Up to that point, a month later, the rumor flew like crazy. Even Xu Meixiang, the Peak Ruler of the Violet Cauldron Peak, who was none other than the old girl mentioned by Big Fatty Zhang, knew what had happened. Bai Xiaochun and Big Fatty Zhang had no choice but to stop their activities. After discussing the matter together, they decided to save Third Girly Hei.
Therefore, both of them went to the Green Peak Peak.
Third Girly Hei was a little thinner, but inconspicuous. However, he was now emitting a somewhat seductive air, which made Bai Xiaochun and Big Fat Zhang almost speechless. They barely even recognize him. Her previously dark-skinned face even looked rather elegant. One could easily imagine how, if she continued to lose weight, she would eventually turn into a true beauty.
However, as soon as he heard about the Spirit Tail Chicken, here his eyes began to shine.
From then on, the Chicken Tail Spirit at Green Peak Peak started to disappear….
Now, the Devil Thief Chicken is really famous on the southern edge. It was almost impossible to find an Outer Sect disciple who had never heard of him, and even the servants knew his name.
Shortly after, the Elders noticed the matter. Although the Devil Thief Chicken finally vanished without a trace, never to appear again, Third Girly Hei and Big Fatty Zhang both seemed to regain a lot of weight. Although they were not as impressive as before, they were still stronger.
As for Bai Xiaochun, he had finally completed eighty-one cycles, finally satisfying his hunger. It was then that the three of them gave up on stealing the chicken.
Although the eighty-one cycles of the Eternal Life Technique were not done consecutively, but rather built over time, the results were completely the same.
On one day, Bai Xiaochun was sitting in his courtyard at Fragrant Cloud Peak, his expression solemn. His skin emitted an iron-colored pulse, and it even shone with a flickering black light. An incredible aura emanated from him, making him appear savage and wild.
He had endured eighty-one days of pain and then eighty-one days of hunger. The combination turned into a shocking force that erupted within Bai Xiaochun, repeatedly.
Each eruption was filled with boundless vital energy, which was then poured into Bai Xiaochun's skin, causing it to become increasingly iron-colored. The black light grew increasingly blinding, and the toughness of his skin increased exponentially.
Finally, it reached a point where if anyone happened to see him standing there, they would think they were looking at an iron statue, and not a human of blood and flesh.
His mind was shaken as the burst of energy continued on. After the 19th time, he realized that they were not slowing down at all, but were actually increasing in intensity.
Bai Xiaochun did not move in the slightest, and did not even appear to be breathing. However, if you looked closely, you would see that all the pores in his body were widened as he silently absorbed the Heaven and Earth energy in the area.
“After eighty-one eruptions, my Perennial Skin will reach the initial stage of completion, and I will be at the Iron Skin stage!” The Mnemonic Eternal Life Technique floated in Bai Xiaochun's mind, and a firm and determined expression could be seen on his face. All of his hard work over the past year, including enduring pain and hunger, is all done for now!
THE RUMBLING!
The vital energy within him exploded once more, and the iron color of his skin deepened. Every time the vital energy flowed into his skin flesh, it was as if it was being forged by the attacks of thousands of forging hammers.
At this moment, he was pulsing with energy, like a divine weapon in the forging process!
YOUMMMBLLE!
28 times.30 times.40 times.48 times… ..
Time pass. Three days later, Bai Xiaochun remained in the exact same place. Although no bystander could hear anything, to him, it sounded like endless thunder booming in his ears.
However, it was at this point that the vital energy within him erupted for the 49th time. Suddenly, his strength doubled, and a tremor ran through him. At the same time, small cracks began to appear on his skin, as if it could not last much longer.
Although the cracks were few, once they appeared, Bai Xiaochun's heart sank.
“So, signs of impending death finally appear...” Bai Xiaochun frowned. The introduction to the Undying Live Forever Technique mentioned these sorts of gaps. As long as the process reaches the initial stages of success, they are guaranteed to appear. How long each individual can last will depend on their will, and will ultimately determine the quality of the Eternal Skin in the future.
Even if you don't last long at all, you can still successfully cultivate the Eternal Skin. However, the quality will naturally be less than perfect.
If you can survive through all 81 eruptions of vital energy, then you can achieve a perfect flawless state.
Bai Xiaochun's eyes shone with determination for a moment before he closed them once more. Rumbling explosions continued to erupt within him.50 times.60 times.70 times…. Unexpectedly, a single breath took him through five full days, during which he lasted through 70 days.
The cracks that covered him were so numerous that his skin almost looked like a turtle. In many places, the cracks had fused together, making it resemble a broken flower vase that had been put back together.
“Only seven more times!” he thought, his eyes were completely red. Gasping for breath, he clenched his jaws, and the vile line in his personality surged into life.
74 times!
77 times!
79 times!
Bai Xiaochun lowered his head and roared, although it was not too loud, more like a muffled grunt. His body trembled as he had another eruption, reaching a total of 80.
