The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

"The only difference is that Chen Changsheng now controls far too many resources."

"Therefore, he no longer needs to use such methods to undermine the enemy's power."

“Our foundation in the Dan Era is too weak. Without this method, how can we take a bite out of the fat meat?”

"This is what Chen Changsheng meant by going with the flow."

"The reforms of the Dan Era have gained momentum, and no organization or force can stop such actions."

"If we want to survive here, we can only follow the trend of the times."

"No matter what our goals are or what methods we use, as long as they are aligned with the grand goals of this era, we will naturally be able to achieve everything we desire."

After hearing Wang Hao's answer, Liu Yidao nodded and said, "It has to be Second Master; he always sees things so clearly."

"Stop flattering me. I'm not Chen Changsheng, so I don't fall for that."

"Let's go, let's search slowly in the direction of the aristocratic families."

"Let's see which of the five surnames will be the next unlucky one."

......

An unnamed little world.

"Pfft~"

Long Aotian, who was healing his wounds, spat out a mouthful of blood.

As he coughed up blood, Long Aotian's aura weakened once again.

Although he had a slight advantage in the battle with Lu Jun, his physical body suffered irreversible damage.

Even with the Bitter Sea system and the Dragon Blood's blessing, Long Aotian still couldn't control the worsening of his injuries.

"Gurgle!"

After popping another pill into his mouth, Long Aotian's mood became even heavier.

Now that I've left the team, Mengde and the others will have one less source of support.

In this perilous environment, they could be wiped out at any moment.

However, just as Long Aotian was getting anxious, a blurry figure appeared in front of him.

"brush!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Long Aotian stood up and assumed an attack stance.

Who are you?

He asked the question cautiously, and alarm bells rang in Long Aotian's mind.

This person's strength seemed to exceed his comprehension.

"You don't need to know who I am; you only need to know that I saved you."

"Although Chen Xiao's physical cultivation method is unique, it will only harm both the enemy and himself before it is mastered."

“After the battle with Lu Jun, you should have died on the spot, but I stepped in and helped stabilize your injuries.”

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for saving my life, senior. May I ask what purpose you have in seeking me out?"

"My purpose in contacting you is simple: you need to help me obtain the reward for the third level."

"Senior, aren't you overestimating me? There are so many outstanding talents these days, I'm not confident I can win the championship."

"You can't be sure on your own, but with my help, you have a chance."

"With such high cultivation, why don't you go and claim the reward for the third level yourself?"

"Moreover, there are quite a few people stronger than me among this generation of prodigies, so why did the senior choose me in particular?"

Faced with Long Aotian's probing, the blurry figure spoke up, "Shadow Fiend has already received investment, and Mo Bai possesses an extremely powerful cultivation technique."

"Besides, both of them are Chen Changsheng's key targets for observation. I didn't want to get involved, so I chose you."

"If you can get the reward for the third level, the opportunity I give you will exceed your imagination."

"What if the younger generation fails?"

"If I fail, consider today's encounter a good connection, and I will continue to look for others later."

With that, the blurry figure pointed with its right hand, and Long Aotian completely lost his ability to move.

"Your physical foundation has been severely damaged, and your vital energy has been greatly depleted."

"Frequently activating divine power at this time will only worsen these injuries."

“If it were any other cultivator, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but you are a body cultivator, and a rather unique one at that.”

"Once your physical body is severely damaged, your path to enlightenment will be completely severed."

"Now I'm going to teach you a body-strengthening method. You need to watch carefully and try to understand its true meaning."

After speaking, the blurry figure performed a set of unremarkable movements in front of Long Aotian.

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the intricacies. As the direct disciple of the Holy Emperor, Long Aotian naturally knew that this was an extremely exquisite body-tempering method.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea quickly passed, and after the blurry figure finished demonstrating the body-tempering method, he released Long Aotian from his restraints.

Did you see what I just did clearly?

The blurry figure spoke, asking a question.

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian thought for a moment and said, "I have memorized all the movements, but I have only grasped 30% of the true meaning within them."

"It's already quite good to be able to comprehend 30% of it. I'll tell you the incantation for this body-tempering method in a moment."

"After you learn it, practice diligently, and your current injuries will heal in no time."

As he spoke, the blurry figure raised his hand, gesturing for Long Aotian to sit down.

The two sat cross-legged facing each other.

"I have heard a little about the Holy Emperor's physical cultivation method. Although I do not know how intricate its methods are, I do understand the general principles."

"Besides his extraordinary comprehension, the Holy Emperor's ability to achieve this unparalleled physical body also relied heavily on his Daoist partner."

"The Immortal Physician was trained by the Imperial Tutor and also inherited the medical skills of a powerful figure from the Four Realms and Three Realms, as well as a mysterious person."

"Her medical skills are among the best in the world."

"The most unavoidable thing about following the path of the physical body is the damage that the physical body will suffer during cultivation and combat."

"Ordinary cultivators don't place too much importance on this aspect because their skills don't entirely rely on their physical bodies."

"On the contrary, body cultivators rely on a pure and powerful physical body."

"The physical body of a body cultivator is difficult to destroy, but once it is injured, it is also extremely difficult to repair."

Upon receiving this answer, Long Aotian asked in confusion, "Senior, there are countless miraculous medicines in the world. Repairing the physical body is not a difficult thing."

Why are you focusing on this issue?

"Because the physical body of a body cultivator must remain pure, alchemy and medicine may seem similar, but they are quite different in essence."

"The way of alchemy emphasizes harmonizing the energy of rare and precious materials, so that those who take the elixir can increase their cultivation and detoxify and heal their injuries."

"The way of medicine is to strengthen the body's foundation and eliminate the root cause of disease."

"The goal of body cultivation is to develop the physical body to its fullest potential."

"Under such circumstances, any minor problem in your body will be magnified infinitely."

"Medicine can only help you solve the problems caused by the root cause of the disease, but it cannot help you remove the root cause of the disease."

"Only a master healer can help you achieve this."

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian frowned and said, "According to what you said, senior, does that mean I also need to learn medicine?"

"It's no use!"

“Cultivating the Great Dao requires talent. If you don’t have the talent for medicine, you won’t achieve anything even if you try to learn it.”

"But besides medicine, traditional body cultivation also had another method for repairing the root causes of these ailments."
