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

Chapter 34: Invigorating Body Art Breakthrough - Transcendent

One month later, in the afternoon, Chu Ming was practicing Invigorating Body Art in the courtyard with his bare arms.

[Invigorating Body Art: Proficiency +1]

[Invigorating Body Art: Proficiency +1]

[Invigorating Body Art: Proficiency +1]

...

[Invigorating Body Art (Perfection: 9954/10000)]

After a month of hard training, his Invigorating Body Art was finally about to break through to the Transcendent Realm.

The changes brought to his body by the perfected Invigorating Body Art were also very obvious.

At this point, his height had reached eight and a half feet, his muscles were full but not bulky, and his physique was perfect and strong.

Compared to before, his strength and physical fitness had increased by more than three times.

His whole body also became younger and more energetic.

He wondered what changes would occur when this technique reached the Transcendent level.

He continued to practice.

...

After practicing dozens of postures, he felt that wonderful feeling of touching the threshold of Transcendence again while practicing the Tiger Wrestling posture.

[Invigorating Body Art: Proficiency +1]

[Invigorating Body Art breaks through Perfection and enters the Transcendent Realm]

[Unlocked entry: Reinforced Iron Bones]

[The defense of your entire body, including internal organs and eyeballs, is greatly enhanced, and the hardness of various parts of your body can be passively increased. The hardness bonus can also be actively removed.]

[As proficiency increases, defense and body hardness will continue to improve.]

Looking at this entry, Chu Ming's eyes were filled with satisfaction and excitement.

Who practicing Body Refining wouldn't want to have a strong and iron-like physique?

Not only could it greatly improve his ability to survive, but it also demonstrated dominance and the ability to withstand enemy attacks.

He tried to perform the Great Completion level Golden Light Slash towards his right arm.

"Ding!"

After a sound of clashing gold and stone, the golden flying knife was deflected, but his arm was unharmed.

Chu Ming thought to himself, indeed, even the Great Completion level Golden Light Slash couldn't cause any damage.

Moreover, this hardening effect was passive and could only be removed by his active intention.

In other words, his body could be soft when needed, but it was usually in a hardened state.

Even if he couldn't avoid being attacked by the enemy, it could greatly reduce the damage he received and greatly improve his ability to survive.

With his current proficiency level of 1 in Invigorating Body Art at the Transcendent Realm, his physical qualities such as strength and physique could still be further improved by about ten times.

However, he still needed to continue practicing and eating to improve. As proficiency increased, the upper limit of improvement would also exceed ten times.

Outside the courtyard at this moment, Junior Sister Xiao Yuying happened to be walking from the direction of the Golden Scale Peak.

Just as she arrived at the entrance and was about to come in, she saw him with his bare arms.

She shyly turned her back.

"Oh, Junior Sister is here." Chu Ming cleaned himself up and put on his clothes.

"Come in, today we should harvest the rice."

Xiao Yuying pushed the door open and handed over a box of snacks.

"Senior Brother, I made these snacks for lunch."

Chu Ming smiled and accepted them, putting them into the snake-skin bag around his waist.

After a month of getting along, the relationship between the two had become much closer, without the previous sense of unfamiliarity.

He would occasionally make jokes and tease his Junior Sister.

Although Junior Sister was busy, she would also make some ordinary sweet snacks to thank him for his guidance.

This was also a kind gesture, and naturally he wouldn't refuse.

However, although they were close, it was only limited to the mutual love between Senior Brother and Junior Sister.

He did not show any extra thoughts towards his Junior Sister, and she tactfully maintained a restrained attitude towards their relationship, without overly intimate behavior.

Then Chu Ming began to guide his Junior Sister in harvesting the rice. This was a relatively simple task, and she quickly learned it.

Of course, it was also related to Chu Ming's skill in teaching at a high level.

Junior Sister's technique gradually became proficient, and even when the two of them worked side by side, she would surpass the lazy Chu Ming and cut ahead.

Chu Ming stood up straight and unconsciously looked at his Junior Sister in front of him to the left.

She was bending over to cut the rice, and her figure was inevitably alluring.

