Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 348: Chapter 232: Ye Chanxi’s Arrival! (Extra 20/53 for the Alliance of Silver)
Heavenly Sword Mountain.

“Sword Master, now that the Supreme Mystery Sect has forcibly stormed the Sunset Sect’s gates, the Sunset Sect has become a part of Qianyuan Kingdom’s history. How should we handle this?”

“We just need to watch from the sidelines. The Sunset Sect chose to ally itself with the Qianyuan Kingdom. They brought this on themselves.”

“What about Jiang Yuan?”

“It’s not wise to make him an enemy. Let’s pretend we don’t know anything and leave this matter behind us! This is a battle between heaven geniuses, Wang Yu can’t blame anyone else for his lack of skill. I have my dignity! I would never do something like what Wang Xiao did!”

The Sword Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain slowly added: “You may leave now!”

“Yes, Sword Master!”

…

Eastern Region.

Heaven Killing Pavilion.

“Who do you wish to kill?”

“Jiang Yuan!”

Upon hearing these two words, the man underneath the hood expressed surprise.

However, no one saw his change in expression, his face was always hidden in the dark mist.

“Jiang Yuan is one of the heavenly geniuses of our human race. Killing him would cost extra!”

“Just say how much!”

The masked man responded indifferently.

Backed by the support of the Human King, his words carried confidence.

Placing an assassination order in the Heaven Killing Pavilion was also a move by the Human King.

After all, the Heaven Killing Pavilion claims that anyone could be killed if the price was right, even a Saint.

The hooded man remained quiet for a moment, then slowly said: “Wait, I cannot currently calculate his cultivation realm. His destiny is hidden by the Heavenly Pavilion.”

…

Supreme Mystery Sect.

Jiang Yuan held Shu Xiaoxiao’s life-bound sword, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

“Young Master, what’s wrong?”

“Is someone trying to calculate my destiny?”

Jiang Yuan said with a serious expression.

The long sword in his hand transformed into a ray of light, returning into Shu Xiaoxiao’s body.

In an instant, the darkness dissipated and was replaced by daylight.

Jiang Yuan took out the Destiny Mirror.

This ancient mirror began to tremble frantically.

The spirit of the ancient mirror also sent Jiang Yuan a message. Someone was trying to calculate his destiny, and the ancient mirror was frantically resisting this.

Who could it be?

Jiang Yuan wondered silently.

Holding the Destiny Mirror, he poured his dharma-power into it to strengthen its ability to hide his destiny.

…

Heaven Killing Pavilion.

The hooded man slowly said: “The person you wish to kill possesses a great treasure that can hide his destiny. Our brothers at the Pavilion who have reached great cultivation levels haven’t been able to estimate his cultivation level.”

“You can choose to travel to our Headquarters in the Northern Desert to place the order, or we can dispatch an assassin directly based on the information you provide. However, if your information is incorrect, we cannot guarantee a successful assassination.”

The masked man pondered for a moment.

“Going all the way to the Headquarters seems too much of a hassle. He’s only a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator! Just estimate the cost based on his cultivation realm!”

“Understood, please continue!”

The masked man handed over a scroll: “This is information from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and it contains information about your target, whose cultivation level is not known!”

“Calculate based on the first level of the Dharma Image Realm, and give me a quote!”

Upon hearing this, the hooded man’s pupils instantly shrank.

He remembered a similar event occurred one year ago. Someone came to the Heaven Killing Pavilion to place two assassination orders on Jiang Yuan.

In the end, they didn’t have enough spiritual stones and had to abandon the plan.

He remembered that at that time, Jiang Yuan was only at the fifth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.

Today, this person ordered an assassination based on the first level of Dharma Image Realm. Judging from the information on the scroll, it was certainly the same person.

What kind of monster was he?

Suppressing his shock, the man slowly said: “To kill a cultivator at the first level of the Dharma Image Realm, you’ll need three thousand high-quality spiritual stones.”

“Three thousand?” The masked man was shocked, displaying a stunned expression.

“Yes, three thousand high-quality spiritual stones! For a heavenly genius of the human race who’s not even twenty years old, that’s the price set by our Heavenly Secret Pavilion!”

The masked man: “…”

He was instantly thrown into disarray.

Three thousand high-quality spiritual stones, equivalent to thirty million lower-quality spiritual stones.

