Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags - Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Chapter 193: Digestion of Gains, Increase in Capabilities (Extra addition for the White Silver Alliance 7/50)_1

Everyone was silent for a long time.

Then someone broke the silence and asked, “Dear Daoist Brothers, I had noticed the bracelets in your hands before.”

“Now that I saw them, I understand they were Jiang Yuan’s means! However, I am very curious about his intentions?”

A few people shook their heads, “We also don’t know what he intends! We are also equally curious!”

Recalling Jiang Yuan’s instructions earlier, they recounted the episode to the others.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slowly.

“So it is! It seems that we can only respect his wishes! From this perspective, he probably doesn’t mean any harm. With his current strength, killing us would be a matter of a mere thought!”

“Exactly! His Five Elements Domain is like a grinding disc that can crush everything. We will probably be ground into dust under his domain’s pressure. Not to mention anything else”

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Jiang Yuan was moving forward swiftly with Shu Xiaoxiao.

In the blink of an eye, they had traversed one thousand and three hundred miles.

Half an hour later.

Following the directions, Jiang Yuan quickly found the spiritual stone vein.

Boom

With a loud noise, Jiang Yuan levitated his hand and opened up a cave.

Both of them saw the surrounding lustrous white light, and a thick mist in the air. They could even feel subtle traces of water energy.

Shu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth in awe, “The spiritual energy is so rich!”

Jiang Yuan also revealed a slight smile, nodding slightly, “Indeed, it’s dense.”

To his surprise, this spiritual stone vein was larger than expected. It compared to the spiritual stone vein condensed at the Place of Meditation of a great cultivator in the Dharma Realm.

In comparison, it was like a minor sorcerer in the face of a great sorcerer.

The difference in the total quantity between the two was multiple-fold.

Feeling the dimension of this spiritual stone vein, Jiang Yuan understood why this opportunity cost him so much of his Luck Power, because this spiritual stone vein is indeed huge!

His eyes pierced through layers of veins, seeing the spiritual vein marrow deep inside.

Immediately, he was taken aback.

It was not a fragment, but a massive piece, a massive piece of spiritual vein marrow.

It was at least ten times larger than the spiritual vein marrow he had previously obtained.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, such a vast spiritual stone vein was indeed worthwhile!

Even the largest of the several spiritual stone veins of the Supreme Mystery Sect couldn’t compare to it.

This time, he should take the opportunity to engage in closed-door cultivation!

If he missed this opportunity, it wouldn’t be so easy to advance his cultivation quickly.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself silently. He also intended to attempt to go to the core of the Pearl Cave.

Dragon Palace, in his conjecture, must contain the opportunity left by the Human Race Saint.

That Human Race Saint who established so many rules in the Pearl Cave wouldn’t have done it merely to let the Heaven Geniuses cultivate themselves.

There must be a profound reason behind that.

Shu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, with the rich spiritual energy swiftly surging into her body, she suddenly revealed a brilliant smile.

“Young Master, spiritual stones are indeed good stuff! Compared to the power of Earth Fire, the efficiency of my devouring spiritual energy from spiritual stones can be more than ten times higher.”

Jiang Yuan said lightly, “Naturally, otherwise how could spiritual stones become the currency for transactions in the Cultivation World.”

“Unfortunately, this spiritual stone vein is still a small-sized one. If it were a medium-sized spiritual stone vein, it would have condensed a considerable quantity of medium-quality spiritual stones. The concentration of spiritual energy would be incredibly high!”

Subsequently, he chuckled, “But it’s sufficient! The two of us should quickly devour and refine this spiritual stone vein.”

“Hmm!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, “Then I will break through to the Divine Bridge Realm! I have been in stagnation for over half of a month, which is ample! My Dao Foundation is now thoroughly stable!”

“With me here, you could break through directly!” Jiang Yuan said.

“Thank you, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao promptly sat down cross-legged, exhaled lightly two times and adjusted her state.

A few moments later.

Boom

With a loud noise, the void quivered slightly, the mountain shook slightly, and the power of heaven and earth also suddenly surged.

