Chapter 5: After Revision - 4 You Embroider and I Sell Cakes, Fatal Crisis
Time flies, and another ten-odd days had passed.
This morning, after finishing his Cultivation, Lin Xuankong went into the kitchen. He filled two willow baskets with sorghum cakes, covered them with a white cloth Lii Xiaolan had washed clean, and after crouching slightly, he effortlessly lifted the nearly hundred-pound load onto his shoulders.
[Pine Crane Longevity Technique: Not at Entry Level 58/60]
[Transcendent Qi Blood: 118/100,000]
Over the past ten-odd days, his progress in the Pine Skill had steadily increased. He had long since cultivated the second strand of Transcendent Qi Blood, and his physical body was becoming stronger under its nourishment.
Three or four days ago, in the dead of night, he had tested his speed on the street. He could run a distance of one hundred steps in a little over three breaths, which was almost equivalent to covering one hundred meters in ten seconds. This kind of explosive power was already incredibly close to the hundred-meter world record of his previous life.
Due to his abundant Qi Blood, his endurance far surpassed that of ordinary people. Carrying a load of a hundred pounds, he shouted his wares along the way. Even after walking for more than two hours, he did not feel any fatigue!
What was most astonishing was that the one possessing such a physique was a fifty-nine-year-old man...
The profoundness of the Pine Crane Longevity Technique and the magic of being "Vigorous in Old Age" were fully displayed in him!
Of course, not all news was good.
In the past two days, he found that the growth of his strength had become extremely slow. It was obvious that his body had reached the limits of an ordinary human. The next step was to cultivate the third strand of Transcendent Qi Blood and break through the bottleneck to continue improving!
Additionally, in the past few days, during the evenings, he would occasionally experience inexplicable dazes, losing consciousness for several breaths. When sleeping, he would also occasionally feel an extreme tightness in his chest. This situation felt as if something was wrong with his body, and a major problem could occur at any time... According to his Life Plate, he only had three days of Lifespan left!
