Chapter 304: The Effect of Youth Rejuvenation
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Alexander didn't believe he was that old, so he opened the selfie function on his phone and carefully observed his face.
"Oh, we are twin brothers, born the same day. I just came out of Mom's belly before him," Owen said, asking Alexander, "Brother, how old are we this year?"
"28!" Alexander answered into his phone confidently.
He was very certain that he didn't look old at all. The image of himself on his phone was so handsome.
As for why he and his brother felt the age difference, he didn't understand either. Perhaps it was because of the good environment at the bottom of the cliff? The fresh air?
"28?" Thomas was half skeptical.
Thinking about it, Alexander did look like he was around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but no matter how Owen looked, he appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen.
After comparing Owen and Alexander again and again, Thomas excitedly exclaimed, "Master, it's the Youth Rejuvenation technique! The Youth Rejuvenation technique you practiced is working! Didn't you start practicing martial arts when you were eight years old? This year, you're twenty-eight, which means it's been exactly twenty years!
No wonder, how could you look young when you haven't washed your hair or taken a bath for twenty years? Before, you clearly looked like you were in your thirties or forties, but after taking a bath, you suddenly look like you're in your teens or twenties. It goes without saying, the Youth Rejuvenation technique is working!"
Owen suddenly realized that it was indeed the effect of the Youth Rejuvenation technique! That's why he, the older brother, appeared younger than his younger brother.
"Youth Rejuvenation technique?" Alexander was extremely curious. "Are those diagrams carved on the stone wall outside?"
"Yes!" Thomas enthusiastically explained, "The so-called Youth Rejuvenation technique is a cultivation method that allows people to reverse aging. After practicing it for three years, one gains the ability of self-repair. After ten years of practice, one can live forever without aging, and after twenty years, one can reverse aging!
Unfortunately, my cultivation is not good enough yet, so I can only heal minor injuries and illnesses. I remember a few years ago, I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and it was easy for me to heal myself back then. But now, I don't know why, I can't heal myself anymore. Normally, with my continuous cultivation, my healing ability should be getting stronger, right?"
Owen replied, "As long as one diligently cultivates and doesn't deviate from the righteous path, the healing ability of the Youth Rejuvenation technique will only become stronger. If the healing ability gradually becomes ineffective, there are only two reasons.
Either the practitioner has committed evil deeds, such as theft, robbery, murder, arson, lying, cheating, and so on. The Youth Rejuvenation technique is a divine skill, not just about appearances."
"Evil techniques. To cultivate divine skills, one must follow the right path and accumulate virtue through doing good deeds. Only then will the cultivation methods become more refined and advanced over time.
If a cultivator does not commit evil deeds but their cultivation gradually regresses, it means they were trying to take shortcuts during their practice. Cultivation is not just to please the master, but to elevate oneself."
After speaking, Owen patted Thomas on the shoulder. "You've definitely been slacking off lately. Go back and practice diligently!"
Thomas felt extremely ashamed. He knew in his heart that his Rejuvenation of Youth was gradually losing its effect, clearly due to the first reason: he had committed evil deeds.
Speaking of which, it was really ironic. Eight years ago, he found a shortcut to escape from the bottom of the cliff and just as he returned to the bustling city, he saw a middle-aged woman desperately running while carrying a male infant.
Behind the middle-aged woman, six or seven men were chasing after her with sticks.
At that time, Thomas thought that the people chasing behind were all bad guys, so he decisively helped the middle-aged woman avoid disaster.
Afterwards, the middle-aged woman brought Thomas to her gang, and the leader of the gang publicly praised Thomas, giving him a lot of money, delicious food and drinks, and even allowed him to enter the core management of the gang.
It was only then that Thomas realized he had inadvertently joined a human trafficking gang and became a member of the management.
He knew he shouldn't have joined, but eight years ago he attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff because he owed a huge high-interest loan that he couldn't repay.
As a member of the gang's management, he enjoyed the highest treatment, never worrying about food or drink, and counting money until his fingers were sore every day.
Thus, he completely fell into depravity.
His primary tasks every day were to deceive children, abduct children, and sell children.
Before long, due to his outstanding performance, he was embraced as the leader of the entire gang of human traffickers.