A few moments later, a bridge slowly appeared above Shu Xiaoxiao’s head, a bridge condensed from divine soul energy.

As for Shu Xiaoxiao’s breakthrough, Jiang Yuan was not worried at all.

She is the reincarnation of the unparalleled Sword Immortal. In any story, she would definitely be the protagonist.

To others, the cultivation path is a path of opening up full of thorns.

But for her, it is merely a rerun. What is there to be concerned about with remedying deficiencies?

Besides, her talent is so terrifying, and her True Spirit has gathered a lot more.

As time slowly passed.

Shu Xiaoxiao’s path of breakthrough was also proceeding methodically.

Jiang Yuan quietly waited next to her.

Half an hour later.

Shu Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, there was a fairy light surrounding her body. Internally and externally, she was undergoing a metamorphosis and sublimation.

Her body was even emitting a lustrous light, making her look like a celestial woman who had just descended to the mortal realm.

In the narrow cave, the air was filled with the fragrance radiating from her body, a mixture of various floral scents, which was very pleasant.

Jiang Yuan had already experienced this phase of Shu Xiaoxiao.

Her state would last for about three to five days until she dully steps into the Divine Bridge Realm.

Feeling her physical state, Shu Xiaoxiao revealed a joyous smile, “Young Master, I have successfully broken through to the Divine Bridge Realm!”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “Well done! Once your transformation is complete, you can start devouring the spiritual energy in this place.”

“Okay!” Shu Xiaoxiao obediently nodded.

Jiang Yuan also sat down cross-legged thereafter.

He took out the Thunderflame Fruit.

In an instant, the somewhat dim cave was illuminated by the dim-purple glow.

The air was also filled with a faint smell of burnt ozone from the thunder and the fresh aroma of the fruit.

Shu Xiaoxiao sat quietly on the side, watching Jiang Yuan, lost in her thoughts.

The next moment.

Jiang Yuan took a bite of the Thunderflame Fruit.

Crackle!

He felt as if thunder was exploding in his mouth.

Good heavens, that’s powerful!

Jiang Yuan sighed silently.

Such dominant medicinal properties. If it were someone else who wanted to ingest it, they could probably only eat it bit by bit slowly, refining it gradually, unlike him.

As for the Spiritual Sea Realm cultivator, it would be even tougher.

They could probably only eat fruit flesh the size of a fingernail each time, and there might even be a risk of injury.

Jiang Yuan felt the changes inside his body, and without any hesitation, he finished the fruit in a few bites.

This Thunderflame Fruit made its way into his stomach.

With his refining.

Boom boom

Thunderous rumbling echoed from within his body.

A countless number of lightning bolts exploded in his belly.

They transformed into thousands of currents which dispersed throughout his entire body.

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but take a short breath, suppressing the tingling that penetrated his bones.

As the potency of the medicine unfolded, the surge of electrical currents within his body magnified.

His internal organs, along with his entire body, under the influence of this current, became increasingly robust.

This thousand-year-old medicine indeed leans towards body forging.

However, its effect on elevating his cultivation was limited.

Jiang Yuan immediately dismissed irrelevant thoughts, devoted entirely to refining the medicine inside his body, trying to understand the pieces of thunderbolt rules it contained.

Time slowly passed, and before he knew it, three days had gone by.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

Crick, crack

His body was filled with lightning, and his eyes flashed cross-streaks of lightning, indescribably mystical.

“Young Master, how are you feeling?” Shu Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

“Very good!”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.

The effect of medicine over a thousand years old indeed didn’t disappoint, as it managed to bolster his physical body by approximately ten percent.

Given the state of his physical body, a ten percent enhancement was incredible.

For an average cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm, this would equate to a direct metamorphosis of their physical body.

The effect of Thunderflame Fruit was indeed potent!

Jiang Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the powerful and overwhelming strength within his body.

Moreover, a smile appeared on his face.

The way of the thunderbolt also seemed quite formidable!

Two streams of lightning shot from his eyes.

Boom

The lightning streaks directly shot into the ground and roared deeply underground as if a ferocious beast was howling.

