Chapter 66.2
When Cheng Qi finished reciting, Li Tianyan snapped out of his focus and nodded to him. “This technique suits you. You should give it a try.”
Just from its name, it was evident that this technique was tailored for a person with Yin Yuan body, offering unique cultivation methods and granting Cheng Qi independent control over the Yin energy in his body. With correct application, he would no longer suffer from the excessive outbreaks of Yin energy.
“Young master, I’ll begin now.” Recalling that practicing according to this exercise was imperative for leaving the secret room, Cheng Qi felt reassured upon hearing Li Tianyan’s affirmative response. He prepared to enter a state of meditation.
Li Tianyan reminded him, “The Bigu Pill.”@@@@
Responding promptly, Cheng Qi retrieved two pills and handed one to Li Tianyan. “Young master, please take one first.”
Though he had attained the third level of Qi Condensation, he knew Cheng Qi still had to begin from the first level. Achieving the third level wouldn’t happen overnight. In order to expedite their departure, Cheng Qi could only concentrate on his practice.
Taking advantage of the abundant spiritual energy in the secret room, Li Tianyan began meditating after ingesting the Bigu Pill.
Tan Eyu, summoned by Li Tianyan as a protector, gazed at the two motionless figures in the room, holding her chin in a melancholic manner. She couldn’t shake the feeling of being utterly useless. A ghost slave should simply obey their ghost master’s commands, yet she still had to obey the ghost master’s husband...
.
It was said that time stood still in the mountains. The secret room where Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi resided was shrouded in darkness, and the two deeply engrossed in cultivation remained oblivious to the passing of time.
The ongoing battle within the secret realm remained unaffected by previous events, continuing unabated.
Shang Ruifeng nonchalantly tossed the individual he was carrying before the Hou family. “None of you will be leaving today.”
Hou Yuanju’s complexion paled at the sight of the man lying injured and exhausted on the ground. Trembling, he confronted the duo before him. “You two are audacious... how dare you harm my family...”
“What’s your family to me? You should enlighten me,” Lu Jinghuai retorted coldly, a smile playing on his lips.
The commotion caught the attention of bystanders near the secret realm’s entrance. Shang Zhishen, knowing his fourth son’s temperament, grew concerned about a potential retaliation from the Hou family. Hurriedly, he approached with several senior clan elders and inquired in a neutral tone, “Ruifeng, what’s happening? Why is Young Master Hou in such a state?”
Lu Yuanfeng rushed over to support his son. “Huai’er, what happened in the secret realm?”
Upon hearing the name “Huai’er”, Shang Ruifeng’s gaze involuntarily shifted to Lu Jinghuai’s handsome profile, feeling that the title still suited him perfectly.
“Father, although this man is from the Hou family, he harbors the soul of Hou Kangyu, the Huo family’s ancestor. The Hou family used this battle as an opportunity to gather descendants of aristocratic families in the secret realm, intending for Hou Kangyu to steal people’s lifespan, thus prolonging his own. It’s a scheme to extend longevity,” Lu Jinghuai explained tersely, his tone tinged with horror.
Initially, speculation ran rampant among onlookers as they observed the unfolding events, speculating that the Hou family resorted to extreme measures within the secret realm to secure victory. However, when Lu Jinghuai revealed the truth, a cacophony of voices erupted, with some scoffing in disbelief while others seethed with anger.
Witnessing their plan exposed, Hou Yuanju couldn’t help but tremble slightly, though he maintained a cold sneer. “Totally absurd. The Lu family may forget the dangerous beasts in the secret realm that could kill people. Your accusations are baseless.”
“Ruifeng, is this true?” Shang Zhishen doubted Lu Jinghuai’s credibility in jesting about such matters, yet found the situation increasingly unbelievable.
Throughout history, many innate warriors had pursued the elusive goal of immortality, yet none had succeeded. They were mere mortals, and longevity was a difficult feat to attain. Shang Zhishen had encountered mentions of methods to prolong life in unofficial records, but witnessing it firsthand today was beyond comprehension.
