Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

Puff...puff...puff...

Inside the stone pot, bubbles kept bursting on the surface of the dark red medicinal liquid.

"Roar!!"

A ferocious roar echoed across the deserted island!

A phantom of a Xuanwing Flying Bear, over ten zhang tall and resembling a small mountain, leaped out from the stone pot!

It was clearly formed from the condensed resentment of residual blood essence, yet the phantom was incredibly clear.

Its fluffy black fur shimmered with a dull metallic luster, and the flapping of its two dark wings stirred up a gale. Its eyes were fierce and furious as it glared directly at Lu Zaian.

"Behave yourself!"

Lu Zaian kept adding spirit fire charcoal to the stone pot while throwing out blood spirit beads!

Everything is ready; do you think mere resentment can stop me?

The Blood Spirit Orb shone brightly in the air.

In an instant, the massive black shadow of the Xuanwing Flying Bear in the sky vanished like a pierced dark cloud!

Without hesitation, Lu Zaian stripped off all his clothes and leaped into the boiling medicinal liquid.

"Blood Spirit Protection, refine it for me!!"

Lu Zaian closed his eyes tightly, his whole body, including his head, submerged in the medicinal liquid.

The radiance emanating from the Blood Spirit Orb transformed into a thin layer of blood scab, which then solidified to protect the body.

The scorching heat penetrated into every pore of my body through a layer of scabs.

fiery!

It's so tingly!

pain!

Several strange flavors took turns, repeatedly strengthening An's flesh, fascia, limbs, and bones.

Lu Zaian knew that this was precisely the process of absorbing the medicinal power...

In his mind, the various combat instincts of the Xuan Chi Flying Bear began to emerge.

Amidst the vast mountains and forests.

On the hilltop, a pack of saber-toothed demon wolves surrounded a black-winged flying bear.

The weakest of the dozens of saber-toothed demon wolves was a first-tier high-grade wolf, and their fangs, beneath their fangs, were as fierce as swords and daggers!

The wolf king, who was the leader, was a second-tier low-grade wolf, with a slender, agile, and powerful body!

Awooo! Awooo!

At the wolf king's command, the wolf pack rushed forward and pounced, tearing and slicing with their fangs!

However, the Black-Winged Flying Bear was not afraid at all. It roared to the sky and charged forward fiercely!

Like a moving hill, carrying immense power!

Trees snapped and rocks shattered along the way; any wolf demon that dared to stand in its way was smashed to pieces!

Destroy everything!

More demonic wolves pounced from the left and right, their saber teeth piercing the body of the Black-Winged Flying Bear, but were blocked by its thick fur and iron-like flesh, unable to advance an inch.

The Black-winged Flying Bear swung its enormous paws wildly!

The strong wind alone tore the demon wolf in two!

As for the blind spots on its back, it simply flaps its wings, creating a gust of wind to throw them off.

Then it rolled its massive body and crushed the demon wolf into a pulp!

In an instant, the wolf pack suffered heavy casualties, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The wolf king let out a long howl, attempting to change tactics.

The wolf pack spread out, and their sharp fangs unleashed crescent-shaped demonic spells, attacking the Black-Winged Flying Bear from a distance!

The Black-Winged Flying Bear ignored them.

Those attacks were like tickling it.

Its black wings flapped on its back, yet its enormous body moved with remarkable speed.

It pounced on the wolf king on the hill like Mount Tai pressing down!

The Black-Winged Flying Bear does not possess any sorcery.

But absolute brute force is its strongest sorcery!

This flying pounce, combining speed and brute force, is enough to crush everything in its path!

The wolf king's eyes showed fear, and with a mournful howl, it turned and leaped down the hill to escape.

Fortunately, it dodged quickly, and half of the mountain was shattered by the enraged attack of the Black-Winged Flying Bear!

The remaining wolf remnants also tucked their tails between their legs and fled into the mountains and forests.

All that remained was the blood-soaked Xuanwing Flying Bear, which shattered the mountaintop and roared to the sky!

The Savage Bear Demon is complete!

.........

An hour!

Three hours!

one day one Night.

Ninety percent of the medicinal liquid in the stone pot disappeared, turning into something like clear water.

Lu Zaian's body was extremely red, and a muffled thunderous roar came from his bones. His blood and qi were already boiling and full.

"Qi and blood transform into flames, flowing throughout the body, refining the body and building the foundation, break through!!!"

Lu Zaian suddenly opened his eyes.

Crimson flames burst forth from every pore of his body, transforming into actual burning blood flames!

Accompanied by a pillar of blood shooting skyward, dozens of feet high!