This was almost equivalent to the value of two high-quality spiritual treasures.

Would it really cost this much to kill a cultivator at the first level of Dharma Image Realm?

This… this was too expensive!

Taking a deep breath, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Before coming out, he had only prepared two thousand high-quality spiritual stones, worth more than a high-quality spiritual treasure.

He originally thought it was more than enough, but he had underestimated the cost to assassinate Jiang Yuan!

Three thousand high-quality spiritual stones, this was simply too expensive!

He shook his head, deciding to return and consult with his king first.

From his current location, the Qianyuan Kingdom was millions of miles away, making it impossible for the Communication Jade Charm to transmit information over such a distance.

Watching as the masked man shook his head and left the Heaven Killing Pavilion.

The man was not surprised at all, he had seen such situations many times.

The cost of their services was naturally high.

Especially for a young genius like Jiang Yuan, the price increased tenfold or more, compared to those of comparable cultivation levels.

These geniuses represented a broad future, which could not be measured by their present value.

To assassinate these young geniuses, usually their competing forces were behind it.

Regardless of the cost, these rival forces were unwilling to see such geniuses rise.

Because once such young geniuses rise, they possess enough power to overturn a major faction.

He knew that before long, this man would return again, bringing enough spiritual stones. This was inevitable.

Unless the cost of assassination exceeded their wealth.

Otherwise, judging by Jiang Yuan’s current performance, he would be able to overturn most of the forces in this world in a few years at most.

Thinking of this, he felt a bit of regret.

When this man returned next time with enough money, this young genius was bound to meet his end.

Thinking of a potential Saint-level young genius falling into their hands, adding another achievement to the Heaven Killing Pavilion, he was filled with excitement.

His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty glow.

…

Supreme Mystery Sect.

Seeing the Destiny Mirror finally regain its tranquility, Jiang Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

Who is trying to calculate my destiny?

Heavenly Sword Mountain?

Or the Qianyuan Imperial Family?

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Both of these forces were powerful enemies he could not confront at the moment.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m going to enter seclusion. In the future, do not to see any visitors.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded.

Jiang Yuan then returned to his courtyard.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the storage ring that Lu Qingshan had given him and swept through it with his divine sense.

Inside, twenty bottles of high-grade Spiritual Essence Pills were neatly arranged.

He took out a bottle of elixir and placed it in his hand.

“Might as well test the efficacy of this fifth-grade elixir!”

Immediately, a golden elixir fell into his palm.

The scent of herbs filled the entire courtyard.

Jiang Yuan put it in his mouth, swallowing it whole.

Boom——

Like a great sun falling into the stomach, releasing millions of warm streams.

Such a strong medicinal effect.

Jiang Yuan was secretly astonished in his heart.

He hastily began to refine it.

Half a day later, he slowly opened his eyes.

“It increased the progress by about five percent. The medicinal effect is potent, but unfortunately, it doesn’t last long!”

Jiang Yuan sighed slightly.

However, he was very satisfied with this medicinal effect.

This kind of improvement was within his expectations.

After all, he had the Gluttonous Belly, which could absorb and convert far more than most heaven geniuses.”

If it were an ordinary cultivator, a pill like this could only enhance progress by slightly more than twenty percent.

The speed of absorption and refinement would also be far less than his.

This is the difference, and this is the powerful effect of a Gluttonous Belly.

As far as Jiang Yuan, who owns a Gluttonous Belly is concerned, the spiritual stones are used to buy cultivation materials.

While the progress increased by both is not significantly different, the efficiency of cultivation enhancement is worlds apart.”

If there was sufficient time, perhaps the cultivation enhancement brought by the spiritual stones would be somewhat greater.”

But for him now, time is crucial.

Jiang Yuan went back into his cultivation, no longer devouring elixirs.

Instead, he continues to refine the thumbnail of the thousand-year-old great medicine within him.

Time slowly passed.

…

Half a month later.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

Phew——

He exhaled a breath of impure air that had accumulated in his abdomen these days.

He sensed the changes in his body.

“Much better with seventy-five percent progress!”

He nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the three remaining thousand-year-old herbs appeared.

He glanced at the ghostly soul white bone flower.

“There’s no rush. This five-thousand-year-old great medicine, which can enhance the primordial spirit, should be taken later. It is more crucial to break through the realm of cultivation as soon as possible.”

