Getting Started with Longevity

The medicines needed for the first stage of the Longevity Technique were gathered faster than Zhang Xuezhou had imagined.

Many of these medicinal herbs can be purchased with money. Old ginseng is more expensive, while black bear bile can only be obtained by hunters depending on the timing of their hunts, or by hunting the animals yourself.

The ginseng sent by Palace of Peace and Happiness was not only old and aged, but the bear bile was also from a bear that had transformed into Demon Beast, not from an ordinary black bear.

Cai Ma was ahead of the curve in cultivating the Longevity Technique, and his preparation of this first-stage medicine was no different from Zhang Xuezhou's casual refining of the Origin-Nurturing Pill.

"This makes no sense! You're actually using these medicinal herbs to cultivate Fate Technique? Explain this Fate Technique to Master Li!"

Li Shaojun could tell what kind of technique Zhang Xuezhou was practicing, but it was almost impossible for him to obtain the Fate Technique. Zhang Xuezhou remained silent, and Cai Ma ignored Li Shaojun as well.

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm poor. I'm sure I'll be able to cultivate myself someday!"

Li Shaojun's neck turned bright red, clearly showing his envy of Zhang Xuezhou's ability to cultivate the Fate Technique.

He wandered back and forth on Mount Tai, hoping to obtain the Life-Extending Golden Elixir, but he was well aware that his cultivation aptitude was not top-notch, and he could only rely on longevity to increase his margin for error.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou pass away before him in terms of longevity fills him with envy.

"I will tell you a secret of cultivation. If you can remember it and cultivate it properly, I will give you an fortuitous opportunity to seek the Fate Technique in the future!"

"Go ahead and say it! If you've got the guts, say it completely!"

Unable to find peace from the noise, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to tell Li Shaojun a story.

He only stopped talking when Li Shaojun was almost drowsy from listening.

"There's a reason this technique was phased out!"

Li Shaojun forced himself to memorize it, feeling weak and dizzy at the same time.

If he were to practice this kind of ancient art, the time he would spend practicing would definitely exceed the lifespan he would gain.

It's no wonder that Fate Technique telling places great emphasis on innate talent and one's profession.

Those who value natural talent are like Cai Ma, who are suited to practicing the Fate Technique. They are in leisurely professions and have certain resources. Such people can also practice the Fate Technique. After all, these people usually have a lot of time to waste and do not care that the effort is greater than the income. Even if more than 30 years of practice only results in living to 70 or 80 years old, these people will not feel that they have lost out.

"You also have the talent to cultivate the Fate Technique?"

Li Shaojun scanned Zhang Xuezhou from head to toe, feeling that he couldn't see any extraordinary talent in Zhang Xuezhou at all.

If Zhang Xuezhou had exceptionally high talent in cultivation, the other party wouldn't have been chased around like a monkey, jumping up and down, just like him.

But whenever he thought that Zhang Xuezhou was several times more skilled than him in the art of cloud manipulation, he had to admit that Zhang Xuezhou did have some ability.

"You're skilled in flying, so surely you're also skilled in cultivating Fate Technique?" Li Shaojun asked.

Cultivation talent does not mean mastering one method and thus mastering all methods. Most exceptionally talented cultivators are only proficient in one or two Technique Method, and they develop these Technique Method into their trump cards.

Li Shaojun acknowledged that Zhang Xuezhou's leaping ability was indeed impressive, but he didn't think Zhang Xuezhou was skilled in cultivating Fate Technique.

"Haven't you figured out where his talent lies?"

Cai Ma said softly.

She only told Zhang Xuezhou the Longevity Formula once, and Zhang Xuezhou didn't ask Cai Ma a single question. After resolving Li Shaojun's curiosity, Zhang Xuezhou began taking medicine and cultivating.

What would be incredibly difficult for others to memorize, Zhang Xuezhou could do in a single go.

Even after cultivating for so long, Cai Ma still has some confusion regarding the vast amount of cultivation content.

