Chapter 35
Jitang wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Can Su Qianchen hold on until the longevity elixir is refined?
She didn't have the heart to ask, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you."
Tan Qingyue took a deep breath and suppressed her sobs, "Good sister!"
In comparison, Su Jinzhou is more rational and calm.
"Qian Chen needs help here, so you don't need to go." He said to Tan Qingyue, "Jitang and I can go."
Tan Qingyue hesitated. She knew Su Jinzhou meant well. If Su Qianchen didn't get the longevity elixir, then at least she could be with him in his final moments. This would be good for both her and Su Qianchen.
"But the longevity pill..."
Ji Tang squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely find the herbs needed for the longevity pill as soon as possible!"
Tan Qingyue's eyes were red. "Well, your cultivation is higher than mine. If you can't find it, then I will be even more helpless. I'm relieved if you go."
"But the Longevity Pill is already a banned drug in the world of cultivation. Once we get the ingredients, who should we find to refine it?"
She placed her hopes on Su Jinzhou, "Can I ask for help from Master Wu Shu?"
Ji Tang: "Master is not stubborn and is easy to talk to. As long as I explain the reason clearly, Master will not refuse. Leave it to me!"
Tan Qingyue: "Master?" She asked in surprise, "Did Su Xuanzong agree to accept you as a disciple?"
Ji Tang: "Well, not long after I started my retreat, my master went to report to the Sect Master."
Tan Qingyue: "That's great. Su Xuanzong doesn't care about race or origin. It's a good place to go. It will be your home in the future."
The Nightmare Clan is born with nightmare power and is much more talented than human cultivators.
Nightmares are not inferior to humans; instead, they have a significant advantage in cultivation. Like demons and monsters, they find it easier to cultivate than humans.
However, because of their characteristic of feeding on nightmares, they are deeply prejudiced by other races. This prejudice also occurs among demons and monsters.
Nightmares, demons, and monsters look down on human cultivators, and human cultivators also hate them.
Not only that, the three tribes of nightmares, demons and monsters are not convinced of each other. If they were not separated by long distances, it is hard to say how frequent the friction would be.
Perhaps Jitang has amnesia and has never felt a sense of belonging to any place - the same is true in the Nightmare Clan.
The reason why she stayed in Suxuanzong was ultimately because Su Jinzhou and Wushu Zhenren were there. Rather than calling it a home, her feeling towards Suxuanzong was more like a place to stay.
Tan Qingyue: "Why don't you stay in the palace for one night and leave tomorrow?"
She held out hope for the longevity elixir, but it was still an unknown. Su Jinzhou had finally come out of seclusion to see his brother, and it was only right that the two brothers could have a conversation.
Su Jinzhou knew what she was thinking. "If you have anything to say, come back and tell us. We'll set off now."
His words gave Tan Qingyue greater hope.
At the same time, a notification came from outside the hall, saying that the current prince had arrived.
Tan Qingyue covered it up with a nightmare and imitated Su Qianchen's tone: "Spread it."
Only the prince entered the hall.
He also saw Jitang and Su Jinzhou.
The prince saluted Tan Qingyue.
Tan Qingyue: "Huai'er, come here and meet Master Bianjian and Master Jitang."
The prince had never heard of Jitang, but he was familiar with the word "border".
He had known since childhood that there was a "Border Prince" who had embarked on the path of cultivation. He didn't dare address him by his royal status. He was usually aloof, but today he was cautious. He saluted respectfully and said, "Master Border, Master Jitang."
The current status of Sujia Kingdom in Chenwuzhou is largely due to the title of "Border Immortal". Even if the Immortal is not in charge of Sujia Kingdom, he can still intimidate other countries.
After staying on the boat for a long time away from the palace, I no longer care much about these etiquette and rules.
He raised his hand slightly, and the prince was lifted up by an invisible force, his eyes lowered respectfully, full of wonder and longing.
