Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi-Chapter 90: Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method

After Yang Chan finished his tasks at the Medicine Hall and Pharmacy, he once again bought the refining materials for the Lantian Jade Refining Pill. He also restocked the ingredients for other formulas, preparing the medicines he would need for the next month.

Refining Lantian Jade Refining Pills was crucial for meeting his daily cultivation needs, so he couldn’t afford to stop. At the same time, Yang Chan was also a little worried about the situation in Tan City. Things were not looking good there, and the Cyan Yuan Sect would certainly dispatch people. He needed to prepare in advance.

He glanced at his panel. Over the past fifteen days, as his Potential Points recovered, he had accumulated nearly 28 points. This was partly thanks to taking Lantian Jade Refining Pills for the last two days. He allocated all of them to the Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist and the Tiger Demon Martial Seal.

This raised his Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist to Tier Three Mastery (35%) and his Tiger Demon Martial Seal to Tier Two Entry (46%).

After reaching Tier Three, the Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist required about twenty percent more Potential Points than the Ox Demon’s Mighty Fist that Yang Chan had previously cultivated—an increase of about ten Potential Points. Now that he had reached Tier Three Mastery (35%), he had tempered 103 bones throughout his body. He was about halfway done.

Yang Chan estimated that he would need to raise the Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist to around Tier Four to completely temper all two hundred and six bones in his body, which would require another forty-odd Potential Points.

The cultivation of External Iron Bone Refining consumed far more resources than Yang Chan had expected. It was no wonder that most people in the Cyan Yuan Sect were stuck in the External Refining Iron Bone Realm.

Even with all his hard work, it would take him about twenty days to gather enough points to reach External Refining of Iron Bone Perfection.

For others, cultivating to the stage of External Refining of Iron Bone Perfection would take much, much longer.

The progress of his Tiger Demon Martial Seal cultivation was about average. He could now form one Tiger Demon Martial Seal, but the boost to his Combat Power wasn’t significant. This was because his Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist was still lacking, and the same was true for the Martial Seal itself.

If he could cultivate the Tiger Demon Martial Seal to Tier Three, which was considered Perfection in the eyes of ordinary people, it could grant him the Power of Two Tigers. The future was promising.

’Perhaps it’s time to consider getting the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method?’

The thought surfaced in Yang Chan’s mind. Although he hadn’t yet cultivated his Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist to Tier Four, it wouldn’t be long before he could advance his External Iron Bone Refining to encompass every bone in his body.

Under normal circumstances, he could definitely cultivate his Tiger Demon Bone Cultivation Fist and Tiger Demon Martial Seal to what ordinary people considered the Perfection Realm within a month. At that point, he would also be the youngest master in the Cyan Yuan Sect to have reached External Refining of Iron Bone Perfection, and it would be time to begin the Inner Refining of the Five Viscera and Six Bowels.

After becoming an Elite Disciple, he learned the secrets of an Inner Master’s cultivation. He also learned about the Cyan Yuan Sect’s Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method, an extremely powerful technique for the Inner Refining of the Five Viscera and Six Bowels. As the Instructor Elder’s saying went: "Viscera like a Long Flood Dragon grant a long life. Breath like Purification makes one a deathless centenarian."

Inner Master experts all had lifespans exceeding one hundred years. Their breathing also became extremely deep, allowing them to cultivate through respiration alone. They could purify their bodies of waste and impurities, absorb new energy, and keep their entire being—inside and out—constantly refreshed. This led to numerous benefits such as longevity, powerful internal organs, immense stamina, and extreme endurance.

Even if poisoned, they could use this breathing purification to expel toxins from their bodies. It was truly incredible.

Even Yang Chan’s Five Poison Powder would be largely ineffective against an Inner Master, at best hindering them for only a short moment.

When Martial Arts Cultivation reached this stage, it was already a superhuman transformation. Traveling by foot, covering a thousand li in a day was not an issue at all. This just showed how terrifying Martial Arts Cultivation could be at this level.

At the same time, the Inner Refining breathing would also strengthen the body’s skin, flesh, fascia, and bones, making one’s Combat Power even more terrifying.

Not to mention the enhancement from the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal, which was even more powerful than Nine Oxen and Two Tigers. As for how powerful it was, the Instructor Elder had only said that one could shatter the peak of a mountain with a single punch. He then added that he meant a peak ten men high.

Yang Chan and the other Elite Disciples felt their blood boil with excitement. Only then did the Instructor Elder continue teaching them the Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist and the Tiger Demon Martial Seal, but everyone’s motivation had been ignited.

He was no exception, imagining the power of an Inner Master.

’My cultivation is progressing too quickly. Exposing my true Cultivation isn’t a good idea. But to get the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method, even having enough Contribution Points isn’t enough. What a headache.’

For Yang Chan to break through to the Inner Master realm, he needed a cultivation method for the Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens. There were quite a few such techniques within the Cyan Yuan Sect. For instance, the Three Major Sects that had been destroyed possessed inner refining methods, which had now become part of the Cyan Yuan Sect’s foundation. However, the most powerful among them was the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method, because this cultivation technique resonated with the Ox Demon’s Mighty Fist and the Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist that Yang Chan practiced.

Its Martial Seal could even achieve Tiger Capturing and Dragon Catching, making it far stronger than the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal alone. It wasn’t impossible for him to switch to another method for Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens, but the results would certainly not be as good as with the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method. Besides, he currently had no way of obtaining any other cultivation technique for the Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens.

Cultivation methods that led to the Inner Master realm were every Sect’s most prized secrets. To obtain one, you had to be qualified.

With his current External Iron Bone Refining, Yang Chan was technically qualified. However, his cultivation progress was too fast. Ordinary disciples in the Cyan Yuan Sect struggled for years just to break through to External Refining, let alone reach the Iron Bone stage. If he revealed his progress, it wouldn’t be a good thing for him; it could even put him in danger.

Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not plan to reveal his Cultivation in External Iron Bone Refining. Only after his Cultivation broke through to Inner Refining would he have the power to protect himself. If he became a Grandmaster, there would be no threats to him within the Cyan Yuan Sect.

’For now, I won’t worry about getting an Inner Refining Method from the Sect. Worst case, I’ll spend a few more years and keep a low profile. I’ll accumulate some Potential Points, use some to improve my Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill, and use the rest to upgrade the Ox Demon’s Mighty Fist, Tiger Demon Bone Cultivation Fist, Ox Demon Martial Seal, and Tiger Demon Martial Seal. I can still make progress on those, anyway.’

’When the time feels right, I’ll get promoted to a Direct Disciple. In the meantime, I can also become an Intermediate Pharmacist, or even an Advanced Pharmacist. That would make my progress seem more reasonable. Then I’ll be able to get the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method.’

’At that point, I can just dump all my points into it to reach Perfection, instantly reaching the peak of the Inner Master realm. Then I can get a Bone Marrow Cleansing cultivation technique.’

Yang Chan thought to himself. This method aligned perfectly with his plan to act cautiously and keep a low profile, and it would also help him avoid a lot of trouble.

The Cyan Yuan Sect already had a genius Young Sect Leader in Liu Shengyu. If another, even more talented figure appeared, he would inevitably be targeted. If the Sect Leader, Liu Xuan, was a narrow-minded person, he might even develop killing intent towards him. Yang Chan had never trusted in human nature; it was fundamentally unreliable.

As for the just and selfless persona Liu Xuan projected, it was likely just an image he needed to maintain. What he was like in private was hard to say.
