His skin was loose, his face was wrinkled, and his hair had turned completely white.
It was rare for people to live to be seventy years old in ancient times, and now Qiao Mu, who is ninety years old, is a relatively rare centenarian in this imperial capital.
“Is it old age?”
When Qiao Mu was sixty years old, due to the Changsheng Fist, his energy and blood did not decline, and he did not feel any weakness, which was no different from when he was young and strong.
Now, at the age of ninety...
"I'm old and useless." Qiao Mu sighed, gathered his inner strength at his toes, bent his body, bent his knees, and lightly stepped forward with his feet.
call out!
His figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, turning into a residual shadow that quickly swept across the street.
A night watchman was patrolling the street with a lantern in his hand. Suddenly, a strong wind blew in his face and the lantern in his hand was almost blown out. However, he did not notice anything unusual.
He used his lightness skills to run madly in the night of the imperial capital, climbing over eaves and walls as if he were walking on flat ground.
He used his lightness skills all the way and no one noticed him for a while.
At the same time, his consciousness went deep into the sea of his heart. The lock of immortality floated up and down in his mind, and a stream of information emerged from it.

...
From the time he started hunting down the Saintess Wu Qingxin, the deeds and fame he accumulated along the way, interspersed with the deeds of Qiao Sen, all of these past events became his nourishment, and ultimately ended with his beheading at Caishikou in the imperial capital, and Qiao Zhong's life came to an abrupt end.
The memory of thirty years of hard training in martial arts flowed through my mind like a dream.
The S-level evaluations accumulated along the way made Qiumu age thirty years faster, which was twice the previous A-level evaluation, jumping to the age of ninety.
Not only does the length of time double, a higher evaluation also means higher efficiency in using time.
With a quick glance, it was found that Qiao Mu had practiced almost every martial art to the level of minor success or proficiency.
In particular, the simpler and earliest practiced military gun skills have reached a perfect level.
Not only that, just as Qiao Mu was immersed in his thirty years of martial arts experience, a clear crackling sound of shattering suddenly came from his mind.
I saw the Ouroboros Longevity Lock in the center of my mind, with five chains dangling from the bottom. At this moment, one of the chains suddenly broke and turned into streaks of golden light that disappeared completely.
A stream of information flowed into Qiao Mu's mind.
"After the first chain breaks, from now on, the aging time for each death will be twice as long as before? Is this a breakthrough brought about by the S-level death evaluation?"
This thought flashed through Qiao Mu’s mind.
At this point, he vaguely understood that the martial arts he practiced after each death were not random, but would have different emphases depending on his thoughts.
For example... When hunting down the Saintess Wu Qingxin, someone once said that the Bone-Eroding Fire Warrior could not resist it and could only rely on light skills to dodge, and hard skills would not work.
Therefore, during these thirty years, Qiao Mu's memory of practicing martial arts was clearly more inclined towards light skills.
The flying thief's light skill of stealth step was clearly practiced after he came to Heyang Prefecture, but now he has made great progress and reached perfection in an instant.
What made Qiao Mu feel even more outrageous was that behind these many martial arts, there was a line of small characters, which read "The Art of Sex" (Minor Achievement)
Can I practice the art of sex? This isn't martial arts anymore, right? Wait, when did I practice the art of sex
Qiao Mu was shocked.
As his attention focused, several familiar names slowly emerged in the "Art of Sex" column.
"Chrysanthemum Acupuncture Points", "The Art of Recognizing Fragrances", "Beating People with a Big Stick", "Yellow Dragon Searching for Clouds"... ..
At the same time, related memories began to emerge in my mind.
In memory, Qiao Mu studied the secrets of sex arts day and night, practicing in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter. As the saying goes, if you work hard, you can grind an iron rod into an embroidery needle. After years of study, Qiao Mu's sex arts have reached a minor level of success... .
Chapter 128: Old but Still Strong
"Don't add random memories to me. I am practicing the orthodox Wudang Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu."
Qiao Mu shook his head, stopped at the eaves in the east of the city, and rested for a while.
After calming down, he felt that running wildly in the night using light skills was still a bit ostentatious.
After all, this is the imperial capital, so there are naturally many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, countless masters, and even immortal gates.
His mind moved, and then he turned his attention to the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" that he cared about most.
The so-called "Sumeru King Sutra" is just the prototype of the "Humanity Sutra".
This technique, which has not yet been perfected, is naturally one of Qiao Mu's main techniques for the past thirty years.
Thirty years later, Qiao Mu's "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" was directly practiced to the fifth level.
"Already at the fifth level? I remember that even Hai Wuya, the founder of this technique, only practiced to the fourth level. Although the fifth level has been deduced, it only exists in theory. Even Hai Wuya himself has not practiced to this level."
The Sumeru Mountain King Sutra means that accumulation of earth forms a mountain and accumulation of small amounts makes a lot.
This martial art does not emphasize internal strength, but focuses on training the body's qi and blood. Hai Wuya, who came from an external martial artist background, believes that the body's qi and blood are the foundation of a martial artist.
With each level, the time required doubles.
The first level requires two years of hard training, the second level four years, and the third level eight years.
Hai Wuya himself had reached the fourth level, which he said was equivalent to fifteen years of hard training... He had been in the Heavenly Prison for thirty years, but that couldn't be considered as him practicing martial arts with all his heart and soul.
Qiao Mu practiced hard for thirty years and instantly surpassed the founder Hai Wuya in the attainment of "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra", reaching the theoretical fifth level.
Going further ahead would be an unknown area that Hai Wuya has not yet deduced.
