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

As mentioned before, Chen Han's method of cultivation using only spirit stones is seen as both extravagant and mindless by experienced cultivators in the cultivation world.

Today, it has been proven that this statement was not wrong at all.

Although this kind of spiritual energy comes quickly, it is extremely inefficient, and only a foolish cultivator would use it in this way.

However, this is not the world of cultivation, but the secular world, where one can only improve through this rigid method.

Therefore, Chen Han wanted to explore another path and see if there were any places like Eagle Falcon Mountain in this world, or if there were any monsters roaming around.

Chen Han was well aware of how rare a place like Eagle Falcon Mountain was, requiring both favorable timing and location.

The predecessors who established the lineage there did so for this very reason.

Today, Eagle Mountain is in ruins. Its favorable timing and location have been disrupted, and its spiritual energy has naturally dissipated. This once blessed land is now worthless.

While the serpentine beasts among them could not compare to the demonic beasts of the cultivation world that absorbed spiritual energy year after year, they were still demonic beasts, with thick skin and flesh, and extraordinary body strength. However, the weight of the collapsed Eagle Falcon Mountain was more than ten million jin.

Chen Han really couldn't tell whether this monster was alive or dead.

But he knew that if the monster survived by sheer luck, it would inevitably suffer a severe blow, resulting in a significant loss of strength.

If they could find it, eating its flesh and drinking its blood would surely allow Chen Han to advance his cultivation speed to a higher level.

Zhuge Rushuang nodded calmly, "Following your instructions on the 'demons,' I did find some information in the recent case files."

"Speak."

Chen Han glanced around warily, and after confirming that no one was listening or following him, he spoke.

Zhuge Rushuang felt helpless at Chen Han's serious expression. She didn't believe in such mythical creatures at all, but she didn't expect this arrogant and domineering wanted criminal to be so interested in them.

"That was four months ago. A caravan of warriors was passing through the edge of the wilderness. It was a dark and stormy night when they saw a long snake stretch its head out of the forest, spitting out clouds and mist towards the sky, surrounded by a shimmering, ethereal aura..."

Chen Han was overjoyed. 'That's it! The timing matches up. It is indeed the demon beast that escaped from Eagle Falcon Mountain. As for breathing clouds and mist... that's pure nonsense. I reckon the snake demon is absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recuperate.'

"Anything else? Where was it found? When exactly? Was there any follow-up?"

Chen Han asked.

"This... I don't know. It seems the specifics were deliberately erased by the royal family. I can't investigate further, but they must be stored in a secret shrine in the palace."

Zhuge Rushuang explained.

"Why couldn't a more in-depth investigation be conducted?"

Chen Han pressed on relentlessly, determined not to give up until he achieved his goal.

Zhuge Rushuang frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of annoyance. "Young hero, you should think carefully. What kind of place is that secret shrine? It's the most confidential place in the entire imperial city, and even the entire Yue Kingdom. How can you just walk in whenever you want?"

"Besides, you're currently wanted by the authorities, and the whole city is looking for you. How dare you?"

Chen Han's arrogance once again refreshed Zhuge Rushuang's worldview.

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Chen Han remained unyielding. "Don't meddle in this matter anymore. Just tell me quickly, time waits for no one."

"I...you!"

Zhuge Rushuang was speechless, inwardly cursing, "This person...this person is utterly shameless! How could I just casually enter such a sensitive area? What if he discovers something and runs away, leaving my entire family to be executed?!"

Zhuge Rushuang was so angry that her face turned red.

"Explain the situation to me clearly first. We're in the same boat now, and I won't let you do anything too dangerous."

Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Han quickly tried to remedy the situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Rushuang's rosy face regained some of its paleness.

She glared fiercely at the shameless, dark-faced man, then paused for a moment before continuing.

"The secret shrine is of utmost importance to the Yue Kingdom. Even a divine constable like myself cannot enter at will. Only when accompanied by a high-ranking member of the royal family can one enter for a short while."

"Furthermore, the review mechanism is quite strict, making it absolutely impossible to falsify anything."

Upon hearing this, even Chen Han fell silent.

This matter is indeed difficult to handle. The secret shrine is located inside the palace, a highly confidential place, heavily guarded by soldiers. Forcing its way in is simply not an option.

"Then why don't you find a member of the royal family to go with you? Just say you're interested in it and want to go see it."

Chen Han asked.

"You're oversimplifying things. Of course not. Members of the royal family are all high-ranking and powerful. To put it bluntly, I'm just a lowly constable. How could I possibly persuade those big shots?"

Zhuge Rushuang indicated that this approach wouldn't work.

"That can't be right. As a detective, you must have a lot of dealings with royalty every day. Think about it again..."

"..."

Zhuge Rushuang felt helpless in the face of Chen Han's pressure. After thinking carefully for a while, she realized that she did not have any connections or ability to enter the secret shrine of the palace. But then she thought of someone.

After thinking for a moment, she shook her head. "No, there are only a handful of people in the palace who can enter the secret shrine. Even when I'm investigating cases for them, I don't get to see them."

"However, there is one person I have met before, the Sixth Prince. But this man is extravagant and licentious by nature. Although he holds great power on the surface, he has long been sidelined. He once tried to curry favor with me, but I sternly rejected him. Now we are at odds."

As she spoke, a look of disgust appeared between Zhuge Rushuang's brows, clearly indicating that she had a very bad impression of this third prince.

Chen Han rubbed his chin. "This could be a breakthrough..."

Zhuge Rushuang stood up abruptly the next moment, her cold and beautiful gaze fixed on Chen Han. "That's enough. You think you can make me submit to this person? Absolutely not..."

"Things haven't gotten to that point yet, so it's not something that should cause you any distress. Please sit down and calm down..."

Knowing he had said the wrong thing again, Chen Han tried to comfort him.

"Then what do you mean by that? Don't you just want me to go to the Third Prince and bring up the matter of entering the secret shrine in the palace afterwards?"

"Of course not. I've heard a bit about that Third Prince. He's simple-minded and not very bright. Besides, he's been eyeing you for a long time. Because of that, you don't need to pay any price. You just need to seduce him a little."

Zhuge Rushuang rolled her eyes at Chen Han, her expression softening as she sat down again, her face still cold and aloof. "Seduction? You make it sound so easy. I'm not a prostitute in a brothel, how could I seduce you? I'm afraid you'd be caught as soon as you opened your mouth."

"this..."

Chen Han thought about it again and realized that it made sense. This ice-cold woman was decisive and aloof by nature, and as someone in a high position, her demeanor carried a cold elegance that kept people at a distance.

It's really asking too much of a cold, aloof female boss, a career woman, to seduce someone else.

But the next moment, Chen Han had an idea. He thought about it carefully and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

"We'll meet again tonight, and I'll give you something then. Once the Third Prince sees it, he'll surely obey your every command."

Zhuge Rushuang asked with a mixture of doubt and curiosity, "What is it?"

"You'll find out then. Oh, and remember to wear a skirt... Let's do it tonight."
