Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan set to work again and quickly filled eight Mimi Jade Bottles.

Each bottle was about a cubic foot in size.

Looking at the empty cold spring, Jiang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The cold spring spirit water is a top-grade spring water in terms of taste.

At the same time, it is infused with rich spiritual energy, which is excellent for brewing tea or wine.

Even if consumed directly, it is as good as a divine pill, capable of enhancing spiritual power stored in the Spiritual Sea.

A cubic foot of cold spring spirit water is roughly worth thirty to forty thousand inferior spiritual stones.

Jiang Yuan gave another Mimi Jade Bottle to Nangong Yue, leaving himself with only six bottles filled with cold spring spirit water.

Nangong Yue instantly showed a dimpled smile: “Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang!”

Jiang Yuan smiled: “Junior Sister Nangong, Brother Kou, I bid you farewell now! I’m going deeper into this cave world!”

“Alright!” Kou Dong gestured with his clasped hands, then said, “You needn’t worry about Junior Sister Nangong and me, we are not reckless people!”

Nangong Yue also said, “I wish you a smooth journey, Senior Brother Jiang.”

She turned to Kou Dong and said, “Brother Kou, you don’t have to worry about me either. Continue moving deeper! I’ll just train in the outer third layer, there’ll be no danger!”

Kou Dong nodded and said no more.

Everyone who comes to the Pearl Cave is seeking a fortune.

Their cultivation levels vary, and so do their goals.

The outer three layers and the second layer are scavenged by the heaven geniuses every ten years; it’s rare to find a big opportunity.

The further in you go, the stronger the monstrous beasts you encounter, and the place becomes more pristine; naturally, the chances of finding opportunities increase.

Therefore, the more powerful heaven geniuses will try to venture deeper into the cave world. The closer you get to the center of the Pearl Cave, the bigger the rewards.

If you miss this Pearl Cave exploration, the next will be in another ten years.

But how many decades do the heaven geniuses who can enter the Pearl Cave have?

A heaven genius can enter the Pearl Cave twice in a lifetime at most, so each opening of the Pearl Cave must be cherished.

After all, in the path of cultivation, the proportion of resources is extremely important.

After bidding farewell to Kou Dong and Nangong Yue, Jiang Yuan made a beeline for the center of the Pearl Cave.

Along the way, with his powerful divine sense, he discovered some spiritual plants that had grown for decades.

As he passed these places, there was no reaction from his Status Panel.

Two days later.

He was startled as a mysterious message informed him that he had already entered the outer two layers of the Pearl Cave.

Jiang Yuan looked surprised.

You must know that his current speed, bolstered by the great success level of the Technique of Earth Escape and the Path of Space.

Had now reached a frightening level of eight miles in one breath, a terrifying speed indeed.

Even ordinary cultivators at the Divine Bridge Realm would find it hard to keep up with him.

This was the terror effect of a great success level od Technique of Earth Escape combined with the Path of Space.

But even at this speed, it took him half a day to enter the second layer of the outskirts. How vast is this Pearl Cave?

The Sect Leader underestimated its size!

The size of Qianyuan Kingdom can’t even compare to it!

Just one outer third layer is larger than Qianyuan Kingdom.

At this moment, he somewhat understood the divine power of the Demon King.

Just by the size of this cave world, one can glimpse a bit of its divine power.

Destroying Qianyuan Kingdom was probably easy for that Demon King.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking. The situation back then must have been complex.

Because in his current view, if that Demon King really wanted to destroy Qianyuan Kingdom, it could probably be done in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, just as he stepped into the second layer of the outskirts.

Immediately, he felt an oppressive force enveloping him, causing his speed to drop suddenly.

In an instant, he was only moving at half of his original speed.

“What a terrifying suppression!” he murmured.

It wasn’t surprising. Before entering, he knew that the deeper he went into the Pearl Cave, the stronger the oppressive force would be.

That’s why low-level cultivators could find it hard to move even an inch once they ventured deeper into the Pearl Cave.

Just as he stepped into the second layer of the outskirts, a prompt appeared before him.

[A chance encounter has been detected, do you want to consume 243 strands of Luck Power to gain detailed information about this opportunity?]

