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

Chapter 54: Two-Level Reversal (Seeking to Catch Up)

On the other side, Ji Rong was walking on the road, his face filled with worry.

Damn it, things have really been going downhill recently.

First, the conflicts at home have escalated.

Apart from Gui'er, the other wives and children at home have also gradually shown symptoms of slow reaction and confusion.

And only then did he realize that he had the same symptoms as them. The whole family was actually falling ill.

He and his family investigated, but found no problems with the food and water sources.

They went to the highly skilled senior brother in the sect to seek medical treatment, but he couldn't find anything wrong. The whole family was physically and mentally fine.

They also didn't find any presence of evil spirits or cursed objects, and couldn't find anyone who would harm them.

This is really strange. How did this illness come about?

And just three days ago, Second Madam speculated that Gui'er had infected them with this illness.

Because he was the first to get sick, while the others were still fine at that time.

However, when she said this in public, Third Madam immediately got angry, and they had a big fight.

Madam and several other children also joined in, accusing Third Madam and also believing that Gui'er had infected them.

In the end, they even started fighting, and the furniture in the house was smashed to pieces.

Even when he was at home, he couldn't avoid getting into arguments. Life has really become more and more miserable.

And recently, he has been making frequent mistakes in the sect, committing various low-level errors.

Especially yesterday, there was a big commotion over at Shilin.

After a collapse in the ground, a group of evil spirits emerged, all of them with considerable strength. They killed several law enforcement disciples and laborers on the spot.

Some of the troublemaking laborers took advantage of the chaos and escaped, including that kid Zhou Junyi.

It seems that he was possessed by a powerful evil spirit, and his strength increased dramatically. He even injured him while escaping.

He still has a large rotting wound on his right shoulder, and even after taking medicine, it hasn't improved much. It can only be slowly treated.

The elder of the outer sect has been displeased with him for a long time, and after last night's incident, he scolded him even more harshly.

If it weren't for his tearful pleading, his position as an outer sect law enforcement disciple would have been terminated.

As for his own cultivation, it has been stagnant.

After all, his mind is confused, and his comprehension has been greatly affected. He has been unable to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Now he really feels that life is extremely difficult, and he can't see any hope in his life.

At this moment, he has already arrived near Chu Ming's small courtyard.

Somehow, he now has some resistance to going to Chu Ming's house.

In the past, he was thriving and walked with confidence.

Chu Ming was just a insignificant spirit farmer, and he had to greet him with a smile when he handed over the Spirit Rice.

But now he has become like this, while Chu Ming is gradually rising. The situation between the two has completely reversed.

Could it be that Chu Ming has made another breakthrough?

If that's the case, he must find a way to resolve the conflict with Chu Ming, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Standing outside Chu Ming's courtyard gate, Ji Rong looked at Chu Ming who was hammering iron, feeling a bit dazed.

Chu Ming at this moment is tall and strong, with a muscular body, handsome and tough-looking, with extraordinary bearing.

It's really a far cry from the middle-aged spirit farmer with a hunched figure and dark skin from before.

In just a few months, I really didn't expect Chu Ming to undergo such a big change.

Chu Ming raised his head slightly and saw Ji Rong outside the gate.

He walked over with a smile, "Oh, Senior Brother Ji has come?"

"Why did you come so early today? I haven't finished pounding the Spirit Rice yet."

As Chu Ming approached, Ji Rong saw that his eyes were even brighter and more spirited.

After he approached, he sensed with his spiritual consciousness and indeed, Chu Ming had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Ji Rong took a deep breath, damn it, what's gotten into this guy? How did he break through again?

Is he really a late bloomer?

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Hey, junior brother, you misunderstood. I didn't come to borrow Spirit Rice from you."

"Isn't Zhou Junyi gone? No one is sharing the Spirit Rice in this area with me."

"I can borrow from a few other spirit farmers, it's enough, no need to borrow from you."

"It's not easy for you to cultivate, how can I keep bothering you?"

Chu Ming chuckled inwardly, no wonder he came early, turns out he didn't plan on accepting.

Of course, it's also possible that he sensed his own strength and changed his mind in advance.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Hey, senior brother, what are you talking about? Aren't we all brothers?"

"Besides, I've been practicing the Sword Forging Technique you gave me recently, and I've made some spiritual stones, enough for my cultivation."

Ji Rong was secretly shocked. Although the Sword Forging Technique was just an ordinary technique for crafting tools, it wasn't difficult. Most people could learn it to a proficient level with a little practice.

But earning spiritual stones was not easy, especially if he said it was enough, then he must be earning at least two to three hundred spiritual stones a month.

From this perspective, his Sword Forging Technique was at least at the Great Completion level.

With just this skill, he could earn enough cultivation resources.

With his talent, he would probably be able to enter the inner sect in a few years.

And he himself might never break through the ninth level of Qi Refining in his lifetime, and would be regarded as a disciple without talent, no longer receiving the sect's protection.

At that time, he would have to find an opportunity to settle the score and seek revenge...

Thinking of this, Ji Rong shivered. He had to quickly improve their relationship!

"Oh, junior brother, you're really talented in many areas. You even learned the Sword Forging Technique."

"Oh, it seems like you've broken through again, to the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

"Wow, junior brother, your talent is probably unmatched by some inner sect disciples."

"I think in a few more years, you'll be qualified to cultivate in the inner sect. I might even fall behind you, senior brother."

"By the way, you probably don't know many people in the inner sect, right? How about I introduce a senior brother to you in advance?"

Ji Rong appeared enthusiastic, like a helpful older brother.

Chu Ming felt disdain in his heart and smiled, "There's no need, I haven't made up my mind about joining the inner sect yet."

"By the way, forget about the rest, did you bring the manual I asked you to find for me last time?"

He spoke with less politeness, but Ji Rong still wore a smiling face and said, "Of course I brought it. Junior brother, I naturally remember the favor you asked of me."

He took out a delicate large wooden box from his storage ring. It looked heavy, but he lifted it effortlessly.

After opening it, over a hundred manuals were neatly arranged inside, each one clean and as good as new.

This attitude was completely different from when he used a sack to store the manuals before.

Chu Ming sneered inwardly and also realized that Ji Rong was trying to please him.

But was it effective? Did he really think that the enmity between them could be resolved so easily?

Chu Ming took the box, placed it on the ground, and started flipping through the manuals one by one.

As he read, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Tsk, sigh..."

Seeing Chu Ming's displeased expression, Ji Rong inexplicably felt a little nervous after a moment of realization.

After he reacted, he even felt a bit embarrassed.

He couldn't believe that he, who used to be so imposing, had fallen to the point of trying to please even a spirit farmer, afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied.

How embarrassing...

He pretended to be calm and asked, "Hey, what's wrong, junior brother? Couldn't find a suitable manual?"