Chu Ming couldn't help but laugh and say, "Junior Sister, when you run ahead of Senior Brother, Senior Brother loses the motivation to work."

"Hmm?" Junior Sister couldn't help but stand up and turn around to look at him, asking in confusion, "Senior Brother, why are you saying this? Did I do something wrong?"

Chu Ming suddenly felt that his words just now were a bit impulsive, and quickly waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing, it's nothing, Senior Brother was just joking."

However, Xiao Yuying immediately understood what he meant after thinking for a moment.

Her face instantly turned red, and she quickly covered herself with both hands, coquettishly saying, "Senior Brother, you..."

Chu Ming forced a laugh and said, "Senior Brother was just joking, trying to liven up the atmosphere. It's boring if no one says anything."

Xiao Yuying's face remained red, and she continued to crouch down and cut the rice.

From time to time, she would daydream, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chu Ming self-mockingly smiled, wondering why he suddenly made such a joke?

He had stirred up his Junior Sister's romantic feelings, and it was not easy to refuse.

He didn't say much either, and changed to another area to harvest.

The two of them quickly finished the work, and Chu Ming also taught Junior Sister the skills of threshing and milling the rice.

Of course, he didn't use the ability to use terms, and only demonstrated it once.

After teaching his Junior Sister, he let her go and handle the ingredients for the upcoming dinner, dismissing her.

Then he doubled the output and put more than half of the Spirit Rice into the space, and took out four bags of Spirit Rice from the space.

This batch of dull Spirit Rice and poisonous Spirit Rice were both grown in the space and had been prepared in advance.

And at this moment, someone outside the courtyard shouted, "Chu Ming, come out and hand over the Spirit Rice."

It was Zhou Junyi's voice, and Chu Ming carried two bags of poisonous Spirit Rice with a smile on his face as he went out to meet him.

Xiao Yuying heard the commotion outside the courtyard and walked to the door of the thatched cottage to take a look.

"Junior Brother Zhou is here. Are you thirsty? Why not come in for a cup of tea?" Chu Ming carried the Spirit Rice and walked over with a smile.

"No need, just give me the Spirit Rice." Zhou Junyi said coldly.

At this moment, he noticed Xiao Yuying standing at the door of the thatched cottage.

After sizing her up, he sneered at Chu Ming and said, "Is this the woman you found? Not bad, she's quite compatible with you."

Chu Ming smiled and said, "No, no, Junior Brother Zhou misunderstood. She's just my junior sister who came to learn Spirit Rice cultivation from me."

"If we're talking about compatibility, it should be Junior Brother Zhou and your junior sister."

He couldn't help but wonder if the woman had eaten the poisonous Spirit Rice, and if she had secretly found another man.

If she did, then she and Zhou Junyi would be quite compatible.

Zhou Junyi didn't say much, thinking that Chu Ming was just flattering him, so he took the Spirit Rice and left.

After he left, Xiao Yuying walked over and asked, "Senior Brother, is that the person who collects your Spirit Rice?"

"Why did he take so much at once?"

Chu Ming laughed at himself and said, "Ah, it's because I grew too much."

"It's so hard being a Spirit Farmer."

Xiao Yuying, rare with a hint of anger, clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, "It's really too much. If all that Spirit Rice was left for Senior Brother, he might have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining by now."

Chu Ming saw his junior sister standing up for him and felt quite touched. The distance between him and his junior sister in his heart had become closer.

But the main reason he hadn't reached the fifth level of Qi Refining was that his proficiency in the Five Elements Art was not enough. He needed to break through to Small Completion to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining.

It had nothing to do with the Spirit Rice, and he didn't feel any heartache at all.

Moreover, the Spirit Rice he sent out was poisonous, so the more he sent, the more relieved he felt.

He then smiled and asked, "Does my junior sister still plan to be a Spirit Farmer now?"

"With your strength, I'm afraid you'll end up like me in the future, being bullied like this."

Xiao Yuying couldn't help but lower her head in disappointment, "Although that's true, it's still better than being a menial worker in the pharmacy at the Golden Scale Peak like before."

"At least I can earn more resources."

