Longevity for a Hundred Years, Middle Stage of the Mortal Realm

The heaven-defying properties of the Starry Sea Bottle made Su Yi's heart beat faster.

He held the Starry Sea Bottle and sized it up for a long time before he put it down with fondness.

It was a pity that he did not have any medicinal pills. Otherwise, he could test the Starry Sea Bottle right now.

"I'll go to the medicinal pill shop later and buy a mortal pill to try."

Su Yi decided in a low voice and took out the Dao-grade art of longevity again from the immortal destiny seal.

In the next moment, an ancient-looking book with yellowed pages appeared in his hand.

On the cover, there were three big words, 'art of longevity'.

There was a solemn aura of life circulating the book.

[Mental cultivation technique: Art of longevity (Dao-grade)]

[Description: The Great Dao is long, but you know that it is not easy to live, that is why it is called longevity. After cultivating, one can consolidate one's foundation and cultivate one's vitality, regulating one's body and recuperating one's breath.]

[Beginning of cultivation: Lifespan + 20 years, strength + 20, physique + 20, inner breath + 20, permanent cultivation effect + 2.]

[Learning condition: None.]

[Advancement into minor accomplishment: 1000 cultivation points.]

After reading the properties of the art of longevity, Su Yi's state of mind could not help but fluctuate.

His lifespan could be increased by 10 years, and the effect of his cultivation base could be permanently increased by 2.

A cultivator could go very far on the path of cultivation, and the length of their lifespan was undoubtedly a very crucial factor.

Many cultivators stopped on the path of cultivation because of the problem of their lifespan.

This also caused many cultivators to do anything to increase their lifespan.

After the Dao calendar was opened, although breaking through a realm would also increase one's lifespan, there were countless cultivators who died of old age before they could break through to the next realm.

Therefore, the most expensive heavenly materials and earthly treasures were basically those that increased one's lifespan.

Therefore, Su Yi chose to learn it without hesitation.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Do you wish to learn the art of longevity?]

[Yes.]

[Hint: Art of longevity comprehended. Lifespan + 20 years, strength + 20, physique + 20, inner breath + 20, permanent cultivation effect + 2.]

In the next second, a comfortable warm current flowed through Su Yi's body.

His body, which was originally feeling a little tired, was now full of vitality.

Even his physique felt a little stronger, and his limbs felt more powerful.

With a breath, he felt like he was like a long dragon swallowing and spitting fire.

"This is the effect of the beginner level of cultivation. What about the minor accomplishment level?"

Su Yi muttered. Looking at the 1000 technique cultivation point requirement, he chose to advance to the art of longevity without hesitation.

[Hint: You have consumed 1000 technique cultivation points to advance the art of longevity to the minor accomplishment level.]

[Art of longevity (minor accomplishment): Lifespan + 100 years, Strength + 50, Physique + 50, inner breath + 50, permanent cultivation effect + 5.]

[Advance to major accomplishment: 3,000 cultivation points.]

He had increased his lifespan by 100 years. This was completely different from the life of an ordinary person.

For cultivators, only if they had a long enough lifespan would they be able to advance further on the path of cultivation.

A hundred years of longevity!

At that time, Su Yi did not even dare to think about it.

After slightly calming himself down, Su Yi opened the seal of immortal destiny and checked his attributes.

[Cultivator: Su Yi.]

[Lifespan: 18/156 years.]

[Realm: Early stage mortal (0/100).]

[Attributes: strength 51, physique 55, inner breath 50, comprehension 10.]

[Qi and blood: 550.]

[True essence: 400.]

[Attack: 255.]

[Defense: 110.]

[Talent: No grade spiritual root (cultivation effect permanently + 1)]

[Cultivation effect: 6.]

[Cultivation method: Art of longevity (Dao grade).]

[Equipment: None.]

After looking at his attributes, Su Yi rubbed his chin and recalled the cultivation data he had learned in the past.

