Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

The mountain rat was still lively and energetic, but Chen Han did not let his guard down and waited for a while longer.

From the inheritance, Chen Han learned a lot about the deceit and treachery in the cultivation world. Even among righteous cultivators, there were not a lack of treacherous and cunning individuals.

Some cultivators would leave deadly traps on their belongings as a backup plan. If they encountered a treacherous cultivator, they would throw out their storage bag and run away, then go back to search for the treacherous cultivator's corpse after a period of time.

Some impoverished cultivators might use this method to fish, using the spirit stones obtained from plundering cultivators to alleviate their financial burden.

Of course, such methods can also lead to mutual destruction; the main idea is that if I die, you won't live either.

Chen Han waited patiently until about five breaths had passed and the mountain rat was still unharmed. Only then did he feel relieved, and he strangled the mountain rat to death and buried it on the spot.

Chen Han brought the small porcelain bottle close to his nose, and a delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

Chen Han couldn't determine what kind of pill it was just by its smell, so he took out a notebook from among the inherited items. This notebook was left by the predecessor who set up the inheritance, so that the successor could understand the cultivation world in advance.

Chen Han learned about the basic knowledge of the cultivation world, as well as spiritual energy, magic power, magical artifacts, and various unpredictable methods, all from this place.

After studying it for a while, Chen Han finally learned the name of the pill in the porcelain bottle: the Qi-restoring pill.

After taking it, cultivators can replenish their qi, blood, and mana in a short time; it is a small medicine that can restore their condition in a small amount.

This item is typically taken when both sides are locked in a fierce battle, or when one is fleeing and needs sufficient magical power to activate it.

"nice one."

Chen Han's face showed satisfaction as he carefully put it away.

He then turned his gaze to the several identical talismans. He recognized them; they were fireball talismans commonly seen in the cultivation world. He had witnessed the terror of these talismans before and had almost lost his life to one of them.

Now that he also possesses the Fireball Talisman, his confidence has undoubtedly increased.

The talisman is very easy to use and requires little magical power, so Chen Han doesn't need to worry about not being able to use it.

The last item, which Chen Han held in his hand, was a jade scroll.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Han tried to stick the jade slip to his forehead.

Many items in the cultivation world are very convenient. For example, books and jade slips are items that can be read word by word by casting a specific spell. You can simply release your spiritual sense to comprehend them, which can shorten the time by more than ten or a hundred times.

Furthermore, spiritual consciousness is a mysterious thing shared by all cultivators, existing within their spirit.

Chen Han was very familiar with this, because his extraordinary insight came from this spiritual sense, which was like the senses and perceptions of ordinary people, but it was even more useful among cultivators.

Spiritual sense is only relevant to low-level cultivators. High-level cultivators can elevate their spiritual sense to divine sense. According to Chen Han's understanding, once divine sense is unleashed, it can perceive any movement within a radius of 100 meters, or even 1,000 meters, with the individual as the center.

Such divine power is no exaggeration to call him a god.

After a while, Chen Han removed the jade slip from under his forehead. In just fifty breaths, he had already learned everything recorded on it.

"I never expected this to be a book for learning magic."

The spells recorded above are few, only a handful, and apart from the fireball spell, the others are too difficult for Chen Han, who is a body cultivator.

Chen Han had no choice but to put it into his storage bag, intending to put it aside for a while and study it when the time was right.

After finishing everything, Chen Han went back to the cave to inspect it, and left after seeing that Ding Fan was still there.

Imprisoning Ding Fan was not his original intention; his original intention was to kill Ding Fan and destroy the evidence.

As for why this person is imprisoned now, Chen Han has his own reasons.

That night, Chen Han arrived at the Xu residence as scheduled.

He stood in the shadows with his arms crossed, watching Master Xu pace anxiously in the courtyard. Through the doors and windows, Chen Han could clearly see what he needed in Ding Tang—the very materials required for practicing the Thunderclap Martial Arts.

There wasn't a single guard in the courtyard, and even the servants and maids had been driven away by Master Xu, clearly to make it easier for Chen Han to come here.

"Very good, he didn't try to play tricks on me. This old man is a smart man."

Chen Han muttered to himself, and the next moment he appeared in front of Master Xu.

"My lord, you have arrived. I have prepared what you requested. Please take a look."

Chen Han glanced at it briefly and, seeing that everything was indeed in order, said, "Well done, I'm very satisfied. I wonder if Mr. Xu has any problems that need my help?"

Chen Han was a free spirit, and he was quite satisfied with Master Xu's approach. If it were just coercion without paying a penny or exerting any effort, he would feel a little embarrassed.

"Hehehe, you jest, sir. How could I let you do things for me? It is only right for me to be filial to you."

Chen Han glanced at Master Xu with considerable surprise, thinking to himself, "How can a person be so shameless?" But then he remembered that when he was begging for favors in the Black Mountain Gang, he seemed to be even more shameless than Master Xu.

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up, what's the problem?"

"My lord, I truly have caused no trouble. If I had to say something..."

Master Xu hesitated visibly. "If I had to say, the royal family has been suppressing my small businesses quite severely recently. Please don't overthink it, sir. I was just mentioning it casually; I had absolutely no other intentions..."

"Alright, I agree to this. The royal family, right? No problem. But as a mutually beneficial arrangement, I might need to do some small favors in the future. Please don't refuse, Mr. Xu."

Master Xu was visibly taken aback, then became skeptical. "This man dares to even touch royalty? Or is he just trying to fool me?"

He knew this person was very strong, stronger than anyone he had ever met, but he never imagined that Chen Han would have the ability to go toe-to-toe with someone from the royal family.

The Imperial City and the Royal Family represent the supreme and absolute power in the Chu Kingdom. It is a place where talented individuals emerge in great numbers and masters gather. It controls over 70% of the martial artists in the Chu Kingdom and even has a 400-strong martial arts imperial guard.

This is incredibly powerful; it's practically capable of sweeping aside other countries.

And this person in front of them dares to spout nonsense at them?

Master Xu didn't believe it even if he were beaten to death, but he still smiled and flattered him.

He might not be able to afford to offend the royal family, but he could still destroy his own enormous mansion at will.

While Master Xu was lost in thought, Chen Han had already quietly entered the hall and put all the materials into his storage bag.

"I'm leaving now. It was a pleasure working with you."

After saying this, Chen Han disappeared into the darkness with the wind.

Master Xu cursed inwardly, thinking to himself, "Who would want to cooperate with a monster like you who kills at the drop of a hat? If it weren't for the circumstances, I would have fled to another country long ago."

He knew very well that once he was targeted by such a master, even the government couldn't protect him, no matter how much money he spent. Therefore, he had no choice but to compromise.

Chen Han did not leave the city, but went to the palace.

Don't get me wrong, of course he won't openly oppose the royal family right now. He might be able to do what he promised Master Xu later, but definitely not now.
