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

"Miss Liu."

Chen Han smiled politely at her.

The latter simply ignored it with indifference.

Chen Han wasn't displeased by this. He was used to this kind of thing when he was at Black Lion. It was fine; he could just write it down in his notebook.

Lu Tianren saw it clearly too, but said nothing. He looked at Chen Han with an expression that suggested he had already seen through everything, but still asked, "Brother Chen Yan, have you reached the pinnacle of your cultivation?"

Chen Han knew what he was asking and answered truthfully, "That's right. During the time I've been on the run, I've been practicing Tai Chi health cultivation without the slightest slackening."

"Yes, very good, very good..."

Lu Tianren nodded, then said, "Let's continue on our way."

Only then did Chen Han notice a lifelike wooden puppy in front of the group, so realistic it looked real.

He knew without even thinking that this must be a method used by cultivators, and it was probably an artifact used to find inheritance.

Upon seeing this, Chen Han's expression changed slightly, marveling at the rich variety of methods employed by cultivators.

At the same time, he also felt immense pressure. The current situation was completely out of his control. In fact, ever since he came to Eagle Mountain, he had been going with the flow, and every decision he made was a desperate choice to save his life.

Unfortunately, everyone in this group was simply too powerful. They were either immortal masters who knew magic or powerful martial artists who were renowned in their respective regions. He, a mere martial artist, simply could not contend with even one of them.

That is, only after comprehending the ultimate meaning did he have the power to fight. Of course, this was only for martial artists; at least he wouldn't be easily killed.

Cultivators are someone he simply cannot face right now. Their terrifying fireball spells are truly terrifying; not to mention him, even martial artists might not be able to withstand them.

"Now, we can only take it one step at a time."

On the other side, Lu Tianren felt heartbroken looking at the puppet leading the way. This was a puppet that he and Su Zhenyue had created at a great cost, using more than ten spirit stones and consuming nearly 80% of their spiritual power.

However, this little gadget did not disappoint them. It was able to capture the faint spiritual energy that even cultivators could hardly detect, and find a path to the final inheritance in this cave that had collapsed most of the way.

In fact, they reached a consensus on temporary cooperation two months ago after defeating the monster.

Most of the roads in these mountains have collapsed, making the chances of finding the heritage by human effort alone extremely slim.

Although they had determined that the place of inheritance was near that small world, they still couldn't find the passage, or perhaps there wasn't one at all. Moreover, there was a demonic beast eyeing them covetously, forcing them to find another way.

It would be better to put aside past grievances and cooperate temporarily, and then fight for the inheritance once we have it.

The group continued their journey for several more days, encountering strange beasts and even deep underground ravines that blocked their path from time to time, but they managed to avoid any major dangers along the way.

Finally, on this day, everyone finally found their destination.

This is a relatively open cave hall with traces of human habitation, including a stone table, stone chairs, a stone bed, a campfire, and even glowing vines that illuminate the entire cave hall.

To be precise, this was a cave dwelling, surrounded by a ring of underground currents. Chen Han noticed a large pit in one of those currents, which appeared to have been blasted open.

"Finally found it! It's been so long!"

Lu Tianren let out a leisurely sigh, unable to hide the smile on his face.

Everyone's faces lit up with joy. Finding the inheritance meant that the matter was nearing its end and everything would be settled.

Chen Han, on the other hand, seemed somewhat uneasy. He was undoubtedly in the worst situation at the moment. Lu Tianren didn't even care about Chen Canghai's sexual affairs, so what was he?

Once he gets his hands on the heirloom, Lu Tianren will definitely kill him first.

"Nothing more than that, because I alerted the horde of beasts and caused them great suffering, none of them will let me go."

Chen Han thought to himself, pondering a way to break the deadlock.

"How about this, we don't need to fight over it anymore. Let's each have half. That way, it's better for everyone."

Lu Tianren spoke up.

He had very little magic power left and could not sustain him in battle for long. Lacking confidence, he decided to accept earning less this time.

"Okay, that's fine."

Su Zhenyue agreed without much thought.

However, a subtle smile played at the corners of her lips, and a shrewd glint flashed in her eyes.

Lu Tianren injured her before; this matter isn't so easily forgotten. You think you can just divide the treasures as you please, and fight as you please? Hah, who do you think you are...?

"Young friend Lu Yan, Miss Liu, why don't you go together? There are still tests inside. Try them all, and whoever passes will take out the inherited item."

Lu Tianren smiled and spoke to the two of them.

"Um."

Liu Qianqian responded softly.

"He is a celestial master."

Chen Han was quite respectful.

The two walked towards the cave one after the other under the watchful eyes of the crowd. As they passed through the underground currents, a faint barrier appeared, causing them to pause slightly.

"This is the kind of restriction that can block cultivators; it's truly amazing."

Liu Qianqian sighed inwardly.

Chen Han also took a closer look at the barrier, and then at the large crater that had been blasted out, and seemed to understand something.

The two struggled to move forward, but gradually found it difficult to take another step. They felt as if their bones were under immense pressure, as if they were carrying a small mountain and their bones were about to break.

Chen Han gritted his teeth and desperately held on. He realized that this barrier was not only used to isolate cultivators, but also to test whether the person who came to receive the inheritance was qualified.

That is, the final level of steel bones in the first volume of the health-preserving exercise.

He was 100% certain that if it weren't for the health-preserving exercises that strengthened his body, he would probably have turned into minced meat and bones by now.

Chen Han glanced at the woman surnamed Liu in front of him. She was in better condition than him, but her face was still contorted with rage as she clenched her teeth and struggled to move forward.

Such torment was no less than torture, and each day felt like an eternity.

After a few breaths, the two of them, one in front of the other, suddenly gasped for breath and collapsed to the ground, weak and powerless. Only then did they realize that they had finally passed through the barrier and entered the cave.

At this moment, their aura dissipated, seemingly disturbing some creature, causing a sparse sound.

Chen Han and Liu Qianqian became highly vigilant. Sure enough, one after another strange beast burst out from between the rocks, making a loud noise. They resembled tigers, with leg muscles larger than Chen Han's face, and they surrounded the two of them.

Chen Han noticed that their eyes were white, empty and lifeless, as if they had been dead for a long time.

"This trap was set up long ago; is this the test?"

The two were exhausted, but these strange beasts didn't seem very strong, so they might be able to handle them.

"Chen Yan, cooperate with us."
