Chapter 3042 Dong Yan Requests an Audience
"What? Venerable Lei dug up the roots of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus from the Eastern Heavenly Gate Secret Realm, and he dug up all of them in just three sections?"

Li Shaojun's time to seek out and communicate with Lei Zunzhe was not long, and Zhang Xuezhou received further information.

After comparing the jade lotus root for a long time, Zhang Xuezhou finally found a vague fracture.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was probably the broken end of the Ling Si Yu Ou that Jin Xia Yuan Jun had given to the Western Sect ten years ago.

The Western religion's Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus has a large number of petals on top and only one on the bottom, and the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus from the Eastern Heavenly Gate Secret Land is no exception.

Zhang Xuezhou was in severe liver pain.

If he's to wait for the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus to grow new lotus roots, that would be an eternity.

He originally thought that the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root from the East Heavenly Gate could be picked and sent to the Western Sect, and that he could also pick a section to test its medicinal effects, but he never expected it to be like this.

"I just don't understand how this stuff can be used to make medicine," Li Shaojun said with a sigh.

"Don't think about things you can't understand," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I haven't figured out the mystery of your resurrection yet, so I haven't been keeping an eye on you to study it!"

“Everything you say makes sense,” Li Shaojun said dejectedly. “What am I supposed to do? I really worked hard for you. The distance I flew in this past month is longer than my entire life, and I even used several of my Creation Pills!”

"Don't mention the Creation Pill. At least you took it yourself and even used it to practice the Cloud Soaring Technique!"

Zhang Xuezhou took the Fish Intestine Sword and then wet it.

The Fish Intestine Sword, a divine weapon that could previously sever the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, failed to work this time, leaving only a few scratches on the lotus root skin.

"This thing can even be used as a weapon! Anyone who disagrees can smash it over the head!"

The Fish Intestine Sword was obtained by Zhang Xuezhou from Li Shaojun. Seeing that even the Fish Intestine Sword couldn't cut through the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, Li Shaojun felt that this piece of Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root could be used as a weapon to smash people.

"This thing will die; it'll be useless if we don't cut it off soon!"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't cut open the Ling Si Jade Lotus Root, so he had no choice but to throw it into the water tank.

He thought for a moment, then threw the Fish Intestine Sword back in to soak in water again.

"Why don't you find a place with lots of lightning?" Li Shaojun suggested. "The first form of the Fish Intestine Sword can't cut through the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus, but the second form might be able to!"

"you help me……"

"I would definitely be happy to help you, but you know I can't die right now!"

Before Zhang Xuezhou could finish speaking, Li Shaojun immediately refused to consecrate the Fish Intestine Sword with lightning. He even slapped himself for giving the suggestion, since he wanted to live, not die. He didn't dare gamble with his life for fear of actually dying.

"I knew you were useless!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the clear blue sky, pondered his lightning avoidance skills, and considered his current flying ability.

He felt that there was no possibility of giving the Fish Intestine Sword a second consecration in the short term.

While complaining about Li Shaojun, Zhang Xuezhou was also thinking about the temperamental Crimson Sky Sword, wondering if he could borrow a drop of Ao Li's essence blood to restore its power, and then cut the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus for himself.

Of course, whether it's seeking a second consecration of the Fish Intestine Sword or using the Crimson Sky Sword, the risks are quite high.

Moreover, the power of the Crimson Sky Sword and its sharpness are two different things, and Zhang Xuezhou could hardly ensure that he used it perfectly. "No wonder Master Shi Gong said that only the Western Sect has modified Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Roots. This is indeed different from the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Roots in the Eastern Heavenly Gate Secret Realm!"

The lotus roots in the water tank are so old they've developed a patina, and they don't look like they're about to grow a new one.

If there were no way to detoxify with a male-female team, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would have mentally collapsed. There was indeed a good reason why the Cynomorium songaricum near Duanhun Ridge grew so tall and thrived.

"What should we do? You say you can't do it, but Lei Ming has already done everything. Do we have any other needs from him? If not, can we refine longevity pills? Tell me, how are you going to refine longevity pills? It seems like he's really sticking to us. He won't leave without the finished product. But if we give him the finished product, we'll be in big trouble. You need to think this through carefully!"

Having been confronted with the possibility of 'Bai' taking his life, Li Shaojun suddenly became more enlightened about his need for the Longevity Pill. He didn't ask for much more lifespan; he only hoped that the pill's production wouldn't affect him. After all, there were quite a few old, crazy cultivators seeking longevity, and if these people knew about the Longevity Pill, he was destined to be entangled and even face danger.

After walking back and forth a few steps, Zhang Xuezhou was still staring at the Ling Si Jade Lotus Root, while Li Shaojun had a bit of a headache, feeling that things were quite difficult to do.

"Why are you in such a panic? It's just alchemy and medicine making!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that refining longevity pills was not as difficult as imagined.

He wanted to research a fixed formula for prolonging life, which was very difficult, but once he had the finished product in hand, he could refine it however he wanted. Even if he added poison, it would still be a pill that could prolong life.

Lei Zun Zhe is a prime example of someone who takes this medicine; very few people are destined to take it, so very few people would bother them.

“Tell Lei Ming that we are currently seeking to cut the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root. If he has the means to help, we will cut it and immediately try to refine the Longevity Golden Pill again,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

“This thing is impossible to cut. The Celestial Court would never use Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root to refine pills,” Li Shaojun said. “He’s not mentally challenged, how could he possibly believe such a thing!”

“Whether he believes it or not is his business; whether you can make him believe it is your skill,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I really want to smash my head against this lotus root and die!"

Li Shaojun slapped himself again.

Li Shaojun could already imagine the difficulty of persuading a smart person to become mentally challenged.

Zhang Xuezhou had grasped his Achilles' heel, effectively binding him tightly. Li Shaojun had no choice but to work, even if he didn't want to.

He had a vague feeling of unease, but more than that, he didn't want to stay in this mansion at all, lest he find himself constantly doing work even though he wasn't urging Zhang Xuezhou to do anything.

"I'll look for Lei Ming again!"

After leaving those words, Li Shaojun left the mansion with a heavy heart.

"The three of you are like turtles eyeing green beans, you've hit it off!"

With the Crimson Sky Sword in his right hand, which was unusable, and the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus in the water vat, which could not be cut, plus the Fish Intestine Sword, which would break down if it was not soaked in water, Zhang Xuezhou felt that none of his treasures were normal.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou was not the true owner of these treasures, nor had he been cheated by them. The previous owners were the ones who suffered the most.

"Master, Dong Yan is here to see you!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a long time without finding a solution, but Dong Yan, the Imperial Guard Commander of the Immortal Court, came to his door again.

This might not be Dong Yan's first visit. Zhang Xuezhou has been staying in the palace for the past few days, and his return home is unpredictable. Even after Dong Yan obtained the information about the Demon-Revealing Mirror, he has no way to visit.

It wasn't until the court turmoil subsided, and he had been spending a considerable amount of time at his residence, that Dong Yan visited him again and finally ran into Zhang Xuezhou.
