Longevity Art

Chapter 6: Longevity Art

Bi Fan was accustomed to waking up early. He got up the next morning and continued building the bamboo house.

If he was going to stay on Jade Maiden Peak in the future, the house he lived in long-term naturally had to be a bit better.

Little did he know, Xiao Feng had already found out. Bi Fan had indeed been severely injured and knocked unconscious by Zhu San and thrown into the back mountain.

Zhu San had naturally placed a gag order on the medicine boys, but Xiao Feng had found out through other channels. Those people hadn't gone with him and only knew that Bi Fan had been carried to the back mountain.

By a twist of fate, Bi Fan's lie was covered up. Even if someone said he was thrown into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, he would have something to say to fob them off.

"Xiao Feng, make arrangements for Bi Fan. When I'm not around, keep a close eye on him. Also, teach Bi Fan the Qingyang Sect's introductory cultivation technique, Myriad Ancestor Fist, first. Keep an eye on his progress at all times and teach him deeper level techniques based on his progress," Yu Si Yan decided after learning about Bi Fan.

Myriad Ancestor Fist, the name sounded quite imposing, but it was just an introductory cultivation technique, widely spread throughout the Vast Sky Great World.

Since it could be spread widely, Myriad Ancestor Fist naturally had its unique aspects.

Myriad Ancestor Fist was used to increase strength and was suitable for cultivators before the Inner Breath Realm.

Bi Fan was full of vigor, and the bamboo house became increasingly complete.

Xiao Feng quickly found Bi Fan and said, "Bi Fan, you'll stay on Jade Maiden Peak from now on and be in charge of the medicinal garden. Come to me if you need anything."

"Yes! Yes!..." Bi Fan, honest and simple, nodded continuously.

Xiao Feng was very satisfied seeing Bi Fan's compliance.

"I'll take you to see the medicinal garden. You must take special care of some of the precious spiritual medicines in the garden."

Jade Maiden Peak's medicinal garden was vast, with hundreds of types of spiritual medicines, more than ten of which were relatively precious.

Bi Fan's workload would be heavy in the future, but he wasn't afraid. Compared to before, there were no quests here; he only needed to take care of the spiritual medicines, which was already much easier.

Xiao Feng took Bi Fan on a tour, then tossed the Myriad Ancestor Fist manual to Bi Fan and left.

Xiao Feng, whose real name was Yu Xiao Feng, was Yu Si Yan's personal maid.

Since she couldn't go to the Mystic Maiden Palace with Yu Si Yan to cultivate, she stayed on Jade Maiden Peak year-round to help Yu Si Yan manage it.

Yu Xiao Feng was very strong and treated her subordinates well, earning her popularity on Jade Maiden Peak.

Bi Fan held the Myriad Ancestor Fist manual, his heart filled with excitement. He returned to his residence.

When he was still a medicine boy, how much he had wished he could cultivate.

But his physique was too poor to cultivate, and even if he could, he didn't have any cultivation techniques.

Now it was great. He was strong and healthy, able to cultivate, and someone had even delivered a cultivation technique to him. It seemed he had good luck.

Bi Fan couldn't wait. He opened Myriad Ancestor Fist and began to read.

Before, to take care of spiritual medicines, he had to learn some specialized knowledge related to them. He had learned to read, and now it finally came in handy.

Myriad Ancestor Fist was actually very simple, with only twelve stances in total, which cultivated various parts of the body to enhance strength.

The Myriad Ancestor Fist manual had diagrams with textual explanations, making it easy to understand.

Bi Fan read it carefully a few times, then began his first practice.

Long Fist... Split Kick... Sweeping Kick... White Crane Spreads Wings...

Bi Fan was very serious, practicing each move slowly and meticulously.

After a day's work, Bi Fan could already perform the entire set of Myriad Ancestor Fist with considerable skill.

He didn't know why, but Bi Fan always felt he learned very easily. It should be related to his improved physique and strength.

