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

What did he find out? And what is it about me that makes him go to such lengths...?

Chen Han's pupils suddenly dilated. "That's right!!! Someone discovered my true strength in my talent, which is my proficiency panel, and learned that my combat power has increased almost heaven-defyingly in a short period of time."

Outsiders only knew him as a martial artist with internal strength, and even Chen Qiuyu, who had a business deal with him, only knew that he had just reached the Transcendent Realm.

This could be explained by talent, but now that he has reached the peak of the Transformation Realm, it's different; it's very likely that he has obtained some kind of fortuitous opportunity.

"Alright, let's just drop this matter."

The world is full of extraordinary beings, so it is naturally full of all sorts of bizarre and wonderful methods. No matter how carefully he finished up the work, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

Although the reward was very generous, Chen Han did not want to gamble, and would never gamble.

Chen Han lingered in the teahouse for a few more moments before disappearing into the crowd and leaving Black Lion City.

Inside the cave, Chen Han reached one hand into the jar, and a sticky sound came from inside.

After rummaging around for a while, Chen Han pulled out a bloody object, about the size of a fist, that smelled of blood.

This is a hundred-year-old beast heart, which I stole from Qingxue's shop in the black market.

To achieve the steel-boned state of Tai Chi health cultivation, the essential item is the heart of a hundred-year-old exotic beast.

The heart is the organ that supplies blood and is key to promoting blood circulation throughout the body. Therefore, the blood and qi contained in the heart are more concentrated than the blood and qi in the flesh.

A few days ago, Chen Han only took a small sip, and his whole body became hot, with blood trickling out of his sweat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

This stuff is expensive, but not many people sell it because it's too nutritious; most people simply can't handle it.

"According to the martial arts manual of Tai Chi health preservation, you only need to take one a month, but I dare not take the whole one at once. If I really did that, I would probably bleed from all seven orifices and be furious."

"That's why I have to eat it every few days, slowly getting used to it."

"Six days have passed since then, and the blood and energy in my body have finally been digested by the practice of health preservation exercises. In other words, they have been refined."

Therefore, Chen Han still needs to eat a bite to ensure a steady increase in his proficiency while practicing Tai Chi health exercises.

With that thought in mind, Chen Han no longer hesitated. He suppressed his nausea and took a big bite into the sticky beast heart in his hand.

Hmm... Chen Han even sucked the membrane that he couldn't bite off into his mouth.

Suppressing his physical discomfort, he chewed it twice and swallowed it in one gulp.

Before long, he felt as if a fire was burning in his stomach, and tiny flames, like snakes, flowed into his limbs and bones, burning incessantly.

Chen Han's skin turned an unnatural red, and sweat mixed with blood trickled out again. Visible heat rose up, and Chen Han couldn't help but kneel down on the ground.

"This is better than last time; at least I can still concentrate on thinking..."

Recalling the last time, he struggled on the ground for several hours before he regained his senses and had the strength to stand up and practice his health-preserving exercises.

Chen Han remained incredibly calm, gritting his teeth as he forced himself to stand up despite his discomfort and began cultivating.

······

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Black Lion City.

"No, no, why isn't it...?"

Xue Yinzi sat in the hall, looking at the group of martial arts masters who bowed their heads below, his face very ugly.

Ever since he joined forces with the Xuanyuan family in the city to spread false information, many martial arts masters at the Transformation Realm immediately came to sign up, which made him very happy. He thought that Chen Han must have been tempted by the news.

However, things didn't go as planned; he 'selected' from among these people but ultimately failed to find the person.

"Two hundred and fifty taels of silver a day—even a wealthy family like the Chen family would be tempted. They've sent people from their family before, so why isn't Chen Han among them?"

Xue Yinzi muttered to himself, "Could it be that Chen Han has sensed something? That shouldn't be the case. He's so young, how could his mind be so precarious..."

"grown ups."

At this moment, his subordinate came to report.

"Enter."

"My lord, I have all the information about Chen Han."

Xue Yinzi narrowed his eyes slightly. "Speak."

Then, the subordinate told him everything he had found out, and the truth was pretty much as he said. However, after Chen Han returned to his family, the news of him disappeared, and the next news was about his disappearance.

"Are you sure this news is reliable?"

"My lord, it's absolutely true. This was told to me personally by an inside agent of the Chen family."

Xue Yinzi's eyes changed. "The inside man, are you talking about that Chen Lei?"

"Indeed, sir, you are incredibly powerful. Ever since we easily defeated this man last time, he has been utterly devoted to you and is now completely serving my Black Mountain Gang."

Xueyinzi chuckled with satisfaction. "Good, very good. You've done a good job. You may leave."

After his subordinates left, Xue Yinzi's expression turned slightly serious.

"It seems this kid has truly sensed something. This young man is no ordinary person... He even made me leave disappointed after personally taking action."

Chen Han wasn't in the family, so he couldn't even find him. As for luring him, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of him. This... made things difficult for him.

Xue Yinzi thought to himself, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Chen Han, you're really intriguing me. I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood."

Six days later.

Deep in the mountains, outside a cave, Chen Han stood as still as a pine tree, holding his breath. The surroundings were completely silent, save for the chirping of a few birds and insects in the mountain stream.

Before him was a huge boulder that had rolled down from the mountainside, taller than a person, about twenty feet wide, and weighing over eight hundred kilograms.

With a loud thud, Chen Han took a step to the side, grabbed the boulder from below with both hands, and lifted it upwards with all his might.

At first, the boulder remained motionless, but gradually Chen Han began to exert force, and the boulder began to tremble. In the end, the entire boulder was lifted up.

Although it is only one finger tall, it is already a remarkable achievement for a young man in his early twenties.

If Chen Feng, the head of the Chen family, saw this scene, he would probably adopt him as his godson on the spot.

However, after a couple of breaths, Chen Han couldn't hold on any longer and let go. The boulder fell with a dull thud, and even the ground trembled.

Chen Han opened his arms, stared blankly at his hands, and suddenly beamed with joy.

His punching power has reached an astonishing level of 1,000 jin! But that doesn't mean he has the strength of 1,000 jin.

Compared to a punch with a thousand pounds of force, the ability to sustain eight hundred pounds of strength is obviously more terrifying.

"That's too fast, that's way too fast."

Not to mention others, even Chen Han himself felt that his progress was too fast.

No wonder Xueyinzi is so obsessed with Chen Han.

Chen Han has now fully digested the blood and qi from his heart that he had just swallowed, and it's time for him to go to the city again.

Chen Han put on his shirt, tidied himself up for a moment, and then disguised himself again and came to Black Lion City.

This time he went to a different teahouse, and soon overheard some news from the people chatting. His lips curled slightly, but then he became serious again.
