Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 38 Prolonging life
The two big black horses left the Blackwater Gang headquarters quickly, one after the other.

The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone slabs along the road, making crisp "clacking" sounds.

Yuan Hongri's expression was solemn. He glanced at the figure in front of him, then lowered his head. His eyes were filled with confusion, bewilderment and puzzlement, and vaguely, some suspicion.

Logically, he should have resigned from the position of gang leader and become the elder guarding the Sutra Repository. After the gang discussion was over, he should have gone to the Sutra Repository to take up his post.

However, he did not expect that Shi He would actually take him to the Lin family in Dongcheng District, Shanghe County.

Ahead of them, the First Chief Envoy Bai Kongqun had already led hundreds of men to confiscate the Lin family's assets.

Now that the two previous heads of the Lin family, Lin Changgong and Lin Langtian, have passed away, the Lin family may not even be able to produce a warrior at the eighth level of the mortal body realm.

With such strength, Yuan Hongri really couldn't understand why Shi He needed to take him along.

Although it is a mystery, it is ultimately just a small problem.

The confusion and suspicion that lingered in Yuan Hongri's heart was caused by the amazing knife strike that Shi He had just used to kill Liu Shisan in an instant.

Yuan Hongri and Liu Shisan met many times, so they naturally knew each other.

Even though this person's strength is not as good as mine, he is only slightly inferior.

Shi He was able to kill him with just one strike. With this kind of strength, plus his explosive momentum, I'm afraid he has already broken through the mortal body realm.

But subconsciously, he was not willing to accept this result.

Although he passed the position of gang leader to Shi He, it was a helpless move. In Yuan Hongri's heart, he still wanted to regain the position of gang leader of the Black Water Gang after he broke through the mortal body realm.

But if Shi He really took that step, with the former's talent for martial arts, he could practice a superior sword technique to perfection overnight.

Such an amazing talent,
Does Yuan Hongri really have a chance?
He looked at the figure in blue in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Don't look at it," came a faint voice.

"Shi has indeed broken through to the True Qi Realm. Now, you can give up."

Yuan Hongri was shocked and opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Shi He put the jade talisman into his arms, pondered for a moment, and then called out the panel.

Since he was promoted to the True Qi Realm, his comprehension of the technique engraved on the jade talisman - the Flame Demon Sutra - has made great progress compared to before.

According to the original plan, it would take at least four or five hours to digest and comprehend this technique.

But now, the plan has been completed in just a cup of tea.

This may be because after he broke through the Qi realm, his understanding of the entire body and the techniques have made great progress.

The panel at this time has changed a lot compared to before.

[Name: Shi He]

【Shouyuan: 78/130】

[Realm: Qi Realm Level 1]

[Martial Arts: Upper Ordinary Level·Eternal Spring Skill (perfected), Upper True Level·Flame Demon Scripture (not yet mastered), Lower True Level·Red Shadow Extreme Evil Palm (minor success), Upper Ordinary Level·Wuwang Cross Sword Skill (perfected), Upper Ordinary Level·Yuyang Feipu Step (not yet mastered), Middle Ordinary Level·Qingyang Palm (perfected), Middle Ordinary Level·Treading Cloud Nine Steps (perfected)]

[Talent: Daily Review, Hand of the Sky (Advanced)]

[Available Luck: 210]

"call!"

Shi He took a deep breath. Finally, after breaking through to the True Qi Realm, his life span had finally increased. And the increase was not just a little bit, but a full 42 years of life span.

The average lifespan of a warrior in the physical realm is ninety years.

For warriors at the True Qi realm, it takes an additional forty years.

When he traveled through time, his predecessor was already 78 years old. Coupled with the hidden injuries he suffered when he was young, his time was already running out and he could die at any time.

Fortunately, through desperate practice, he finally broke through to the Qi realm before the god of death could react, and forcibly extended his life.

In this chaotic world, demons are rampant and evil spirits are everywhere.

However, for most people, it is not just about demons that they have to worry about, but also about their own kind.

Those who wear human clothing but do things worse than animals, who can tell what kind of beastly heart they are?
Shi He felt that he had made many enemies. The Taining Liu family and the old ape from Shilin Mountain were probably eager to chop off his head.

Even if I have a few decades more of life, I still don’t know when I will live to see the sun.

But after all, the nerves that had been tense for a long time can finally relax a little.

He shook his head and turned his attention back to the panel in front of him.

“I wonder how much luck is needed to push the Flame Demon Sutra to the first level.”

Shi He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, but still couldn't resist the temptation of the Flame Demon Sutra. He used his consciousness to control his luck and infused it into the Flame Demon Sutra.

Swish!
The available luck decreased rapidly, and did not change until it dropped to '200'.

At the same time, the content in brackets after the Flame Demon Sutra was blurry at first, and then gradually became clear.

True Level: Flame Demon Sutra (first level).

"I didn't expect it to be successful!" Shi He was delighted, but what surprised him was that it only consumed ten points of luck to deduce the Flame Demon Sutra to the first level!

"Huh? Why is Changchun Gong gone?"

Shi He was puzzled, only to see that the words "Changchun Gong" and the contents after them on the panel had all disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

But after calming down and feeling the changes in his body, he suddenly had some insights.

At this moment, the true Qi contained in the Changchun Gong in the body, which originally had a faint transparent color, has now completely transformed into scarlet true Qi, emitting a faint evil spirit.

"This is because my Changchun Gong itself generates true qi, so converting it into the true qi of the Flame Demon Sutra does not require much luck. However, compared to Changchun Gong, the true qi converted from the Flame Demon Sutra is more powerful and more domineering. Now that I use the Scarlet Shadow Extreme Evil Palm, I am afraid that my strength will be a few points stronger than before."

Shi He understood something and he took out the jade talisman from his arms again.

Although he had thoroughly mastered the Flame Demon Sutra, there seemed to be some content left behind the jade talisman, obscured by a mist, which made Shi He quite interested.

I looked up and saw that the Lin family was still some distance away.

So he continued to concentrate on his studies of the jade talisman.

At this time, after he mastered the Flame Demon Sutra, the fog dissipated partially, revealing the text hidden underneath.

[Friend Shi, when you can see this line of text, it means that you have entered the True Qi Realm and have mastered the Flame Demon Sutra]

[I am very pleased. It seems that I did not misjudge him.]

[Every time your strength improves, your awareness will also improve, and the fog will dissipate a little.]

[When you can see the last content, I will give you a great fortune]
