Chapter 365: The Magical Power of the Creation Bell
"Zhong Shentong? He wants to see me?"
In the vast white fog, Li Fan stopped the work at hand.
Listening to He Chen's report, Li Fan frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled.
I only met him once in [Sitting and Talking about Taoism], and I have never met him formally in the real world.
He Chen saw Li Fan's expression and lowered his voice and said, "According to this Zhong Shentong, he has a way to extend your life, Master Li. But he must see you in person."
“Although this person is only at the foundation-building stage, his seven-colored divine light is truly mysterious and infinite. He can even resist the Yuan-devouring White Mist. The adults in the Immortal Fortress also praise him highly.”
“Moreover, Zhong Shentong has a wide range of friends. This time, he was introduced and guaranteed by a Divine Transformation cultivator, so the Immortal Fortress let him come.”
"Master Li, it wouldn't hurt for you to meet him."
He Chen suggested.
Among the monks in the Jiaxu stronghold rescued by Li Fan two years ago, He Chen was the most grateful to him.
When Li Fan's life is about to end, he will still strive to build the first line of the magic circle.
He Chen was even more in awe of Li Fan.
He was even a little fanatical and obeyed Li Fan's every word.
Li Fan nodded slightly and said, "In that case, you can take me to meet this Zhong Shentong."
But in his heart, he was thinking: "I'm really sleepy and I'm here to take a pillow. Let's not talk about whether the so-called method of prolonging life is true or not. Just to get closer and find out the origin of his seven-colored divine light in advance is also good."
The two returned to the Jiaxu stronghold. In the meeting room, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a Taoist robe, had been waiting for a long time.
Li Fan stepped in, and Zhong Shentong's gaze instantly focused on him.
After looking at each other, Li Fan bowed first and said, "Daoyou Zhong, I have heard a lot about you!"
Zhong Shentong also sighed: "There is no false reputation, the rumors from the outside world are not false. Daoist friend's life span is indeed rapidly declining, and his end is approaching."
As soon as these words came out, He Chen's eyes suddenly became unfriendly.
Li Fan, however, had an idea and signaled He Chen to leave for the time being.
When they were the only two left in the hall, he cupped his hands and said, "What you said, fellow Daoist, seems to have a deep meaning?"
Zhong Shentong stroked his beard and nodded: "It is precisely because I have had similar experiences with you that I can be so sure at first sight."
"To be honest, I didn't believe your deeds when I heard them from the outside world."
"Because I have personally experienced it, I know very well how intense the fear of death is when one moment you still have a lot of life left and the next second you are already dying."
"I prided myself on my strong will, but I almost collapsed. It took me a long time to recover."
"But compared with fellow Taoists..."
Zhong Shentong shook his head: "Just now, fellow Daoist seemed to be in charge of the construction of the formation in the white fog? He put his own life aside..."
"This level is beyond my reach!"
Li Fan sneered: "I know that there is no hope of extending my life, so I want to do as much as I can. As for how noble it is..."
"I don't think so." Li Fan said sincerely.
Zhong Shentong's expression became even more excited: "Yes, it is this kind of detached and free-spirited attitude."
"How did you do it, fellow Daoist? Please teach me!"
After saying this, he bowed solemnly.
Li Fan also reacted quickly and dodged the salute.
He said solemnly: "Your coming here is strange, and your behavior is even more inexplicable."
"If you have more to say, don't blame me for getting angry!"
"Although your seven-colored divine light is powerful, I am not afraid of you!"
Zhong Shentong smiled bitterly and slapped his head: "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I was reckless."
Straightening up, he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What I said before, there is a method to prolong your life, it is indeed true."
"And I want to ask for advice from you, Taoist friend, with all my heart."
"Have you ever heard of my deeds?"
Zhong Shentong looked at Li Fan and asked.
Li Fan nodded: "I have heard that. You are a famous late bloomer."
"Over sixty years old, a mortal practicing Qi. After practicing Qi for several decades, he finally established his foundation."
"You never gave up the hope of breaking through and advancing to the next level until your death. I really admire you."
When Zhong Shentong heard this, his old face turned red.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered, "Daoyou, you are really too kind."
"There is actually another hidden story behind this."
"It also has something to do with my visit to find fellow Taoists."
"I'm telling you today, fellow Taoist. I hope you won't spread it to others."
Li Fan looked a little strange, but still nodded in agreement.
Zhong Shentong cleared his throat and said, "My friend, have you ever heard of procrastination?"
"Procrastination?" Li Fan was a little surprised.
"Yes, I, an old Taoist priest, suffer from a very serious procrastination disorder. It is a terminal disease, and there is no cure." Zhong Shentong sighed.
"Back then, when I was eighteen, I had already acquired a profound skill. But I had no motivation to practice it. I thought that I was still young and had a long time to live. So I became more and more lazy in my practice."
"I fish for three days and then rest for two days. I have been free and easy until I am over fifty years old, but I still haven't been able to break through to the Qi Refining Stage."
“And there was still no rush.”
Zhong Shentong narrowed his eyes, seeming to be lost in memories.
"I boasted that with my physical condition at that time, I could live to be 70 or 80 years old. I still had more than 30 years to live happily."
"Until that day, I accidentally swallowed a poisonous fruit."
"Although he survived and did not die on the spot, his body is in critical condition and he is not far from death."
"I have never felt death is so close to me. I am more terrified than ever before."
"Between life and death, there is great terror!"
“So I thought that after I break through to Qi Refining, my lifespan will skyrocket.”
"It was as if I had grabbed the last straw. I put everything else aside and focused only on cultivation."
"Under the pressure of death, my cultivation speed is faster than I could have imagined."
"In just one day and one night, I successfully entered the Qi Refining Realm!"
"But after that, my life span increased again, which made me lose all motivation. I still have so much time to live, so I decided to live happily first."
"Until several decades later, I once again reached the limit of my lifespan."
"Under the threat of death, he was able to break through to the foundation-building stage!"
After Zhong Shentong finished speaking, Li Fan's expression became extremely strange.
If he hadn't lied.
Then this person is really a talented person.
"So, what is the method of prolonging life that you are talking about, fellow Taoist?" Li Fan tried his best to put on a pleasant face and asked patiently.
Zhong Shentong said confidently: "I heard that fellow Taoist has not much time left, so he gave up the plan of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage? In my opinion, there is no need for that!"
