[Chen Xuan: Just now I optimized the breathing method system again, and it should be almost ready for normal use. You can purchase it if you need it.]

Following the group announcement, Chen Xuan also spoke out within the group.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Master Chen Xuan, Master Chen Xuan, I know what Sun Breathing is, but what are Ripple Breathing and Universal Breathing? What are their effects? Is it the technique you just used?]

Seeing that Chen Xuan had uploaded a new product, which was an upgraded version of the breathing technique from her own world, Kanroji Mitsuri immediately asked about it.

After all, although Kanroji Mitsuri already possessed Chen Xuan's improved magic extraction method, which allowed her to extract magic at a much faster speed than before, she was ultimately alone and unable to deal with all the evil spirits.

Mitsuri Kanroji had tried to teach the magic extraction method to her other Demon Slayer Corps members, but she wasn't the type to teach others. Even if she managed to teach the magic extraction method to her Demon Slayer Corps members, even the Pillars could only extract a small amount of magic, which was far from enough to bring about a significant improvement.

She had discussed this matter with others in the group. Rin Tohsaka, a magician from a family with a history spanning hundreds of years, explained that everyone's talent and aptitude are different. While everyone can cultivate magic power, those with higher talent and aptitude will naturally cultivate faster than those with lower aptitude. Furthermore, the magic extraction method is a product of another world and cannot be 100% applicable to the physiques of people from her world, hence the drastically different results.

The improved breathing technique that Chen Xuan uploaded originated from their world. If that's the case, Kanroji Mitsuri believes it can definitely be perfectly applied to their world. Who knows, once she finishes practicing it, it might be the time to slay the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji.

Chapter Eleven: Ability that is very important to us, and you're telling me it's insignificant.

[Chen Xuan: The Ripple Breathing Technique is a modified version of the Sun Breathing technique that I derived from the Flame Breathing technique.]

[Chen Xuan: According to my calculations, whether it's the Sun Breathing, which is considered the foundation of all breathing techniques and the original breathing method, or the five major schools of Feng Shui, Yan Lei, and Yan that evolved later, their core essence is to forcibly develop the potential within the human body through unique breathing techniques.]

[Chen Xuan: Admittedly, such training in the early stages can greatly improve a cultivator's physical fitness, transforming an ordinary person into someone capable of rivaling a superhuman demon in a short period of time.]

[Chen Xuan: But as I said, the essence of breathing techniques is to forcibly develop the body's potential. In the early stages, it's not too bad if it's within an acceptable range. However, once the forcibly developed potential reaches a certain critical point, the practitioner's body, which has had its potential forcibly developed, will also reach a limit. Even if the practitioner's physical abilities become exceptionally strong after breaking through this limit, all of this is maintained by burning the user's life force.]

[Chen Xuan: If my calculations are correct, once a person practicing this breathing technique breaks through their limit, it will be irreversible. Their vitality will continue to drain, and their lifespan will be shortened to 25 years. And those over 25 years old will probably die on the spot after using it.]

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Huh? Breathing techniques have such drawbacks? I've never heard of that before.]

Upon hearing Chen Xuan say that after breaking through the body's limits, the cultivator would not live past 25, Kanroji Mitsuri was also surprised and immediately asked in the group.

After all, even though she was one of the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, she was essentially just a teenage girl who had never even been in a relationship. Suddenly learning that the breathing technique she had been practicing to slay demons would cause her to die before the age of 25 if she continued to practice it and broke through her physical limits, was a fact that she could not accept no matter what.

She is willing to risk her life to kill evil spirits and save ordinary people, but that doesn't mean she's willing to die like that. Especially since she's never even been in a relationship. She finally met a super handsome guy like Chen Xuan, but she hasn't even gone on a date with him yet. If she were to die young like this, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

[Chen Xuan: Although the later stages of breathing techniques, once the body's limits are broken, will forcibly shorten lifespan to 25 years, it would still take a considerable amount of time for an ordinary person to break through that limit. Perhaps the Demon Slayer Corps leader, who is with you, Miss Kanroji, deliberately didn't tell you this to prevent you from getting stuck on this hurdle.]

