All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 79 Chu Xiu's "Internal Force Factory" Plan!
"Master?"

Tianshan Tonglao looked Chu Xiu up and down, her face showing a look of surprise and uncertainty—she had obviously misunderstood, thinking that Chu Xiu called himself "Xiaoyaozi," and subconsciously ignored the phrase "in a sense."

With this understanding, looking further, Chu Xiu really does resemble Xiaoyaozi very much.

They are alike in every way, from temperament to spirit.

Aside from their appearances, Xiaoyaozi was like an ancient immortal, ethereal and otherworldly, while Chu Xiu was young and handsome. However, Tong Lao had never seen what Xiaoyaozi looked like when he was young.

This is the effect of the passive "Free and Unfettered Disciple".

"Could this be because Master has regained his youth?" the Child Granny wondered.

But she remembered that the "Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique" had to be practiced from childhood and required a special "spiritual root constitution". Her master always regretted missing the best time to cultivate and also regretted that she did not have such a thing as a "spiritual root".

Finally, as his lifespan was nearing its end, he went out to find a peaceful resting place and passed away in meditation.
"Wait, before leaving, Master said that the highest level of the Eternal Youth Technique is 'Qi returning to its innate state, returning to infancy.' Perhaps he eventually achieved it, but because he lacked spiritual roots, he couldn't retain his memories, and thus became the young man in front of us now?"

Thinking of this, the way she looked at Chu Xiu gradually changed.

Before Chu Xiu could continue his charade, he asked directly, "What brings you here?"

She thought of many things in that instant.

The conclusion that he ultimately came to in his mind was that his master no longer existed, and returning to infancy without his memories meant that, in a sense, he had become a different person.

Specious.

Just treat them as descendants of our master!
"I've come to see Granny Tong this time for no other reason than to make a deal!" Chu Xiu said, "I'll help you fix the flaws in the 'Eternal Youth Technique,' and you lend me the people from the 'Lingjiu Palace' for a while. When you return them, I'll give you back the entire Xiaoyao Sect. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Tianshan Tonglao looked at him.

I am now completely convinced that Chu Xiu is merely a continuation of Xiaoyaozi, not the original Xiaoyaozi.

He couldn't help but sigh and said, "There's no need for that!"

In the end, the Heavenly Child Granny gave the entire Lingjiu Palace to Chu Xiu, and then took the "Seven Star Lamp Life Extension" method taught by Chu Xiu and went to the back mountain to enter seclusion for a life-long retreat.

Yes, that's right, the Seven Star Lamp method for prolonging life!
During the millennium of the Three Kingdoms World Finals, Chu Xiu was not idle. He studied the principles of Wuhou's various skills and had already cracked the essence of the Star Lamp Life Extension.

That's why he was confident in solving the problem of the Heavenly Child Granny.

It's not just about breaking the barriers, but also about preparing for the future upgrade of this world—the condition for world upgrade is that more than three beings among the natives emerge who can break the world's constraints.

Tianshan Tonglao was one of his chosen training targets.

The "Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique" is a technique in the original work that has the potential to break the shackles of the world. Its powerful effect of reversing aging is unique in the entire Jin Yong novel.

What if we go even further?

Chu Xiu was very optimistic about it.

The only thing that surprised him was that Tianshan Tonglao was persuaded too easily, and after seeing the hope of "immortality", she actually gave up the struggle for the position of leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, and even completely gave up on Lingjiu Palace.

Little did he know, it was all a misunderstanding.

He was mistaken for Xiaoyaozi himself!

"But regardless, the goal has been achieved, and now we can start preparing for the 'pig farming plan'!" Chu Xiu thought to himself. "However, before that, we need to consolidate the Lingjiu Palace's power and start up the other plan, the 'internal energy factory'!"

"Plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, come here for a moment!" Chu Xiu called over the four maids who originally served Tianshan Tonglao.

Ready to issue instructions.

Then, seeing Wushang following closely beside him, he said, "We have important matters to discuss, please excuse us!"

The matter of the internal energy factory is crucial to his development and is of paramount importance.

Wushang is, after all, a competitor; it's best not to let her know.

Upon hearing this, Wushang gave him a disdainful look before leaving. Beside him, Kumārajīva also stood up and said, "Um, this humble monk will also excuse himself!"

Chu Xiu: "???"

They immediately realized what was happening.

"Are you really a high-ranking Buddhist monk? What's going on in your head? I really do need to discuss some confidential matters, but Wushang is an outsider, so I can't let her know!"

"Forehead!"

Kumārajīva looked embarrassed.

It turns out you misunderstood.

But I am a follower of the Tantric Buddhist school, and I practice the Joyful Meditation method, so I am not considered improper!

"There are two things to do at the moment, and they should be done simultaneously!" Chu Xiu instructed. "Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju, go and issue the order that all the experts from the 'Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands' who are controlled by the Life and Death Talisman must come to Lingjiu Palace within three days to attend my inauguration banquet as the new Palace Master!"

Upon hearing this, the four of them replied in unison, "Yes!"

"Furthermore, spread the word that the new Palace Master is benevolent and will completely remove the Life and Death Talismans from everyone at the banquet, allowing them to regain their freedom." Chu Xiu added, "However, to prevent them from rebelling, the price for removing the Life and Death Talismans is the loss of their internal energy. They can choose whether or not to remove them!"

He certainly wasn't so kind as to offer warmth to a group of evil people.

Although Tianshan Tonglao has an eccentric personality, she is a genuinely upright person. The reason she uses the Life and Death Talisman to control them is because the "Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands" are not good people.

That was the only way to suppress it.

Chu Xiu removed the Life and Death Talisman from them, but that wasn't the real purpose; his real goal was to take away their internal energy!

As an infinite being, his "Absorption Technique" has no upper limit. If he can absorb all the "Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands", then with his power, who will be his opponent?
Moreover, he also devised an "internal force factory" plan.

Imagine turning martial artists into "working people," making them practice for "eight hours a day," and then concentrating all their accumulated skills into one person.

So, what level can he reach in this world of Tianlong?
This is the real "Nine Yin Manual"!
The true way of humanity is to take from those who have less and give to those who have more!
Furthermore, the "Internal Force Factory" is also a crucial step in promoting the world's upgrading!
"As for you, join Granny Yu and the others to gather all the experts and brainstorm ideas to create a technique that can rapidly increase internal energy!" Chu Xiu then looked at Kumārajīva and said, "The faster the better. Abandon all other effects and only pursue the increase in internal energy. Even if it comes at the cost of shortening lifespan, it's fine. I have a wonderful method to make up for it!"

These words left Kumārajīva completely dumbfounded, and he suddenly realized that Chu Xiu was not a good person!
"Just do as instructed!" Chu Xiu said.

Upon hearing this, Kumārajīva nodded, but then hesitated: "However, creating a new martial arts technique is not just about being highly skilled in martial arts; one also needs a large number of martial arts manuals as references. Speaking of which, there is someone who, if we could get him, I am confident that I could create the technique that you need!"

"Who?"

"Wang Yuyan of the Gusu Wang Clan!"
