Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 519: Chapter 332: The Seed Blossoms, a new Innate Qi Movement! (Monthly Ticket Addition 1/9)
 

Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Jiang Yuan looked back at the door.

“Young Master? What’s the matter?”

“Someone has arrived,” Jiang Yuan replied casually.

“Who’s arrived?” An expression of confusion crept onto Old Ma’s face.

“Li Hong!”

A faint smile spread across Jiang Yuan’s face.

He was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect Li Hong, a disciple of the Sunset Sect, to still be in Lin’an County.

This was somewhat intriguing!

Li Hong was an outer disciple of the Sunset Sect, and had somehow survived when the Sect had been obliterated.

More amazingly, he had transcended his mortal state.

And yet he was still here in Lin’an County?

Lin’an County was now the territory of the Supreme Mystery Sect.

At this point, Old Ma also looked enlightened.

“It turns out it’s the County Honour! He probably heard that Young Master was back and hurried over to pay his respects!”

“Oh?” Jiang Yuan looked surprised, “Uncle Ma, is Li Hong still the County Honour of Lin’an County?”

“Yes!” Old Ma nodded.

While they were talking, a young escort ran over.

“Young Master, the County Honour is requesting to see you at the entrance!”

“Let him in,” said Jiang Yuan.

“Yes!”

The young escort looked at Jiang Yuan with admiration.

The County Honour was waiting outside!

He had the power of life and death over hundreds of thousands in Lin’an County—an undeniable local tyrant.

Yet, he had to wait outside, awaiting the summons of the Young Master.

For this escort, the impact was intense and immediate.

In no time at all, Li Hong came towards Jiang Yuan, with a stern-faced man behind him.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang,” said Li Hong respectfully.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the insignia on Li Hong’s chest and smiled faintly.

“Have you become a disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect?”

“Yes!” Li Hong intoned respectfully, “Thanks to Senior Brother Jiang. If I hadn’t known you, I might have been killed by now!”

“I see!”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, beginning to understand why Li Hong had emerged unscathed.

Then, Jiang Yuan asked, “You have become a meridian breaker. Why are you still staying in Lin’an County?”

“I wish to anchor Lin’an County for Senior Brother and ease your worries!” Li Hong replied humbly.

Feeling Jiang Yuan’s gaze on himself, Li Hong’s heart surged with apprehension.

Each breath felt like a year.

“Good!” Jiang Yuan finally said.

On hearing this, Li Hong finally relaxed.

Then Jiang Yuan said, “As long as nothing happens to Lin’an County, I won’t let you down. If you encounter any trouble that you can’t solve, contact the Sect directly and remember to mention my name!”

“Yes, Senior Brother!”

A flash of excitement ran through Li Hong’s heart. He knew he had made the right gamble.

Then he raised his head and said, “Senior Brother, I will take my leave now!”

“Alright.” Jiang Yuan nodded.

Leaving with the man behind him, Li Hong quickly turned and departed.

Old Ma swished his tongue, “I didn’t expect the County Honour to address the Young Master as Senior Brother!”

Jiang Yuan just smiled, “Uncle Ma, you might not know this, but Lin’an County is now under the jurisdiction of my Sect, and Li Hong is nothing more than a disciple.”

“So that’s how it is!” Old Ma nodded in sudden realization.

Then he said, “The Young Master becoming an immortal really is different. If your father could see this, he would die in peace!”

Jiang Yuan replied, “So, Uncle Ma, rest assured. Strive to transcend, and maybe you could surpass my father one day.”

Old Ma’s eyes widened, a look of surprise written all over his face.

“Young Master, what do you mean by that?”

Jiang Yuan just chuckled, “Keep it a secret! You might understand one day!”

…

The next day.

Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Jiang Yuan walked out of his room.

“Young Master! Did you sleep well?”

Shu Xiaoxiao offered a light smile.

“Pretty good! It’s more comfortable here!”

