"That is to say, you misunderstood her?" Ao Jiao smiled. Then, she suddenly reacted and said, "That's impossible. How can you only have ten years of lifespan? After you break through to the Blue Robed Emperor, your lifespan will increase to one thousand years."
Xiao Chen thought for a while before replying, "Lifespan is divided into two types. One is natural lifespan, and the other is physiological lifespan.
"Natural lifespan is easy to understand. Ordinary people's natural lifespan is seventy or eighty years. As cultivators break through their cultivation realms, their natural lifespan will increase.
"Physiological lifespan is the lifespan of the body. Normally speaking, the two are the same. However, sometimes, there are accidents that cause the physiological lifespan to exceed the natural lifespan by too much. She is twenty years old, but her body is that of a seventy or eighty year old.
"The Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter should be referring to my physiological lifespan."
Ao Jiao felt that this was incredible. She asked doubtfully, "What exactly did you see when you took the Holy Daughter's pulse for you to change so much?"
When Xiao Chen recalled that scene, he was still deeply shocked.
After a long time, he said, "Her physiological lifespan is like that of a baby. If there are no accidents, she will remain like that for the next ten years."
"How can that be? She looks like she is at least twenty years old."
Xiao Chen did not believe it, either. However, that aura could not be wrong.
The Alchemy section of the Compendium of Cultivation had some knowledge of medicine. The pulse taking technique recorded there could not be wrong.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Chen started to take the Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter's words seriously, no longer treating them as nonsense.
After Xiao Chen calmed down and thought about it, he realized that the other party did not know him, so there was no need for her to speak nonsense. It would not do her any good.
After that, he used this pulse taking technique to check his physiological lifespan. Although it looked strong, the physiological lifespan of a peak Rank 4 Sage Body did indeed have less than ten years left.
Xiao Chen had never thought about this problem before. The Alchemy section of the Compendium of Cultivation only had a brief introduction to this, so he had not paid much attention to it.
Ao Jiao came to a realization and said, "I think I know what the problem is. There's a problem with your physical body cultivation. You endured all kinds of pain and tempered your body thousands of times. When your physical body improved by leaps and bounds, you didn't pay attention to the way to nourish your body."
Xiao Chen's physical body cultivation was indeed somewhat horrifying. At such a young age, he had already attained a peak Rank 4 Sage Body.
Xiao Chen had started cultivating his physical body in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion from the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art. If he calculated the time, it had been less than ten years.
However, in the past ten years, he had not done anything to nourish his body. Instead, he had used heavenly materials and earthly treasures to nourish his body.
This was also because he had never met a true master on his path of cultivation.
Ao Jiao had a lot of experience, but the Thunder King did not cultivate his corporeal body and knew very little about this aspect, so he could not help Xiao Chen.
Back when Xiao Chen first advanced to Martial Monarch, he had to refine his Quintessence twice for each minor realm, enduring boundless pain.
That path established the purity of Xiao Chen's Quintessence. Even after he converted it to Heavenly Sage Laws, his Quintessence was still much denser than that of cultivators of the same generation.
However, the damage to his body would be immense. At that time, Xiao Chen felt that he would be fine once he endured it.
Going further, when Xiao Chen was in the lower realm, he had rashly used the Strength Character Formula. Thirty-threefold combat prowess was heaven-defying. As an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch, he had forced back a Martial Sage.
Perhaps at that time, the seeds of danger had already been planted.
Now, looking at the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Deities Descending, Xiao Chen had been using the tenfold combat prowess wantonly. He had probably unknowingly drained his physiological lifespan.
Tenfold combat prowess, thirty-threefold combat prowess … such heaven-defying existences should have a price.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen recalled that in his previous life, there had also been a heaven-defying martial arts expert on Earth. At a young age, he had been unrivaled, famous throughout the world.
However, he had died young and mysteriously. There was a rumor that he had cultivated excessively, undergoing too much cruel training.
The two remained silent. After a while, Xiao Chen recovered his emotions. He smiled and said, "It's fine. It is not too late to understand now. At the very least, I know of two ways to salvage the situation."
"Which two?"
"Naturally, the first is the Lunar Palace's Longevity Art. Unfortunately, that is the Lunar Palace's Sacred Canon. Outsiders can only read three chapters at most; it is impossible to read the entire book."
Hence, there was no need to even think about the first method. How could the Lunar Palace lend its inherited Sacred Canon to outsiders? Snatching it was even more impossible. The Lunar Palace had many experts. It would be better to just marry a Holy Daughter.
"As for the second method, there is no need to beg others. It is my own Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art. Now that I think about it, I somewhat understand why this Body Tempering Cultivation Technique is called the Body Nourishing Art and not the Body Tempering Art. The foundation of the Body Tempering Art is clearly to nourish the body! "
When Ao Jiao heard this, she smiled and said, "Really! So, you already thought of this solution long ago. You startled me."
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly in his heart. Although that was what he said, he had exhausted too much of his physiological lifespan. It had already reached a point where it could not be reversed.
Even if the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art was useful, it might be too late to realize it now. Xiao Chen was not sure.
However, he did not want Ao Jiao to worry too much, so he purposely said this. The most reliable solution was still the Lunar Palace's Longevity Art.
