night,
The palace gate was wide open and a red carpet was laid all the way to the entrance.
The emperor's eunuch went to invite people in person, and the general stood in front of the hall to welcome the guests. Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of people in the capital.
The diplomats, led by Liu Ming, walked across the red carpet uncomfortably and entered the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, the emperor stood up excitedly and walked down the high dragon throne in a few steps.
"A guest from another world, I have long heard of your great name."
"Hello, great emperor."
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Li Kun immediately asked about the longevity treasure.
"If you want to prolong your life, there are two options. One is the Yellow-skinned Ten-legged Gu, a type of Gu. Keeping it nearby can improve your physical condition and extend your lifespan. Generally, it can extend your lifespan by 10 g."
"There's also a kind called the Longevity Item, which comes from the realm of cultivation. There are three types: five-day, ten-day, and twenty-day longevity items. The longer the life extension item, the more valuable it is."
"Ten or twenty cents? Is that so little?" Li Kun whispered.
Before Liu Ming could say anything, the imperial teacher beside him spat out a mouthful of wine.
"Cough cough cough..."
After finally stopping coughing, the Imperial Master looked towards the Emperor, his eyes unconsciously filled with a look of looking at a fool.
"Is it so difficult to extend one's life by another ten or twenty years? Don't immortals always talk about immortality?" Li Kun asked with some doubt.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Master bared his teeth and glared at the Emperor. After a long pause, he said, "Your Majesty, please read less travelogues. They are well-written by those who cultivate the chain, but at least eight out of ten of them are just bragging."
"Look at me, Master Imperial Master, the most advanced cultivator in the world, at the fourth level of Qi Chain. This means I'm a bit healthier than the average person. If I want to prolong my life, I have to cultivate Qi Chain to the foundation-building stage."
"But given the current situation, that's unlikely. I'll just be wasting my life in the Qi Chain Stage, and I won't be able to see the scene of the worlds connecting after a hundred years."
After finishing his words, the Grand Master felt so melancholy that even the wine didn't taste as good anymore.
He smacked his lips, ignored the emperor, and went straight into the crowd. He found a soldier who was at the fourth level of Qi Chain like him, and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Brother, what's your world like? Is there abundant spiritual energy? I see you're doing guard work, but you're all in the Qi Chain Stage, which is amazing."
The soldier blinked, a smile immediately plastered on his face: "What's so great about it? People in the Qi Chain Stage can only do guard duties, they can't do anything else."
Li Kun stared with wide eyes at his Imperial Master once again walking arm in arm with someone else.
I can only ask Liu Ming: "Is it difficult to prolong life?"
"It's difficult. After traveling through so many worlds, only three of them have methods to prolong life. The rest require either martial arts training or cultivation. But considering your age..."
Liu Ming looked at the emperor with disheveled hair in front of him and was unable to utter the following words. Li Kun already understood what he meant.
The leaves of the immortal tree that extended life by a hundred years have been harvested, and the literary horse that extended life by a thousand years may be obtained later, but it is impossible to sell it to the emperor of a secular dynasty because he cannot afford the price.
Li Kun's face looked unhappy. His idea of extending his life by a hundred or a thousand years and ruling the Dagan Dynasty forever, which he had hoped to achieve before these guests from other worlds came, was shattered.
However, as an emperor, Li Kun quickly calmed himself down and said to Liu Ming in a deep voice,
"Then I choose the Yanshou 㫡, which extends life by twenty 㹓."
"I wonder what the price will be for me?"
"The price is simple. All the books in your Royal Library, regardless of their subject matter. I know your world once had Chain Cultivators, so we also want books related to Chain Cultivators."
The price was so small that Li Kun was worried just now. What if these people asked him for young boys and girls?
Previously, a monk came to the palace and claimed that he could extend his life by a hundred years, but he wanted ten thousand boys and ten thousand girls for each year. Before he could finish his words, he was beaten to death by the imperial prefect who heard the news.
"no problem!"
Li Kun agreed immediately. Those techniques for repairing the chain were once precious, but now they are like waste paper without the ability to repair the chain.
"I'll have someone transcribe it right away."
"No, we've got the equipment. You just need to find someone to take us to the library."
Li Kun directly ordered: "Wang En, you personally lead people to the library."