"But I still haven't learned the Cloud Rain Technique and the Acceleration Technique, so I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to be a Spirit Farmer."

Chu Ming asked again, "If you can't become a Spirit Farmer in the future, what are your plans?"

Xiao Yuying shook her head, "I'm not sure. Maybe I'll have to go back to being a menial worker."

"Master Han might continue to arrange a marriage for me and find me a husband."

"But if that's the case, I probably won't have any hope of continuing my cultivation. My life will just come to an end."

"Maybe I'm just an ordinary person with spiritual roots, not suitable for cultivating immortality."

Looking at the disappointed look on his junior sister's face, Chu Ming could also feel her longing for cultivation.

After all, being able to live forever and become stronger, who wouldn't want to continue cultivating?

Unfortunately, most people couldn't see any hope.

His junior sister hadn't made much progress in the past month, so naturally, she was filled with confusion.

He smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, Senior Brother will help you. Just keep working hard."

Xiao Yuying looked at Chu Ming, her voice choked with emotion, "Senior Brother, you've been so good to me."

"In the future, regardless of whether I can succeed in my studies or not, I will find a way to repay Senior Brother."

...

On the other side, Zhou Junyi was eagerly heading towards Golden Scale Lake, where his junior sister should be waiting for him.

Arriving at the edge of Golden Scale Lake, he searched around and finally found his junior sister's figure, but she was alone.

However, his junior sister's face was a little red, and he didn't know why.

He immediately ran over, "Junior Sister, I'm here."

Chen Xiaoman, upon seeing him, immediately threw herself into his arms.

"Senior Brother, I...missed you so much. Let's find an inn quickly."

Zhou Junyi smiled and said, "Junior Sister, why are you so impatient? Didn't we agree to go fishing for Spirit Fish today?"

Chen Xiaoman blushed and shook her head, "I just missed Senior Brother."

Zhou Junyi touched her cheek, "It's so hot, what's wrong with you? Are you running a fever?"

"No, I'm just feeling a little heated. Senior Brother, let's go quickly, I've missed you for a long time," Chen Xiaoman said anxiously.

Zhou Junyi was about to nod, but at that moment, a short cultivator in a white Daoist robe ran over, "Senior Brother Zhou, I finally found you."

Seeing that it was his fellow disciple, Zhou Junyi asked, "What's wrong, Junior Brother Ma?"

"There's suddenly a demonic presence in the stone forest to the east. Senior Uncle Zhao arranged for us to go and eliminate it tonight," Junior Brother Ma said anxiously.

Zhou Junyi frowned, "What a disappointment. I finally got to be with my junior sister for a day."

"Senior Brother, can't you stay?" Chen Xiaoman quickly asked.

Zhou Junyi sighed, "The sect mission is important. Junior Sister, please bear with it for a month."

"If love between two people is meant to be, it will endure beyond the daily grind," he said.

"But I..." Chen Xiaoman said hesitantly.

Zhou Junyi shook his head, "Junior Sister, endure it for a while. Didn't I wait for you for two months before?"

"I, as a man, endured it, so it should be even easier for you as a woman."

"The sect mission is important, and Master specifically asked me to go," he continued.

"If I don't go, Master will definitely be angry, and I won't be able to stay in the sect anymore."

Saying that, he stuffed two large bags of Spirit Rice and some resources into Chen Xiaoman's hands.

And he instructed, "Junior Sister, if you get heated, you can buy some medicine to cool down. Take care of yourself. We'll see each other next month. Wait for me."

Then he hurriedly left with Junior Brother Ma, heading towards the Holy Void Peak.

"Senior Brother..." Chen Xiaoman muttered in frustration.

Lately, she didn't know why, but she suddenly had an intense desire for dual cultivation, and the situation was getting worse.

Even her senior uncle, who was knowledgeable in medicine, couldn't find any problems.

She felt embarrassed to explain her situation to others, so she suppressed the impulse with her spiritual energy, hoping that meeting with her senior brother would solve the problem.

But unexpectedly, her senior brother suddenly had something come up. How would she spend the next month, as she was gradually losing control?