The prince heard the superior say, "In terms of seniority, this is your nephew, right?"
The voice was lively and pleasant. Judging from the voice alone, the age should be seventeen or eighteen years old.
There was no tone of an elder or a superior in her voice. Logically, she should be about the same age as him, but because she spoke to the Border Master in a very natural and familiar manner, the prince did not dare to look up.
He soon heard the border real person reply: "That's right."
Bianjian Zhenren's voice was gentle and low, very different from the voices of his fathers. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the same age as the prince. The voice of Mr. Qianqian instantly made the prince relax a lot.
He raised his head slightly.
When he saw the two figures of Yuebai and Ziyuanse, even the prince, who had seen countless beauties, was stunned on the spot.
What the imperial city has the most is talented men and beautiful women. He has seen many handsome men and beautiful women, but none of them can compare with the two in front of him.
Not only are their appearances very different, but he feels the biggest difference is in their temperaments.
People who practice Taoism absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all year round, and the immortal appearance they develop through practice is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The prince only glanced at Jitang once and didn't dare to look again.
Jitang didn't act like an elder at all. Her eyes were clear and filled with curiosity and smile. She was clearly a pretty young girl.
The prince couldn't imagine that the owner of these eyes was at least several decades older than him.
She has a unique temperament, carrying some of the elegant and ethereal aura of the border real people, but more of the captivating charm. She is extremely beautiful, and the two contradictory and extreme temperaments merged in one person are particularly attractive.
That was it. The prince really didn’t dare to look anymore.
Tan Qingyue: "This is Lao Liu's late-born son, who came of age this year. His name is Su Qinhuai."
Jitang praised: "It's very cute."
The prince had heard many kind words, but this was the first time he had heard someone praise him for being adorable. His face flushed slightly, "Thank you, thank you, Master Jitang."
Ji Tang waved his hand: "It's too strange, just call me aunt."
The prince looked at Su Jinzhou and saw Su Jinzhou smiling and nodding. He always felt that there was some indulgence in this smile.
Ji Tang stood up and said, "Okay, Huai Huai must have something to ask you, so my brother and I will leave first."
Before Su Qinhuai could recover from the nickname, he heard the two of them leaving. He hurriedly said, "I'm fine, there's no rush!"
Jitang smiled: "Then we should go too."
Tan Qingyue asked him to be patient, and after they left, she said, "If you want to see me, you can see me again later."
Su Qinhuai: "Yes."
Tan Qingyue rubbed her aching temples and said, "Let's get down to business."

Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou summoned their swords.
She bent down and tapped the blade of Su Jinzhou's sword. "It's been a while, Zhou Zhou."
Su Zhouzhou made a sound of sword sound.
The two came to Wuhai Wharf, a seaside wharf frequently visited by cultivators.
To go from Chenwuzhou to Haihezhou, one needs to take a sea dragon boat across the Wind and Thunder Sea. Cultivators whose cultivation level is not yet at the Golden Core stage cannot directly fly their swords across the Wind and Thunder Sea. They can only rely on the defensive formation constructed by the powerful on the sea dragon boat and travel by sea.
They handed in spirit stones at the dock to board the ship, and passed through five different entrances before entering the deck.
There are different wooden signs hanging at the entrance, pointing to the five largest offshore islands in Haihezhou.
Haihezhou has numerous islands that crisscross each other. The five largest islands on the sea serve as connecting points, connecting tens of thousands of small islands to form a huge maritime city-state.
Spring comes very early in Haihezhou, the climate is warm and humid, there is plenty of sunlight, and a wide variety of herbs and plants grow very lushly.
Jitang has done some research on alchemy. The medicinal herb grown in Haihezhou - Salt Blowing Oriole, is one of the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the longevity pill.
The longevity pill is a banned drug, but the recipe has been passed down and is no longer a secret.
