Pawning lifespan, starting from a low-level martial arts world to transform into a dragon.

Chapter 67 Continuous Rebirth, Pursuing the Ultimate Physical Fitness

Over the next few days, Chen Ye completely immersed himself in cultivation.

With a touch of sword intent, he repeatedly cleansed his physical body in pursuit of true 'purity and cleanliness'.

During this time, he went to the training ground but did not find Cui Yingtang.

Only after inquiring with the people in the mansion did they learn that because of the Shaojiawei incident, Cui Yingtang had gone out to "spar" with the scions of the Xie family, and had injured several of them.

However, he was later defeated by Xie Xuan, the heir of the Xie family, and was beaten so badly that he vomited blood.

This incident has further strained the relationship between the Cui and Xie families.

Fearing that Cui Yingtang would cause further trouble, Cui Zhenru simply locked him in the Cui family ancestral hall to reflect on his actions.

Chen Ye had no choice but to learn and practice on his own.

Fortunately, he had already mastered the basics of the Mixed Blade Technique, and even without Cui Yingtang's guidance, he could comprehend it on his own.

Time passed day by day.

Chen Ye declined Su Guang and Zuo Dongxi's usual gatherings, focusing wholeheartedly on his spiritual practice.

Normally, when practicing the Hunyi Sword Technique and refining sword intent, one can naturally undergo a transformation.

Chen Ye was no exception.

After mastering the essence of the sword, transformation will be a natural outcome.

He practiced his sword every day, repeatedly washing his body with the force of a waterfall of sword strokes, constantly refining the impurities from his flesh and blood, making his body clear and pure.

Soon after, his whole body became feverish and his blood felt like it was boiling.

The spirit, constantly tempered by the intent of the sword, was stimulated and poured into the body, nourishing the flesh and causing further changes in the physique.

He began his sixth transformation.

This transformative change focuses on the muscles, bones, skin, and membranes, further strengthening the "copper skin and iron bones" and making the body more resilient.

In other words, it is more "resistant to damage".

At the same time, the layer of pale golden keratin around his body became increasingly crystalline, and its radiance began to recede. Under Chen Ye's deliberate encouragement, it was even able to conceal the true yang light.

Chen Ye was quite satisfied with these changes.

For an average person to be reborn six times in a year is far beyond the normal range and may even damage their foundation.

But Chen Ye is different.

The body's true yang energy circulates, giving the flesh and blood abundant vitality, making its foundation extremely strong, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

Chen Ye even felt that six or seven rebirths a year had not yet reached the limits of his physical body.

With more precious medicines to support him, he could go even further.

Chen Ye had no intention of stopping his pursuit of further breakthroughs.

After completing his sixth rebirth, he bought some pills containing essential substances from the Cui family pharmacy and couldn't wait to begin his next rebirth.

Ten more days have passed.

With the continuous refinement of his sword intent, he began his seventh transformation.

During this transformation, he could clearly perceive a comprehensive improvement in his physical condition.

Strength, the five senses, and reactions are all changing.

His eyesight became exceptional, allowing him to see clearly even in the dark.

Chen Ye couldn't help but slap the sunken wood with all his might, leaving a palm print an inch deep.

Chen Ye instinctively judged that his strength had probably reached 800 jin, exceeding the level of an ordinary person who had undergone seven rebirths.

After undergoing the seventh transformation, his skin pores oozed impurities resembling ointment, transparent and slippery.

This was the last impurity in his flesh and blood.

At this point, the impurities in his body had been almost completely removed, and his physical body had become extremely pure.

Chen Ye glanced at the pawn system and found that his lifespan had also increased after the two rebirths.

Name: Chen Ye

[Current Martial Arts: Peiyuan Gong (Perfected), Guiyuan Jue (Perfected), Hunyi Dao Fa (Perfected)]

[Realm: Rebirth (Part 7)]

Current remaining lifespan: 467 days.

This short-term, continuous breakthrough did not involve sufficient preparation of essential substances, resulting in a relatively small lifespan being consumed during this breakthrough.

However, this was all expected.

There are gains and losses.

Fortunately, his mixed-style sword technique was perfected, and his three-part sword intent was complete.

It is foreseeable that with the continuous refinement of his sword intent, he will achieve great things.

Chen Ye had inquired elsewhere and learned that the number of times one reaches the Transcendent Realm is directly related to whether one can be born with innate abilities in the future.

