Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Chapter 63 Extend Life by 55 Years



In a market within the frontlines of Cang Country.

"The Honorable Golden Lion is dead! Damn it, how did he die at the hands of a mere Body Refinement fourth level? What a waste of space!"

Ning Canghan's face turned ashen as he paced around a room.

Ning Canghan gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Yu's strength must be far from simple! It seems that evil ghost from the Wang family was not dealt with by Su Bingyun herself as she claimed. What a treacherous couple!"

After the battle at the Wang family residence, everyone in the Cang Ling Sect knew that Ning Canghan had abandoned his fellow disciples and fled early. His reputation in the sect had plummeted.

Ning Canghan wanted to take revenge on Su Bingyun, but he never had the chance to make a move because Su Bingyun was the direct disciple of the Sect Master of the Cang Ling Sect. He could only target Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu's strength was far beyond his expectations.

"I'll have to play it by ear!"

Despite pondering over and over, Ning Canghan couldn't think of any solutions. His strength was indeed stronger than that of the Honorable Golden Lion, but since the Golden Lion had met a grisly end at the hands of Zhao Yu, he certainly didn't want to tackle him personally and suffer the same fate.

Since Zhao Yu had the protection of Su Bingyun, it was almost impossible for Ning Canghan to apply pressure on him from the level of the Cang Ling Sect.

Time flew by, and a year passed in a blink.

Inside the Alchemy Room at Wolf Ridge.

Zhao Yu laughed heartily, "I've finally advanced my Alchemy to Second-Order high-grade!!"

"Cultivation Level: Wood Yuan Gong Ninth Level (25/100). Qi Refinement Ninth Level!"

"Alchemy Cultivation Level: Second-Order High-Grade (50/100)."

"Alchemy——Red Blood Beast Pattern Pill: Grandmaster."

"Alchemy——Moon Ganoderma Spirit Pill: Grandmaster."

In that year's time, Zhao Yu used the channels of the Ling family and Su Bingyun to purchase a large amount of Second-Order Demon Beast meat and Moon Ganoderma Spirit Pill ingredients, and then he kept refining pills to raise his Alchemy Cultivation Level to Second-Order high-grade.

The Moon Ganoderma Spirit Pill was a Second-Order mid-grade Spirit Pill. A single pill could eliminate body odors, cleanse all sorts of impurities from the skin, making it tender, smooth, and also aid those in dual cultivation, serving as an aid for such practitioners. This type of Spirit Pill with specific effects was sought only by cultivators skilled in the secret techniques of dual cultivation.

Zhao Yu refined the Moon Ganoderma Spirit Pills merely to raise his Alchemy, elevating it to Second-Order high-grade.

A fervent gleam passed through Zhao Yu's eyes, "Finally, I can refine High-Grade First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills!"

Zhao Yu had spared no effort in enhancing his Alchemy just so he could refine Superior Grade High-Grade First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills.

The ingredients for Lifespan Extension Pills were always rare, even those for First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills, and they were not easy to buy, even if one had the Spirit Stones.

Over the years, Zhao Yu had only managed to collect enough ingredients for about thirty batches of First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills.

Zhao Yu's refining process went smoothly, and he managed to refine a batch of First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills. He picked up a Superior Life Extension Pill and swallowed it, circulating the Dao Fruit within his body to assimilate it.

"Lifespan 41/108."

Zhao Yu's lips slightly curled up, "Not bad, my lifespan has increased by ten years!"

A standard First-Order Lifespan Extension Pill could only extend life by five years, but a Superior Grade pill could do so by ten years – that was the allure of Superior Grade elixirs.

Zhao Yu took out another Superior Grade Lifespan Extension Pill and consumed it. This time, it only extended his lifespan by nine years. The effectiveness diminished by a year with each subsequent pill. When he took the eleventh pill, it had no effect at all.

"Lifespan 41/153."

Zhao Yu revealed a trace of a smile, "A total extension of fifty-five years, I really am getting younger as I live longer!"

