From repairing them to max level, the former had cost him eleven years, while the latter had cost him nine.
Together, that made exactly twenty years.
However, to the current Xu Changqing, that was simply a drizzle.
A single harvest could increase his lifespan by more than twenty years, so there was no need to care.

Besides, these techniques were sufficient for him at this stage.
At worst, he could seek new techniques after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.
With a flicker, Xu Changqing vanished from the room.