And the thirty years of skill in the fifth level of the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra"...
Qiao Mu clenched his fists and looked at his current face in the puddle in the alley in the moonlight.
A ninety-year-old tree naturally looks much older than a sixty-year-old tree.
Judging from his appearance, the old man was thin and dry, with wrinkles all over his face. The patrolling officers and soldiers felt that he was very safe.
Of course, the current face has also been appropriately adjusted through the changes in flesh and blood.
"Has my energy and blood really declined?" Qiao Mu clenched his fists as this strange thought emerged in his mind.
One of the concepts of the Humanity Sutra is to fight against human aging, allowing warriors to maintain high levels of Qi and blood even in their later years.
Qiao Mu clenched his fists, then immediately unclenched them.
He knew very well that this ninety-year-old body was indeed much older than when he was sixty, and the wrinkles on his face were not fake.
But no matter how old he is, Qiao Mu knows in his heart that his body is not any weaker than when he was sixty years old, and may even be slightly stronger.
"I'm old, but I've also become stronger. To put it in a rounded way, it's like I've achieved the everlasting Qi and blood that the Changsheng Fist dreams of in another way?"
Ninety years old, “old but not weak”, this seems to have surpassed the patriarch of the Heyang Qiao family, right
This thought flashed through Qiao Zhong’s mind.
Qiao Canxue once boasted about the patriarch of his own Heyang Qiao family, saying that he was a master of martial arts and had unfailing vitality at the age of eighty. He was also the only one in the martial arts family of Heyang Qiao who had practiced the Dielang Jin to the third level, the Triple Wave realm.
In the blink of an eye, Qiao Mu also reached this realm, and even found another way to overtake others through the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra". After he turned ninety, his energy and blood not only did not decline, but even increased slightly.
From this perspective, the effect of "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" is even stronger than the "Eternal Life Fist Sutra" of the Heyang Qiao family.
When I thought of this, a new column of information appeared in my mind.
Qi and blood: 70%
"This means that due to aging, my Qi and blood have declined by 70% compared to my prime years? But with the help of the Mount Sumeru Sutra, my Qi and blood have actually risen again?"
"Hai Wuya's "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" is not perfect. If it continues to be practiced, perhaps the effect will be even stronger..."
"If the idea of the Changsheng Quan Jing to fight aging is to save money, then the Xumi Shanwang Jing is to increase income."
This thought flashed through Qiao Mu’s mind.
Compared with the continuous increase in physical energy and blood, the greater impact of the S-level death evaluation is actually the improvement in the level of martial arts skills and the continuous accumulation of internal strength.
From the age of 60 to 90, Qiumu's physical energy and blood increased.
But the increase in internal strength is the result of thirty years of accumulation.
Needless to say, there were breakthroughs in martial arts. Qiao Mu had at best achieved some success in all the martial arts moves he had practiced.
A warrior's body will age, but his internal strength and martial arts skills will continue to improve with the accumulation of time.
Of course, if the body is so old that it can no longer walk, no matter how strong the internal energy is, it will be like rootless duckweed.
At the age of 90, his accumulation of strength and skills may be unmatched by his peers.
Qiao Mu used his Qinggong skills to continue his journey in the dark and soon reached the outskirts of the city.
Although the imperial capital is prosperous, there are also many poor people, empty houses and wastelands in the suburbs.
And where Qiumu has arrived now is a piece of wasteland on the outskirts of the city, next to a mass grave.
"Under the crooked tree where the jailer Fang Yuan agreed to meet, there is a hundred taels of silver hidden. This is the reward for me teaching him martial arts. It's time to come and get it..."
After a brief search, Qiaomu found the crooked tree.
He casually plucked a dogtail grass from the roadside, held it in his hand, and secretly poured his strong internal energy into it. The grass suddenly straightened up like a sword.
Qiao Mu practiced martial arts from the age of 18 to 90, and from the very beginning he practiced advanced techniques such as "The Changsheng Fist Classic" and "The Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu". After nearly seventy years of accumulation, his internal strength has long exceeded the so-called fourth-level soft upper limit of the human body.
At his current level, with the infusion of strong internal energy, grass, wood, bamboo and stone can all be turned into swords. He is no longer limited to external weapons.
He held the grass in his hand and stabbed the ground with a sword.
At this moment, this blade of grass sank into the soil easily like a sharp sword.
Qiao Mu used the grass in his hand as a shovel and dug out quickly.
Soon, a small blue package appeared in the small pit, with neatly stacked silver inside.
Qiao Mu counted them carefully, but frowned:
"This is two hundred taels of silver. Is it different from the agreed one hundred taels of silver?"
While I was thinking, I heard a cat's meow and a young man's voice that sounded familiar from behind.
"But is Senior Qiao in person?"
When he turned around, he saw the young jailer Fang Yuan, with the calico cat Wuchang under his feet, staring at him eagerly.
Let me talk about last month's bounty and this month's update
Let me talk about the previous bounties and the updates for the coming month.
The bounty was offered before the anniversary celebration, but I forgot to write the deadline for the bounty, so I just assumed it would be until the end of the month.
The total is 60+5. I found the source of the cover cat picture, so it is 65 updates, 65*2000=13W words.
From the day the reward was launched to the end of last month, a total of 45,000 yuan was added, and the remaining amount is 85,000 yuan to be repaid.
The minimum is 4K, and the excess is counted as extra updates. With this calculation, if the update speed is maintained at around 7-8K per day, the payment should be paid off by the end of the month when the post is reopened.
Next, I will try my best to maintain 7k to 8k daily updates without disrupting my work and rest schedule.
