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

Chen Lei understood this better than anyone else, and it was because of this that he fell into Chen Qiuyu's hands.

Back then, fueled by passion, he slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a rooster, practicing martial arts to the point of oblivion. His knuckles were bruised and battered, barely enough to be compared to the sons of those who frequented brothels every night.

Even matters assigned within the family are manipulated behind the scenes by powerful figures.

Once, he was forced to take on a highly dangerous task, but he made a fatal mistake and was discovered by Xue Yinzi of the Black Mountain Gang, who punched him to the point of near death.

Fortunately, Xue Yinzi held back, and he escaped with his life.

However, after that, his martial arts training stagnated due to the severe damage to his physical constitution, which allowed the direct descendants of those families to completely surpass him, and he was often subjected to ridicule and sarcasm.

In order to compete with him again, he thought of Xue Yinzi's evil skill, the Xue Yin skill, which absorbs the blood and qi of others to nourish his own essence!

This evil martial arts manual was placed in his residence by someone unknown, appearing on his desk.

He didn't think too much about it at the time, and tried to cultivate with the idea of ​​trying anything as a last resort. After draining the energy of two enemy martial artists in succession, he found that the effect was remarkable.

He was overjoyed to be able to fight those direct descendants again that very day, and there were even signs that he might surpass them.

But secrets don't stay hidden forever, and he was eventually discovered. The person who discovered him was Chen Qiuyu. She didn't tell her family about it, but instead used it as leverage to threaten him.

That time, his request for Chen Han to take up a post under his patronage was also at the behest of this woman.

Now that I think about it, that Blood Yin Technique manual must have been given to him by Chen Shanhe. Chen Qiuyu just happened to stumble upon it and wanted to profit from it.

Now, Chen Shanhe's words have once again stirred up his resentment and injustice of the past.

Why should those loyal followers enjoy abundant resources? Why should they indulge in debauchery while being able to keep up with his daily arduous training?

Why are they always excluded from dangerous tasks? Why don't they have abundant resources? Why are they bullied and looked down upon? Why?! Why the hell?!

Seeing that Chen Lei seemed somewhat moved, Chen Shanhe continued, "Chen Lei, you have good natural talent and an excellent temperament. You are much better than those so-called geniuses who have been nurtured by resources since childhood."

"I have always had high hopes for you. If you follow me, I guarantee you will have a brighter future. You might even become a martial artist, let alone a martial arts master."

Chen Shanhe tried to reason with him earnestly, but before Chen Lei could respond, he heard the insults from the other clansmen:

"Chen Shanhe, you old bastard, you've turned against us and still shamelessly try to steal our Chen family's talent. Don't you have any shame left?"

"Elder of the Shanhe family, do you know what you've done? You are one of the three elders of the Chen family, yet you conspired with others to scheme against your own relatives. Are you even human? How can your heart be so cruel!"

"You old bastard..."

The Chen family members were filled with righteous indignation and angrily cursed Chen Shanhe.

After they broke through the Red Spider army's encirclement, they ran into Chen Huaiyu, who was being chased by Chen Shanhe.

After some questioning, they learned that Chen Shanhe had actually killed Qiu Yang's elder. They weren't stupid, and after a moment's thought, they realized that Chen Shanhe had betrayed them.

"Go ahead and curse, curse all you want, this day next year will be your death anniversary."

Chen Shanhe was a deep and experienced man, and he wouldn't get angry with these dying people over a few words; he would just treat it as the barking of dogs.

"Chen Lei, I'm giving you one last chance. Do you want to live, or do you want to die...?"

Chen Shanhe asked again in a deep voice.

Chen Lei looked distressed, caught in a dilemma.

"Young friend, judging from your appearance, I'm sure you're enjoying the benefits of my Blood Yin Technique even more."

Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows. He was disheveled, with cold, menacing eyes that sent chills down one's spine. It was none other than Xue Yinzi, who had easily brought him to the brink of death.

Xueyinzi gazed at him, his eyes revealing admiration.

"Not bad, not bad at all. My brother Shanhe was right to judge you. In less than half a year, you have cultivated the Blood Yin Technique to such a level. You are truly a rising star. I am even a little ashamed of myself."

"Senior didn't kill me last time... was it because of the Elder of the Mountain and River Clan?"

Xueyinzi gave a meaningful smile. "What do you think, young man?"

"Regardless, Chen Lei is grateful for your mercy in sparing my life, senior."

As Chen Lei spoke, he bowed deeply. It must be said that his supposedly firm resolve wavered at that moment.

"What's the use of just talking? I'm tired. How about... you kill two people to liven things up for me, and let me see if there's anything wrong with your Blood Yin Technique?"

Xue Yinzi spoke meaningfully, a half-smile on his face.

Chen Lei shuddered, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"Chen Lei, you're a member of the Chen family. We're brothers and sisters by blood. How can you bear to do this?"

Among the crowd, some people shouted out when they saw Chen Lei hesitate. Among them were his loyal followers who had kicked him when he was down on his luck.

"Chen Lei, how dare you... This is utterly rebellious..."

"Chen Lei, don't be fooled."

Seeing that Chen Lei was still hesitating in a dilemma, Chen Huai finally couldn't resist and quietly approached Chen Lei by disappearing into the crowd.

He is Chen Huaiyu's cousin, one of the direct descendants of the Huai family, and has an exceptional talent for martial arts. He entered the Dark Force realm at the age of twenty and has now reached the peak of Dark Force after four years, just one step away from reaching the Transcendent Realm.

He crept closer to Chen Lei, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "Since you intend to betray us, then die..."

At one point, he found an excellent angle, clenched his fist, and blasted it directly at Chen Lei.

snort!

Chen Lei was caught off guard and took the punch head-on. He groaned and was blasted several meters away. He didn't know how many of his ribs were broken. He was in so much pain that his face was contorted and he was spitting out blood.

Chen Shanhe's face turned fierce, and he instantly exuded a murderous aura.

Xue Yinzi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, signaling his men to bring the Chen family prisoners. He then knocked one unconscious with a chop and threw him in front of Chen Lei.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful. Powerless and vulnerable, he was bullied by others. Even now, unable to fight for power, he is still bullied and almost beaten to death."

"Speaking of which, you're still half my disciple. The opportunity for revenge is right in front of you, what are you still hesitating for?"

After saying that, Xue Yinzi put on an expression of watching a good show.

Chen Lei coughed up mouthfuls of blood, unable to speak, his throat hoarse from being soaked in blood. Finally, he looked at the two unconscious clansmen in front of him.

He then laughed out loud, walked forward under everyone's gaze, grabbed one of their necks with each hand, opened his mouth wide, and instantly, the blood and qi in their bodies turned into streams of light that flowed out from their seven orifices and were sucked into Chen Lei's mouth.

Gradually, the two awoke, screaming in terror, but as time passed, their movements gradually weakened, and they eventually became two dried-up corpses.

The terrifying scene sent chills down the spines of everyone present except for Xue Yinzi. Chen Huaizheng's gaze shifted repeatedly, sensing something was amiss.

At the same time, Chen Lei's aura was rising steadily, from Dark Force to the peak of Dark Force, then to Transformation Force, and finally to the peak of Transformation Force!

Chen Lei straightened his posture more and more, finally turning to face Chen Huaizheng, who had just attacked him. "Today, I, Chen Lei, have rebelled!"
