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

Chapter 148 One against one, fair.

There is a fundamental difference between mortals and cultivators.

Even a martial arts master among ordinary mortals couldn't do anything to him, but it was a different story for a cultivator who had entered the Qi cultivation realm and stepped into the threshold of immortality cultivation.

It's like an ordinary person versus an inconspicuous stray dog ​​on the roadside. Although the stray dog ​​can cause some harm to a person, that's its limit. It can't cause any real trouble, and a person can easily kick it to death with a few kicks.

However, if you encounter a wolf, a leopard, and another ordinary person, it's a different story.

This could be fatally dangerous.

Su Zhenyue was also a cultivator, and she knew very well how difficult the path of cultivation from scratch to entry level was. She had once spent a full half year on it, and that was with someone teaching her.

The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties, and one will often encounter bottlenecks and obscure and difficult-to-understand aspects, thus often stagnating in cultivation, and one can only rely on perseverance and one's own comprehension to understand.

Besides this, another major factor affecting cultivation speed is spiritual root aptitude.

The better one's spiritual root aptitude, the faster one can comprehend the Dao and absorb spiritual energy, and the faster one's cultivation speed will naturally increase, often three or four times that of those with low spiritual root aptitude.

Those with low aptitude absorb spiritual energy slowly, lack comprehension, and are often looked down upon by no one, have no backers, and live in poverty.

These two points are the immutable laws that trap the vast majority of low-level cultivators.

But at this moment, an undeniable fact was laid before her: the young man in front of her had actually managed to enter the Qi realm through his own exploration in less than four months, and had successfully entered the first level of Qi cultivation. This was equivalent to the first level of Qi cultivation.

As for her, after cultivating for over twenty years, she had only just reached the third level of Qi Refining, which was already considered above average among independent cultivators.

This young man named Chen Han has a spiritual root that is probably of excellent quality.

She didn't know exactly how high it was, but she did know one thing: she absolutely could not let this person leave alive today, otherwise, the consequences would be dire!

Their relationship has reached an irreconcilable point. There is no way to make peace. There is only one outcome: a fight to the death.

That's not right. Why would they be the ones chasing and killing each other, leading to this situation?

Su Zhenyue's thoughts raced, and she quickly figured everything out, finding her answer in her heart.

"So, this was a trap you set."

Chen Han did not respond to the woman, but simply stared at her coldly, a murderous intent brewing within him.

"What?!"

Zhao Wushuang was terrified and suddenly reached back to grab Ding Fan, who had tricked them, and drag him out.

But they came up empty-handed, only to find that Ding Fan had already disappeared without a trace.

Chen Han gave a cold smile.

Su Zhenyue and Lu Tianren wanted to know Chen Han's whereabouts, but Chen Han was also secretly keeping track of their movements.

Zhao Wushuang was ordered to secretly monitor and investigate Chen Han, while Zhuge was also observing the situation in the palace. He noticed that Zhao Wushuang had become increasingly solitary recently and had been investigating the Chen family. He then informed Chen Han of this.

Chen Han, after learning about this, made his own judgment.

Based on their understanding of Lu Tianren and Su Zhenyue, these two old foxes, it was impossible for them to completely trust each other. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for them to secretly do some dirty tricks behind each other's backs.

It is highly likely that one of them has traced the Chen Han family back to their family.

Chen Han was unaware of the other subtle actions of the two, but he did know about Zhao Wushuang.

This person is acting suspiciously and unusually, always going alone; there's clearly something fishy about him.

But this alone was not enough to confirm Chen Han's suspicions. What truly made him certain was the day the old steward died.

The Chen family has only been in the capital for a short time, how could they possibly be on the same level as this big shot? Isn't this just a test of whether their hook can catch any fish?

However, out of caution, he still had Zhuge Rushuang use her position to investigate the connection between the Chen family and Zhao Wushuang.

It was later discovered that Zhao Wushuang did indeed have dealings with the Chen family, specifically in their family business dealings.

Even Chen Han at the time had some doubts about whether he was overthinking things.

But he ultimately trusted his gut feeling and insisted that Zhuge Rushuang investigate thoroughly.

Finally, as expected, the relationship between the Chen family and Zhao Wushuang was quite peculiar. Most decisions were made on the same day they were made and resolved without any detours.

On the surface, both parties seem to be straightforward people, but the smoother things go, the more problems there are.

Thinking about it more deeply, the Chen family had fallen on hard times and had little wealth left. They handled some matters decisively and quickly, but from another perspective, this was careless and irresponsible.

Family matters are of great importance, and such important decisions cannot be made hastily in a short time.

According to past practice, some major matters not only required consultation between the two parties, but also internal discussion between the two parties, and government approval.

Even the fastest process would take more than ten days, but Zhuge Rushuang's investigation only took them two days.

If others heard about this, they would only think that the Chen family was too hasty, while Zhao Wushuang's side was a large and powerful family with a strong background, so they were not afraid of losing money at all.

But Chen Han knew his family elders well; they wouldn't act rashly without careful consideration before making any major decisions.

To create such a situation, either the other party offered them irresistible terms, or a high-ranking member of the Chen family had been bribed.

It was for this reason that Chen Han was certain that Zhao Wushuang was loyal to one of the two cultivators.

Therefore, he released Ding Fan and sent him to deliver a message to Zhao Wushuang.

As a result, one of the cultivators learned of this news alone. He no longer cared about the alliance and, relying on his status as a cultivator, confidently came to capture him on his own.

What they didn't know was that he had already completed the first stage of Qi Condensation after fully drawing Qi into his body. Successfully condensing Qi meant that the cultivation technique had achieved minor success, which was equivalent to the initial stage of Qi Refining for a mortal body.

This transforms the desperate disadvantage of one mortal fighting two cultivators into a fair situation of one cultivator fighting one cultivator.

As for the martial arts masters who came with them... they're better than nothing.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Chen Han had already witnessed the methods of the two cultivators at Eagle Falcon Mountain. They were nothing more than a few talismans, magical artifacts, and spells.

He would never have dared to approach or deal with these things before, but now it's different. With the Thunderous Blood Refinement Mastery and several talismans and magical artifacts on his body, he has comprehensive countermeasures and is vigilant.

But the most important one has to be the beginner's Soul-Sweeping Heaven-Supporting Skill!

This is a true body-refining method for cultivators, which allows them to gain an absolute advantage in close combat with magic practitioners.