Jiang Yuan nodded.

A thought crossed his mind.

Luck Power +10.

Luck Power +10.

Luck Power +10.

Following this, three strands of golden miasma merged into his status panel. He then expended five strands of luck energy to nurture the luck seed.

[Luck Seed has matured. Do you wish to activate?]

Seeing this familiar prompt, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

“Young Master, have you found something good?”

Seeing this, Shu Xiaoxiao asked with a light smile.

“It’s a secret!”

Jiang Yuan chuckled, then said, “Xiaoxiao, help me prepare some hot water.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao quickly complied.

Jiang Yuan returned to his room.

Then, with another thought.

[Yes!]

[Activating Low-level Luck Seed…]

[You have obtained a new Innate Luck: Uncommon aptitude (Green)]

Seeing the prompt before his eyes, Jiang Yuan sighed softly in his heart.

What a pity!

He had ended up acquiring a green-level Innate Luck. He had somehow managed to land on this low-probability event.

However, thinking again, he mused, Just as well!

After all, it was merely a low-level seed, fit enough to be the sacrificial pawn!

It wouldn’t deprive me of too much Luck Power.

The high-level Luck Seed that would eventually be returned by Qin Yun was the real deal.

Lastly, he took a look at his status panel.

[Uncommon Aptitude]: Far superior aptitude in the path of cultivation than the average person.

In the next moment, his mind flickered with a thought.

[Successfully consumed 100 strands of Luck Power, evolved Talent Nonpareil (Green) into Exceptional Talent (Blue)]

[Exceptional Talent]: Your talent far surpasses that of ordinary people. It makes learning martial arts, cultivating techniques, and breaking through realms much easier for you than for the average person.

Seeing the prompt before his eyes, he nodded slightly.

Indeed!

If he upgraded again, it would likely be Unparalleled Talent (Purple).

Thinking of the effects of Unparalleled Talent, Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly.

There was no need to waste two thousand strands of Luck Power for now.

Unparalleled Talent, this innate Luck Power, is a premium Luck Power blessing for others.

It could help them far surpass ordinary people in all aspects of cultivation and realm breakthrough efficiency.

The advance in cultivation and realm is the very foundation of all else.

Its importance cannot be underestimated.

But for me…

Jiang Yuan shook his head again, because it’s rather ordinary!!

The bonus from this innate Luck Power is comprehensive, but at my stage, I no longer need such a comprehensive effect.

Having thought of this, Jiang Yuan completely abandoned the idea of further upgrading.

He then opened up his Personal Dashboard for a peek.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: Dharma Realm Level 8 (17%)

[Primordial Spirit]: 89.9

[Physical Body]: Second Secret Realm

[Techniques]: True Dragon Treasure Art (Small Success), Primordial Spirit Sword Art (First Level), Indestructible Real Body (Second Level), Technique of Bone Tempering (Creating of Divine Bones), Technique of Devouring Heaven (Great Success)…

[Innate Luck Energy]: Godlike Golden Body (Gold), Devouring God Body (Gold), Godlike True Body (Gold), Ancient Double Pupils (Gold), Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo (Gold), Five-colored Divine Light (Gold), Exceptional Talent (Blue)…Protection of Luck (Blue)

[Luck Power]: 3372 strands

[Luck Seed]: None

[Karma Chance]: Activate

After peeking at his own Personal Dashboard.

Jiang Yuan secretly said, it’s time to digest resources and break through to the Four Extremes Realm.

And to also open up the third Secret Realm of the physical body.

Following these two paths would inevitably lead to a significant increase in my strength.

…

Afterwards, after taking a bath, Jiang Yuan said goodbye to Uncle Ma and left Lin’an County.

The upcoming great tribulation was always on his mind.

He didn’t have much time to rest anymore.

He still had a lot to do now.

The Four Extremes Realm was already unobstructed for him, so there was no need to waste time.

