"No, this plan is not reliable," Hui Ying rejected his plan just after hearing it.
"Why?" Ye Jingyi heard her rejection and asked this question.
"Because the forbidden land is filled with dangerous beasts. If you try to escape, you will encounter many strong beasts and get killed," Hui Ying looked at him and seriously explained.
"But we didn't encounter any beasts when we came here," Ye Jingyi said. The reason why he suggested this plan is that they didn't encounter any danger while coming to this place. Otherwise, he would not be so stupid to propose a dangerous plan.
"That's because this is a relatively safe place inside the Forbidden land. Because spiritual energy here is scarce and resources have been depleted, that's the reason why other beasts escaped from this place and only weak beasts live here," Hui Ying shook her head and explained. Hearing her words, the Bald Bear was hurt. Weak? Not again…!
"Hey, can you tell me what exactly is this cultivation? And what is the spiritual energy you mentioned?" Ye Jingyi finally couldn't help but ask this question after hearing her.
He felt that if he couldn't answer these questions, they would be stuck here.
"You don't know?" Hui Ying showed an incredulous expression as she heard him. The owner of the Divine body doesn't know what cultivation is? What a joke!
The Bear also had a weird expression, but he remembered the questions this guy asked him when he caught him for the first time. From his questions, he felt that he is truly ignorant about these things...
"No, I don't know anything about it," Ye Jingyi shook his head and answered.
Hui Ying looked at him with an uncertain expression and then sighed, "Fine! I will tell you about cultivation."
"The so-called cultivation is making yourself stronger by absorbing the essence present in heaven and earth. These essences are called spiritual energy in the cultivation world."
"A normal human needs to absorb the spiritual energy and temper their own body to create a perfect vessel for energy storage. This stage is called the Body Transformation Realm."
"After the Body Transformation Realm, we don't immediately start storing the heaven and earth spiritual energy in our body but with the perfect vessel, we extract the essence."
"Although our body becomes strong after the Body Transformation Realm, it's rigid. If you try to store spiritual energy at this stage, there is a chance that your body would crack. That's why it's necessary to make it more flexible. To make it more flexible, we use the essence of the body to make the rigid body more elastic."
"Then comes the Qi Condensation realm. At this stage, you absorb, gather, and store spiritual energy in your body."
"These three are foundation stages for cultivation. The more solid your foundation stages are, the higher your cultivation would progress in the future."
"There are more cultivation stages, but I would not tell you about them now. For now, these should be enough." Hui Ying explained the first three stages of the Cultivation Realm.
Ye Jingyi was silent as he heard her. He was processing all the information said by Hui Ying.
In the end, he was silent for a while then he asked, "So what's the purpose of cultivation? Just some strength?"
"If you talk about purpose, there are many. For example, protect yourself in this cruel world. Have a higher status in society, but these are not the supreme purpose of Cultivation," Hui Ying looked at him and said, "The supreme purpose is one word - Longevity!"
"Longevity?" Ye Jingyi narrowed his eyes and asked. He has a faint guess about it, but he wanted to hear the answer from Hui Ying.
"Yes, Longevity! After cultivating Qi Condensation Realm, your lifespan will start to increase. A Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator can live up to 200 years if he did not encounter any accident in the middle."
"A Foundation Realm Cultivator can live up to 500 years. A Core Formation Realm Cultivator can live up to 1000 years. The higher your cultivation is, the longer your lifespan will be." Hui Ying said it slowly.
Her every word was like a clap of thunder in Ye Jingyi's mind.
It turns out this is the benefit of Cultivation! My God, what type of universe is this?
What are the most important things in the world? Position? No! Wealth? No! Power? No!
It's lifespan! Lifespan is like a big ax hanging above the head of everyone. Even those people with superpowers are no exception.
The longer people live, the more they are afraid of death. Those old guys in the federation thus pooled a huge amount of money to research life extension.
After years of research and spending an unimaginable amount of money, there were results. Humans were able to extend their lifespan, but 300 years is the limit!
They couldn't break past this barrier no matter what method they tried. So according to the federation statement, 300 years is the limit of human lifespan.
But now he heard that there is a way to break past those limits. So how can he remain calm?
For a researcher like him, the most interesting research is about human lifespan and ways to break past the limit.
So after hearing her, Ye Jingyi decided to cultivate. He wants to find the reasons for life extensions that occur due to cultivation.
"Hui Ying! Teach me how to cultivate!" Ye Jingyi looked at Hui Ying and said excitedly. In this universe, he only knows two people, Hui Ying, and the Bald bear.
The Bald bear cannot teach him, so he can only look to Hui Ying for help.
