He didn't want any magical elixirs or billions of spirit stones.

In the end, Qin Beast paid the price of one jar of spirit wine every day to leave the "Heavenly Longevity Stone" on the mountain for 30 years.

"I'm sorry, senior."

"This sacred stone holds extraordinary significance for me, which is why I acted so rudely earlier."

"If I have overstepped my bounds in this matter, please forgive me, senior. If you cannot forgive me, then please bear with me. If you are unwilling to bear with me, then I will still take it by force."

Qin Shou cupped his hands, his large eyes full of sincerity, but what he said made Master Roshi's lips twitch.

What a load of rubbish! Apologies and forbearance, yet they still insist on taking it by force...

"It's alright. Meeting on the path of the Great Dao is fate. I, an old man, find this mountain abundant with spiritual energy, and there's even a faint flow of Daoist aura. I'm very pleased and will stay here for another 30 years. What harm is there in that?"

"Ah? Senior, you're staying here?" Qin Shou was slightly taken aback. "I was just about to have Yi Cheng deliver wine to your cave every day."

Master Roshi: "............What do you mean? I only lent you the divine stone because I thought you were good-looking. You don't mean to keep it and not return it, do you?"

Qin Shou shook his head. "No, no, I'm not that kind of person."

At the same time, he added in his mind that it wouldn't be too late to stay if he still hadn't figured out how to achieve immortality after 30 years.

...

The back mountain.

"Chang Sheng, come, let your master give you a treasure."

"What treasure is it, Master?"

"The Celestial Longevity Stone contains the ultimate truth of life. If you can comprehend this stone, you can live as long as this world exists. At the very least, as long as this world isn't destroyed by external forces, living for tens of millions of years won't be a problem."

Qin Shou took out the black stone tablet that was as tall as a person.

The inscription above reads four ancient characters: "May you live as long as Heaven."

"Really?!"

A sharp light flashed in Changsheng's eyes, and he reached out his trembling fingers to stroke the stone tablet.

Like a shy young man touching the thigh of a beautiful young woman for the first time, his cheeks even flushed red with excitement.

"Master—"

Chang Sheng wailed, moved, and hugged Qin Shou tightly.

"You're so kind to me!"

Changsheng frantically wiped her tears on Qin Shou's shoulder.

This provoked Qin the Beast's disgust... "I'm a germaphobe! I'm a germaphobe!"

"Holy crap! What a terrifying constitution!"

At this moment, Master Roshi, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Changsheng.

Upon seeing this, Qin Shou's mind raced. "Senior, what do you mean?"

"Could it be that my disciple possesses some kind of amazing special physique?"

A hint of anticipation flickered in Qin Shou's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Chang Sheng stared blankly at Master Roshi.

Holy crap, is it finally time for me to finally reap the rewards and level up as fast as my junior brothers and sisters?!

Chang Sheng was thrilled.

"It's very special."

Master Roshi nodded.

Qin Shou and Chang Sheng were even more excited after hearing this.

"master--"

Changsheng howled, tears glistening in his eyes, his joy barely concealed.

"Please elaborate, senior?"

Qin Shou respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

Master Roshi exclaimed, "Such a useless physique is truly a once-in-a-millennium occurrence!"

Qin Beast: .................

Longevity: .................

Qin Beast, Changsheng:............You fucking bastard!

"What kind of people are these, talking with such exaggerated breathing?"

"That's right, Master, I got excited for nothing."

Qin Shou and Chang Sheng exchanged a glance; one calmed himself down, while the other wiped away the tears that flowed from his overwhelming emotions.

"Cough cough,"

Master Roshi seemed to realize something, coughed twice as if feigning reminiscence, and then said slowly, with a hint of reminiscence in his expression:

"Speaking of which, I actually saw one of these useless bodies back in the day..."

Qin Shou and Chang Sheng immediately became interested, and their eyes turned to Master Roshi.

Master Roshi continued, "That time was so long ago, so long that I've almost forgotten it. The reason I still remember it is twofold: firstly, such a useless body is extremely rare, and secondly, that little fellow himself left a deep impression on me."

Qin Beast, Changsheng: "Get to the point."

Master Roshi:............What are these two, master and disciple? They won't even let me reminisce.

"That young man was born with a weak body, even worse than an ordinary person, but his desire to seek immortality was exceptionally firm. Seeing that he had a connection with me, I imparted to him a cultivation technique I had acquired by chance, the 'Minor Five Elements Technique'."

"The Lesser Five Elements Technique!"

"The Lesser Five Elements Technique!"

Qin Shou and Chang Sheng suddenly exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes, and then asked impatiently:

"And then what happened to that boy?"

"It's over!"

Master Roshi said calmly.

Qin Beast: ...........

Longevity:...............

Qin Beast, Changsheng:............What is this thing even talking about?

"well............."

Master Roshi's tone seemed to still carry a hint of sadness.

However, Qin Shou and Chang Sheng were even more distressed than him at this moment, and the thought of stewing this big black tortoise couldn't help but arise in the minds of the two master and disciple.

"Sigh... Senior, why bring him up when he's already dead?"

Qin Shou let out a breath, and even his accent changed slightly.

"Haha, it's been ten thousand years since I last saw such a rare physique, which has stirred up a rather vivid memory."

"By the way, senior, has that young man broken through to the Qi Refining Realm?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't remember such a young man."

"Oh?" Qin Shou's interest was piqued again. "May I ask what level that person has cultivated to?"

"Transformation into a Divine Being."

"Transformation into a Divine Being!"

Qin Shou was startled.

Changsheng was completely dumbfounded and exclaimed:

\\u003d????\\u003d????(●???● |||)“Holy crap, awesome!!!”

"Senior, you said he cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage??"

Qin Shou asked again with certainty.

"Yes, he has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage."

Master Roshi nodded firmly, gazed at the clouds above Mount Turtle, and sighed deeply.

"I have wandered the mortal world for countless years and have seen many outstanding talents, but only that young man has a steadfast character that I have never seen before in my life."

You've never seen him, so you probably can't imagine the terrible price he paid to break down the barrier between immortals and mortals.

His experiences are enough to move any god or Buddha in the world to tears.

He put himself on the brink of life and death every day, every night, every minute, every second.

Given his aptitude and physical constitution, coupled with the fact that he cultivated a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements, it should have been absolutely impossible for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, he spent a full 107 years breaking through the limits of the Heavenly Dao and successfully establishing his foundation. Then, he spent another 200 years defying the heavens and breaking through to the Golden Core Realm just before his death.

In the eyes of the geniuses of that era, he was nothing more than a lowly ant.

The level of cultivation he had achieved was utterly insignificant in the eyes of other geniuses at the same level.

But he was not afraid or discouraged. He wanted to live forever and cultivate immortality. He said that his lifelong wish was to break through the heavens and earth with his own strength and see the scenery in the sky.

Therefore, he took each step carefully, accumulating resources and honing his skills, often risking his life for opportunities...

He had ventured into countless dangerous places in order to continuously unleash his already meager potential.

He said that the more mediocre a person is, the more they need to find a way out in each desperate situation.

In life, if you don't move forward, you fall behind; the same applies to cultivation...
