Taoist Friend Chen, how do you have two disciples?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye’s heart was alarmed, and he laughed, \"Uh... I haven’t had the chance to introduce them to you. The black-haired one is my eldest disciple, Lu Zhiwei. The white-haired one is my youngest disciple, Xu Qingjun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he casually stepped forward to greet his disciples, blocking Ping Zhuo’s view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sucked in a cold breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, Taoist Friend Chen, your fortune truly is... enviable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo muttered under his breath, his voice not loud but laced with a kind of indescribable sourness and envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was alone, spending every day with furnaces, hammers, and cold, hard metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to a cold, lonely house, without even a person to talk to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While this Taoist Friend Chen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo was insanely jealous; he too wanted to come home to soft, fragrant disciples waiting for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo couldn’t stay any longer. He waved his hand casually at Chen Ye, \"Taoist Friend Chen, I’m heading back first. We’ll chat another day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he shouldered his Red Hammer and walked toward his courtyard without looking back, his figure stretching long in the sunset, exuding a sense of desolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Cultivation Realm, in the end, is still too cold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eldest disciple quickly glanced at Chen Ye through the scattered bangs on her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that Chen Ye’s face showed vigilance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhiwei couldn’t quite understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Chen Ye not want others to come into contact with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was that big guy not a good person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the black-furred ball was pondering, she suddenly felt her body lighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the man picked up each ball in one arm: \"Good disciples, don’t wait for your teacher at the gate in the future. It’s too dangerous outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two balls puffed their cheeks in unison, sulking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master (Chen Ye), why does he hug them as soon as he comes back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had known, they wouldn’t have waited for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They inadvertently ignored the fact that they had thought the same thing the last time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially this neighbor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye reiterated with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Jun tilted her small face, asking softly, \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye indeed was mischievous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deliberately scared Qing Jun: \"Because... he likes to eat children! Otherwise, how could he grow so tall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two balls were shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!!!\" Qing Jun shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!??\" Zhiwei pursed her small mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the little girl couldn’t help but cling to Chen Ye’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone actually likes to eat little girls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more terrifying than the previous neighbor, Taoist Zhang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A certain mysterious golden-furred ball looked at the trio from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was clad in moon-white fox fur, her golden hair cascading like a waterfall, making her skin look fairer than snow, and her appearance as exquisite as a fairy in a painting, proud and distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, her eyes lingered on the side profile of the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, there was a familiar feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appearance alone wouldn’t cause her heart to ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, who knows how many people resemble each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to cultivate Geng Metal Qi to such an artistic level as her father, was indeed a rarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially upon seeing Chen Ye tease his disciples, she couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The proud and noble girl suddenly faded away, replaced by a shorter golden-furred ball with long hair down to her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of big amber eyes, round and innocent, looked at the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-furred ball hesitated to hop forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after just a few steps, she abruptly stopped, as if suddenly awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mumbled lowly, with a hint of frustration, almost swallowed by the wind and snow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must be stuffed full...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a flower that happens to resemble another... Once we part today, perhaps there will never be another chance to meet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this Inner Sect trial, she would return to the Lingyin Sect to cultivate in seclusion, not easily venturing outside again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her cultivation bears fruit, this man and his disciples would likely have perished in the battles of cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting by chance, destined eventually to part ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, her fingertips moved slightly, revealing a small, exquisite flying sword beneath her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying her, it transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the vast snowstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another Foundation Establishment Cultivator has left? Looks like this Inner Sect trial is really coming to an end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation room, Chen Ye heard the sound of a flying sword cutting through the sky, filled with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these past few days, the once rare Foundation Establishment cultivators were appearing with increased frequency, flying through the sky with their swords now and then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between sect disciples and loose cultivators is like a chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yunxi District, Luo Heng is considered a top-notch loose cultivator, but despite his age, he remains struggling at Qi Cultivation Perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye calmed his mind, sitting cross-legged on a mat, with the slightly shabby book of \"Qi Concealment Technique\" spread open before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The proficiency panel would allow his cultivation to advance rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, in less than a month, he broke through the Fifth-Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he had long been at the Fourth-Layer of Qi Cultivation, he did not attract attention at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his current progress and resources, in another two to three months, he might break through to the Sixth-Layer of Qi Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, it would certainly draw a lot of attention to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Qi Concealment Technique, although unremarkable, is precisely the protective charm he needs now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye closed his eyes, guiding his internal spiritual power according to the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qi Concealment Technique, unlike the sharp external release of the Geng Metal Technique, emphasizes internal collection, concealment, and harmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It requires gathering the scattered aura around the body, smoothing out the fluctuations of spiritual power like calm deep water, revealing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his newly Fifth-Layer spiritual power was at its most lively and vigorous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a rushing river, trying to constrain and conceal it was no easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the first attempt, the circulation of spiritual power felt sluggish, and the aura around him fluctuated, hard to stabilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation was like trying to cover a blazing bonfire with a thin veil, focusing on one thing to the detriment of another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Different magic techniques have certain similarities in the control of spiritual power... especially low-tier spells like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye calmed his mind, recalling the subtle and profound control he had when performing the Perfection-level Three Spirit Plant Skills and the Limit Break Geng Metal Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patiently guiding the spiritual power, compressing it repeatedly, sorting it out, making it flow more smoothly and covertly through his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the fluctuations of spiritual power around him began to weaken, becoming indistinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was far from achieving perfect concealment, compared to the initial lack of cover, there was significant progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Qi Concealment Technique Minor Achievement: 1\u002F100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a direct Minor Achievement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was not achieved by forcibly stacking breakthroughs via the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was achieved through his own insight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye felt invigorated, after simply practicing the Qi Concealment Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he took out a Qi Nourishing Pill from his Storage Bag and began cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation is the foundation of everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo, only twenty-five years old, though he seems affable, his cultivation has already firmly reached the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His talent surpassed even Li Qiuyun, who, at the age of twenty-three, was only at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he be an artifact refiner at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Treasure Pavilion is one of the five major sects of the Yan Kingdom, an industry under the Spirit Treasure Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the artifact refiners and stewards in the pavilion are sect disciples from the Spirit Treasure Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lives extremely frugally, wishing he could split every spirit stone in half when spending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other stewards in the market who socialize lavishly and indulge in enjoyment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo’s greatest wish is to save enough spirit stones to return to the sect and marry the junior sister he dearly loves, with grand ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is the only light in his gloomy life, and the greatest motivation for his diligent cultivation and hard work to save money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ping Zhuo has an unknown secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has always loved everything cute, whether it’s the lazy cat napping in the corner or the fluffy puppy chased by the neighboring kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worth mentioning, the name Miu was given by him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, this affection also includes cute and charming female cultivators—especially his junior sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he is always too embarrassed to mention it to outsiders, fearing they would mock him for being \"sissy\" despite being a grown man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until today, he inadvertently discovered that the newly moved-in Taoist Friend Chen next door, who seems mature and steady, surprisingly shares the same inclination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Ping Zhuo a slight sense of kinship, as if he had found his group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo couldn’t help but touch his rough face, recalling his unimpressive, even somewhat fierce face in the bronze mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, it must be because of his ugly appearance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed that every time he tried to show a friendly smile to the two delicate little girls, they would hide fearfully behind Taoist Friend Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it must be his ferocious appearance that scared them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Taoist Friend Chen, whose demeanor is clear and features handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do his two disciples also seem somewhat afraid of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the black-haired girl, why does she always look at Taoist Friend Chen with a hint of... caution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo was puzzled, only finding the hearts of people in the Cultivation Realm to be even more unpredictable than the fires of the artifact refining furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a deep, soul-shaking rumble came from the depths of the Three Thousand Great Mountains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Zhuo rushed out into the courtyard, his pupils immediately narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see the thick leaden clouds above the distant mountains being torn apart by an invisible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive, slowly rotating ice-blue vortex occupied the entire sky!\u003C\u002Fp>",1737,"2026-06-06T06:08:59.013Z",1,"novelbin.me","e1ac5ee55f8f029a54d40c53a6515ad53853817d78000b6ca02221d1d20563fb","longevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-chapter-67","longevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-chapter-65",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-cover.jpg"]