The more times one is reborn, the greater the probability of achieving one's innate nature.

Generally speaking, five rebirths are the basic requirement.

Each additional attempt increases the chances of success.

After nine rebirths, there's a 60% chance of success.

Therefore, scions of prominent families with deep-rooted traditions will try every means to pursue more rebirths.

Chen Ye shared the same thought.

He wanted to pursue the ultimate physical body, and was not in a hurry to break through to the Dragon Elephant realm after the seventh rebirth. Instead, he would try it after his physical body reached the peak of the rebirth.

Now that he has ample opportunities, he naturally needs to proceed cautiously and begin paving the way for the future.

……

Deep within the Feng family's inner quarters, a quiet room was specially set aside.

The interior is elegantly and serenely furnished with Buddha statues, incense burners, and meditation cushions. It is where the matriarch of the household recites Buddhist scriptures and meditates in the morning and evening.

At this moment, the First Lady, Lady Guan, wearing gold ornaments, was kneeling in front of the Buddhist shrine, intently reciting scriptures.

The door behind him opened, and a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties walked in.

She closed the door behind her, walked to Guan Rongci's side, and whispered, "Uncle Xu sent word that the master has noticed the young master's recent upright conduct and his attitude seems to be softening."

The air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood in the quiet room, and Guan Rongci slowed down the speed at which she turned the prayer beads in front of the Buddhist altar.

Guan Rongci opened her eyes and said, "Yes, that's good news. What's the situation with the third branch of the family?"

"The Third Madam and Madam Zhou heard some rumors and were naturally unhappy."

"What about the elders?"

Guo Lingyi replied, "The attitude is somewhat ambiguous. But most people still believe that, according to ancestral rules, the young master is the eldest son and should inherit the family business. The old master's favoritism towards the third master is the root of the family's troubles. The root of this matter lies with the old master; the young master was merely forced to act more aggressively."

Guan Rongci nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. Master has been bewitched by that old vixen. Now that there's a chance, we should make a move."

Guo Lingyi said, "Does Madam intend to first give a warning to the widow of the third wife?"

"The old vixen can't cause much trouble now that she's lost her son. If that young master comes out, the one who'll be most restless is actually Madam Zhou. She'll probably try to trip us up these days. We need to keep her in line and prevent her from causing any more trouble. It's definitely necessary to give her a good talking-to."

Guan Rongci pondered for a moment, then asked, "Regarding the matter of the young master being framed by the third branch of the family, I heard that someone was secretly helping him behind the scenes. Have you found any clues?"

Guo Lingyi replied, "It has been investigated. This person is named Chen Ye, a commoner from out of town. Because he was involved in the matter of the Third Young Master, he somehow obtained some evidence and, through Xingjie'er and Zhou Shi, secretly set up a scheme, which led to all the subsequent events."

Guan Rongci remained calm and then asked, "Is this person still in the capital?"

Guo Lingyi hesitated for a moment, her expression slightly complicated, and said, "This man does have some ability. I don't know how he got involved with the Cui family, and I heard that the Cui family is working on his way to the martial arts examination in a month. If we want to start by putting pressure on the Zhou family, it probably won't be easy."

Guan Rongci snorted coldly and said, "Taking action against him is not just to teach Zhou a lesson. This man caused my son to suffer; how can he not be punished? If even a commoner cannot be dealt with, how will the other branches of the family view the eldest young master in the future? How will the eldest young master be able to command respect and inherit the family business?"

Guo Lingyi couldn't think of a solution and said, "But he's at the Cui residence. Does Mother have any ideas?"

Guan Rongci closed his eyes and said slowly, "The military examinations in the capital have always been fully presided over by the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Evaluation Office, and the examiners are mostly drawn from the military command of the military governors."

"Have Uncle Xu make some connections and arrange for a martial arts master who doesn't know his own strength and is capable of murder to be the examiner. Tell him to kill this person on the spot during the martial arts test."

"In the capital, it has been common for commoners to die during the martial arts examinations. Such incidents are not uncommon and do not attract much attention."

"Once this person is dead, we can then pass the news on to the Zhou family. She will behave herself for a while."

Hearing this, Guo Lingyi's eyes lit up, and she complimented, "Mother's methods are truly brilliant. I'll go and make the arrangements right away."

After saying that, she turned around hurriedly and went out to make arrangements.
