Ma Ran seemed unaware of the change in everyone's attitude, still maintaining a calm tone, speaking unhurriedly: "The specific numbers for increased lifespan depend on various factors such as individual constitution and willpower."

"Specific situations require specific analysis, and cannot be generalized."

"In general, those with longevity genes and a strong desire for immortality have their lifespan extended closer to fifty years, and the nature of their Inner Qi becomes more refined, better suited for increasing lifespan."

"For those without longevity genes and who do not particularly value lifespan, after reaching the Thirteenth Rank of Inner Qi, they might only extend their lifespan by about twenty years."

At this point, Ma Ran's eyes opened and closed, and a purple light shone brilliantly in them: "Many friends know that my [Limited Foreknowledge] comes at the cost of lifespan."

"So..."

"People like me who cherish lifespan fall under the first type."

"But..."

"Just like superpowers."

"Gain always comes with loss."

Ma Ran's tone was calm, spoke gently: "Cultivators who reach the Thirteenth Rank of Inner Qi, but only extend their lifespan by twenty years, find that their Inner Qi becomes more aggressive, more suitable for combat."

"Of course, whether fifty years or twenty years, these are extreme exceptions. The vast majority of people, after cultivating to the Thirteenth Rank of Inner Qi, will have a lifespan extension between these two numbers."

Cultivating Inner Qi to a profound realm can prolong life...

Is this scientific?

Of course it's scientific!

On Earth, many countries have already proven through countless studies that Inner Qi can indeed influence genetic expression, making the body healthier and stronger.

This is consistent with objective laws.

After all, human genes contain a lot of redundant information.

Changes in the external environment and internal conditions can affect the expression of genetic information.

However, what Ma Ran said is not scientific.

Twenty years, fifty years.

How did he come up with these two numbers?

Some people have already begun to suspect that Ma Ran's superpower might not be [Limited Foreknowledge] but [Ultimate Brain Power].

Gathering information and intelligence subconsciously, even without actively thinking, he can make lightning-fast predictions related to the future, showcasing a similar ability to "prophecy"...

Logically...

No fault!

Moreover, if Ma Ran's superpower is [Ultimate Brain Power], his talent and innovation in Inner Qi Martial Arts can also be explained!

Initially, upon hearing about the characteristics of the Thirteenth Rank of Inner Qi, the people present were not willing to believe it.

Yet the ubiquitous smoke clouds permeating the venue, as long as inhaled slightly, made one feel refreshed, entirely comfortable, with every cell shouting with pleasure.

Hidden wounds, impurities, toxins...

Many undesirable things were dissolved by these smoke clouds.

The body's sensation won't deceive itself.

Even if just a small part of Inner Qi was released, achieving such effects, if all concentrated and permanently residing within a person's body...

They were somewhat shaken.

Ma Ran observed the expressions of the people, pondered for a moment, and suddenly waved his hand, revoking the Youwen Text Illusion previously set up.

As a Master of the Youwen Text, manipulating the six senses to create an illusion was a simple task for him.

If Ma Ran wished, not only could he make the audience feel "lifespan is increasing," he could even make them feel "I have the invincible physique of a divine being," and that wouldn't be difficult at all.

Once the Youwen Text Illusion was revoked, the white smoke clouds within the room dissipated without a trace.

Those immersed in the ecstasy of "constantly increasing lifespan" suddenly regained their senses, experiencing a strong sense of loss.

The contrast was so strong it caused extreme discomfort.

Otarovsky seized the moment to assist: "Prophet, is the cultivation method for the Thirteenth Rank of Inner Qi only circulated in small circles within China?"

Straightforwardly, he voiced the thoughts of many.

"Of course not."

Ma Ran responded with a smile: "A castle in the air without a solid foundation is just a mirage. Perhaps some people in the world can, with some bizarre superpowers, skip the cultivation of the Eleventh and Twelfth Ranks and directly jump from the Tenth Rank to the Thirteenth Rank, but doing so only leads to unstable foundations, and overdraws potential without any common value."

"It's not just the Thirteenth Rank of Inner Qi."

"Including the cultivation methods for the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Ranks..."

"For any Chinese citizen without a criminal record and willing to contribute to guarding Earth Civilization, I am willing to share them."

Otarovsky was dumbfounded, instinctively saying: "Aren't you worried about being surpassed by giving all these cultivation methods you created to the country for free?"

The first impression Ma Ran left him was that of a very amiable youth.

But now, Otarovsky had to acknowledge that Ma Ran's magnanimity and ambition were rarely seen throughout history and the world!

If he were in that situation, created cultivation secret techniques through countless hardships, never knowing how many brain cells he killed, how much sweat he shed, how much heart's blood he exhausted, he would never selflessly share it...

Without a lifetime of inexhaustible wine to trade, it would be impossible!

But Ma Ran is different.

He only gives, doesn't seek, doesn't ask for returns.

This determination, such magnanimity, this breadth of mind, such belief...

Otarovsky's gaze fell on Ma Ran's calm face, suddenly feeling a bit ashamed.

In Otarovsky's view, Ma Ran's spiritual temperament is too strong, if his superpower has any combat power, he would not be inferior to any S-level Ability User at all!

"Why worry about that?"

Ma Ran replied calmly: "Without pressure, there would be a lack of motivation."

There was no need to say more.

Although they had just met, Otarovsky felt he already understood the other's underlying words.

Ma Ran never feared the emergence of geniuses.

What he feared were those so-called "geniuses" whose talent and intelligence weren't high enough, that even if they followed the path he pioneered, running behind him, they couldn't keep up.

"Impressive! Impressive! I yield!"

Otarovsky praised: "Before coming, everyone said that Sword Master Lin Qiubai is the most prideful, most aloof man."

"Now it seems your level of pride is no less than that of the Sword Master!"

Ma Ran curved his lips, counted as smiling.

With a light step on the ground, his figure flickered.

Swish!

In the next moment, Ma Ran returned to his seat.

Su Qiangwei looked at him, said nothing, just holding a bag of pickled sour plums, tossing one into her mouth one after another, as if using Ma Ran's face as a side dish.

"..."

Although it felt a bit strange, Ma Ran was accustomed to it and didn't mind the girl's quirky reaction.

Because at this moment, the [Play] ability began to provide feedback!

Within the acupoints, the gaseous high-density biopower, in the blink of an eye, turned liquid.

The Innate Qi, already extremely powerful, suddenly doubled in quality!

Physical strength, endurance, recovery power, lifespan...

Fully increased!

Thirteenth Rank of Inner Qi...

Accomplished!
