Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Kong Nian looked deeply at Jiang Yuan, his eyes filled with surges of surprise.

He very much wanted to boast to the other Chiefs on the platform who were shocked.

Did you underestimate him, at Spiritual Sea Realm level seven or eight?

He must have already entered the Divine Bridge Realm, and not just stepping into it.

His understanding of the Unity of Heaven and Man has surpassed me, and he has likely touched on that profound state.

How could he only be at Spiritual Sea Realm?

Just then, a woman leapt onto the high platform from below the ring.

“Master!”

She respectfully paid homage to Kong Nian.

Kong Nian slightly nodded, “This is your Senior Brother Jiang Yuan!”

The woman also respectfully bowed to Jiang Yuan, “Pleased to meet you, Senior Brother Jiang Yuan!”

Jiang Yuan took a glance at her, then opened his Status Panel for a look, slightly nodded, “Your talent is not bad!”

Kong Nian also revealed a slight smile, “Although it can’t be compared with you, it’s indeed not bad!”

“I, this old man, will be entering the coffin soon, and there are not many who sincerely want to be my students!”

He thought back to He Mingyuan from before, then let out a long sign.

Jiang Yuan showed a smile, took a look around him.

At this moment, it was the grand occasion of the Seven Peak Martial Arts Congress. Even the disciples who didn’t have the qualifications to participate in this grand occasion were now watching from below the ring.

They were all cheering enthusiastically.

Someone even shouted, “Senior Brother Li, come on! I’ve put all my possessions on you!”

At this time, as he appeared, more and more gazes gathered here, focused on him.

Jiang Yuan has been the legendary myth of the Supreme Mystery Sect for the past two years.

Especially after coming out of Pearl Cave, it’s full of topicality.

That resulted in Jiang Yuan’s legend being circulated all around the Sect even though he disappeared for a year.

Those who had never seen Jiang Yuan before, after fermenting over the past year, were even more curious about Jiang Yuan.

Seeing the grand scene below, Jiang Yuan knew that it was the best time for Kong Nian to take the longevity fruit.

In the eyes of everyone, to prolong his life by a hundred years and rejuvenate his youth.

This topic is extremely popular!

In this way, from now on, the Heaven Lead Peak will become the most popular among all currents, especially when Kong Nian steps into the Dharma Realm in the future.

Heaven Lead Peak will definitely rise again.

Jiang Yuan immediately took out a peach from his bag that was bigger than a fist.

The moment this item came out, a faint fragrance continuously dispersed.

Everyone who smelt this scent, their bodies instinctively conveyed an extreme desire.

The prolonging of one’s lifespan was the most instinctive desire of any living being.

“This is…” Kong Nian’s pupils constricted, “The longevity fruit?”

Jiang Yuan faintly nodded, “Yes, it’s indeed the longevity fruit! Senior, this is the longevity fruit that I specially seized for you in the Pearl Cave. This is enough to prolong your life for a hundred years and let you rejuvenate.”

Gulp–.

Kong Nian gulped, his eyes were slightly reddish.

He clearly knew how terrifying the value of the longevity fruit was.

He once thought about such a heavenly treasure as the longevity fruit. If he could prolong his life for a hundred years, he believed he definitely could reach the Dharma Realm.

But this item is too rare, and very hard to come by.

Even when it does occur, it only appears in large scale auction houses in the Eastern Region, where the price is often inflated to the sky, and no one knows where it will stop at.

In the Qianyuan Kingdom, only two have appeared in the past few hundred years in the Pearl Cave. And including the one in Jiang Yuan’s hand, it is three.

Normally speaking, he, being at the ninth level of the Divine Bridge Realm, doesn’t qualify to acquire such a heavenly treasure.

For the person in need, this item can’t be measured by its normal value, it is a precious item that can’t be bought with money.

The longevity fruit in Jiang Yuan’s hand also instantly gathered everyone’s attention.

People like Wu Yin were even more red-eyed, and their bodies instinctively emanated an extreme desire.