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and then brought out the same explanation that the Demon Slayer Corps head's wife had given in the Demon Slayer world.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease.]

When Chen Xuan said that this limit was not so easy to break, Kanroji Mitsuri breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, she still did not want to die young.

[Rin Tohsaka: Idiot, what are you relaxing for? Didn't you hear Master Chen Xuan say that the breathing technique you practice is essentially a forced development of the body's potential? If you continue practicing like this, even if you don't break your physical limits, your lifespan and potential will be greatly reduced. This is a super important issue concerning your future! What are you relaxing for?]

Seeing that Kanroji Mitsuri, who knew she might not die young at 25, was carefree and relaxed, Tohsaka Rin gave her a lecture, feeling disappointed in her.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: That's right, even without breaking your physical limits, practicing breathing techniques is still forcibly developing your body's potential.]

Reminded by Rin Tohsaka, Mitsuri Kanroji also realized that even if she didn't break her physical limits and enter the state called "mark" in the breathing technique, practicing the breathing technique was still a forced development of her body's potential. Moreover, just as Chen Xuan said, this development was okay in the early stages, and she could barely maintain a balance with her body, but once it went on for a long time, it would still cost her her life. If she couldn't solve it, she would still be a short-lived ghost.

It wouldn't matter if she lived a little shorter, but there were so many younger members in the Demon Slayer Corps, and Kanroji Mitsuri didn't want them to overdraw their physical potential by practicing breathing techniques and die from exhaustion.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: @Chen Xuan, Master Chen Xuan, is there any way to solve this drawback of the Breathing Technique? We have many young juniors in our Demon Slayer Corps, and I don't want them to die young.]

Thinking of this, Kanroji Mitsuri quickly asked Chen Xuan for a solution.

[Rin Tohsaka: You idiot, didn't you see what the Ripple Breathing Technique looked like when Master Chen Xuan uploaded it? As wise as Master Chen Xuan is, she already had a solution. Otherwise, why would she specifically tell you about the drawbacks of the breathing technique? It's just to prevent you, this love-struck fool, from dying young.]

For the sake of her younger sister Sakura Tohsaka's future, Rin Tohsaka, who was already prepared to become Chen Xuan's number one fangirl, immediately showered Chen Xuan with compliments as soon as Mitsuri Kanroji's news was released.

[Chen Xuan: Just as Rin said, solving the problem of your breathing techniques shortening your lifespan is simple. Just buy a copy of the Ripple Breathing Technique that I uploaded to the shop and practice it.]

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka had set the stage for her, Chen Xuan smoothly took over the topic and began to explain.

[Chen Xuan: Just as I mentioned above, the essence of breathing techniques is the forced development of human potential. The style you practice, derived from Sun Breathing, is alright; although it also forcibly taps into potential, at least it controls the degree of development.]

[Chen Xuan: But the Sun Breathing, the foundation of your breathing techniques, is essentially fighting with your life force. Its power comes from using specific breathing techniques to forcibly convert life force into energy as scorching as the sun. This idea is undeniably interesting. The person who developed this breathing technique must have been a naturally powerful freak; only such a freak would come up with such a crude idea as directly converting life force into energy to enhance its power.]

The Sun Breathing technique developed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, while capable of channeling energy into the Nichirin Blade to transform it into a crimson blade that can entwine and burn demons, halting their regeneration, is all derived from the user's life force.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni was born with a strong life force, which allowed him to withstand the consumption of the Sun Breathing technique. However, an ordinary person would probably be drained after only two uses. This is why Yoriichi Tsugikuni's companions at the time developed the five most common breathing techniques in later generations based on the Sun Breathing technique.

[Chen Xuan: But it's not a big problem. Just buy a copy of the Ripple Breathing Technique that I uploaded to the store, practice it for a while, and you'll be fine.]

After explaining the drawbacks of the breathing technique, Chen Xuan then offered a solution.

