My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences - Chapter 159

159 Flame of Longevity

“Do you know what a forbidden technique is?” Elder Erlong squinted at Qin Huai.

Qin Huai pondered for a moment. “It’s a move with extraordinary effects but certain damage to the body?”

“That’s right, but it’s not completely right.

“Forbidden techniques are called forbidden because they can allow a weak person to suddenly explode with astonishing power. Using it will make others afraid, make them afraid, but they do not have the courage or the ability to cultivate it.”

!!
Elder Erlong stroked his unkempt beard and chuckled. “And the strength of a forbidden technique is closely related to the price paid. The more you lose, the more powerful a successful forbidden technique will be.”

Qin Huai nodded and listened quietly. In the words of his previous life, it was like the conservation of all things.

“Some people’s forbidden techniques will cause their qi and blood to weaken, some people’s forbidden techniques will cause a setback to their cultivation techniques, and some will pay the price of using their flesh and blood as the forbidden technique.

“But after my continuous exploration, I finally discovered that lifespan has the best effect.”

Elder Erlong was very profound, but Qin Huai, who was watching from the side, was somewhat puzzled. He sized up this Grandmaster.

“Grandmaster, you tried it at the cost of your flesh and blood?” Qin Huai was surprised. He saw that Elder Erlong was very energetic and that his qi and blood were also unusually full.

“How could I be so stupid?!” Elder Erlong frowned. “I’ll figure out the key to the forbidden technique, then let the other people in the sect try it. I’ll take notes.”

“Would the other senior and junior brothers in the sect be willing to do so?”

“Why not?”

Elder Erlong asked in return. “Close your eyes and think about it. Your aptitude is average, and your parents suddenly committed suicide on a rainy night when they were talking and laughing because they offended a strong master. Your childhood sweetheart got engaged to your arch-enemy because of your incompetence. The blood relatives in the clan treated you coldly.”

Elder Erlong’s voice suddenly became powerful. “Then suddenly, there’s a powerful being in front of you, and he’s going to throw you a forbidden technique!

“If you learn it, you can avenge your parents. You can make your childhood sweetheart cry on the bed of your enemy all night long. You can make your blood relatives in the clan live in fear and flatter you every day…”

Pa!

Elder Erlong patted Qin Huai’s shoulder fiercely. “Do you want to practice such a forbidden technique?”

“Of course, I’m going to refine it. So Master was also constantly screening people? And then pretend to be such an existence in front of them?”

“Naturally, my words are all decided, and I’ve prepared a lot of rhetoric.” Elder Erlong was very proud, but a hint of disappointment appeared on his face as he ridiculed, “However, in these twenty years, the Dao hearts of some brats have really been very fragile.

“Many little ghosts don’t have so much bitterness and deep hatred. Just because someone has humiliated them, they feel indignant and want to cultivate forbidden techniques to fight to the death.

“By the way, I once wanted to teach Sun Yuanshan, that little brat, but he refused.”

“What’s the reason for Master’s refusal?” Qin Huai asked curiously. “You want longevity?”

“More or less. Although his aptitude isn’t too good, his comprehension is not bad.

“Before he left, he tried to change the martial skill of the long breath technique, the dragon out of the nest, into a forbidden skill, but he failed after years of study.” Elder Erlong shook her head regretfully.

“Master has succeeded,” Qin Huai replied. “Not only did Master successfully cultivate it, but he also passed down this forbidden technique.”

“Is that so?” A trace of surprise flashed across Elder Erlong’s face. “If I remember correctly, that kid’s idea should be to detonate the white dragon… Show me.”

“Alright.” Qin Huai put some distance between them.

As he faced the mountain, his breathing became slower. In his dantian, the white dragon that was originally clad in purple armor and had gradually turned into a purple dragon was slowly stripped away by Qin Huai using ‘qi’.

The next moment, a white light spot appeared on the tip of his fist.

BOOM!

The mountain in front of him suddenly trembled, large rocks fell, and a cloud of dust rose.

“It looks pretty good.” A trace of relief flashed through Elder Erlong’s eyes, but his expression did not change much. “However, compared to the forbidden technique that I’ve developed, it’s still far from it.”

“Please enlighten me, Grandmaster.” Qin Huai was very respectful.

“Follow me.” Elder Erlong gave Qin Huai a look.

The two of them quickly walked into the depths of the mountain forest. At this moment, there was only the tail of the winter left, but the snowflakes on the ground were still falling like goose feathers.

The full moon hung high in the sky, but there was no warmth. If there were no accidents, this spring would be a cold one.

Qin Huai and his companion walked deep into the mountains and saw many rabbits and snakes that had already woken up. There were also traces of big bears.

After some time, the two of them were standing under a tree. They were already at the edge of the Nine Dragons sect.

“I’ve already told you before that you and I can cultivate the art of longevity, not to let us live in vain. It’s for martial artists like you and me to turn our life spans into battle strength, to surpass our peers, and crush them!” Elder Erlong argued.

His comments opened up a new understanding of ‘longevity’ for Qin Huai.

“The forbidden technique that I’m going to teach you is a technique that perfectly matches the transformation between lifespan and combat strength.

“This forbidden technique is called the flame of longevity!” As Elder Erlong spoke, he pulled out two knives from somewhere. “You take this one.”

Qin Huai hurriedly caught the long knife Elder Erlong had thrown at him.

A blade of the thousand refined level was enough to equip an elite soldier. Both Song Lian’s and Hu Guanpan’s armies used this standard.

“Hold it and don’t move.” Elder Erlong’s voice was low, his eyes focusing. “Look clearly, don’t blink!”
