I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 26 Redemption
Three days passed in a flash.

It’s the third day of the New Year.

During this period, the pawnshop was closed, and his two disciples, Han Li and He Chunli, had been living in Xie An's backyard cottage, serving Xie An at his beck and call, which gave Xie An a small taste of the life of a "master".

Because He Chunli had a bruise on his butt and was unable to move around easily while recovering from the injury, his two disciples weren't as lively and active as in previous years. They didn't participate in any activities or go to the lantern festival.

The town holds a lantern festival every Spring Festival. Many villagers from the countryside come to enjoy the fun and light wish lanterns, hoping for peace, happiness and success in the coming year.

However, since Xie An had a long life character, he lost interest in these common etiquette and customs, and became immersed in liver-burning health-preserving exercises and could not extricate himself.

After three days of hard work, Xie An's fetal breathing technique finally showed signs of a breakthrough.

That morning, Han Li was preparing breakfast, He Chunli was lying on the couch recovering from his illness, and Xie An was practicing fetal breathing in the small room next door.

Xie An was seen sitting cross-legged, his whole body as steady and motionless as a Bodhisattva.

The mouth and nose do not move.

However, there was a slight rhythm at the navel, as if it could breathe.

As his navel continued to move slightly, Xie An could clearly feel the area between his navel and perineum heating up, swelling, and turning purple. Then a dense, misty breath emerged.

The belly button is really breathing.

In addition, Xie An felt that the Qi Hai and lower Dantian also produced spontaneous rhythms.

He knew this was a sign that the final form of the Three Forms Method, the Navel Yin Form, was about to reach its peak. He immediately took no chances and continued to practice according to the formula, intending to break through the barrier in one go.

I don’t know how long has passed——

hum.

The navel breathing channel is completely opened.

Xie An immediately found himself in a very mysterious state: his mouth and nose were closed, and his navel was breathing.

Moreover, although this breathing speed is slow, it makes the body and mind feel very comfortable, as if the body has undergone some kind of evolution.

A higher level of breathing technique?

Xie An immediately opened the panel.

[Fetal Breathing: Yin and Yang Intercourse (0/100)]

"Finally a breakthrough!"

Xie An breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of immense satisfaction on his face.

The difficulty of practicing this fetal breathing exercise was more than five times greater than that of the Five Animal Exercises. If it weren't for his longevity, Xie An felt that he might not be able to complete the three forms of the technique in three to five years, and he wouldn't even be able to get started.

If the Five Animal Exercises are the easy-to-score math questions in the college entrance exam, then Fetal Breathing Exercise is the final, ultimate question. The difficulty levels are completely different.

Even though Xie An had a long lifespan, and with Tang Qingfeng's unique prescription, it still took him three or four months to barely enter the second stage of fetal breathing.

too difficult……

After calming down his excitement, Xie An hurriedly looked at the other contents on the panel.

[Current longevity level: Level 1!]

[Five Animal Exercises: Strengthens the Five Internal Organs (5/100)]

[Fetal Breathing Technique: Yin and Yang Intercourse (0/100)] [Remaining Years: 30 Years]

"Increase your lifespan by 4 years!"

Xie An felt at ease.

On the surface, the first stage of Fetal Breathing Gong might not be as effective in increasing lifespan as the initial six years of Five Animal Exercises. But this is not the case. The further you progress, the harder it is to increase your lifespan.

The three-style method can add four years to your life, and its quality is better than the initial glimpse of the Five Animal Exercises.

Xie An also confirmed another piece of information: if you practice multiple health-preserving exercises at the same time, the longevity effects of various health-preserving exercises can be stacked on each other.

This is undoubtedly good and exciting news.

After practicing the health-preserving exercises for more than half a year, Xie An has already added thirty years to his lifespan. Compared to the old man he used to be, Xie An has undergone a fundamental transformation from the inside out.

Unfortunately, the three-style method did not significantly improve the body's strength, speed, etc. However, Xie An vaguely felt that his body's endurance had improved a lot.

For example, before I could only draw the bow thirty times in a row, but now, thanks to the fetal breathing technique, I can draw the bow forty times in a row.

Fetal breathing is a form of internal cultivation. As your realm improves, there will definitely be big surprises in the future.

The effect of strengthening internal strength is inherently slower than external strength, but the improvement is much greater.

Xie An warned himself not to be anxious and to take it slow.

My dear, they are all behind me.

"Master, it's time for breakfast."

Han Li's voice came from outside the door.

Xie An simply washed up and went out to eat.

Perhaps Han Li knew that Xie An was practicing martial arts secretly, so he spent money on food and bought braised pork and braised duck, which was a rare sumptuous meal.

Xie An secretly thought that Han Li was very observant and considerate. He praised him and then began to eat heartily.

I've raised you for more than ten years, and you won't let me eat your little one once?
"Master, are you practicing martial arts secretly?" Han Li couldn't help but ask while refilling Xie An's rice. "I see that Master has become younger and stronger recently, and he is no longer as old and frail as before."

Xie An didn't hide anything. "I can't say I practice martial arts, but I just practice health-preserving exercises when I have nothing to do. If you are interested, I can copy out the Five Animal Frolics techniques and give them to you to practice."

Han Li was so excited that he thanked him repeatedly. He thought that his master had such good results from practicing health-preserving exercises at such an old age, and he was still young, so wouldn't his practice be even more powerful?
Xie An saw through his thoughts and knew he was overthinking...

But this did not dampen Han Li's self-confidence. After dinner, he copied several thousand words of the Five Animal Exercises and gave them to his two disciples. He also gave them some simple guidance for a while, and then took all the silver and money, a total of sixty taels.

According to the agreement he made with Chunlan, Xie An has to go to the Li Mansion today to ask the master and mistress to redeem him.

Sixty taels is the current property of Xie Anquan.

Xie An felt that even if Li Ru asked for a huge sum, it should be enough to redeem him.

At this moment, a woman's voice was heard outside the door.

"Is Master Xie here?"

"Yes." Xie An agreed and walked out to greet him. He muttered in his heart.

The third day of the Lunar New Year is still a busy time for the Li Mansion. Logically, Chunlan should be very busy as well. There is no reason for her to come and call me to the Li Mansion in person, right?
