Chapter 55 The Princess of Vitality
Back in the cabin, Fan Zhou sat on the bed and quietly circulated his internal energy.
It has been two months since he broke through the third level of fetal breathing.
For the past two months, he has been working hard at the forging workshop, studying the key points of forging thirty-six steels, while also diligently practicing swordsmanship and honing his internal skills.
With the help of the Yin-Yang Four Phases Sword at the Great Perfection realm, plus the two spirit stones donated by Tian Youliang, he has made great progress during this period and has reached the Perfection of the Bone Tempering Realm.
Theoretically speaking, he had already reached the limit of progress in the early stages of fetal breathing.
The only option is to try to break through to the mid-stage of fetal breathing and reach the marrow cleansing realm.
But Fan Zhou knew he had another path.
That is--
"Heavenly Craftsmanship Furnace, give me some more firewood!"
The Heavenly Craftsmanship Furnace within his body responded immediately, its crimson lid lifting and dazzling golden light filling every corner of his body, while a wealth of cultivation techniques and experience continuously flooded into his mind.
The second level of the Longevity Technique has finally been forged!
The second level of the Longevity Skill corresponds to the Yi Jin realm. When one reaches the perfect level, the tendons and ligaments throughout the body become extremely flexible, the muscles become strong and powerful, and it can even maintain one's spirit, greatly enhancing the health benefits.
Fan Zhou quietly savored these sensations, and the energy within his body began to circulate, passing through hundreds of acupoints and flowing through most of the meridians, surging like a river, easily altering the meridians throughout his body.
A feeling of relaxation spread throughout my body, tinged with a slight pain.
Like a seed breaking through its shell, tender branches push aside the oppressive rocks.
This vibrant energy broke through his limits, bringing him to a completely new realm, and the gap in his cultivation that he could not improve before appeared again.
"This feeling is almost like a second puberty."
Fan Zhou finished his practice and adjusted his breathing, then jumped off the bed and stretched his muscles.
He could clearly feel himself becoming stronger and more energetic.
This represents a comprehensive breakthrough from the physical body to internal energy, and then to the spirit.
"This is only the second level. I wonder what it would be like if one cultivated the Longevity Technique to its perfect state?"
Fan Zhou was in high spirits and full of hope for the future.
He connected with the Heavenly Crafting Furnace in his mind and began to forge the third level of the Longevity Technique.
"The third level of the Longevity Technique: Jade Tree and Golden Branches. Upon reaching its perfect state, the entire body's bones undergo a complete transformation, becoming as lustrous as jade and as resilient as gold. Strength increases dramatically, capable of withstanding the blows of ordinary swords and axes."
[Forging Material: Sixty Days' Worth of Stored Blood Essence.]
Forging time: 60 days (starting after forging materials are stockpiled)
"Begin forging?"
Fan still chose yes.
"This third level seems to offer a significant boost."
He wasn't surprised by the increase in forging time, since cultivation techniques generally become more difficult as you progress.
"Sixty days' worth of stored essence blood is nothing. I also have two ounces of Spirit-Nourishing Fungus, some leftover Blood Centipede Wine, and Blood Chicken. That should be enough."
"As for the two months of forging time, it's nothing. I have a lot of things to do, and it will pass quickly."
Fan Zhou now has to improve his forging skills, rebuild his Yi Jin Jing, and prepare to break through to the fourth level of the Fetal Breathing Realm. He has a lot of things to do.
"However, the most important thing right now is to get some spirit sand."
Having cultivated for so long, Fan Zhou has come to deeply appreciate the benefits of having money to cultivate immortality.
But since he bought the Bone Tempering Pill last time, he really doesn't have a single penny left.
Fortunately, the people from the Gumi tribe will be here tomorrow, so he can try setting up a stall and selling some of his unwanted items.
Thinking of this, Fan Zhou took out a dagger from a box under the bed.
This dagger has a simple design, a plain wooden handle, and is entirely black, except for the blade, which is bright and cold, with stepped patterns that make it look incredibly sharp.
This was the dagger he had forged before, finally finished before the arrival of the Gumi tribe.
"Hopefully I'll find someone who knows its value and sell it for a good price."
Fan Zhou suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, most people who know their stuff won't buy it. It's better to find a sucker."
…………
The next morning.
Because they were to welcome the people from the Gumi tribe, all the disciples of the weapon forging workshop dressed neatly and arrived early outside the market to wait.
This area has long been cleared out, making it suitable for the Gumi tribe's troops to be stationed.
Not far away was the newly built town by the villagers, but they were not allowed to come over and could only watch from afar.
"Why hasn't the Gumi tribe arrived yet?"
Standing in the crowd, Peng Yue couldn't help but grumble; he had been waiting for this for ages.
"What's so great about the Gumi tribe? It's just a tribe from Fujian. Why give them such a grand show?" Luo Yu said impatiently.
"They'll be our biggest customers in the future, so it's no big deal to be polite."
Chen Sheng, however, remained unhurried.
"And look, not only is it Boss Qin, but even Senior Sister Shen Yusheng has come. It's clear that the sect values the Gumi tribe very much."
At the very front of the line, Qin Zhiyuan and Shen Yusheng stood side by side, chatting leisurely.
Fan Zhou was also somewhat puzzled, "Why have Uncle Qin and the others just been waiting? Shouldn't they send someone to pick up the Gumi tribe?"
Chen Sheng's expression shifted. "Most likely, another elder went to greet them. I wonder which one it is."
The group paused their conversation and waited silently.
Just before noon, several golden rays finally flew in from the horizon.
"It's a snake!"
One of the disciples shouted.
From a distance, Fan Zhou could see that those golden lights were all enormous golden feathered serpents.
These feathered serpents flapped their fleshy wings and dragged a golden palace that radiated dazzling light with chains, like a divine dragon driving the sun.
"Is the Gumi tribe so powerful, with such a grand display?"
Fan Zhou's mouth dropped open; this was completely different from the style of those mountain villagers.
Peng Yue and Luo Yu were also shocked, deeply stunned by what they saw.
"The Golden Feathered Serpent is the god of worship of the Gumei tribe. Ordinary people can only worship it, but only royalty can command it."
Chen Sheng's expression was serious. "The person who came this time can actually control six feathered serpents. He is very likely the eldest son of the Great King of Gumi."
"What is the Gumi royal family like?" Fan Zhou asked curiously.
"The royal family of the Gumi tribe all have the blood of the feathered serpent flowing through their veins. They are all exceptionally good-looking and possess extraordinary talents. Their most distinctive feature is that they have golden eyes," Chen Sheng explained.
Fan Zhou was even more surprised, "Humans and monsters can reproduce, won't they turn into monsters?"
Peng Yue explained, "Generally, when a Qi-refining demon combines with a human, a monster will indeed be born. However, if it is a Foundation Establishment demon, it can basically maintain its human form."
Chen Sheng shook his head slightly, "I have heard that the feathered serpent worshipped by the Gumi tribe is not a demon, but a true deity."
"Gods..."
Everyone remained silent.
This is far too far removed from their lives.
People around were talking excitedly. Although they had not yet seen the true face of the Gumi tribe, these legends had already made everyone look forward to it.
"quiet."
At the very front of the group, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly spoke, his voice deep and resonant:
"Disciples, follow me to welcome Princess Gumi. Do not be impolite!"
Princess!
Fan Zhou and the others exchanged glances, their expressions all showing surprise.
"I wonder what kind of princess she is?"
