Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

At the entrance of the Feixian Pavilion.

"Ruo Yun, are you... not seriously injured, right?"

The green-clad woman noticed Ruo Yun's strange walking posture and smirked ambiguously.

"Sister Shui Xian always likes to tease and make fun of me!"

Ruo Yun glanced at her lightly and couldn't help but turn her head to look in the direction Zhong Yan had left.

The green-clad woman approached and asked with a serious and concerned expression, "Do you have any special preferences? Are you really hurt?"

"No..."

Ruo Yun shook her head, feeling quite puzzled. She felt that Zhong Yan was in such a hurry, as if he was rushing to complete a task. He probably didn't have time to try those props. It's hard to say next time.

Shui Xian laughed, "That's good then. I specially recommended this handsome male cultivator to you, Ruo Yun. Did you give him a tip?"

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Shui Xian." Ruo Yun raised her hand and waved her five fingers, indicating five spirit stones.

"He's not bad!" Shui Xian exclaimed in surprise, her eyes rolling as if she was thinking about something.

After thinking for a moment, Ruo Yun whispered something to her.

"Seven times!"

Shui Xian widened her eyes and exclaimed, realizing that her voice was too loud. She looked around and pulled Ruo Yun inside while whispering, "So brave! You might exhaust yourself! Let me tell my mother, you should rest for a while."

"Thank you for understanding, Sister Shui Xian..."

As they walked to a corner of the corridor, Ruo Yun hesitated for a moment and handed a spirit stone to Shui Xian. "If he comes again next time, please help me arrange it, Sister."

"... " Shui Xian paused in her steps, covered her mouth and giggled, "Are you interested in him? Well, with such a handsome and generous appearance, hmm, and such strong combat power, I even want to learn martial arts from him!"

"Sister Shui Xian~" Ruo Yun dragged her words and gave her a stern look, shaking her sleeve.

"Alright, I won't argue with you!"

Shui Xian hurriedly smiled and then leaned closer to whisper, "You have to serve him well, capture his heart. We have so many sisters in the Feixian Pavilion, we rely on repeat customers to complete missions quickly."

"Yes, thank you for the advice, Sister Shui Xian. I will keep it in mind."

...

On the other side.

Zhong Yan arrived at the agreed tea stall, where Yang and Bai were already there.

Bai Siyuan smiled and teased, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, you look exhausted. Did you overexert yourself?"

"Apologies for keeping you waiting, both of you." Zhong Yan apologized with a cupped fist, feeling slightly embarrassed. He praised, "The reputation of the Feixian Pavilion is well-deserved!"

Laughter ensued.

The three of them chatted over tea about their experiences and feelings, then dispersed to purchase supplies.

After more than half an hour, they gathered at the market exit to return to the city. However, Yang Yanqing had other matters to attend to and needed to stay for a few more days.

They rode their horses.

"Zhong, Yang Yanqing might invite you to open a talisman shop again."

"Oh? Did he mention it to you?"

"It was implied in his words. He wanted me to pass on the message to you."

After a pause, Bai Siyuan continued, "If you're not interested, it's best to make it clear next time he brings it up. To avoid any misunderstandings. I reckon he's about to break through in the next year or two, getting closer to Foundation Building!"

"I understand!"

Zhong Yan nodded in agreement. Yang Yanqing was only in his fifties, and his chances of reaching Foundation Building were indeed not small.

A smooth journey.

Two days later, Zhong Yan returned home.

"Master is back!"

Xiao Huan shouted happily, and the wives and concubines surrounded him, joyfully calling him "husband"!

Zhong Yan embraced them from left to right, rubbing one's head and pinching another's cheek. Finally, he gently hugged his wife Jiang Ping and squatted down to listen to her pregnant belly.

Then he inquired about the situation at home during his absence, looked at his five children, and finally plunged into the cultivation room.

Checking the panel.

[Name: Zhong Yan]

[Age: 42]

[Spirit Roots: Fire 28% (217), Wood 19% (144), Metal 12% (0), Earth 8% (0)]

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Fourth Layer (662/80000)]

[Cultivation Technique: "Heavenly Fire Technique" (Intermediate 231/5000)]

[Spells: Gravity Technique (Elementary 5786/100000000), Fireball Technique (Elementary 3459/1000000), Fire Cloud Palm (Primary 5011/10000)...]

