Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

A moment later.

Following Jiang Yuan’s tug of the red rope, the old maid rushed over. So in a hurry, she was panting heavily as she pushed the room door open.

“Young Master Jiang, what can I do for you?”

Jiang Yuan pointed to Su Xin kneeling on the ground and said, “I vow to protect

Su Xin, tell the people behind you, no one is allowed to harm her!”

She instantly nodded continuously, “Yes! Young Master Jiang, are you taking her or leaving her here?”

“Keep her here! But no one is allowed to force her into doing anything unwilling, understand?” Jiang Yuan said.

As his words fell, an invisible oppression weighed on her.

Her forehead was instantly covered in sweat, and her legs began to tremble slightly.

“Understood!” She nodded again and again.

Meanwhile.

The third floor.

In a luxurious room.

A handsome young man was sipping wine.

All of a sudden.

The wine in his glass spilled across the table as his hand shook.

His expression instantly turned extremely serious.

“Da, is this the pressure of the martial art’s true intent?” He asked.

A middle-aged man covered with sword scars beside him nodded.

“Yes! Such a strong true martial intention, Jiang Yuan is indeed a heaven genius! His actual combat ability must be extremely strong!”

The young man said, “I didn’t expect such a heaven genius to emerge from this small place. I heard someone from the Sunset Sect came here, but they refused to accept him as an inner sect disciple. They rejected such a genius. It seems that it really difficult to enter the immortal sect!”

Da nodded, “It’s indeed difficult. I once tried to become a disciple of the Sunset

Sect, but I didn’t even qualify to become an outer sect disciple.”

“But now you’ve reached the ninth layer of body forging and are just a step away from transcending.”

Da shook his head, “This step is as different as heaven and earth. If I cross this step, my lifespan will double, and there’s no difference between me and an immortal. If I don’t cross this step, I’m still just a mortal.”

The young man fell into silence.

Even though their Wang family had considerable power across several counties and harbored many ninth layer body forging experts, so far none of them had crossed that step.

One small step, yet as significant as the difference between mortals and immortals.

If you cross that line, you transcend the ordinary, akin to immortal beings, and can look down upon the mortal world.

But if you stop here, you will inevitably turn into a pile of yellow soil after a hundred years, and all wealth and glory will come to naught in the end.

In their clan, there were several people who attempted to break through, but the result was either severe injuries, damaged spiritual veins, and hence being stuck at this stage forever.

Or the person would die from the explosion of all their spiritual veins.

To this day, all those who tried to break through on their own, without exception, failed.

This step, it’s too hard, too hard!

The family head who surpassed the ordinary was also there because he entered the sect when he was young.

After failing to break through, he returned home and founded the vast Wang family.

Just then.

The woman from earlier came to the third floor and knocked on the door.

She respectfully stood in front of the young man.

Yunyan Pavilion was backed by Four Seasons Trading Company, one of the company’s biggest sources of revenue.

And behind Four Seasons Trading Company, the true master was the Wang family, the northern Wang family of Dalizhou province.

This young man, a legitimate son of the Wang family, was a distinguished personage.

She respectfully reported Jiang Yuan’s demand to the young man.

After listening to her report, the young man laughed, “Just do as he said! Give him this respect. After all, it’s just for treating a woman well, there’s no need to offend such a heaven genius.”

“Da, don’t you agree?”

“Yes!” Da nodded in agreement, “At his age, he’s already comprehended the true martial intent, his talent is definitely higher than mine. The future is unpredictable, after all, he was once considered by the Sunset Sect.”

The young man said, “Go ahead! Treat Bai Susu with the utmost respect, let her do as she pleases while she’s here, understand?”

“Understood!”

The middle-aged woman bowed, and then left the room.

Outside Yunyan Pavilion.

Jiang Yuan looked up at the location of the third floor.

“Young Master, what are you looking at?” Shu Xiaoxiao wondered.

Jiang Yuan chuckled and rubbed her head.

“Looking at a powerful person! ” “How tall?”

“He is a little shorter than me!”

“That is indeed tall!” Shu Xiao Xiao nodded understandingly. He laughed again and said, “Mission accomplished, let’s go!”

Now, he should know that I’ve discovered him!

Jiang Yuan secretly said to himself.

Meanwhile, on the third floor, Da caught sight of Jiang Yuan’s departing figure.

“Young Master, we may have underestimated his strength!”

“Why do you say it?”

“He has already discovered us!”

Light flashed in the young man’s eyes, “In that case, why don’t you try him yourself!”

“Alright!”

A few moments later.

“Not good!” Da suddenly exclaimed.

Instantly, he appeared in front of the young man.

The next moment.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

He retreated step after step, his face flushed.

“Da, what happened?” The sight of this made the young man nervous. He had never seen Da, his bodyguard who reached the limit of a mortal and forged his body to the ninth layer, suffer such a loss!

But just now, it was apparent that he had been dealt a blow by Jiang Yuan.

After a few moments, Da managed to calm the turmoil within him.

His expression turned serious, “Young Master, we really underestimated him! His strength may be beyond the eighth layer of body forging!”

“And compared to you?”

Da shook his head, “We haven’t truly fought, so it’s hard to say! But when it comes to the true martial intent, he might be above me!”

“Impossible! At his age, how can his true martial intent be superior to yours.” The young man mutterered to himself.

Shock flashed in his eyes, no less intense than when he heard that the Sunset Sect had once come to Lin’an City to examine a heaven genius.

Da said, “In the case of a real heaven genius, age has never been a problem! He was able to bring people from the Sunset Sect down the mountain to assess him, which is not typical!”

The young man pondered for a moment, then nodded his head. He was convinced by this argument.

He came to Lin’an County personally because he heard about the Sunset Sect’s involvement.

Now he realised that this trip was worth it!

As long as he did what Jiang Yuan had asked, and took good care of Bai Susu, he would establish a good relationship with a heaven genius.

On the other hand.

Jiang Yuan was filled with confusion.

Is this what a ninth layer body forging expert like Da is like?

Why does it feel like his martial intent is not too strong?

Did I underestimate myself, or did I overestimate the power of the ninth layer?

The brief encounter just now left him puzzled.

The impression Da, the ninth layer body refining expert, gave him was far less significant than the Grand Master of Black Wind Tribe.

Was the Grand Master too strong, or was he too weak?

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and then shook his head.

Forget it, let’s not worry about this now.

I didn’t expect Yunyan Pavilion to be more than it seems.

The true master behind the scenes are not only the Four Seasons Trading

Company.

They are backed by an even more powerful force.

He is a ninth-level body refining expert, must have some significant power behind him.

I hope they are wise enough!
