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

"Which looks better, the dress or the girl?"

Shen Yue looked forward to it.

Chen Han was taken aback. After the two chatted and laughed for a few more minutes, Chen Han finally asked what he was thinking.

"Who bought all these new items, and this dress you're wearing? The material doesn't look cheap."

Shen Yue was somewhat surprised, "Big brother, don't you know? It's senior sister."

"Senior sister? Which senior sister?"

"Hmm... that senior sister is very beautiful, what's her name again? Right, Sister Qiuyu."

Chen Han didn't react for a moment, and Shen Yue continued, "Sister Qiuyu said she was your senior sister, and then she bought all these new things for the house and took me shopping. She also bought these clothes for me."

Chen Han's gaze was complicated, and he sensed something was wrong. 'Is this woman afraid of me and doesn't dare to be my enemy, hence this attempt to befriend me?'

Chen Han was incredibly frustrated. He was still thinking about how to get revenge on Chen Qiuyu when the time was right.

But the other party's actions at this moment were deliberately designed to make him owe a favor. He couldn't possibly unpack and return the things that had already been delivered and installed, so he had no choice but to accept them.

He didn't want to have too many friendly interactions with Chen Qiuyu. This woman had humiliated him quite a bit before, and now that she saw he was powerful, she was sending him gifts to curry favor. What did she take him for?

The humiliation we suffered back then will not go unpunished; it's just that the time has not yet come.

No matter whose daughter she is, if you offend him, don't expect to have an easy time. Although he won't kill her, she will certainly suffer.

Chen Han was a very vengeful person, so he didn't dwell on the matter too much and decided to go home today and tell the three women not to accept things from others.

He then went back to his room and focused his attention on other things.

Taking out the Thunderclap Martial Arts Manual, Chen Han began to study it carefully.

A person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. The Mountain-Breaking Fist is ultimately just a third-rate martial art. If you want to reach a higher level in the future, you should start learning stronger martial arts as soon as possible.

The name "Benlei Ji" is perfect for him.

After examining it closely for a while, Chen Han looked troubled.

He discovered that mastering the Thunderclap Strike martial art required not only talent, but also immense perseverance and a substantial family fortune.

"The learning cost of this martial art is simply too high. Money is a minor issue; some things are simply priceless and unavailable for purchase."

"No wonder this martial art is so easily revealed; most people would rather have the will but not the ability to master it."

After considering it for a while, Chen Han realized that this skill was not something he could practice right now, so he could only keep it for now and try again when the opportunity arose.

Chen Han then opened the Tai Chi Health Preservation Exercise. After the Ming Jin stage, this exercise no longer distinguishes between strength and power. In other words, although this exercise can be used for killing, its main purpose is still health preservation.

After undergoing a complete transformation, one becomes "strong enough to move mountains and lift tripods, with bones of steel and iron!"

This realm allows for a further significant increase in the strength of muscles and bones. As the name suggests, the physical body can lift a tripod, and the muscles and bones are as strong as steel.

This step still requires sufficient amounts of monster meat, nourishing medicinal soup, and ten daily training sessions.

The only difference is that they have to eat the heart of a hundred-year-old mythical beast every month.

The heart of a mythical beast is extremely expensive, containing rich substances. Consuming it can strengthen a warrior's constitution and improve their blood and qi. It is even more expensive than the meat of the mythical beast, and ordinary people can't even see it.

"This is also beyond my current capabilities, so only the Mountain-Breaking Fist remains."

"The family's martial arts competition is in about two weeks. I need to improve my strength as soon as possible, cooperate with Chen Qiuyu, and try my best to defeat all my opponents in the competition."

Next, Chen Han resumed his daily routine of practicing martial arts at the crack of dawn.

Now that Shen Wan'er and her family have moved into the Chen residence, he no longer needs to worry about their safety.

A few days later, during a leisurely day, Chen Han sat down with the old steward to enjoy tea.

"Nephew Xiao Han, the clan's martial arts competition will be held soon. Although you are strong among the younger generation, you must remember not to be careless."

Chen Han nodded in agreement, saying, "Of course I won't be negligent. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. I know that much."

"Well, it's good that you know. By the way, you might run into Chen Huaizheng at that time."

This young man is also exceptionally talented. He began practicing internal energy cultivation at the age of twenty, and four years have passed since then. He may have already reached the peak of internal energy cultivation. Although he is not as good as you, he is still a formidable opponent.

Chen Han silently made a note of this person. Although he was confident, he was not arrogant. The saying "an arrogant army is bound to be defeated" was not an exaggeration.

The old steward continued, "And then there's Shan Zhen. Although this boy has ordinary talent, he excels in hard work and, coupled with his family's wealth, he has been cultivating his qi and blood since childhood, making his physical strength far superior to that of ordinary martial artists."

"Chen Shanzhen? Who is that? I don't recognize him at all..."

Chen Han couldn't remember where he had seen this person before. In fact, there were many other clansmen under the eaves whom he didn't know well.

The old steward nodded. "It's normal that you don't know this person. And don't tell anyone else..."

There's some juicy gossip to come!

Chen Han's gaze became subtle, and he tilted his ear slightly to hear more clearly.

"It's like this, Chen Shanjiang, who is also Chen Shanhe's eldest son, once..."

After the old steward finished speaking, Chen Han nodded with a look of lingering reminiscence.

Good heavens, this child was conceived by Chen Shanjiang after he violated several taboos with his married sister-in-law. The matter was suppressed at the time, so he rarely appeared in public from a young age.

Not many people knew about this, but the old steward was one of them.

Afterwards, Chen Shanjiang felt guilty and gave his sister-in-law's husband a sum of money so that the two could live a good life. At the same time, because the boy had Chen family blood, he stayed in the Chen family and was taught by his grandfather Chen Shanhe.

Chen Han exclaimed in disbelief, "Even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow! Besides, even if I were to steal someone else's food, my sister-in-law is a married woman..."

On the other side, "Grandpa, Chen Han was clearly toying with you. I, Chen Shanzhen, will not swallow this insult. Don't worry, I will make this arrogant fellow pay the price at the martial arts competition!"

Chen Shanzhen was furious when he learned that Chen Han had agreed to take up a temporary post in the mountain range, but then regretted it and refused the next day.

He will not let this person get away with playing tricks on his grandfather like this.

"Hmm, when Chen Han returned, he was only a martial artist at the peak of the Dark Force realm, not much different from you. I just don't know why his strength and skills are so amazing. You must be extra careful then."

Chen Shanzhen's face was filled with absolute confidence and youthful pride. "Don't worry, Grandpa. I have been taught by you personally since I was a child, and my body has been tempered with expensive resources."

Now, with this Qilin robe added to the mix, if I don't beat Chen Han to a pulp... I'm not Chen!

As he spoke, he looked at one of his undershirts, which was a rather soft shirt, but more than that.

This garment, named the Qilin Robe, is made from the hide of the mythical beast Qilin Ox. Wearing it can withstand nearly half of the punching force of a martial artist.

He was already strong and muscular, like a bear, and now with this armor, his resistance to blows is even higher. When he fights with all his might, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a humanoid beast.

He didn't take Chen Han, a mere internal energy martial artist, seriously at all.
