Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 111 - 101: Change, the new purple qi movement!

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged in the room, having completely adjusted his state.

He picked up a Blood Dragon Herb.

Though it’s called Blood Dragon Herb, it is not actually a spiritual plant irrigated with dragon blood.

If it were truly a spiritual plant nurtured with dragon blood, the price wouldn’t be the same.

This is a special product of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, supposedly cultivated with the blood of a metamorphosed python. And in order to enhance its value, they all call it Blood Dragon Herb.

Once the word ‘dragon’ is associated with any genius or treasure, its value naturally skyrockets.

That’s because true dragons come from the upper realm, and their Dragon Ancestor was a primordial creature born without parents.

The next moment, he threw the Blood Dragon Herb into his mouth and slowly chewed it.

In an instant, the juices turned into a stream of heat that entered his body.

He immediately felt his body’s temperature gradually rise, his qi and blood began to boil, and his heartbeat became stronger.

He could feel that under the effect of this juice, his qi and blood power became stronger.

But upon careful realization, these changes were also limited.

He slowly opened his eyes, swallowing the Blood Dragon Herb in his mouth.

Then he casually picked up the remaining four Blood Dragon Herbs in front of him.

“I hope it works,” he muttered.

Then he threw all of them into his mouth, chewed them a couple of times, and swallowed them.

The next moment, he quickly closed his eyes, refining the medicinal power.

In a moment.

Under the stimulation of this power, he felt his internal qi and blood suddenly become violent, no longer flowing sluggishly like before.

But instead it transformed into a surging river of qi and blood, “gurgling” through his blood vessels.

At this moment, it seemed as if his blood had turned into a raging, roaring dragon.

Steam continuously rose from his head, making his skin turn red.

It worked!

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

Under his internal view, he could see that under the pull of this power, the originally dormant golden particles in his blood were waking up, constantly multiplying.

Even a chain reaction was beginning to develop, Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Next, these golden particles doubled, tripled.

In an instant, they became endless. His blood was gleaming with infinite specks of gold, looking extremely noble and mysterious.

But compared to the total volume of the surging river of red blood in his body.

This was just a drop in the ocean.

Just then, even though his eyes were closed for internal view, he saw a prompt appeared.

[You have completed the Destiny Change, activating a new inborn luck power: Human Emperor’s bloodline (Purple)] Purple?

Jiang Yang opened his eyes in surprise.

Originally, the innate luck power that he expected to activate was Vigorous Qi and Blood (White).

However, such a mutation has now occurred.

It made his heart very excited, and he quickly looked at his Personal Dashboard.

[Human Emperor’s Bloodline]: Possesses the same bloodline as the ancient Human Emperor, it can improve qualifications, enhance the physical body, and naturally possess extraordinary power, and unrivalled in combat. Even in old age, it can briefly stimulate the power of qi and blood, return to their peak state.

After reading this description, Jiang Yuan had only one word in his heart.

Strong!

Now, as his blood underwent some transformation.

Jiang Yuan felt that every place in his body where his blood has flowed was subtly changing.

His entire body seemed to be transforming because of these golden particles.

This transformation was persistent, and its impact far-reaching.

He felt as though his body contained a tremendous amount of power.

Under the blessing of this mighty qi and blood, he felt as if he possessed infinite power in his body.

It gave him a sense of illusion as if he could shake the earth and heaven!

Moreover, under its influence, he found that even without doing anything, his divine soul was slowly strengthening. He opened his own Status Panel.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: Fourth Level of Meridian Breaking

[Innate Luck Power]: Ancient Double Pupils (Gold), Longevity Immortal

(Purple), Human Emperor’s Bloodline (Purple), Body of Dragon and Tiger (Blue), Born Wisdom Root (Blue), Divine Soul Condensation (Blue), Divine

Archer (Blue) [Luck Power]: 1435 strands

[Luck Seed]: None

Then, he closed it with satisfaction.

He then took out an arrow from his storage ring.

“I’m curious to see if my blood has really changed,” Jiang Yuan muttered to himself.

He lightly scraped the arrowhead against his arm, and saw a faint white mark on the depressed skin.

This…

Jiang Yuan was taken aback, a little stunned.

“It can’t break my skin?” he wondered aloud.

He applied more force again, but even so, the scratches on the skin merely got deeper and no blood was oozing out.

Jiang Yuan immediately stopped, stared incredulously at his own arm, and then looked at the arrow in his hand.

“Could this be a fake?”

He drove the arrow into the ground, piercing through the floor like it was tofu.

“Is… is my skin really this tough?”

Jiang Yuan was once again dumbstruck.

He had never been injured before, he had never imagined that he was impervious to blades, and not just ordinary blades at that.

This arrow was paired with a triple prohibition strong bow, with some Dao markings reinforced on the arrowhead.

This considerably enhanced the hardness and sharpness of this arrow, far exceeding ordinary weapons!

Even so, the fact that he couldn’t break his own defense surprised Jiang Yuan immensely.

He had never imagined that his defense would be so strong before.

Then, he picked up the arrow again, fiercely stabbing it into his own palm.

A drop of red blood slowly overflowed from his palm, falling abruptly once it was full.

It fell to the ground, solidifying without dispersing, with glimmers of gold sparkling within the blood drop, radiating mystical light.

