NOVEL NEXT Chapter 275: Soaring Snake Technique Breakthrough, 8,000-Year Lifespan
A few days later.
Jiang Fan quietly returned to Zhu Family Island.
He quickly received news that the former Zhu Family genius Zhu Han had successfully formed his core and returned.
However, he was quite unlucky, as he coincidentally encountered cultivators from the Divinity Transformation Zhao Family coming to conscript.
As a result, Zhu Han, who had just completed his core formation, was captured by the Zhao Family and is now fighting hard on the front line.
It's uncertain when he will be able to return.
"No way, Zhu Han actually succeeded in core formation and was forcibly conscripted?"
"Does this count as him taking the disaster on my behalf?"
"No, it doesn't count as taking it for me, but rather for the Zhu Family."
Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.
He didn't expect such a coincidental event to occur, but it's likely due to his destiny.
The Zhu Family received his protection and gained many benefits.
Naturally, they needed to do something for him in return.
If not for him, the Zhu Family would have been destroyed long ago, and Zhu Han might not have succeeded in core formation.
Thus, every sip and bite is predetermined, and cause and effect must have origins.
More importantly, if Zhu Han wasn't conscripted yet Jiang Fan left, it would mean the Zhu Family lost the protection of a Golden Core Zhenren, which would be a catastrophic disaster for them.
So Zhu Han succeeding in his core formation and returning is equivalent to alleviating a great calamity for the Zhu Family.
"If that's the case, it seems I can stay at Zhu Family Island for an extended period."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly, feeling quite satisfied.
Because, to the Zhao Family, the only Golden Core of the Zhu Family had been conscripted, there was no reason to conscript a second time.
As long as he hides among the cultivators on Zhu Family Island, the outside world won't know of his existence.
As long as the Zhu Family cultivators don't reveal anything externally, he can naturally cultivate on Zhu Family Island for a long time.
Additionally, he doesn't need to worry about being disturbed by other cultivators.
Of course, to be cautious, Jiang Fan also embedded Soul Restriction Talismans into several Zhu Family cultivators, effectively sealing the only loophole, preventing them from disclosing his whereabouts and existence.
With this, Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou can also come out of the Exquisite Tower.
After all, they couldn't always stay inside the tower for cultivation.
"Husband, are we back on Zhu Family Island?"
Su Weiwei looked at the familiar environment around her and felt a wave of relief.
After all, having her own safe haven is better than wandering outside.
Moreover, with the auxiliary support of a Tier Three Spirit Vein, cultivation efficiency will be higher.
"That's right, the calamity has passed, and we naturally return here to cultivate."
"For a short period, we should be able to stay here for cultivation."
"Hopefully, there won't be any more danger arising."
Jiang Fan nodded.
He couldn't be sure how long he could stay at Zhu Family Island.
In short, if there was no danger, he certainly wouldn't leave.
However, if some danger truly arose, he would undoubtedly be the first to escape.
"Okay."
"Let's go, Youyou, and find a place to live nearby."
Su Weiwei nodded and then spoke to Lu Youyou.
"Yes, sister."
Hearing this, Lu Youyou obediently responded, though she was curious about what this place was, she didn't ask much, believing she would come to know it with time.
...
Late at night, in a quiet chamber on Zhu Family Island.
Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a Tier Four Elixir, the Python Dragon Vajra Pill.
This was originally a pill of ordinary quality. However, after refinement in the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace, all impurities were thoroughly removed, evolving it into a perfect quality elixir.
Now, this elixir was golden, seemingly forged from gold with no impurities, completely whole.
Faintly, dragon-like patterns appeared on the pill's surface, as though a true dragon was coiled around it, exuding a divine aura.
"The cultivation of the Soaring Serpent Golden Core Chapter is simple, focused on the Bone Tempering Chapter."
"It requires inscribing the Soaring Serpent Rune onto each bone, causing the mortal bones to transform."
"Ultimately, even transforming into divine bones."
"Thus, the cultivation of the Golden Core Chapter is extremely challenging."
Jiang Fan contemplated the cultivation details of the Soaring Serpent Golden Core Chapter. To be honest, this chapter was so difficult to cultivate, not only because grasping the Soaring Serpent Rune is extremely difficult, but more importantly, due to the necessity to inscribe the rune onto the bones.
After all, inscribing a Soaring Serpent Rune involves tempering and breaking the bones to enable them to support the rune's growth.
Every instance of breaking requires a long time for the bones to return to their original state.
So, the process of inscribing the Soaring Serpent Rune is incredibly slow, as most of the time is spent waiting for the natural healing of the bones.
Of course, there are methods to enhance cultivation efficiency, such as consuming various Body Tempering Pills and Body Tempering Spirit Medicines.
If assisted by Spirit Medicine, it naturally accelerates the healing process, eliminating the need to wait for the bones to heal naturally.
This enhances cultivation efficiency by dozens of times at least.
Therefore, a Body Cultivator's demand for cultivation resources is exceptionally vast.
Without external assistance, even if Lifespan runs out, cultivation might barely progress.
Luckily, his fortune was good this time, gaining the Tier Four Body Tempering Elixir — Python Dragon Vajra Pill.
Though a Tier Four Elixir, under normal circumstances, a Tier Three Body Cultivator's physique couldn't withstand it, however, as a cultivator practicing the Soaring Snake Technique, he's not comparable to ordinary Body Cultivators.
