Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 528 - 35: Spirit and Blood Unity_4

He didn’t allow himself to become too distracted, instead continuing with the integration, wanting to settle things once and for all.

But at this moment, a new progress bar appeared.

"Spirit and Blood Unity: 5%"

This was a pure progress indicator, not any kind of skill, similar to when Planting Skill was used to cultivate medicinal herbs and a progress indicator would appear on the herbs.

Once this progress bar reached one hundred percent, it would mean the Spirit and Blood Unity was complete, and he would no longer have to endure the problem of the boundary line.

Of course, the most important thing was that the appearance of the progress bar indicated that he was on the correct path, that there would be no errors, nor would any arise in the process.

"Whew~"

With this progress bar, Wang Sheng let out a huge sigh of relief.

Now it was truly set in stone.

Of course, even so, he didn’t allow himself to become complacent.

However, when the progress increased to ten percent, he had to stop.

"Have I reached some limit? Is the harmony insufficient?"

The appearance of the progress bar meant he was on the right track, but encountering a problem now indicated that there certainly was a solution.

"Harmony is insufficient... What method can I use to enhance harmony?"

Wang Sheng thought that the issue must lie with himself.

Finally, after almost a month’s time, he identified the problem.

"Raising cultivation level can strengthen both the Physical Constitution Seed and Spirit Light simultaneously, allowing mutual influence and permeation, increasing harmony."

In the end, after giving it a try and spending time to raise his Cultivation to a certain point, indeed, the Spirit Light and Physical Constitution Seed began to integrate once more, and the "Spirit and Blood Unity" progress resumed its increase.

Gaining this answer, Wang Sheng felt a huge relief in his heart.

"Increasing cultivation to solve the issue isn’t a problem at all!"

Raising his cultivation had always been his goal; he didn’t need any urging.

With the dual benefits now, he was naturally very pleased.

With this in mind, Wang Sheng finally allowed himself to fully relax.

"As far as issues with my own cultivation are concerned, one could say they have been completely resolved; next would be the problem of external threats!"

If he could stay, he wouldn’t want to roam the stars.

Space was too lonely.

Therefore, as long as he could withstand it, he would find a way to fend off the world where the Kui Tian Monarch resided.

And to achieve this, the only method was to raise his Cultivation.

All problems were not problems.

"Next, I will use the Blood Creation Pill and the Spirit World to raise my Cultivation level. However, before that, I might as well take a few days off."

He would always take a few days of rest after every prolonged session of seclusion that led to a breakthrough; it had become routine.

Of course, this time coming out of seclusion, he actually wanted to experience the Energy Car.

Such intriguing innovations, how could he not try them out!

However, once he went out, he discovered that the Energy Car was no longer in its original version.

It had already undergone two generations of upgrades.

Now, not only was it more convenient to replace the energy source, but the top speed had increased significantly, and a flying model had even been introduced.

But the flying model consumed a lot of energy and only a small number of affluent forces could afford to use it.

Of course, even though Qingshan Village wasn’t very famous, if one were to speak of it, it was regarded as the top force in the world, naturally not lacking such items.

Eventually, Wang Sheng found Li Yongfeng.

"Yun Sheng, you’ve come out of seclusion?" Li Yongfeng was surprised; Wang Sheng didn’t leave seclusion often.

"Mm, I’ve made a breakthrough, have a few days to spare."

"That’s just like you, it’s good though. I can get your residence retrofitted. Let me tell you, the past two years have witnessed countless new inventions from Datong Science Academy, like energy lamps, Energy Cars, and so on. If installed in your residence, they will definitely improve your quality of life..."

"Really? Didn’t energy lamps previously require market replacement of Energy Stones, weren’t there significant restrictions?" He had learned about energy lamps during his last time out of seclusion.

"That’s old news now. Half a year ago, Science Academy developed an energy conversion device. As long as wiring is laid out, it can allow the energy from Energy Stones to flow into millions of homes. You won’t need to replace Energy Stones at home anymore..." Li Yongfeng went on and on.

Wang Sheng listened attentively, asking and exchanging information, with a very pleasant mood.

One can only say that any creature with emotions is essentially accustomed to living in groups; this is true even with cultivation.

The two chatted, and Wang Sheng thought of the couple, "Uncle Li, how are Aunt Li doing?"

