Chapter 65: Chapter 54 Where Exactly Are My Limits

Lin Xuankong: Remaining Lifespan of 40 years and 50 days

Life Plate: [Vigorous in Old Age]

First Talent of Life Plate: [Old and Wise] Age 59, Cultivation Speed increased by fifty times

Realm: Transcendence, Third Layer Early Stage

Perfect Qi Blood: 1,649/100,000

Cultivation Technique: [Pine Crane Longevity Technique: Entering the Hall 1/15,000]

The next moment, accompanied by the purple-golden glow of [Vigorous in Old Age], [Pine Crane Longevity Technique: Entering the Hall 1/300].

A look of joy appeared on Lin Xuankong’s face. With the Pine Crane Longevity Technique advancing to the Entering the Hall Realm, his Lifespan had directly increased by a whole fifteen years. Fifteen years... how many fifteen years does an ordinary person’s life have?

Most of the citizens of the Great Marsh Prefecture could only live to about fifty years old, passing away early due to overwork. Their whole life amounted to just three or four of these fifteen-year spans! Yet, he had increased his Lifespan by a full fifteen years in just a month of Cultivation!

Moreover, his Second Layer Late Stage Qi Blood had condensed once again, becoming Perfection Level Qi Blood. His Realm had also ascended to the Third Layer of Transcendence, the same Realm as the Stewards of the Yin Talisman Sect. People like Xu Bei, the red-faced Steward Hu Shuo, and Elder Ma Jiang were all at the Third Layer, though some were in the Early Stage, some Mid-grade, and some Late Stage. Most importantly, he had taken a significant step towards his goal of reaching the Late Stage of the Third Layer before the Demon Slaying Conference!

"Ah, you’ve already reached the Early Stage of the Third Layer? It seems to be just as I predicted, not bad!" Lii Xiaolan’s voice came from behind.

Lin Xuankong turned around joyfully and saw Lii Xiaolan, elegant in her green robe, her beauty like a flower with a moon-like face, standing charmingly.

For some reason, her white fingers were rubbing together oddly, and her pretty embroidered shoes on the ground seemed to be tapping slightly as if her small toes were scratching something.

Lin Xuankong sighed, "The Pine Crane Longevity Technique taught by the Young Lady is truly magical. I don’t know how to thank you!"

Seeing Lin Xuankong turn around, Lii Xiaolan, who had been blinking her large eyes, suddenly froze and quickly turned her pretty face away. "You rascal, how did you tear your clothes to shreds?"

Lin Xuankong looked down at his exposed strong muscles, feeling a bit embarrassed. He clumsily tugged at his tattered clothes. "I’ve finally reached the Third Layer. In my excitement, I accidentally tore my Daoist Robe!"

Lii Xiaolan turned her face aside, frowning. "This time you tore one set. Are you going to tear down the house next time you get excited?"

She complained, but she was too shy to look at Lin Xuankong. Beside them, the long willow branches of the Old Willow Tree swayed gently. It was the turn of spring and summer, and the early summer breeze brought a slight warmth that was quite intoxicating.

Lii Xiaolan suddenly waved her hands repeatedly. "Hurry and wash up, then change out of those torn clothes, or people will think I’ve been mistreating you!"

When Lin Xuankong entered the wooden building, Lii Xiaolan listened to the sound of water coming from inside and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

This old husband of hers! Though she was praised by the Young Mistress as the first genius of the Great Marsh Prefecture, her Cultivation Speed couldn’t compare to his. Although it was partly because she didn’t treat the Pine Skill as her main Cultivation Technique... He had reached the Third Layer in just two or three months, which was just too, too, too, too, too, too, too excessive! He’s really an unadulterated old monstrous Talent! At this rate, in some time, he might really catch up to her Cultivation. By then, what would her position in the household be... Fortunately, her Talent was unique. Even if he caught up to her in Cultivation, he might not necessarily be able to beat her, so he’d still have to obediently buy her pastries and cook for her, hmph! But then again, he was, after all, her husband, the person closest to her in this world besides the Young Mistress... Lii Xiaolan’s clear eyes suddenly became a bit dazed. After some contemplation, her figure flickered and disappeared on the spot!

Moments later, Lin Xuankong finished washing, changed into a fresh Daoist Robe, and went to the backyard, only to find it empty. He was a bit surprised.

