Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar Chapter 112 - 111: Gaining Tranquility for Three Thousand Ye

Without giving it much thought, the Demon Beast Hong Yuan headed towards the jar of Spirit Monkey Wine.

Having obtained the resource, it was natural to absorb it thoroughly and convert it into foundational strength, rather than wandering around aimlessly.

"GURGLE, GURGLE~"

Hong Yuan drank the Spirit Monkey Wine in big gulps, as the proficiency panel continually updated.

[Life Span 15]

[Aptitude 1]

[...]

Hong Yuan’s Life Span and Aptitude kept growing impressively.

In the past, it took Hong Yuan an hour to digest the Spirit Monkey Wine. However, after reaching the third-order interdiate realm, he could thoroughly annihilate the wine and its dregs in less ti than it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Exhilarating, it’s truly exhilarating."

Hong Yuan wiped his mouth clean of wine, then turned his attention to the proficiency panel.

[Na: Hong Yuan]

[Life Span: 17/1782]

[Aptitude: 57]

His Life Span was getting longer and longer, reaching over seventeen hundred years—that was astonishing!

"Heh heh," Hong Yuan stroked his chin, then turned to look at the Cold Spring Spirit and Magma Spirit, those directly consumable heavenly and earthly treasures.

If I absorb all of them, my Life Span will undoubtedly break through two thousand years, but I don’t know if it can break through three thousand. If it does, I’m afraid I could live longer than the Black Dragon Demon Saint without doing anything... Hong Yuan mused to himself.

His Longevity Martial Arts had taken initial shape!

「...」

Vine Fruit Mountain is the holy land for Monkey Demon Cultivators in the Zero Desolate Sea Area, because an Arm-length Monkey Demon Saint once appeared here.

Three thousand years ago, the Arm-length Monkey tribe was considered the holy race of the Zero Desolate Sea Area, and Vine Fruit Mountain was regarded as a holy land akin to Black Dragon Palace.

But even Demon Saints with heaven-reaching great power would fall rcilessly before the long knife of ti.

In the end, the Zero Desolate Sea Area fell into the hands of the Black Dragon Demon Saint.

The Vine Fruit Mountain Great Hall, resembling the temples and courts of the human world, was solemn and grand. Monkey Cultivators were divided on either side, with the fifth-order great demon Yuan Tongtian sitting in the main seat.

At this mont, Yuan Tongtian was staring coldly at Yuan Xiaohai and Yuan Juedi.

He hadn’t expected his own brother to be so reckless. Centuries of cultivation, yet he was still so impatient, failing even to conquer the hurdle of a restless mind!

"Hou Yu, recount the specifics of what happened once more," Yuan Tongtian said in a grave voice.

A thin Monkey Cultivator stepped out from behind Yuan Juedi, bowing respectfully.

"My king, as your humble servant witnessed, the cause of the incident..."

Their actions were highly systematic and orderly, unlike ordinary Demon Cultivators, and more akin to a human dynasty. If Hong Yuan were to see this, he would surely be shocked and beco wary of the monkey and ape cultivators of Vine Fruit Mountain, for the lineage of a Demon Saint was truly extraordinary.

I see... Yuan Tongtian’s eyelids drooped as he fell into contemplation.

Soon, Yuan Tongtian had a decision in his heart. He waved his hand grandly and issued a command:

"Effective imdiately, Yuan Juedi is to be escorted to Refining Fire Mountain, confined for a hundred years.

Hou Yu, Yuan Dong, count out ten Vine Saint Grains and five Demon Gold Beads."

Yuan Tongtian’s command left the Monkey Cultivators in the Great Hall wide-eyed and in shock.

Refining Fire Mountain was rife with poisonous miasma and spontaneous magma eruptions.

Yuan Juedi was renowned in Vine Fruit Mountain as a cultivation prodigy. He was on track to reach the fifth-order Demon realm and beco a pillar of the community in three hundred years. Being confined to Refining Fire Mountain for a century was akin to wasting years of his cultivation.

And Vine Saint Grain and Demon Gold Beads were even more remarkable, being universal cultivation resources in the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land, known to double the effectiveness of breaking through barriers.

Ever since the Demon Saint Ancestor passed away, these items had been dwindling—one used ant one less. The demons of Vine Fruit Mountain had always been reluctant to use them, saving them for when a fifth-order tribe mber made a breakthrough to Demon Saint status.