The world of cultivation is vast and boundless. It's home to both sects and independent cultivators, making it impossible to manage them all. While factions can be managed in a unified way, independent cultivators can only rely on their own initiative. Therefore, it's possible that longevity pills are still in circulation, but without knowing the channels, they're incredibly difficult to find.
If you don’t expect to get a finished product, you can only start with the medicinal materials.
Jitang found the patrolling crew member outside the entrance and stuffed two bags of spirit stones into his arms without saying a word.
She smiled widely: "Friends."
The crew member suddenly didn't know whether to look at the heavy spirit stone in his arms or Ji Tang.
Between money and beauty, the crew chose the latter.
"What's the matter?"
Ji Tang, with a good-tempered demeanor, cupped his fists towards him and asked quietly, "Fellow Daoist, I'm looking for a medicinal herb, but I don't know which island I can find it on, so I'd like to ask for your advice."
Crew member: "What medicinal herbs are you looking for?"
Jitang: "Copper Yinghua."
The crew looked at her with a hint of inquiry, "Tong Yinghua..."
Without saying a word, Ji Tang stuffed two more bags of spirit stones into the crew's arms.
The crew member, holding four bags full of spirit stones, said directly, "Go to the entrance of Haijinyunjian Island."
Ji Tang was slightly stunned.
The island at the end of the sea and between the clouds, this is also the place where her parents engraved her natal guardian magic weapon.
She clasped her fists again and said, "Thank you very much, fellow Taoist."
The two entered from the entrance of Haijinyunjian Island, paid an additional fee, and walked into the corridor.
Su Jinzhou then asked, "What kind of medicinal herb is Tongyinghua?"
Ji Tang: "It is one of the raw materials for refining the poison-removing powder. Its growth environment is exactly the same as that of the salt-blowing warbler."
If she went up and asked Yan Chuying, it would be better for her to just ask her where to buy the longevity pill.
Su Jinzhou raised the corner of his lips and immediately understood.
The entrance to Haijinyunjian Island is located on the far right of the five entrances.
On the left side of the corridor is a corridor leading to another entrance, which is not very interesting. On the right side, you can see the endless blue sea.
The waves hit the dragon boat again and again, and the salty and humid sea breeze blew on the face.
The dock was very lively. In addition, there were many cultivators with cultivation bases above the Jindan stage flying on swords, flying over the sea dragon boats, attracting the envious gazes of many cultivators.
Walking down the corridor, they came onto the deck.
Although the name of the sea dragon boat has the word "boat" in it, its overall area is much larger than that of a giant sea ship and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The deck is divided into five areas, corresponding to the five entrances, and each area is separated by iron chains.
The deck was as lively as the dock. If you didn't look at the blue sea around it, you would have thought you were in a bustling cultivation market.
This was not Jitang's first time riding on a sea dragon boat. She stopped a young monk in the crowd, threw him a small piece of spirit stone fragment, and came back with two porcelain bottles.
"Brother, would you like to try it?"
Su Jinzhou took a bottle, opened it and smelled it. "Mint?"
Ji Tang smiled and said, "It's a small snack made from mint spiritual grass. It contains very, very little spiritual energy."
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou looked at her and showed a little bit of the nail on her little finger, and couldn't help laughing.
The sea breeze blew up Jitang's dress and long hair. She smiled brightly, and her eyes were as beautiful as the sparkling light on the sea.
Su Jinzhou's gaze stopped at the side of her face, and he really wanted to raise his hand to push the long hair that covered her chin behind her ear.
"Senior Brother?"
"Um."
Su Jinzhou stepped forward and was about to raise his hand when Ji Tang suddenly bumped into his arms.
He changed his one hand into two and held Jitang's shoulders.
The junior sister in his arms was petite. Su Jinzhou was at a loss for a moment and her body became stiff.
"Sorry, sorry, did it hurt you?"
Su Jinzhou looked up from above Jitang's head and saw a monk with his hands clasped together, apologizing continuously.
