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

Just as Chen Han was racking his brains, thinking about how to escape, a faint voice came from behind him. Upon hearing it, Chen Han's gaze narrowed slightly.

He subtly tilted his head so Lu Tianren wouldn't notice, then replied softly, "Cooperation? How do you intend to cooperate? How much sincerity can you offer?"

"It was originally very simple. I brought the storage bag that Master Su gave me. You just watch from the side and don't stop me. After we succeed, we'll make sure you leave this place safely."

But now, you have to hold off these corpse beasts and help me obtain the inherited item.

"Of course, Master Su and I will still ensure your safety after this incident."

Chen Han remained unmoved. "What I want is genuine sincerity, not your casual, insignificant words."

"You have no choice..."

"Do you know how much trouble Lu Tianren suffered because you disturbed those strange beasts? He almost died there, including from that monster. Do you think someone like him will spare your life after this?"

Liu Qianqian sneered, "Let me tell you, don't even think about it."

How could Chen Han not have anticipated this? But what could he do?

Liu Qianqian saw through Chen Han's thoughts and pressed her advantage, "Judging from your expression, it seems you had expected this all along. The reason you followed the footsteps that day was because you were unwilling to let this heirloom fall into his hands, right?"

Chen Han's expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself that this woman surnamed Liu was indeed a martial arts master and a smart person.

He can anticipate the intentions of others, and others can naturally anticipate his intentions as well.

The woman surnamed Liu continued, "You want to obtain this inheritance because you also want to enter the world of cultivation. So, if this matter is settled, I will plead for you to get a job in the world of cultivation. Perhaps Master Su will be happy after obtaining the inheritance and agree."

"At that time, it might not be impossible for the two of us to cultivate immortality together and achieve eternal life."

As she spoke, she turned her almond-shaped eyes and gave Chen Han a meaningful look.

Chen Han hesitated slightly. He hadn't heard such pleasant words in a long time. Cultivating immortality! That was cultivating immortality! After cultivating immortality, wouldn't he become an immortal master, above all others, a legendary figure in folklore?

After thinking it over, Chen Han finally agreed.

Upon seeing this, Liu Qianqian's lips curled slightly. She understood that this person could not refuse the reward she offered, because he was already at his wit's end, and refusing would mean certain death.

"Alright, Brother Chen Yan, you hold off these corpse beasts. After I put all the inherited items into my storage bag, you follow me."

"no problem."

Chen Han readily agreed, then dragged his body, which had just recovered a little strength, to stay by Liu Qianqian's side, while Liu Qianqian strode towards the back of the cave.

It was a stone platform located below the waterfall, and a person was sitting on the platform. It was unknown whether the person was made of stone or whether it was the body left behind by the owner of this cave after his death.

In his arms was a long box. The box looked ordinary, but it was still brand new after being battered by the waves for countless years, and it was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary object.

Liu Qianqian slowly walked towards it, but when she was less than ten steps away, that familiar pressure enveloped her again, even more intensely than before.

Um...

This sudden turn of events caused her delicate body to tremble, and she let out a muffled groan.

So this was the real test.

"Hurry up, I can't hold on any longer..."

At this moment, Chen Han was already fighting the corpse beast, gritting his teeth and holding on. Later, he could barely throw a punch, so he started to ram his head against it and smash it with stones.

Liu Qianqian didn't even have the strength to respond. Her face was pale, and she could barely move. She slowly approached the corpse and the box.

When she crossed the cave barrier, it was only three or four steps, but now it was more than twice as long. The difficulty was not just increased many times, but it was practically challenging the limits of her body. If her steel-like bones had not reached even a fraction of perfection, she simply wouldn't have been able to hold on.

At this moment, the people outside the cave were also extremely nervous, and Lu Tianren was sweating profusely with anxiety.

According to his original plan, the two of them should have entered the cave together and each received a piece of the inheritance until it was all distributed. However, he did not expect that there would be this obstacle again and again.

This cannot be blamed on Lu Tianren. After all, the inheritance of immortal cultivators is rare and hard to come by. Many cultivators may not encounter it even once in several lifetimes. How can one gain experience from hearsay?

Chen Yan and Liu Qianqian are only qualified to receive the inheritance; it doesn't mean they will definitely receive it.

These two are not contradictory. In fact, many inheritances not only require the inheritor to have hard indicators such as enlightenment and magical power, but also various additional conditions such as extraordinary temperament, quality, and personality.

Clearly, the additional condition for this inheritance is resilience. The twists and turns are meant to test your perseverance.

The group watched nervously as the woman surnamed Liu slowly approached, her breath caught in their throats, and their hearts pounded in their chests.

Finally, after overcoming countless thoughts of giving up, Liu Qianqian stood before the corpse. The pressure eased considerably, and at that moment, she could finally be considered the true master recognized by this inheritance.

She opened it, and inside were all sorts of things: books, pills, and one or two utensils, none of which she recognized for their purpose.

However, she kept her mission in mind. She took out the storage bag that Su Zhenyue had given her, and then aimed it at one of the items. Five seconds later, the item ignored the laws of physics and turned into a stream of light, which was then absorbed into her.

This is how a storage bag is used by mortals. If one were a celestial master, these items would be stored inside in the blink of an eye with just a wave of their hand.

Of course, you can't suck these in along with the wooden box, otherwise it will affect the spatial restrictions inside. These are Su Zhenyue's exact words to her.

And so, she put each of the heirlooms into her bag.

Outside the cave, although Lu Tianren was a cultivator with keen senses, he couldn't see what Liu Qianqian was doing through the waterfall, otherwise he would have definitely turned against Su Zhenyue on the spot.

They clearly came prepared, with the intention of taking all the heirlooms for themselves.

Lu Tianren's magical power is currently insufficient. If Liu Qianqian takes all the inherited items into her bag and runs away with Su Zhenyue, he will most likely be unable to stop her.

If problems are discovered in advance, some precautions can be taken.

The brilliance of this matter lies in the fact that Lu Tianren couldn't see clearly from across the waterfall.

This was exactly what Su Zhenyue had planned. As mentioned before, she was the first person to discover this inheritance, and her two-year absence was merely to search for a mortal qualified to enter the inheritance, namely Liu Qianqian.

She already knew that the true heirloom was beneath the waterfall, and it was she who suggested the compromise of having the two of them enter the heirloom together to retrieve it some time ago.

Even the lure of cultivating immortality to entice Chen Han to betray her was a plan she had made beforehand, regardless of whether those strange beasts and mechanisms existed or not.

She was certain that Chen Han wouldn't refuse Liu Qianqian, because he had no choice between a dead end and a glimmer of hope.

Chen Han is also a key factor. With Chen Han around, Lu Tianren will feel more confident, but at the same time, he will be less wary. It is precisely because of this less wariness that Lu Tianren will not think that she would go back on her word under such circumstances and take the inheritance for herself.

That extra bit of confidence vanished without a trace when Chen Han betrayed them.

Following the natural flow, with each step interconnected, this series of plans had been in preparation since the day Chen Han approached them.

All the painstaking planning has been for this moment!

"Lu Tianren, you're trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth without even looking at who you're dealing with. You're no match for a fool like you who can't unlock the inheritance and resorts to explosions in a fit of rage..."

Su Zhenyue thought to herself.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened that no one, including Su Zhenyue, could have imagined!