[Occupation: Talisman Crafting (First Rank Superior 786/60000)]

Staring at the system panel, even after two days, Zhong Yan's smile couldn't be concealed.

The spirit root woman was really amazing!

Not only did she have more cultivation experience, but she could also enhance the attributes of the spirit roots and improve aptitude!

Qualifications have improved, so why worry about not being able to build a foundation and having no hope in the Dao?

On the way back, Zhong Yan had already pondered over it repeatedly.

The additional column of 'spirit roots' on the panel is not difficult to understand. The percentage represents the purity of the spirit roots.

As is well known in the cultivation world, the quality of a cultivator's aptitude is not actually determined by the quantity of spirit root attributes, but rather by the purity of the spirit roots.

For example, although some cultivators may have four attributes, if one of their attributes is pure enough, their cultivation in the corresponding techniques can also quickly improve their realm.

On the other hand, even if someone has dual attribute true spirit roots, if their spirit roots are not pure enough, their cultivation speed will not be fast.

The key lies in the fact that, in general, the fewer attributes one has, the higher the purity of their spirit roots will be. With more attributes, the purity of the spirit roots will be lower due to mutual interference.

Over time, the standard for evaluating the quality of a cultivator's aptitude has become based on the quantity of spirit roots.

But it is not far off.

After all, it is rare for a cultivator with many spirit root attributes to have a particularly pure spirit root.

This is also why, even among cultivators with four attribute spirit roots, there are differences in their realms.

In addition to factors such as the strength of their spiritual sense, diligence, and luck, the key lies in the difference in the purity of their spirit roots.

Furthermore, Zhong Yan finally knew how absurdly low his aptitude was!

The highest fire attribute is less than thirty percent, no wonder his progress has been slow after so many years of cultivation.

He had heard the elder of the Fire Cloud Sect say that cultivators with single attribute heavenly spirit roots have a purity of over ninety-five percent, so their progress is rapid.

Especially in the low realms of Qi Refining and Foundation Building, there are no bottlenecks.

As long as there is enough spiritual energy, they can break through easily. During the Foundation Building stage, they don't even need to take the essential 'Foundation Building Pill' that ordinary cultivators must take.

"When my spirit roots are all raised to one hundred percent in the future, I will soar to the sky!"

Zhong Yan clenched his fist, his heart filled with excitement.

However, he did not blindly have confidence.

It is very difficult to reach one hundred percent!

[Spirit Roots: Fire 28% (217), Wood 19% (144), Metal 12% (0), Earth 8% (0)]

The panel indicates that it takes ten thousand experience points to increase one percentage point.

For example, for the fire attribute, it would require seven hundred and twenty thousand experience points.

Taking Ruoyun as an example, at its highest, it adds thirty points of fire attribute experience.

That would require twenty-four thousand times!

Just thinking about it makes one's back ache.

However, with the experience from the brothel, Zhong Yan also understood that if Ruoyun had a low aptitude, the result would definitely be different if he had intercourse with a female cultivator with a better aptitude.

There is another problem.

He asked Ruoyun, who has four spirit root attributes of gold, wood, water, and fire, but the result only added fire and wood.

It is not difficult to infer that the purity of the other party's gold and water spirit roots is lower, and they cannot meet the conditions for the system's specified bonuses.

In addition, the fluctuation in experience points for the other six times also requires careful consideration.

If Ruoyun has a special technique, the quality of pleasure is needless to say, it would be best!

But the two of them are just trading.

It is likely that there is not even a hint of emotion.

If he were to marry a woman with spirit roots and treat her well, and the favorability reached the level of Jiang Ping and Yan Sandao, the experience bonus would definitely increase.

...

Talking and talking.

In the end.

The most important thing is still the female cultivator!

The higher the aptitude, the better!

"I want a woman!"

"A woman with spirit roots!"

...

Outside.

The bright moon hung high, and the night was quiet.

Jiang Ping had just put his son to sleep and looked up at Yan Sandao, showing a questioning expression.

Yan Sandao shook her head, "The light in Chunyu's room is still on, and my husband is still in the cultivation room."

After a pause, she asked, "Could it be that Chunyu did something wrong and upset my husband?"

Jiang Ping thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer. My husband just came back and looks a bit tired. If he still doesn't go to her room in a few days, I will talk to her. If my husband goes to your place, you can also mention it and see what the reason is."

"Okay."
