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

Chen Han arrived at the end of the cave. At this moment, Zhuge Rushuang was pale and covered in sweat. She was sitting cross-legged to recover her strength. She had obviously just woken up not long ago.

Ding Fan was taking care of the woman, his face full of respect.

Chen Han's arrival attracted their attention. Zhuge Rushuang opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Han without saying a word. Her face remained cold and aloof, as if she were a thousand miles away from him. However, her current situation inevitably made her feel a little afraid.

Chen Han walked straight up to the two of them.

"Ding Fan has indeed fallen into your hands, but I'm curious, why didn't you kill him?"

Zhuge Rushuang's beautiful eyes remained calm and her voice was indifferent as she asked the question.

"Why would I kill? I'm not some kind of serial killer."

Chen Han crossed his arms and approached the tall, elegant woman, looking down at her. However, the corner inevitably revealed a hint of spring in the air.

With her fair skin and jade-like bones, Chen Han couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

The latter sensed something, his face slightly angry, and pulled his white robes on both sides, covering himself up completely.

Normally, she would have been furious and slapped him.

But now, she felt weak all over, not knowing what she had been fed. Moreover, she had just heard Ding Fan say that this person was incredibly powerful. Not only that, but he could also control these strange and dangerous blood-black butterflies, which was terrifying.

At this moment, facing this person, she was like a fish on a chopping board, utterly powerless to resist.

Ding Fan, bruised and battered, was unaware of all this. He still thought his master would back him up, so he dared to meet Chen Han's gaze. But when he realized that this man dared to take advantage of his master, his eyes turned hostile.

"Cough cough..."

Chen Han eased the awkwardness, saying, "You have no grudge against me, so why would I kill you? It's just that you've traced my origins back to me, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic and imprison you."

Chen Han's words were half true and half nonsense. Part of the reason was that keeping these two people alive was still useful, and the other part was that he really couldn't bear to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"Is that so? What about the Black Mountain Gang? They have over a hundred members, and they've all offended you."

Zhuge Rushuang's eyes flickered as she asked the question.

Chen Han's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous expression, as he coldly stared at Zhuge Rushuang.

The latter wisely feigned weakness and shifted the focus.

"I was absolutely right to arrest you. You know far too much. I bet you've already connected me to Black Lion City and are trying to get information out of me."

Zhuge Rushuang's gaze shifted slightly, somewhat surprised that this person was so meticulous.

Yes, that's exactly what she thought, and she had even begun to connect him with the person the emperor had personally ordered to be arrested.

Zhuge Rushuang remained silent, clearly acquiescing. After a long pause, she spoke in a gentle, earnest tone,

"Alright, I won't ask any more questions. Just tell me what you want to do. You can't possibly lock me up forever."

When asked this question, Zhuge Rushuang was still uneasy, fearing that this person would covet her body and take her to play with day and night, leaving her unable to live or die.

In that case, she really had no way to deal with it.

She has many ways to save her life, but now that she's been drugged, she can't use her strength, and her chances of breaking the deadlock are slim.

Seeing that this aloof and mature woman was so sensible, Chen Han's expression softened a bit.

"That depends on your performance."

Chen Han spoke with a gentle smile.

Zhuge Rushuang's face showed embarrassment and annoyance, but after a moment's thought, her expression softened considerably. "Compared to the worst-case scenario, just this once isn't so bad..."

Zhuge Rushuang subconsciously glanced at the man in front of her. Aside from his somewhat frightening face, his physique was impeccable, more muscular and well-proportioned than any man she had ever seen. If he covered his face…

Thinking of this, she looked away, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger, inwardly cursing herself for what she was thinking.

"Do as you please, young master, just promise me you won't go back on your word afterward."

"master..."

Ding Fan's expression changed drastically. He hesitated, his face displaying a fascinating array of emotions.

Chen Han frowned, puzzled to see Zhuge Rushuang's cold demeanor fade and her now appearing subservient.

"Yes, tell me everything you've learned these past few days, and don't hold anything back."

After Chen Han said this, the master and apprentice were left completely bewildered.

A few breaths later, Zhuge Rushuang belatedly realized that she had been the one to misunderstand, her face showing even more shame and anger.

After calming down, he recounted all the major events he had seen and heard in the past few days, telling them everything he knew, including the Emperor's visit to them at night and the two mysterious people who dared to disrespect the Emperor.

Chen Han understood, a cold smile playing on his lips. 'So it really is you two. You're still alive, as expected. But why did it take you so long to appear? Did it really take so long to escape from Eagle Falcon Mountain?'

"By the way, you ran out of talismans and trump cards at Eagle Falcon Mountain, so you made a special trip back to the cultivation world to replenish your supplies, huh? I didn't expect you two cultivators to go to such lengths to capture a mere mortal like me."

As Chen Han thought about it, he couldn't help but feel more pressured. This meant that Lu Tianren and Su Zhenyue had begun to take him seriously and would be much more cautious in making any choices.

"It's a pity that in this critical moment, I was hoping to take advantage of your carelessness towards mortals and use talismans to trick you. Now it seems that this plan is most likely not going to work."

"Or... let's run."

"No, no, this is already the imperial city. It has abundant resources and martial arts techniques, making it the best place for me to become stronger. It's also the best place to gather information about the cultivation world. Besides, there are those two cultivators, Lu Tianren and Lu Tianren. If I can capture one of them alive, I can definitely extract a lot of information from them."

"Besides, Chen Han doesn't have much time left. Cultivation is about a slow and steady process; the sooner one embarks on the path of immortality, the better. Waiting until old age to cultivate is just suffering in vain; it's better to enjoy life in the mortal world."

A person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. Chen Han is not the kind of person who only sees immediate benefits.

"Aren't you afraid that the Emperor won't spare you after this? The Emperor's authority is beyond question. You saw what you shouldn't have seen, so your deaths are a foregone conclusion."

Chen Han keenly noticed this and wanted to use it to control the woman, or rather, to achieve some kind of cooperation.

After all, having a spy in the enemy camp would be of great benefit to future operations.

"How could my colleagues and I not know about this matter? But when the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. What can we do?"

Zhuge Rushuang seemed preoccupied when she talked about this matter. How could these people in the court not know about such things? They just saw through it but didn't say anything. There was no other way. Either way, they were going to die. There was no escaping it.

Ding Fan, who was standing to the side, was naturally unaware of this matter beforehand. Upon hearing this, his face was filled with shock, his breathing became rapid, and he looked at his cold and beautiful master with worry.

Chen Han chuckled inwardly. This was a catastrophe for them, but good news for him.

"How about this, you work for me. If you behave, I'll spare your life..."