Leaving aside the order of her cultivation of over 30,000 acupoints, even if someone were to write them down in order from one to one thousand, countless people would make mistakes, and only a very few could remain error-free.

Zhang Xuezhou's aptitude for cultivating Technique Method might not be top-notch, but his opponent wouldn't make a mistake.

As long as they don't make mistakes, the other person will complete the process in one go, even if their cultivation progresses slowly, and will succeed in cultivation faster than those with exceptional talent.

Upon witnessing Zhang Xuezhou practicing the Longevity Technique, Cai Ma finally understood the terrifying nature of this Kunlun Holy Son.

If the Technique Method are simple, easy to understand, and focus on physical requirements, this Kunlun Saint Son will not have any advantage. However, as long as he encounters more ancient and complex spells, his opponent's advantage will make him feel hopeless.

I don't understand!

If you don't understand, read it again!

Cai Ma took the heart-clearing herb to protect Zhang Xuezhou during his cultivation practice, but at this moment she felt there was nothing worth protecting.

Zhang Xuezhou's progress in cultivating the "Longevity Manual" was two to three times slower than hers. Cai Ma was able to estimate when Zhang Xuezhou would enter the realm of Fate Technique, thereby adding ten years to his lifespan.

The other party's cultivation speed was slow, but in one go, it was faster than Cai Ma's initial entry into the sect.

It took Cai Ma three days to get the hang of it, but Cai Ma thought Zhang Xuezhou only needed one night.

This advantage will only widen over time; Cai Ma will need three to five years, while Zhang Xuezhou might only need three to five days.

Not to mention Li Shaojun's distress, Cai Ma also felt as if the sky had fallen, feeling that all his years of cultivation had been wasted.

If Zhang Xuezhou has all the necessary cultivation resources, it won't take long for the other party to reach the lifespan of an Earth Immortal.

After comparing them, she felt very depressed, and even the water chestnuts she had in hand suddenly seemed tasteless.

This is indeed a detrimental thing to one's moral character.

It's like an ordinary person working hard all day to earn 300 yuan, while another ordinary person earns 1,000 yuan by being clever. The other person might even earn more after expanding their financial base, and the interest earned from depositing that money in the bank after a year or two would be higher than the former's income from a day's hard work.

They started at the same time, but the gap between them widened and widened until it became unattainable.

"Fortunately, the Holy Son's Evasion Technique haven't reached perfection. Perhaps only his cultivation level and physical condition can limit him!"

If Cai Ma still harbored any illusions, it was because of the limitations imposed by Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation level and physical condition.

Without reaching the True Self Realm, these techniques cannot reach their ultimate potential.

Without the myriad acupoints of the body being spiritually connected, these acupoints could not remain Infinite free and unobstructed.

Cai Ma's advantage lies in the affinity of her body's acupoints, which allows her to cultivate faster than ordinary people.

This is also the wonderful effect of her devouring 'small people', which repeatedly allows her to reach every extreme stage of cultivation.

Moreover, Cai Ma's cultivation was extremely focused, only promoting the development of Fate Technique. The Divine Ability Realm would become the watershed for these techniques.

Without Divine Ability guidance on these acupoint techniques, progress beyond the Divine Ability Realm will be extremely difficult. Even the most talented Divine Lord Zhenyuan of the Sacred Land had to stop progressing on these Evasion Technique.

Cai Ma kept reassuring herself, and kept muttering that Zhang Xuezhou's advantage was only in the early stages, which slowly helped her regain her composure after she was on the verge of collapse.

Even so, as dawn broke and Li Shaojun, who had recovered from his serious injuries, was dozing off, and a golden halo appeared around Zhang Xuezhou, Cai Ma's heart shattered.

Zhang Xuezhou had completely opened up and formed a cycle of the one thousand acupoints in the first stage of the Longevity Technique in just a few hours.

If the medicine were stronger, Cai Ma could pinpoint the target's location much faster.
