"Still no movement."
Wang Chen waited and waited, but still there was no news. It seemed that no one in the inner and outer gates noticed their little thoughts.
This kind of silence made him feel uneasy.
It's too quiet.
"Should we take a break for a while?"
The inner sect elders also felt uneasy. This was different from what they had imagined. There was no sense of being behind the scenes. Instead, it was like groping in the dark like a blind man, with no idea of what the other party was thinking.
"Are you scared?!"
Wang Chen said bluntly.
“…”
silent,
Yes, I'm scared.
If it wasn't too dangerous to be transferred outside, they wouldn't want to go ahead. The young sect leader was definitely not someone who was easy to get along with.
"It would be better if we move faster, turn over our past achievements, and get a position to stay behind like Elder Yaolu."
As the mastermind among the five, Wang Chen still has some courage. He knows that he cannot delay for long and must resolve the issue as soon as possible.
At this time, they hoped that all parties would not notice the problem and allow them to complete the layout quietly.
It really doesn't work. If you stick your head out, you'll get hurt. It's better to end it early.
“Clatter…”
The five of them had reached an agreement, but no further action was taken.
A murderous wind whistled out, the armor was grim, and the darkness of the place was broken. The faces of the five inner sect elders suddenly turned ugly.
"Wang Chen and other inner sect elders have neglected their authority and attacked others. From today on, they will be transferred to the border areas and will not be allowed to return unless they have made great achievements."
The person who came was the Lord of Law Enforcement Hall. He was powerful and more importantly, he came under the order of the Lord of the Immortal Sect, so no one dared to slack off.
"How could this happen..."
Wang Chen and others were icy cold all over. If they didn't move, it would be fine. But if they moved, they would be as powerful as thunder.
This node is so accurate.
If they had taken the third and fourth steps and stirred up trouble, they would still have a chance to survive. But now they were cut off at the second step and there was no way they could survive at all.
Mr. Chen, he has been cleared.
Their guilt has been established, and the evidence is irrefutable, without a trace of injustice.
"Everyone, please plead guilty."
The Lord of Law Enforcement said in a cold voice.
"I plead guilty."
Wang Chen and the other four were trembling with fear at the thought of being sent to a dangerous place, but they had to go since the imperial edict had come down.
The sky is clear, and the Immortal Sect remains stable. Even if the border areas are in turmoil again, the five overlords still have the confidence to sit back and watch what happens.
Mr. Chen did not have the ambition to rule the world. He guarded his own one-third acre of land and lived a comfortable life in his small medicine house.
In the setting sun, he and Luzhu sat on the steps of the Longxing Palace, watching the cranes dancing in the sky and the misty smoke that seemed like all the phenomena in the sky.
He also entered the medicine garden, weeding and fertilizing, and saw the alchemy apprentices working in groups of three or four, thinking in distress, and felt that it was great to be young.
The medicine house was slightly expanded, and he also worked as a porter without being discovered. It was a very interesting experience.
Regardless of the years, time passes by.
This kind of life was wonderful, but when Lu Zhu's complexion gradually weakened, he counted carefully and realized that twenty-two years had passed in a daze.
"At that time, you said you wanted to stay in the medicine house with me. I thought it was a beautiful love talk. I didn't expect it to actually come true. I was a little... secretly happy."
Luzhu could feel that the vitality was slipping away from her body bit by bit and that her youth was slipping away. However, she did not feel the slightest bit of panic and was extremely peaceful and contented in her heart.
Life is like this, how can you force it? She has already surpassed millions of her peers.
"How could I lie?"
Mr. Chen knew very early on that the people around him had a limited lifespan, so he was extremely cautious about details and promises, and once he agreed to something, he would not do it perfunctorily.
"It's just that the time is too short."
A day can be long, but it can also be short. Luzhu felt peaceful and thought a day was very short. She sighed softly, then smiled and said, "I am a little greedy."
She was extremely lucky. She met Mr. Chen when she was young, and they stayed together all the way until their old age.
During that period, there were no quarrels or arguments. It was truly a match made in heaven.
It's just too good to be true. I feel a sense of loss when I think about its extinction.
"Be greedy, I'm happy."
Mr. Chen hopes that the people he cares about can cherish their lives and live as long as possible so that he will feel less lonely.
"I'll try my best to live a few more years."
Lu Zhu was conscious of her health preservation. She avoided all kinds of martial arts exercises that might harm her life, just to live a few more years.
She was not simply cherishing her life, but wanted to accompany Mr. Chen for a while longer.
"You have to live to be at least three hundred years old."
Mr. Chen spoke his true feelings. He didn't know what Luzhu's fate would be and whether she could wait for the opportunity.
However, he must seize the 300-year limit of the Foundation Establishment Stage’s lifespan.
"Three hundred years old, I'm afraid I can't do it."
Luzhu wrinkled her nose, feeling a little distressed. She was at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and if she didn't reach perfection, she wouldn't be able to live to be three hundred years old.
Even among those who have reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage, there are only a few who can live to be three hundred years old.