Just at this moment, the sound of something tearing came from behind. Xiao Chen frowned slightly and turned around to look.
Xiao Chen saw a stout, dark-skinned man giving off a ruffian aura quickly flying towards him.
Xiao Chen did not see any killing Qi from this person or any killing intent in his eyes. Instead, he had a strange expression.
How should Xiao Chen put it? This expression was one of worship.
Xiao Chen felt suspicious. However, he kept his guard up and let the stout man fly in front of him.
"Haha! Brother, your speed is extraordinarily fast. If we had not paused on this island for a while, I would have lost you." The dark-skinned man stopped and laughed heartily.
Xiao Chen smiled to himself. This person is really straightforward. I wonder why he is following me all the way here?
"Brother, I think very highly of you. Come with me to kidnap the Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter!"
The stout man said seriously just as Xiao Chen thought this.
Xiao Chen could not help but want to laugh. This person could no longer be described as' straightforward '.
If not for this stout man being stronger than that Sun Palace elite disciple, Xiao Chen would have thought that he had run into a madman.
The Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter could not be casually kidnapped. Not to mention the Holy Daughter, Xiao Chen also sensed a Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor expert by her side.
If Xiao Chen managed to kidnap her, given the Lunar Palace's reputation, there would be no place for him in the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean.
Furthermore, the Lunar Palace disciples all had Secret Techniques to protect themselves. There would be no benefit in kidnapping such a person.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen still smiled and said, "Brother, thank you for thinking so highly of me. However, I do not have such ambitions. Furthermore, I still have important matters to attend to. You will have to find someone else for such a big matter."
The dark-skinned man revealed an expression of extreme regret. He said, "How unfortunate. Many people of the righteous and righteous factions want to do something but cannot. Brother, you managed to do it easily. It is too unfortunate that you do not join us."
The stout man did not give up. He continued to try to persuade Xiao Chen to do great things with him.
Finally, when he saw Xiao Chen's firm attitude, he smiled helplessly and said, "Brother has things to do, so I will not insist. However, with one look, I can tell that Brother is a kindred spirit. Tell me your name, and if you have time in the future, come to the Black Sea. I, Ba Tu, will definitely take good care of you. "
The Black Sea … Xiao Chen felt excited. That was the place with the richest resources in the entire oceanic world. It was precisely because of the Black Sea that the many major factions of the Heavenly Starry Ocean did not care about the resources of the Starry Heavens.
To them, the resources of the Black Sea were an inexhaustible treasure trove. There was no need for them to go to the Starry Heavens.
However, the Black Sea was also a place for Great Bandits and peak loose cultivators.
This Ba Tu before Xiao Chen did not look like a loose cultivator. He did not have the baleful aura of a loose cultivator. He should be the descendant of a famous Great Bandit.
Xiao Chen was willing to befriend such a person. He smiled and said, "I am Mo Yun. We will meet again in the future."
For a very long time, Mo Yun would be Xiao Chen's alias when he traveled the Heavenly Starry Ocean.
Ba Tu watched as Xiao Chen flew in the direction of the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market. Only when Xiao Chen's figure disappeared did he turn his head back. He still had an expression of pity on his face.
A sea market, a market on the sea, referred to a cultivator's market that existed only in the oceanic world.
There were many sea markets of various sizes in the Southern Sea. However, the most famous and famous one had to be the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market.
Xiao Chen followed the sea map and walked on the water. His white robes and folding fan made him look unremarkable in the vast sea.
As Xiao Chen got closer to the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market, the number of cultivators he met increased.
These people were in groups of two or three, discussing the upcoming Ten Thousand Treasure Festival.
Not only were there auctions for the various levels, but there were also professional auctions, such as Secret Treasure auctions, Medicinal Pill auctions, Spirit Weapon auctions, and so on.
Aside from these, there were also all sorts of appraisal sessions. If one had good judgment and a good character, one might be able to obtain some pleasant surprises.
The biennial Ten Thousand Treasure Festival was considered a grand event in the Southern Sea. Many cultivators would rush over.
Xiao Chen did not travel very fast. After half a month, he finally saw the landmark of the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market.
A gigantic statue stood on the surface of the vast sea. Its upper body was above the water, and it was tens of thousands of zhang tall.
The statue was dressed like an Immortal Cultivator from the Immortal Epoch. It wore Buddhist robes, and four Carefree Scarves floated above its head.
The statue's left hand was stretched out in the air, and two fingers of its right hand formed a sword. The statue stared into the distance, piercing through space and the barrier of the sky as it looked at the distant Starry Heavens.
The statue seemed to be forming some kind of hand seal, giving the impression that a living person had suddenly petrified after being magnified countless times.
The statue froze in the river of time, trapped for a lifetime.
This kind of scene could only be seen from a very far distance. However, when one got closer, one would not be able to see it clearly because it was too vast and tall.
The entire Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market was made up of thousands of islands of various sizes around the statue.
The core island was the palm of the statue. That was a city, and the peak auctions were held there.
Merchant ships stood in great numbers, and the flags of thousands of merchant associations fluttered in the wind. It was bustling, noisy, and vast. This was the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market.
