A light boat floats on the lake, accompanied by a faint smoke, looking dreamy.

Zhou Qing stood on the boat, looking at the small island in the middle of the lake and the Yunlong Pavilion on the island that was getting closer and closer.

Ao Xuanwei was standing on the shore, greeting Zhou Qing with a smile.

“You’re here.”

"I should have come."

Stepping onto the small island in the middle of the lake, this is also the place where Zhou Qing and the Dragon Girl met for the first time.

The two walked towards Yunlong Pavilion, and the dragon girl asked: "Why are you suddenly interested in these things?"

"I happened to think that human life is limited, and I couldn't help but let my imagination run wild. After chatting with Aunt Mo, I learned that there are many ways to use life span to do things, and I suddenly became very interested."

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of the world. Even the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the Phoenix Emperor cannot avoid them."

The dragon girl shook her head, "It's useless for us to think about it."

"At least we still have a long life ahead of us, at least we have seen the scenery that ordinary people cannot see in their lifetime."

"You are still so young, how can you think about these things?"

"Just thinking."

How can I not consider it? A life span of 10,000 years, oh no, now it has been reduced by 10 years.

I feel so sad that my life span of more than 9,000 years is lying here and I can't use it up.

You don’t understand me, no one understands me!

"I heard that a cave related to the Tianming Sect appeared in Tianyue County?"

“Yes, that is a land beast field left behind by the Tianming Sect, which contains the legacy of the land beast.”

The Dragon Girl sighed softly, "The Tianming Sect is mysterious and unpredictable. There is no telling how many things they left behind in this world, and countless people and forces have been influenced by them."

"If the Tianming Sect had not been mysteriously destroyed, no one could have guessed what the world would be like."

"The most powerful Taoist school in history is indeed fascinating." Zhou Qing nodded.

"The Earth Beast Field that appeared in Tianyue County was relatively common in the former Tianming Sect." Dragon Girl said: "Once someone found a fairy weapon in a secret place left behind by the Tianming Sect."

Zhou Qing was surprised, "Immortal weapon? Is there such a thing?"

Immortal weapons are so precious that any force that possesses them is the overlord of the world today. To a certain extent, they can use them to have an equal dialogue with forces like Xuandu Temple.

The strong ones on the Mountain and River Common People List will die, but if the immortal weapons are properly worshipped, they can last forever. This is the true ultimate foundation.

Getting a magical weapon from the ruins sounds so dreamy.

How incredible must one's luck be to have such a harvest.

Zhou Qing asked: "Who got the immortal weapon? Has the news been passed down?"

"It's widely circulated." The Dragon Girl smiled.

“It can be said that everyone knows it.”

"The one who obtained the immortal weapon in the secret place of Tianming Sect was the founding ancestor of the Sima family of Southern Jin. It was with the help of that immortal weapon that the Sima family was able to successfully usurp the throne and replace the emperor."

"That immortal weapon is called the Luoshen Fan."

"It turned out to be the Sima clan of Southern Jin, the weakest among the Three Kingdoms..." Zhou Qing had never expected that this clan would have such an amazing opportunity.

The royal family of the Three Kingdoms is ranked among the best in the world, and there is an immortal-level background in the family. Zhou Qing is not surprised.

Without such a foundation, they would not have been able to establish a country.

But the origin of Sima's magic weapon is so mysterious that it is really unexpected.

"Don't underestimate the Sima family. Although Jin is weak, the Sima family is not weak."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing was speechless.

"How can I belittle the Sima family? They are the royal family of the world after all. I am just an internal organ warrior. No matter how weak my strength is, I cannot underestimate them."

You may look down on their style, but their strength is real.

To say that the Sima family is weak depends on who they are compared with.

"Wait, according to this, the Tianming Sect should have more than one magic weapon, right?" Zhou Qing thought of this.

"Of course." The dragon girl nodded.

“Although there are very few records from that era, little information about the Tianming Sect has been circulated.”

“But people in later generations also discovered some things from the remains of the Tianming Sect.”

