Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

As night fell, the moon hung high in the sky.

In the cave, Lin Xuankong sat on a stone bed carved out by Zhao Yufei using her weapon, burping repeatedly.

Zhao Yufei looked at him with some concern. "Although the organs of a Martial Cultivator are refined and their digestive abilities far exceed those of ordinary people, what you ate wasn't ordinary food. All of it was Tier Three Demon Flesh! Next time, please don't eat like this. What if it harms your body?"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, circulating his Qi Blood into his organs to speed up digestion.

Zhao Yufei said, "I'll get some water. I got blood all over me when cleaning the Ghost Toad Pouch, so I need to wash my Daoist Robe!"

More than an hour later, the bloating feeling in his stomach finally began to subside.

[Perfect Qi Blood: 10091/500000]

[Poison Resistance: Mortal Tier Eighth Grade 218.6/400]

Staring at the large characters in his Life Plate, Lin Xuankong felt a strong sense of satisfaction rising in his heart, his face filled with pleasant surprise. My Poison Resistance has already reached Mortal Tier Eighth Grade...

After consuming a full twenty pounds of Ghost Toad Flesh and fifty Ghost Toad Eggs, the speed at which his Poison Resistance increased was like ascending to the heavens with an immortal family's Magical Treasure!

The speed at which his Qi Blood increased was like stepping on the mythological Somersault Cloud, reaching over ten thousand points of Perfect Qi Blood for the first time!

With such a reserve of Qi Blood, how could this be called a Blood Ox? This is a true Super Five-Flavored Blood Ox! If an ordinary Martial Cultivator had the Ghost Toad Flesh and eggs, they wouldn't be able to store so much Qi Blood, let alone improve their Poison Resistance as swiftly as I can! After resting today, if I eat the remaining fifty Ghost Toad Eggs tomorrow morning, I should be able to replenish several thousand more points of Perfect Qi Blood. My Poison Resistance might even have a chance to reach Ninth Grade! If I truly reach Ninth Grade Poison Resistance, the Demon Poisons from First to Ninth Tier demons will no longer affect me! The Demon Poison of a Ninth-Tier demon could probably easily kill someone like Prefect Liy or Elder Hua of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect... My Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate is indeed miraculous! The potency of being Vigorous in Old Age isn't just about accelerating cultivation speed; this ability to reduce consumption and enhance the effects of elixirs and Spiritual Objects is incredibly potent as well!

SPLASH, SPLASH...

The sound of water suddenly came. Lin Xuankong turned his head and saw some water splashing out from the curved inner corner of the cave.

(As Lin Xuankong planned to rest for the night and set off the next day, the four members of the Han Family had voluntarily given up the cave. They had gone into the jungle, selected a few large trees, and constructed some simple treehouses... Thus, only Lin Xuankong and Zhao Yufei remained in the depths of the cave.)

Hearing the water, Lin Xuankong then remembered that while he was quietly cultivating and digesting his food, Zhao Yufei had said she got bloodstains all over herself from cleaning the Ghost Toad Pouch and intended to wash her clothes thoroughly. So, she carved out a stone basin, fetched some water, and is washing her clothes?

Upon hearing the sound of water, Lin Xuankong, who hadn't washed since entering the Demon-Suppressing Valley, suddenly felt itchy all over.

At that moment, the sound of water stopped.

A moment later, Zhao Yufei, wearing only thin undergarments, came out from around the corner holding her Daoist Robe.

Under the dim light in the cave, Lin Xuankong's eyes flickered slightly. The cold and charming Daoist Nun had taken off her wide Daoist Robe, revealing her stunning figure beneath her thin undergarments. Under the dim light, she possessed an added, distinct beauty!

Having just had a substantial meal, Lin Xuankong suddenly felt his Qi Blood surging. He looked at Zhao Yufei. "I'll go wash too!"

"Mm, I fetched an extra basin of water!"

Soon after, Lin Xuankong finished washing absent-mindedly and walked out from around the corner.

He saw a soft piece of Python Skin spread on the stone bed, where Zhao Yufei lay with her back to him, seemingly asleep!

Lin Xuankong walked over and had just sat by the bed when Zhao Yufei's body seemed to tense up suddenly.

"Not asleep?" Lin Xuankong asked.

Zhao Yufei murmured a low "mm," turned to look at him, and whispered, "Husband, we still have to go to the gathering place tomorrow. Rest early!"

When Lin Xuankong heard the word "husband," his heart couldn't help but flutter.

At that moment, he didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, a gust of palm wind shot out, and the oil lamp beside them shattered into pieces, extinguishing on the spot!

A moment later, a voice came from the darkness.

"You ate so much just now, be careful!"

"I am Vigorous in Old Age; this is nothing!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

That night, the cave was far from peaceful, a restlessness that lasted until morning.

「Early the next morning,」

A slightly weary Zhao Yufei personally helped Lin Xuankong put on his Daoist Robe. Then, her cold and charming eyes, filled with a mix of surprise, joy, and shyness, watched Lin Xuankong walk out of the cave entrance.

Lin Xuankong, refreshed and invigorated, walked out of the cave to get some fresh air. He saw the four members of the Han Family looking in their direction from a distance and walked over. "How did the four of you rest last night?"

Han Feiyan's square face showed a peculiar expression; for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

The short Martial Cultivator next to him, Han Xiu, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin, we rested well! But..."

Lin Xuankong said, "But what?"

The short Martial Cultivator, Han Xiu, looked at him with deep respect. "Master Lin, you are Growing Stronger with Age. Your strength in all aspects far exceeds that of ordinary people by countless times. I am truly in awe!"

