Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

“I recognize your talents. In the future, you are certain to be a remarkable heaven’s genius, whose name will reverberate throughout the Eastern Region. You might even have the chance to appear on the Supreme Gold List!”

“This item should be given to you. Consider it an investment from Senior Sister Liu and myself. If you achieve great success in the future, just give us a helping hand.”

Looking at Liu Jie’s serious demeanor, Jiang Yuan slowly nodded, “Alright.”

He committed Liu Jie’s favor deep in his heart.

Liu Jie also let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, the dilemma is resolved, he thought to himself.

He then walked under the Bodhi tree and said, “Let me try this for you, Brother Jiang!”

After saying this, he picked a round, green Bodhi fruit from the small tree that was about human height and shoved it in his mouth.

After a moment, he smacked his lips and said, “There does not seem to be any special change.”

Jiang Yuan, with a smile on his face, replied, “No, it has already taken effect!”

For Jiang Yuan could see that Liu Jie’s Status Panel had changed.

[Name]: Liu Jie

[Realm]: Fourth Level of the Meridian Breaking Realm

[Inborn Qi Movement]: Body of Blood Fiend (Blue) Proficient Sword Technique (Green) Battle Genius (Green) Outstanding Comprehension (Green) Extraordinary Five Senses (White)

[Outstanding Comprehension]: Your comprehension is inherently far superior to ordinary people, making it easier for you to comprehend the mysteries within any techniques.

Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised. A piece of Bodhi fruit could actually spawn a green-level innate qi movement.

The effect was truly terrifying.

With Liu Jie’s personal demonstration, Jiang Yuan had a clearer understanding of the value of the Bodhi fruit.

Such nature’s gifts that can change a person’s innate qualities were extremely precious in the first place.

Moreover, the Bodhi fruit can improve comprehension.

It’s even more extraordinary and precious!

And the effect is extremely noticeable, being able to spawn a green-level innate qi movement. It’s indeed a strong effect.

But, what a pity!

He sighed to himself.

The innate qi movement that the Bodhi fruit enhances, he already possesses.

So for him, the effect of the Bodhi fruit is of no use.

Thinking of this, he realized.

He needs to take a trip to Lingxiao City afterwards.

There must be items there that can make him acquire a new innate qi movement.

The excess Bodhi fruits can also be traded for resources.

Liu Jie closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.

Then, opening them, a joyful smile appeared on his face, “Indeed it works, it’s no wonder it’s the Bodhi fruit, the effect is so obvious! I feel that my comprehension is completely different now, the previous sluggishness of my brain is gone, now it is incredibly sharp and clear, like parting clouds to reveal the mountain, all the previous bewilderment now seems clear!”

Listening to Liu Jie’s description, Liu Rushi’s eyes also light up, she took off a Bodhi fruit and swallowed it.

After a while, she too opened her eyes and said, “Indeed, the effect is very noticeable! This thing is priceless! It seems I’ve picked up a big bargain, I didn’t have to do anything, yet I received such a precious Bodhi fruit.”

Jiang Yuan laughed, then picked the remaining three fruits and put them into his storage ring.

“What is this, Brother Jiang?” Liu Jie asked with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Yuan laughed, “This thing is useless to me. My comprehension cannot be improved by the Bodhi fruit.”

Liu Jie nodded, without asking further.

Each person makes their own judgments, especially considering Jiang Yuan’s recent performance, he knew that they should not be deduced by common sense.

That the Bodhi fruit was ineffective for him was also quite normal.

At this time, the light screen behind everyone had already healed.

Holding a complete Yin Yang jade pendant can manipulate the power of this space entrance opening and closing.

Jiang Yuan said, “I plan to cultivate here for a period of time, what about you?”

Both Liu Jie and Liu Rushi nodded.

Liu Jie said, “I’ll naturally do the same. Cultivating in this place will lead to a rapid breakthrough, if the divine soul is powerful enough.”

He was incredibly excited, “I am confident that I can break through to the sixth level of the Meridian Breaking Realm very quickly!”

“Me too!” Liu Rushi nodded.

After a while, all three spread out to practice in separate locations so as not to disturb each other.

Jiang Yuan settled in the middle.

As he began his practice, Jiang Yuan immediately felt the intense spiritual energy gathering towards him.

He felt overjoyed. His cultivation speed in this place was several times faster than when relying on a mid-level Spirit Gathering Array.

What’s more crucial is that the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual vein is much gentler than the spiritual energy of the outside world.

He can practice without any breaks.

This, to him, was the biggest opportunity.

Soon, time continued to elapse.

Fifteen days later, Jiang Yuan’s aura suddenly rose significantly.

Spiritual energy, like a tidal wave, rushed into him, and the surrounding spiritual stones were frenziedly drained, becoming somewhat dim.

Liu Jie was awakened by this unusual disturbance and saw this scene not far away.

He smacked his lips and said, “Such dramatic absorption speed. In just over ten days, he has improved from the initial stage of the sixth Meridian Breaking Realm to the seventh.”

“Under this kind of efficiency, isn’t he going to break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm right here?”

With Jiang Yuan’s successful breakthrough, the three resumed their silence.

Another ten days or so later.

Jiang Yuan’s aura rose again.

The tide of spiritual energy was even larger than it was ten days ago.

Liu Jie and Liu Rushi had to wake again, for this movement was too big, the spiritual energy around them began to gather towards Jiang Yuan.

It was impossible for them to cultivate in peace.

“So dramatic!” Liu Rushi muttered.

The two of them had not yet broken through, and Jiang Yuan had already broken through two realms.

Liu Jie was also somewhat helpless. He was originally just about to break through, just one step away.

But because of Jiang Yuan’s grand breakthrough, he had to temporarily stop.

Otherwise, if they both broke through at the same time, he would not be able to compete with Jiang Yuan for the spiritual energy.

Only after Jiang Yuan had completed his breakthrough did Liu Jie rashly increase his energy less than an incense stick burning duration later.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Yuan with a thoughtful expression and full of laughter.

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Liu on breaking through to the fifth level of the Meridian Breaking Realm!”

Liu Jie laughed helplessly, “Brother Jiang, don’t tease me. You’ve achieved two consecutive breakthroughs, reaching the eighth level of the Meridian Breaking Realm, while I’m only at the fifth.”

“Given your prowess, if you call me ‘Senior Brother’ anymore, I’ll not withstand it. Just call me by name from now on!”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “How can we call each other by name? From now on, I’ll still call you Brother Liu!”

“Alright!” Liu Jie laughed.

Once again, the three fell into prolonged cultivation.

Facing such an opportunity, Jiang Yuan wished he could utilize every moment.

The crisis three years from now was always on his mind.

Without strong enough strength, being swept up in the fight between the Qianyuan Imperial Family and the Sects would undoubtedly lead to numerous dangers.

Therefore, under such circumstances, how could he afford to slack off again.

In that major clash of powers, anything less than reaching the Divine Bridge would be like fish in a pond.

A slightest ripple might lead to a tragic death on the spot.

Only after surpassing the Divine Bridge Realm and reaching the Dharma Realm could you truly wield the power to protect yourself.

Jiang Yuan found it hard to believe that in the entire Qianyuan Kingdom, only a handful of people like the Heavenly Sword Mountain Lord possess the power of the Dharma Realm.

A hidden card is a hidden card only if it is unknown to the world.

Therefore, when the Qianyuan Imperial Family can trample on the sects, defeating their temples, using the power of a nation to confront major sects from all over the country in a strive to unify the entire country in one fell swoop three years later.

Their true strength must be unimaginably fearful.