Generally, cultivators live to be around a hundred years old, and if they can't achieve Foundation Establishment by the age of sixty, their bodies begin to slowly deteriorate, making Foundation Establishment increasingly difficult.

Zhao Yu's lifespan had reached a hundred and fifty-three years, which meant that his age limit for Foundation Establishment had been raised to over seventy.

Zhao Yu refined two more batches of First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills before he left the Alchemy Room.

"Uncle, the meal is ready!"

In the pavilion of an elegant garden, a beautiful fourteen-year-old girl dressed in blue, with an ethereal charm, Li Xianjiao, greeted him with a smile.

The table in the pavilion was already laden with various delicacies cooked with Demon Beast Meat.

Qi Refinement Tenth Level! In just two short years, she had already attained the Great Circle of Qi Refining, truly worthy of her Heavenly Spirit Root!

Zhao Yu glanced at Li Xianjiao and saw through her cultivation level in an instant.

A cultivator at the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement could already dominate and occupy the lower-grade Spiritual Lands in some small places. Li Xianjiao had only cultivated for two years and had already reached the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement, advancing much faster than even Su Bingyun.

Her culinary skills had improved as well!

After savoring the feast prepared by Li Xianjiao, Zhao Yu's eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction. He handed her five bottles of First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills.

Li Xianjiao asked curiously, "What kind of elixir is this?"

Zhao Yu answered, "These are First-Order Superior Grade Lifespan Extension Pills. If you take them during the Qi Refinement Realm, they can extend your life. Let's see how many you can assimilate!"

"Alright, Uncle!"

Li Xianjiao immediately swallowed a First-Order Lifespan Extension Pill and sat down cross-legged in front of Zhao Yu, slowly refining the pill.

Zhao Yu carefully observed Li Xianjiao and found that she ended up taking only four First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills. According to her, the effect of the third Superior Life Extension Pill was already slight, and the fourth had no effect whatsoever.

Zhao Yu told Li Xianjiao to focus on her cultivation and assimilate the medicine's power, while he himself went to a lake within the Wolf Ridge.

In the center of the lake, there was an elegant boat, upon which sat Ling Qianxue, dressed in white palace attire, her demeanor otherworldly and her beauty unparalleled.

Zhao Yu smiled and stepped onto a flower-basket Magic Artifact, flying directly to the boat.

Ling Qianxue graciously smiled and poured a cup of Spiritual Tea, offering it to him, "Brother Yu, you're here! The tea is ready!"

Zhao Yu took the Spiritual Tea, savored it carefully, and then quietly listened as Ling Qianxue recounted the frontline situation of the war among the Five Sects.

Although the Evil Ghost Sect was very formidable and its Sect Master was a powerful cultivator at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Early Stage, they were still at a disadvantage under the joint siege of the four other major sects.

However, within those four sects, each harbored their own schemes and were unwilling to fight to the death, occasionally sabotaging one another, so the situation remained at a standstill.

The cultivators and vassals of the Five Great Sects continued to fight fiercely on the frontlines, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

In the brutal warfare, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators died in battle, but at the same time, a good number of Loose Cultivators also found opportunities in the chaos of the Five Sects' war and achieved Foundation Establishment.

The number of bandits in the territories of the four barren countries of the North is increasing and law and order is deteriorating. The prices of Magic Artifacts, Talismans, elixirs, and all sorts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have skyrocketed substantially.

Zhao Yu smiled and handed three Superior Grade Lifespan Extension Pills to Ling Qianxue, "Qianxue, these are three First-Order Superior Grade Lifespan Extension Pills. I chanced upon them while cultivating alchemy, and I'm giving them to you!"

Ling Qianxue's bright eyes sparkled, and she revealed a sweet smile, "Superior Grade First-Order Lifespan Extension Pills! These are rare treasures. I remember a First-Order Lifespan Extension Pill being auctioned for as high as three thousand Spirit Stones. Thank you, Brother Yu!"
