Life Nurturing Art: 180 Years

"Dao'er, Dao'er, how are you?"

Seeing Jiang Dao casually rip off the Eerie Youth's head, Jiang Dalong's face turned ashen. Despite his extreme nervousness, he quickly walked over and asked.

Pang Lin, Fang Biao, and the others also hurried over, each utterly shocked.

Jiang Dao's body swayed, his bulging muscles gradually recovering, his veins retracting. His face was somewhat pale, and his chest was a bloody mess, still dripping poisonous blood.

Although he had the Life Nurturing Art, most of the poisonous blood had been forced out by him, but there were still many residual toxins that would be difficult to expel completely in a short time.

"Father, I'm fine."

Jiang Dao shook his head.

"Quick, someone come and bandage Dao'er!"

Jiang Dalong shouted urgently.

"No need, the wound is poisoned. No one come near!"

Jiang Dao waved his hand, refusing the people rushing towards him. He then borrowed a steel knife from Pang Lin, endured the pain, and picked up a piece of flesh corroded by the potent poison, cutting it off with the blade.

Squelch!

Poisonous blood splattered, emitting a foul stench.

Jiang Dao let out a pained groan.

But fortunately, his Life Nurturing Art was extremely potent, circulating within his body continuously.

This caused the fresh blood that had just spurted out to stop quickly, and even the wound began to slowly close.

"Get bandages!"

Jiang Dao said through gritted teeth.

Pang Lin on the side quickly handed over the bandages.

Jiang Dao took the bandages and personally wrapped them tightly around his wound.

The entire wound burned like fire. If it weren't for the protection of the Eagle Claw Iron Shirt, the Eerie Youth's claw would have ripped him open earlier!

Monsters, Malevolent Spirits – these were not normal humans!

The world was more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Father, let's set off soon. We can't stay here."

Jiang Dao grunted.

"Alright, alright!"

Jiang Dalong nodded quickly and had people help Jiang Dao into a carriage.

A group of servants busied themselves, packing their belongings, and they began to travel again.

After that, there were no further dangers.

Outside the carriage, Pang Lin, Fang Biao, Wang Xing, and the others diligently led the guard.

The group continued their journey, not daring to linger for a moment along the way.

Inside the carriage.

Jiang Dao looked at the five major cultivation techniques before him and finally modified the Life Nurturing Art and the Eagle Claw Iron Shirt again.

Through the battle with the Eerie Youth, he deeply understood the role of the Life Nurturing Art.

Even now, at 120 years, it could expel so much poison.

If it were modified to 200 or 300 years, its effect would be even greater.

More importantly, during the previous battle, the Life Nurturing Art had also provided him with a significant boost in combat power.

When the Eerie Youth had his body pinned and was about to crush him, he had used the internal energy from the Life Nurturing Art to directly inflict heavy damage on the opponent, clearly demonstrating its effectiveness.

Swish!

The entire panel changed again.

Feeling the airflow in his body instantly double in thickness, Jiang Dao felt a wave of comfort from the bottom of his heart.

The airflow, which was originally only as thick as headphone wire, had now become as thick as a phone charging cable. As it circulated, his wounds felt sore and numb, and his entire spirit became invigorated.

"Still only able to modify two techniques? I can't modify more at once..."

Jiang Dao frowned.

This Eerie Youth was clearly several times stronger than an ordinary Malevolent Spirit, yet the effect was only the modification of two techniques, with one increasing his cultivation by 60 years.

Could it be that this system could only modify two techniques at a time?

"Two is two, better than not being able to modify at all."

Jiang Dao thought to himself.

Even if it was just two, he would accept it.

Looking at the five martial arts listed, Jiang Dao began to ponder again.

"I wonder if I can fuse the Mad Demon Staff Art and the Blood Shadow Soulchaser Blade. If these two martial arts were to be mastered and integrated, complementing each other to become one, they would undoubtedly be even more powerful..."

Jiang Dao mused.