Jiang Yuan looked at the drop of blood in front of him, waved his hand, and it evaporated instantly.

Then, he glanced at his own palm where the minor wound had completely healed, with no sign of injury visible.

As for the physical energy consumed to repair such a wound, he did not notice any change.

“So powerful!” He muttered.

This speed of healing wounds would be terrifying in a life and death battle.

An arrow with three prohibitions couldn’t easily break his defense. In such a situation, during life and death battles, he could ignore most attacks, directly relying on his physical body to resist.

On the other hand, if the opponent was weak and he could seize the opportunity, they could be killed in an instant.

With these considerations, Jiang Yuan became even more determined in his path to a saintly body and an immortal soul.

Since he had the privilege to choose, he would have it all.

Partial knowledge was never the optimal choice!

Once he understood this, he exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Then, he took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring, a Qi Absorbing Pill of second level which ranked among top-grade items.

Chief Mu had mentioned when he handed this bottle of pills to him during the day.

If there were no accidents, after taking all these pills, his realm could break through by another level.

Compared to a thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, this was truly a significant reward.

If this were to be auctioned, this great item could at least go for a price of three to five thousand, or even more.

Because high-quality Qi Absorbing Pills are filled with pure spiritual energy and contain less impurities.

Even if they consume a large amount of pills at this level, it wouldn’t affect their foundation significantly, making it incredibly beneficial for true high-level cultivators.

The only thing limiting them from breaking through realms faster was their divine soul.

Worldly treasures that can enhance the divine soul are extremely rare and precious, and any of these would sell at a tremendously high price.

More importantly, if one’s power all comes from enhancing one’s cultivation with such heavenly treasures or pills, the future achievement of such a cultivator would definitely be limited.

They may be able to achieve the Spiritual Sea realm easily, as long as they form a field of elixir in their spiritual sea.

But the Divine Bridge realm isn’t something they can achieve merely by relying on resources.

It requires the understanding of the power of heaven and earth and insight into the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.

Establish a connection between Man and Heaven, replacing the heart of heaven with one’s own and mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

Within their reach, they can form a small world of their own, exercising some of the authorities of heaven and earth.

These thoughts flashed through Jiang Yuan’s mind.

Then, he dispersed the distracting thoughts, opened that bottle of pills, scanned it with his divine sense. It was just as Chief Mu had said, twenty round jade-like pills were in the bottle.

An intoxicating fragrance of herbs filled the room instantly.

Just by smelling this fragrance, Jiang Yuan felt the spiritual energies within him becoming agitated.

“What a nice thing indeed!” he exclaimed.

He then took out a Qi Absorbing Pill and noticed two clear dan patterns – the symbols of a second-grade pill – on it.

The next moment.

He put the Qi Absorbing Pill into his mouth, it instantly became salivated.

He felt wisps of gentle spiritual energy flowing into various parts of his body along his tongue.

This spiritual energy was incredibly soothing, far less violent than the spiritual energy from the outside world. Jiang Yuan felt that a slight refinement would instantly turn it into usable energy for him. It’s truly that you get what you pay for!

He lamented in his heart.

Only after trying a pill for the first time did he fully understand why those pills are sold at such high prices.

High prices do have their reasons.

A swallow, and the pill instantly dropped into his stomach.

In an instant, myriad wisps of gentle spiritual energy spread out from his stomach. Upon receiving this spiritual energy, his cells transmitted bursts of joyful cheers.

Jiang Yuan promptly steadied his spirit, preparing to refine the pill and open up his spiritual veins.

In a blink, one night had passed.

The next day, Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a turbid breath. Then there was a smile on his face. Following an overnight refinement,

he had now newly opened up three more meridians. Although two pills were consumed, it was all worth it.

This cultivation efficiency was much higher compared to using the beginner’s Spirit Gathering Array before.

The higher the cultivation realm, the harder it is to progress.

If one was to continue cultivating with the beginner’s Spirit Gathering Array like before, by his calculation, at least a month and a half would be needed for a breakthrough.

If he did not have the assistance of the Spirit Gathering Array, it would probably take half a year, or even longer.

It would take even longer for other ordinary disciples.

This is still considering that they are within the territory of the Supreme Mystery Sect, where the spiritual energy is particularly dense.

If it was not so difficult, Liu Jie would not still be at the third level of the meridian breaking stage when Jiang Yuan first met him.

He got up, got ready, and pushed open his room door.

Today, there were many things to do. Yesterday he repelled Zhou Tuo of the Imperial Family, and the Sect Leader instructed him to collect his reward today.

Apart from that, as an inner sect disciple, he could now access the second floor of the techniques pagoda.

He remembered that when he entered the first floor of the techniques pagoda, there was a hint of opportunity waiting.

Now he has the privilege to choose two techniques, that opportunity must be seized.

Just then, Shu Xiaoxiao spoke, “Young Master, the hot water is ready! You should take a bath before meeting the Sect Leader!”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “Okay!”

Having such a maid was wonderful, she had everything arranged perfectly.

Just now, Jiang Yuan had not even thought of this himself, was all ready to get up and go see the Sect Leader.

But after some careful thought, bathing before meeting the Sect Leader is the minimum respect he could show..