He could open up the third Secret Realm in his physical body anytime.

And he just got a message from the Supreme Mystery Sect that the head of the Tianjian Mountain, Gu Shaoshang, is coming to visit.

When he learned of this information, Jiang Yuan knew that another deposit of spiritual stones was coming in.

…

Supreme Mystery Sect.

Jiang Yuan, along with Shu Xiaoxiao and Birdy Huang, suddenly appeared in front of his Mansion.

“Greetings, Daoist friend Jiang!”

Gu Shaoshang bowed.

Then he took out a Heaven and Earth Bag and continued, “Daoist friend, please check. There are five thousand superior-quality spiritual stones in here!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan took the Heaven and Earth Bag from his hand.

With just a sweep of his divine sense, he confirmed that there were exactly five thousand superior quality spiritual stones inside.

Jiang Yuan gave a slight nod: “We are square!”

Gu Shaoshang also nodded: “Since we are square, I shall take my leave!”

After saying this, he turned into a sword light and disappeared into the sky.

Luck Power +7.

Jiang Yuan took a look at his Status Panel and then closed it.

Then he said, “Xiaoxiao, wait for me here. I will be away for a few days!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao obediently nodded.

She knew that her master was going to the great city in the Eastern Region to convert all the resources he possessed into cultivation materials.

She then took out several storage rings.

“Young Master, all the things have been sorted and packed.”

“Good job!”

Jiang Yuan ruffled her hair.

Then he took Birdy Huang from his shoulder and handed it over to Shu Xiaoxiao.

“I’m off!”

After saying this, Jiang Yuan directly employed the small movement technique and left the place.

…

Tianhe City.

Jiang Yuan walked out of Yunmuyao’s Palace.

This trip was fruitless.

According to her maid, Holy Daughter Yun Muyao had entered the Battle of Heaven’s Chosen yesterday.

Having learned of this, Jiang Yuan could only sigh softly.

The wave of pity swept through his heart.

It had been more than a month since he last saw her.

So that meant the Luck Power accumulated on Yun Muyao had already exceeded three hundred strands.

He was a step late, which was undoubtedly a significant loss.

However, he was temporarily helpless about the Battle of Heaven’s Chosen.

All he knew was that the Battle of Heaven’s Chosen was an incredibly mysterious place, a separate, mysterious space independent of both the human and the fairy worlds.

To enter it, a specific charm was needed.

The space was said to have been opened up by supreme beings from the upper realm in ancient times.

The original purpose of this space was to nurture the chosen ones of the two worlds.

It was filled with endless opportunities and was connected to the source of both worlds. The chosen ones of the two worlds were all trained in this mysterious space.

However, during the extinct event in ancient times, the space was also split in half.

Half belonged to the lower world, and half to the upper world.

The chosen ones of the two worlds also lost contact with each other.

But its effect did not diminish and it remained an excellent place for training the chosen ones of the two worlds.

The Battle of Heaven’s Chosen, this mysterious space, is still connected to the source of the two worlds and can produce many treasures that have disappeared in the outside world.

These extinct treasures are converted from the source of the upper world.

Jiang Yuan, of course, craved the Battle of Heaven’s Chosen.

Those who could enter it truly were the chosen ones, most likely possessing Purple Innate Luck Energy.

Even rarer in the outside world was Golden Innate Qi Yun, which could also be seen there.

This was the place Jiang Yuan valued the most.

As long as he could get in there, he could harvest a large amount of Luck Power from them, and quickly upgrade his Innate Luck Power.

However, to enter it, Jiang Yuan knew that two conditions had to be met.

The first requirement was a charm.

The second requirement was the appropriate age.

For those under the Immortals, they must not be older than a quarter of their total life expectancy. Only they are eligible to enter.

He naturally met this requirement.

But when it came to the first one, he was helpless.

This charm was too rare, and even if it appeared on the market, he did not have the capacity to obtain it.