Jiang Yuan stopped in his tracks and a delighted smile appeared on his face as he read the prompt.

Finally, another trigger.

It seems as my cultivation level is increasing, the things that can be considered as opportunities are decreasing.

To consume 243 strands of my luck power, undoubtedly represents a significant opportunity.

A thought flickered in Jiang Yuan’s mind.

[Yes!]

[Successfully consumed 243 strands of luck power.]

The next moment, another notification flashed before his eyes.

[Twelve hundred and forty-three miles to the southeast, there is a towering mountain of a thousand feet. Inside the mountain body, there exists a century-old gostana that has condensed the essence of eight hundred years.]

Seeing this alert, Jiang Yuan was immediately pleased.

Gostana, the essence produced where the earth pulses accumulate, is full of powerful spiritual substances and is a high-quality natural treasure.

If it transforms into a thousand-year-old gostana, it contains fragments of the earth pulse rules that could cause a certain transformation in the physique and even sublimation.

It’s a pity that this is only a century-old gostana, which lacks the miraculous effects, but it remains an invaluable natural treasure.

The essence of eight hundred years is enough to improve his cultivation significantly.

Thinking of this, he quickly set off in the direction guided by the notification.

At this moment, there was a faint guiding light in his eyes.

The direction it pointed to was exactly where the century-old gostana was located.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yuan arrived on the ground.

Before him stood a towering mountain that reached into the clouds.

This is the place! Jiang Yuan murmured to himself.

With a flash of divine light in his eyes, he saw through the entire mountain.

In an instant, he found the location of the century-old gostana.

Jiang Yuan, holding Shu Xiaoxiao, immediately used the Technique of Earth Escape to enter the mountain body.

Sometime later…

In an underground cavern, the figure of Jiang Yuan appeared.

A dark light was hurled straight toward his face.

“I noticed you a long time ago!” Jiang Yuan said indifferently.

He raised his hand and caught it. With the rules of the Five Elements gathering in his hand, the dark light shattered instantly, revealing a black snake flicking its tongue.

Its entire body was as black as ink, and it was only a foot long.

However, in the Demon Tribe, the black snake was tremendously notorious.

Its toxicity and its ability to launch stealth attacks made it almost undefeatable.

It was considered a top-ranked assassin, a killer.

Typically, one bite from it would mean an incurable poison and death within a quarter of an hour.

The most critical point was that while most demons would grow in size as their cultivation increased, this was not the case for the black snake.

Looking at the black snake in his hand, with red eyes and giving off a low roar, Jiang Yuan thought to himself. As expected, the demons of Pearl Cave have all lost their intelligence!

Otherwise, how could this black snake, equivalent in cultivation to the sixth tier of the Spiritual Sea Realm, be unable to speak?

The next moment, he exerted force with his fingers and instantly killed the black snake.

After its breath was completely gone, Jiang Yuan put it into his storage space.

A demon equivalent to the sixth tier of the Spiritual Sea Realm was highly nourishing.

His gaze then fell on a pool of water by his side.

The pond was about a foot wide and three feet deep, and its surface had turned milky white.

The century-old gostana had all melted into this pool.

Jiang Yuan took off his outer clothing and jumped into the pool.

He immediately felt the spiritual substances rushing into his body.

Jiang Yuan was delighted and then looked up at Shu Xiaoxiao on the shore.

“Xiaoxiao, you should also come in quickly to absorb the century-old gostana in this pool.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded in response.

She then slowly took off her outer clothing, revealing her creamy white skin that seemed to glimmer like jade.

It appeared as if there were strands of celestial light spiraling around her body. In the dim cave lit only by a faint glow, her pale light appeared even brighter.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan had already closed his eyes, beginning to fully absorb the century-old gostana in the pool.

On witnessing this, Shu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but pout.

She quickly took off her outer clothes, stepped into the pool wearing her inner layer, and sat cross-legged in front of Jiang Yuan. The pool quickly rose to her swan-like neck, soaking her clothes instantly.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan had his eyes closed, she also slowly closed her eyes and began refining the century-old gostana in the pool.
