At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Ling Xiu's blood and qi were replenished rapidly, and his originally withered body quickly regained its vitality under the nourishment of the medicine.

The body became increasingly resilient, and the medicinal power surged along the meridians, frantically washing over every part of the body.

With such powerful medicinal effects, the "Xu Yuan Longevity Technique" changed from being volatile to operating smoothly.

The raging power within him finally calmed down completely.

That was really dangerous; I almost exploded and died.

But he quickly realized something was wrong and inwardly cried out in alarm.

"Oh no! That commotion was so loud, could it have attracted the attention of the sect elders?"

Ling Xiu forced himself to calm down.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only adapt to the situation!"

He felt the newly generated Void Yuan Power within his body transform into pure magical power, flowing slowly through his meridians.

They charged toward the first level of the Qi Refining Barrier.

A warm current flowed through my limbs and bones, as if life were being revived, making me feel completely comfortable, and my strength was now far greater than before.

The Void Origin Technique I used to cultivate had a cyan spiritual energy that moved like a water snake.

After the advancement, the magic power of the "Void Primordial Longevity Technique" turned blood red, resembling a blue dragon soaring through the sky.

The atmosphere was completely different.

A single Xuan-grade Yuan Yang Pill has such miraculous effects.

In less than five hours, he once again stepped into the first level of the Qi Refining Realm.

"My current Qi Refining Level 1 power is actually much stronger than my previous Qi Refining Level 3 power!"

This is Ling Xiu's truest feeling.

"Excellent! The 'Void Primordial Longevity Technique' is indeed extraordinary!"

Ling Xiu was extremely excited and immediately swallowed another Yuan Yang Pill.

The immense power accumulated within his body, now fully unleashed, once again launched an attack towards the second level of Qi Refining.

To ensure he had enough confidence, he used all the elixirs he had refined during this period to replenish his mana and repair his physical body.

A continuous supply of elixirs aids the operation of the "Void Primordial Longevity Technique".

Ling Xiu's cultivation level steadily improved.

In the end, he successfully returned to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.

At this moment, Ling Xiu could clearly feel that the blood-red magic power in his dantian was condensed and domineering, and its purity far exceeded that of before.

What surprised him even more was that his originally full head of silver-white hair had sprouted a few strands of gray-black hair, and the wrinkles on his face had also become much lighter.

He clenched his fists, and a tremendous power surged within him.

"That's too strong! Absolutely too strong!"

Ling Xiu had never felt such powerful strength before, and his excitement was beyond words.

He knew that strength was the foundation of his life, so he immediately continued to cultivate diligently.

Several days later, Ling cultivated a top-grade Qi Spirit Pill.

The crimson magical power within his dantian suddenly surged several times over.

The violent power surged wildly, crashing through the barrier of the realm.

Reaching the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm!

To his surprise, at the fourth level of Qi Refining, he was able to expand his divine sense and clearly perceive things within a radius of 100 meters.

At the moment of his breakthrough, he immediately activated the "Hidden Breath Chaos" technique to suppress the violent power.

Silence returned to the surroundings, as if the breakthrough had never happened.

"With my current strength, I am probably comparable to a cultivator at the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining, or even the sixth level of Qi Refining."

As expected of the "Void Primordial Longevity Technique"!

Ling Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief. The feeling of being in control of his destiny made him feel at ease and at peace.

After a century of wasted time, he finally stepped into the gates of immortality and found a glimmer of hope for eternal life.

Just as he was calmly consolidating his fourth level of Qi cultivation.

boom!

The heavy door of the abandoned treasure pavilion could not withstand a single step; wood chips flew everywhere, and it exploded with a loud crash.

The loud noise made Ling Xiu turn around abruptly.

There was a woman who looked no more than twenty years old. She was beautiful, with sharp eyebrows and eyes that were slanted upwards. Her almond-shaped eyes were full of arrogance and ferocity.

Dressed in fine clothes, she walked proudly into the attic, stepping on broken pieces of wood.

His gaze swept across the abandoned treasure pavilion, his eyes filled with disdain and arrogance.

The girl was arrogant and looked down at Ling Xiu with a condescending attitude.

"So he's just a rotten old man?"

The girl scoffed, her eyes filled with impatience, as if looking at her for even a moment would taint her vision.

"Hey, old man, why aren't you coming over here now that you've seen me!"

Ling Xiu concealed his coldness, quickly put on a respectful smile, and slowly walked towards the girl.

He approached with a hunched back and a respectful attitude.

"I am Ling Xiu, guarding the Waste Pill Pavilion. May I ask what brings you here, Senior Sister?"

His voice was hoarse, his breath was weak, and he showed no signs of cultivation whatsoever.

Ling Xiu secretly judged that this girl was not old, but her aura was extremely powerful.

His cultivation level must be quite high; he's probably a late-stage Qi Refining expert.

Judging from her attire and the magical artifacts around her waist, her identity must be extraordinary.

The girl looked at Ling Xiu and spoke with a face full of disgust.

"Tell me, did the Waste Treasure Pavilion send over a batch of scrap materials some time ago?"

Ling Xiu pretended to be deep in thought, then looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Yes, it was indeed delivered, but I haven't had time to sort it yet."

"Oh? I've come today to find a silver bracelet."

I lost it a while ago, and I guess someone sent it here as junk.

That was a birthday present from my grandfather. Have you seen it before?

Ling Xiu slowly shook his head.

"Reporting to Senior Sister, I have never seen the bracelet you mentioned. It must be mixed in with these junk items. I will go and look for it for you right away."

The girl stood with her hands on her hips, exuding an arrogant and haughty air.

"Old man, hurry up! I have important business to attend to. If you're delayed, you'll be held responsible!"

The girl's harsh words left Ling Xiu feeling cold inside, but he still patiently searched through the old and discarded items.

Now that he has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, he only wants to find the silver bracelet as soon as possible.

He sent the other person away so that they would not disturb his cultivation.

This will also prevent any unforeseen events from occurring.

But the girl stood to the side, gesturing wildly and behaving arrogantly.

She acted as if she were in the right, as if Ling Xiu were her servant.

Seeing Ling Xiu's slow movements, the girl grew increasingly impatient.

"Can you hurry up? You old good-for-nothing, how long are you going to take to find it?"

The more she looked at Ling Xiu, the more she disliked him, and she kicked him hard in the back.

Ling Xiu, who was already hunched over, was kicked to the ground by her.

The girl pointed to another pile of junk and shouted angrily.

"Go look over there! Why are you moving so slowly? Haven't you eaten and are too weak? If you don't find the bracelet today, you might as well be dead."

Ling Xiu felt a chill run down his spine, and his anger surged.

He pushed himself up with his hands on the ground, slowly getting up, biting his chapped lips hard to suppress his overwhelming anger.

Sweat beaded on his cheeks, and his face was slightly contorted with suppressed emotion.

It felt like a raging fire burning wildly in my chest.

But facing this girl, Ling Xiu knew he had to restrain himself.

A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan; we must not act rashly at this moment.

Clearly, this girl is of high status.

Moreover, her cultivation level is not to be underestimated; even if I go all out, I might not be her match.

"Endure it, you must endure it!"

"Senior sister, please calm down. I have already done my best to help you search."

Ling Xiu looked humble, and his movements quickened considerably, making him appear quite disheveled.

The clear shoe print on his back, in particular, deeply stung his heart.