Bi Fan didn't know how strong he was now. He estimated his punching power should exceed two hundred jin.

The Strong Body Realm, a realm Bi Fan had only dreamed of reaching before, had now become a reality without him realizing it, making Bi Fan still find it hard to believe.

Cultivate. Cultivate. Cultivate more...

Bi Fan was somewhat engrossed, cultivating excitedly all night.

His strength was still insufficient. Even a minor figure like Zhu San was a Martial Force Realm expert. It was still too early for Bi Fan to seek revenge.

Bi Fan was stubborn at heart. He wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible to get revenge soon.

The next day, a maid brought food, and Bi Fan finally ended his cultivation.

The food on Jade Maiden Peak was good. The key was that Bi Fan didn't have to cook it himself, which gave him a lot more time to cultivate.

After breakfast, Bi Fan went to the medicinal garden. It was his first day in charge, and he needed to familiarize himself with the garden's situation to avoid any problems later.

Having only been on Jade Maiden Peak for a day, Bi Fan already didn't want to leave. If he messed up his main job, he might find it difficult to stay on Jade Maiden Peak.

There were quite a few spiritual medicines in the garden, and Bi Fan observed them very carefully, inspecting each one.

Pruning, weeding, fertilizing, transplanting...

Bi Fan was extremely familiar with these tasks and handled them with ease.

Bi Fan spent the entire day in the medicinal garden. Although it was a bit tiring, he was in a good mood.

Yu Xiao Feng took good care of Bi Fan, delivering meals on time every day and not bothering whether Bi Fan was working or not. This gave Bi Fan a lot of free time.

Once he was familiar with the work in the medicinal garden, it only took a few hours each day to complete. The rest of the time was entirely up to him to allocate.

To quickly improve his strength, Bi Fan had almost no rest time, pouring all his energy into cultivation.

Perhaps it was due to consuming the Ten Thousand Year Earth Vein Spirit Milk, his energy was extremely abundant. Even after cultivating all night, he didn't feel tired.

Moreover, Bi Fan's strength grew rapidly, increasing at a speed that could almost be felt.

Every day, he felt his strength had improved significantly, and needless to say, Bi Fan was thrilled.

Not only that, but Bi Fan's body seemed to grow stronger every day. The frail Bi Fan of the past was nowhere to be seen.

In the blink of an eye, Bi Fan had been at Jade Maiden Peak for a month. Yu Si Yan had left Jade Maiden Peak a few days prior. Before leaving, she had specifically summoned Bi Fan to assess his cultivation progress.

At the time, Bi Fan thought his ears were playing tricks on him, that he had misheard.

Yu Si Yan actually called him a cultivation prodigy. In less than a month, his fist strength had reached eight hundred jin, and he was already a cultivator in the Accumulating Strength Realm, not far from the Martial Force Realm.

Not long ago, Bi Fan was a complete and utter good-for-nothing, completely unable to cultivate, even weaker than an ordinary person.

Before leaving, Yu Si Yan personally gave Bi Fan a technique for cultivating internal energy – the Qingyang Longevity Art.

The Qingyang Longevity Art was an introductory technique for cultivating internal energy in the Qingyang Sect. It focused on nourishing the body, and its effect on cultivating internal energy was not good. It was a technique for registered disciples.

Even though it was just an introductory technique, someone like Bi Fan, a mere medicine boy, would never be taught it. Even stewards like Zhu San could not obtain the secrets of the Qingyang Longevity Art.

Yu Si Yan had always maintained a cold, seemingly unapproachable demeanor. Yet, she looked upon Bi Fan with special favor, leaving him overwhelmed with gratitude.

Bi Fan truly wished he could cultivate internal energy quickly and repay Zhu San for all the insults he had endured.

Unfortunately, the Qingyang Longevity Art could only be cultivated after Bi Fan reached the peak of the Martial Force Realm. For now, he had to put it aside and focus on cultivating the Myriad Ancestor Fist.
