Chapter 358: Eternal Youth
Even when the food was already on the table, Elvy was still staring at her arms, frowning in thought.
Earlier, Chu Nan and Angie Prairie had cut a wound on her arms and treated her according to their cultivation methods.
Then, Elvy kept thinking about the problem. She was even in a daze when she followed Chu Nan to the dining room and sat down.
âHeh, Elvy, itâs time to eat.â Chu Nan shouted. Elvy still did not react, so he could only reach out and wave his hand in front of her before waking her from her thoughts.
Elvy only replied gloomily before picking up something on the table with a blank expression and poking the nearest dish.
She was holding a bottle openerâŚ
Chu Nan could not stand it anymore. He reached out and snatched the bottle opener from her hand before shouting, âHey! Elvy, wake up. Eat first. Think about it after eating.â
Elvy blinked and her eyes slowly recovered. Her eyes focused again.
Seeing Chu Nanâs helpless expression and Angie Prairie looking at her with interest, Elvy smiled in embarrassment.
âIâm sorry, Iâm like this. Itâs very easy to get engrossed when thinking about problems.â
âPreviously, I didnât believe it when Dunleavy said that you were accepted by Star Cloud Academy. Even if he personally sent you to Star Cloud Academy, I still find it unbelievable. However, now that I see you thinking so seriously, I finally believe it completely.â Chu Nan sighed and asked, âThen what have you been thinking about for so long? Come, tell me. Letâs chat while eating.â
Elvy nodded and picked up the cutlery again. She first picked a mouthful of food and pondered for a moment before asking Angie Prairie, âMiss Angie Prairie, is Supremacy Oville younger than before?â
Chu Nan was stunned. What kind of question was this?
Angie Prairie nodded happily and replied, âYes. Master has been getting younger and younger in the past two years. Now, just from her appearance, she wonât be much older than me. If you donât believe me, you can ask Chu Nan. He met Master with me last time.â
Elvy turned to look at Chu Nan who immediately nodded.
âYes, if itâs only from the outside, no one will suspect that Supremacy Oville is only in her early twenties this year.â
Elvy touched her chin as if recalling something.
âThe last time Supremacy Oville appeared publicly was more than four years ago. At that time, she looked to be only in her thirties. I didnât expect that after four years, she had actually evolved to the point where she looked to be only in her early twentiesâŚâ
Chu Nan could not help but ask, âAre you very familiar with the Flame of Life? You actually know that Supremacy Oville can regain her youth.â
âNo, Iâm only very familiar with the paper Supremacy Oville published in the field of genetic engineering.â Elvy shook her head, âShe once published a paper about Internal Breath cultivation methods affecting the genes of the human body 13 years ago. In it, she said that if an Internal Breath cultivation method is cultivated to a certain extent, it can not only change the human cells, but also deeply affect the deepest genes and allow the human body to recover to the best state in life.â
âIn other words, rejuvenation?â
âThatâs not necessarily true.â Elvy shook her head again. âA personâs life is very long. Everyone is different when they are in their best state. To most ordinary people, the best state is usually the period when the human body is completely mature. They are usually between the ages of 19 to 27. The exact age depends on their personal situation. From Supremacy Ovilleâs situation, her best state might be at the age of 20. Therefore, as her Flame of Life cultivates, her physical appearance will be closer to this age period.â
At this point, Elvy paused and asked Angie Prairie, âMiss Angie Prairie, youâre not even 18 years old this year, right?â
âYes, Iâve just turned 16,â Angie Prairie replied with a smile.
âThen your Flame of Life shouldnât have reached the highest level, right?â
âOf course. My cultivation level is far inferior to Masterâs. However, Master said that my cultivation speed is much faster than hers. I might not need ten years to catch up to her.â
âIf itâs less than ten years, then you wonât even be 26 years old.â Elvy suddenly smiled, âMiss Angie Prairie, congratulations on being able to stay young forever. This is the dream of all girls.â
Angie Prairie shook her head. âI donât want this to happen. Master once said that if one doesnât experience old age, their life will be incomplete and they wonât cherish their youth. Therefore, I hope to let myself grow old naturally and slowly regain my youth like Master.â
âAccording to my research, if you can study the Flame of Life more deeply, you can even casually control your life state. Then, itâs possible for you to become old or young if you want,â Elvy said.
âIsnât that a demon?â Chu Nan could not help but click his tongue.
âThis has nothing to do with demons. The Flame of Life⌠or rather, the human genes are so magical.â Elvy turned around and said to Chu Nan in a very serious tone, âBrother Chu Nan, I wasnât joking when I said that I might help you resolve the problem of it being very difficult to break through the Cosmic Heavenâs Gate.â
âOh? Tell me about it.â Previously, Chu Nan was not interested in the topic of genes. Now that he heard this, he was immediately interested.
âThe reason why the two Star-Grade Martial Artists judged that it was very difficult for you to break through the Cosmic Heavenâs Gate was because they felt that because you were already an adult and your body was already fixed, you could not undergo any deeper tempering, so you could not resolve some of the problems you encountered when breaking through, right?â
âYes, thatâs right.â
âIn a general sense, theyâre right. I just said that the best state for most people is between 19 to 27 years old. In other words, before they turn 19 years old, most peopleâs bodies will be in a constantly improving state. After they turn 27 years old, their bodies will slowly decline.â
âDoesnât that mean I still have more than half a year?â Chu Nan muttered, âIâm not even 19 yet.â
Elvy chuckled, âBrother Chu Nan, although youâre right, the greatest change in the human body is below the age of 14. Youâre already more than 18 years old. Even if thereâs still a year until youâre 19, it wonât help.â
âThen Iâll give up?â Chu Nan frowned.
âOf course not.â Elvy shook her head. âIsnât that the problem I was talking about just now? The Flame of Life is a powerful Internal Breath cultivation method that can directly affect the genes of the human body, let alone improve the human body at a relatively low level. Now that youâve learned the Flame of Life, you can completely rely on it to improve your body and become more suitable to break through the Cosmic Heavenâs Gate. Look, Miss Angie Prairie has cultivated the Flame of Life since she was young. There wonât be any problems when she breaks through the Cosmic Heavenâs Gate in the future.â
