Chapter 310: Chapter 143: 100 Years to Grow, 100 Years to Bloom, 100 Years to Bear Fruit
However, after breaking through the realm, the medicinal power of the Spirit Pill within Zhou Changwang’s body had not yet been fully refined.
Therefore, he once again circulated the energy for three more cycles before stopping.
Then, he glanced at the attribute panel.
Name: Zhou Changwang
Lifespan: 18/108
Cultivation Level: Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation (5/100)
"Indeed.
The cultivation level has broken through.
Formally advanced from the Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation to the Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that my lifespan has also increased.
Directly rising from the original ’102’ to ’108’, an increase of six years in total."
Zhou Changwang glanced at the attribute panel, feeling truly exhilarated in his heart.
Lightly circulating Spiritual Power, he only felt a purer and more vigorous flow of Spiritual Power coursing through his body, far superior to before.
The most evident manifestation was the increased power of his magic when casting.
For instance, the Annual Ring Skill originally could directly increase the growth on the Third-Grade Spirit Plant Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree by half a month, which is fifteen days, but now it’s increased to eighteen days.
Though the increase doesn’t seem much, it indeed indicates the power of the magic has grown.
Moreover, what excites him even more is his lifespan.
One hundred and eight years!
An increase of six years directly.
"This method of increasing lifespan with each breakthrough is quite satisfactory.
It’s a pity that it hasn’t reached the two Jiazi mark, the level of one hundred and twenty years.
I estimate that only by reaching above the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation and truly advancing to a late-stage Qi Cultivation practitioner can this be achieved."
Zhou Changwang was deeply pleased in his heart.
As for three Jiazi?
He didn’t hold out hope.
Because only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can normally attain this lifespan and live beyond one hundred and eighty years.
As for the end of life? It varies from person to person.
After one hundred and eighty years, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can no longer retain their essence and vitality, and their physical condition will rapidly deteriorate, declining day by day.
If there’s an existing old ailment, the rate of decline accelerates, possibly leading to being at death’s door within three to five years, and then falling.
The higher the realm, the slower the rate of decline, almost nearly everyone finds it difficult to escape the Celestial Five Declines before reaching one or two hundred years old, leading to a natural death.
For instance, the Bai Family Ancestor, who is himself over one hundred and eighty years old, suffered injuries, causing his power to wane even faster, which is why the Chen Family took the opportunity to strike.
Of course, there are those who, due to the cultivation methods they practice, can live past two hundred years.
For example, the Longevity Technique, Health Cultivation Technique...
Beyond that, cultivators can also use Life-extending Elixirs and Earth Treasures to extend their lifespan, but at most, this only increases their lifespan to two hundred twenty or two hundred thirty; practically no one lives past two hundred forty, the great limit of four Jiazi.
It is said that this is a limitation of Heaven and Earth, a natural growth pattern of all things, not something that can be broken by ordinary means.
"Therefore, those who truly seek immortality and endless life must strive to cultivate relentlessly, enhancing their cultivation realm as much as possible to ascend to the immortal realm and become immortals..."
As Zhou Changwang sighed, he stood up as well.
The sky had brightened.
Standing in the courtyard, Zhou Changwang practiced the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques three times, his entire body drenched in sweat, intending to stop practicing, when suddenly, like a stroke of insight, he began to perform it once more.
Once, twice, three times...
Boom~!
A surging energy of blood and vitality rapidly emanated from his body.
At this moment, he felt his physical strength rapidly surging, his body’s defensive power strengthening, and as his power surged, it resembled the sound of thunder in spring.
"Reached the Fifth Layer of Body Refining.
The strength is significantly greater."
While casting Cleaning Technique to wash away the sweat on his body, Zhou Changwang’s face was also filled with surprise.
He hadn’t expected that his body cultivation realm would break through so quickly from the Fourth Layer of Body Refining to the Fifth Layer.
In just a little over a month.
It’s much faster compared to his immortal technique realm.
"However, this is good.
Though body cultivation is not mainstream in the Cultivation Realm, it can make up for my weaknesses in strength.
Being able to break through is certainly great!"
Zhou Changwang mused, before starting his daily casting tasks.
Annual Ring Skill, Spirit Rain Skill, then channeling Spiritual Spring to irrigate Spirit Land... occasionally using Life-Cutting Finger to weed...
Essentially, all nine acres of Spirit Field received his care.
Naturally, most of Zhou Changwang’s time was spent on the Third-Grade Spirit Plant Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree in the High-Tier Second-Grade Spirit Field.
In contrast, he only slightly used magic on the Centennial Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree, which was also a Third-Grade Spirit Plant, without much fuss.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning.
To make the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree grow more vigorously, he even set up a Small Spirit Gathering Array around the tree.
Due to the environment, which is a Second-Grade Spirit Land, the Spiritual Qi is relatively sufficient, thus even with the array continuously active, the daily consumption is only about ten pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
It allows the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree to compare to that of a Third-Grade Low-Tier Spirit Field, so he is not stingy.
Adding a Fog Array and Sound Insulation Array simultaneously, even if Fairy Lianyu came monthly to collect spiritual materials, she wouldn’t be able to discover what he was cultivating.
An hour later.
After taking care of all the Spirit Plants, Zhou Changwang then left the Spirit Land and headed directly towards the marketplace.
After half an hour, Zhou Changwang appeared at the entrance to the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.
Zhou Changwang first made a beeline for the Library Pavilion in the Spirit Plant Hall.
It must be said, having the identity of a Spirit Plant Master is quite useful within the Spirit Plant Hall; simply hanging the Spirit Plant Master’s Identity Token at his waist allowed him almost unimpeded access.
