Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Jiang Yuan felt a tide of strong medicinal power flooding into his body.

Originally, he had a hundred and eight trillion microparticles in his body.

Since withstanding a blow from the Venerable of Liuyun Ridge, a large number of his microparticles were annihilated by his strike.

He also lost 10% of his physical body’s vitality.

However, all these microparticles were reborn in response to his thoughts.

but these new microparticles were exceptionally weak and paled in comparison to the remaining 90% of previous microparticles.

All these days, his physical body did not make any progress.

It was because all the vitality of his internal organs were infused into the newly born microparticles.

So that they could rapidly catch up to the others in terms of prowess.

And now, with the effects of the five thousand-year-old great medicine, Long Blood Ginseng, coming into play.

He could feel the medicinal power being rapidly absorbed by his physical body, and the renewed microparticles were rapidly growing and catching up with the pace of the previous microparticles.

The day they completely catch up will be the day his injuries are completely healed.

Yun Muyao saw that Jiang Yuan had entered a state of absorbing the medicinal power and watched him closely for a few moments.

She thought to herself, her little junior brother was indeed pleasing to the eye.

What’s even more impressive was his ability to reach this point at such a young age and to fight and kill enemies in higher realms by himself.

He fought sixteen dharma-nature entities by himself, a majority of whom were above him in cultivation and realm, yet managed to kill them all. This was proof enough of his exceptional innate potential, probably even higher than her own.

Also, the massages by her little junior brother are so enjoyable, truly a pleasure.

Thinking about this, the corners of her lips curve up into a subtle smile.

She then stretched languidly and walked outside.

“Since I’m home, I should take a bath first!”

…

Five days later.

Most of the blood streaks in the Three Lights Divine Water had been absorbed by Jiang Yuan’s physical body, and he also felt that his lost physical body vitality had been fully replenished.

In his trillion microparticles, each one was inhabited by an ancient godlike image.

These were the rulers of the mythological era, controlling all the stars in the sky.

Jiang Yuan felt a great joy in his heart upon experiencing this sensation.

Finally, he had overcome his biggest challenge.

My senior sister really is good to me!

He thought to himself.

He then examined his body internally and found that his original microparticles had awakened fifty million ancient godlike images.

Many of the awakened microparticles were annihilated when a massive number was destroyed by the finger-piercing attack last time.

Now, the number of awakened microparticles was merely forty million.

Jiang Yuan then felt the changes within the bathtub.

Half of the medicinal power remains. Excellent!

As expected of a five thousand-year-old great medicine!

And it’s Long Blood Ginseng at that!

This great medicine is known for body strengthening so the remaining half will certainly enhance the strength of my physical body even further.

Jiang Yuan discarded his distractive thoughts and continued to absorb the blood streaks in the Three Lights Divine Water.

Each streak was absorbed, instantly transforming into nourishment for his physical body.

His blood ran like a roaring river, with an intensely surging power that sounded like dragon roars.

The golden particles in his blood kept multiplying with the introduction of each blood streak.

The ancient godlike images residing within the microparticles also started to awaken, one by one.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

As the final streak of blood in the Three Lights Divine Water was absorbed by his physical body, Jiang Yuan examined his body internally.

Compared to five days ago, his physical body had undoubtedly undergone great improvement.

The golden particles in his blood had leaped to a level of fifty-five percent, and now his blood was mostly golden and filled with a sacred aura.

The awakened ancient godlike images within his microparticles had multiplied from forty million to sixty million.

In just five short days, an additional twenty million had awakened.

Jiang Yuan could also feel that the strength of his physical body had increased by more than thirty percent.

This increase could surely be described as a leap upwards.

Because of the nourishment of the five thousand-year-old great medicine over these past ten days, his organs had become more vigorous, making him feel energetically abundant.

As he opened his eyes, Yun Muyao suddenly appeared before his eyes.

“Little junior brother, how do you feel? Your injuries must be completely healed, right?”

“Very good!” Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction. “Thanks to senior sister’s medicine, not only are my injuries fully healed, but I’ve also made further progress! My strength has greatly increased!”

“That’s good!” Yun Muyao nodded with satisfaction.

She raised her hand slightly, and the Three Lights Divine Water rose up into the air, disappearing from sight.

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s puzzled expression, she said, “Although these Three Lights Divine Water are not genuine, they are still valuable goods.”

“With these in a medicinal bath, the absorption and refining speed would be much faster, and the utilization rate of the medicine would greatly increase!”

Jiang Yuan then asked, “So, senior sister, you’ll be using these Three Lights Divine Water in the future?”

“Yes!” Yun Muyao nodded. “Of course! Such things aren’t easy to come by, so why would I waste them? I’ll use them for my baths in the future!”

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked slowly, “Senior sister, don’t you think it’s unsanitary?”

Yun Muyao glanced at him, saying lightly, “We cultivators are free from dust and impurities. What is there for me to disdain!”

“Besides, I’ve used this Three Lights Divine Water for countless medicinal baths. You didn’t even realize that this was my bathwater!”

Jiang Yuan: “…”

Then he nodded slowly: “I really didn’t notice!”

“Well, there you go!” Yun Muyao said lightly with a smile.

Then she showed a puzzled expression again: “Why is junior brother still sitting in my bathtub? Can’t bear to leave? Want to share a couple’s bath with me?”

“No, that’s not it!” Jiang Yuan shook his head. “It’s inconvenient to get up!”

“What’s so inconvenient about it?” Yun Muyao looked puzzled.

“Get up quickly, dear Elder Sister!” she pleaded again.

“No, I just can’t!” Jiang Yuan shook his head.