Lin Xuankong nodded. "Your name is Han Xiu, right?"

Being called by name by the fearsome old man, the short Martial Cultivator was rather flattered and surprised. "Indeed, I am called Han Xiu!"

Lin Xuankong nodded again and said, "Yesterday, you mentioned that before leaving, you didn't see any Martial Cultivators from other gathering places rushing over?"

The short Han Xiu cupped his hands. "We didn't see any! If others were rushing over, they would definitely be forced to work together!"

They hadn't gone over yesterday, but today might be different. After all, the tracks of those two are still heading towards the Zhen Character Gathering Place! However, today I haven't yet had the opportunity to consume the Ghost Toad Eggs, flesh, and Nourishing Spirit Pill. Before setting off, it's the perfect time to cultivate, consume them all, and enhance my overall strength!

Thinking of this, he said, "We will set off in an hour. Take me to the place where you stored the Ghost Toad Flesh!"

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the cave.

At this moment, Zhao Yufei, her limbs still feeling weak, had just reached the cave entrance. Seeing Lin Xuankong walk in with an expectant look, her pretty face registered surprise. "We're going back into the cave?"

「Nearly an hour later,」

After consuming a Nourishing Spirit Pill, fifty Ghost Toad Eggs, and over twenty pounds of Ghost Toad Flesh, Lin Xuankong was secretly circulating the Yin Talisman Heart Method for his cultivation.

Suddenly, he felt a tremor in his flesh and blood. An aura completely different from Qi Blood rose from deep within his body, spreading to every corner. This aura was full of boundless vitality, causing every bit of his flesh and blood to tremble and undergo Metamorphosis!

[Yin Talisman Technique: Attained Minor Success 60/232]

[Eight Gates Celestial Eye: Fifth Layer 34/200]

[Perfect Qi Blood: 14091/500000]

[Poison Resistance: Ninth Grade of the Mortal Tier 66/800]

[Heart Thought: Fifth Grade of the Mortal Tier 1/40]

Feeling the various changes in his body, Lin Xuankong was filled with joy.

The Divine Thunder Root of my Yin Talisman Technique is getting stronger and stronger! Under the tempering of the Divine Thunder, my head and bones are undergoing rapid Metamorphosis. Within a few more days, I should be able to advance to the mid-grade of the fourth layer! What's more gratifying is that after consuming the Nourishing Spirit Pill for many days, my Heart Thought's intensity has increased once again, astonishingly reaching the Fifth Grade of the Mortal Tier. It's been almost twenty days in total since I started consuming the Nourishing Spirit Pill! If it were other Martial Cultivators, who knows how many years and how many Nourishing and Protecting Spirit Elixirs they would need to raise their Heart Thought to such an intensity! With a Heart Thought intensity of the Fifth Grade of the Mortal Tier, very few Martial Cultivators will be able to resist the Entering Illusion of the Eight Gates Celestial Eye... In addition, after consuming a large amount of Ghost Toad Eggs and flesh, my Qi and Blood Reserves have increased by a large amount once again, reaching over fourteen thousand points! With this reserve, I could activate the Demon Pearl and Thunder Technique for who knows how long... Unfortunately, none of the opponents I've encountered so far can withstand my attacks for very long! The most gratifying thing is that my Poison Resistance has directly increased to the Ninth Grade of the Mortal Tier! With this level of Poison Resistance, looking across the entire Great Xia Dynasty, no demon's strange or evil Demon Poison should be able to affect me! Reductions in cultivation after being poisoned? Damage to my Heart Thought after being poisoned? Those should all be impossible now! However, it's best to try it out first!

Lin Xuankong thought for a moment and walked out of the cave.

Zhao Yufei, who was also cultivating nearby, suddenly revealed a joyful expression. "Husband, I feel that today while cultivating the Eight Gates Celestial Eye, I've gained a lot of insights. My progress is many, many times faster than usual!"

Seeing her so happy, Lin Xuankong pondered for a moment. "Perhaps it's related to my... busy night yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yufei bit her lip and glared at him. "How could that be possible!"

Lin Xuankong smiled. "Then why was your cultivation so much faster just this morning?"

After speaking, he continued to walk out of the cave.

Zhao Yufei sat on the stone bed, frowning slightly, shyness and astonishment flickering in her eyes.

Yes, why was my cultivation so much faster this morning? Could it really be related to what my husband... did last night...?

Leaving the cave, he walked towards the Ghost Toad King's corpse that had been thrown far away.

At this moment, Han Feiyan and the other three were waiting for him. Seeing him walking towards the Ghost Toad King's corpse, they couldn't help but look over.

In the blink of an eye, all four revealed faces of astonishment.

Zhao Yufei, who had followed Lin Xuankong out of the cave, saw this and her expression changed instantly. She rushed towards him, exclaiming, "Husband, what are you doing?! That's the Ghost Toad King's venom! Yesterday, when you were handling its corpse, just a little bit that you accidentally touched corroded your arm... Stop immediately!"

As she exclaimed, her heart pounded wildly. At this moment, Lin Xuankong had actually reached out, scooped up a large amount of the Ghost Toad King's venom, and was smearing it onto his own arm.

By the time she rushed to Lin Xuankong's side, his entire arm was already covered in venom.

It's over! This arm is ruined, and half his body will be too! We must use the Marsh Python Gall... Wasting half a drop of Marsh Python Gall juice to heal him is nothing, but the crucial point is, how could my husband dare to smear such an incredibly terrifying venom on himself?!