One must be a high-ranking member of the Immortal Sect who is good at health preservation, such as the former elder of Yaolu and Mr. Shen, to have a 30% chance of success.
"If I say yes, then yes."
Mr. Chen was rarely strong. He was not sure about other things, but he had to make up for Lu Zhu's 300 years of life.
"Okay, okay, sure."
Luzhu just smiled. Although he was reluctant, she knew that fate was inevitable and some things were set and could not be changed.
Time will give an answer.
…
Half a day later, in the alchemy room.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
Chen Sheng sealed the door with a serious look on his face. He waved his hand, the storage bag opened, and jade boxes fell to the ground one by one.
In the jade box, there were precious second-level spiritual herbs sealed up, stacked up layer by layer, about four feet high, which was extremely spectacular.
There is something wrong with Luzhu's vitality and she is getting old. He wants to refine the Turtle and Snake Longevity Pill today to extend her life for another 30 years.
“Buzz…”
In a flash, he had thought a lot, until the rainbow trout furnace made a humming sound, cutting off his distracting thoughts, he broke the jade boxes one by one and put the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace.
The flame burns neither fast nor slow.
Chen Sheng's alchemy skills are at the top level in the border area. He can refine hundreds of spiritual herbs with ease.
Wisps of green smoke floated out from the lid of the furnace, which were the impurities being burned and vaporized.
When the mental power is released, one can see the sky and earth inside the furnace is red, with all kinds of transparent and bright medicinal liquids floating in the air, flashing bright light.
When the pharmacological effects were combined, Mr. Chen performed a secret alchemy technique, which was passed down from Mr. Shen.
This was his first time using it, but after years of study, he had become quite proficient at it.
"clang……"
Chen Sheng made dozens of hand gestures in a row, and finally concentrated them into one, and hit the rainbow trout cauldron heavily.
Waves of sound spread out like ripples in the air within the furnace, containing an extremely bright and vivid fluctuation.
Hundreds of herbal liquids were shaken by it, slightly boiled, and then separated into two layers, the upper layer was as clear as water, and when the flame burned it, it immediately turned into water vapor and dissipated.
The lower layer was viscous, like liquid metal that was immortal and indestructible. After a period of entanglement, it actually melted two or three percent of the pharmacology.
Creation suddenly comes into being and mystery becomes apparent.
Chen Sheng's state of mind was extremely stable. His mental strength was extended, constantly pushing forward the smelting of various pharmacological principles. There were nine-colored divine lights fluttering around, and fragrant and precious auras were continuously produced.
"call……"
Time passes by little by little.
The pharmacology burned by the pill fire was melted into the prototype of a precious pill, which gradually became rounder, and its medicinal properties became more and more magical.
At a certain moment, the Turtle and Snake Longevity Pill was successfully refined.
"boom"
A surge of vitality rose up from the Longxing Hall into the sky, like a towering Jianmu tree, eye-catching and dazzling.
The magical herbs around the medicine house grew wildly, and the air was filled with a clear and natural feeling that was extremely magical.
"Whoosh"
"The medicine house is a restricted area, no one is allowed to peek in."
You Ye knew the inside story. When he saw an outsider coming, even though the other party was an elder of the Immortal Sect, he drew his sword and blocked the way to prevent him from spying.
"What good stuff did you make? Is it a longevity pill?"
Elder Mu Feng pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He had guessed that the medicine house had refined a longevity pill.
Moreover, this longevity pill is definitely not an ordinary item. Even a cultivator like him who is at the Foundation Establishment stage can feel it is beneficial to his blood and energy.
"No comment."
Youye said coldly.
This is a medicine house, it has its own rules, and no one will speak carelessly just to curry favor with others.
"You are too arrogant, young man."
Elder Mu Feng was somewhat displeased. After all, he was an elder of an immortal sect and was treated with courtesy wherever he went.
Although Jin Chao was a bit reckless, his status was there, so You Ye, the alchemist of the medicine house, had to give him some face.
"You are too arrogant."
A calm voice came from the alchemy room, and then Chen Sheng appeared. In his hand, he held a precious pill steadily. His eyes were calm, but there was a hint of sharpness, which made people dare not be presumptuous.
Coming uninvited and making noise outside the palace is not a good guest.
"Second-level longevity pill?! Fellow Daoist, I wonder…"
Elder Mu Feng had very sharp eyes and could tell the quality of the Turtle Snake Longevity Pill at a glance. However, facing Chen Sheng, he did not dare to be tough as he could see that the other party was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator and must not be insulted lightly.
"Please go back."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chen Sheng. In order to make this Turtle Snake Longevity Pill, he had planned for decades and used a lot of favors to finally collect all the spiritual herbs.
It is then carefully refined, and the effort put into it is definitely not small.
The only person who could be treated like this by him was someone close to him; an outsider was obviously not qualified.
“I’m willing to pay a huge price.”
Elder Mu Feng was anxious. He had his reasons for being so reckless.
