Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Tier 3 Health Cultivation Skill, Lifespan: 333

Yang Chan learned from Zhao Yi that among the Cyan Yuan Sect’s Intermediate Pharmacists, Xu Gaocen was the most skilled in Alchemy. That was why he had attended almost every past Pharmacist Exchange Conference, leaving the single remaining spot for the other nine to compete over.

Since he had already secured a spot this time, it meant the other nine Intermediate Pharmacists were basically out of luck.

Gao Yuanlong’s efforts were essentially a waste of time, completely useless.

His only chance of success was if he could actually refine an Elixir, and one on the level of the Three Revolutions Nourishing Viscera Pill at that.

Because Xu Gaocen was capable of refining elixirs like the Three Revolutions Nourishing Viscera Pill, it was no wonder he acted so lazily before. No one said a word when he arrived late and left early. His skill was sufficient, so nothing else mattered.

After the two chatted for a while, Yang Chan went to treat the injured disciples. As for Zhao Yi, if he wanted to successfully refine the Lantian Jade Refining Pill, he would still need to master more knowledge related to Alchemy.

Zhao Yi’s matter was just a small interlude for Yang Chan. He could only offer a little bit of help; beyond that, he was powerless.

Many injured disciples had been sent back recently, and Yang Chan couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was targeting the Cyan Yuan Sect. However, since the Sect Hall Masters and Elders hadn’t said anything, it was not his place to interfere.

He was just a Basic Level Pharmacist; how could he manage so much? He could only continue his daily routine of reading, practicing martial arts, and allocating his points after midnight. And these were the days he enjoyed most.

After following him for a while, Han Bingyu and the other Pharmacist’s Assistants had gradually become familiar with the various skills a Pharmacist needed to master. This included not only emergency treatment methods in the Pharmacy but also identifying the age of various medicinal herbs, the proper placement of medicines, and knowledge of commonly used drugs, all of which they had grasped quite well.

Their coordination had already reached a point that satisfied Yang Chan greatly.

Before long, Yang Chan gleaned some information from the injured disciples. Most of them had been sent back from Yu State, and the reason was a major battle that had broken out there.

The Imperial Family had personally made a move, cleaning up all the major sects that had remained in Yu State, including the local power, Xuanqing Palace.

It was said that Xuanqing Palace was nearly wiped out, with only two Palace Masters and a portion of their disciples surviving.

Furthermore, the matter involved Crown Prince Yang Qian of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, making the situation quite complicated.

Although the Cyan Yuan Sect had previously withdrawn during the final encirclement of the No-Life Evil Cult, they had still left some disciples behind to monitor the situation in Yu State. The injured disciples sent back were a result of this.

It was originally a secret matter, but after the Imperial Family took action, it was no longer a secret. The commotion was simply too great, and quite a few sects were involved.

Rumor had it that even Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters had intervened. The forces left behind in Yu State by the major sects were almost completely annihilated. Such a huge disturbance naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Yang Chan, of course, also heard this news. In response, he could only feel relieved that he hadn’t been made to stay in Yu State. Otherwise, it would have been fraught with danger.

Compared to Yu State, going to White Jade City was so much better. If he were given the choice next time, he would choose White Jade City. Of course, being able to stay in the Cyan Yuan Sect would be even better.

…

’My progress with the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal Cultivation isn’t fast, but after adding more Potential Points, it’s still about to break through to Tier Three Mastery.’

Yang Chan had been focused on his Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal Cultivation during this period. He allocated one Potential Point to it every day and had now nearly reached its current limit.

The time it took was about what he had expected; it was almost three months before he reached the cusp of a breakthrough.

This was despite him practicing the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal every single day. It had taken a considerable amount of time.

One had to remember that his current Talent was extremely Superior—he could be considered a genius. Even so, it had taken this long to reach this stage, which just showed how difficult the Cultivation was. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been like this.

During this time, Yang Chan’s Turtle Breath Body Cultivation Skill had reached Tier Three as he’d hoped, giving him one additional Potential Point and raising his Talent to 27. The increase was relatively small. Ultimately, the Skill Level of this Cultivation Technique was rather low, which was why Yang Chan spent less time on it.

His Lifespan also only increased by eight years, bringing his total to 313. The progress wasn’t much. It was far inferior to the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill, and couldn’t even compare to the Purple Qi Body Cultivation Skill.

As for the Purple Qi Body Cultivation Skill, through daily Cultivation and adding Potential Points, he had also raised it to Tier Three. This Cultivation Technique increased his Talent by three points, bringing it to 30. Although his cultivation speed had improved, there was no qualitative change. It was clear the requirements for the next transformation of his Talent were higher than he had anticipated.

The same went for his Lifespan, which increased by a full twenty years, raising his total to 333. This was a significant boost.

In comparison, his Cultivation breakthrough to Inner Master had only increased his Lifespan by a little over eighty years. This boost was nearly a quarter of that amount. The Cultivation Technique he had specially chosen was indeed far better than the one he had received as a reward.

He had received the Turtle Breath Body Cultivation Skill as an extra reward for his promotion to Official Disciple, which came after a bet between two Hall Masters. The prize was just a randomly selected Cultivation Technique. According to Lin Shiyu, the Steward from the Instructor Hall at the time, it was something to practice in his free time, not something to specifically spend time on.

From this, one could see that the Cultivation Technique was originally very ordinary. It was probably one of the techniques in the Instructor Hall that nobody would choose, making it a rather useless prize for Yang Chan.

Of course, it was far inferior to the Purple Qi Body Cultivation Skill he had chosen, and even more so compared to the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill. Still, it did increase his Talent and Lifespan, so it was acceptable.

After all, the time he had spent cultivating it hadn’t even reached eight years, yet it had increased his Lifespan by that much.

Under normal circumstances, if he had a Cultivation Technique that could increase his Lifespan by eight years after just a few months of practice, he could achieve longevity just by continuing to cultivate it, and his Lifespan would grow ever longer.

After these two Health Cultivation Techniques reached Tier Three, his Essence Qi also saw a noticeable improvement, and his strength and speed increased along with it. Although this improvement was minuscule compared to the leap from External Iron Bone Refining to Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens, any increase at the Inner Master realm was still very good.

This was equivalent to an extra boost, allowing his Combat Power to far exceed that of an ordinary Inner Master, which was a definite advantage.

After all, he was bound to face an Inner Master opponent sooner or later. With his superior strength, dealing with them would naturally be easier. It would be even better if he could kill them instantly, which would also prevent any chance of a reversal.

He never liked to drag out a fight when killing someone. He would only choose to stall for time against an opponent he couldn’t beat. By the same token, against someone he could defeat, he would naturally not dawdle. He wouldn’t give his opponent any time to stall, instead finishing them off and ending the battle directly. This was one of the extra benefits brought by his Health Cultivation Techniques.

For him, this was also a good thing.
