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

Chapter 26: Ji Rong's Complaints

Eight days later, in the Dragon Head Stick Space, Chu Ming was eating a table full of food in the small bamboo house.

There were Spirit Fish, Demonic Beast meat, and spirit wine.

Life was really comfortable.

But suddenly, after hearing a long cow moo, he quickly exited the Dragon Head Stick Space and returned to the thatched house.

According to the previous agreement with Niu Ge, this kind of call should mean that dangerous individuals like Ji Rong or Zhou Junyi had arrived.

He walked out of the house and didn't see anyone at first. He casually practiced the Invigorating Body Art.

Now that the Invigorating Body Art had reached Great Completion, and he ate meat and body-strengthening pills every day, his physical fitness had improved once again.

He was nearly eight feet tall, and his muscles had grown by another circle, but he didn't look bloated.

His overall image and temperament had also improved, and he looked much younger, like a young man in his late twenties.

As he continued to practice, he gradually saw Ji Rong's figure walking towards him from the bamboo forest.

Compared to his usual smiling and confident appearance, Ji Rong's face now looked tired and gloomy.

Chu Ming, as usual, walked up to the fence with a smile and greeted, "Senior Ji, come in and have a cup of tea."

Ji Rong walked over and waved his hand weakly, saying, "No, I just happened to pass by, not in the mood."

Chu Ming asked with some confusion, "Senior Ji, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Damn it, don't mention it," Ji Rong cursed, "My nephew was killed by someone, and even his ashes were scattered."

"What?" Chu Ming pretended to be shocked, "How could such a thing happen? Who could be so vicious?"

"Has the murderer been caught? Are there any clues?"

Ji Rong snorted angrily, "Not caught, there are absolutely no clues!"

"Damn it, that person is definitely a master. My nephew was a Qi Refining fifth layer expert, yet he was killed without leaving a trace."

"And at that time, my nephew was on the mountain near the village, and there were no suspicious people passing by the village. I have no idea how to investigate."

"I don't know if it was done by someone from the city or the sect."

"Maybe after killing and destroying the body, they returned to the city or the sect."

Chu Ming supported his chin and analyzed with some worry, "In that case, there might be a Rogue Cultivator appearing in the city again."

"Oh, it seems that I have to be more careful when I go out in the future. I can't afford to encounter such a powerful person."

"If even a Qi Refining fifth layer expert can be easily killed, I, at the Qi Refining third layer, am even less of an opponent."

Ji Rong turned his head and said with a displeased expression, "It's not a Rogue Cultivator, just an ordinary passerby."

"My nephew was the Rogue Cultivator."

"What?" Chu Ming was shocked, "Senior Ji's nephew is a Rogue Cultivator? Is there something hidden?"

"But even if he is a Rogue Cultivator, it's too excessive to kill people so easily. What kind of grudge is this?"

Ji Rong waved his hand, "You don't need to speak up for him. That idiot. I led a team to exterminate the Rogue Cultivators on Xishan Road, and he picked up this business."

"That's right, it's clearly his own fault, but my eldest and third brother keep complaining to my second brother. The three of them argue all day long, and it gives me a headache."

"In these past few days, there have been a lot of sect affairs, so I'm so annoyed. It's too troublesome."

Chu Ming hurriedly comforted, "Senior Brother, don't worry, everything will pass."

Ji Rong glanced at him, sneering, "You kid, you say nice things but are you secretly happy in your heart when you see me in such a miserable state?"

Chu Ming forced a smile and quickly denied, "How could that be? Senior Brother often lends me Spirit Rice, and he has helped me a lot."

"Especially this Invigorating Body Art, it suits me well. In just a few days, I have reached Great Completion."

"My strength has increased a lot, and I look much younger."

"I have always hoped to have a good relationship with Senior Brother, so that I can have someone to support me in the sect."

"If Senior Brother can leave me more Spirit Rice in the future, I will be even more grateful."

Hearing him say this, Ji Rong didn't think much of it.

This kid has always been honest, and he probably really thinks that way.

He continued, "Alright, I won't hold you to it."

"As for the Spirit Rice, you should cultivate it well. I will borrow 300 kilograms from you in the future, and I won't ask for more."

Chu Ming repeatedly agreed, and then sent away this troublemaker.

Watching his departing figure, he couldn't help but smile.

Knowing that Ji Rong has been having a hard time recently while he himself is living comfortably, he felt even more at ease.

And this is just the beginning. Once he receives Ji Rong's Spirit Rice, his days will become even more difficult.

Just as he was about to go back to continue eating, Old Han rode over on a donkey.

It had been more than ten days since they last met, and his appearance had changed a lot. He had also reached the third level of Qi Refining.

When Old Han reached the door, he almost didn't recognize him.

"You are... A Ming?"

Chu Ming smiled, "Who else could it be if not me?"

"I broke through to the third level of Qi Refining some time ago, and recently I reached Great Completion in a Body Refining technique. I look much younger now."

Old Han praised with a smile, "Good, congratulations. It's already impressive for someone your age to reach the third level of Qi Refining, much stronger than me."

Chu Ming waved his hand, "Ah, there's not much difference compared to before. Foundation Building is still a distant dream."

"By the way, what brings you here this time? Do you want to drink with me?"

Old Han shook his head slightly, "I'm here to discuss something important."

"I don't know if you've heard, but our Divine Will Sect now has a high-yield Low Grade Spirit Rice seed."

Chu Ming thought for a moment and nodded, "I've heard someone mention it, but I don't really care about such things. The Spirit Rice I grow doesn't belong to me anyway."

Old Han smiled, "Because this seed is precious, the higher-ups are planning to set up three Dao Sect formations in the outer sect to prevent leaks."

"After some planning, it was found that the stone forest in the east is causing some trouble, so some areas need to be rearranged. In the process, we can also reclaim an additional five hundred acres of spiritual fields."

"So the sect has issued a task, which is to cultivate a group of excellent spiritual farming disciples before the beginning of next spring."

"This task is for you old folks. If you cultivate a qualified disciple, you can receive thirty Low Grade spirit stones."

Chu Ming thought for a moment and said, "The task is quite good, but I have gained some insights in my recent cultivation and I want to focus on practicing for a while."

"Maybe I can only take one or two people."

Old Han smiled, "That's fine. I'll find a junior sister for you."

"You're not young anymore. Since you think Foundation Building is hopeless, why not settle down and start a family and career early?"

"Don't end up like me, realizing after practicing for half a lifetime that you can't even find a suitable woman."

"Coincidentally, you broke through to the third level of Qi Refining and you look much younger. I can introduce you to someone with good conditions."