Several old Monkey Cultivators imdiately rushed to the front of the Great Hall and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly as they pleaded with Yuan Tongtian to reconsider his decision. "My lord, please reconsider!" they pleaded. "Yuan Juedi being crippled is one thing, but the Vine Saint Grain and Demon Gold Beads are vital to the clan’s foundation! They are far too important!"

"My mind is made up; there’s no need for further words."

With a wave of his sleeve, Yuan Tongtian conjured a gust of wind, and the old Monkey Cultivators were sent back to their original places.

That Xuan Guangqiao is no good sort. If I don’t offer such a price, how can I quell this matter? Sigh, it’s all because I oversimplified things, Yuan Tongtian sighed inwardly and turned to leave the scene.

The rest of the monkey and ape cultivators gathered around Yuan Juedi, berating him for his dissolute behavior.

Yuan Juedi’s face alternated between pale and flushed, his fists clenched tightly in indignation.

「...」

[Na: Hong Yuan]

[Life Span: 17/3005]

[Aptitude: 60]

Having spent an entire night, the Demon Beast Hong Yuan had almost absorbed all of these directly consumable heavenly and earthly treasures.

Hong Yuan looked at his proficiency panel, feeling extrely delighted.

Heh heh heh, I’ve actually reached this stage, the feeling is just too aweso!

After a round of self-satisfied chuckles, Hong Yuan took out one of the small Tao Enlightennt Stones and began to refine it, preparing to create the long-awaited escape technique.

Mastering an escape technique earlier would give Hong Yuan greater peace of mind.

"BUZZ, BUZZ~"

Hong Yuan’s hands flowed with a frosty white Demon Essence, connecting to the small Tao Enlightennt Stone.

Influenced by this pull, the small Tao Enlightennt Stone began to emit a hazy grey light, illuminating Hong Yuan’s body.

At that mont, Hong Yuan suddenly felt the sense that "I am so clever" returning to him.

The Cloud Ladder Cicada is a second-tier Cultivation Worm, leaning towards the Cloud Tao, endowed with explosive forward burst capabilities...

The Flying Sparrow Worm is a second-tier Cultivation Worm, leaning towards the Wind Tao, equipped with evasion and floating flight capabilities...

The Misty Mantis is a second-tier Cultivation Worm, leaning towards the Fire Tao, in possession of chase and escape capabilities...

Tides of thought rose in Hong Yuan’s mind. Flashes of wisdom twinkled non-stop as he steadily progressed, continuously exploring the escape technique.

「Five days later.」

At the cost of digesting five small Tao Enlightennt Stones and one dium-sized Tao Enlightennt Stone, Hong Yuan initially put together an escape technique nad ’Flying Oriole’.

This was a technique centered on the Flying Sparrow Worm, supported by the Cloud Ladder Cicada and the Misty Mantis as auxiliary components.

It enabled Hong Yuan to sprout Essence Qi wings on his back and soar through the heavens.

Of course, since it was just an initial formation, there were still flaws.

Once ’Flying Oriole’ was used, Hong Yuan would shoot straight into the sky. Specific evasive maneuvers were still not refined, and his movents were mostly direct and unpolished.

Fortunately, Hong Yuan also had a direction for further refinent, which was to add a few more Worms for balancing.

These Worms included a Wood Tao Body Refinent Cultivation Worm, a Thunder Tao Offensive Cultivation Worm, and several first-tier general movent technique Cultivation Worms...

The Wood Tao Body Refinent Cultivation Worm is exactly what I have in the ’Qinglu Mountain Moving Skill’; for the other missing techniques, I just need to purchase them in the Dongyu District, Hong Yuan pondered. Everything was moving in a favorable direction.

「One day later.」

Hong Yuan spent over thirty thousand Energy Stones to purchase all the required first-tier Cultivation Techniques, except for one Thunder Tao Offensive Cultivation Technique.

Thunder Tao Offensive Cultivation Techniques were very scarce, extrely scarce.

Should I go out to find it? Hong Yuan pondered.

But soon Hong Yuan shook his head, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

I am a disciple of the Phoenix Creek Sect, the direct junior brother of General Pengcheng, the Dongyu District Official.

Under such circumstances, Hong Yuan called upon his own influence.

"To those who present with a third-tier Thunder Tao Offensive Cultivation Technique, I, Hong Yuan, will reward handsoly!"

Following Hong Yuan’s command, the region around Pengcheng was engulfed in a storm, with countless people bustling to do his bidding...