The clouds above the isolated island were tinged with a blood-red hue, resembling a fiery sunset.

"Qi and blood transform into fuel, flames ignite into power, body refinement and foundation building are complete!"

Lu Zaian laughed loudly and was about to leap into the air when he suddenly felt a change within his body.

"...Huh? What's this? Even the Longevity Body has changed?"

Lu Zai'an looked inward and found that the life-origin fire belonging to the Longevity Dao Body had also grown stronger.

No matter how much of his vital energy he burns, his immortal body can quickly replenish it.

"The self-healing power of the Longevity Body has become stronger again, and it seems that I can..."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zaian's bones crackled and popped, and his flesh and fascia began to change.

next moment.

Lu Zaian transformed into a handsome young man with fair skin and black hair!

"Consuming a massive amount of life force and soul power, the Longevity Body can actually fundamentally alter one's life essence?!"

A surge of delight flashed in Lu Zaian's eyes. He discovered that this transformation technique seemed to be an instinct of the Longevity Body.

Unlike Lu Zaian, who previously controlled bone shrinkage and muscle micro-adjustments through body refinement, this was different.

Any cultivator who is a level higher than Lu Zaian or has exceptional eyesight could see that change.

The transformation of the immortal body is even more thorough.

It was as if he had truly become a different person.

It can even alter bone age, life force, and soul energy!

"This seems to be an evolutionary function of the Longevity Body, or you could say it's a self-protection mechanism..."

Lu Zaian had also heard in Huangze City that some cultivators with rare Dao bodies might not stand out at first.

Until they break through to a certain level, or meet certain conditions.

The power of the Dao body will gradually be revealed...

The most famous one Lu Zaian knew was a female disciple of the White Snow Palace.

It is said that she possesses a flawless body.

This is a Dao body that can completely absorb spiritual energy and power without any waste.

It should be understood that even if ordinary cultivators consume spiritual objects or pills that are compatible with their own attributes, they can only absorb 60% to 70% of them.

However, the body without leaks can absorb 100% of it, which shows its power.

However, when the female disciple was first discovered by the White Snow Palace, she was only found to have a low-grade spiritual root!

Now it's embarrassing.

Despite possessing a flawless body, the speed at which he absorbs and refines spiritual energy is as slow as a snail's pace.

She was unable to unleash the full power of her flawless body.

Later, the entire White Snow Palace spent a huge amount of resources to upgrade her spiritual root to an earth spiritual root.

This is how the power of her flawless body was brought into play.

Now, it is said that the female disciple is only forty years old, yet she has already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment...

In comparison, Lu Zaian's immortal body is even more extraordinary.

The functions of immortality and healing alone are sufficient to eliminate the need for further power.

All he needs is the ability to protect himself and hide.

An ability that is too extraordinary is often not easily discovered.

If Lu Zaian had not obtained the Blood Spirit Pearl to refine his body...

Even if they didn't obtain Xiao Yi's "Heavenly Spiritual Root" talent.

Given his original low-grade aptitude, it was absolutely impossible for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage at over eighty years old!

It's even possible for someone to be one or two hundred years old and still in the Qi Refining stage.

In this way, any cultivator who can see through Lu Zai'an's bone age will be suspicious!

How can a Qi Refining cultivator like you live to be over a hundred or two hundred years old?!

There is definitely a problem!

What awaits Lu Zaian will be absolutely devastating consequences...

Fortunately, Lu Zaian was lucky.

After breaking through the Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment stages, the Longevity Dao Body also advanced further, evolving the ability to transform.

Now, even a Core Formation True Person or a Nascent Soul True Monarch would be unable to see through Lu Zaian's bone age and transformation techniques.

Moreover, Lu Zaian is now around eighty years old and has reached the cultivation level of Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment.

Even if one were to appear normally in the cultivation world, it wouldn't attract any extra attention...

Swish!

Lu Zaian returned to his original form in a flash.

Maintaining the art of change requires a continuous consumption of life force and soul force.

There's no need to use it when you're alone.

A mirror of water appeared before him, reflecting his current appearance.

He still had flowing silver hair, thick white eyebrows, and eyes that were even more profound than the sea. He had a white stubble on his chin, and his face was weathered and resolute.

He's a total handsome older man.

Lu Zaian's earlier guess was wrong.

Even after breaking through to the Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment stage, he did not regain his youth.

He established his foundation at around eighty years old, and his appearance was already fixed; at most, he could be said to look younger.

However, Lu Zaian didn't care; age meant nothing to him.

He doesn't rely on his looks for a living; as long as he's not so ugly that even flowers and plants would be satisfied...
