Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques
Chapter 72 Practical Application
The servants' complaints were completely ignored by Lu Tianren, and his expression remained unchanged.
"It's up to you, but I've already said this beforehand: the choice is yours."
As he spoke, seemingly annoyed by the noise of the fallen man, he raised his hand as if to burn him to ashes, but then hesitated to use his magic, and instead ordered, "Throw this man far away from me..."
"Yes, I will follow your instructions, Immortal Master."
The group dared not delay. One of them immediately walked towards the man who was screaming in agony, and then, with veins bulging on his arm, he snapped the man's neck.
The screams abruptly stopped.
They then carried the man's body and threw it into the abyss below the cliff.
From beginning to end, Lu Tianren didn't even glance at them. Yes, the lives of mortals held no interest for him, not even those of martial arts masters who were renowned throughout the world.
"I'll give you six more months. If you still can't improve, then get out of here..."
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
Inside the cave, Chen Han smiled as he looked at the Broken Life Butterflies that had all transformed into their cocoons.
"The growth of the Broken Life Butterfly is going smoothly. It should take no more than a month for them to emerge from their cocoons and grow into truly aggressive Broken Life Butterflies that can cut off people's paths."
Chen Han had high hopes for him.
While raising the dead butterfly, I naturally didn't stop practicing Tai Chi health exercises.
Some time ago, he had almost absorbed all the blood and energy from the black bear's heart. He could eat the next one in a couple of days. He was still two more to go before reaching the Great Perfection of the Steel Bones and Iron Body level, which would take about three months.
The weather gradually turned cold, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. The night was as black as ink, and the sky was gloomy. Chen Han was still wearing the same thin clothes.
However, this chill was nothing to him now; it felt like he was in his past life enjoying air conditioning.
Chen Han would usually light a small, inconspicuous campfire in the cave at this time of day to make himself more comfortable as a human. However, he unusually did not light a fire this night.
Chen Han bent down in front of the makeshift incubation site he had built, his eyes shining with excitement as he watched quietly.
Without the campfire, the cave was pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but in front of him were some specks of green fireflies like stars.
Those were cocoons, and the green glow originated from the tips of the cocoons.
In fact, Chen Han had already discovered this phenomenon long ago, and it had been the same every day, but today was different.
He noticed that one of the luminous green beads was flickering on and off, and occasionally it would tremble.
Chen Han knew that this was the time for him to break free from his cocoon and transform into a butterfly.
Sure enough, not long after, a small bump appeared on the cocoon, and a little creature was trying hard to poke its head out, but it was too weak and failed several times.
But after a short while, seemingly after a rest, they reluctantly tried again.
Chen Han watched quietly, his heart leaping into his throat.
This was his first time raising Gu gu, and he wasn't very confident that he hadn't made any mistakes. Until he succeeded, everything was unknown.
Time passed slowly, and the other cocoons gradually began to stir, their shimmering green light flickering erratically.
Finally, at some point, the little creature that was the first to emerge from its cocoon broke through the cocoon layer, poked its head out, and then its limbs and body.
Before long, it revealed its true butterfly form to Chen Han.
Its wings are broad and thin like cicada wings, and it has two antennae on its head. Its whole body is emerald green, but in the dark, only a little glow can be seen on the top of its head.
Chen Han was overjoyed. Before he could react, the second and third emerged from their cocoons one after another.
Then, the seventh, the eighth... the number kept increasing, and Chen Han was dazzled.
Perhaps it was because of nourishing his essence and blood, but from some point onwards, Chen Han had developed an inexplicable resonance with them.
He could clearly sense the emotions of these lifeless butterflies and could transmit his consciousness to them.
In other words, Chen Han doesn't even need to speak; he can issue commands to them as easily as if they were his own arm.
Chen Han waited a moment, and the more than one hundred densely packed dead butterflies all stared at him, wide-eyed, until Chen Han was sure that their wings had hardened before he tried to give a command in his mind.
"take off."
The next moment, a few birds fluttered their wings and took flight, circling around Chen Han. The majority of the birds were a beat slower before they followed suit.
"Very good, although the reaction is a bit slow, it is still quite obedient."
"After all, he has only just come of age and cannot yet control his arms and legs perfectly. He can improve with practice in the future."
Two days later, Chen Han left the cave and came to a small lake, where strange beasts often appeared.
He has been training the Broken Life Butterflies for the past two days, but it is more like a process of getting them to work together. The two sides have reached a new level of understanding, and Chen Han can now ensure that they remain calm in critical moments and follow his orders completely.
The purpose of this trip is for practical training.
After waiting all morning, we finally encountered an unlucky fellow. It was a black rhinoceros, huge in size, with a black horn on its head thicker than its legs, and skin as rough as stone.
Chen Han took out the long box hanging from his waist. This was the shelter he had made for the Gu worms yesterday, so that he could carry it with him at all times.
He opened the long box, and countless green butterflies fluttered out, swirling around him.
"go!"
At Chen Han's command, they received the order and flew towards the black rhinoceros, circling around it.
The black giant rhinoceros had clearly never seen anything like this before and was momentarily confused.
However, as soon as Chen Han issued a will, it regretted not fleeing immediately.
Suddenly, the butterflies released bursts of dark green mist, which soon covered an area of more than ten meters. The beast's instincts told it that something was wrong, so it quickly fled!
But it was too late; it ran out of energy after a few steps.
Its steps faltered, and it struggled to escape the dangerous fog, but those damned butterflies kept releasing the fog around it, making it impossible for it to escape.
Before long, the unfortunate giant rhinoceros, who had only come to get a drink of water, collapsed with a thud, its vision gradually darkening, and it eventually died.
At this moment, Chen Han emerged from the shadows, a faint smile on his face, and arrived atop the giant rhinoceros with a satisfied expression.
The poisonous fog had not yet dissipated, but Chen Han did not care, because he was wearing that little treasure called the Poison-Avoiding Pouch.
He had already verified that the substance still had the same effect: dispelling the poisonous mist and miasma around the body, including the poisonous mist released by these life-severing butterflies.
Chen Han reached out to the giant rhinoceros and dug out its heart again. The heart was a healthy bright red and seemed unaffected by the poisonous fog.
However, Chen Han dared not be careless or lazy.
He's not incapable of defeating a centuries-old beast, so why risk swallowing it just for a moment of ease?
Thinking this, he casually discarded the valuable, bloody object.
"Well done, come back."
Chen Han opened the long box, and with a thought, the Broken Life Butterflies that had been hovering around him rushed in and entered this comfortable abode.
Chen Han looked towards Eagle Falcon Mountain, "We've wasted so much time, it's time to continue our journey."
