Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

However, Jiang Yuan didn’t see this object as a significant threat to himself.

With such a formidable physical body and a bloodline equivalent to the ancient Human Emperor, how could such weak energy invade him?

However, other people were different; the majority of cultivators may not have weak physical bodies, but they definitely weren’t strong either.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Jiang Yuan returned to his own courtyard.

He began to meditate on the star map.

After the earlier confrontation, he felt more driven than ever.

It was extremely frustrating to have a fabulous treasure yet not benefiting from it.

So, if he couldn’t practice cultivation, training his divine soul would be the same.

Under the influence of the nine stars and their gravitation fluctuations, Jiang Yuan felt his divine soul’s refining speed skyrocket.

Soon, it was the agreed time to meet Liu Jie.

It was early morning and the sun had just risen.

Dew was still hanging from the trees as Shu Xiaoxiao opened the mansion doors.

“Young master, please be careful on the road. I’ll be waiting for you at home!”

She said with a touch of reluctance.

Jiang Yuan smiled and patted her head.

“While I’m away, you don’t need to be so busy. Train well, and I hope you make progress when I return!”

“Alright!” Shu Xiaoxiao clenched her small fists and said, “Young master, rest assured. When you return, my progress will give you a surprise!”

Jiang Yuan smiled again and then turned around to leave.

Liu Jie’s mansion.

As soon as Jiang Yuan knocked on the doors of his family compound, with a booming sound, the massive door slowly opened.

“Brother Jiang, please come in!” said Liu Jie.

As he stepped over the threshold, Jiang Yuan saw that Liu Jie’s courtyard was now somewhat desolate.

The group of maids from before was obviously mostly dismissed, leaving only a few figures here and there.

“Where’s Senior Sister Liu?” asked Jiang Yuan.

“She hasn’t arrived yet, but she should be here soon! I’ve been waiting for her for quite a while, Brother Jiang. Since our talk, I’ve been so excited about seeing Senior Sister Liu today that I couldn’t sleep at all last night!” explained Liu Jie, somewhat eager.

Right at that moment, a graceful figure instantly appeared behind Jiang Yuan.

“Senior Sister Liu!” Liu Jie said, bursting with joy.

Jiang Yuan turned and took a look at Liu Rushi, then at Liu Jie.

With a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, “Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Liu was just saying how he was anxiously waiting for you at home since early morning!”

Liu Jie was in a hurry to interject, “Brother Jiang, don’t make things up!”

Jiang Yuan chuckled, “Or did I hear wrong? Brother Liu just said he didn’t sleep all of last night!”

On hearing this, Liu Rushi’s face flushed slightly with embarrassment.

As Liu Jie quietly coughed a couple of times, he feigned calm and said, “Let’s go inside first!”

The three crossed the threshold and entered Liu Jie’s mansion.

Liu Rushi looked around and noticed all those annoying maids were gone, which softened her gaze considerably.

Observing these subtle changes, Jiang Yuan completely understood.

These two were clearly smitten, and all it would take was one breakthrough to bring them together.

As soon as they were seated, Liu Jie poured tea and began, “Brother Jiang, I’ve discussed it with the person, and we will meet at the border of our two sects, Rising Sun Mountain. This place isn’t far from the two sects.”

Jiang Yuan arched an eyebrow curiously and said, “Does the Sunset Sect border the Supreme Mystery Sect?”

“Yes!” Liu Jie nodded, “Moreover, as the years have passed, friction has often occurred between the Supreme Mystery Sect and the Sunset Sect due to disputes over resources. In short, relations are not harmonious, so we are both somewhat concerned.”

He looked at Jiang Yuan and continued, “Initially, I planned to ask another trustworthy senior brother to join us. That senior brother is in the Enforcement Hall and has already reached the fifth layer of the Meridian-Breaking Realm.”

“However, his power is rather ordinary. Now that I have Brother Jiang’s assistance, I am fully reassured!”

Then he added, “I offer my tea as a toast, here’s to you, Brother Jiang!”

After the two drank, Jiang Yuan asked, “In that case, what are your plans for this trip, Brother Liu?”

Liu Jie said, “We’ll ride a Green Falcon, a bird that can travel thousands of miles in a day. In one day and night, we should reach Rising Sun Peak.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yuan nodded.

After a while, the three left Liu Jie’s mansion, heading to the Beast Taming Hall to rent three Green Falcons to use as transportation.

Riding Green Falcons is the best way to travel for those under the Divine Bridge Realm.

As for the great cultivators in the Divine Bridge Realm, they wield the power of heaven and earth, making their flight speeds far surpass that of the Green Falcons.

With their Spiritual Seas never running dry and their spiritual power being boundless.

Naturally, they didn’t need such transport, and the two were incomparable.

Meanwhile.

An unnamed mountain peak.

Qian Lang and his two companions were hiding behind a large rock on top of the peak.

“Qin Ming, are you sure Liu Jie will pass through here?”

Qin Ming nodded, “Absolutely sure. This is the direction everyone would take to go to Rising Sun Peak. He has no defenses against me, so he ended up revealing everything just because I steered the conversation a little.”

“But what’s infuriating is that after he saw how strong Jiang Yuan was, he invited Jiang Yuan to join instead and ditched me. Unbelievable.”

He said wistfully, “That’s an ancient cave dwelling, so there must be a great opportunity inside. If I could get the chance from the cave, I could at least hope to be able to open the Spiritual Sea even if I don’t achieve the Divine Bridge!”

Qian Lang wiped the strong bow in his hand, and said coldly, “No need to worry! As long as they really pass through here, I can guarantee they won’t be returning!”

“Although killing fellow disciples violates sect rules, if there is the kind of wealth you mentioned inside, it might just be worth it!”

“If there is anyone to blame, it’s Liu Jie for being foolish. Who broadcasts their good luck and great opportunity to everyone else?”

“Who can resist such a tempting shortcut to success?”

After speaking, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

“It’s perfect, and I can even kill Jiang Yuan in the process. I will make him pay for making a fool of me last time, with interest!”

Imagining the scene in his mind, he couldn’t help but reveal a delighted smile.

At this moment, his sidekick hurriedly complimented, “With Brother Qian’s skills, this will be a cinch!”

“No matter how strong Jiang Yuan is, he’s only at the fourth level of the Meridian-Breaking Realm. How could he compete with Brother Qian!”

“Brother Qian is a master at the seventh level of the Meridian-Breaking Realm! One shot from his bow will make even the grand masters at the ninth level of the Meridian-Breaking Realm avoid its sharpness!”

A smile appeared on Qian Lang’s face, “Of course, the bow is inherently domineering. My Meteor Arrow technique has reached the point of ‘minor success’, and it’s not far from ‘great success’.”

“If we’re in an open area, even if a master at the ninth level of the Meridian-Breaking Realm…no…an expert at the eighth level of the Meridian-Breaking Realm comes along, I can still shoot him down on the spot!”

“What’s more, they will be in the air, making them just sitting ducks! Furthermore, their cultivation realms are below mine!”.

He extended a finger, “If I want to kill them, I only need one arrow for all three. One arrow, three kills – that’s how to use a bow. Of course, today we need to leave a survivor to extract the secret from them.”

The sidekick immediately praised, “Brother Qian is so bold! You are undoubtedly a rising star in the Supreme Mystery Sect.”
