83: Chapter 83 Longevity and Spirit Nourishing Technique

Half a month later.

Above the eagle's back, the gale winds were biting, but they were blocked outside by the natural spiritual light barrier emitted by Xiao Jin.

Ye Changge sat cross-legged, took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, held it in his hand, and slowly circulated the Yin Yang Creation Art.

Pure spiritual power was drawn from the Spirit Stone, blending and refining with his own spiritual power.

Since his Foundation Establishment, thanks to frequent Dual Cultivation with Lu Shiyin, who possessed a Flawless Dao Foundation, their Yin and Yang complemented each other. His cultivation progress speed far exceeded that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

At this moment, on this quiet journey in the high altitude, with his mind immersed in cultivation, that already thin barrier finally dissipated completely.

Boom!

The Qi around his body suddenly climbed, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi spontaneously converged, forming a miniature vortex that lasted for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before slowly subsiding.

Ye Changge opened his eyes, a brilliant light shining in them, and slowly exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

Foundation Establishment Second Layer, achieved!

From Foundation Establishment until now, it had been just over a year, yet he had broken through another barrier. If this speed were known, it would be enough to drop jaws everywhere.

"It seems the Dual Cultivation with Lu Shiyin is even more effective than anticipated."

Ye Changge thought to himself, adding more confidence to his future Dao path.

Just then, his powerful Divine Sense perceived that several hundred zhang away ahead, a few streaks of escaping light were flying crookedly in this direction, and there seemed to be pursuers behind them.

Ye Changge's Divine Sense dissipated.

It was just a chase scene between a few Late Stage of Qi Refining Cultivators, and there were no women among them.

Ye Changge originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business and gently patted Xiao Jin's neck, signaling it to deviate slightly from the course.

However, that Cultivator in front, whose aura was clearly withered and whose escaping light was scattered, did not know if he was panicked or had sensed the powerful aura here, but he actually adjusted his direction and flew straight towards Ye Changge:

"Ahead… is it Ancestor Ye of Longmai Mountain?!"

Ye Changge frowned slightly. Xiao Jin tacitly slowed down.

That streak of light staggered to a stop nearby, revealing a middle-aged Loose Cultivator with a withered face covered in bloodstains.

His vitality was fading, and he was at the end of his rope. A hundred zhang behind him, three Late Stage of Qi Refining Cultivators with fierce expressions were chasing closely. They hesitated for a moment when they saw Xiao Jin and Ye Changge, but greed quickly outweighed their fear, and they did not retreat immediately.

"Who are you? Why do you recognize me?"

Ye Changge's voice was cold. He didn't remember knowing such a Loose Cultivator.

The middle-aged Loose Cultivator coughed up a mouthful of black blood and bowed with difficulty:

"Junior… Junior is a Loose Cultivator from the southern foothills of Longmai Mountain, named Zhao Yan. I often frequent the White Bird Market and have… have purchased Talisman from Old Ancestor's Talisman shop many times…"

Ye Changge recalled slightly; he did seem to have some impression.

Zhao Yan coughed up more black blood and said urgently,

"Junior was lucky enough to explore an Immortal Cave of a predecessor the day before yesterday and obtained… obtained a rare Cultivation Technique. Unexpectedly, I was targeted by these four on the way back and was hunted all the way here…"

He shook his hand and took out a primitive cyan jade slip from his bosom, as well as a blood-stained Storage Pouch,

"This Cultivation Technique… Junior has no fortune to enjoy it and is willing to offer it to Old Ancestor! In this pouch… are the Spirit Stone I have accumulated for many years, prepared to send my young child into the Immortal Sect… I beg Old Ancestor to consider the fellow townsman relationship and pass it to my child… I have a daughter at home, her Spiritual Root is decent, if Old Ancestor does not mind…"

His breath grew weaker and weaker, and finally, he used all his strength to report an address,

The light in his eyes dimmed rapidly, and it looked like he was about to close his eyes and fall.

Just at the moment before his consciousness was about to dissipate completely,

Ye Changge suddenly raised his hand and grabbed into the air!

