637 The Dragon Gate (2/2)

The Yellow Golden Sea had an abundance of resources, though not all fishes were as precious as the Immortal Spirit Fish. Still, some other species also had other valuable uses.

Sitting in the room alone was Bei Feng, who was enjoying his food.

The aroma of steamed conchs filled the room. On the table was a large lobster with a bluish body, emitting cold water vapor and looking as fresh as it could.

Another plate was filled with shellfish that had shells as white as marble.

Another eye-catching item was an urchin which looked like a blue basketball with spikes on its exterior.

Bei Feng gently picked up a conch that looked fat and juicy. After dipping it in a plate of sauce, he then placed it in his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, the juice of the flesh burst in his mouth. Although it was common for seafood to taste fishy, it was not the case for the conch meat, which tasted light and fragrant.

That's right, one conch alone has the cultivation level of a Hundred Year realm fourth layer demonic beast.

Bei Feng's eyes lit up as he chewed on the conch meat. The fact that a conch the size of a fist was able to provide him with that much energy was indeed surprising.

Bei Feng then excitedly proceeded to try the other foods.

As the family chef was not travelling with them, Bei Feng could only get the guards to cook. Thus, it was natural for the food to taste not as good. However, due to the quality of the seafood, any method of cooking was sufficient to make the food taste good.

After completing his meal, Bei Feng nodded in satisfaction before leaving the messy table.

After his room had been cleaned, Bei Feng swayed his hand to reveal a pile of spirit stones.

”My foundation should have been strengthened enough after remaining in Thousand Year King realm Fourth Layer for some time. It's time to break through now,” Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he breathed in deeply, absorbing the Heaven Earth Ling Qi.

Without further hesitation, Bei Feng started to prepare for his breakthrough. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Gathering his mental power, Bei Feng could tell the type of energy stored by his spine.

The spine was the pillar of the human body, so it could be deemed the source of energy.

The stronger the spine, the better one could perform!

Adjusting his blood Qi, Bei Feng started to break through!

Like a ferocious tiger running downhill, his blood Qi managed to break past his fifth spinal joint!

As his joint broke, Bei Feng could not help but frown. The pain was not something ordinary people could imagine.

But, it was a normal process to a cultivator. The more power one wanted to gain, the higher the price one had to pay!

Fighting against someone, fighting against heaven's will, and fighting with yourself and getting hurt were all too common for a cultivator!

This was also why so few could live to the maximum of the lifespan one could live.

Just like how Hundred Year realm cultivators: they could live for 800 years, but still barely lived past 500-600 years.

It was due to the endless battles one had to encounter during the cultivation process.

One might not even notice their internal injuries sometimes. This was why some who looked strong physically could pass away suddenly.

Although cultivators usually understood their bodies better than ordinary people, there were limits to what they could do.

An example would be an injury which wiped out large amounts of cells. During repair, when old cells regenerated and produced new cells, life energy was used.

If it happened frequently, then one's longevity would naturally be affected… unless one could find a longevity pill that lengthened life.

Saint Pills were the lowest-grade pills of that kind. Such pills were equivalent in value to at least several cities.

The only thing was that this kind of life extending pill was only useful under the premise that it didn't increase the longevity beyond the realm's max limit.

For example, a peak Hundred Year realm cultivator had a maximum lifespan of 800 years.

If a cultivator at that level was dying at the age of 600, they could use a longevity pill to extend their life. Theoretically, there were still 200 years of their lifespan left, and the pill would extend that cultivator's life by that much.

On the other hand, if a peak Hundred Year realm cultivator who'd reached the age of 800 wanted to use the pill to extend his life, it would not have any effect. ED/N: Sounds like every world within the towers on this planet, to be exact.