"Except for the mountain gate ancestral land, the other important secret places in the outside world of Tianming Sect are suspected to be guarded by immortal weapons."

Zhou Qing was shocked. "If that's the case, then a secret place of the Tianming Sect is comparable to a hegemon today."

What is the most powerful Taoist school in history?

"That's true." The dragon girl nodded, "But there are only a few secret places like this in the entire Tianming Sect, and they are extremely difficult to find."

"Throughout history, only two secret places have been rediscovered. One is where Sima family found the treasure. When the other place was discovered by the world, it was already empty and there was nothing left."

"Who got the treasure in the secret place? Until today, no one knows. It has always been a mystery."

Zhou Qing thought thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then the Tianming Sect can't really be said to be completely destroyed."

"The people and forces that have obtained the will and treasures of the Tianming Sect can be considered the seeds of the Tianming Sect to some extent."

"That being said, no one acknowledges this identity, and no one wants to be associated with the Tianming Sect."

Zhou Qing was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he reacted immediately.

"Is it because of the sudden demise of the Tianming Sect?"

"That's right. The powerful Tianming Sect was destroyed overnight. It makes people feel cold and afraid of getting into trouble."

Zhou Qing was silent. Just from the clues discovered in later generations, one could get a glimpse of the glory of the Tianming Sect.

To destroy such a force is equivalent to destroying the aggregation of several top forces in the world overnight, including Xuandu Temple and the Academy of Saints.

And this is just their guess about the strength of the Tianming Sect. The Tianming Sect in history will only be stronger than this.

The secrets and horrors contained within are so great that they are unimaginable.

No one can withstand it.

"When can I get a magic weapon?" Finally, Zhou Qing made an envious sound.

After all, I am a divine descendant of the Tianming Sect. It’s not too much to ask you to inherit a divine weapon from the Tianming Sect, right?

In this age when destiny is crumbling, the orthodox destiny is here!

Ancestors of the Tianming Sect, please open your eyes.

While the two were talking, they came to the quiet room in Yunlong Pavilion. The dragon girl asked someone to serve tea and then said:

"I searched the Dragon Palace and found what you need."

The dragon girl lightly stroked the table with her left hand, and things fell out one by one.

"In addition to Taoism and martial arts, there are other things that make use of lifespan."

"oh?"

Zhou Qing was pleasantly surprised, it was indeed Yunjiang Dragon Palace, it was so powerful.

"Take a look."

"good."

Among the things that the Dragon Girl took out, there were books, jade slips, and even some thin paper made of unknown material.

"Life-eating pill?"

There was actually a recipe for the elixir. Zhou Qing became interested and took a closer look.

This pill is only suitable for cultivators below the Yin Shen True Blood level, but the refining requirements are extremely high, and several of the materials are Yin Shen divine materials.

There are also requirements for taking this pill. The life span must be sufficient, at least fifty years.

After taking the pill, the remaining life span is immediately reduced to only one year, and then one's own realm is immediately elevated to a higher level, but the level of cultivation cannot be improved any more throughout one's lifetime.

The upper limit of improvement is the realm of Manifestation of Sainthood and Cleansing of Marrow, and it is impossible to cross the barrier of Yin God’s True Blood.

The recipe has amazing effects, but it is really useless.

After taking the Life-Devouring Pill, you only have one year left to live. What can you do with that? And your cultivation level will never be able to improve for the rest of your life.

One year is also considered a lifetime, right? After just one look, Zhou Qing lost all interest in the Life Devouring Pill.

As expected, most of the things that utilize life span are crooked and extremely cruel.

He is not afraid of having his lifespan deducted, but it cannot affect his foundation and future, this is the bottom line.

The golden finger only lasts for this month, and he still has to live his life in the future.

But the fourth recipe is quite interesting.

Fate-defying pill.

This elixir does not consume the life of the person who takes it, but consumes the life of the person who makes the elixir.

Find various precious materials to refine this pill. After the medicinal materials are made into the pill, there is one last step. Only after this step can the pill be considered successful.