Older people like him, the instinctive desire for this item that their bodies emitted was even greater than that of the younger geniuses.

Wu Yin was even somewhat unable to suppress his own primal impulse.

Longevity fruit, something that can prolong life by a hundred years.

The remainder of his lifespan was less than a hundred years.

If he could eat this longevity fruit, it would be equivalent to doubling his lifespan, adding another hundred years, and might even give him hope for further progress.

Creating a primordial spirit, condensing a dharma-nature, and stepping into the Dharma Realm.

If he achieves this step, how could the value of this item be measured only by its outward appearance?

Jiang Yuan felt the burning gazes around him and calmly said, “Elder, stop staring, hurry up and ingest it for refining!”

Kong Nian also heavily nodded, “Alright, I won’t refuse then, this item is indeed very important to me, extremely important.”

He took the longevity fruit from Jiang Yuan’s hand.

In two or three bites, it was swallowed as if eating a swallow’s date and entered his stomach.

Everyone who saw this was filled with a sense of regret.

Now that the longevity fruit had entered Kong Nian’s stomach, there were no more variables.

Seeing Kong Nian eat the longevity fruit, Jiang Yuan finally felt reassured.

He then drew the strands of Golden Qi of Luck from him, these forces of luck instantly flowed into his Status Panel.

The numbers on the Status Panel abruptly fluctuated a little, reaching 1469 strands.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the Status Panel, then closed it, and quietly waited for Kong Nian’s changes.

He also wanted to know whether the effects of the longevity fruit were as miraculous as the rumors.

Soon after.

Only after the time it took to brew a pot of tea.

As Kong Nian refined it, he began to change.

The pale, withered hair turned black strand by strand.

The wrinkles on his face gradually smoothed out, and his humped figure grew more and more upright.

From inside to outside, he began to exude a strong vitality, much like the spring returning to a withered tree.

Such fast effects, Jiang Yuan was secretly amazed.

At this moment, the competition below had paused temporarily.

All eyes were on Kong Nian.

The Chiefs were certainly the same.

Including the elders watching from the stands, their ages were even greater than the chiefs, and their eyes revealed extreme envy.

Gradually…

The changes on Kong Nian’s body became faster and more intense.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea…

By now, he has undergone earth-shattering changes.

His white hair turned pitch black, and his wrinkled face became incredibly rosy, as smooth as a newborn baby’s skin.

The aura of old age had entirely left him.

If not seen with their own eyes, everyone wouldn’t have recognized this as the Chief of Heaven Lead Peak, Kong Nian.

[Name]: Kong Nian

[Realm]: Nine layers of Divine Bridge Realm

[Innate Luck]: Late Bloomer (purple) Accumulate Thinly and Launch Thickly (blue) Controlling Objects like a God (blue) Formation Apprentice (green) Eccentric Genius (green)

Jiang Yuan quietly glanced at his status panel.

Late Bloomer.

Senior Kong Nian, I hope you can genuinely bloom late this time.

At this moment…

Boom

A thunderous sound suddenly emanated from Kong Nian’s body, and his bones crackled.

Even though he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his body inadvertently rose by several centimeters.

The sound of his qi and blood rushing within his body was clearly audible.

“Worthy of being a longevity fruit, a mysterious treasure between heaven and earth, it is truly a metamorphic item for Kong Nian!” Nie Xuan exclaimed, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Chief Mu of the Divine Maiden Peak also agreed with a full face: “Yes! Kong Nian has extended his life span by a hundred years; his future step into the Dharma Realm is nearly guaranteed.”

“After today, it won’t be long before we will have a great cultivator in the Dharma Realm sitting in our Supreme Mystery Sect, and we will finally not be inferior to others.”

The elders nodded, revealing a hint of joy on their faces.

Suddenly…

An extremely strong divine soul fluctuation emanated from Kong Nian’s Spiritual Sea, affecting the entire field.

Everyone, feeling such a change, suddenly turned their eyes to him.

“This is…” Nie Xuan’s eyes widened, seemingly some disbelief in his eyes.

