Chapter 84: Immortal Cultivation Novels Are Honest

The man had long silver hair and a slender figure, standing like a distant pine tree. His face was handsome and cold, and his temperament was like a cold moon. No matter how you looked at it, he was no more than thirty years old.

Is this the... Master Yuanzun?

It’s no wonder Si Linglong was so surprised. In fact, she was not the only one. Helian Yue was also surprised when he first saw the legendary Master Yuanzun.

After all, with a title like Master Yuanzun, it sounds like he is at least eighty years old, if not a hundred.

Who would have thought that this person was so young.

Si Linglong immediately forgot why she wanted to meet this Master Yuanzun, and asked subconsciously, "Master, may I ask how old you are?"

Yuan Zun listened to her question, his eyes like the cold moon swept across her indifferently, his face was calm, and he spoke in a calm voice, like an ancient spring, "I am three hundred and twenty-seven years old."

When Si Linglong heard the number “over 300 years old”, she was stunned.

[He looks so young, but he is already an old man over 300 years old! It is said that immortal cultivators can maintain a young appearance, the novel is true! ]

But after taking a closer look at the man with an immortal look opposite her, Si Linglong's face froze slightly.

"You lied to me?"

Yuan Zun was questioned, but his face remained calm and he only asked, "Why do you think so?"

Asking why you think so instead of asking why you say so is tacitly agreeing with Si Linglong's judgment.

"Your hair is silvery white with a hint of yellow. Are you albino?"

Si Linglong did an internship at a zoo when she was in school, and the subject of her research was an albino bear in the zoo.

It was clearly a brown bear, but because it was an albino species, the animal protection organization mistook it for a polar bear and sent it directly to the Arctic. As a result, it was beaten and ostracized by the polar bear community.

Fortunately, the animal organization discovered the problem in time and transported the bear back overnight. Unexpectedly, it was mistaken for a stray polar bear and was sent directly to the Arctic Pavilion of the zoo by caring people...

Si Linglong also conducted a comprehensive study on animal albinism and human albinism at the time. Now, looking carefully at the wizard in front of her, his unusual white hair and his skin which was whiter than ordinary people, she instantly regained her expertise.

Yuan Zun felt a little strange when she mentioned albinism, and asked, "What is albinism?"

Upon hearing this, Si Linglong hurriedly explained albinism to him, "It is a genetic disease that is passed down from one generation to another. It manifests itself in abnormal whitening of the skin and hair, which are white or yellowish white. In addition, there are also problems such as amblyopia and photophobia."

Simply put, it is loss of pigmentation.

Yuan Zun seemed to be hearing such an explanation for the first time, and his usually calm face showed a little surprise. "So that's how it is. This is the first time you have told me about my illness."

Yuan Zun admitted that he was the albino she mentioned, because he was born with white skin and was once mistaken for a monster. Fortunately, his master passed by and made up the story of his immortal nature. He took him to the mountains to raise him and taught him magic.

However, even though he was directly exposed, Yuan Zun did not show any embarrassment on his face and remained as calm as before.

"Your Excellency has a good eye. I am twenty-seven years old this year."

Seeing that he still looked calm, Si Linglong couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly, "So you are actually a swindler?"

This was the first time since Yuan Zun was born under the name of Master Yuan Zun that someone asked him face to face whether he was a fraud.

But he didn't show any annoyance on his face, and said in the same tone, "People are more willing to believe what they think. For me, being an old man is easier for people to believe."

Si Linglong was speechless for a moment.

Although what he said sounded nice, it can be summed up in one sentence:

【It is easier to deceive people by pretending to be an old man. 】

It's the same reason why people generally believe that the older the Chinese medicine practitioner, the better.

This guy seemed to be very experienced, at least more impressive than the previous "apprentices". Si Linglong didn't know whether to place her hopes on him.

But Yuan Zun suddenly spoke again slowly, "Yuan knows that you have something to ask, please ask, I will tell you what I can tell you."

He paused, his eyes suddenly turned to the mattress under Si Linglong, and said in a calm voice, "As a reward, please give me the tuft of fox hair that you pressed under the mattress, how about it?"

Si Linglong was startled and subconsciously looked at the cushion under her, but she saw that the fox fur was hidden very tightly, with not a single strand of it exposed.

so,

[How did he know there was a tuft of fox hair hidden under my butt? ]
