"Seventy years of extended life, and proficiency increased by seventy points!!"

Feeling the genuine growth in his lifespan and the increase in his Longevity Skill proficiency, Xu Ping's mood was exceedingly joyful.

The first one increased his lifespan by forty years, the second by thirty.

Although these two weren't as effective as the first one he consumed, they were still quite satisfactory for him.

Out of habit, he opened the proficiency panel.

[Name: Xu Ping]

[Lifespan: 68/558 years]

[Realm: Late-Stage Foundation Establishment: 51/100; Blood Demon Body Refining Second Layer: 99/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill - Mastery: 801/1600]

...

"Lifespan has officially exceeded five hundred."

Xu Ping murmured to himself, his gaze resting on the high figure of five hundred and fifty-eight years, an involuntary satisfied smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

This had entirely reached the lifespan of a Golden Core Cultivator.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator possessing the lifespan of a Golden Core Cultivator was beyond the realm of an ordinary cultivator's understanding. More important, this was far from the limit of his lifespan.

As long as he could find more longevity-extending spiritual objects, his lifespan could continue to grow.

All of this was thanks to the Longevity Skill at the level of mastery.

Xu Ping's gaze moved down to the realm and technique sections.

[Realm: Late-Stage Foundation Establishment: 51/100; Blood Demon Body Refining Second Layer: 99/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill - Mastery: 801/1600]

...

"Now that my realm and proficiency in the Longevity Skill have both surpassed half. According to the normal cultivation progress, in another decade or so, I should reach the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage.

"However, the cultivation progress of the Longevity Skill, in comparison, is still somewhat slower," Xu Ping thought to himself silently.

"But, if I can auction the Millennium Spiritual Liquid, the breakthrough time will certainly be greatly advanced," a flash of anticipation crossed Xu Ping's eyes.

The effect of the Millennium Spiritual Liquid was far stronger than the Hundred-Year Fruit. Moreover, besides increasing lifespan and Longevity Skill proficiency, it also had the effect of enhancing cultivation.

Although for high-level cultivators in the Golden Core Stage, the cultivation improvement from consuming the Millennium Spiritual Liquid wasn't significant, for someone like him still in the Foundation Establishment stage, its effects surpassed many spirit pills and wondrous medicines.

"It seems I must attend this auction organized by the Luoyun Sect," Xu Ping made up his mind.

Besides, he also planned to acquire some materials needed for the Purifying Spirit Nourishing Vein Array and Spirit Worms at the auction.

After years of continuous practice, his mastery of the Earth Master's Gaze had become increasingly refined, nearing the realm of mastery.

Now, the complex network of spirit veins buried beneath the Thousand Leaves Mountain had become clearer and more discernible to him.

As such, the Purifying Spirit Nourishing Vein Array and Spirit Worms naturally needed to be arranged as soon as possible.

The most crucial technique of introducing the spirit into the veins could finally be performed.

...

...

Time slipped away like sand through an hourglass, bit by bit.

Two months later, deep in the night.

The night sky was like an endless black silk mantle, softly and serenely spread across the vast heavens and earth, enveloping everything in a mysterious veil.

In the sky, a bright moon hung like a radiant pearl, shimmering high on the dark blue canopy.

The cold and gentle moonlight poured down unreservedly, penetrating through the branches, casting fragmented and mottled shadows on the ground.

At this moment.

On Thousand Leaves Mountain, everything was silent.

Xu Ping sat quietly on a large rock, his eyes gently closed.

Suddenly, a faint wave emanated from the distant horizon, like a gentle breeze quietly sweeping across a calm lake, instantly creating subtle ripples.

This seemingly insignificant wave contained an indescribable mystical power.

"It's here!"

Xu Ping opened his eyes abruptly, excitement and anticipation lighting up his gaze.

He quickly stood up, for the Spiritual Qi tide he had long awaited finally arrived.

"Open!"

Xu Ping's face remained calm, his hands moving rapidly to form seals, a low shout escaping his mouth.

In an instant, the mana within his dantian, like a surging flood, rapidly flowed along special meridians and rushed toward his forehead.

In a moment, a vertical eye slowly emerged on Xu Ping's forehead.

With the Earth Master's Gaze successfully activated, Xu Ping didn't dare show any carelessness and immediately prepared to perform the technique of introducing the spirit into the veins to enhance the quality of the spirit veins.

After all, the Spiritual Qi tide was an opportunity that lasted for an extremely short time. Once missed, he'd have to wait for the next chance.

"Introduce the spirit into the veins!"

When the Spiritual Qi tide's surge reached its peak state, Xu Ping's hands rapidly formed seals, complex and mysterious spells flying from his fingertips.

Simultaneously, incantations softly murmured from his mouth, mingling with mysterious power, resonating in the air.

Buzz!

At this moment, a gentle halo emanated from Xu Ping's entire body.

This halo seemed to possess a unique magic, like a magnet, establishing a subtle and close connection with the surging and raging Spiritual Qi in the heavens and earth.

The originally raging Spiritual Qi, as if pulled by an invisible hand, began changing directions, swiftly converging towards Xu Ping's location.

Those streams of Spiritual Qi transformed into brilliant beams of light, circling above Xu Ping rapidly, forming a massive and gorgeous Spiritual Qi vortex.

At the center of the vortex, Xu Ping's figure grew increasingly mysterious and unfathomable.

Despite the immense pressure he was bearing at the moment, Xu Ping's expression remained calm and composed, steady as a mountain.
