Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

In the room.

Mist was steaming.

Jiang Yuan sat deep in the wooden barrel.

As Shu Xiaoxiao wiped away blood stains on Jiang Yuan, tears dropped from her eyes.

Seeing the tiny wounds on Jiang Yuan’s body, her little hand trembled slightly.

“Young Master, am I a troublemaker? In just two days since my arrival, you had to fight twice because of me. This time, Young Master suffered such a severe injury.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and leaned against the edge of the barrel.

“Don’t blame yourself, you are just an excuse for them. Their real target is me! If it weren’t for you, they would have found other reasons to provoke me.”

“But…” Shu Xiaoxiao bit her lip, “There are not so many ‘ifs’ in this world!

Today, it’s lucky that Young Master broke through in battle!” Jiang Yuan looked at her and smiled slightly, “Do you feel guilty?” “Yes!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.

“Then practice well, strive to surpass me, and take me to new heights!”

“Okay!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded very seriously, “Young Master, I will definitely practice diligently, I definitely will!”

Her heart was filled with determination.

She had practiced all day today, and the feedback on her progress filled her with confidence.

She knew her talent for cultivation was good!

Because she had reached the Body Forging Realm’s first level in just one day, something very rare.

As far as she knew from her past knowledge, it was extremely rare.

At least nobody in Lin’an County had ever achieved this.

So, she was full of confidence in herself.

After a long time.

Jiang Yuan washed the blood stains off his body, and his tiny wounds slowly began to solidify and heal.

Under the care of Shu Xiaoxiao, he put on his robe. Then he said, “You can go now! I need to start healing!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao obediently responded and then left the room with the discarded bloody water.

Jiang Yuan returned to the bed and sat cross-legged.

His divine soul immersed within himself and saw that there were cracks in the meridians in his body.

They were filled with countless tiny wounds.

Breaking through in battle really is no small feat!

Luckily my physical body is very strong and my meridians are tough.

Otherwise, under the violent spiritual energy just now, my meridians would have probably collapsed.

Thank goodness everything went as expected; my body was strong enough and there were no surprises!

Seeing the condition of his body, Jiang Yuan felt extremely lucky.

He opened his eyes again and took out the bottle of Life Pill that Kong Nian had just given him.

He swallowed a drop.

Then he closed his eyes again, started to circulate qi and blood inside his body, and mobilized his spiritual power to nourish and heal his damaged meridians.

Just then.

The Life Pill had just fallen into his stomach and had not yet dissolved.

Suddenly, a majestic force of vitality surged from somewhere in his body.

The areas affected by this vitality force felt a sense of coolness accompanied by a numb feeling.

Under the influence of this powerful force, the wounds on his meridians were visibly healing slowly.

What the hell is happening?

Jiang Yuan was a bit surprised.

Originally, he thought it would take a very long time to completely recover from his wounds.

After all, the stronger the physical body gets, the more time it takes to recover from severe injuries.

This is one of the laws.

Because a complete recovery represents returning to the previous strength, the energy required for healing wounds cannot be conjured out of thin air.

So, normally, with such injuries, even with the aid of medicine, it would still take several months to recover!

Even with two Spirit Marked Life Pills, it’d probably take nearly a month’s time.

Because meridians are invisible.

The injuries in such places are unlike ordinary ones, extremely difficult to heal.

But the sudden surge of vigor within him now, compared to the Life-sustaining Pill which had just been metabolized.

It was like the difference between a bright moon and starlight, or the difference between a large river and a mountain stream.

No matter the quality or total amount, the two were not comparable.

But where this overwhelming vitality came from, Jiang Yuan was at a loss.

He took another look at his personal dashboard.

A sudden guess crossed his mind, it might have something to do with the Dragon Tiger Body or Endless Longevity.

This vitality wouldn’t come from nowhere.

It must have its roots.

The only two possibilities which could give rise to this were the innate qi luck of Dragon Tiger Body and Endless Longevity.

Among these two guesses, Jiang Yuan favored the Endless Longevity.

Longevity embodied endless vitality.

He basked in ceaseless warmth and numbness in his body.

Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

At this rate, three days would suffice for his complete recovery.

Meanwhile,

Atop the Divine Maiden Peak.

The night was pitch black, a round moon wore a thin veil, and the dim moonlight fell within the woods.

Tantai Ming watched Mei Congyun appear in the courtyard, she slowly said,

“Aunt Mei, where did you go just now?”

Mein Congyun was suddenly startled. When she turned her head, she saw Tantai Ming in her white dress walking out of the room.

In the moonlight, Tantai Ming was as beautiful as a fairy in the Palace of Cold.

But such beauty filled her with fear.

“Young Miss, 1…1 just went for a stroll!”

“A stroll? I think you went to conspire against Jiang Yuan!” She looked at Mei Congyun and continued, “You should know that conspiring against fellow Sect members is a serious offense, and you, a mere servant, dare to conspire against a Supreme Mystery Sect disciple!”

The last sentence thundered in her ears like a bolt of lightning.

Mei Congyun, terrified, her legs giving way, pleaded, “Young Miss, spare me!”

Tantai Ming shook her head lightly, “Whether you can be spared isn’t up to me! It’s up to the Punishment Hall!”

“Get up, accompany me to the Punishment Hall!”

“Young Miss, I….” Mei Congyun’s face struggled with fear.

She was about to plead when a soft voice of a woman rang out, “Ming’er, you’ve done well! ”

Tantai Ming heard this, immediately turned around, and respectfully said, “Master, you’re here!”

Then she noticed the young man next to her master and promptly greeted him respectfully.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

“Hm!” The young man just nodded indifferently.

At this moment, the woman next to him said, “Sect Leader, I told you! Mingl er is so kind-hearted, she wouldn’t harm fellow Sect members.

“Indeed!” The young man simply nodded.

Then he turned his eyes towards Mei Congyun who was kneeling at Tantai Ming’s feet, “Insubordination, harming a Supreme Mystery Sect disciple, according to the Sect’s rules, what crime should be dealt?”

Mei Congyun’s face turned pale, “Abandoning cultivation and reduced to a mere mortal!”

“Since you know that, go to the Punishment Hall and accept your punishment.”

“Yes!”

Her face full of despair, knowing that the Sect Leader’s orders were irrevocable,

She knew that pleading was in vain!

She dare not resist, and she could only obediently proceed towards the Punishment Hall.

After everyone left,

Tantai Ming appeared a bit moved.

Fortunately, the decision to abandon Aunt Mei had been made long ago.

Otherwise, tonight’s event would have severely damaged my image in the eyes of the Sect Leader and my Master.

My future position would also be affected as a result.

Now, it seemed that a misfortune turned into a blessing..
