Tianyuan Realm, Zhao Kingdom, Hengduan Mountain Range.
At the mountain range's core is a third-order spiritual vein emitting rich spiritual energy, which is a holy land for cultivators.
However, it was occupied by the number one cultivation sect of the Zhao Kingdom, the Celestial Sword Sect.
Those who did not join the Celestial Sword Sect naturally could not enjoy such opportunities.
They could only stay on the outskirts of the Hengduan Mountain Range, absorbing a meager amount of spiritual energy that leaked out from the Celestial Sword Sect to cultivate with difficulty.
The powerful cultivators from the Celestial Sword Sect eat meat, while those with no one to rely on, such as loose cultivators, can only taste the soup shallowly.
In the clear sky, a green-robed Cultivator came flying with his sword, breaking the quiet life of hundreds of nearby loose cultivators.
"Isn't that Li Cheng? How come he's injured like that to the point that he can't even fly steadily with his sword?"
"He went to explore the relics that appeared in the Hengduan Mountain Range, Hehe, he really does not want to live, he actually went to grab the opportunity from those Celestial Sword Sect disciples, his simply seeking death!"
"Hays, we loose cultivators are not talented, if we want to prove the Dao of longevity, it's really too difficult ah!"
Li Cheng's miserable appearance caused the other loose cultivators to shake their heads and sigh.
Gazing at Li Cheng descending on the small cave that was not occupied by him, their hearts were calm.
Because they had seen this kind of thing a lot.
In nearby areas, every year, some familiar faces would disappear, and some more new faces would appear.
......
At this moment, Xia Changge is still cultivating seriously.
His talent is very poor; his a cultivator with a four-spirit root consisting of Fire, Earth, Wood, and water.
In addition, his comprehension is not high, so he fails to become a disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect in the end.
He can only become a loose cultivator outside.
But because he has excellent perseverance and a great interest in cultivating immortality.
After 18 years of cultivation, he now has a cultivation level of the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
His reputation for working hard in cultivation was also quite famous in the nearby small circle.
"Hmm?"
Sensing the sound of something falling down outside his cave, Xia Changge immediately got up and went outside to take a look.
Naturally, he saw Li Cheng lying at the door of his cave.
Xia Changge hurriedly went forward to help him up and said with concern: "Fellow Daoist Li, who did such cruel things to you?"
At this moment, Li Cheng's breath was disordered, his Dantian had been destroyed, and the aura of death lingered around his body.
Coupled with desperately flying back.
Not to mention that Xia Changge was so poor that he didn't have any healing medicine.
Even if there is, there is nothing that can be done.
He can't be saved!
Li Cheng knows his own body very well and knows that he has no more than a few seconds left to live.
At this moment, he still has some obsession that he can't let go of, forcing him to continue to live on for a few seconds.
Li Cheng firmly grasped Xia Changge's shoulder: "Fellow Daoist Xia, I was wrong. I did not listen to your advice and went outside to fight for opportunity. Now… ahh, those Celestial Sword Sect disciple is too domineering; they won't let go of me at all."
From the perspective of Xia Changge as a loose cultivator, going outside to fight those Celestial Sword sects' disciples for opportunity is no different from seeking your own demise.
With Li Cheng's words, Xia Changge could not answer.
People should have self-awareness.
In the eyes of the Celestial Sword Sect, these loose cultivators are parasites living under their feet. They didn't feel any guilt when they took a few steps forward and accidentally trampled them to death.
Li Cheng trembling to take out his storage bag, put it in Xia Changge's hand, and begged: "Fellow Daoist Xia, I know your character, on the hundreds of fellow cultivators nearby, I only trust you. I... In the mortal world, I have a wife and a daughter who is only four years old, I beg you Fellow Daoist Xia to help me take care of my wife and daughter for more than ten years, this is my reward, please..."
Li Cheng and Xia Changge have been neighbors for five years, so Li Cheng knows what kind of character this neighbor has.
He never does anything that hurts others.
In the past five years, he has not even seen Xia Changge kill a chicken or slaughter a fish.
He did not even see Xia Changge leave his living place and travel a hundred miles!
Xia Changge didn't go to any places that were a little bit dangerous to explore!
Li Cheng can trust this kind of person with an indifferent personality.
"This... ah! How can I refuse the request of fellow Taoist before their death!"
Xia Changge was helpless when he saw that the brother, who was still discussing cultivation together some time ago, was stepping to his death today.
Fortunately, he wasn't blinded by the ruins left by the Golden Core Realm. Otherwise, he might not be any better off.
After Xia Changge agreed, Li Cheng, who was in a tense mood, also relaxed.
Immediately afterward, Li Cheng's arm fell to the ground feebly.
Xia Changge reached out and closed Li Cheng's eyes, which were not yet closed.
Then he picked up Li Cheng's storage bag.
"Twenty-seven low grade spirit stones, three Qi gathering pills, a low-grade magic weapon, a water element scripture that can be cultivated to the eighth level of Qi refining realm, three low grade spells, hmm... this is ..."
Xia Changge naturally took a good look to see if there was anything useful to him.
Looking at it, he really admires it.
This Li Cheng is worthy of being a loose cultivator who fought for opportunity; his savings are much richer than a loose cultivator like Xia Changge, who stays at home.
The current Xia Changge only has three spirit stones on his body.
"This text...how is it possible..."
Xia Changge found a book among Li Cheng's savings.
The text on it was not the text of the Tianyuan Realm!
Instead, it was the text from… his previous life!
"Sacred Heart Art? Is this a joke!"
Xia Changge was a bit dazed for a while after seeing the book's title.
These three words were not unfamiliar to him at all.
"Sacred Heart Art, with nine layers, cultivating the first layer can prolong life for twenty years, cultivating to the second layer can prolong life for fifty years, cultivating to the third layer can prolong life for one hundred and twenty years, condensing the longevity true qi, can make a person's broken arm reconnect, even to rise from the death…"
Looking at the introduction above, Xia Changge became more and more surprised.
This is not a cultivation Technique but a martial arts Technique!
But it is not worse than any cultivation Technique method!
Even more powerful than many Techniques!
"If I can extend my life by more than one hundred or two hundred years, wouldn't I be able to... easily reach the foundation establishment realm? Then I can extend my life by another hundred and fifty years?!" Xia Changge's eyes flickered brightly
As a loose cultivator, they had no resources. So, their cultivation was so slow that they were on the verge of death after reaching the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
So how could they think about reaching the foundation establishment realm?
But if you have this Sacred Heart Art, you can still have a strong Qi and blood when you are one or two hundred years old.
When the time comes to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm, wouldn't the chance be significantly improved?
Even a failure would not affect him because he could quickly recover!
"Try it!"
Xia Changge became bolder this time because it was related to his future!
He first used the fireball to incinerate the body of his good brother, put the ashes into an earthen jar, and put them aside temporarily.
Then he began to practice according to the contents of the Sacred Heart Art.
"It can be done!"
Two hours later, Xia Changge's dark eyes became bigger, and the ecstasy on his face could not be concealed.
He could clearly perceive that there was no problem in cultivating this Sacred Heart Art.
He would even be able to reach the first level in a few days.
Twenty years of life extension?!
