41: Longevity Body, Chaos Qi

Jiang Yunfan used the seed of the Southern Bright Separation Fire to refine his Yinwei Meridian into a Fire Meridian.

Forging two Fire Meridians, his Fire God Technique transformed to Earth Rank Low Grade.

The higher the grade of the Cultivation Technique, the greater its power, and the purer the True Essence.

"You brat, help me break the Seal, and I'll give you another benefit. Go find some Spirit Medicine, and I'll help you forge a Longevity Body."

"What is a Longevity Body? Is it a Physique for eternal life?"

"Exactly. The Longevity Body is a method created by my Master. It refines the Physical Body with the essence of Spirit Medicine, treating the Physical Body as a Medicinal Pill to be forged. It requires a large amount of Spirit Medicine. Upon initial completion, the Longevity Body can increase Lifespan by a thousand years, keep one's appearance youthful, make one immune to all poisons, and grant powerful recovery, allowing for limb regeneration. Its flesh and blood can even save people.

Upon Minor Achievement, the Longevity Body increases Lifespan by five thousand years, allows for Rebirth from a drop of blood, and makes the Physical Body comparable to a sacred medicine.

Upon Major Achievement, the Longevity Body grants an even longer Lifespan. My Master reached this Realm. If he hadn't been killed, his Lifespan could have exceeded that of an Emperor.

As for Perfection, it's comparable to an immortal body.

This Realm requires immortal medicine as a guide, making it almost impossible to achieve, unless one achieves Ascension to the Immortal Realm."

It sounded incredibly impressive.

Only Dharma Idol Realm Giants could live for a thousand years.

The Longevity Body, even at initial completion, could increase Lifespan by a thousand years.

And it could keep one's appearance youthful.

He absolutely had to Cultivate the Longevity Body.

Jiang Yunfan entered seclusion to Cultivate and comprehend the chaos smelting furnace.

He was determined to Master this Supreme Divine Ability no matter what.

The eight trigrams furnace transformed into a streak of light and entered Jiang Yunfan's body, settling within him... [Today's Intelligence (Orange): Tens of thousands of miles away, on Sword Emperor Mountain, there is a sword-shaped grass.]

[Today's Intelligence (red): The Myriad Treasures Hall has collected an Earth Spirit Stone, which can be used to assist Cultivation in the Spirit Transformation Realm.]

[Today's Intelligence (White): Outer Sect Disciple Li Ji has broken through to the Innate Realm.]

...Two months passed in a flash.

The System released one piece of intelligence daily.

Jiang Yunfan paid no heed.

Hard work pays off, and he finally succeeded in mastering the chaos smelting furnace, this Supreme Divine Ability.

Time to test its power.

Jiang Yunfan unleashed the chaos smelting furnace.

A colossal Cauldron appeared.

He took out a pile of Spirit Stones and threw them in.

The chaos smelting furnace was incredibly domineering, instantly refining these Spirit Stones into the most fundamental Chaos Qi, though it was pseudo-Chaos Qi, not true Chaos Qi.

Looking at the grey, hazy Qi in the chaos smelting furnace, Jiang Yunfan was a bit bewildered. Tens of thousands of Spirit Stones were thrown in and turned into this single wisp of grey, hazy Qi.

What exactly was this thing?

"System, what is this energy? Give me its related intelligence."

[Today's Intelligence (red): The chaos smelting furnace is a Supreme Divine Ability that can smelt all things, returning them to their Origin and transforming them into Chaos Qi. The Qi in the chaos smelting furnace is pseudo-Chaos Qi, an energy higher than Spiritual Qi.]

Pseudo-Chaos Qi, an energy even higher than Spiritual Qi.

Jiang Yunfan immediately absorbed the Chaos Qi from the chaos smelting furnace. The Chaos Qi was incredibly domineering; his Meridians couldn't withstand its power, causing damage to his Meridians. He quickly redirected the Chaos Qi to his Fire Meridian, which prevented him from being harmed by the Chaos Qi.

Such powerful Chaos Qi, even my Meridians can't bear it.

It seems only those who have Cultivated the Chaos Heavenly Scripture are suitable for Cultivating the Divine Ability of the chaos smelting furnace.

Although he hadn't Cultivated the Chaos Heavenly Scripture, the Fire Meridian he had Cultivated was not bad and could absorb and refine Chaos Qi.

