The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1007 - 545: Xiangyun Peak (Part 2)

This building is very large. Apart from a long table, the ground floor is completely empty. Behind the table, an old man sits, eyes closed, meditating. All disciples wishing to pass place their identity badges on the table. Under the shimmering glow, they respectfully proceed.

Imitating others, Yan Xiaobao placed his identity badge on the table. It took a moment to glow before he picked it up and followed the other disciples upstairs to the second floor.

This floor is filled with many shelves, containing jade or occasional bamboo scrolls. All of them glowed brightly, making the second floor of the Holy Scripture Hall an extraordinary place.

Seeing another staircase, Yan Xiaobao looked around then walked over. However, when he tried to step onto it, his foot bounced back.

A young man sat nearby, holding a bamboo scroll with straight eyebrows. Sensing what was happening, he looked up at Yan Xiaobao.

Yan Xiaobao expressed his most charming expression and then curiously asked the young man, "Brother, what qualifications do you need to go there?"

"What, are you new here?" the young man slowly replied. "You must be at the fifth level of Qi Condensation to go up there." Then, he continued reading the bamboo scroll.

Yan Xiaobao could tell the young man did not want to be disturbed. Forgetting about the third floor, he began wandering around the second floor. Occasionally, he would pick up a jade slab to check, or look at some bamboo scrolls. He saw various magical skills, all of which looked very exciting.

Especially a thing called Flame Dao Magic Technique, this technique seemed particularly special.

After a while, he found a jade with descriptions and images from the fourth to eighth level of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Technique. He quickly grabbed it and continued to stroll.

Time passed, and soon it was evening. Yan Xiaobao had browsed seventy percent of the second floor, and by now, the crowd was thinning.

"These eight look really incredible…" he thought, looking at his selections. One was a bamboo scroll, a bit worn, but when his eyes saw it, they excitedly widened.

"Immortal Eternal Life Skill!"

When he checked the introduction to the skill, he took a deep breath. Apparently, cultivating this technique to the ultimate level would make a person immortal and able to live forever.

Breathing heavily, he checked the name of the technique again and then decided it was his choice!

For immortality, he began practicing cultivation, thus finding such a technique almost seemed mystically connected by fate. He smiled enthusiastically as he descended the stairs, holding the bamboo scroll in his hand.

Back in the main hall on the ground floor, the old man still sat behind the table, eyes closed, looking exactly the same as before. However, as soon as Yan Xiaobao placed the jade slip of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Technique and the bamboo scroll of the Immortal Eternal Life Skill on the table, the man's eyes slowly opened.

He looked Yan Xiaobao up and down, which made Yan Xiaobao tremble. The man's gaze felt like lightning. Trembling, Yan Xiaobao immediately showed his most respectful expression.

Thankfully, the elder quickly looked down at Yan Xiaobao's identity badge.

"A newly promoted disciple can copy the first eight levels of the Purple Qi Cauldron Control Technique," the elder slowly said, in a hoarse voice. "They can also choose a technique to their liking." Then his gaze fell upon the bamboo scroll of the Immortal Eternal Life Skill, he frowned slightly.

"Although the name of this technique sounds impressive, it is incomplete. Moreover, the more you cultivate it, the more difficult it becomes. The pain is so unbearable that ordinary people cannot endure it. Even most inner sect disciples cannot successfully cultivate it. Most give up. It has been in the Holy Scripture Hall for quite some time. Are you sure you want this magical technique?" the elder looked at Yan Xiaobao.

Upon hearing the elder's words, Yan Xiaobao felt this technique has been waiting here for years. Then he thought again of the words "immortal" and "live forever," his blood seemed to boil. He immediately responded, "Elder, I definitely want it, very much!"

The elder said nothing further to dissuade him. He waved his right hand, causing two blank jades to fly out. Copies were made, then he handed them to Yan Xiaobao, no longer paying attention to him, and returned to meditation.

Yan Xiaobao took the jades. He gazed with anticipation, left the Holy Scripture Hall, and returned to his courtyard dwelling.

When he returned, it was already nighttime. Entering his small cabin once again, he sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, then pulled out the Immortal Eternal Life Skill. He transmitted his spiritual energy and sent it into the jade. After closing his eyes, the magical spell of the technique appeared in his mind.

An hour later, he opened his eyes again, showing a thoughtful expression.

Just as the elder had said, the Immortal Eternal Life Skill was incomplete. According to the description, the technique cultivated through both internal and external means. It was further subdivided into the outer aspects of skin, muscles, and tendons.

The internal aspect was bones and blood.

As for this incomplete version, it only contained the technique to cultivate the skin. Moreover, the cultivation method indeed seemed torturous. Additionally, cultivating it required a lot of resources. However, several secret magics listed within seemed almost unbelievable. For example, there was a thing called Throat Crushing Grasp, reportedly unparalleled.

Yan Xiaobao hesitated, then looked again at "immortal" and "live forever." Finally, his eyes were full of determination, and he began to strike different positions on his body with his hands, as described in the information.

Yan Xiaobao focused on being undead, living far longer than others. Therefore, he completely followed the required techniques and beat himself relentlessly throughout the night.

The next day, he was entirely injured. Whether standing up or sitting down didn't matter. Even lifting his arms hurt. However, he gritted his teeth and continued to do as the technique manual advised, forcing himself to move.

"Owwwwwww.... Relax and bend.... aaaaoooowwwww.... Bend and relax!" he said, repeating lines from the technique, as he hopped around the courtyard. He let out one miserable scream after another, tears streaming down his face. Ultimately, he gritted his teeth, grabbed some Spirit Stones, and headed downhill.

He thought if he had to move around, he might as well go out and purchase the herbal plants he needed to get longevity pills to extend life. This was much better than exercising in his courtyard.

Soon, many Outer Sect disciples on Xiangyun Peak saw a very strange spectacle. There was a pale-faced young man bouncing around in a very weird manner. He also cried out in a way that sounded nearly euphoric at the top of his lungs.

"Ah ah, oh oh! Ah ah, oh oh! Hahaha..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Yan Xiaobao didn't want to cry out, but the pain was too much. In fact, it hurt so much that he was sure it would hurt even if he didn't move. However, all he had to do was think of the words "immortal" and "live forever," and he continued with stubborn determination. Thus, he kept going until he reached the market outside the sect.

Trembling, he bought all the medicinal plants he needed, along with some monochrome firewood. Bicolor firewood was much more expensive, so he only bought one piece. After that, he ran out of Spirit Stones.

Grinding his teeth, he returned to the Missionary Office and submitted the tasks he'd performed when he was still a servant. In return, he obtained the longevity pills to extend aging.

The pills were yellow, about the size of his thumbnail, emitting a strange medicinal fragrance. He looked at the pills, his body still burning so much he could barely speak. Sweat poured down, soaking him completely.

Gritting his teeth, he climbed the steps of Xiangyun Peak, leaving a trail of sweat behind him. He received some surprised or even skeptical glances from other disciples of the Outer Sect. After all, he was sweating far beyond normal circumstances.

He truly wasn't sure what was happening. When he returned to his courtyard residence, it was the middle of the night. He walked inside and collapsed onto the ground.

Despite being drowsy, the pain kept him awake several times throughout the night. When dawn light spread across the sky, he awoke to realize the pain was gone.
