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

"Now, all that's missing is a martial arts technique."

Chen Han now only has the Soul-Sweeping Heaven-Supporting Skill and the Mountain-Breaking Fist. The Soul-Sweeping Heaven-Supporting Skill is a body-refining technique, and the materials and items required to refine it are not available in the secular world. The Mountain-Breaking Fist is a third-rate martial art, and at most, one can only be trained to the level of a martial artist. If one wants to break through to the level of a martial master, one must learn another martial art.

Although Chen Han is now a Martial Venerable, the martial arts he practices are only third-rate. The fastest way to improve his strength is obvious.

"I am too weak to fight back against cultivators. If I were to enter the cultivation world rashly, and given that I possess so many spirit stones, I would surely be coveted. I would be lucky if they took my wealth, but I am afraid of encountering evil cultivators."

Evil cultivators are a type of people that Chen Han learned about from the inheritance. They cultivate evil arts and do all kinds of evil to achieve their goals, killing people without hesitation. They even have extremely terrifying methods such as extracting souls and refining spirits.

He only has one life, and it hasn't been easy for him to get to where he is today. Chen Han dares not be careless in the slightest.

"The Imperial City is the most developed city in the Chu Kingdom, where martial arts flourish. It is the legendary land of dragon's fortune, a true place where hidden talents reside."

"This is undoubtedly the best place for me to realize my ambitions and enhance my strength!"

.....

About two weeks later, under the bright sunshine and crisp autumn air, the gates of the imperial city opened, and countless caravans and carriages came and went.

Among them are people who are agile and experienced, making a living by hunting and gathering herbs.

They wore straw sandals, their clothes were tattered, and they lived in poverty; they were all burly men with red faces.

But in recent days, a new young man has joined these people. He has an ugly face, covered with scabs from burns, and even his arms and legs have a lot of them. People would avoid him with disgust as soon as they see him.

This person was Chen Han.

At this moment, he was carrying a wild rabbit in one hand, while the other hand was idle, occasionally adjusting his loose belt.

At this moment, Chen Han was wearing straw sandals and a tattered straw hat, and the few tattered strips of cloth could not hide his ugly face at all.

Chen Han followed several colleagues to a spot where they were selling their wares. He found a relatively flat spot, sat down, placed the wild rabbit in front of him, and began to sell it to passersby with a forced smile.

"Oh my, you're quite frightening to look at."

After a while, a man dressed as a servant took a liking to the wild rabbit that Chen Han was selling. He stepped forward and asked the price. After seeing Chen Han clearly, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehehe, buddy, look at this! It's freshly caught, you definitely won't regret buying it..."

Chen Han didn't care at all. Instead, he grinned and picked up the rabbit to show it to the visitor.

"Hmm...it's quite fresh. How much is it?"

"Hehe, it's not expensive at all, just this price."

As he spoke, Chen Han held up four fingers.

"Hmm, forty coins is a bit expensive, but you seem to have it tough... so forty coins it is."

The man took out some coins and handed them to Chen Han. Chen Han thanked him repeatedly, his smile widening, and quickly made change.

"Thank you, brother. With such a kind heart, you will surely live to be a hundred years old."

After the man left, a vendor next to Chen Han, who also sold wild game, said in surprise, "You've learned pretty quickly."

This young man was the first person Chen Han met after arriving in the capital, and it was also this man who introduced him to the profession of hunting.

As for why Chen Han ended up in such a miserable state, the reason becomes clear after a little thought.

Because Chen Han didn't know whether Lu Tianren and the woman surnamed Su had died on Eagle Falcon Mountain, he dared not reveal himself.

He had seriously offended those two. If they were still alive, they would probably skin him alive and never be able to eat or sleep properly.

It's hard to say that they've already issued secret orders everywhere to find him.

He only has one life, so he can't be too careful. He won't easily reveal his true colors until this hidden danger is eliminated.

Therefore, becoming an unnoticed hunter became his best option. There were other decent jobs available, but Chen Han was now a vagrant, and no one dared to hire him.

To escape the status of a vagrant, one had to report one's identity to the government and have it recorded.

What is Chen Han's current status? How dare he do it?

Cultivators have immense influence and connections in the mortal world, and even royalty dares not underestimate them. Chen Han must always be cautious.

"Haha, that's for sure."

Chen Han laughed heartily, appearing quite generous.

"Okay, you may be a bit ugly, but you're quick-witted. From now on, you'll work for me. I'll guarantee you'll have food to eat every day, you won't go hungry. How about it?"

The young man had the air of someone in a high position.

His name was Li Gao. He lost both his parents at a young age and lived alone with no one to care for.

Chen Han smiled calmly to himself, not caring at all.

In reality, he doesn't care about his current impoverished situation at all. Let him be looked down upon or disliked; why should he care about such trivial matters? It won't cost him anything.

Having experienced so much, Chen Han's temperament has undergone a complete transformation, becoming more mature, reserved, and indifferent to worldly affairs.

What does pride matter as long as I can become stronger...

"Alright, then I'll work for you from now on, Brother Li."

On the surface, he still appears to be a clueless and ignorant person.

"That's right!"

Li Gao laughed.

At this moment, a rough-looking man came up to Chen Han and looked at him with surprise. "A new face, huh? He's really ugly."

Then, his gaze turned fierce, and he said menacingly, "Who gave you permission to do this kind of shopping? Don't you know the rules?!"

"Master Ma, Master Ma, hehehehe, this is a new recruit I brought in yesterday. He only started doing business today, so he doesn't know any of the rules."

Li Gao stood up at this moment, smiling obsequiously, looking ingratiating, and humbly put ten coins into the man's hand.

"Huh? You're the one who brought him?"

"It was me, it was me. It was getting late yesterday, and I was afraid of disturbing you, Master Ma, so I didn't come to let this dark-faced man get acquainted with you."

The man, referred to as Master Ma, weighed the money in his hand and showed a satisfied expression. "Is that so... but I'm afraid these few coins aren't enough. Let's not even talk about the incense money; the stall fee alone costs a hundred coins a month."

"Master Ma, you know that Black Lion City was destroyed a while ago, and a lot of people fled here. Brother Chen was one of them. The wilderness is so vast, and Coco walked for three or four months. It's a miracle he's still alive, let alone having any money."

Master Ma's expression remained perfectly composed, almost as if he were deliberately putting on an act. His anger subsided, and he looked at Chen Han with surprise. "You dark-faced fellow are quite something, managing to cross the wilderness to get here. Tsk tsk tsk, not simple, not simple at all..."

The wilderness is a forbidden zone for life. Even the martial arts masters in the city dare not venture there easily. Most of the people who flee here are from families, nobles, and martial arts forces. Ordinary people like this, who are weak and alone, are extremely rare. They are either incredibly lucky or the most ruthless of the ruthless!

"Well, fine. I see you've had a tough time. Just pay when you have the money. There's no need to rush."

He doesn't care about people who are lucky, but he would never dare to offend a ruthless person.
