Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Six years later.

The Great Qian Dynasty, one of the important cities in the northern border.

Qingyuan City, in Qingliu Lane.

In a three-courtyard house, in the corner of the martial arts training ground, came a loud and powerful voice of praise.

"Excellent, your basic swordsmanship is now perfected!"

Liu Xingsheng lay back on a recliner next to the martial arts arena, dressed in a training uniform, holding a little one in his arm, with a smile in his eyes.

"Wow, you're awesome!"

A soft, sweet voice rang out, and a little one, struggling in my arms, clapped his hands.

In the training ground.

Luo Chen let out a long breath.

For six years, he followed Liu Xingsheng to live in this big city.

Just as he had promised, Liu Xingsheng treated him like his own son.

Even four years ago, when Liu Xingsheng and his aunt were overjoyed to have a daughter, they never mistreated him in the slightest.

To help him build a solid foundation, they spent dozens of taels of silver every month to nourish his body.

Six years have passed, and he is now an adult with a well-developed foundation.

Martial arts, the extraordinary power of this world.

Liu Xingsheng got up, picked up the little guy, and came to the boy's side.

Looking at the dashing, tall young man in front of me.

Liu Xingsheng said with satisfaction.

"Your talent far surpasses mine, and coupled with your exceptional comprehension, you will surely surpass me in time."

"But don't be arrogant, for there's always someone better!"

"Uncle Liu, I understand!"

Luo Chen nodded slightly, knowing that he was being warned.

"Brother, give me a hug!"

While the two were talking, the little one in Liu Xingsheng's arms became restless again, stretching out his little arm and leaning towards Luo Chen.

"Yao Yao".

Looking at the little guy, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

He reached out and took it, holding it in his arms.

The three walked along the pavilion corridor toward the study.

In the study.

Liu Xingsheng took out a secret manual and handed it to Luo Chen.

"The path of martial arts has four stages, the first being body refinement!"

"First, refine the skin! Temper the body's skin membrane, making it incredibly tough, as hard as cowhide, and enhancing the body's defense."

"Second-stage bone forging! Tempering the entire skeleton, the spine becomes like a dragon, and the limbs become strong. At the peak of bone forging, a single arm can sway with 18,000 jin, and genius martial artists can do so several times more."

"Three-fold Tendon Tempering! Tempering the major tendons of the body, once mastered, grants extreme speed and explosive power several times greater."

"Finally, they move the blood, circulating the vital energy throughout the body to refine their foundation. These martial artists are no longer ordinary; every move they make possesses immense power!"

Liu Xingsheng spoke at length, then picked up his teacup, took a sip, and waited for Luo Chen to digest the information.

Luo Chen quickly processed the information in his mind. Although he had heard about it over the past six years, it was nowhere near as detailed as the introduction that Uncle Liu was giving him now.

moment,

Luo Chen raised his head, looked at Liu Xingsheng's empty left arm, and asked softly.

This severed arm was lost three years ago when Liu Xingsheng was on a mission.

At that time, Yao Yao had just been born. With too many worries on his mind, he was seriously injured, so Liu Xingsheng retired from the Demon Suppression Division.

"Then... what level of cultivation is Uncle Liu at?"

"Haha, I was once a top-notch member of the Demon Suppression Division, a peak Blood-Transfer Demon Suppression Captain!"

Liu Xingsheng laughed heartily, quite proud, but a hint of disappointment was hidden in his eyes.

The pursuit of that demon three years ago was not just about losing an arm; it also damaged the foundation of my being.

The path of martial arts has been severed.

His inner feelings were far less relaxed than he appeared to his family.

That afternoon, Luo Chen chatted with Liu Xingsheng for a long time in the study.

It filled in many of his previous doubts.

It wasn't until almost evening that my aunt called me to dinner.

……

That night.

Luo Chen returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and closed his eyes in deep thought.

A series of messages surfaced in my mind.

[Technique: Crimson Sun Breathing Method (Beginner Level)]

[Do you wish to consume your lifespan for evolutionary cultivation?]

"The Crimson Sun Breathing Technique is a superior cultivation method used by the Demon Suppression Division for Foundation Establishment. Uncle Liu made a great sacrifice for the Demon Suppression Division, which is why it is allowed to be passed down in the family, but not to outsiders."

Luo Chen took a deep breath, realizing that he had already surpassed many martial artists in his starting point.

"A genius?!"

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen recalled Uncle Liu's praise for him.

He couldn't deny that he might have some talent, but it was absolutely impossible for him to master a basic sword technique in just ten days.

But just because you're not good at it doesn't mean your cheat code is bad.

Hang it up!

"Invest ten years of your lifespan to evolve the Crimson Flame Breathing Technique!"

[You have practiced the Crimson Sun Breathing Method for a year, and have entered the basics. Your breath is long and intense, extremely powerful and yang.]

[You have cultivated the Crimson Sun Breathing Technique for five years, achieving mastery of the technique. The realm of Skin Refinement is within your grasp.]

[You have practiced the Crimson Sun Breathing Method for ten years, reaching perfection. With this perfected breathing method, you can advance to the first level of cultivation in three days!]

call!

Inside the room, Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

A long, intense breath escaped from his mouth and nose, seemingly blazing and scorching.

Ten years of memories and experiences practicing the Red Sun Breathing Method quickly surfaced in the depths of my mind.

It seemed as if it were innate, without the slightest hesitation.

With each breath, warm currents flowed through the limbs and bones, eventually returning to the lower abdomen.

According to the information that appeared in his mind, with the Perfected Crimson Sun Breathing Technique, he only needed three days to enter the First Refinement level.

While this was the result of perfecting his cultivation technique, it was also thanks to the medicinal meals he had prepared for him every month for the past few years, costing him several dozen taels of silver.

[Technique: Crimson Sun Breathing Method (Completed)]

Current lifespan: 16/145.

"Last time, the basic sword technique consumed 3 years of my lifespan, and this time it has consumed another 10 years."

I can also directly consume my lifespan to evolve my cultivation level!

But there's no need.

Luo Chen muttered to himself, he wanted to establish himself as a genius.

But it can't be too shocking!

This attracted covetous eyes!

In the future, I should learn a technique for concealment, and always keep a trump card up my sleeve.

……

three days later.

Facing the rising sun, Luo Chen inhaled deeply, his chest rising and falling, his aura growing increasingly intense and expansive.

Liu Xingsheng stood on the outer edge of the training ground, shocked, and immediately stood up from his seat, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

"This breathing technique has probably reached a high level, or even perfection!"

"Amazing comprehension!"

Luo Chen's comprehension and talent were even more astonishing than he had imagined, already comparable to those scions of aristocratic families in the Northern Territory.

Sudden.

A strong wind blew up in the center of the training ground, and the scorching breaths gradually became more rapid.

Luo Chen felt a surge of immense and scorching blood energy within his body, and this was the first time he had clearly sensed extraordinary power.

On his body, his fair skin began to turn red, rising and falling with each breath.

The skin became tough, and nine strands of qi and blood power were generated within the body, only then did the breakthrough come to an end.

First refinement, the realm of skin refining!

Inside the training ground, Luo Chen felt the powerful energy within his body, a smile playing on his lips.

"Chen'er, you have a talent beyond compare."

Liu Xingsheng was even more excited than Luo Chen, and stepped forward to pat the boy on the shoulder.

"Come on, let your aunt cook a delicious meal to celebrate today."

"Hahaha!"