After refining the Chaos Qi, Jiang Yunfan's True Essence surged. He opened dozens of acupoints in succession, just one step away from breaking through to the Mid-stage Profound Comprehension Realm.

He threw more Spirit Stones into the chaos smelting furnace.

Continuously refining Chaos Qi, he finally opened a hundred acupoints.

A powerful aura emanated from Jiang Yunfan's body, and his Cultivation Level naturally broke through to the Mid-stage Profound Comprehension Realm.

Jiang Yunfan did not stop Cultivating. He continued to use the chaos smelting furnace to refine Spirit Stones, and the Chaos Qi obtained from the refining was used to temper his Meridians.

Although it would damage his Meridians, the Meridians tempered by Chaos Qi would become tougher, laying a solid foundation for him to refine Spirit Fire in the future.

[Today's Intelligence (Orange): Tomorrow will be the Lingxiao Sect's Sect Grand Competition. All Inner Sect Disciples can participate. The champion will receive one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones and a treasure. The treasure for the Profound Connection Realm champion is a drop of golden body fluid. The golden body fluid can temper the Physical Body and strengthen the Meridians.]

Jiang Yunfan stopped Cultivating.

"Has the Sect Grand Competition started so soon?"

"I am determined to win the Profound Connection Realm championship."

Jiang Yunfan wanted to obtain the golden body fluid.

"Yaoer has come out of seclusion; I should go see her."

He had received intelligence about Yaoer coming out of seclusion during his own closed-door Cultivation, but at the time, he was at a critical juncture in comprehending the chaos smelting furnace, so he hadn't left seclusion.

He left the main hall and flew towards Moon Gazing Peak.

As soon as he arrived at Moon Gazing Peak, he was blocked by a handsome man.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

"I am Li Chenxiang, a Disciple of Moon Gazing Peak. Who are you? What are you doing at Moon Gazing Peak?"

"My name is Jiang Yunfan, and I am Ji Yao's husband. I'm family."

He was Jiang Yunfan.

Li Chenxiang's eyes turned cold, "Who is family with you? You are completely unworthy of Junior Sister Ji."

Jiang Yunfan said unhappily, "I am now a True Disciple. How am I unworthy?"

"Besides, whether I'm worthy or not has nothing to do with you. You wouldn't happen to like Ji Yao, would you!"

"You look like a woman, Chenxiang, even your name is a woman's name."

Jiang Yunfan's sharp tongue left Li Chenxiang utterly speechless.

"Damn it."

In a fit of rage, Li Chenxiang attacked Jiang Yunfan with a palm strike. Not only did this strike fail to harm Jiang Yunfan, but he was instead sent flying by a powerful rebound force.

"cold iron heart-protecting mirror."

Li Chenxiang, using his Spiritual Sense, perceived the cold iron heart-protecting mirror within Jiang Yunfan, and jealousy arose in his heart, "I didn't expect Junior Sister Ji to give you the defensive Spiritual Artifact, the cold iron heart-protecting mirror, that Master bestowed upon her."

Jiang Yunfan said, "Yaoer gave me such a precious treasure, which shows she truly loves me. Of course, I also truly love her."

Li Chenxiang was provoked. Junior Sister Ji could never like Jiang Yunfan, this matrilocal son-in-law. "I'd like to see how long the cold iron heart-protecting mirror can protect you."

Li Chenxiang continued to attack, trying to deplete Jiang Yunfan's True Essence.

"Stop."

A clear, cold voice came.

Ji Yao suddenly appeared.

"Yaoer."

Jiang Yunfan excitedly came to Ji Yao's side.

Ji Yao questioned Li Chenxiang, "Senior Brother, why did you attack my husband?"

Jiang Yunfan said, "Your Senior Brother said I was unworthy of you and attacked me, trying to kill me."

"Shut up, who was trying to kill you?"

"Of course it was you! You attacked me just now. If it weren't for my cold iron heart-protecting mirror, I would have been dead or injured."

Li Chenxiang was afraid Ji Yao would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Junior Sister, it's not like that, it's him..."

Before he could finish, Ji Yao interrupted him, "Senior Brother, Yunfan is my husband. I will not allow anyone to harm him. Whoever harms him is my enemy. If Senior Brother doesn't want to be my enemy, then don't make trouble for him in the future."

Ji Yao's words were like a knife piercing deeply into Li Chenxiang's heart, causing him immense pain.

Enemy.

She actually considered him an enemy.

Li Chenxiang gave Jiang Yunfan a resentful look before leaving.