The alchemist uses the unique method recorded on the recipe of the Fate-Defying Pill to cultivate a mouthful of longevity blood. After the pill is formed, he spits the longevity blood onto the pill. Only then is the pill considered successful.

One mouthful of longevity blood means twenty years of life. When you nourish and spit out the longevity blood, you must be sincere without any reluctance in your heart. Otherwise, the pill cannot be refined.

In other words, the alchemist needs to sacrifice himself completely voluntarily.

The effect of the Fate-Defying Pill is to reverse the body's condition, achieving an alternative "rejuvenation" effect, while also slightly improving talent.

It doesn't make people live longer, nor does it really make them smaller.

The best age for warriors and monks to practice is between twelve and eighteen years old.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

The fate-defying pill can bring a person back to this period, allowing them to have a second golden age for cultivation and usher in a second spring in their life.

But you will remain the same age as before and you will never really be able to regain youth.

If Zhou Qing took this pill, he would still be twenty-two years old, but would have the plasticity and growth potential of a person between the ages of twelve and eighteen, and his talent would be slightly improved.

This pill is mostly used on mortals who want to practice but are very old. Of course, it is also useful for those who have already practiced.

Looking at it this way, this fate-defying pill seems quite ridiculous.

As an alchemist, I am willing to sacrifice twenty years of my life just to allow a mortal like you to return to the golden age of cultivation?

It can't make you a genius, it can just improve your talent a little.

Don't be too outrageous.

But when Zhou Qing saw the prescription, he was very happy.

What a good recipe, what a good recipe! Isn't it just twenty years of life? Take it, take it, I give it to you as a reward, fifty years, no need to change.

He was willing to sacrifice, completely voluntarily, without any pressure on him.

Let alone twenty years, if he could experience the feeling of cultivation from the age of twelve to eighteen, he would be willing to give up two hundred years of life! He would definitely vomit the blood of his life span, and even the immortals could not stop him.

In fact, if his golden finger was not refreshed once a month, Zhou Qing would not have consumed the [Wanshou Dao Fruit] so recklessly.

If it is refreshed every ten years, then when his natural life span is about to end in the future, this golden finger will be a lifesaver.

But once a month...

What life are you trying to save?

No matter how much he uses it now, it is impossible for him to use it up. When he really needs it when his life is about to end, it will only last for a month.

What's more, it is a non-unique cheat code.

Better to enjoy it in advance.

Apart from the four pill recipes, most of the remaining longevity techniques involve consuming one's lifespan to fight, including Taoist techniques and martial arts.

The minimum lifespan consumption is half a year, and the maximum is even fifty years!

The Taoist magic that consumes fifty years of life is enough to allow a sage monk who is not an extraordinary genius to fight against opponents of higher levels.

This is the horror of Kryptonian.

A cultivator who is not an extraordinary genius must be quite old to have cultivated to the realm of Manifestation of Sainthood. If he really burns fifty years of his life, he will probably die after the fight.

The Taoist magic that can grant a lifespan of fifty years is called Feixian.

The technique is just as its name suggests, once used one can achieve immortality.

The second is a martial art that consumes thirty years of one's lifespan. It is called the Six Life-Slaying Styles, which can kill both one's own life and the enemy's life.

Zhou Qing is very fond of these two Taoist martial arts.

Of course, Zhou Qing was also very satisfied with other life-saving techniques and decided to take a look at and learn them all.

When facing an enemy during this month, he can decide which life-burning technique to use based on the enemy's level.

New to bone refining?

I'm going to play a three-year lifespan game with you, do you want to play with me? If not, I'm going to play a three-year game, but you'll lose all your lifespan!

In addition to the lifespan fighting technique, there are two other methods that surprised Zhou Qing even more.

"The Life-Nourishing Instrument", "The Martial Arts of Resting Life".

"Life-Nourishing Instrument" talks about the method of using one's lifespan to cultivate an instrument.

Life span is the foundation of human beings and the basis of vital energy.