Wu Yin was also like this, his pupils suddenly contracted, looking extremely shocked.

Chief Mu slowly said: “Kong Nian intends to make a one-shot effort to condense his primordial spirit.”

Jiang Yuan looked at Kong Nian in front of him and nodded approvingly.

There was no problem with Kong Nian’s choice.

He had already accumulated up to this one final step.

Now he has extended his lifespan by a hundred years, and his body has also gained tremendous vitality.

Just like a rotten tree coming to life, and an old tree sprouting buds.

It can be said that now is the best state he has ever been in, and his spirit is at its peak.

Under such circumstances, it is also the best time to condense the primordial spirit.

Seeing that Kong Nian was in such a critical state, Jiang Yuan also became cautious.

This could be said to be Kong Nian’s most vulnerable time, and any distraction could cause a discrepancy.

He would surely suffer a divine soul injury.

Once the divine soul is injured, the condensation of the primordial spirit becomes a vain hope.

Wanting to get such an opportunity again, one doesn’t know when that could be.

After all, physical injuries are easy to heal, but divine soul injuries are hard to recover.

Although this was the Supreme Mystery Sect, Jiang Yuan still did not dare to let down his guard completely.

Only caution can make the ship sail for ten thousand years!

Nie Xuan’s face also showed tension: “What do you think, can Kong Nian condense his primordial spirit?”

“He should be able to! Kong Nian’s accumulation is already deep enough, and he has already walked to this point.”

Chief Mu also nodded slightly: “There should be no big problem, what we have to be careful about is not to disturb Kong Nian at this time. Once Kong Nian successfully condenses his primordial spirit, stepping into the Dharma Realm would be just a matter of course.”

“Correct!” Wu Yin also nodded approvingly: “Shall we go over?”

Jiang Yuan’s gaze swept over them, and he said lightly: “I’ll be here!”

As this gaze swept over, whether it was Nie Xuan or Wu Yin, they all felt as though they had been scanned by the gaze of an ancient beast.

They instinctively shuddered, their hearts stopping beating, and their breathing stalled.

It was only when Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze.

The one took a deep breath.

At this time, their eyes were full of horror.

They all chose to secretly communicate.

“What was that just now…” Nie Xuan’s voice rang: “Why was Jiang Yuan’s gaze so terrifying?”

“There’s only one explanation!” Chief Mu said solemnly: “He possesses the strength to easily suppress us!”

“This…this is impossible!” Wu Yin’s voice was full of disbelief.

“If not, why would his gaze make our hearts stop beating? This feeling, only when facing the warning gaze of an invincible creature, it will be like this! I have experienced it once before!”

The three were immediately silent.

Even though they instinctively denied it, Jiang Yuan’s warning gaze was neither an illusion nor a hallucination.

All three of them had their hearts stop beating at the same time.

The other two Chiefs looked at the three people with curious expressions, revealing their doubts.

“Chief Nie, Chief Wu, Chief Mu, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly have such a weird expression?”

Nie Xuan hesitated for a moment, then sighed for a few breaths, and then slowly told the two chiefs what had just happened.

The Chief of Wushan Mountain, who looked like a young girl and was even as tall as a girl of blooming age, opened her small mouth: “This…this is impossible!”

Nie Xuan chuckled and sent her a message: “I also find it impossible, but I have to believe what’s in front of me.”

“Think about it carefully, it has only taken Jiang Yuan a little over a year to step from being a mortal into the Spiritual Sea Realm.”

“Now, entering the Pearl Cave for one year, anything is possible in such a miraculous place!”

The Chief of Wushan Mountain was silent, staring at Jiang Yuan with wide eyes.

“What do you say, what is his current cultivation level?”

Nie Xuan shook his head slightly and continued to transmit his voice: “I don’t know, but it’s definitely not below us, and his true combat power is far above ours, maybe it’s at three or four levels of the Divine Bridge Realm!”

Hearing Nie Xuan’s guess, the Chief of Wushan Mountain kept looking at Jiang Yuan, her eyes filled with wonder.

“If it is really so, he is too strong!”
