The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 819: Undying Life Technique

Organizing a camping trip in Burning Man Valley, the name alone was enough to excite Li Qing.

Li Qing wasn’t very familiar with Wild Mouse Lookout and Yellow-Skin Tomb.

But as for Burning Man Valley, Li Qing had some knowledge of its history, although much of it was just rumors about that place.

Still, the vibe it gave off was far from pleasant.

Li Qing had never been there at midnight and didn’t know what it was like, but even at noon, the place was genuinely creepy.

Stepping into that red soil ravine felt like entering another world, instantly surrounded by an eerie silence, filled with deathliness.

It was as if there were no sounds at all; all you could see was the blood-like red earth and nothing else.

Scientifically, it’s called Danxia landform, but to the locals, it was an extremely bizarre existence.

Setting up a camping base in such a place, Li Qing thought Qin Wenjun’s idea was truly... absurd.

"Playing with contrasts isn’t wrong for modern people, but I think you should reconsider the camping base there," Li Qing advised on the way back.

"Qingzi, I’ve been to that place, it’s very quiet. If you ignore those rumors about Burning Man Valley, it’s not particularly terrifying, and the scenery is quite nice with an expansive view of the reddish-brown Danxia landforms. I personally like it," Qin Wenjun said.

"I think we can start with a trial, do some surveys. If the tourists respond well, we can fully commit to it."

Li Qing nodded, "When it comes to business, it’s better to be cautious. But honestly, your two ideas are really inventive, the names alone can spark people’s curiosity."

A haunted house outside of Wild Mouse Lookout, and a camping base in Burning Man Valley, these names were as unconventional as it gets.

"Qingzi, our main target is tourists from the city. I’ve done some research, and they really enjoy this sort of thing; that’s why I insist on doing it," Qin Wenjun spoke earnestly, "With relevant data to back us up and the current surge in popularity, here lies our village’s opportunity for wealth and prosperity."

"Go for it, I’ve got your back," Li Qing said.

Qin Wenjun pursed her lips with a light chuckle, then leaned in close to Li Qing and whispered, "Rather than support, I prefer when you come at me from behind."

"Still haven’t had enough for today?" Li Qing laughed, sneakily grabbing a handful of Qin Wenjun’s protruding chest.

Da Huang followed right behind them, which made it difficult for Li Qing to get handsy without being too obvious.

The seductiveness in Qin Wenjun’s eyes almost stretched into threads as she gazed straight at Li Qing and whispered, "Though it’s thrilling, the environment there doesn’t feel quite right. How about a rain-check for tonight? I feel like I’ve become tougher and more durable than before."

Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh, "You’ve got a point there, I’ve noticed it too."

"Is it because I’ve started to sense the qi?" Qin Wenjun asked quietly.

Li Qing nodded thoughtfully, "That might be possible, but it could also be that you’ve just gotten accustomed to it."

"I’d prefer the former; that way, I might have a chance to dominate you, to torment you for three hours straight and make you cry for mercy!" Qin Wenjun giggled, her seductive smile blossoming like a delicate flower bud, irresistibly endearing.

"Little guy, you’re quite ambitious," Li Qing said with a laugh as he gently scraped Qin Wenjun’s perky nose.

She even wanted to reverse the pressure on him.

When the two of them and the cat got home, they saw Jing Yan washing clothes by herself in the courtyard.

"Yan’er, when did you get here?" Li Qing asked with a bit of a pleasant surprise.

Sitting on a small stool, Jing Yan looked up with a smile and said, "I’ve been back for a while. Where did you guys go?"

"We went to look at a place. Wen Jun is planning a tourism project to transform the village," said Li Qing.

"Sister Yan, for such things, I think it would be better if you let me take care of them. There’s no need for you to do it yourself," Qin Wenjun approached Jing Yan and volunteered spiritedly, "We have a washing machine at home; I can have them washed for you in no time."

Although Jing Yan should rank at the very end among the women around Li Qing,

her status combined with her aura of being pampered and privileged her whole life placed her in the second spot as soon as she entered.

Apart from Han Mei, everyone else felt intimidated at the sight of Jing Yan.

"No need, I can do it myself. It’s just a small thing, and I quite like to do some things on my own," Jing Yan gently declined Qin Wenjun’s offer with a graceful smile, "When I came back, I passed by the Underground Palace and brought back a few pieces of clothing. They’ve been stored for some time and are slightly damp. I just need to clean them up a bit."

"Could these clothes have been... stored for a thousand years as well?" Li Qing suddenly asked with some astonishment.

"Indeed, these clothes were worn by me before. However, the chest they were stored in is specially made. Otherwise, after such a long time, they would have decayed for sure, instead of just becoming damp," Jing Yan said with a laugh.

She wiped the water off her hands with a handkerchief and handed a box to Li Qing, "Qingzi, this is for you."

"Is this the Magic Artifact and the incomplete secret technique?" Li Qing asked excitedly.

The treasure he had been yearning for had arrived.

Jing Yan’s lips carried a gentle smile as she nodded slightly, "However, things didn’t go as smoothly as hoped. The value of this Heavenly Rank Secret Technique can be high or low, and you can try to cultivate it. But there is a high chance that we’ve been tricked by the Wu Family. It’s difficult to cultivate, and... extremely painful. Moreover, two-thirds of it is missing. Even if the whole technique was intact, it’s a very challenging Heavenly Rank Secret Technique, belonging to those more demanding ones."

"Now with only one-third left, it barely holds the value of a Heavenly Rank Secret Technique. At best, it can be considered of Earth Rank." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"So, what’s your suggestion?" Li Qing asked.

With a serious expression, Jing Yan said, "I think you can give it a try. If it’s not successful, don’t force it."

"But if there is a chance, and you really can develop the Undying Skin, it will add a layer of protection to your travels in the world. With Undying Skin and no Heavy Treasure in the hands of opponents of the same Realm, they will hardly be able to hurt you."

"By the way, the name of this Cultivation Technique is the Undying Life Technique, which is originally composed of three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. The volume you have is the upper volume, Undying Skin, the middle is Undying Bones, and the last is Undying Blood. If the Undying Life Technique can be cultivated to perfection, you will be invincible in the world!"

Li Qing looked down at the box in his hands with no small shock, "This thing sounds pretty epic. Just for those four words, ’invincible in the world’, I think it’s worth a try. It’s just a bit of pain, right? I can tough it out."
