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

The biggest shortcoming of a newcomer is the lack of experience, which is even more important than fundamental abilities.

In his previous life, when he entered society, he was perhaps inexperienced and was therefore cheated by shady agents and tricked into doing business, ultimately losing everything... but at least he survived.

If this happened in the real world, it would likely result in losing both money and life, ultimately turning a chicken-stealing attempt into a loss.

Chen Han saw this clearly and was quite cunning.

Upon hearing Chen Han's refusal, the group was all taken aback, thinking to themselves that this kid was so clueless and didn't know what was good for him.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it.

The group continued walking and chatting.

A soft rustling sound~

Just then, a faint sound came from the darkness ahead. The group looked up at the same time, their expressions becoming serious and they became alert.

Lu Tianren frowned, then relaxed as he recalled something.

"We're almost there, but the road ahead is not easy. Keep a close eye on Brother Chen Yan and make sure he doesn't get hurt."

As he spoke, a talisman appeared in his hand without him noticing. Then, magical power surged, and the talisman burst into flames, shooting straight into the darkness ahead.

In an instant, countless large eyes appeared in everyone's sight.

They were similar to toads, but much larger, about the size of a four- or five-year-old child, with eyes covered by eyelids on their heads, several times larger than a fist.

Their skin is grayish-red, with a viscous, transparent liquid flowing between it. White pus occasionally spurts out when squeezed from between the bumps, making them look extremely disgusting. Just looking at them is a huge eye hazard.

Apart from Lu Tianren, Chen Han and the others all took several steps back, their faces showing reluctance. Chen Han was even physically uncomfortable and almost vomited.

These grotesque creatures were truly disgusting. Even though he had fought his way through crowds and had taken more than a hundred lives, he couldn't help but feel physically uncomfortable at this moment.

"Immortal Master, what are these disgusting things? Why do they look so strange and repulsive?"

The man surnamed Chen spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"Why do you care so much? Just kill him."

Lu Tianren wasn't sure either, so he simply said it like that.

"I encountered these blood frogs last time I came here, and I killed them all. I didn't expect that in just over half a year, they would reproduce again. But it's just a minor problem."

As he spoke, he manipulated the flying fireball to rampage through the only path ahead, crackling and popping as the sounds of burning flesh and screams rose and fell.

Before long, a bloody path was cleared.

Once the talisman's power is exhausted, it turns to ashes and dissipates like smoke and clouds.

Seeing the terrifying power of the talisman just now, Chen Han felt more than just envious; his desire to cultivate immortality grew stronger.

"It's all done, let's go."

Lu Tianren spoke up.

The group continued on their way, but halfway there they ran into another group.

Lu Tianren had a bad feeling. He took out the talisman again, and everything blocking his way was burned to charcoal, filling the cave with a foul stench.

Fortunately, Chen Han had that poison-repelling pouch, which almost completely blocked the stench, making his complexion look not too bad. However, he still covered his mouth, after all, he still had to pretend.

There were quite a few poisonous frogs this time, and some even released a pale red mist before they died. This blood-red mist seemed to be poisonous, and even Lu Tianren couldn't help but take several steps back when he saw it.

"My lord, this poisonous fog is probably not simple."

"I asked the man surnamed Lu."

"That's natural. Eagle Falcon Mountain does have some spiritual energy, although it's far less abundant than the spiritual energy in the cultivation world, it still has some."

"Nurtured by spiritual energy, everything changes, herbs become even more potent, withered trees come back to life, and the earth's water becomes sweet. It's not so strange that these strange beasts can also mutate."

"The mist they released before they died was probably not poison, but a more terrifying blood miasma. Once touched, it could cause skin ulceration at best, and burn the bones and flesh at worst, resulting in a painful and miserable death."

Lu Tianren spoke coldly.

"Oh, I see. So, there are spiritual veins and spiritual pools within Eagle Falcon Mountain?"

Lu Tianren shook his head, finding such naive remarks amusing.

The universe is naturally filled with spiritual energy; spiritual energy exists everywhere.

Martial arts in the secular world, strange beasts in the wilderness, and all sorts of strange things in this world are mostly born under the nurturing of spiritual energy.

However, some places are naturally endowed with special natural resources or unique elements, so their spiritual energy is naturally richer and can nurture demonic beasts, while other places can only nurture exotic beasts.

This Eagle Falcon Mountain is very likely one of the two, but his opinion leans more towards the second. He suspects that the spiritual energy here is more concentrated than in the secular world, precisely because of that inheritance.

Cultivators all possess some spirit stones, or even smaller spirit crystals.

Spirit stones and spirit crystals are both currencies in the cultivation world. In the secular world, they are like gold in the eyes of ordinary people, or even more precious.

His primary goal this time was spirit stones, followed by elixirs, talismans, magic artifacts, and other items for cultivating immortality.

As for why items like magical artifacts and cultivation techniques are listed later, it's naturally because the lineage here is obvious; it's a lineage of individual cultivation, and everyone in the cultivation world knows that individual cultivation is weak and inferior.

Body-refining cultivators are nothing more than brute strength; they are indeed very strong in close combat. However, how could a magic cultivator give them the chance to get close?

The magic cultivator, relying on its large and pure magical power reserves, can easily kill the body cultivator with its spells, attacks, and even its ability to fly.

Thus, the saying "Body cultivation is weak" became widely known in the cultivation world.

Body cultivators are weak, and apart from spirit stones that can attract other cultivators, they don't have much else of value. As for their body-refining techniques and low-level magic weapons that are not worth mentioning, they naturally come after spirit stones.

Finding the question troublesome, Lu Tianren ignored the person who asked and coldly said after using his magic to dispel the poisonous fog, "Let's continue."

The group walked for a while longer, encountering the poisonous frog more than once along the way.

About half an hour later, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a vast little world at the end of the cave. Chen Han roughly estimated it to be about the size of three or four football fields.

The ground is covered with thick soil, on which green grass grows. Lush green vines climb the surrounding stone walls. At the end of the field of vision, there is a large lake. The water in the lake seems to come from somewhere underground.

Looking around, this place is lush and vibrant with life, resembling a paradise on earth.

Unbelievable! This seemingly ordinary Eagle Mountain is actually a hidden paradise.

Not only were Chen Han and his group deeply shocked, but even Lu Tianren, a high-ranking and knowledgeable cultivator, was momentarily stunned.
