Chapter 335 Life Begins and Ends
"Why does it seem to have little effect, right?" Immortal Jicheng smiled and raised Ximen Yue's question.
Ximen Yue quickly bowed her head and apologized.
The Immortal Master Jicheng waved his hand and said, "The Tiandu Huayu Pill can give you a lifespan of 800 years. The Changsheng Fruit can give you a lifespan of 500 years. The Wangsheng Longevity Fruit can give you a lifespan of 300 years."
"They are all extremely rare treasures. Among the countless treasures I have seen in the past 3,612 years, the value of these few is definitely among the best."
"Now, all of them have benefited a dying man like me."
The Immortal Master Jicheng said with some self-mockery.
"Together, they can increase the lifespan of an ordinary monk by 1,600 years."
"But when used on me..."
"Hey, guess what the effect is?"
The Immortal Master Jicheng asked.
Seeing that Immortal Master Jicheng seemed to be quite approachable at this time, Han Yi became a little bolder.
He was the first to answer: "Five hundred years?"
The Immortal Master Jicheng chuckled and shook his head repeatedly.
"Two hundred years?" Ximen Yue guessed.
The Immortal Master Jicheng still looked far away.
"Twenty years?" Li Fan suddenly spoke at this time.
The guessed number was a bit outrageous, causing Han Yi and Ximen Yue to look at him.
"Although you are very brave, you still overestimate yourself!" Jicheng Immortal Venerable laughed, stretched out his right hand, and raised a finger.
"ten years."
“That’s the deadline I can get.”
"This is the result after taking into account the life-extending treasures donated by other monks."
The Immortal Master Jicheng spoke with a deep voice and a smile.
However, Li Fan and the others were all shocked when they heard this.
"How could this be?" Ximen Yue's face was full of disbelief. "Could it be that the identification results of the Tianxuan Mirror are also fake?"
Li Fan and Han Yi also looked extremely solemn as they looked at Immortal Master Jicheng, trying to get answers from him.
Jicheng Immortal Venerable did not answer at first, but pointed at the big tree in front of him and asked the three people: "Do you know what kind of tree this is?"
Han Yi and Ximen Yue looked at it for a while and shook their heads, not recognizing it.
Li Fan said without hesitation: "Qingyun Willow is an ordinary spiritual tree. It has no other value except for viewing."
After all, he had spent so much time reading the "Immortal Medicine Scripture" and it wasn't in vain.
The Immortal Master Jicheng looked at Li Fan with his cloudy eyes, and seemed a little surprised that he could recognize him.
Then he asked, "Then do you know how many years the Qingyun Willow can survive at most?"
Li Fan thought for a moment and said, "It is rare for a Qingyun willow tree to live for eight hundred years. It is almost impossible for it to live for more than a thousand years."
Jicheng Immortal Venerable nodded slowly: "You are right."
"This Qingyun Willow was planted by me when I first broke through the Hedao and was appointed as the successor to the Chief Commander of the Garrison Academy."
"That was more than nine hundred years ago."
"At that time, I was full of energy and ambition."
"I thought death was still far away from me. I could go one step further and live forever."
Jicheng shook his head.
"You really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is..."
The Immortal Venerable sighed and returned to the topic.
"For more than a hundred years, I have watched my old friend who has been with me all the way die of old age."
"I tried every possible way to save his life."
"Aoki spirit liquid, immortal soil fine wine..."
"I have tried all kinds of treasures."
"But it only barely brought him back from the brink of death."
"on one's last legs……"
"At that time, I knew that death was inevitable for us."
Immortal Master Jicheng looked up at the withered Qingyun Willow again.
"I just didn't expect that the same fate would befall me so soon."
After Immortal Master Jicheng finished speaking, he fell into silence.
Li Fan and the other two looked at each other, and did not dare to make a sound to disturb them. They could only stand there and wait.
After a long time, Ji Cheng slowly said, "When the deadline is approaching, apart from taking one step further and completing your overall transformation, all other means can only slightly delay the arrival of death."
"Not only will the effectiveness be greatly reduced, but the more you struggle, the faster other similar methods will become ineffective."
"For example, these life-extending treasures you handed in. I have taken too many with similar effects before. That's why 1,600 years turned into 10 years."
"If God wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, it is difficult to keep you until five o'clock."
Jicheng looked up at the sky, and a strange look flashed across his cloudy eyes.
"But, ten years is enough for me."
The old man's voice gradually became lower and Li Fan and the other two could no longer hear it clearly.
"May I ask, Immortal Lord, does this mean that these life-extending treasures are not as precious as imagined?" After a long time, Han Yi could not help but ask.
Jicheng Tianzun glanced at the three of them and laughed in a low voice.
“The younger you are, the more precious it is.”
“The older you get, the more useless you become.”
"Do you understand?"
When the three heard this, they all had thoughtful expressions.
"Well, meeting you young and energetic people today, I have a lot to say."
"Now it is time to give you your reward."
Without seeing how the Immortal Master Jicheng made any move, three jade plates emitting colorful and exquisite light suddenly appeared and flew towards Li Fan and his companions.
Li Fan took the jade token and saw mysterious patterns carved around it, surrounding the word "Fa" in the center.
"This is the [Jade Token for Audience with the Law]. With this token, you can go to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the Dharma Protectorate Hall, and apply to use the Yanfa Jue." Ji Cheng introduced to the three people.
As if remembering something, Jicheng Immortal Venerable reminded: "Remember, you only have one chance to apply for a [Jade Token of Audience].
"After submitting the application, you may have to wait a long time before it is your turn. Moreover, each derivation has a time limit."
"Don't be greedy and miss out."
"Haha, thinking back to those days..."
The voice of Jicheng Immortal Venerable became smaller and smaller, until it was barely audible.
At this time, the blue-robed monk who had led them in before quietly reappeared beside them.
"Let's go."
He transmitted the message.
Li Fan and the other two put away the [Jade Token of Audience with the Law] and slowly withdrew from the courtyard.
"Young man, let me give you a suggestion. Your jade token can only be used to deduce the cultivation techniques at the Nascent Soul level. If it is only used to deduce the main cultivation techniques at the cultivation level, then it would be a bit too wasteful."
"You can try to let Yan Fajue deduce those skills with special effects."
“Although it’s only at the Nascent Soul level, it may still have miraculous effects.”
Just as Li Fan stepped out of the courtyard, the voice of Jicheng Immortal Venerable suddenly came to his ears.
Li Fan couldn't help but look back, and saw that the Immortal Master Jicheng was stroking the withered Qingyun Willow just as he had seen when he came.
The back figure is lonely.
Li Fan saw an old man approaching the end of his life.
After slowly bowing to him, Li Fan left quietly.