Li Yongfeng was silent for a moment before saying, "They haven’t broken through to Grandmaster. Although there’s an abundant supply of resources, if they don’t make a breakthrough, they might not have many years left..."

When Wang Sheng had not yet become a Martial Artist, Li Yongfeng’s parents were already in their forties.

Now it’s the 27th year of the new calendar, almost seventy years have passed, and the two elders are over a hundred years old. Without being Grandmasters, this lifespan is almost at its limit.

"I can help them become Great Grandmasters. Although their strength won’t be very strong, their lifespan isn’t false."

He wasn’t able to help others improve in the past, but now things are different.

Since the Destiny Dynasty was annihilated, everything returned to normal, including lifespan.

For instance, Great Grandmasters originally only had three hundred years of life, but now it’s basically around four hundred and more.

That is to say, as long as they become Great Grandmasters, the two of them will have at least another three hundred years of life, and perhaps even more if Wang Sheng’s cultivation level increases again.

It’s a bit troublesome, but he would definitely be willing to help his Uncle and Aunt Li, without saying anything for the others.

But—

"Actually, the elders themselves are unwilling; they feel their lives are already fulfilled. The only true regret, in fact, is you; you have yet to take a wife..."

"..." Wang Sheng was momentarily speechless. The elders raised him like a child and it was not surprising they had such thoughts, but he had no such plans, "The enemy is ahead; I’m not considering these matters."

Qingshan Village also knew of the enemy’s existence and had been accumulating strength over the years.

Li Yongfeng shook his head; he knew persuasion was useless and just mentioned it in passing.

However, he was also quite helpless about his parents’ unwillingness to increase their cultivation level.

"Actually, there’s a way in the village to elevate them to Grandmaster, but they are unwilling... It’s not just them, many of the village elders feel the same; they don’t have the desire to enhance their strength..."

Elders are not like young people, having great ambitions or the drive to desperately increase their strength.

So seeing Qingshan Village get to this point, he was already very content and had no regrets.

There was nothing the younger generation could do if the elders were unwilling.

"If they have no attachments, then give them something to be attached to. Has Li Longqing, that lad, gotten married yet?"

Li Longqing, Li Yongfeng’s only son.

"Not yet, and it’s giving me such a headache..."

Li Yongfeng grew even more worried when the topic came up, and his gaze towards Wang Sheng was somewhat resentful.

Wang Sheng felt it odd but quickly understood why.

Born in Qingshan Village, Li Longqing had access to top-level cultivation resources and was naturally talented. Adding to that his admiration for Wang Sheng, he had been cultivating all along. Now he too was a Great Grandmaster in Body Cultivation and could live a hundred years even without advancing his cultivation further.

Hence, he was in no rush at all, and whenever Li Yongfeng brought up Li Longqing, he would use Wang Sheng, his Uncle Wang, as an excuse.

"Ha ha ha, that kid is quite funny... But if you want to keep the elders around, you could have Li Longqing marry. Then tell the elders, don’t they want to see their great-grandson born? All they have to do is nod..."

Li Yongfeng instantly understood.

"Wouldn’t that be a bit selfish?"

"I don’t believe you haven’t pressured that lad Li Longqing. As for the elders, you’re just mentioning it, not forcing them."

Li Yongfeng suddenly saw the light; while he had felt somewhat guilty about his son, remembering how in recent years the boy had become more and more like a "rebellious son" thanks to his increased cultivation, his sympathy vanished on the spot.

Moreover, he had heard that the lad had started getting ideas after seeing his brothers getting married.

"Alright, let’s do as you say!"

Li Yongfeng agreed; deep down he really wanted to keep his parents around.

Not only that, but he also shared this method with others.

And so, a marriage craze unexpectedly swept through Qingshan Village.

Wang Sheng, the instigator of it all, naturally didn’t expect it to turn out this way. After coming up with the plan, both he and Li Yongfeng were in high spirits.

They went straight out to "race the car."

It was an excellent experience, with a strong sensation of thrust...

After stealing a half-day of idle time, he once again delved into his cultivation, beginning to transform his Spirit World.

After years of testing, the "Video Transmission" system was fully tested and was about due for a new section to open up, truly allowing ordinary people to participate.

"First, let’s create a communication platform where anyone can speak. Each message requires the use of spiritual power... It’ll be fun if they start arguing..."

(The updates from the past few days were a bit late, not quite ten thousand words, but it’s still a long chapter.)
