It turns out that although the gods gained immortality after becoming immortals, they did not regain their youth.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of the universe, and even gods cannot defy them. The "immortality" in immortality refers to not continuing to age, not returning to youth and not appearing old.
The most that an immortal can do is freeze himself at a certain point. He can stop aging, getting sick, and dying, and achieve immortality, but he cannot go against the flow of time and restore his youth.
It can be said that once a mortal becomes an immortal, his appearance will be frozen at the moment of his becoming an immortal. You can follow the laws to make your appearance gradually age, and of course you still won't die of illness, but you cannot go against the laws of the Zhoutian and restore yourself to youth.
There are not many people as perverted as Yang Jian and Nezha who can achieve sainthood in their physical bodies at a young age.
For ordinary mortals to become immortals, they have to practice diligently for decades or even hundreds of years to have even a slight chance. Didn’t you see that Jiang Ziya was in his seventies or eighties but still couldn’t become an immortal?
After achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven, they maintained this appearance, so it is not unreasonable that most of the portraits of gods and immortals worshipped by the people are images of old men and old women.
Of course, after becoming an immortal, you can change your appearance at will, especially in front of mortals. Others will see you as you want.
But no matter how you transform, your essential appearance cannot be changed. In the eyes of the gods of the same level, you will still be exposed. Whether you are an old man or an old woman, you will still be an old man or an old woman.
In the past, when immortals and mortals were communicating with each other, these old men and women could occasionally go to the mortal world to show off and satisfy their vanity.
But now, with immortals and mortals separated, there are immortals everywhere, who doesn't know who? Even the illusion is useless, it will make other immortals think you are pretending to be young.
But who wouldn't want to look younger and prettier? Especially since the Celestial Court granted immortals the right to marry and have children to maintain their population, it's hard to bear to see such a face every day.
After the Heavenly Court opened its policy, Tieguai Li felt a little lonely and isolated, especially when he saw Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu showing their affection every day, which made him want to find a partner.
However, although in the eyes of a normal person like Yu Wuwei, Tieguai Li's image is much better than Han Zhongli, objectively speaking, he is really not that good, and he is also a cripple.
Tieguai Li was also a little embarrassed, thinking that since he couldn't see any mortals anymore, he could stop researching the medicine for his injury. Even if he developed a great medicine, it would be useless in the Heavenly Palace, right?
This was just the time he needed to research some other "medicines", so the Rejuvenating Pill was put on Tieguai Li's research agenda.
He had a good idea. First of all, after developing this elixir, he could look younger and more competitive in appearance.
Secondly, no woman doesn't care about her appearance, even goddesses are the same. This thing can also be used to please the opposite sex. As long as this function is realized, it will definitely be popular!
The ideal of cooking is very rich, but the reality is very skinny. He has been studying for nearly a hundred years, but has only achieved such little results.
Twenty years was a mere trifle compared to the immortal ages of a god. As the Medicine King, revered by the mortal world, it was truly shameful for him to have come up with such a thing after a century of research. Tieguai Li couldn't shamelessly tell the other gods about it.
It's also Tieguai Li's fault that he is a man and doesn't understand how much women value appearance.
If he dared to take this thing out, let alone twenty years, even in two years it would be snatched up by many immortals and old ladies. Didn't you see them always going to the mortal world to show off when they had nothing to do? Even if it was just to satisfy their love of beauty for a while, it would be fine!
Since it can only last for twenty years, just take another one after twenty years!
After listening to Tieguai Li's simple introduction, Yu Wuwei also understood that becoming an immortal does not mean that one can regain youth, and immortals are not omnipotent. Not even immortals can reverse birth, aging, sickness and death.
Of course, this only applies to the gods with infinite lifespans. It is a different story for mortals.
The only thing that gods cannot disobey is their own laws or those of the same level, just as mortals cannot resist the birth, aging, sickness and death of mortals.
But it’s different at different levels.
The gods cannot restore youth to immortals, but they can perform many miracles on mortals of a lower level.
Just like Yu Chenhuo's illness, normally in the mortal world, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would not be able to save him. However, he was cured by the earth fairy fruit, fairy stone, fairy vegetable and fairy wine.
The most essential difference between immortals and mortals lies in vitality and lifespan. Anything with some immortal energy will have the function of increasing lifespan, which directly supplements the vitality of mortals, increases their lifespan, and restores them to normal.
Yu Chenhuo did not return to his former youth, but his time to death from illness was prolonged.
According to the lifespan of ordinary people, if Yu Chenhuo's lifespan is one hundred years, then the previous Yu Chenhuo would be equivalent to being over ninety years old, and about to die.
Now Yu Chenhuo's lifespan has been forcibly increased, which has extended the time from his death by several decades. He is now equivalent to being in his fifties or sixties, and of course his health is better.
Of course, the principle behind the anti-aging elixir researched by Tieguai Li is not as simple as the rejuvenation of mortals. For mortals, injecting vitality and enhancing lifespan is rejuvenation, but this is useless for immortals.
The life span of immortals is infinite, and their vitality is endless. Tieguai Li had no intention of injecting a lot of vitality into the anti-aging pill.
This kind of medicine simply maintains the vitality of the skin, making it as delicate, smooth and radiant as when it was young. Its only effect is to restore the appearance of youth.
Even if eaten by mortals, it has no other effect. It simply restores the youthfulness of the appearance and keeps it unchanged. The internal body functions will not change much. At most, because it is an elixir, it carries a trace of immortal energy and slightly increases the lifespan of mortals.
However, for the gods, this is completely sufficient. As for internal functions and lifespan, they are gods themselves, so their functions are definitely the best and their lifespan is endless. What's the use of those fancy functions?
Yu Wuwei was excited, but he tried to remain calm on the surface. He said, "My appearance has always been youthful. This pill is really useless to me! To be honest, this thing is even less effective on a mortal than on a god!"
Tieguai Li scratched his head awkwardly and replied with an embarrassed look, "What the Immortal said is true. Even if this thing is diluted into ten parts for a mortal, each part is enough to make a person young for a lifetime. But it is really useless for an immortal like the Immortal! Unfortunately, I really don't have anything else to offer right now."
Oh shit, can it be diluted? I want it, I want it, I want it, important things should be said three times!
