158 Dark Orange Experience Ball! The True Way to Immortality!
Elder Erlong gave off the feeling of an immortal with a ruddy complexion and white hair.
“Disciple, since you’ve acknowledged me as your master, I’ll definitely teach you true skills!” Elder Erlong said solemnly. “I have many unique skills, but there is a prerequisite to learning them. If you want to learn my ultimate technique, you have to first cultivate the True Path sect’s precious treasure, the concealment of spirit!”
“Qin Huai is all ears.” Qin Huai took this matter seriously and took the rubbings of the cultivation method handed over by Elder Erlong.
“The concealment of spirit and qi is the true way to immortality of the True Path sect. This cultivation technique is profound and obscure, and the threshold is extremely high.
“In my vast True Path sect, there are only a few dozen people who have successfully cultivated this technique. This technique depends on cultivation, and it emphasizes comprehension and the state of mind!
“Countless heaven’s favorites have lost to this technique, but you’re different. I knew from the first time I saw you that you might be different.
“Listen carefully. A man’s body is always one with his spirit. The form was in charge of death, while the mind was in charge of life. If they were together, it would be good, but if they were gone, it would be bad.
“Without spirit, one would die, and with spirit, one would live. When they were combined, they could exist for a long time. It often causes the mind to be scattered, not gathering in the body, and instead ordering the messenger to move with the thoughts of the person. That’s why the sage taught us to guard one, and said that he should guard one body. Hugging one is also refining the spirit…”
Qin Huai silently circulated his cultivation technique as he listened to Elder Erlong’s mumbling.
His body and soul were in chaos, and he was at a loss. However, this did not stop him from cultivating this method.
He opened his eyes and looked at Elder Erlong, who seemed to have entered the path of cultivation.
Suddenly, a dark orange experience ball dropped from his body.
“Ding! You have collected an [Concealment of Spirit and Qi Essence] (Dark Orange), [Concealment of Spirit and Qi] Experience +48888!”
Qin Huai looked at the line of numbers that flashed before his eyes and could not help but be shocked.
In the next moment…
He felt refreshed. It was as if his body was one with heaven and earth, and the qi and blood in his body calmed down.
In just a short moment, Qin Huai felt that he had stepped into an extremely mysterious realm.
In his memory, he was wandering in the streams in the mountains, and he was pacing on the green grass. It was not as vast as a white dragon, nor as ferocious as a tiger or wolf.
His state of mind was peaceful, and he was at ease.
In front of him…
Qin Huai looked at his personal panel.

[Vitality]: 98.621
[Cultivation Methods]: [Long Breath technique (level 69, (2001/7000)], [Blood Heart technique (level 40, 221/5000)], [Rumbling Thunder skill (level 40, 39/5000)], [Four-directional Tiger-wolf technique (level 50, 887/6000)], [Concealment of Spirit and Qi (level 24, 2888/3000)], [Breath Control technique (level 13, 875/1000) ], [Spirit Eye technique (level 10, 633/1000) ], [Mountain Splitting Blade Technique (level 2, 117/1000)], [Roaring Tiger Fist (level 2, 155/1000）

Qin Huai’s gaze was fixed. He looked at the number behind his [ Lifespan ] in disbelief.
If he remembered correctly, before he picked up the experience points, the number should have been 161. Now, it has risen to 281!
His lifespan had increased by 120 years?
Qin Huai was stunned. This was because he had cultivated a cultivation technique that could prolong one’s life.
The original simplified version of the long breath technique was the same for both life-force skills and the breathing technique.
However, even though these two cultivation techniques increased his lifespan by a lot, it was still within an acceptable range.
But this concealment of spirit…
He had only cultivated to level 24, but his lifespan had increased by 120 years. Didn’t this mean that one level would increase one’s lifespan by five years?
If he cultivated to level 100, he would be able to live for 500 years if he stayed in a quiet little city without any disasters or illnesses?
It was so terrifying…
Qin Huai couldn’t help but be shocked. As expected of the True Path sect’s treasure. It was truly miraculous.
“How is it? Do you have any enlightenment…” Elder Erlong turned around and looked at the dazed Qin Huai.
He stroked his beard with a smile, “It’s fine. It’s normal to not comprehend it the first time. After all, the threshold for this True Path sect treasure is extremely high.
“It’s also very obscure. It’s not like ordinary cultivation techniques. Even with my talent, it took me twenty hours to reach the threshold.”
Elder Erlong pulled Qin Huai up.
“I see, then I can rest assured.” The disappointment on Qin Huai’s face disappeared just right.
It wasn’t easy for him to reveal that he had already reached more than twenty levels of the concealment of spirit and qi. After all, this was too shocking.
In the entire True Path sect, only a few dozen people had successfully cultivated this technique, and now, he had cultivated to level 20 in just a few minutes. If he was discovered, he would definitely be treated as a white mouse.
“You have to go back and reflect on what I’ve said today. Strive to enter the beginner level of the concealment of spirit and qi as soon as possible.” Elder Erlong solemnly patted Qin Huai’s shoulder.
“Thank you for your teachings, Grandmaster!” Qin Huai cupped his fists and turned to leave the mountain.
Elder Erlong looked at Qin Huai’s back with relief, then…
His expression suddenly changed.
“Wait!” He ran over and grabbed Qin Huai’s shoulder. “You… You’ve learned it?”
This was the second time he was shocked today, and also the second time he was shocked in thirty years! What was going on with this kid?
“I…”
“You must have learned it! You can’t lie to me! You’re really a genius. My premonition was right!” Elder Erlong’s face was red.
“I… I am indeed very compatible with this type of longevity art.” Qin Huai was still trying to hide it.
But Elder Erlong’s brows furrowed. “Remember, the longevity technique is only an auxiliary use. What’s the point of living so long? The purpose of living long is to convert lifespan into combat power! What’s the fastest way to increase one’s combat strength?”
Qin Huai pondered. “A forbidden technique? ”
“Hahaha! You’re worthy of being taught! Our true talent, master and disciple, is to cultivate forbidden techniques!”
