Chapter 30: Cultivation Technique

After bringing Zhan Yihan to the cave and sitting down, Su Jinyue took out the wooden box on her back and opened it. She trusted Yihan completely.

Zhan Yihan was slightly startled when he saw the contents in the wooden box. He was a disciple of an ancient martial arts sect, and was already cultivating in ancient martial arts. Hence, when he saw the contents of the wooden box, he knew that they were meant to be used for cultivation.

When she saw Zhan Yihan’s expression, Su Jinyue could tell that he probably recognised these items. “Big Brother Yihan, have you seen these things before?” Aside from it being more secluded here, she had brought him here to share these things with him. His current unit most likely accepted various dangerous missions often. If these items could help him, she was willing to give them to him, as long as he could be safe.

“I’ve heard of the Body Cleanse Pill. The Body Cleanse Pill can remove impurities from the body and open up the body’s meridians, which is very good for cultivation.” Zhan Yihan picked up the bottle of the Body Cleanse Pills. He opened it and took a whiff of it. Immediately, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

As a disciple of an ancient martial sect, he could get his hands on many secrets that ordinary people did not know. This world might seem simple, but apart from a few people with special statuses in the country, ordinary people would never know that there were cultivators in this world. There were not only ancient martial arts cultivators, but there were also immortality cultivators. It was the immortality cultivators that were the truly terrifying existence.

However, most of the immortality cultivators lived in seclusion in the city. Aside from a handful of people who held important positions in the country, the others were pretty much out of sight. For example, there were immortality cultivators in famous sects such as the Maoshan Mountain Sect and the Five Sacred Mountains of the Daoists Sect. He heard that there were also immortality cultivators in his sect, but with his current ability, he was still not able to have a chance to interact with such powerful existences.

Su Jinyue’s eyes lit up as she said, “There are exactly two Body Cleanse Pills here. Let’s take one each.” Although she did not know how to cultivate, she knew that opening up the body meridians was extremely beneficial.

Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue with a trace of worry in his eyes as he said, “You have to go through an extremely painful process when you take the Body Cleanse Pill. Can you bear it?” He was fine with it and could endure any pain, but he was worried that Jinyue would not be able to withstand that process.

“Does opening up the body’s meridians help me become stronger?” Su Jinyue asked. This was what she was most concerned about now. Even though Song Yiren would not do anything to her in the near future, Song Yiren would not hold back for long after Yihan left. If she became stronger, she would not have to be afraid of the man in black.

“Opening up the body’s meridians will make your body lighter. If you have a good aptitude coupled with an appropriate cultivation technique, you can become stronger.” Zhan Yihan put down the Body Cleanse Pills. He then picked up the Immortality Cultivation Manual and flipped through it. The more he read, the more shocked he became. “This is actually an immortality cultivation technique!”

“What is an immortality cultivation technique?” Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Yihan in confusion.

“The cultivation technique is basically to store external energy inside one’s own body in order to improve one’s physique, so as to obtain the maximum potential development. Simply put, it helps to develop one’s potential and makes one stronger,” Zhan Yihan explained. His understanding of immortality cultivation was also rather superficial. He only knew that there were immortality cultivators in this world.

“In that case, can we cultivate with it?” Su Jinyue asked eagerly. It sounded pretty awesome. If she could cultivate, she would not have to be afraid of anything.

“We can give it a go,” Zhan Yihan said in uncertainty. He had never been exposed to the immortality cultivation technique, so he did not know if this technique was suitable for them to cultivate.

Su Jinyue picked up the Body Cleanse Pills and poured them out. She passed one to Zhan Yihan, and swallowed the other. “Let’s give it a go then.” She had even experienced death, what other pain could she not bear?

“Wait a second…” Zhan Yihan had originally intended to try the pill first and see if there was any problem with the Body Cleanse Pill. However, Su Jinyue had already swallowed the pill, so he could only shake his head helplessly and swallow it as well. If there was something wrong with the Body Cleanse Pill, let them bear it together. Hopefully, Jinyue would be able to survive the process.

The moment the Body Cleanse Pill entered her body, Su Jinyue immediately felt as if a fire was burning inside. Gradually, that feeling became stronger and an indescribably excruciating pain could be felt in her limbs and bones. It was as if her entire body had been set on fire.

Su Jinyue’s face turned increasingly paler and her forehead and body were already covered with beads of perspiration. She gritted her teeth hard and tried her best to bear this excruciating pain that felt like she was being ripped apart. As long as she could become stronger, she was willing to go through even the eighteen levels of hellish torture.

Time unknowingly passed by. Su Jinyue gradually felt the pain in her body slowly disappearing over time and in place was a cooling and comfortable feeling. She moaned in pleasure, and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Zhan Yihan looking at her with a smile on his face, her face flushed uncontrollably as she asked, “You’re done?”

Zhan Yihan smiled and nodded. He pointed to a basin of water and a set of clothes next to him. “You can go and wash up first. I’ll tell you about it later.” As an ancient martial cultivator, some of his body’s meridians had already been opened up, so his body naturally absorbed the Body Cleanse Pill much faster than her.

“Where did these come from?” Su Jinyue looked at the water and clothes in front of her in surprise. They had not brought these along with them when they came here.

“I went back to get them. I told Uncle Xu that you were gathering herbs in the mountains these past few days, so he doesn’t have to worry,” Zhan Yihan said with a smile.

“Few days?” Su Jinyue blinked in confusion.

“It’s been three days.” Seeing Su Jinyue’s cute expression, Zhan Yihan’s eyes were full of affection and he could not help but stretch out his hand to rub her hair.

“Three days?!” Su Jinyue’s eyes widened in shock.. She felt as if it had only been a short while. How could it be three days?