There’s more. The Thunderflame Fruit contained rules of fire.

After absorbing these pieces of fire rules, Jiang Yuan felt his grasp of fire rules had improved another step.

The Five Elements rules also advanced slightly.

Jiang Yuan looked at Shu Xiaoxiao, whose transformation seemed to have completed.

Her energy was concealed, you couldn’t discern her level of cultivation.

Her seemingly innocent face was incredibly deceptive.

Who would have thought that a girl who appeared so young had in reality attained the position of a significant cultivator in the Divine Bridge Realm.

“Young Master, why are you looking at me like that?” she muttered quietly, lowering her head.

Jiang Yuan chuckled, “You’ve grown quite lovely!”

Immediately after, Jiang Yuan saw her lips slightly curve upwards.

“Enough laughing. You should practice too! Make the most of this opportunity to devour this vein of spiritual stones. Understanding the rules should be no problem for you, right?”

“No problem!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded, adding, “I have already comprehended several forms of rule power, especially after absorbing the memory fragments in my mind, even more so!”

Jiang Yuan’s expression instantly turned a bit solemn: “Be careful, don’t be too careless! I don’t want you to turn into someone else one day!”

“Young Master, don’t worry!” she cheerfully replied: “I won’t! I will always be me!”

Having said that, she immediately sat down cross-legged.

Her eyes slightly closed, instantly giving off a fairy-like, out-of-the-world aura.

A few breaths later.

Whoo, whoo, whoo

In the cave that Jiang Yuan had carved out, the howls of the wind began to echo.

Spiritual energy madly surged into her.

The originally exposed spiritual stone began to dim instantaneously.

Watching as Shu Xiaoxiao entered her cultivation, Jiang Yuan also took out a Divine Sky Stone.

As soon as he took out the Divine Sky Stone, it was immediately exposed to the air, shooting out thunderous lightning.

However, the flashing lightning didn’t travel far before the devouring force around Shu Xiaoxiao caused the lightning to distort and subsequently enter her body as well.

Such an exaggerated secret technique!

Jiang Yuan looked at her in astonishment.

He then looked at the Divine Sky Stone in his hand, and took a deep breath.

Even for him, seeing the intimidating might of the Divine Sky Stone induced a sense of pressure.

Such potent thunderbolt power, if it entered the body, would definitely be terrifying. Even his internal organs might turn into charcoal.

Normally, one would divide the Divine Sky Stone into pieces the size of a fingernail and swallow them bit by bit to temper the body, and gather the second layer of the Immortal Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations.

But if he did that, the process would be too lengthy.

Jiang Yuan didn’t want to waste time on this.

Time was very precious in the Pearl Cave, which only opened for a year.

Looking at the goose egg-sized Divine Sky Stone in his hand.

Jiang Yuan was very confident about his own body, and he swallowed the Divine Sky Stone in his mouth in one gulp.

In an instant, the stone slid down his throat and into his belly.

Boom

Thunder roared from within his body.

It felt as if millions of thunderbolts had exploded in his belly.

Hiss

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, then gently exhaled.

He was fortunate to have recently gained control over the thunderbolt rules; otherwise, he would have felt very uncomfortable!

He quickly closed his eyes.

He began to grasp the calamity power contained within the thunderbolts and according to the records, started practicing the second layer of Immortal Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations.

As the power of calamity poured in.

His physical body began to transform instantly, his inner-most cells became a little dormant and his aura gradually weakened.

Shu Xiaoxiao instantly opened her eyes.

“Young Master!”

She murmured, a trace of worry on her brow.

A moment later.

The cells within Jiang Yuan’s body began to stir, returning from their dormant state, his aura suddenly strong again.

His body was undergoing a transformation bit by bit, a transformation from the inside out.

Each fully regenerated cell was imbued with a hint of Calamity flavour.

Ancient and powerful, filled with mysterious aura.

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s transformation, Shu Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised.

The Jiang Yuan at this moment felt as if he didn’t belong to this era.

He seemed like a person who walked from the ancient past, filled with the vicissitudes of life and the deposition of time.

He appeared ancient and strong.