In this world, strength determined a cultivator's attack damage. 1 point of strength = 5 points of attack.

Physique determined a cultivator's qi and blood, and also defense. 1 point of physique = 10 points of qi and blood = 2 points of defense.

Inner breath determined the total amount of true essence in a cultivator's body. 1 inner breath = 8 true essence points.

Comprehension determined a cultivator's speed and aptitude in comprehending Dao. For example, learning mental cultivation techniques, spells, and so on all had a requirement for comprehension.

However, this attribute could only be increased after breaking through a major realm, or if one obtained a rare mental cultivation technique or item.

After advancing the art of longevity to minor accomplishment, his lifespan was increased by 100 years. In other words, his original lifespan was only 56 years.

In terms of attributes, before cultivating, one was a mortal with 1 point of strength, 5 physique, and 10 points of comprehension ability. In other words, his attack power was only 5.

However, now that he cultivated the art of longevity, his attributes had increased by dozens of times. This was the most intuitive feeling in data cultivation.

Then, Su Yi sat down cross-legged. On the immortal path, the most important thing was to cultivate persistently, and this cultivation was meditation and breathing.

Su Yi silently circulated the art of longevity in his heart and began his first breathing and breathing cultivation.

A moment later, the surrounding spiritual energy was slowly flowing into his body and then converted into spiritual energy.

In the next moment, after circulating the art of longevity for one round, the pores all over his body suddenly opened up, and he felt extremely comfortable.

[Hint: Art of longevity. One cycle, cultivation + 6.]

Hearing the hint, Su Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

The so-called breathing exercise was to guide the energy in the body to revolve.

One revolution would amount to one cycle.

Twelve cycles would be one complete breathing exercise.

However, for cultivators who had just activated their immortal destiny, if they completed one cycle, their cultivation would increase by nothing more than + 1 or + 2.

However, Su Yi's cultivation had increased by + 6 with one cycle. Then, if he completed one breathing exercise, would his cultivation not increase by 72 points?!

At this moment, Su Yi could feel the power of the art of longevity.

When he was in the mortal realm, a cultivator could only perform breathing exercises twice a day.

On the panel, it showed that he needed 100 points to break through to the next stage. In other words, he would be able to break through to the middle stage of the mortal realm today!

After clearing his mind, Su Yi continued to cultivate.

This time, he could clearly feel that the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy was a little faster than before.

Next, Su Yi guided the spiritual qi in his body and circulated it around his limbs and bones to complete a cycle.

The spiritual qi finally turned into spiritual energy and slowly poured into his qi centre.

[Hint: Art of longevity. One cycle, cultivation + 6.]

[Hint: Art of...]

...

[Hint: You have completed one breathing exercise, cultivation + 72.]

Su Yi opened the attribute panel.

[Realm: Early mortal stage (72/100).]

He nodded his head in satisfaction.

"I'll be able to break through to the intermediate mortal stage after a few more rounds of breathing exercises!"

He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with excitement.

However, at this moment, after completing one round of breathing exercises, he was already feeling hungry.

This was no surprise. After a true cultivator reached a certain realm, they could not eat or drink, which was commonly known as fasting.

However, for cultivators who had just entered the sect, it was the opposite. In the early stages, they would consume too much physical strength, so they would become hungry easily.

Moreover, their appetite would increase greatly.

This phenomenon would only disappear after they broke through to the qi condensation realm.

Su Yi originally wanted to endure it, but after he sat down cross-legged again, he realized that he was so hungry that he could not concentrate at all.

Thus, he could only go to the kitchen to find food and have a big meal.

After he was full, he continued to circulate his qi and started his breathing exercise.

Time slowly passed...

[Hint: Art of longevity. One cycle, cultivation + 6.]

[Hint: Art of...]

..

[Hint: Cultivation has reached 100, broke through to the intermediate stage of mortals, strength + 10, physique + 10, inner breath + 10.]
