I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 58: Secretly Practicing Martial Arts (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

In the past few months, Xie An rarely looked in the mirror.

When people reach old age, they get used to their appearance and realize that being handsome is no longer relevant to them. They don’t like looking in the mirror.

Now take a closer look...

"Turtle..."

The hair has become 60% darker.

Before, people were looking for black hair among white hair, but now they are looking for white hair among black hair.

Hair is incredibly important to a person's appearance. Black hair instantly conveys a vibrant, energetic vibe. However, with white hair, no matter how supple your skin may be, you'll simply be labeled "white-haired, youthful-looking."

In addition to the hair, the wrinkles on the face were also smoothed out by 70% to 80%.

Even her lips, which had been a little dry, had regained their plumpness and redness, and her eye sockets, which had been a little sagging, had become much firmer.

If he didn't look carefully, Xie An would hardly recognize the guy in the mirror.

Xie An was afraid that it was an illusion, so he reached out and pinched his face.

Full and elastic.

The skin is not as smooth as a baby's, but it does feel thick.

Previously, although Xie An's wrinkles and gray hair had improved, he always had a sense of decadence. Now, he was truly full of vitality and vigor.

Xie An felt that he was getting further and further away from the title of "old man".

"If I could return to my youthful appearance in the future...that would be really interesting."

hiss!
Xie An took a deep breath.

juvenile……

He almost forgot this word in the long river of time.

I only vaguely remember that when I first traveled through time, I was only twenty years old... but a few women called me "young man" and "young master".

Since then, words related to teenagers... have become isolated from me.

Now when I mention the word "youth", it seems like a lifetime ago.

"Although this longevity physique doesn't enhance martial arts, it's truly miraculous. If you continue practicing health-preserving exercises, your health will continue to improve. However, reversing aging is not easy."

They say that flowers may bloom again, but people can never be young again.

Who doesn’t have a childhood dream?
Although Xie An's mentality is no longer young, if his appearance could return to his youth, it would be enough to make his blood boil.

I dreamed about it for a long time before giving up.

"The heavy iron sword Liang Xiang forged is ready. I'll go get it. With that heavy sword, the power of my Fuyang sword technique will increase at least several times."

Liang Zhi came to report last night and can go get the knife at any time.

Xie An, now capable of lifting a thousand pounds with one arm, had long felt that the broadswords his sect was equipped with were too light, unable to fully demonstrate his true strength. Furthermore, the last time he chopped the immortal treasure box, it had left a crack in it, rendering it unusable. He needed to repair it...

A heavy knife is imminent.

Xie An soon arrived at Liang Xiang's blacksmith shop.

"Shopkeeper Liang, I'll get the knife."

Liang Xiang, who was hammering iron on the anvil, saw Xie An and immediately put down his work and said, "Second Deacon, wait a moment. I'll get it for you right away."

The news of Xie An's promotion to Second Deacon had already spread throughout the black market and the halls. Everyone began to call him Second Deacon, no longer needing to be shy about whether Zhang Lin would be pleased to hear it.

After all, this is an official position appointed by the Tiger and Wolf Sect.

Soon, Liang Xiang came out with a large sword in his hands and handed it to Xie An, "Hold the handle. The blade weighs forty kilograms, plus the scabbard and handle, a total of forty-three kilograms."

"Let me try."

Xie An took over and drew the sword from its sheath, which immediately made a metallic humming sound. It was very heavy.

Only after Xie An exerted a little effort did he feel relieved.

As the blade was completely unsheathed, Xie An could see the whole picture clearly.

The color of the silver is extremely dazzling, and when it is illuminated by the early morning sunlight, it shines brightly and is very eye-catching.

The blade is two inches wide and four feet long, and the back of the blade is about half an inch thick. The back half of the blade is straight, the front half is slightly curved upward, and the tip of the blade is sharp.

It was exactly the same as the requirements Xie An had provided before, and even better than Xie An had expected.

Swipe!

Xie An was not vague either and immediately waved his sword a few times.

The heavy sword did not seem heavy in Xie An's hand. Instead, it had a source of power and was integrated with his body, making him seem as if he could wield it with the flick of his arm.

As the long sword swung, waves of sword winds swept across the entire blacksmith shop, and a murderous aura filled the air. Liang Xiangdu instinctively stepped back a few steps, but even so, he still felt the strong deterrent force and was shocked.
This is a forty-jin heavy sword. Even a warrior who has just entered the elite flesh realm would find it difficult to wield it. How could it be as easy as Xie An?

A warrior in the essence and flesh realm...

According to Liang Xiang's understanding, there are not many warriors in the entire Baiyu Hall who have reached the Jingrou realm.

This second deacon... is truly brave!
Xie An naturally had no idea what Liang Xiang was thinking. At this moment, he was completely immersed in the pleasure of sword dancing.

The swords issued by the gang before were too light. I always felt like I was holding a plastic knife...no different from a toy.

Now this heavy sword is just right.

The chopping, slashing, stabbing, and thrusting were all filled with sufficient weight and power, maximizing Xie An's strength advantage.

The most important thing about swordsmanship is strength.

After practicing half of the Fuyang sword technique, Xie An had completely adapted to this heavy sword and sheathed it.

"Nice knife! Shopkeeper Liang's great craftsmanship."

Xie An praised it excitedly, and then noticed the exquisite scabbard.

When Xie An ordered the heavy sword, he didn't ask for a scabbard. It was obvious that Liang Xiang wanted to do him a favor.

All in all, Liang Xiang might just lose money.

After all, this scabbard is made of high-quality metal and animal skin, and it would cost at least a few taels of silver.

Xie An didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he took out a small silver ingot of ten taels and handed it over. "Thank you for the trouble, Shopkeeper Liang, in making this scabbard. I like it very much. Shopkeeper, please accept this silver."

Liang Xiang smiled and declined, "The second deacon asked me to customize a heavy sword last time. After hearing about it, many of the guys nearby came to me to buy weapons. I made a lot of money. If I accept money again, it would be very ignorant."

Seeing Liang Xiang's firm attitude, Xie An weighed the little silver and money left in his pocket, took it back, said thank you and left.

When I walked to the gate of the villa, I saw a conflict between a group of young men in front of me. It seemed that Wang Xiang led a group of people to beat up a teenager.

In a place like Black Blood Ridge, it was common for his men to fight with each other. Xie An was already used to it and did not intend to pay any attention to it. He only told Wang Xiang, "That's enough. Don't cripple him."

Wang Xiang was afraid Xie An would misunderstand, so he immediately explained the situation. "Second Deacon, not only was this person lazy, he also stole my martial arts secret manual and practiced it in private. This is a serious taboo. According to the rules of our Tiger and Wolf Sect, we should report this to the incense master and bring the case to court."

Being lazy is a minor matter, but stealing the martial arts of the Tiger and Wolf Sect is indeed a serious taboo. If it is taken too far, it will be fatal.

Thinking of this, Xie An walked over and took a look.

It turned out to be Li Shaoyun.

This is no small matter.

After all, Li Shaoyun was still his subordinate. If he didn't handle the matter well and someone reported it to the court, Xie An would probably remember it as a mistake, which would affect his future.

Xie An felt he could no longer stand by and watch, so he immediately stopped Wang Xiang and the others from continuing, saying, "Tell Liang Zhi to bring him to my yard. Wang Xiang, you come too."
