Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 222 - 153: Great Disaster (3)

Hu Yong and Yuan Zeng both nodded.

’Calm down, calm down. No need to scare myself. I haven’t cultivated that Inner Power Heart Method, so what am I panicking for?’

’Master already said it. That Inner Power Heart Method is a technique for experts who have already opened their Dantian and Qi Sea. All I have in my abdomen is a single Qi Vortex. Forget a Qi Sea—I don’t even have a tiny river or stream. So what if I saw the Inner Power Heart Method? I couldn’t cultivate it even if I wanted to.’ 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Chu Lingguang comforted himself, trying not to let his imagination run wild or be frightened by things that were impossible.

’Yesterday, I combined the Chang Chun Pile Skill and the Day and Night Breathing Technique, which helped me gradually forget the pain that felt like my bloodline was being torn apart. I wonder if the value for the Chang Chun Pile Skill changed after yesterday’s breakthrough.’

Chu Lingguang muttered to himself.

He then checked the information on his panel.

Favors: None

Chang Chun Pile Skill (222-2000)

Circulation Operation Skill (191-1000)

Great River Operation Method (0-4000)

Mixed Element Skill (0-10000)

(Remaining Lifespan: 120 years)

Chu Lingguang’s face lit up with joy. Combining the Chang Chun Pile Skill and the Day and Night Breathing Technique had unwittingly improved his mastery of the Chang Chun Pile Skill.

The value had increased by several points without him even realizing it.

In the future, as long as he continued combining the Chang Chun Pile Skill with the Day and Night Breathing Technique, trained diligently every day, and used Favor Points to help, he could cultivate this Pile Skill to Perfection. By then, his strength would surely see a major improvement.

Chu Lingguang was very satisfied.

"Hm?"

But just then, he noticed the final entry on the panel.

’Mixed Element Skill?’

’What the heck is this?’

Chu Lingguang read it over several times. It was indeed three words, not the Zhenyuan Pile Skill or something like that.

’No way!’

’I don’t even know how to cultivate it. How did it get added to the panel?’

Chu Lingguang started to panic.

「Three hours later.」

Guo Wei returned from Mr. Liu’s and said to Chu Lingguang, "Mr. Liu came across this Mixed Element Skill by accident. He didn’t know it was the Royal Family’s Inner Power Heart Method. But just in case, I’ve instructed him not to mention the Skin Shaft to anyone."

"You must also forget this ever happened. Act as if you’ve never seen this Mixed Element Skill."

Guo Wei said in a grave tone.

Chu Lingguang stared at him blankly. ’So it really is called the Mixed Element Skill.’

"Did you hear a word I said?"

Seeing Chu Lingguang’s dazed expression, Guo Wei became a little irritated.

"Master, I’ll remember. I have never seen the Mixed Element Skill, and Mr. Liu never gave me anything."

Chu Lingguang said, his head lowered.

"Don’t worry. You haven’t learned this technique, and you couldn’t even if you wanted to at your current level. Even if Mr. Liu accidentally lets something slip and the Court traces it back to you, they won’t find any evidence that you’ve cultivated the Mixed Element Skill. They won’t do anything to you."

Guo Wei could see that Chu Lingguang was frightened, and offered some words of comfort.

"I understand, Master. Oh, by the way, how do you plan to dispose of it?"

Chu Lingguang’s gaze fell on the Skin Shaft in Guo Wei’s hand.

"Burn it. The Royal Family’s Inner Power Heart Method is not something to be trifled with."

Guo Wei tore the Skin Shaft to pieces, then led Chu Lingguang to the kitchen. He tossed the fragments into the earthen stove and set them ablaze, burning them until not even ash remained.

Chu Lingguang watched the flames roar, his expression numb. After all, this was an Inner Power Heart Method from the Imperial Family, one that only the Royal Family and Nobility were permitted to cultivate.

From the change in Guo Wei’s expression the moment he saw the Skin Shaft, it was clear the Mixed Element Skill could be of critical help to his own cultivation.

Yet Guo Wei showed no hint of attachment.

He simply burned it, just like that.

No hesitation whatsoever.

It was truly admirable.

Chu Lingguang admitted to himself that if he had already opened his Dantian and Qi Sea and was able to cultivate the Mixed Element Skill, he could never have been as decisive as Guo Wei.

However, the line of text that appeared before his eyes next was like a bolt of lightning.

(Guo Wei’s favor has been repaid. Acquired 1,367 Favor Points.)