[Chen Xuan: This Ripple Breathing technique was deduced by me using a completely opposite approach to Sun Breathing.]

[Chen Xuan: Its function is quite simple: through specific breathing techniques, it exercises the cells of the cultivator's body, thereby maintaining their activity and significantly improving physical fitness and vitality.]

[Kanroji Mitsuri: So that means that as long as we practice this Ripple Breathing Technique, our bodies, which were overdrawn from practicing the technique, can recover?]

When Kanroji Mitsuri heard that the Ripple Breathing Technique could enhance vitality, she immediately asked Chen Xuan about it.

[Chen Xuan: Enhancing vitality is just the most basic application. I mentioned the Ripple Breathing Technique, which I developed with a completely opposite approach to Sun Breathing. Besides enhancing vitality after practice, the Ripple Breathing Technique can also generate a sun-like, scorching energy within the body through a special breathing frequency. And if I'm not mistaken, this energy should have a strong restraining effect on the evil spirits of your world.]

In response to Kanroji Mitsuri's question, Chen Xuan continued to add to it.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Energy like the sun, isn't that the same effect as Sun Breathing?]

As a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, she had some understanding of Sun Breathing. For example, the legendary Crimson Blade used by Sun Breathing users was created by transmitting the sun-like energy generated through the breathing technique onto the Nichirin Blade.

[Chen Xuan: It's different. The energy generated by Sun Breathing is essentially converted from life force, which is why a specially made Nichirin Blade is used to conduct it. However, the Ripple Breathing technique I deduced in reverse can generate energy called Ripple, which can be conducted through all objects.]

Chen Xuan explained again in the group.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Doesn't that mean that as long as we master this Ripple Breathing technique, all members of our Demon Slayer Corps will possess the same ability to suppress demon regeneration as Sun Breathing?]

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes lit up immediately. After all, as long as they practiced this Ripple Breathing technique, their Demon Slayer Corps would essentially have a large number of users of Sun Breathing, and all of them would be able to use the Crimson Blade to suppress the regeneration of demons.

The reason why evil spirits are so difficult to kill is precisely because they surpass human physical abilities and regenerative capabilities. However, the Ripple Breathing Technique developed by Chen Xuan can directly suppress the regeneration of evil spirits, which is equivalent to sealing off their most powerful ability.

[Chen Xuan: Well, the Ripple Breathing Technique actually has a third, albeit insignificant, ability: with long-term practice, it can allow the user to maintain a youthful appearance.]

Chen Xuan, true to form, added another surprising statement in the group chat.

【Ganluji Mituri:! ! ! ! 】

[Kinomoto Sakura: !!! !!! ]

[Rin Tohsaka: !!! !!! !!! ]

[Nami: !!! !!! ! ...

Chapter Twelve: This is the Myriad Manifestations Breathing Technique. With it, you can effortlessly defeat your enemies.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Master Chen Xuan, please make sure you explain this properly!!!]

[Rin Tohsaka: Master Chen Xuan, I want to hear it too, I want to hear it too.]

Upon hearing that the Ripple Breathing Technique also had the effect of maintaining a youthful appearance, Mitsuri Kanroji and Rin Tohsaka immediately jumped out excitedly and pressed Chen Xuan for details.

"Master Chen Xuan, please explain this breathing technique for maintaining youth properly!!!"

Nami, who was standing right next to Chen Xuan, moved closer to him and asked him with shining eyes, as if she had seen gold and silver treasures.

"Well, it's really not a big deal. It's just that after practicing the Ripple Breathing Technique, the cells in the practitioner's body will be in a special state of activity for a long time. Because the cells are in this state for a long time, their vitality will be greatly enhanced, which will slow down the aging of the practitioner's body by several times. In addition, after practicing the Ripple Breathing Technique, the practitioner's vitality will be enhanced. Therefore, as long as the practitioner does not give up training, theoretically, even if they reach the age of one hundred, they can still maintain the youthful appearance they had when they first practiced the Ripple Breathing Technique."

