Witch, please have some self-respect!

Back in the accounting room, Shen Yun brewed a pot of fine green tea, opened the box of Nine-Turned White Jade Cake, and the room was filled with fragrance.

I couldn't wait to take a bite. The delicate and refreshing taste spread on my tongue, with several layers of flavor that progressed one after another, giving my taste buds a strong stimulation and leaving a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth.

It truly lives up to its name of "Nine Revolutions," but I wonder how it was made.

Having lived two lives, the only food that could rival this taste in Shen Yun's heart was the first bite of instant noodles he tasted after being starving for two days straight.

A bite of pastry, a sip of fine tea—life is all about enjoyment.

Enjoy the aroma of tea and savor delicious cakes; your blessings will increase by 1.

Enjoying retirement isn't just about getting a massage and washing your feet. Shen Yun looked at the ancient scroll and realized that he had been too naive before.

Pleasure is enjoyment, stemming from physical and mental satisfaction.

While it may be thrilling and exciting for young people to fight for opportunities in the Qianlong Mountains, it's not suitable for an old man like him.

After finishing his meal with lingering enjoyment, Shen Yun got up and locked the door.

He sat in the chair, seemingly dozing, but in reality, he was practicing the Purple Thunder Breathing Technique.

Before Xiao Cheng practiced the breathing technique, his body would always emit bursts of light, which was not easy to conceal.

Now that the electric light has disappeared and is intertwined within the body, it is suitable for practicing in the tent.

Over the course of several days, Shen Yun gained a deeper understanding of the profound mysteries of the breathing technique, which explained why large families regarded it as their core principle.

If one is still, breathing techniques can mobilize the body's energy and vitality to deeply nourish the body.

If one moves, the mobilized blood and energy, along with the electric currents, are applied to the physical body, increasing one's strength.

Shen Yun doesn't want to fight right now; he just wants to advance his breathing technique further and refine the Qi and Blood Pill faster.

Xiao Cheng's breathing technique allows him to refine one Blood Essence Pill in about two days.

To completely reverse the aging process, one must extend their lifespan in the Blood Sea Realm; simply nourishing the body is far from sufficient.

Even advanced cultivators can only live to be a hundred years old.

The time allotted to Shen Yun seemed ample, but in reality, it was very tight.

The older he gets, the faster his cultivation speed will become; as his vital energy and blood decline, it will only slow down.

The next goal is to master the breathing technique.

After achieving a minor level of proficiency, it takes more than an hour to practice the Purple Lightning Breathing Technique.

During his daily shift, Shen Yun managed to gain three points of proficiency and save three points of good fortune.

Nighttime practice can increase one's cultivation by about two points, which is quite a considerable rate.

I wonder what it's like for someone who doesn't have ancient scrolls to practice?

That may not be the case. The ancient scroll has its own mysteries, and since Shen Yun obtained it, his progress has never regressed unless he hits a bottleneck.

For ordinary people practicing cultivation, their skills will become sluggish and regress if they don't practice for three to five days.

And the fact that he has a permanent certificate is an intangible benefit.

The sky was overcast today, and it got dark earlier than usual. There were no candles lit in the tent.

The moment Shen Yun opened his eyes, they burst forth with light, turning the dark room into daylight.

"You'll master the breathing technique in less than a month!"

With the help of ancient scrolls, one can enjoy life when it's time to enjoy it, and cultivate oneself when it's time to cultivate oneself.

Unlike others, Shen Yun is not stuck in a bottleneck and needs to go out to gain experience and strive for a breakthrough.

There are no bottlenecks before you reach the point of good fortune!

In just a few days, he had already consumed three Blood Essence Pills and three hundred taels of silver.

The stockpile is enough to break through to the second stage of Body Nourishing, but without the help of elixirs, further progress will be difficult.

"The best way to earn resources is one that has a high barrier to entry, is difficult to learn, and requires advanced technology."

Shen Yun had a vague idea in his mind.

Only the auxiliary skills of alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making among the various arts of cultivation meet the requirements.

The Feng family had once hosted a banquet for a master alchemist who had entered the next level, and everyone treated him with great respect, which left a deep impression on Shen Yun.

There are very few people like this in Seeking Immortals City, and those who want to learn have no clue where to start.

......

The next shift was conducted inside the mansion.

None of the masters were seen, and the servants all looked hurried. Shen Yun had been cultivating all day and hadn't noticed the changes in the manor.

"Xiao Wang, what happened?"

Shen Yun stopped a servant at random and asked.

"Steward, this afternoon the Third Young Master brought back a group of guards. Five of them died and many were injured. They are all busy getting doctors to treat them."

Shen Yun frowned upon hearing this.

The Hidden Dragon Mountains are getting serious. Will this cause chaos in the city and break the decades-long peace?

On the way back, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up; it won't fall on my head."

After thinking for a moment, Wan'er smiled. He had only just entered the first level, and there were plenty of people in the city stronger than him.

Fighting and killing are not his intention; steady development is the key.

Martial arts training ground.

