This is the initial cultivation method for the Forbidden Art: Mend Talent.

Once you have mastered the basics, you won't need to strike strange poses the next time you want to improve your talent; you can simply consume your lifespan directly.

Su Fan sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice this forbidden art.

At a certain moment, he felt a brief trance, as if something had vanished from within his body.

Lifespan!

The Infinite Lifespan System stirred slightly.

"That consumed ten years of my lifespan just like that? I don't feel anything at all!"

Su Fan smacked his lips.

Having an endless, infinite lifespan is truly exhilarating.

"Finally mastered the basics. How much has my talent improved?"

In an instant, Su Fan felt that the cultivation techniques he had practiced before had become much easier.

Even the sword dao he previously couldn't comprehend was now within his grasp.

"My talent has doubled!"

Su Fan was pleasantly surprised.

Although his talent had doubled, he was still a piece of trash!

After all, his base talent was truly too garbage!

"It turns out I can't consume my lifespan continuously!"

Su Fan sighed, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"I can only wait until tomorrow to use it again. If I use it once every day, I'll soon be able to catch up to those peerless geniuses."

Thinking of this, Su Fan became incredibly excited.

The forbidden art of Mend Talent was indeed powerful!

"Let's see what other forbidden arts are suitable!"

Su Fan looked toward the next Forbidden Technique Tomb.

Now that his talent had improved, it was time to try practicing other forbidden arts to boost his strength.

"Forbidden Art: Life-Sacrificing Sword Tomb."

Su Fan arrived in front of the second grave and looked at the characters on the sword stele.

Life-Sacrificing Sword?

This was an offensive forbidden art.

"The sword dao is bizarre and unpredictable to the enemy. The Life-Sacrificing Sword burns lifespan to forge a blade, spat from the mouth to kill the enemy when they are off guard..."

The Life-Sacrificing Sword forbidden art belonged to a bizarre category of attack methods, designed to catch opponents off guard.

The attack is spat from the mouth, making it extremely difficult for others to defend against.

"The power of this forbidden art should be quite good, and more importantly, it's devious enough!"

Su Fan was overjoyed.

This forbidden art was perfect for him.

When he opens his mouth, the enemy will think he is about to speak, never imagining that he is actually launching an attack!

Furthermore, the power of this Life-Sacrificing Sword is extremely formidable.

After all, it is an attack fueled by burning one's own lifespan.

Su Fan opened the grave, and inside was another three-foot jade coffin.

Inscribed on the jade coffin were characters recording the origin of this forbidden art.

"...I became obsessed with this bizarre sword move and neglected the true sword dao, ultimately failing to reach the pinnacle... Future generations, take heed: do not use this unless your life is in danger, for fear of the disaster of addiction..."

Seeing the warning on the jade coffin.

Su Fan ignored it completely.

As for the warning not to use it unless one's life is in danger, that didn't apply to him; he could use it whenever he wanted.

Having plenty of lifespan is just that willful.

He opened the jade coffin, and inside was another Forbidden Technique Jade Slip.

Su Fan picked up the jade slip and pressed it against his forehead.

The method of the forbidden art flowed into his consciousness.

A long while later.

Su Fan placed the jade slip back into the jade coffin and closed the grave.

"My talent is still not enough!"

Su Fan sighed.

He found that, for the moment, he was unable to grasp the mysteries of this forbidden art.

According to the records on the jade pendant, the Forbidden Art: Life-Sacrificing Sword was not difficult to practice, and it was quite easy to get started.

After all, it was a forbidden art that burned one's lifespan to unleash a powerful strike.

The cultivation requirements themselves were relatively low.

Even so, Su Fan already felt it was a struggle.

My talent is truly something hard to describe.

Su Fan sighed again.

"But it's not a big problem. I've already doubled my talent today. I'll continue to improve it tomorrow. If I burn a thousand years of lifespan, my talent shouldn't be too bad, right?"

Sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Su Fan began to practice the Forbidden Art: Life-Sacrificing Sword.

He had to possess a certain level of self-preservation ability as soon as possible.

"Although it's a bit difficult to practice, if I spend some time, I can still get started."

Su Fan began to attempt to practice the Forbidden Art: Life-Sacrificing Sword.

After all, this was a forbidden art, and it caused a great drain on one's lifespan.

Normal practitioners would be cautious and follow the steps, never using their lifespan to master a forbidden art.

But Su Fan had an infinite lifespan, so naturally, he would not follow the conventional path.

In order to master it as quickly as possible, he began consuming his lifespan to familiarize himself with the forbidden art from the very start of his practice.

Boom!

In an instant, Su Fan felt as if his mouth was filled with something.

He opened his mouth and spat.

Swoosh!

A faint sword gleam shot out from his mouth.

It was just that the sword gleam was too weak; it vanished after traveling only one meter.

"This strike consumed one year of my lifespan, but the power is a bit weak."

Su Fan gathered his spirits and entered the cultivation state once more.

The more lifespan burned, the stronger the explosive power would be.

As time passed, Su Fan lost count of how many times he had spat out a sword gleam.

Swoosh!

A sword gleam suddenly flew out from his mouth, shooting ten meters away.

It carved a white mark into the ground!

"A strike costing fifty years of lifespan has already surpassed the category of a Mortal Sword, but it still hasn't reached the power of a Mystic Sword!"

As he continued to practice, Su Fan discovered that even with a forbidden art that burned lifespan, it was not easy to unleash great power if one's own strength was too low.

Even having an endless lifespan to burn was not enough.

Moreover, when using a forbidden art to burn lifespan, the lower one's cultivation, the slower the rate at which lifespan could be burned.

To burn more lifespan and unleash a stronger attack, one needed more time to prepare.

In the heat of battle, an enemy would never give you that time!

"Therefore, even if I practice forbidden arts and burn my lifespan, I still need to improve my cultivation. Otherwise, even with an infinite lifespan, I cannot unleash invincible power!"

At this moment, Su Fan had an epiphany.

A low cultivation realm not only hindered the speed of burning lifespan but also affected the power unleashed by burning that lifespan.

For the same consumption of ten years of lifespan, a cultivator with a low realm would unleash power far inferior to that of a cultivator with a high realm.

"However, it's not a big problem. I can already improve my talent. Once my talent is improved, increasing my cultivation won't be difficult."

Su Fan continued to practice the Forbidden Art: Life-Sacrificing Sword.

He did not know how much time had passed, but at one moment, Su Fan opened his mouth, and a sword gleam shot out.

The speed was beyond imagination.

Swoosh!

Ten meters away, a small hole appeared on the ground.

It had been pierced by the sword gleam.

"This strike consumed a hundred years of lifespan, and it is already comparable to the power of a late-stage Mystic Sword!"

Su Fan was pleasantly surprised.

He was only at the mid-stage of the Mortal Sword, yet he had managed to unleash an attack equivalent to the late-stage of the Mystic Sword, crossing realms to strike.

This went to show just how powerful the forbidden technique was.

Of course, the toll it took on his lifespan was equally terrifying.

A single strike had consumed a hundred years of his life.

For an ordinary practitioner in the Mortal Realm, a hundred years of life would have already exhausted their entire lifespan, leading to death.

Moreover, those in the Mortal Realm might not even possess a hundred years of life to burn in the first place!

"The power is immense, but the speed at which I condense this sword strike is a bit slow."

Su Fan frowned slightly.

Burning a hundred years of life to condense this strike required several breaths of time, and this window of vulnerability could easily be exploited by an enemy to kill him!

An enemy would never wait for you to be ready before making their move!

At his current cultivation level, Su Fan could burn fifty years of life in an instant, but a strike fueled by only fifty years of life was ultimately a bit weak.

"With more practice, I can increase the speed at which I burn my lifespan!"

Su Fan continued his cultivation.