Using life-enhancing instruments not only has unparalleled effects, but also deepens the connection between people and instruments, making them more like controlling them with their arms and minds connected, thus unleashing greater power.

"Xiu Ming Martial Arts" is a fragment of martial arts that can use lifespan to assist in the practice of cultivation and accelerate the accumulation of small realms in martial arts.

It is not like Lu Qingmo's "Sacrifice One's Life to Open the Way" which is a method of forcibly breaking through the barrier. This method only works in daily practice.

It just consumes your lifespan.

Furthermore, if you were to practice normally using the time that your life span represents, the benefits you would gain would definitely be greater than if you used your life to practice.

With normal practice, you can break through a realm in five years, but if you take this unorthodox path, it will take at least twenty years of your life to break through a realm, and the loss is very large.

Cultivating with your life is about the present, about becoming strong in a short period of time, but it will deprive you of your future.

It can be seen that any method related to longevity is full of evil and will not be used by righteous people.

There is also a method here that uses one's lifespan to force a breakthrough, but Zhou Qing naturally won't take it.

But Zhou Qing still had some doubts about this method of cultivating longevity.

"Will using lifespan to help speed up cultivation have any impact on the foundation?"

The Dragon Girl had been looking at Zhou Qing quietly before. When she heard his question, she answered:

"This kind of cultivation method is equivalent to treating life as a spiritual plant, or even using it to cultivate a divine object. It will not damage the foundation."

"However, life span is the foundation of human beings after all. If it is burned, it will damage the vitality. This is certain. Various treasures are needed to replenish the vitality."

"Besides, it's not worth it to do this. This method is only suitable for those who are desperate and need to improve their cultivation in a short period of time."

"And this life-saving martial art is somewhat special. You should have noticed that it is only a fragment. This is the martial art that my father got."

"Oh? What did Senior Long Jun get?"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, this thing must have a great origin.

"Yes, and this martial art did not have the effect of using lifespan to assist cultivation at the beginning. My father deduced that it was originally a martial art that cut off lifespan and stopped the enemy's life. Anyone who was hit by the martial art for the first time would have their lifespan cut off."

"My father said that when this martial art is complete, it should be very complicated and may be related to the Tianming Sect."

Zhou Qing didn't expect to hear this name again.

The Dragon Girl explained: "But it was too incomplete to exert its original power and was difficult to be repaired. It was transformed by the masters in the Dragon Palace and barely became what it is today."

"From killing the enemy's lifespan, it has become killing one's own lifespan, with the added effect of accelerating cultivation."

"And the effect of accelerated training is not very good, because this martial art itself is most effective when it is performed for the first time. Resting one's own life is always the same goal, so after performing it a few times, the effect of accelerated training will reach its limit."

From a normal perspective, this martial art has been completely ruined.

How terrifying it is to give orders to kill the enemy, but now it has turned into giving orders to kill one's own life, and the effect is not good.

But Zhou Qing's eyes were bright. What a good method! No matter whether the effect is good or not, it is useful.

It not only speeds up cultivation, but also will not damage the foundation and affect the future. There is no better method in the world than this.

The effect was not good and there was a problem of upper limit, but Zhou Qing accepted it easily.

It's just a fragment of martial arts that has evolved reluctantly, so what else do you want?

As for damaging your vitality?

Only by burning one's own life span will one lose vital energy. What Zhou Qing burned was the [Eternal Longevity Fruit]. His own life span had already solidified, so this vital energy could not harm him.

Besides, you and the golden finger of [Wanshou Daoguo] are talking about damaging vitality ?

It has been 7 years since we broke up, but you are still the one who can affect my emotions.

I still have our photos and remember your birthday. I have had the urge to look for you countless times, but I held back.

I won’t block you in this message because I will be on your forever blacklist, but I love you, from the past to now, I have loved you for eight years.

Our story is complicated, our feelings are tormenting, and no one in the world can understand us anymore.

Give me a monthly ticket and I will tell you a heart-shaking, poetic and earth-shaking love story that spans five thousand years of history.
