I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Because typically, if a dual-attribute cultivator is discovered to be a talented cultivator, they are quickly brought into a sect to receive systematic and professional guidance.

Not only in terms of cultivation realm do they far surpass cultivators of the same age, but their strength, foundation, and attack methods are also significantly stronger.

Take Bai Yufeng, the super genius of the Bai Family, for example. He is merely a dual-attribute spirit root cultivator with metal and wood attributes. He is only fifty-six years old now, but he succeeded in Foundation Establishment twenty years ago.

Which means that when he achieved Foundation Establishment, he was only thirty-six.

"Unfortunately, I’ve already cultivated the Five Elements Technique to the realm of perfection.

It’s no longer easy to further enhance my cultivation efficiency.

Unless I switch cultivation techniques, or truly enhance my spirit root talent..."

Zhou Changwang felt both pleased and a bit helpless.

Low talent means a lower ceiling.

Although it’s not necessarily true that the higher the talent, the greater the achievement in the future, the effort he needs to put in is far greater than those so-called genius cultivators.

Even though he has the attribute panel, now that he has cultivated the Five Elements Technique to perfection, the corresponding cultivation efficiency has reached a limit.

Only through other methods could he increase his cultivation speed.

Change cultivation techniques?

Unless the quality of the technique is extremely high and very suitable for his cultivation.

Otherwise, retraining a cultivation technique from entry level to the realm of perfection would require significant time and effort and could very well be a waste of time.

The reason Qian Xiaoyue is willing to change cultivation techniques is that she has guidance from a disciple of the Shuiyun Immortal Sect, and the cultivation technique chosen for her indeed suits her physique. The basic cultivation techniques of the Shuiyun Immortal Sect are also very strong, helping her smoothly break through and advance to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer in a short time.

As for him, he doesn’t have such an opportunity.

The Five Elements Techniques suitable for his cultivation found in the shop might at most be slightly better than the Five Elements Technique he is currently practicing.

As for enhancing his spirit root talent...

It requires Earth Treasures of heaven and earth.

If such treasures existed, they wouldn’t be his to use.

Then, he glanced at his attribute panel.

Name: Zhou Changwang

Lifespan: 18/95

Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer (1/100)

Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Technique Perfection

Celestial Essence Eight Techniques (Mastery 197/200)

Magic: Geng Metal Finger Perfection, Fireball Technique Perfection, Protective Body Technique Perfection, Thousand Thunder Flashes (Mastery 184/200), Spirit Eye Technique (Entry Level 78/100)

...

Talisman: Talisman Making (Entry Level 37/100)

...

"Five Elements Technique perfection.

Cultivation has indeed increased, truly breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Stage.

And most importantly, lifespan has also increased.

Originally, it was only seventy-eight. Although considered long-lived in this world, compared to the past world, where people generally lived past eighty, even reaching ninety, it could be considered short-lived.

More so considering this is the Cultivation World.

Now with the realm advancement, it has indeed boosted my lifespan as well, so it can be considered normal.

A lifespan of ninety-five... though it’s not a hundred, my cultivation is still increasing. When I break through again, my lifespan will certainly enhance further."

Zhou Changwang glanced at the attribute panel, feeling a wave of satisfaction in his heart.

The cultivation technique is perfected, the realm has advanced, and now even the lifespan is increasing.

Everything is progressing positively.

...

"What on earth is going on here?"

In a large manor, a middle-aged cultivator with a sinister face and a hooked, narrow nose stood in front of a giant hive with an unpleasant expression.

The hive was enormous.

It was as if a massive wind-fire wheel.

Usually, there were hundreds of Black Needle Poison Bees hovering within, gathering together to form a menacing black mass.

When he occasionally went out, summoning them often produced unexpected results, serving as one of his reliable assistants.

Yet presently, on the hive, several dozen larvae were gathered in threes and twos, with some clearly freshly-emerged and still tender.

The previous frightening sight of hundreds of bees swarming was nowhere to be seen.

What about the other larvae?

If he remembered correctly, there were even a few larvae that had reached the breakthrough realm through his nurturing, and they had disappeared as well?

Only one queen bee and two mature bee guards stayed tightly together, seemingly on alert for something.

"I really want to see, what dared to kill my larvae."

The middle-aged cultivator had a sullen face, hurriedly forming spells with his hands, instantly connecting his heart spirit with the queen bee.

This is also one of the characteristics of the Insect Technique he cultivated, allowing him to share memories with the spirit insect he controlled in a short time.

However, there are notable side effects, as one would be somewhat influenced by the spirit insect’s personality.

The personalities of spirit insects are mostly fierce, irritable, and bloodthirsty... If insect cultivators constantly resonate with such spirit insects, they would involuntarily be affected, often becoming cruel, bloodthirsty, fierce, and irritable.

This is why many insect cultivators are kept at a respectful distance by others.

Truly, it’s too dangerous.

Moreover, dying from countless poisonous insects biting and devouring one is a terrifying fate.

It took a while before he opened his eyes again.

A fleeting violent look flashed through his pupils, then he regained composure.

"Interesting, has encountered another bee colony?"

He smiled slightly and waved his hand.

The gigantic hive was collected by him, then he flicked his finger, shooting out a Black Needle Poison Bee.

This Black Needle Poison Bee was about the same size as ordinary ones, but its tail was half gone, making it appear somewhat unique.
