Wuxia: Slay enemies to boost your cultivation; my power is boundless!

They looted everything off the corpse.

Xiao Bieli arrived at Shen Zong's study and dug out a small bronze box under the first bluestone slab at the entrance of the study.

Opening the small bronze box revealed a tattered map inside.

The texture is exactly the same as the map that Xiao Bieli obtained from Liu Fusheng before.

Xiao Bieli pieced the two maps together, but it was obvious that the two maps could not be pieced together at all; they were not two connected maps.

However, Xiao Bieli didn't care.

For him, the so-called treasure was merely a pastime to pass the time when he was bored.

Now that he has the Longevity Manual, all he needs to do is quietly accumulate experience!

……

[Host: Xiao Bieli.]

[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Fourth-Rank Grandmaster]

[Martial Arts: Yi Jin Jing (Perfect), Medicine King's Divine Scripture (Perfect), Drawing Sword Technique (Perfect)... Avici Hell Three Swords (Perfect), Turtle Breathing Technique (Perfect), Divine Sword Slash (5/100), Sword Intent, Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Light as a Swallow.]

[Experience value: 169540]

[To be claimed: The Longevity Manual!]

night.

In the desert, Xiao Bieli sat cross-legged beside a campfire.

A leg of lamb was roasting over the campfire.

By this time, the lamb leg had been roasted until golden brown on both sides, and the aroma was irresistible.

"extract!"

Looking at the Longevity Mantra waiting to be claimed on the system panel, Xiao Bieli spoke softly.

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, countless methods of cultivating the Longevity Technique flooded into Xiao Bieli's mind, along with a wealth of cultivation experience.

[Longevity Manual (5/100, can be integrated and absorbed from Yi Jin Jing)]

After a while,

Xiao Bieli opened his eyes and murmured:

"As expected of the Longevity Formula!"

"The reason why heaven and earth can endure and last long is that they do not live for themselves; therefore, they can live long..."

"This Longevity Technique is different from ordinary martial arts. Ordinary internal cultivation methods first develop internal strength, and then, once the level is high enough, the acquired strength is transformed into innate true energy. But the Longevity Technique is different. From the very beginning, it cultivates innate true energy, following the natural way, and can even simultaneously temper the ancestral aperture and cultivate spiritual power!"

"This is why Kou and Xu were able to barely fight against second-rate or even first-rate experts in Huang Yi's world after only cultivating one of the seven diagrams of the Longevity Technique."

"Then Kou and Xu were destined to die, and their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and they became top masters in a short period of time."

"However, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling only practiced two diagrams, while I alone practiced seven diagrams. My understanding of the Longevity Technique is far beyond theirs."

"This Longevity Qi not only prolongs life, but its destructive power is even greater than that of the Tendon Changing Qi. The Longevity Technique is probably considered a top-tier divine skill in this world!"

"But this fusion and absorption... could it be that the Yi Jin Jing can be transformed into the Longevity Qi?"

"Absorption and integration!"

boom!

As Xiao Bieli finished speaking, the Yi Jin True Qi within his body rapidly transformed into Longevity True Qi.

【The Secret to Longevity (20/100)】

[Each 1% increase in proficiency with the Longevity Technique requires 10,000 experience points (a 3% increase is required for advancement at the fourth-grade Grandmaster level).]

In an instant, his proficiency in the Longevity Technique surged to 20%.

Although his cultivation level remained unchanged, Xiao Bieli could clearly feel that the quality of his internal energy had improved significantly, and even some hidden injuries left from cultivating those external martial arts to perfection were healed in an instant.

Physical functions are elevated to their peak!

"One percent of proficiency requires ten thousand experience points, just as I expected!"

"To reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm, there are still three minor realms to go, which is 90,000 experience points."

"Luckily, I have a lot of experience!"

"Consuming 90,000 experience points to upgrade the Longevity Technique!"

boom!

As Xiao Bieli finished speaking, countless experiences from cultivating the Longevity Technique flooded his mind, as if he had been diligently cultivating the Longevity Technique day and night for countless years.

at the same time,

A surge of extremely pure longevity energy flowed into Xiao Bieli's body.

Rumble!

Xiao Bieli's aura surged dramatically, his ancestral aperture between his brows was polished to a seamless state, and the spiritual power residing within it increased several times over. Even the hazy phantom of his primordial spirit nearly solidified.

He was just one step away from reaching the third-grade Grandmaster realm, where a primordial spirit could be born.

[Realm Level: Peak Grandmaster!]

【The Secret to Longevity (29/100)】

[Each 1% increase in proficiency with the Longevity Technique requires 10,000 experience points (advancing from a fourth-grade Grandmaster to a third-grade Great Grandmaster requires 6% proficiency).]

A moment later, Xiao Bieli opened his eyes.

Six percent!

"I have nearly 80,000 experience points left. I'll consume 60,000 experience points to upgrade the Longevity Technique!"

【The Secret to Longevity (35/100)】

boom!

Another surge of immense true essence flowed into Xiao Bieli's body, causing his aura to rise steadily. At the same time, his spiritual power also increased rapidly!

puff!

Finally, the bottleneck between a fourth-grade Grandmaster and a third-grade Great Grandmaster was broken.

A transparent primordial spirit sat cross-legged in the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows.

He has reached the third-grade Grandmaster realm!

"Finally, I feel comfortable!"

Xiao Bieli opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Use all the remaining experience to upgrade Divine Blade Slash!"

【Divine Blade Slash (24/100)】

boom!

Countless experiences from practicing the Divine Blade Slash flooded into Xiao Bieli's mind.

After the infusion was finished, Xiao Bieli took the roasted lamb leg off the campfire, not caring that it was too hot to eat, took a big bite, and then drank a mouthful of the good wine he had brought from Juyang City.

……

The next day.

Oasis Market.

Although this place is called a market, it is much larger than Liusha Town, which Xiao Bieli had visited before.

Its liveliness is unmatched by Liusha Town.

Merchants and wandering swordsmen came and went in an endless stream.

Xiao Bieli, with a knife at his waist and wearing a bamboo hat that partially concealed his face, walked into the largest restaurant in the Oasis Market, casually took out a gold leaf, and tossed it to the waiter.

"Bring me all the best food from your restaurant!"

This action stunned both the shopkeeper and the waiter.

Even the innkeeper himself served Xiao Bieli attentively, bringing out the best wines and aged spirits from the restaurant.

"Manager Hou, what do you mean by this?"

"I want to buy the liquor you've been hiding for over ten years, but you wouldn't sell it. Why are you selling it now?"

This has caused dissatisfaction among some regular customers of the restaurant.

Someone laughed:

"That's because you didn't give enough silver!"

"If you give me gold leaves, I'd give you anything, not just liquor, even the landlady..."

Xiao Bieli paid no attention to what the drinkers were saying.

He was just a fourth-grade Grandmaster at the early stage back then, so he was very timid and hesitant, but things are different now.

Even the king of the desert, 'Camel Bell Venerable' Zhuomuer, was only a third-grade Grandmaster!

He's already a third-grade Grandmaster, what's the point of being so shady?

This oasis market is the only way to enter Fengying Manor from the south. Since Cheng Ran said that the people from Cangyuan Sword Sect will arrive at Fengying Manor tomorrow, judging by the time, we can only get to this oasis market today.

We'll wait for them here.