Vital energy flowed into his skin which, although covered in cracks, was like iron; anyone who saw it would definitely be shocked.
“Last!” she said. As the last burst of vital energy surged, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and slammed it into the ground.
An explosion was heard, and a huge crater appeared. The last burst of vital energy erupted as everything reached a conclusion. An infinite amount of vital energy flowed into his skin, causing the cracks to immediately disappear, making him appear slender and smooth. The black light disappeared, and she looked as beautiful and pure as before. However, now his skin was much harder than ordinary skin, although no one knew that just by looking at it.
Bai Xiaochun stood there panting for a moment before looking at the crater he had just blown into the ground. Then he looked at her skin, and his expression became bright. Finally, he lowered his head and laughed out loud.
He waved his right hand, causing his wooden sword to fly, which then turned into a black beam that slashed at his arm. As soon as it hit, a metallic clang rang out, and the wooden sword suddenly flew backwards. As for his arm, it was almost like being bitten by a mosquito. When he checked his impact point, his skin was not injured at all.
“Lastful Skin!” she cried, unable to contain her joy. It should be stated that his wooden sword was not an ordinary magic item; it had received a twofold increase in spirit. Although it was made from ordinary materials, due to the increase in spirit, it could be considered a magical item worthy of Chosen. Even so, it didn't hurt him at all.
Bai Xiaochun suddenly blinked, shooting forward. A buzzing sound could be heard as he suddenly appeared over thirty meters away. He was now able to move many times faster than before, making him very happy.
As for the power he could unleash, just by looking at the crater on the ground revealed that it was also much larger than before. Furthermore, this was only the initial stage of the Eternal Skin's success. Although it could not be said that he had completely disposed of his mortal body, he was clearly very different from before.
“With a defensive power like this,” thought, Bai Xiaochun would be much safer in his path to live forever. ” Bai Xiaochun is very happy with himself. Furthermore, he checked his cultivation base and saw that he had also made a little progress in that aspect as well. He was now in the big circle of the fourth level of Qi Condensation.
Besides, it was no ordinary large circle. Because of how spiritual energy had been compressed within him, his quality far exceeded that of an ordinary cultivator at the same stage as him.
Feeling very satisfied, he drove a few rounds around the courtyard, then suddenly stopped, his eyes twinkling. Raising his right hand in front of him, he stretched out his thumb and index finger forming the letter U. Then he clamped it down, causing a black light to appear on them. Although nothing had happened, a cracking sound could be heard in the air in front of him.
With widened eyes, he turned around and dashed to a nearby rock, where he once again caused a black light to flash from his two fingers. As soon as he pinched his fingers, the sound of cracks could be heard as the stone exploded like a piece of tofu.
He blinked to move again, appearing beside the Spiritwinter Bamboo, which was now over nine meters tall. After identifying the hardest bamboo stem, he pinched his fingers. Explosions were heard as the bamboo was destroyed.
Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath and plopped down to the ground, where he looked at his two fingers, and a black light that slowly faded from them. After some time passed, he let out a long breath.
“So, that's the Throat Crushing Grip, huh..?” he mumbled slowly. It was one of the secret magic of the Eternal Life Technique, something that could only be unleashed after reaching the first stage of initial success. Supposedly, it could double one's strength, and could not be resisted.
Just now, Bai Xiaochun had only used about fifty percent of his full strength. He could not even imagine how powerful and terrifying the secret magic would be if he released his full power.
From what Bai Xiaochun knew, such secret magic should be used to kill people. After a moment of silent thought, he came to the conclusion that even though it was brutal, he still needed to practice it earnestly. Hence, he started pacing around in his courtyard, causing black light to flash and cracking sounds to reverberate.
Time pass. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. During that time, Bai Xiaochun never left his courtyard. He stayed there training all the time. Naturally, he had no way of knowing that after months of leaving, Li Qinghou had finally returned to the Spirit Stream Sect, and was currently flying in the air above a beam of green light, heading straight to the Peak of Fragrant Clouds.
After he landed, and even before he could rest, two beams of light shot out from the Green Peak Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak and headed towards him. Soon, he could see the figure of the old man in one of the beams of light. He looked like a sharp unsheathed sword, and exuded a unique pressure from a Foundation cultivator.
In another beam of light appeared a graceful woman. She looked like a natural beauty, extremely beautiful despite the strange expression on her face. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Together with the old man, he perched on the top of the mountain.
The two were the Peak Lords of Green Crest Peak and the Violet Cauldron Peak respectively. After arriving at Fragrant Cloud Peak, they had a private discussion with Li Qinghou, then left.
Li Qinghou stood on top of Fragrant Cloud Peak, wiping the trunk of his nose. Finally, he sent out a divine sense, focusing on the three Spirit Tailed Chicken farms in their various locations on the mountain. When she saw that the only thing left was the chick, she also looked like she did not know whether to laugh or cry. Sighing, he waved his sleeve and began to descend the mountain. From the direction he took…
It seemed like he was heading straight towards Bai Xiaochun's courtyard residence.
