carriage to the mountain. Be careful not to bump into anything and damage it." Rosen turned around and said.

"Rosen, what's going on?"

"My Luo family is now wealthy, so I wanted to come over and build a few farmhouses for you."

"Hehe... a few farmhouses, the wealth you sent me may be enough to rebuild my sect."

"By the way, are those old guys in your sect still here?"

“Now that I’m the sect leader, those old guys are either dead or in seclusion.” Wu Kui waved his hand carelessly.

"What realm are you in now? I can't tell at all."

“Thanks to the Grayer Stone you gave me, my current realm is unprecedented.” Wu Kui said proudly: “Now my cultivation level is not recorded, I named it the Heavenly Man Realm.”

Rosen rubbed his hands and laughed, "Brother, can you give me two secret manuals or something?"

"If you could enter my Kunlun, I would not be stingy even if it was the highest skill of my sect, but you are not."

"With your personality, would you still care about so many sect rules and restrictions?"

“Given our relationship, if I could teach you, I would have done it long ago.” Wu Kui said helplessly, “My sect was passed down from Zhang Jiao in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Unlike the Quanzhen and Zhengyi sects today, our sect is called the Baozhen sect. All of our secret manuals, except for the most basic 24 Qigong techniques, are locked.”

"What is a lock?" Rosen asked in surprise.

“You can understand it as a qi lock, or you can understand it as a shackle. If an outer sect member practices our Baozhen technique, their qi will be locked and they will never be able to use it again for the rest of their life. However, if an inner sect member practices the Baozhen technique, they will not be able to betray their sect. That’s why when you asked me for advanced techniques, I didn’t give them to you.” Wu Kui said.

"Does anyone in the Qi-refining sects in the Central Plains have this kind of inheritance?"

"I don't know."

Rosen has already set out to visit those famous Taoist mountains and rivers to see if he can get some cultivation techniques.

The state of great perfection is already the limit of the Twenty-Four Qi Training Techniques. To go further, it is necessary to switch to a more advanced technique.

Wu Kui thought for a moment and said, "You can go to Mount Longhu and take a look. When I took over Mount Kunlun, the head of Mount Longhu came to attend the ceremony. I have met him before. He should be an open-minded person and probably not someone who sticks to the rules."

"Thanks, brother."

Rosen stayed in Kunlun Mountain for a month. During this month, Wu Kui passed on a lot of cultivation experience to Rosen.

Although it is not a martial art, it has brought many benefits to Rosen in his Qi training.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Rosen went straight to Longhu Mountain.

Money paved the way. Rosen donated 100,000 taels of silver directly to Mount Longhu. Rosen met the headmaster of Mount Longhu as he wished.

"I am Zhang Quanyi, a poor Taoist priest. I am honored to meet you, Master."

The Zhang Quan in front of him had white hair and a youthful face, sharp eyes, and rosy cheeks. He looked to be a hundred years old, but his body was like that of a middle-aged man, and his breathing was smooth and deep.

"Greetings, Master Zhang." Rosen bowed.

Zhang Quanyi looked at Luo Sen and said, "The layman seems to have practiced a lot of techniques. I wonder what sect he belongs to?"

"I am just an ordinary person, not from any sect. I used to have an old relationship with the headmaster of Kunlun. From him, I learned the Twenty-Four Qi Training Techniques, and later I learned Western magic, and later I learned some methods from foreign lands. But now I have reached a bottleneck in my Qi training, and I want to learn from the strengths of various schools to make a breakthrough. I wonder if Master Zhang can help me?"

"This... I am from the Taoist Zhengyi Sect, but we cannot let the skills leak out at will."

"I am willing to donate another 100,000 taels of silver."

"I'm sorry, layman."

"Two hundred thousand taels."

The corners of Zhang Quanyi's mouth twitched, but he still shook his head: "Layman, this is really not possible."

"Five hundred thousand taels." Rosen interrupted Zhang Quanyi again.

Zhang Quanyi was also in a dilemma at this moment and did not respond for a long time.

"One million taels."

Zhang Quanyi raised his head and looked at Luo Sen: "The layman needs to be naturalized and register in Longhu Mountain."

"Okay." Rosen nodded.

Sure enough, there is nothing in this world that money can't solve. If there is, it's because you don't have enough money.

The so-called naturalization means becoming a Taoist priest.

Rosen was not averse to Taoism, and Longhu Mountain was still the Zhengyi sect, which did not prohibit lust.

"You have made great contributions to Longhu Mountain, so I will accept you as my disciple on my behalf. You will be my junior brother. My name is Lingxu, so I will give you the name Lingyun."

"Ling Yun, meet Senior Brother."