Chen Xuan stroked her chin, organized her thoughts, and continued speaking.

"However, it's just a small gadget that I modified casually. If you want to strengthen your physical body, I still suggest you..."

Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, the group members had already started discussing it.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: To think that as long as one doesn't give up training, one can maintain a youthful appearance even a hundred years later is truly amazing.]

[Nami: That's right, that's right. I never imagined I'd get such a treasure in my lifetime.]

As young girls who love beauty, Mitsuri Kanroji and Nami, upon hearing that the Ripple Breathing Technique could preserve youth, began to fantasize about a wonderful future where they could stay young forever after practicing it.

[Rin Tohsaka: To think that one can maintain youth simply through training? Master Chen Xuan truly lives up to his reputation; even a casual modification can achieve results that a magician in my world might spend a lifetime trying to accomplish.]

As for Rin Tohsaka, the magician, she was once again amazed by Chen Xuan's talent. With just a few casual modifications, he could achieve a level that many magicians might not be able to accomplish even after a lifetime of work.

[Kinomoto Sakura: But Chen Xuan, the two items you just uploaded are so expensive!]

Meng Wang Ying looked at the pricing of the new products uploaded by Chen Xuan in the group store and spoke up in the group.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: One, two, three, four, it actually requires nine thousand points.]

When Kanroji Mitsuri looked at the number 9000 marked under the Ripple Breathing Technique, her eyes instantly lost their luster, simply because she was too poor to afford it.

[Nami: Damn it, why is it so expensive? I wanted to save up points to buy Master Chen Xuan's improved magic formula, but now they've released the Ripple Breathing Technique for eternal youth. I don't have enough points!]

Nami looked at the point pricing in the group store and said with a resentful expression.

Nami had no objection to Chen Xuan's pricing, but the problem was that her points balance didn't allow her to support Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan was getting better and better every day, and the points from the daily check-in group were simply not enough.

[Rin Tohsaka: Anything produced by Master Chen Xuan is guaranteed to be top-notch, and with virtually no side effects. The simple and easily achievable eternal youth is something even the most powerful magicians in my world would only be able to achieve by expending vast resources.]

Rin Tohsaka had no objection to the 9000-point price tag of the uploaded Ripple Breathing Technique, nor did she find anything wrong with it. After all, such a side-effect-free method of achieving eternal youth for only 9000 points was simply too cheap. If she couldn't afford it because she was short of money, that was her problem of not working hard enough, and had nothing to do with her beloved Master Chen Xuan. She firmly supported Master Chen Xuan and would strive to become Master Chen Xuan's number one fangirl.

[Kinomoto Sakura: Big brother Chen Xuan, what is this Universal Breathing Technique? Why does it cost 9? It's even more expensive than the Ripple Breathing Technique!]

Meng Wang Ying looked at the Universal Breathing Technique, which was currently priced at number one in the group store, with surprise and asked.

[Ganlu Temple Mili: 9? ? ? ? 】

Upon hearing the price of 90,000, Ganlu Temple Mitsuri immediately checked the group store. After all, the Myriad Manifestations Breathing Technique was a product of Chen Xuan's improved breathing technique. The Ripple Breathing Technique, which was priced at 9,000 before, was already so powerful, so the Myriad Manifestations Breathing Technique, priced at 90,000, must be even more extraordinary.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: This Omnipotent Technique not only includes all the basic sword techniques of the five styles—water, fire, wind, rock, and lightning—but also incorporates the sword techniques of Sun Breathing.]

Kanroji Mitsuri stared in astonishment at the introduction page of the Universal Breathing Technique. No one in the breathing technique group was more familiar with it than her. Although all breathing techniques originated from the Sun Breathing Technique, the five basic breathing techniques that evolved from it had different cores and were basically incompatible. It wasn't like there weren't exceptionally talented Pillars who had tried to cultivate two breathing techniques at the same time, but all of them ended in failure. However, the Universal Breathing Technique uploaded by Chen Xuan encompassed all breathing techniques. Was it really possible to do that?
