Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 10: Borrowing the Law Treasure

Finally, it's time to cultivate the Invigorating Body Art.

Now that his body has aged, signs of aging have appeared.

Although the physical age of cultivators is usually younger than their actual age, he is only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Having worked as a farmer for so many years, exposed to wind and sun on a daily basis, and living frugally for a long time, his physical age is actually much older than his actual age, estimated to be around forty-five.

At this moment, his face is dark, with obvious wrinkles and a few strands of white hair at the temples.

Although there is still a hint of handsomeness in his appearance, with distinct features and a strong temperament, the unique aura of a hardworking farmer is fully reflected on his face, making him completely devoid of charm.

He is not very tall, only about seven feet, which is a little over one meter seventy.

His muscles are well-defined, but not very large, more of a lean type.

Although there is a clear sense of strength, it always feels somewhat unhealthy.

Years of bending over and laboring have also caused his back to hunch, making him look much older.

Such a body is somewhat unsightly. Practicing the Invigorating Body Art should be able to improve his physique and make his body younger and more energetic.

The cultivation of the Invigorating Body Art is somewhat similar to earthly Tai Chi or Eight Section Brocade exercises, which involve slow movements.

It is also a bit like yoga, with some movements requiring balance and strict control of breathing rhythm.

However, the difficulty is greater, and its subtlety cannot be compared to ordinary exercises.

The entire technique is divided into eighteen sets of movements, such as the Pouncing Tiger Stance, Shaking Bull Stance, and Flying Sky Stance...

It is not difficult to learn, but it requires some skill to perform.

Chu Ming can fully display his current level of proficiency, but he needs to concentrate on the movements, as any negligence will result in mistakes.

He follows the order and starts with the Pouncing Tiger Stance, gradually squatting down and assuming a horse stance.

His index fingers cross, palms facing down, gradually pushing down.

At the same time, he breathes evenly and feels the movement of muscles and bones throughout his body, mastering the technique of exerting force.

[Invigorating Body Art: Proficiency +1]

After completing the entire movement correctly, his proficiency increases slightly.

He then continues to perform the remaining seventeen movements, with each successful completion increasing his proficiency.

Next, he repeats the process continuously, constantly gaining insights into the latest level and making the movements more proficient and accurate.

Each movement takes about half a minute.

After an hour, Chu Ming is already sweating profusely and his whole body is sore.

He looks at the proficiency panel.

[Invigorating Body Art (Proficiency: 95/500)]

After reaching the proficient level, his movements have become more standardized, but they also require more effort.

As his stamina decreases, his movements gradually become distorted.

If he doesn't perform the movements correctly, the proficiency won't increase significantly.

Only after accumulating a few incorrect movements will the proficiency increase slightly.

"That's about it for today. Let's stop here," he mutters to himself.

Although the Invigorating Body Art can enhance the physical limit, it doesn't immediately show results like other techniques.

It still requires daily practice and sufficient nutritional supplementation to gradually see the effects.

At the moment, besides feeling tired, Chu Ming hasn't noticed any significant changes in his body.

After exhausting his physical strength, he walked straight into the house.

He closed all the doors and windows to prevent the remaining bats from attacking.

Before going to bed, he ate the remaining two taels of Spirit Rice in the pot, replenishing some spiritual energy.

Just in case he encountered any unexpected situations at night, he wouldn't be powerless to resist.

Finally, he lay directly on the bed and fell into a deep sleep within a few breaths, snoring loudly.

Although he was tired today, he had a very fulfilling day and was in a very pleasant mood.

Since transmigrating here, this was the most comfortable night's sleep he had, and he even had a good dream.

The night passed without incident, and he naturally woke up the next day at dawn.

He first went to the cowshed to check on the cows, making sure they were fine, then he opened all the doors and windows.

Then he licked two bags of spiritual bran and a bag of straw into the cow trough.

The cow happily jumped around and then enjoyed its meal.

Chu Ming went back to cook for himself. This time, he took a shortcut and steamed the sliced cured meat and Spirit Rice together in a pot.

Now, besides farming, he only wanted to spend his spare time on improving his strength. He didn't need to be so particular about what he ate, as long as the ingredients were good.

Then he went outside to continue practicing the Swallow Flight Technique, thinking of mastering it.

But as soon as he stepped out, he happened to see a fat old man in a black robe riding a donkey coming towards him from a distance.

This was Old Han, whose real name was Han Da, a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator in his eighties.

He was the steward of the outer sect's farming hall and had been mixing in the sect for most of his life, only managing to obtain such a leisurely position.

He was responsible for collecting the crops of the outer sect farmers and handing them over to the inner sect, as well as keeping records of any shortages.

Old Han was considered one of the few good people among the higher-ups of the outer sect. He was very polite to these spiritual farmers and never took advantage of them. Sometimes, he even helped them voluntarily.

After all, Old Han had also come from being a spiritual farmer and knew the hardships of these low-grade spiritual farmers.

However, he didn't have much power or background, so he couldn't do anything about the protection fees collected from the spiritual farmers.

The original owner and Old Han had a good relationship, having known each other for over ten years.

"Old Han, you're here," Chu Ming greeted with a smile.

Old Han rode his donkey and walked over with a smile, "How's the harvest this time?"

"Last time I passed by here, I took a look and estimated that you could grow more than twenty jin of Spirit Rice on this acre of land."

"The harvest should be good this time, right?"

Chu Ming couldn't tell him the truth, so he could only shake his head and sigh, "Ah, don't mention it, the good harvest belongs to someone else."

Then he told Old Han about the extra Spirit Rice he was forced to give.

After listening, Old Han couldn't help but frown and curse, "Those two bastards, how can they bully people like this? They're not leaving any way out for others."

Then he sighed and shook his head, "Ah, it's a pity that my old bones are useless. I can't help you."

Chu Ming waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, I'll endure it slowly. I'll make it through one day."

"Alright, I'll bring you the Spirit Rice, just wait here."

He returned to the storeroom and gradually carried out the prepared 1,600 jin of Spirit Rice.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that it would be too conspicuous to take a cart to the market to sell the Spirit Rice later.

After all, there were over 2,000 jin of it.

If he ran into Ji Rong and others, it would be even harder to explain.

Coincidentally, Old Han had two storage Law Treasures, one was issued by the sect specifically for the farming hall steward to collect Spirit Rice.

The other one was his own, although the storage space was not large, it was enough to hold over 2,000 jin of Spirit Rice.

Borrowing it wouldn't be refused by Old Han.
