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

Chapter 157 He was quite angry

"This... secular cultivators are so rare, how did you manage to gather helpers?"

Lu Tianren's facial muscles were twitching, looking extremely ugly, as he asked Chen Han incredulously.

Chen Han smiled faintly, satisfied with Lu Tianren's reaction. "Of course it's about magic artifacts, magic stones, and cultivation techniques. What else could it be?"

"You...you're going all out, are you saying you're not going to cultivate anymore?"

Did I say I was using mine?

Chen Han still had his arms crossed, and he looked at Lu Tianren from afar with a smile of interest.

Lu Tianren was confused and didn't understand what Chen Han meant, but he quickly realized what was going on and became furious.

"Fine, they're using my things as leverage to scheme against me... Fine, fine, Chen Han, I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!"

You're really insidious..."

Lu Tianren could no longer tolerate it. He had been schemed against and suffered losses time and time again. Now he finally couldn't take it anymore and started cursing.

Chen Han ignored him, treating it as a dog barking. When he got annoyed, he said, "Fellow Daoist, this person is too noisy. Let's make our move now."

This old man was none other than the old cultivator whom Chen Han had schemed against during his hunt for the demonic python.

However, Chen Han never exposed him, as it would be pointless; with his strength, he might not even be able to kill his opponent.

However, this misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as Chen Han gained a temporary ally.

This old cultivator must have been a poor and destitute person in the cultivation world. Chen Han only used three spirit stones as a deposit and promised that all the spoils of war would be his afterward, which moved him.

"You, let me tell you, my uncle is at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and he's currently located in Huangshan Market. If you dare to interfere in this matter, my uncle will definitely take your life within ten days!"

At this moment, even Lu Tianren couldn't help but feel the threat of death, and he fiercely threatened the old cultivator behind him.

"Oh, is that so?"

Upon hearing this, the old monk fell into deep thought.

Lu Tianren's eyes darted around, his gaze shifting rapidly. "Fellow Daoist, you're only after spirit stones and magic artifacts, aren't you?"

"Simple, I'll give it to you. You help me kill this fellow, and he seized a legacy from me. He has many magical artifacts on him. We'll split it 40/60, you get 60% and I get 40%. What do you say..."

The old monk immediately hesitated.

Now it was Chen Han's turn to lose his composure.

"Senior, you should think this through. You made a promise to me. If you break your promise, your Dao heart may become unstable in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianren burst into laughter. "Unstable Dao Heart? Who are you trying to fool? The Dao Heart originates from one's inner yearning for the Great Dao. It's just a small promise; how could it have any impact?"

"Hiss... What you said doesn't make sense. This person possesses many valuable treasures, and I think if we cooperate, I can earn even more."

The old monk's eyes lit up, and he revealed a sinister smile.

"It's good that you understand, fellow Daoist. I will reward you handsomely afterward."

"No, I could indeed switch sides and cooperate with you, but how can you prove you won't change your mind later?"

Lu Tianren was visibly taken aback.

Such incidents of people regretting their actions or even turning around and accusing others do happen frequently.

"Fellow Daoist, how about this? I have seventeen spirit stones here. This is my last savings. I hope you won't find it too much."

As he spoke, he drew a stream of light from his storage bag, which stopped in Lu Tianren's hand—a bag of spirit stones, which he tossed directly to the old cultivator.

The old monk accepted it with a smile, weighed it in his hand, and then put it into his pocket.

"Fellow Daoist, now you can rest assured to cooperate with me."

"Alas, fellow Daoist, it's not that I'm troubled by many things, it's just that I've suffered a lot in the cultivation world over the past half of my life. Several times I've been tricked into situations where I was on the verge of death... I'm scared now. How about this, fellow Daoist, you hand over your offensive talisman to me again."

The old monk looked helpless and heartbroken.

"you..."

Lu Tianren has been quite angry these days, first Chen Han, and now the old cultivator.

He appeared calm and composed, but in reality, he was so angry he was about to grind his teeth to powder.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid this won't work."

The old cultivator frowned, puffed out his beard, and glared. "Why? Do you possess some high-level talisman, waiting to use it against me?"

"I...I..."

Lu Tianren wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say, and his face turned red and his neck thickened.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, if you don't believe me, I'll grant your wish. Take it out, and return it to me afterward."

In the end, Lu Tianren gritted his teeth and agreed. What else could he do? The situation was pressing, and the old man was so suspicious. If he didn't comply, not only would the situation turn in his favor, but the spirit stones he had given earlier would also be wasted.

This was money he had accumulated over time since entering the world of cultivation. Besides daily expenses, it was used to buy protective magic weapons and talismans.

Those expensive monster meats, spirit teas, and spirit wines were things that even the fairies in the shantytowns who practiced seductive arts and earned extra money by working night shifts dared not touch.

With this in mind, Lu Tianren had no choice but to take out the talisman and hand it over to the old cultivator, despite his reluctance.

The old monk flashed his signature smile again, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Good, very good..."

Lu Tianren took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and secretly vowed that he would make his uncle, who was at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, torture this person to death in the future, only then would he be able to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist, now you have no worries, right?"

"Yes, I feel relieved."

Lu Tianren laughed and said, "That's good, fellow Daoist. Let's quickly kill this person here."

"etc..."

The old cultivator suddenly frowned: "Your sword seems to resemble the personal magic weapon of one of my deceased friends. Let me take a look."

"You... Fellow Daoist, are you toying with me?"

Lu Tianren's anger reached its limit again and burst forth as he questioned him.

"Oh? You're only realizing it now?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianren was first stunned, then his anger surged to the top of his head, his eyes turned red, and he became like a mad beast.

"You old fool, how dare you! How dare you do this!"

"Hahaha, cooperating with you? How could that be? I hit it off immediately with this young friend, we're quite friendly. How could I possibly agree to this at the last minute!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Tianren flew away on his sword, even going so far as to bite his tongue and burn his life essence.

Chen Han had anticipated this, and his flying sword talisman shot out, creating a situation where the old cultivator was surrounded and intercepted.

Facing the oncoming golden flying sword, Lu Tianren neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead summoned two golden talismans, which immediately formed two defensive barriers in front of him.

The golden flying sword was incredibly powerful, breaking through the first line of defense with unstoppable force, but its power diminished significantly, and it became locked in a stalemate with the second line of defense.

Seeing this, Lu Tianren quickly raised his hand and infused it with his magic power. With a golden light, he flicked the golden flying sword away.

Chen Han was helpless. The power of the Golden Light Talisman and his magic power were both limited, so even if he poured in magic power, it would be in vain.

But the old cultivator wasn't idle during the time he was delayed. He had already taken up a high position. With a cold smile on his face, he raised his hand and pointed in the air, instantly creating a beam of light that shot straight towards Lu Tianren.
