Chapter 71: Chapter 66 Blade Qj_1

He felt a secret joy in his heart, suspecting that his cultivation level had broken through the first stratum of commoners.
He had read some warnings in books, advising that one should neither become excited and relax nor become arrogant right after breaking through to a new realm, because the new level of cultivation was still very unstable.
There was a high risk of falling back to the previous state or even suffering from cultivation deviation.
That would indeed turn joy into sorrow.
Just like when a Termite evolved into a Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant, its movements were slow.
Only after adapting slowly and waiting for a while could it move swiftly.
Qin Niu dared not relax, having long yearned to advance to the second stratum of commoners. Now that he had succeeded, he must ensure stability and consolidate this new realm.
As he continued his cultivation, the strengthening of his lungs proceeded as well.
He quickly discovered that the speed at which he absorbed the cool energy from the outside world had almost doubled.
The fortification of his lungs was also accelerating towards completion.
By the time rhe moon sank in the west and disappeared, his cultivation became somewhat consolidated and stable.
He felt his breathing unusually smooth, and his meridians became much more elongated.
His physical strength had increased significantly as well.
Lifting an object weighing over 200 pounds should not be a problem.
The lungs are the source of all veins; to his surprise, they were the first to be enhanced.
Eager, Qin Niu could not wait to check his cultivation level.
Qin Niu
Cultivation Level: Commoner Twofold 101.2/200, Low-Level Farmer 75.4/100, Low-Level Insect Master 4/100

I was so busy recently that I had less rime to practice the slash martial skill, so its proficiency increased somewhat slowly.
The cultivation level has finally advanced to Commoner Twofold as desired, and the Everlasting Spring Technique has reached the second layer.
No wonder the speed of cultivation has doubled.
What surprised him most was his lifespan, which had increased by a full ten years.
That was something he couldn’t have even dared dream of before.
Spiritual medicines or food ingredients that could extend one’s life by three months would cost at least a thousand taels of Silver Money on the market.
To extend life by ten years all at once, the allure of the Everlasting Spring Technique was truly irresistible.
This was just from ascending a minor realm; if he were to advance to Commoner Threefold, wouldn’t his lifespan increase by another ten years?
By that logic, when he cultivated to Commoner Tenfold, wouldn’t his life be extended by a hundred years?
Qin Niu pondered excitedly.
If the Everlasting Spring Technique could indeed achieve this effect, it would absolutely qualify as a top-tier Life-Nurturing Technique.
For commoners to extend their lives by a century is an extremely difficult task.
One only needs to look at the Yan Family to understand this.
Locally, the Yan Family owned a hundred acres of fertile land and hundreds of hills, with several hundred slaves and laborers. The cultivation resources they could obtain far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
Yet, nobody had heard of any of the Yan Family patriarchs living past a hundred years.
Qin Niu did not know how old the last two Yan Family patriarchs were.
But Yan Ruohai’s father, he knew about.
It was said he lived to be 89 years old, just one year shy of 90.
Even so, everyone praised the former Yan Family patriarch for his longevity.
Some people said it was because the Yan Family did good deeds and accumulated virtue, which was why rhe former patriarch lived so long.
Ordinary people mostly died in their forties or fifties.
Those who lived a bit longer barely reached their sixties.
To live to seventy was exceedingly rare, a rarity from ancient times.