At that moment, a shadow flickered beside him, and it was Lii Xiaolan holding a pair of boots.

Lin Xuankong looked at the new boots Lii Xiaolan was holding, somewhat surprised. "My clothes were torn. Why did you bring boots, Young Lady?"

Lii Xiaolan glanced at him.

"The Cultivation of a Third-Layer Martial Cultivator mainly involves deep tempering of internal organs and legs, enhancing Explosive Power and Qi Blood Amount, and improving lightness skills!

Now that you’ve advanced to the Third Layer, your Explosive Power has greatly increased. Ordinary boots will break with a single step, so how could you wear them? Would you change shoes every day?

The pair of boots I just brought are not ordinary. They are made from the Python Skin of a Tier Two Marsh Python Demon and are incredibly durable! Most importantly, these Marsh Python Boots help Third-Layer Cultivators guide Qi Blood. This speeds up the tempering of their legs and enhances the rate at which their Explosive Power and Qi Blood Amount increase. They are essential Treasure Boots for Third-Layer Cultivators!"

She frowned. "The materials you brought back last time, apart from the Essence Blood Pearl and Forehead Scale, were sold for just five thousand taels. These boots cost fifteen hundred taels, enough to buy hundreds of thousands of leek-stuffed pastries!"

Lin Xuankong frowned. "So expensive! Didn’t you say we shouldn’t spend lavishly for the Battle Armor Refining costs recently?"

Lii Xiaolan handed the boots to him. "We can figure out the Refining costs slowly! Besides, buying items to help you improve your Cultivation Speed can’t be considered lavish spending!"

Spending it on me isn’t considered lavish? Lin Xuankong felt a warmth in his heart. "Thank you, my dear!"

Calling me ’my dear’ already, and he hasn’t even treated me to a single dish? Hmph! Lii Xiaolan originally wanted to retort, but seeing his sincere face, she couldn’t get the words out. She stomped her embroidered shoe and turned around, running away.

Lin Xuankong gazed at the Python Skin Boots in his hands, feeling touched.

At this moment, the breeze gently swayed the Old Willow Tree beside them. The long willow branches moved lightly, and the tree trunk, riddled with holes, made strange whimpering sounds in the wind...

「....」

「In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.」

Inside the Great Marsh Hall, in a spacious, square Cultivation Room, over two hundred disciples were sitting upright on their meditation mats, listening to Transmission Steward Xu Bei explain for about half an Hour. Then, they began to silently visualize the first piece of Visualization Jade.

Xu Bei sat leisurely beside them. He felt quite pleased as he stroked the several exquisite Silver Tokens on the belt of his blue Daoist Robe—the Steward Silver Token, Merit Transmission Silver Token, Merit Silver Token, and others. Each Silver Token symbolized his honor, representing his strength and contributions. Stroking these Silver Tokens, his eyes carried a hint of coldness and contempt as he looked at Lin Xuankong.

Lin Xuankong, sitting on a meditation mat among the leading disciples, ignored Xu Bei’s gaze. After adjusting his breath, he calmed his mind and looked at the first Visualization Jade.

After three cups of tea’s time, Lin Xuankong withdrew his Heart Spirit from the visualization and sensed the new eleventh and twelfth Divine Thunder Roots in his body. He raised his eyebrows slightly, showing surprise and joy.

In fact, during his Cultivation yesterday, he had already nurtured the ninth and tenth Divine Thunder Roots within his body.

Ten Divine Thunder Roots meant that once his Yin Talisman Technique reached the Initial Glimpse Realm, he could have ten thunders around him, becoming the most talented Cultivator in the Yin Talisman Sect in decades, second only to Jiang Yuran! However, after visualizing today, he had nurtured two more Divine Thunder Roots within his body!

This meant his compatibility with the Yin Talisman Technique was even stronger than Jiang Yuran’s. In the future, if he reached the Same Tier as Jiang Yuran, his Yin Talisman Thunder’s power would also surpass Jiang Yuran’s by a considerable margin! Even though Lin Xuankong had expected this, sensing those Divine Thunder Roots within him still made him excited and incredibly joyful!

Now, with twelve Divine Thunder Roots, if he visualized the Jade again tomorrow, would he have a chance to further increase the number of Divine Thunder Roots? What is my limit? Thirteen? Fourteen? Fifteen? Or more?
