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

Chapter 55: Like Brothers

Chu Ming shook his head, "No, it's not that there aren't suitable ones, there are just too many."

Although Ji Rong brought many secret manuals this time, they were all perception-based cultivation techniques, and there were no other types.

However, he had just found a manual called "Marvelous Sensation Technique," which was simple and easy to learn, and could comprehensively enhance one's perception ability.

If one had already mastered divine sense perception and cultivated it to perfection, this technique could further enhance the perception of divine sense.

Although the improvement in various perceptions was not significant, it was comprehensive enough.

Just by cultivating this technique, one could enhance all perception abilities.

As for the secret manuals like "Extreme Vision Technique" and "Cloud Ear Technique," which could only enhance one specific type of perception, he naturally had no need to learn them.

So, despite Ji Rong bringing such a large box of secret manuals, there was only one that was useful to him.

He continued, "Next time, bring more secret manuals of other types, such as sword techniques, talisman making, and pill refining."

"They should all be the simplest ones, and the more variety, the better."

Ji Rong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. So that was what he meant.

"Alright, alright, no problem. Senior brother, I will prepare more for you next time, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Chu Ming didn't mind either and put the wooden box and secret manuals into his bag.

"Senior brother, do you have anything else? If not, I won't stay any longer. I'm quite busy right now."

Seeing that Chu Ming had given him the signal to leave, Ji Rong didn't stay any longer.

The junior disciple he had made an appointment with should be near the mountain gate by now.

He wanted to invite this person to be the mediator between him and Chu Ming, to help resolve their conflicts.

Ji Rong respectfully bid farewell and left, and Chu Ming didn't pay much attention to him either, returning to his room.

He saw his junior sister open her eyes with a happy expression and sit up from the bed. "Senior brother, I've broken through to the third level of Qi Refining."

She happily rushed over and hugged Chu Ming.

Chu Ming held her face in his hands and noticed that her eyes were bright, her skin even whiter and more tender, and she looked even more beautiful, with a hint of ethereal charm.

Indeed, she had broken through to the third level of Qi Refining.

"We'll go to the market later in the afternoon, and senior brother will buy you some pills." Chu Ming smiled gently.

Xiao Yuying nodded and asked, "Senior brother, does that Ji Rong mean that he won't collect Spirit Rice from us anymore?"

Chu Ming smiled and nodded slightly, "Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to collect it anymore. From now on, the income from Spirit Rice will be your pocket money."

"I have to say, junior sister, you're really lucky. This batch of Spirit Rice is the first one you planted by yourself, and you didn't have to give away a single grain."

Xiao Yuying smiled happily, "That's all thanks to following senior brother. I wouldn't be able to enjoy this fortune on my own."

"But senior brother, the cultivation resources should still be prioritized for you. I'll take it slow, no need for pocket money."

Chu Ming smiled and hugged his junior sister, feeling content.

His junior sister was truly a rare good woman. They could live together in poverty and prosperity.

She was obedient, sensible, gentle, and considerate.

Looking at his delicate and beautiful junior sister, Chu Ming couldn't help but pull her into the room and have an intimate moment.

...

After lunch, just as Chu Ming was about to enter his room to cultivate, he heard a voice coming from the north through his perception of plants.

"Junior Brother Song, I'm counting on you this time."

"Senior Brother Ji, don't worry. You've taken care of me since the outer sect, so if you have any trouble, I will naturally help you solve it."

Chu Ming shifted his perspective and saw Ji Rong walking towards him with a young male cultivator who had a refined appearance.

Judging from the young cultivator's attire, he should be an inner sect disciple.

But he looked somewhat familiar, as if he had also been in the outer sect before.

Is this the person Ji Rong brought to support him?

Chu Ming pondered for a moment and asked his junior sister to stay in the inner room and not make a sound.

He then put the protective jade in his arms and walked out of the courtyard, forging a sword while waiting.

Although the possibility of the other party attacking was not high, he still remained vigilant, just in case.

The other party should at least have the strength of Foundation Building. With his current defense, if he were to take a blow head-on, even if he didn't die, he would lose his ability to move.

Before long, Ji Rong brought the male cultivator to the courtyard.

Ji Rong waved with a smile on his face and said, "Chu Junior Brother, after I mentioned you to Song Yu Junior Brother, he insisted on coming to visit. I hope you don't mind?"

The male cultivator bowed and politely smiled, "Chu Junior Brother, I am Song Yu. We had some encounters when I was an outer disciple of the Spirit Farmer sect. I wonder if Junior Brother still remembers?"

Chu Ming pretended to suddenly remember and said, "Oh, it's Senior Brother Song. I remember now. Please come in, please come in."

He led the two of them to sit at the stone table in the courtyard and brought out tea and snacks from the house.

The three of them sat down, and Song Yu praised Chu Ming.

"Junior Brother, I heard from Ji Senior Brother that you reached the Small Completion stage of the Five Elements Art in just a few months and broke through the sixth level of Qi Refining."

"At first, I didn't believe it, but now I have to believe it with my own eyes."

"Junior Brother, you truly have extraordinary talent and will achieve greatness in the future."

"It took me eight years to enter the inner sect, which was considered good talent."

"But compared to Junior Brother, I am truly ashamed."

"I believe Junior Brother won't take much time to enter the inner sect. When that happens, I, as a small cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Building, will rely on your guidance."

With enthusiastic praise, the other party showed plenty of goodwill.

Chu Ming thought that this person shouldn't be here to cause trouble; he probably wanted to mediate.

He modestly said, "Not at all, it's just luck. I don't have any idea how to continue improving."

Song Yu smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you're being modest. With your talent, entering the inner sect is only a matter of time."

"If you need anything, just contact me. Senior Brother will do everything possible to help you."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and finally, Song Yu brought up the main topic.

"Junior Brother, as they say, it's better to resolve conflicts with enemies than to make enemies."

"I heard from Ji Senior Brother about the conflict between you two, and he is now willing to resolve it. What do you think?"

"Ji Senior Brother has already agreed to compensate you double for your previous losses."

"You are currently in need of cultivation resources, and even if you have the Sword Forging Technique at the Great Completion stage, the spiritual stones you earn each month will not be enough for future consumption."

"I suggest we turn our swords into plowshares. Besides, with Ji Senior Brother's talent, entering the inner sect in the future is a sure thing."

"Today, let's turn enemies into friends. In the inner sect, the two of you can live in harmony and even help each other."

Ji Rong also quickly apologized, "Junior Brother, I did indeed do wrong before. I will definitely compensate you for your losses."

"Let me offer you tea as an apology."

After speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Chu Ming sneered inwardly, then waved his hand as if he didn't care, and said, "Hey, what are you two talking about, Senior Brother Song?"

"The relationship between me and Senior Brother Ji is not what you think."

"Although he borrowed Spirit Rice from me, he has also helped me a lot."

"We have a good relationship, you could say we are like brothers, right, Senior Brother Ji?"

As he spoke, he patted Ji Rong on the shoulder.

The force was not small, but it was within Ji Rong's tolerance, and Chu Ming didn't intentionally use much force.

However, he happened to hit the wound on Ji Rong's shoulder.

The wound immediately split open, causing Ji Rong to grimace in pain.
