Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 741: See the true - tomorrow (new book content)

Early in the morning, after reciting the Zhengyi Morning and Evening Scripture Study, Wen Lianggong got up and walked to the kitchen in the backyard of the Taoist Temple.

He picked up the mushrooms he had harvested from the mountain the day before, washed them, fried a dish, left half aside, and ate two large bowls of rice. Only then did he put the rice bowl down with satisfaction, then poured a few pills from the drawer in his room and swallowed them with warm water.

Immediately, Wen Lianggong's gaze slightly lost focus, and as his mind moved slightly, he suddenly saw a rather simple attribute panel appear in his field of vision.

"Surname: Wen Lianggong

Lifespan: 30/32 (Brain Cancer Late Stage)

Skills: Morning and Evening Scripture Study (Initial Glimpse 13/100), Qingwei Pill Formula (Initial Glimpse 21/100)"

Seeing the attribute panel and realizing he only had two years left, Wen Lianggong sighed.

These years, he traveled nationwide to countless renowned hospitals, ultimately spending all his hard-earned savings with no results, as the treatment plan was only chemotherapy, nothing else.

With his current weak body, eroded by cancer cells, starting chemotherapy would mean an early death declaration.

Instead of dying on a hospital bed, Wen Lianggong felt it would be better to spend his last time traveling across the country.

By chance, he ended up at this Taoist Temple, sincerely initiated into the Taoist Sect by an official disciple affiliated with the Zhengyi Qingwei Sect and took an unofficial role as a Taoist, already initiated into the Taoist Sect.

Now with a clear mind and calm heart, his restless emotions have settled down. Besides having a peaceful mindset, he practices the dynamic and static True Skill Qingwei Pill Formula taught by Master He Qing, which has enhanced his Constitution and restored significant strength.

At the very least, his headaches and fainting have been greatly alleviated, and he can walk three steps without gasping for breath.

When the system panel first appeared, he was extremely excited, thinking he surely had a chance. However, reality proved this was merely an attribute display; actual cultivation still depended on himself.

As for health cultivation skills like the Eight Pieces of Brocade or Longevity Skill, Wen Lianggong tried them all. However, his body was indeed weak to a certain extent; during cultivation, Qi and Blood surged, causing him to vomit blood and faint on the ground, reducing his lifespan from the expected 32.5 years to 32 on the attribute panel.

It was his eighty to nearly ninety-year-old Master who brewed medicine for him, allowing him to recover after some time and gradually walk on the ground.

This made Wen Lianggong feel extremely guilty, understanding that his Constitution was indeed poor, and he no longer focused on those so-called health skills, but rather practiced the Qingwei Pill Formula taught step by step by Master He Qing.

The Qingwei Pill Formula unexpectedly brought smooth progress in cultivation, successfully appearing as a skill on the attribute panel and truly exercising his body.

As for mastering something like the Innate Qi mentioned in novels, Wen Lianggong truly felt nothing except that his mind became clearer, his Divine Thought more lucid, and he could perform the feat of falling asleep in ten seconds, with no other anomalies.

As a result, his main focus now was on this Pill Formula, astonishing his Master, who remarked that four hundred years ago, a real talent might have emerged, but sadly now, he's just a sickly person who's soon to be sent off by the elderly...

"..."

Wen Lianggong understood that the Qingwei Pill Formula has a very high entry threshold, and him being able to enter and find that mysterious state,

even though cancer still troubled him, his body was gradually strengthening, at least he could eat two bowls of rice these days.

"Junior Brother, have you cooked?"

Upon hearing the somewhat immature, sleepy voice from behind, Wen Lianggong turned to look at the young Taoist around thirteen or fourteen years old nearby and smiled: "I've left food in the kitchen that's still warm. Junior Brother, just go and eat."

This young Taoist was named Zhang Qingling, a direct disciple of Master He Qing, brought to the mountains to quietly cultivate during summer vacation by his Taoist-believing parents, eventually meant to inherit Master He's official position, waiting to be initiated upon adulthood.

He arrived a few years earlier, so naturally Wen Lianggong addressed him as Senior Brother.

Zhang Qingling agreed, brushed his teeth, and then eagerly rushed into the kitchen. As he picked up the mushrooms Wen Lianggong had fried, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Junior Brother Wen, where did you find these mushrooms? They're all poisonous!"

When he was seven or eight years old, he often went into the mountains with his parents to pick mushrooms, naturally knowing which could be eaten and which couldn't.

But this attribute panel was truly an excellent cheat, seeing the skill progress bar increase with his continual body adjustments to reach the optimal state,

"Obviously, I'm decent at cooking, why doesn't it show as a skill?"

Wen Lianggong couldn't help but complain inwardly. When the attribute panel appeared, it excited his Spirit tremendously, initially thinking his opportunity had finally arrived, but after studying it for half a year, he concluded that it merely displayed one's numerical values.

"Do you have any regrets now?"

"Of course, I haven't had a girlfriend, never held hands, never kissed, a solo life since birth until now, I'm definitely unwilling to pass away like this! I'm already planning to use next week's allowance to go down the mountain to help those young ladies trapped in distress."

After saying this, Wen Lianggong frowned: "So why do you ask?"

"Alright, I just wanted to check if your mental state is normal, after all, those mushrooms you picked in the mountains earlier have some hallucinatory components."

Li Ziyue closed the medical chart, pushed his glasses with his middle finger, and asked: "Are you Taoists allowed to marry?"

"I'm with the Zhengyi Path, not the Quanzhen Dao. Of course, Zhengyi Path allows marriage. I'm even planning to find a Tao Companion to form a couple."

Li Ziyue curled his lips and said: "Alright, alright, after you finish this IV, everything will be fine, remember to pay and handle the discharge procedures later."

Li Ziyue turned and walked a few steps, then looked back and said: "Not going to the high school reunion this weekend?"

Wen Lianggong, with a demeanor of an Immortal, plainly said: "This is worldly matter, someone like me on a clear cultivation path only aiming for immortality can't bother with these trivialities."

"…Speak normally!"

Wen Lianggong's expression fluctuated before angrily saying: "You know well that Fatty Hu used to be against me during high school, now living lavishly and might ridicule me, why should I go?"

Li Ziyue was speechless: "Why didn't you change earlier, where's your Taoist heart, Master Wen?"

"I'm following the Path of Innocence, say whatever you want to say."

Li Ziyue said: "Alright, anyway, I've sent you the address, if you decide to go, let me know; we can be companions."

Pausing, he added: "Shen Jiayi will also be there."

Wen Lianggong was stunned: "Who is Shen Jiayi?"

Li Ziyue asked in confusion: "Isn't everyone's first love Shen Jiayi?"

"丨!"
