I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 51: Movement and Commotion

"Father has his own path to follow and his own choices to make.

Then what about me?"

At this moment, Zhou Changwang had already returned to his residence.

His father’s departure didn’t significantly affect him,

but he also had his own confusions.

The struggle to earn Spirit Stones and the repeated encounters with Tribulation Cultivators made him doubt his cultivation path for the first time.

Can I truly establish my Foundation?

Now, he was no longer the ignorant young man who had just crossed over, aware that in the Cultivation Realm, cultivators usually have until sixty to establish their Foundation.

Only by breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of sixty can one possibly succeed. Once past sixty, physical and mental capabilities rapidly decline, making a breakthrough almost impossible.

"I can only have a slim chance to establish my Foundation if I reach the Qi Refining Ninth Layer before sixty."

Zhou Changwang silently calculated.

Currently, he was seventeen, which meant he had forty-three years left.

Forty-three years seemed long.

But he understood that it was actually quite fleeting.

Because his Spirit Root Talent determined that his efficiency in absorbing Spiritual Qi was extremely low.

Even with his current Small Success in the Five Elements Technique, his efficiency was only comparable to that of a Four Spirit Roots Cultivator.

In fact, in the Cultivation Realm, without consuming large resources, one would need to be at least a Three Spirit Roots Cultivator to steadily reach Qi Refining Ninth Layer before sixty.

This is assuming there’s sect inheritance and the cultivation area is abundant in Spiritual Qi.

"Therefore, I need to earn a large amount of Spirit Stones to transform them into resources and enhance my cultivation efficiency, aiming to reach the Qi Refining Ninth Layer before sixty as much as possible."

Zhou Changwang felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

But he still forced himself to stay motivated.

He must not stop.

Since he has arrived in this Cultivation World, he would regret not taking a look at higher views.

Especially when he has an Attribute Panel.

Thinking of this, he quickly glanced at the Attribute Panel.

Name: Zhou Changwang

Lifespan: 17/78

Cultivation: Third-Layer Qi Cultivation (25/100)

Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Technique (Small Success 156/400)

Skills: Spirit Rain Skill (Small Success 128/400), Cleaning Technique (Mastery 56/200), Fertilization Technique (Great Success 78/800), Geng Metal Finger (Small Success 312/400), Calming Technique (Small Success 51/400), Fireball Technique (Small Success 88/400), Withered Wood Revival Technique (Entry Level 53/100), Protective Body Technique (Mastery 32/200), Light Body Skill (Mastery 15/200), Derivation Technique (Entry Level 95/100), Concealing Breath Technique (Entry Level 78/100), Sword Control Technique (Entry Level 52/100)

...

Several days of cultivation had allowed Zhou Changwang to make progress in various Magics.

The Protective Body Technique and Light Body Skill had both reached the Mastery Realm consecutively.

The defense power of the Protective Body Technique at the Mastery Level far exceeded that of the Golden Shield Talisman he purchased before. As for the Light Body Skill, although he didn’t exert it fully, it significantly increased his speed.

At least, he had the advantage in escaping.

Perhaps he couldn’t outrun Tribulation Cultivators with advanced cultivation, but he could outrun Low-Tier Loose Cultivators being pursued.

As for the Magics previously cultivated, he slowed down their progress, with only the attack-type Fireball Technique being elevated to the Small Success Realm.

"With this strength, combined with the help of a Dharma Artifact Flying Sword, I should have an absolute advantage against Low-Tier Cultivators.

As for Middle-Tier Cultivators..."

Zhou Changwang was uncertain, but he still felt it’s best to avoid encountering them.

Then, he thought of his father’s last words and walked into his father’s room.

He found the room very tidy, with only three books left on the table.

"Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique," "Zhou’s Saber and Sword," and "Celestial Essence Eight Techniques."

Zhou Changwang leaned closer to take a look and couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

In the end, his father had left his martial arts legacy.

Among them, the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques was something acquired unexpectedly and essentially a Body Cultivation Technique.

But the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique was his main cultivation method, while Zhou’s Saber and Sword was the saber and sword technique he created through decades of martial arts practice.

Zhou Changwang carefully put them away.

He intended to treat them as his family legacy.

If he married and had children in the future, and his descendants didn’t have Spirit Roots, he could have them practice martial arts, better than being without any skills.

...

Time swiftly flew by, and ten days passed in a flash.

During these ten days, Zhou Changwang hadn’t stepped outside nor beyond the inner courtyard, always engaging in intensive cultivation at home.

That night, having just ended a day of cultivation and planning to sleep in his clothes, he heard a knock on the door.

Who could it be?

Zhou Changwang was startled.

He hadn’t forgotten about those mysterious cultivators’ frequent visits.

Carefully peering out through the door, he breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Qian Xiaoyue across the door and then opened it.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, what brings you here?"

Zhou Changwang asked seriously.

He knew that in such a late hour, Qian Xiaoyue wouldn’t suddenly knock and disturb him unless there was a reason.

"Let’s talk inside." Qian Xiaoyue said in a low voice.

Zhou Changwang’s heart tightened, and he promptly let her in, closing the door and then casting a Sound Insulation Technique, still feeling unsafe.

"Any news?"

The fact that Qian Xiaoyue was so cautious clearly indicated progress in her ’eavesdropping’ endeavor.

"Just now, that ’couple’ went out, heading towards the Inner City of the Marketplace.

Immediately after, I heard those two brothers next to the master bedroom say ’action’ before they also hurriedly went out.

I was afraid to stay alone at home, so I quickly came to find you.

After all, we’ve cooperated before, two people together can better strategize."

Qian Xiaoyue’s face paled slightly, she said urgently.

"That’s right.

One person’s plan is short; two people’s plan is long.

Moreover, together, others would be wary of us."

Zhou Changwang nodded, acknowledging her words.

"So what should we do now?"

Qian Xiaoyue promptly asked.

"Wait!"

Zhou Changwang firmly said.

Going out would be more dangerous.

Waiting in the room to adapt to changes was the best choice.

After calming Qian Xiaoyue, Zhou Changwang quickly entered his room and began packing his belongings.

First were the three Spirit Seeds planted along the windowsill.

After this period of cultivation, with multiple applications of Fertilization Technique, the three Spirit Plants grew excellently, now half-human tall, each verdant and lush with hints of budding and fruit-bearing.

Of course, in contrast, he consumed three Spirit Stones.

The three Spirit Seeds were already thriving. Naturally, he couldn’t place them in the Storage Bag, or their vitality would cut off, so he opened the secret compartment under the bed to hide them separately.

Next were the Talisman Papers, Talisman Pen, and other items on the table, and lastly, he took the Long Sword from the bedside.

This sword was acquired from the Tribulation Cultivator Zhao Xifeng. Now, for safety reasons, he took it to have close at hand.

Just as he finished packing.

Suddenly,

there came a thunderous rumble from afar.

Then came a series of continuous, resounding booms.
