Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Lin Xuankong was somewhat speechless. People from ancient times were truly a product of their era; they actually believed in swearing oaths.

Forget it. At this rate, even a mature, cold, and stunningly beautiful woman isn't afraid, so what am I afraid of? With a circulation of my Qi Blood, my whole body feels as strong as steel. What do I have to fear?

When I get home... I'll explain it properly to the Young Lady. If I buy more pies and pastries, it should be fine... It should be fine, right???

Hmph! This Daoist Zhao was previously so arrogant, always clashing with me for no reason. Now that we're to be husband and wife, just see how I'll return the favor—and harshly at that!

"Swear an oath then, swear it!"

"Alright!" Zhao Yufei's eyes lit up as she told Lin Xuankong the words needed for the Martial Dao oath.

The two immediately stepped off the wooden sledge, fashioned a platform from stone, and shaped earth into incense sticks, kneeling between Heaven and Earth.

"I, Zhao Yufei,"

"I, Lin Xuankong,"

"Swear by the future of my Martial Dao to become husband and wife with Lin Xuankong,"

"Swear by the future of my Martial Dao to become husband and wife with Zhao Yufei,"

"From this day forward, whether in poverty or wealth, health or illness, we will never forsake each other..."

"From this day forward, whether in poverty or wealth, health or illness, we will never forsake each other..."

After reciting the oaths, they kowtowed three times, then stood up.

However, at this moment, Zhao Yufei suddenly lost the imposing aura she had moments before. When she looked at Lin Xuankong, she didn't dare to meet his eyes.

She was an incredibly proud person. When young, she often fantasized about the kind of man she would marry... Now, she was betrothed to an "adversary" she had once repeatedly belittled. Yet, he was an unparalleled genius. Zhao Yufei's heart was naturally a whirlwind of complex emotions.

Lin Xuankong looked at the coolly alluring and voluptuous beauty before him, her head slightly bowed, and recalled everything that had passed between them. A wave of emotion also washed over him. Hesitating for a moment, he said, "Um... my dear, are you hungry? How about we eat something first?"

Zhao Yufei, tall and curvaceous, felt her thoughts become even more jumbled upon hearing him call her "my dear." "Mm, I'm not hungry," she said, then added, "Let's eat a little."

Lin Xuankong was momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, he felt the 'Vigorous in Old Age' Life Plate in his mind suddenly flash with light. Immediately after, several large characters on the Life Plate began to shimmer faintly:

[Yin Talisman Technique: Attained Minor Success 56/232]

[Heart Thought: Mortal Tier Fourth Grade 17/20]

Wife Zhao Yufei: Double Pupil Bloodline

[Eight Gates Celestial Eye: Fifth Layer 32/200]

[Beast Taming: 7/10]

[Flower Arranging: 8/10]

[Lip Reading: 6/10]

Immediately, a vast amount of experience related to Beast Taming, flower arranging, pruning plants, and Lip Reading flooded into his mind. This also included numerous insights, application techniques, and knacks for the Eight Gates Celestial Eye.

With so many new understandings flooding his mind, Lin Xuankong immediately sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and began to absorb them.

Zhao Yufei was somewhat surprised to see him suggest eating one moment, then suddenly sit cross-legged on the ground to cultivate the next.

She had initially intended to ask what was wrong. However, seeing him apparently circulating a Cultivation Technique, clearly in the midst of a sudden insight, she held her tongue. Instead, she quietly stood to one side, vigilantly scanning their surroundings to stand guard for him.

Still, a profound question echoed in her heart: How could he gain an insight into his Cultivation Technique merely from performing a marriage ritual by bowing to Heaven and Earth? So, this was the difference between an unparalleled genius and an ordinary one? To gain insights so readily, regardless of the activity? Unparalleled geniuses were truly different. It was astounding!

After a period equivalent to the time it takes to drink several cups of tea, Lin Xuankong opened his eyes, his period of insight concluded. As he looked around, his expression shifted.

The jungle foliage, the blades of grass before him, and even the distant Dragon Blood Fierce Dog—everything appeared incredibly distinct.

At his mere thought, his vision sharpened further. He could now clearly discern the leg of a louse on a split strand of hair at the very tip of that Dragon Blood Fierce Dog's tail!

Night was gradually falling. Yet, when he gazed into the distance, he could clearly see nameless wild fruits growing on the trees of a faraway mountain, tens of miles away!

To possess such terrifying visual acuity with the naked eye alone—it was truly worthy of the name Celestial Eye!

The most crucial thing was that my second Talent was indeed as unbelievably mystical as I had anticipated. As long as a woman genuinely pledged her heart to me, I could obtain her Cultivation Techniques and their proficiency levels!

This second Talent, when compared to my first Talent that greatly enhanced Cultivation Speed, was not inferior in the slightest. In fact, in terms of wondrous applications, it was even somewhat superior!

And Zhao Yufei's Talent was clearly excellent as well: the Double Pupil Bloodline. With her assistance, I can continuously benefit from the advancements and proficiency of the Eight Gates Celestial Eye in the future, practically without lifting a finger...

I've finally obtained the Eight Gates Celestial Eye. The first three layers of the Celestial Eye primarily enhanced Eye Power. What then, are the effects of the Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer?

Following the Eight Gates Celestial Eye Heart Method, he circulated his Qi Blood. In the next instant, the pupils in his eyes subtly shifted, gradually transforming into two dark Double Pupils.

Subsequently, the scene before him abruptly changed. Everything seemed to turn into ethereal images, and he found he could freely adjust his focal point, allowing him to see through all matter.

With a mere thought, he focused on the male dog that was lying beside the female, licking its fur. Instantly, all its fur seemed to vanish, revealing its bare skin.

Another thought, and the degree of 'transparency' increased further. A complete, constantly moving skeleton of the Dragon Blood Fierce Dog appeared, its writhing internal organs clearly visible!

Lin Xuankong turned his head, his gaze falling upon Zhao Yufei, who was vigilantly watching their surroundings.

A slight shift in his thought, and the sight before his eyes became incredibly... stimulating.