Shen Yun was surprised to see Li Bu return, his arm wrapped in gauze and still bleeding.

A group of people surrounded him, listening to what he was saying.

He glanced at Shen Yun as he passed by, then quickly turned his head away.

I pretend I didn't see it.

He is a completely different person now compared to the day before yesterday.

"Li Bu shared a rare plant with several people on the mountain today. His blood and energy permeated his body, and he was able to lift a 300-jin stone roller. He will enter the next stage in just a few days."

Shen Qiqiang greeted Shen Yun, glancing at Li Bu with envy: "I heard he also caught the eye of the Third Young Master, and after resting tonight, he will accompany the Young Master to the Qianlong Mountain Range again."

Shen Yun understood immediately; no wonder his attitude had changed so drastically.

Looking at Shen Qiqiang, he smiled and said, "What, you want to go too?"

"No, no, Li Bu was just lucky. You didn't see the dead or the maimed..."

Shen Qiqiang was somewhat mature for his age, but he was still a young man after all, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

The few dead bodies they brought in today terrified him.

Some people had half their bodies blown apart, with their intestines spilling out; some even lost their heads; and some miraculously survived, but were missing limbs.

Finally, Shen Qiqiang lamented, "In the wilderness, you can win many battles, but one defeat means losing everything!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun immediately looked at him with new respect. If he hadn't awakened the ancient scroll, it wouldn't have mattered if he had taken him in as a god-grandson.

"If you can understand these things, you'll have a place in the Feng family sooner or later."

Moreover, Shen Qiqiang was covered in sweat, but he didn't lose his composure and practiced his boxing even harder.

After returning to the courtyard and having dinner with Su Wan'er, he turned off the lights and went to bed early.

One can only truly appreciate the flavor of something after tasting its marrow.

The in-depth exchange lasted for more than ten minutes, which was indeed quite quick because it was the first time.

The second time it doubled.

[Exclusive Blessing Points +9]

Doing what you love earns you +3 Blessing Points.

Shen Yun looked at the few lines of light that appeared on the ancient scroll and nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he expected, it was indeed a top-notch way to enjoy and communicate.

It's a pity I couldn't do it three times, which proves that this kind of thing isn't good for your health.

"Learning a method of dual cultivation might not be impossible."

Although he enjoyed himself beforehand, Shen Yun clearly felt a deficiency of qi and blood while in a sage-like state.

The elderly recover very slowly.

He reluctantly got up, went to a side room to practice breathing exercises, and used the medicine to make up for his deficiency.

A beautiful woman of sixteen or seventeen, her body as soft as butter, a sword at her waist to slay ordinary men.

Although no heads are seen falling, they secretly drain your very marrow!

Moreover, Wan'er wasn't the kind of woman who was thin and bony; she had an hourglass figure.

I really can't take it anymore.

Starting tomorrow, I will abstain from pornography!

Shen Yun made up his mind that the consequence of enjoying the moment was more than an hour of practicing the breathing technique in vain.

Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yun swallowed a Blood Essence Pill, intending to practice his breathing technique for an extra hour today.

It wasn't that he lacked self-control; it was just that Wan'er was too tempting.

Moreover, the primordial power of two lifetimes has accumulated within his body for a hundred years, making it difficult to control.

I must hold back tomorrow.

"Take it easy, things might change in the next few days."

Shen Yun kept reminding himself.

Abstain from sex.

He had been living comfortably these past few days, but there was a sense of impending storm both inside and outside the city.

News of people from time to time from the Hidden Dragon Mountains comes from who has been lucky enough to obtain a rare plant, embark on the path of cultivation, or make a fortune.

In reality, the best items all ended up in the hands of the major families and the city lord's mansion.

Several battles were fought, and many people were killed or injured.

It escalated to a high-altitude battle between the city lord and the Blood Sea Realm ancestors of several major families.

Later, they joined forces to seal off the mountain, and everyone entering or leaving the mountain range had to undergo strict checks.

This alliance is fragile and could break down at any time due to unequal distribution of spoils.

It's impossible for them to share six or seven valuable treasures equally; the real test will surely come later.

The Feng family is at a disadvantage, as their patriarch is still in seclusion.

The other families all have Blood Sea Realm elders overseeing them. The family heads have sensed something is wrong, and now they are not even allowed to leave. They are being detained in effect.

This has caused widespread panic within the household these past few days.

If something happens to the family head outside the city, the Feng family will be in danger.

"If that's the case, we'll have to temporarily switch allegiance. Considering the care the Feng family has given us over the years, we'll avenge the Feng family when we have the strength to crush the Immortal Seeking City in the future."

Shen Yun was planning his escape route.

Calming his restless mind, he prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

We arrived at the courtyard.

Looking up at the Qianlong Mountain Range, he was stunned and stood there in place.

Under the pitch-black night sky, a vast expanse of yellow haze stretched for hundreds of miles, illuminating half of the night sky.

It seems as if the long river has reversed its course and swept up from the heavens.

"Oh no!"

Shen Yun cursed himself for being a jinx.
