Upon arriving at the rear hall, Fang Ling Tian and his brothers asked Xu Hai Feng to wait outside while they entered on their own.

  Xu Haifeng stood outside the door and found that they went in but did not close the gate, so he stretched his neck to take a peek. He saw an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard sitting in the back hall, Xu Haifeng looked at him for a long time, but still couldnt see anything special about him, if he changed into ordinary clothes, he would be no different from the old men sunbathing on the street. However, seeing Fang Lingtians brothers respectful attitude towards him, it was clear that this person must have an extraordinary identity.

  "Junior brother Fang Li Tian has seen the true person." Fang Li Tian and his brothers said in unison as they bowed.

  That old Taoist opened his eyes, and his gaze was also calm and unremarkable, without any sharpness. He smiled faintly and said, "Ling Tian, youve been overworking lately."

  Fang Ling Tian bowed his head and said: "I know, but being in this position, there are many mundane things to attend to, its really unavoidable."

  The old Taoist nodded silently and didnt respond. Fang Lingtian continued, "The matter that the True Person instructed last time has been taken care of by me, General Xu is currently waiting outside the palace."

  "Oh, then please come in quickly."

  "Yes." Fang Ling Tian turned around and said to Xu Haifeng, who was eavesdropping outside the door: "Xu Haifeng, come in quickly, the True Man wants to see you."

  "Yes, sir!" Xu Haifeng responded loudly and stepped forward. Although he didnt know the identity of this Taoist priest, he also knew that he couldnt afford to offend him, so after entering, he stood upright with his eyes cast downward, saying: "Junior Xu Haifeng has seen the True Man."

  The old man looked at Xu Haifeng for half a moment, and suddenly his eyes flashed with divine light. Xu Haifengs heart tightened, feeling that the old mans gaze was like a physical object, seeing through him without leaving any trace. In front of this old man, he couldnt muster up even a hint of resistance.

  The old man smiled slightly and transformed into a frail elderly appearance, but this time Xu Haifeng no longer dared to underestimate him in the slightest.

  "What a young man, indeed the old way is old. Young fellow, I have a destiny with you, here I have a heart method called quiet heart trick, its not much use, just to make people calm and clear-headed, are you willing to learn?" The old Taoist asked with a smile.

  "Ah..."

  Xu Haifeng turned his head to look, and saw Fang Lingde involuntarily exclaiming in surprise. Although Fang Lingtian was not as flustered as his younger brother, he too had his eyes wide with incredulity on his face. Even if he were twice as foolish, he would have known that this "Jing Xin Jue" was absolutely not as useless as the old Taoist had made it out to be. Suddenly, he was enlightened and turned around to kowtow: "I am willing to become a disciple of the true person, please have mercy on me."

  The old Taoist laughed and said, "If I were fifty years younger, taking you as a disciple would be no problem. But now if I take you in, Im afraid my other disciples will complain that Ive brought them a young master or ancestor. Haha! Youre not ordinary, lets just be friends regardless of age."

  Xu Haifeng listened to him and also laughed out loud. Only Fang Lingtian brothers were crying and laughing, looking at the two old and young people, not knowing what to say was good.

  "Let him go, you all return first. After I finish transmitting my power, he will leave on his own."

  Fang Ling Tian and the other two had no choice but to retreat first, and before leaving, they glanced at Xu Haifeng, even Fang Ling Tian, a man of great cunning, showed a hint of envy in his eyes.

  As the footsteps of the two men gradually faded away, the old Taoist said to Xu Haifeng: "I have seen countless people in my life, but judging solely by their aura and color, no one can surpass you. However, its easy to invite trouble when youre too full, and excess leads to loss. Your vital energy is too strong, so your temperament is fierce and violent. Your energy is already at the point of being overly aggressive. When you encounter stimulation, have you ever noticed that you easily become impulsive and hot-headed?"

  Xu Haifengs face changed greatly after hearing this, and he immediately thought of the extermination of the Zhang family before coming to the capital. This kind of thing would have been impossible in the past, but when he saw his brothers bones broken and hands shattered, a surge of hot blood rushed up, and afterwards he couldnt control himself, leading to the annihilation of the Zhang family, leaving no chicken or dog alive. This matter had never been on his mind since then, only vaguely feeling that something was not quite right, until now when the old Taoist pointed it out, did he know where the root of the problem lay.

  "What you said is absolutely right, I have been doing things like that recently."

  "If things go on like this, the pent-up anger in your heart will turn into murderous intent and youll become a bloodthirsty person."

  Xu Haifeng took a deep breath, whats going on here? He had already become a bloodthirsty person. This trend must not continue to grow. He knelt down again: "Please, True Person, point out the way for me."

  The old man stretched out his hand and lifted it slightly, and Xu Haifeng immediately felt that there was a hand in the void that had picked him up. Such a divine skill, unheard of before, turned out that he was indeed a deeply hidden and unparalleled master. Xu Haifengs confidence in him greatly increased.

  "The old Taoists quiet heart trick can dissolve the excess energy in your body, and with diligent practice, you can reach a state of fullness without extremity, warmth, gentleness, and smoothness. The various wonderful uses will also appear one by one later."

  Xu Haifeng sincerely thanked him: "The kindness of rebirth, I will never dare to forget."

  After Fang Lingtian and his brothers came out of the back hall, they saw that the old Taoist priest attached great importance to Xu Haifeng. For a moment, as if he had gained some insight. Fang Lingtian said with profound meaning: "From today on, even I will have to look at him in a new light."