But it was easier said than done, after all, one was a staff art and the other a saber art, belonging to two completely different martial disciplines.

He immediately closed his eyes and sat down, beginning to deduce and fuse them in his mind.

Time flowed by quickly, bit by bit.

A full two days passed.

The Jiang family's convoy rested for a night in a small town nearby.

Fortunately, they encountered no incidents during the night.

It wasn't until noon on the third day that they finally arrived at Fengzhou City.

Fengzhou City was also a place that the Jiang family had operated in for a long time, with extensive connections and considerable business. Not to mention the millions of taels of silver notes Jiang Dao carried, they could live comfortably for a while just from the shops here.

The Jiang family's business spanned four states and thirteen counties, so they naturally wouldn't have only Hengzhou City as their base.

It was just that Hengzhou City was their family's largest base.

"Dao'er, we've arrived."

Jiang Dalong said with a smile. After getting out of the carriage, he immediately walked towards Jiang Dao's carriage.

The carriage curtain was lifted.

Jiang Dao's strong and robust physique slowly emerged from the carriage.

After his feet touched the ground, his height had increased by another two centimeters. His shoulders were broad, his black hair was thick, and he wore a clean white robe. He raised his gaze and looked towards a mansion before him.

[Jiang Manor Estate].

Four large characters, gilded and ancient, met his eyes.

In front of the main gate stood his five useless younger brothers and his younger sister, Jiang Ruyan.

As soon as Jiang Ruyan saw her family arrive, her eyes immediately turned red. She cried out and quickly rushed towards Jiang Dalong.

"Dad, Eldest Brother..."

Jiang Ruyan's voice was choked with emotion.

"Ruyan, it's alright now. Go to the side and find your mother!"

Jiang Dalong said with a kind smile.

Jiang Ruyan, with red and swollen eyes, tears flowing, nodded vigorously. She then looked at Jiang Dao, "Big Brother, are you alright!"

"It's nothing. Has anyone bullied you these past few days?"

Jiang Dao asked, glancing at his five useless younger brothers.

"No!"

Jiang Ruyan replied.

"Good, go to the side and help out!"

Jiang Dao nodded.

Jiang Ruyan immediately walked to the side, looking for her mother.

"Dao'er, this is the separate estate that your father has been building for over ten years. From now on, it should be completely safe."

Jiang Dalong said.

The other servants were also delighted, busily moving things from the carriages down.

Some people rushed into the mansion, starting to clean and sprinkle water to dispel any bad luck.

Only Jiang Dao felt a sense of unease, knowing that things were not that simple.

He had killed a Spirit Child from the Spirit Child Palace.

No one knew if this force would retaliate!

After all, this was a non-human force!

Its methods might even be more extreme than those of normal people.

If they came for revenge, could he withstand them?

"Quick, go buy some firecrackers! Also, send invitations to all the major gentry in the city. I want to invite them to a meal at the Yan Yang Restaurant the day after tomorrow at noon!"

Jiang Dalong suddenly commanded.

Surviving this ordeal had made him see things more clearly; he wanted to invite the entire city to celebrate together.

"Father, I want to learn martial arts. Do you have any other ways?"

Jiang Dao suddenly asked, his voice heavy.

"Learn martial arts? Aren't you already learning?"

Jiang Dalong asked in surprise.

"It's far from enough. I want to learn more. The appearance of that Malevolent Spirit once caused heavy casualties throughout Hengzhou City. If it appears in Fengzhou again, can we still escape by sheer luck?"

Jiang Dao asked.

Jiang Dalong fell silent instantly, his heart sinking.

That's right!

If a person does not plan for the distant future, they will find sorrow near at hand!

They had only survived this time by luck.

What would happen if it happened again?

"Dao'er, don't worry. I'll write to some friends right away and ask if they have any leads. I'll definitely get back to you within three days!"

Jiang Dalong said solemnly.

"Okay!"

Jiang Dao nodded lightly.
