Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 169 - 136: Eunuch

Through Li Dayao’s explanation, Chu Lingguang and the others finally realized.

The so-called Six-Layered Dharma Aspect of Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, Qi, and Spirit was a resonance with the Dragon Elephant Power. Chu Lingguang’s ability to unleash the Majestic Skin Aspect came from unconsciously finding the resonance point between his Dragon Elephant Power and the surface of his skin.

With a flip of his hand, the Dragon Elephant Power would surge to the surface of his skin, imbuing a single punch with the force of a thousand jin.

But from Li Dayao’s explanation, Chu Lingguang learned this was only a crude form of the Majestic Skin Aspect’s power. The true Majestic Skin Aspect didn’t just involve circulating the Dragon Elephant Power freely to the surface of the skin. It also required using the skin’s own strength, through that resonance, to evolve the Dragon Elephant Power even further.

That was the true meaning of the Majestic Skin Aspect.

Although his Dragon Elephant Power could now unleash the Majestic Skin Aspect, he still needed further training to use the skin’s resonance points to evolve his Dragon Elephant Power and bring the Majestic Skin Aspect to its peak.

And doing so would require an Operation Method for the Dragon Elephant Power.

Not many people awakened the Dragon Elephant Power.

Much of what Li Dayao said wouldn’t actually benefit some of the listeners; in fact, it could cause them to overreach. For instance, upon learning that the power of a single Blood Dragon Elephant was comparable to that of three or four Bloodline Dragon Elephants, some were already planning to connect all the blood vessels in their bodies before attempting to awaken the Blood Dragon Elephant, and only then the Bloodline Dragon Elephant.

After all, while the Day and Night Breathing Technique could connect all the body’s blood vessels, it had taken even the great Yan Zhen three months to achieve this *after* leaving the academy.

Furthermore, if one intentionally suppressed the awakening of their Bloodline Dragon Elephant Power during cultivation, it would instead fall into a permanent dormant state, never to be awakened.

It would completely backfire.

That was why Li Dayao only touched on the subject lightly, ensuring the few who had awakened their Dragon Elephant Power understood while also boosting the confidence of those who hadn’t.

In the end, eleven people were chosen to enter the back courtyard and learn the Dragon Elephant Power Operation Method under Li Dayao: Chu Lingguang, Chen Jin, Emperor Yue Xuan, Qi Shiwei, Gao Yimu, Yan Chengdu, Lin Longde, Hu Yanlin, and three others.

A short while later, Chu Lingguang and the other ten followed Li Dayao into the back courtyard.

In the back courtyard, each of them received a private room.

This ensured they wouldn’t be disturbed by any commotion while practicing their Breathing and Exhaling.

The private rooms were spartan, containing only a wooden bed board, but everyone was as happy as if they’d been given their own private world.

Since it was already late, Li Dayao took the eleven of them to dinner before sending them back to their rooms to rest.

"Now that we’ve suppressed the news, those people outside are dying to rush onto the island and investigate," Liu Wan chuckled.

"Connecting all his blood vessels and activating the Blood Dragon Elephant... Chu Lingguang has given us so many surprises. We have to keep him under wraps," Li Dayao replied.

"Chu Lingguang’s talent is good, but he doesn’t seem to be the sharpest. I’m worried he won’t be able to make heads or tails of the Dragon Elephant Power’s Operation Method," Liu Wan said, his expression grave.

"That won’t happen. You saw it yourself. He awakened the Blood Dragon Elephant and even unleashed the Majestic Skin Aspect. The Operation Method might be a bit profound, but as long as he cultivates diligently, he’ll definitely continue to create miracles."

Li Dayao had complete faith in Chu Lingguang.

"I hope you’re right! Whether or not he can surpass Yan Zhen, as long as his use of the Dragon Elephant Power is decent, we’ll be able to answer to the Court. I just wonder who from the Court will take him on as a disciple?"

Liu Wan’s face was filled with anticipation and curiosity.

"Chu Lingguang’s talent is no weaker than Yan Zhen’s. Last time, Commander Wei was a step ahead and snatched up Yan Zhen, and Eunuch Liu has been holding a grudge about it ever since. Maybe this time..."

Li Dayao thought of an old man with a constant, beaming smile. He and Liu Wan exchanged a look, and both couldn’t help but shudder, not daring to let the thought continue.

"Chu Lingguang’s master is Guo Wei. Surely Eunuch Liu wouldn’t..."

"Hard to say."

The two of them, Liu Wan and Li Dayao, muttered to each other as they walked away.

Time flew by.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, Chu Lingguang and the other ten students had been cultivating the Dragon Elephant Power’s Operation Method with Li Dayao. Liu Wan had previously mentioned that the Day and Night Breathing Technique could connect blood vessels, awaken the Dragon Elephant Power, and even circulate it. Because of this, they had assumed Li Dayao would teach them how to use the Dragon Elephant Power via the Day and Night Breathing Technique.

But unexpectedly, Li Dayao directly taught them a new skill: the Circulation Operation Skill.

The goal was to merge this Skill with the Day and Night Breathing Technique, find the resonance points between them, and allow the body’s Dragon Elephant Power to flow unimpeded. As it circulated, the power would evolve, eventually unlocking the might of the Six-Layered Dharma Aspect of Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, Qi, and Spirit.

The Circulation Operation Skill was only a few hundred words long. Even if Chu Lingguang wasn’t the sharpest, three days were more than enough for him to memorize it by heart. On the morning of the fourth day, he habitually checked his information panel.

Favors: None

Chang Chun Pile Skill (0/2000)

Day and Night Breathing Technique (877/3000)

(Remaining Lifespan: 111 years)

Ever since he had successfully activated the Day and Night Breathing Technique and used it to awaken his Blood Dragon Elephant, Chu Lingguang’s mastery over the technique had seemed to click into place. The numbers on his panel had been increasing daily.

Unfortunately, despite three days and nights of arduous cultivation, Chu Lingguang still hadn’t managed to activate the Circulation Operation Skill, nor had it appeared on his panel.

He sighed softly.

He left his room, ate with the others, and then resumed his training with the group under Li Dayao’s guidance.

「Two days later.」

There were only five days left until the academy training ended.