The Spiritual Qi in the air suddenly converged, turning into a translucent cyan giant hand, covering the three people with lightning speed.

The three of them didn't even have time to scream before they were crushed by the giant hand. Their flesh and blood essence were forcibly refined and compressed, turning into three small balls the size of dragon eyes, glowing with a dim red light, and flew back into Ye Changge's hand.

He had never had any good feelings about Bandit Cultivator.

Casually throwing the three blood-energy beads to Xiao Jin as a snack,

Ye Changge looked at the Loose Cultivator who had already died in his hand and shook his head.

The Spiritual Qi he instilled could only let him have a brief moment of recovery to finish his last words; in the end, he could not be saved.

Controlling Xiao Jin to land in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters below, Ye Changge simply dug a pit, buried the Loose Cultivator, and set up a nameless stone.

"Your revenge, I have avenged for you. Your last wish, if there is a chance, I will keep it in mind."

Ye Changge said to the dirt grave, which was considered ending this Karma.

Only then did he look at the jade slip and Storage Pouch left by Zhao Yan.

He opened the Storage Pouch first, and inside were neatly arranged more than two thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone, as well as some miscellaneous low-level Materials and a few bottles of inferior Medicinal Pill. The assets were pathetically meager.

Ye Changge did not take anything.

His Divine Sense probed into the jade slip.

The first few lines of ancient text appeared in his consciousness:

"Longevity Nurturing Spirit Art" (Fragment).

This art does not emphasize killing, does not compete for Divine Ability, and only seeks longevity and long-term vision.

Practitioners do not need specific Spiritual Root talent, nor do they focus on the level of Comprehension Ability.

One only needs to find a spirit plant that is at least a hundred years old and vaguely compatible with one's own aura in the Early Stage of Qi Refining, and refine it into a "Life-Bound Spirit Seed" using a secret method, and plant it in the Dantian.

Combat power at the same level may be at the bottom, but the Lifespan far exceeds that of peers, reaching two to three times that of Cultivators at the same level.

Subsequent Breakthrough of the Realm is also closely related to the advancement of the Spirit Seed…

Ye Changge finished browsing quickly, his eyes showing surprise and deep thought.

"No need for Spiritual Root talent, doesn't focus on Comprehension Ability, just need to refine a compatible spirit plant… Using the growth of the Spirit Seed to drive the improvement of cultivation, focusing on life extension…"

This Cultivation Technique is simply tailor-made for his concubines who have poor Spiritual Roots and no interest in fighting and killing!

He himself has the "Taiyi Life-Water Art", a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, which can lead his Dual Cultivation Dao Companion to break through simultaneously, but this method still has requirements for the Dao Companion's own Spiritual Root and basic cultivation Comprehension Ability, and it must be practiced to the Late Stage of Qi Refining to effectively drive them.

Like Xiao Cui, Liu Xiaoxing, and these concubines with Ninth-Grade Spiritual Root,

their progress in practicing ordinary Cultivation Technique is slow, and their understanding of the "Taiyi Life-Water Art" is also limited,

so the driving effect is not ideal.

But this "Longevity Nurturing Spirit Art" is completely different!

It almost bypasses the limitations of Spiritual Root and Comprehension Ability; as long as one finds a suitable spirit plant,

one can just nourish the Spirit Seed step by step.

Although the combat power is low, does Ye Changge need them to fight?

Obviously not. What he needs more is for them to live long and be able to accompany him for longer!

"Life-extending Cultivation Technique… the value is inestimable, but for me, it may be more useful than a Heaven Rank combat Cultivation Technique."

Ye Changge carefully put away the jade slip, having already made up his mind,

"As for his last wish."

Ye Changge sighed,

"Since this Cultivation Technique is of great use to me, I will naturally take care of his children."

Ye Changge looked at the direction; the address mentioned by the Loose Cultivator was just on the way to the Immortal City,

"I'll go take a look. If their Heart-Nature and Spiritual Root are acceptable, it's not impossible to bring them back to the Ye family."

Ye Changge muttered in his heart.