  Fang Lingde nodded in agreement: "Lao Zhenren has met countless people in his life, and he has never misjudged anyone. Im afraid that Xu Haifengs future achievements will far exceed our expectations."

  Fang Ling Tian sank into deep thought for a moment, then said: "Ling De, you stay here and wait for Xu Haifeng to come out. Tell him that I want to hold a grand banquet and invite all officials to help him wash the dust off his feet."

  In the back hall, the old Taoist was getting stranger and stranger. This Xu Haifeng was indeed a rare talent. His "Jing Xin Jue" was one of the top few sets of skills in the world, but it wasnt difficult to practice. It was just that wanting to achieve something was harder than climbing to heaven.

  "Jing Xin Jue" is also known as "Chang Sheng Jue". The principle of this qigong method is to refine the accumulated essence and energy in the body into internal power. Every person has a different physical constitution at birth, just like some people are born with abundant energy, no matter how tired they are during the day, they can fully recover after a good nights sleep, while others may become short of breath and lacking in spirit as soon as they get slightly fatigued. This is the difference in innate physical quality between people, although later-life nurturing can make up for some of it, under the same conditions, the former has an absolute advantage in growth.

  To cultivate the "quiet heart method", the entrance conditions are so harsh that they can make the vast majority of people stop in their tracks. Unless one has a physique that is good to an extreme degree, and was born into a wealthy family, with continuous supplementation from childhood to adulthood, and severe overnutrition, otherwise dont even think about achieving success in cultivation. However, once practice has achieved some success, the rewards are equally rich.

  "The Secret of Tranquility" is also known as "The Decision of Long Life". This is because those who have cultivated this method, except for accidental deaths such as being killed by a sword or a gun, will at least live to be over 100 years old and are typical centenarians. Fang Lingtian and others had long understood this principle, but they also had the self-awareness to know that with their physical constitution, cultivating "The Secret of Tranquility" was basically hopeless, so they retreated and sought secondary options, switching to cultivate other methods.

  Since ancient times, how many people have been dissatisfied with living too long, especially those in high positions, who wish for eternal life and perpetual wealth and glory. Fang Ling Tian is already over 60 years old this year, with one foot already in the coffin, and posthumous affairs have already been put on the agenda. Of course, he is particularly envious of Xu Haifeng, who has had the opportunity to cultivate the "Jing Xin Jue".

  Xu Haifengs innate physique was actually just average, but after absorbing the blood of a strange snake, his body had undergone earth-shattering changes. One of these abilities allowed him to absorb the essence of the Drunken Moon wine. The Drunken Moon wine was a specially made tonic, and over the past few months, the accumulated medicinal power had reached an unimaginable level. With one circulation of the Jingxin Jues technique, this medicinal power transformed into his internal energy. When most of the medicinal power had been transformed, Xu Haifeng woke up from his deep meditation to see the old Taoist staring at him with an incredulous expression.

  He sprang up, feeling refreshed and invigorated, his condition better than ever before: "Thank you, Master."

  The old Taoist looked at him with a gradually softening gaze, and slowly said: "Young man, this Jing Xin Jue seems to be tailor-made for you. I was only barely able to reach the fifth level of cultivation when I was thirty years old. Youve reached such a high level just by sitting in meditation. I dare not say that there will be no one after you, but at least you are unprecedented."

  Xu Haifeng was overjoyed, but he forced himself to put on a frightened expression. In reality, every move he made revealed a hint of pride. The old Taoist was wise and discerning, and he could see right through Xu Haifengs act. However, since Xu Haifeng had mastered the technique and would be able to pass it down, the old man felt relieved and pleased. Even if Xu Haifeng had been arrogant, the old man wouldnt have blamed him.

  In fact, this set of skills is just a freak like Xu Haifeng who can practice and have such a miraculous effect. If it were someone else, no matter how excellent their physical constitution was, they would not be able to reach such a level so quickly.

  "Junior remembers that Mr. Fang once mentioned, you want to see me. I dont know what the true person has instructed, junior dare not decline." Xuhai Feng suddenly thought of what Fang Ling Tian said when he saw this old Taoist priest, his heart was grateful and wanted to repay him, so he asked.

  "Haha......haha......" The old Taoists face suddenly became quite embarrassed, and he repeatedly waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing, I just heard the great name of the Black Flag Army, and I have a high opinion of you as a person, so I asked Lian Tian to pay attention to you."

  "Is that so? Then thank you for your guidance, elder." Xu Haifeng felt that the old Taoists words were somewhat insincere, but since he didnt say anything further, it wasnt convenient to pry and ask more questions.

  Its actually quite amusing, this old Taoist is a renowned figure in the Great Han Dynasty, and there are very few people in this world who can rival him. However, as he grew older, his lifelong work, especially his mental discipline techniques, had yet to be passed on to anyone, and at this moment of great anxiety, he heard someone discussing the leader of the Black Flag Army, saying that he had conquered numerous women in one night, earning the nickname "Golden Gun Unbeaten".

  The old Taoists heart moved, thinking that anyone with excess energy would also have extraordinary abilities in that aspect. He instructed Fang Lian Tian, who was in charge of the military department, to pay attention. Indeed, today he saw that Xu Haifeng made him extremely satisfied, and the Jingshen Jue had found a successor. He also put down the big stone on his heart. But how could this be explained to Xu Haifeng?