“Why not?”

“Elder Sister, don’t interrogate me; instead, please go put another layer of clothing on.”

Upon glancing downwards, Yun Muyao said,” What’s wrong with this? These are just my house clothes! Unless…”

She lightly glanced at Jiang Yuan and teasingly said, “Unless… Junior Brother, are you plotting some nefarious design on your Elder Sister?”

As soon as she finished, she used her lightning-fast reflexes to seize Jiang Yuan’s arm and yank him up.

Upon sweeping her gaze, she instantly understood Jiang Yuan’s predicament.

She scoffed gently, “Put on some decent clothing before coming to me! The robe I’ve prepared for you is quite ordinary and is very comfortable. I’ve placed it next to you.”

After speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Jiang Yuan laughed helplessly.

Like any young man in his vigorous years, naturally had some reactions when witnessing Yun Muyao clad in revealing attire.

He subsequently stepped out of the bath bucket, picking up the black martial wear Yun Muyao had prepared for him on the side.

This garment, more suited to lounging at home, was convenient and simple in design. He dressed in it promptly!

Outside the room.

A blush still lingered on Yun Muyao’s face.

Then, she shook her head several times.

She must not entertain these unhealthy thoughts.

It took nearly half a stick of time before Jiang Yuan could suppress the restless emotions in his heart. Only then he dared to push open the door of his room.

The room’s door creaked.

With the slight noise, Yun Muyao trembled slightly.

As she turned her head, her gaze lightly swept downwards, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Only then did she take the time to measure Jiang Yuan from head to toe.

He stepped out in a black martial robe; his face was handsome, youthful-looking. His black hair fell freely.

His figure was incredibly proportionate!

However, Yun Muyao knew that the muscles of Jiang Yuan held explosive power.

The physical bodies of those who could enter the Holy Institute were nothing short of monstrous!

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, “Junior Brother suits the black attire; it looks rather pleasing to the eyes.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “That’s because Elder Sister has exquisite taste! This robe suits me perfectly, it’s very appropriate!”

“I’ll tell you, it’s not like that.” Yun Muyao lifted her chin slightly, “A single glance was enough for me to figure out your measurements. I specifically ordered a custom-made one! Isn’t my judgment impressive?”

“Your judgment is indeed impressive!” Jiang Yuan replied in a light tone.

Soon, he found himself face to face with Yun Muyao.

“Elder Sister, it seems I may have to set off now?”

“Why is that?” she asked, taken by surprise.

“I have some matters to attend to in Qianyuan Kingdom, and I don’t have much time on my hands.”

Jiang Yuan had just done some calculations, the so-called Horse Trampling Sect is merely half a year away within his reach.

His present strengths were certainly insufficient. He needed to take advantage of whatever time he had.

Hearing this, Yun Muyao slowly withdrew her smile.

“Alright then! I was hoping the Junior Brother would keep me company for a few more days. With my vast residence, being alone is quite dull. Seems like I’m destined to be lonely for now.”

Jiang Yuan,”Elder Sister, stop making fun of me! Don’t speculate, have you been reading too many romance novels recently?”

He was speechless inside. If someone didn’t know any betters, they might think he was an irrelevant person!

But the truth was that he only met his Elder Sister a couple of days ago.

“Shut up, do you want to say something?” Yun Muyao turned to glance at him angrily, “If you dare speak about this, you’re doomed!”

Seeing Yun Muyao’s gaze upon him, Jiang Yuan shuddered slightly.

He hurriedly replied, “Elder Sister, rest assured. I absolutely won’t dare!”

Only then did Yun Muyao nod in satisfaction, “Come, sit down! Let Elder Sister fix up your hair. You can’t go outside looking like this; you’ll embarrass me!”

While talking, she led him to sit on a jade stool.

She took out a comb and began neatening his messy hair.

“Elder Sister, do you know of your lineage?”

“Yes, I was an innate being, god-given and sacred. I already knew of my origin once I was born and then was taken by my master to the Tianhe Sacred Land. That’s why I took my Master’s last name!”

“Elder Sister, who is the Master of yours?”

“The Holy Master of Tianhe Sacred Land!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was taken aback.

It turned out to be her, the renowned woman Saint.

No wonder his Elder Sister could become the Saintess of Tianhe Sacred Land. One would think it was queer if she hadn’t!

With such a strong influence in a sacred place, and also given her extraordinary talent.

Yun Muyao asked again, “Junior Brother, have you discovered the source of my journey and hence, asked me this question?”

“Yes! Originally, I wanted to tell Elder Sister about this, but I didn’t expect that you already knew! No wonder Elder Sister lacks some common knowledge.” Jiang Yuan spoke in a light tone.

“Yeah!” Yun Muyao nodded in agreement.

As she began speaking again, “Alright! Junior Brother, turn around!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan sat on the jade stool and turned.

“Indeed, if you comb and tidy up your hair, the Junior Brother seems even more handsome! Not bad at all!”

Yun Muyao nodded her approval.

Jiang Yuan laughed, “As long as Elder Sister is pleased!”

Immediately afterwards, he stood up and looked at Yun Muyao, “Elder Sister, before I leave, do you want a massage?”

“No!” Yun Muyao shook her head slowly, “That kind of feeling would make me a little reluctant to have you go!”

“Then… Elder Sister, should I leave?”

“Yeah, go ahead.” Yun Muyao nodded.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan hugged her and whispered in her ear, “Elder Sister, see you next time!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of Yun Muyao, turned around, and left.

Yun Muyao watched his retreating figure, then she too turned and walked back into her room.