She shifted her gaze to the other two thousand-year-old herbs and picked up a thousand-year-old medicine that looked like a bamboo shoot and put it into her mouth.

Immediately, he began to crunch it up.

“Such a strong life essence! This is a mild drug, suitable for terrestrial cultivators.”

In two or three bites, this thousand-year-old herb shaped like a bamboo shoot entered Jiang Yuan’s belly.

Just as he was about to continue refining the thousand-year-old herbs in his belly.

Dong Dong Dong!

Jiang Yuan frowned, planning to ignore it and continue his retreat.

One sweep of his divine sense, and his face showed surprise.

“It’s her!”

Upon recognizing her identity, Jiang Yuan knew that this was someone he couldn’t avoid seeing!

His voice echoed quietly in Shu Xiaoxiao’s ears.

“Xiaoxiao, bring Sect Master Ye to my courtyard.”

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Shu Xiaoxiao appeared in the front courtyard and hurriedly opened the main gate.

She saw Ye Chanxi, dressed in a black dress, standing outside the mansion, her face calm, neither happy nor sad.

However, she was not as calm inside as she appeared on the outside, but somewhat helpless.

Her own main body was in the middle of practicing a secret technique and couldn’t spare any energy, so she had to come looking for Jiang Yuan again.

She had no choice but to visit once more.

“Sect Master Ye, my Young Master invites you!”

Shu Xiaoxiao gestured.

Then she led Ye Chanxi toward Jiang Yuan’s small courtyard.

Along the way, both of them were quiet, with only the sound of their soft footsteps.

A moment later, Shu Xiaoxiao and Ye Chanxi appeared before Jiang Yuan.

Both of them, one in black and one in white, were enchanting and like immortals, exceptional beauties in the world.

“Sect Master Ye, please take a seat!”

Jiang Yuan gestured with his hand.

Seeing Ye Chanxi slowly taking her seat, Shu Xiaoxiao felt a pang of doubt in her heart.

Is she interested in our Young Master?

The Sect Master of Heavenly Demon Sect, who had helped our Young Master last time, was visiting again this time.

And our Young Master is so outstanding and excellent.

A sense of crisis suddenly sprang up in her heart.

But remembering that she was just a maid, she could only purse her lips in frustration and leave the small courtyard.

Jiang Yuan poured a glass of wine for Chanxi Ye.

“Sect Master Ye, I don’t know what’s the urgent matter for your visit this time?”

Ye Chanxi slowly regained her composure from her thoughts, gave a smile, and looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

However, her identity is not as cold and detached.

She had a smile on her face: “Little brother, shouldn’t a sister come and see you when she has nothing to do?”

Upon hearing this sentence, Jiang Yuan felt somewhat headache.

“Please don’t make fun of me, senior!”

After saying that, Jiang Yuan raised his glass: “Senior, you helped me last time, this glass of wine represents my gratitude.”

“Senior? Do I look that old to you?”

She raised an eyebrow, raising her hand hidden under her sleeve.

Jiang Yuan looked into her eyes and instantly felt a trance.

One seductive sound after another whispered in his ear, stirring the deepest desire in his heart.

Jiang Yuan’s eyes flickered, and he immediately came back to his senses, only to realize a slender jade finger gently pressing against his chin.

Ye Chanxi gently applied force, her breath like orchids: “You better call me sister!”

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, filling his heart with apprehension.

Such a terrifying Enchantment Technique, worthy of a heavenly demon incarnation.

If it weren’t for my ability to see through all illusions, wouldn’t I be at her mercy?

Then, he reached up and grabbed her slim wrist.

“Sect Master Ye, please don’t use the Enchantment Technique on me! My cultivation is limited, and I can’t bear your Enchantment Technique.”

Seeing this, Ye Chanxi was also secretly astonished in her heart. Her illusion techniques are the best of their kind.

Forget about a small cultivator at Jiang Yuan’s Divine Bridge Realm level, even heaven geniuses at the Ninth Level of the Dharma Image Realm who are at the same level as her.

The moment she took a look at them, they would fall into an endless illusion.

How could he possibly snap out of it in a daze?

Could it be some special talent?

Ye Chanxi’s clear eyes stared straight at Jiang Yuan’s pupils.

She saw herself reflected in his pupils, her graceful figure perfectly mirrored.