He is old both physically and mentally and won't live for many more years. When he sees a high-grade longevity elixir, he will rush to grab it.
This is indeed a true portrayal of the old masters of the immortal way. In order to prolong their lives, they often don't care much about their face and are willing to spend a lot of money.
"Go back."
Mr. Chen flicked his sleeves and a strong wind blew, causing the grass and trees to sway.
Elder Mu Feng saw Chen Sheng’s determination, sighed, and finally gave up pestering him and left reluctantly.
"The Medicine House refined a second-level longevity pill?!"
"Yes, Elder Mu Feng saw it with his own eyes."
“Only a second-level alchemist, the elder of Yaolu who controls a large amount of spiritual herbs, can make it.”
"Why is he refining the longevity elixir? Is his time of death approaching?"
The soaring momentum of the pill finally caused some ripples.
Then, with Elder Mu Feng’s personal testimony, all the cultivators in the Immortal Sect knew that Elder Yaolu in the outer sect had refined a high-level longevity pill, which was extremely amazing.
"The Turtle Snake Longevity Pill will extend your life by thirty years."
At this time, Chen Sheng stood in front of Lu Zhu, holding a precious pill in his hand, and presented it to her with a peaceful and serene look like the Buddha smiling at a flower.
There weren't too many words, nor too much talking, it was very calm, I just wanted to be attentive to the other person.
"When did you start preparing?"
Luzhu's heart trembled a few times. If Chen Sheng hadn't told her, how could she not know that refining an elixir that could extend one's life by thirty years would require a lot of mental and material resources, which were absolutely complicated and could not be easily gathered overnight.
How could she have deserved such a good man to treat her so well?
"I've been preparing since I came back from Qingping Valley."
Mr. Chen told the truth.
The reason he came back from the front line was to extend Lu Zhu's life. If he made plans early, he could at least have fewer regrets.
"No wonder you disappear sometimes, it turns out you go to collect spiritual herbs."
Only then did Lu Zhu realize that Chen Sheng had occasionally disappeared during the 27 years since he returned from the front lines. She originally thought that he had disappeared because of his duty.
No, it's an important matter, but it's her business.
"Here, eat it now."
Chen Sheng brought the Turtle and Snake Longevity Pill closer. Its faint fragrance acted on the mind and body, and was a hundred times more attractive than the desire for food and drink.
"don't want……"
However, Luzhu shook her head and refused to take it.
"Let me keep it for myself?"
Having been married for nearly two hundred years, Mr. Chen immediately guessed what the woman was thinking. He patted her head and said, "Be good, I promise to live longer than you."
His journey is destined to be long, and it is precisely because of loneliness that he wants the people around him to live longer.
"real?"
Luzhu hesitated.
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
Mr. Chen's repeated assurances finally had an effect.
"good."
Luzhu still ate the turtle and snake longevity pill.
If Mr. Chen could live longer, but she died first, leaving her Taoist partner alone, that would be a sin.
…
The matter of the Turtle Snake Longevity Pill alarmed even the young sect leader on Yiyuan Peak.
He came down the mountain, his figure was so vague, like a god, that outsiders could not see him at all. In a flash, he arrived at the medicine house.
"Er Gou..."
Mr. Chen's eyes blurred and he saw a familiar figure. A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Although the two of them are from the same immortal sect, they are in different positions and have met only a few times.
Every time I see it, I am always surprised.
"Brother Sheng, how far have you come?"
Chen Ergou's eyes flickered with a hint of anxiety. Lifespan is a cultivator's greatest enemy, and the Foundation Establishment Stage is too weak after all.
"What? You've got it wrong. The longevity pill is for Luzhu."
Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. He smiled bitterly and explained it clearly to Chen Ergou.
He is in good condition and does not need any life extension. He can live a long life.
"What about you? I'll go to the treasury and find you something to prolong your life."
However, Chen Ergou didn't think that Chen Sheng could live long. There was a limit to the life of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. He was the only one who had truly glimpsed a glimpse of the potential for longevity.
Jindan Zhenren, who lives to be eight hundred years old, is absolutely qualified to take care of his brothers.
"No, my life span is fine."
Mr. Chen refused.
This was the first time he had encountered such a life-threatening situation. He felt both amused and touched.
"Is that really okay?"
Chen Ergou said worriedly.
"That's no problem."
Mr. Chen looked very serious and even promised that if he really couldn't hold on, he would ask for life-extending items. Only then did Chen Ergou give up.
The two talked for a while.
Then, Chen Ergou told a piece of news, saying: "Zhao Tianyang died in the battle."
The two were not familiar with each other and had only met each other a few times at the beginning. He was not too sad, but just felt a sense of regret for the ruthless fate.
"Of the group of people who entered the Immortal Sect together, only four of us are left."
Mr. Chen counted on his fingers and could easily name the four people.
He, Chen Ergou, Wu Taisheng, and Liu Shao.
Out of the hundreds of people in the same group, only four were left.
"When the waves wash away the sand, only a few people can remain."
The two looked at each other and saw the word "take care" in each other's eyes.
