I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Chapter 286: Chapter 173: Longevity Soars

At the same time, after three years of cultivation, the Middle Stage of Golden Core arrived as promised.

Breaking through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core, the magical power within the dantian surged more than double.

With the improvement in realms, the gap between each minor realm grows ever larger.

Compared to a True Core, the Golden Core’s magical power is more refined and pure, at least fifty percent more powerful than the same realm.

Within the Triple Array, Li Jizhou felt the fluctuations of magical power in his dantian. Thanks to the refining effect of the Evergreen Skill’s yearly cycle, though he had just entered the Middle Stage of Golden Core, the aura of magical power in his dantian was no less impressive than that of Nie Jinghong, who had been in the same stage for decades.

He was even stronger than Yu Ziyu, who had reached the Middle Stage of Golden Core twenty years earlier.

However, if it came to actual combat, due to the weaponry aspect, he might still be unable to meet them head-on.

After all, his life-bound magical artifact, the ten Immortal-Slaying Flying Sabers, were only at the Middle Grade magical treasure stage and couldn’t compete with their spiritual or even Spirit Treasure level weapons.

Of course, Li Jizhou never intended to engage in direct magical combat.

During these three years, Li Jizhou dedicated himself to cultivation in peace, though Guzhu City was far from tranquil.

First, people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect came to garrison, determined to root out the Withered Disc Gu King.

For two years, not only did the Guzhu City authorities bend over backwards to cooperate, but all the cultivators in the city dared not utter a word of complaint.

During those two years, Li Jizhou was subjected to multiple inspections.

He got a glimpse of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s prowess.

The small team of cultivators sent to Guzhu City for inspection included a Nascent Soul level Gu King as the leader.

Their Gu Skill divine abilities were truly extraordinary.

Yet, before the Ten Thousand Poison Sect matter was resolved, Guzhu City erupted in another anomaly.

An Ruoxi, the prized disciple of Guzhu True Monarch, led a treasure hunt, but never returned, and her soul tablet shattered.

Upon investigation, not only An Ruoxi, but eight other disciples of Guzhu City perished.

Further inspection revealed that the entire Hongtian team was missing and feared to have met a similar fate.

This filled Guzhu True Monarch with rage and an overwhelming sense of intuition.

Speculating that they may have encountered an extraordinary opportunity.

Suddenly, the entire Immortal Seeking Team of Guzhu City turned out, attempting to uncover the monumental opportunity that buried An Ruoxi and the Hongtian team.

However, this effort was destined to be in vain.

After three years, the matter was essentially concluded—Fairy An and the Hongtian team most likely encountered an opportunity and risk akin to the Demon Emperor’s tomb, ultimately perishing within.

In addition, during these three years, Li Jizhou acquired a few more advanced Tier Three talismans.

Now the puppet dared not release Master Liuli’s life essence, so it is temporarily unable to manifest.

Guagua remains unaccounted for,

So currently, Li Jizhou’s external forces include the Tier Three Fire Spirit Bai Yi, the quasi-Fourth Tier Ghost Shadow Puppet, and his stock of talismans, medical poison, and arrays.

“Master Li, it’s time to help my master with treatment again.” At this moment, Master Liuli’s maid softly reminded him.

Li Jizhou nodded: “Alright, please ask Fairy Liuli to wait a bit, I will be there shortly.”

Three years ago, in an emergency, to replicate Master Liuli’s bloodline aura, Li Jizhou had to employ his Tier Three healer expertise.

When he first met Master Liuli, he noticed something unusual about her physique, though he never paid it much attention.

Then, three years ago, to replicate her life essence swiftly, he enlisted the help of Yu Ziyu, revealed his Tier Three healer skills, diagnosed her, and instantly revealed she had been poisoned.

For the next three years, he personally treated her every three months.

Today it was time for treatment again.

After a brief tidying up, Li Jizhou easily made his way to Master Liuli’s chamber.

“Master Li, I must trouble you again!” Master Liuli was already lying compliantly on the warm jade bed at this moment.

Over the past three years, with more than a dozen treatments, they had become familiar with each other.

Moreover, Master Liuli, due to the poisoning from fifty years ago, had ceased progressing in cultivation, and was very eager for improvement.

Therefore, she always cooperated fully with the treatments.

Li Jizhou stood by the warm jade bed, casting an appreciative glance at Master Liuli’s body, partially obscured by a sheer veil.

He then placed his hands on her back, from the cervical spine to the coccyx, channeling energy along the entire spine.

With the familiar, warm vitality from Li Jizhou’s palms entering her body, An Liuli couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

This comfort made her feel as if all the meridians in her body were gradually awakening, a salvation for the melancholy that had troubled her for nearly a full cycle.

Once the energy flow along the spine was completed, without a word from Li Jizhou, An Liuli turned over on her own.

Compared to the sweetness at the back, the view up front was appreciably better.

This time, having successfully refined the Lifespan Extension Pill, Li Jizhou felt a sense of joy, and his techniques varied slightly from the dozen previous treatments.

Especially because it was due to An Liuli’s bloodline legacy three years ago that she could safely escape the relics of the Moon Worship Dynasty and even temporarily control a quasi-Immortal Artifact along with two Immortal Scriptures.

This time, Li Jizhou decided to infuse even more vitality, aiming to completely heal her.

This indeed brought a fresh sensation to An Liuli.

As Li Jizhou infused limitless vitality into her, dispersing it from the danzhong outward, soon An Liuli’s capillaries started oozing black blood.

This black blood was the strange poison she had suffered from fifty years ago, which countless doctors failed to cure. Although not fatal, the toxic blood had blocked her path of cultivation and severed the ancestral heritage wish of her generation.

Three years ago, Li Jizhou had extracted and replicated her bloodline aura through this toxic blood, achieving success.
