Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 158 Ten Years and Looking Back

ten years.

The cultivation environment in the frontier has become worse and worse. There have been many wars, many casualties, and all kinds of resources have been consumed and become in short supply.

Life in Yaolu is pretty good, it is one of the few paradises, but it also has its own worries.

Over the years, Chen Sheng has exhausted all means and has been searching for life-prolonging medicines, which seems to be at any cost.

But just three days ago, all the regulations on life extension were abolished and became a thing of the past.

This change made many people panic.

They are not afraid of squandering things for use. The Yaolu family has a big business and can afford to burn them, but they are afraid that even burning them will be useless.

That means that Elder Luzhu's lifespan has reached an unsustainable bad situation.

Among them, the deeper consideration is even more terrifying. Elder Luzhu and the leader of their medicine house are almost the same age.

This one can't extend his life, so can their elders survive?

The more they thought about it, the more disturbed they became.

This leader's prestige is too high, he sits still, like a towering mountain, and makes the whole outer sect admire him. Losing him will be a great loss for Yaolu.

Especially in the turbulent situation in the border areas, there will be great turmoil, making the medicine house uneasy.

"The years are harsh..."

After the efficacy of the second turtle-snake life-extending pill was exhausted, Luzhu refined the water crystal. This kind of natural life-extending spirit is really easy to use, giving her an extra five years of life for no reason.

But at this point, it is no longer possible to prolong life.

She is 290 years old this year, which is an extremely long age for a monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Her body and mind are both decayed, and she feels like she can't make ends meet.

It is riddled with holes, and if you consume life-extending pills, it will only flow out and cannot store vitality like a dilapidated bucket.

Everything is over.

The remaining five years are the last journey of her life.

"I'll find a way."

Chen Sheng murmured.

"Is there really another way?"

Luzhu's eyes were as bright as water, and she looked at Chen Sheng without any trace of worry.

Under the clear eyes, the thousands of words on Chen Sheng's mouth disappeared in a flash, because the fake ones cannot come true, and he couldn't help but said in pain: "It's gone..., there is no other way, I will show Guangxiu Xianzong I've searched all the classics, but I can't find a way to prolong my life."

He is well aware that the method of immortality by pills has cut off the way forward, and he wants to find some other means of prolonging life, but the life span of [-] limit in the Foundation Establishment Realm is limited by the body and soul, and it is impossible to separate the two. Conditional, but also endless legacy, can't be done.

Sometimes, with a sober understanding, we know more about the helplessness of the world.

"Then it's fine. Knowing that there is no way out, I can just relax my mind and feel at ease."

Luzhu knew that there was no way to return to heaven. After hearing the news, her expression was calm. She thought very openly, and the heavens were extremely generous, allowing a monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm to live for so long.

Also, the Taoist couple is also there, loving for a lifetime, and not knowing the fun, it is too much.

"Ha ha……"

Chen Sheng laughed twice, but there was no smile at all. He never thought of himself as a broad-minded person who doesn't stick to external things.

He is just a layman, unable to escape the shackles of the world, and will still be discouraged and sad when encountering powerless things.

"In the last few years, I don't want to stay in the medicine house anymore. I want to go to Sijiu City, pay respects to Lady Linglong, watch the lanterns again, and see the lights of Wanjia."

What Luzhu misses the most is that she has no regrets in the outer sect, only the Linglong Empress's Day in Sijiu City, which makes her never forget, and wants to experience it again.

"it is good."

Chen Sheng thought about it, thought of something, and simply told You Ye that he planned not to return for a few years, so that he could do things well and not slack off.

Afterwards, the Dragon Palace was empty, and a couple of gods and immortals drifted away.

"唳"

Cranes are flying in the sky, a man and a woman are sitting on their backs, cuddling together, looking down, overlooking the mountains, rivers and land.

The situation in the outskirts was very chaotic. They saw the mountains and rivers were broken, the cultivators were fighting each other, and the monsters in the mountains ran out and ate the corpses of the cultivators until their hair turned blood red.

"Master He Fang, please come down and see me."

On a mountain full of aura, stood a Taoist priest with a high crown and a broad belt. He looked elegant and extended an invitation to a pair of monks on the spirit crane.

"Chong"

The next moment, the sword light fell, magnificent and splendid, like a whole galaxy falling down, dotted with dots, full of murderous intent.

The body of the conspicuous Gaoguan Taoist was split open, and the terrifying sword intent shook the mountain, and the rocks rolled down, killing many immortal cultivators, and many escaped.

"These trail-cutters, who occupy famous mountains and do some nasty deeds, really deserve to be killed."

Chen Sheng's eyes fell, and he saw the monks in the mountain, good and bad, without a trace of immortality.

He has heard of some of these activities, the turmoil in the border areas, the killing of the orthodoxy, and a little downfall, but it has attracted casual cultivators to seize the foundation.

He had sensed earlier that the Taoist priest Gao Guan had evil intentions and wanted to lure the two of them in to ambush him, so he acted first.

"I have been in the medicine hut for a long time, so I don't know the chaos of the world."

Since the turmoil in the borderlands, Luzhu has not gone out yet. She knows that Chen Sheng will be worried, so she is not willful.

When I came out this time, I really saw the danger outside. With less experience, it is possible to capsize in the gutter.

"I don't know how long this mess will last."

Chen Sheng thought of the Sutra of the Underground Palace, and he didn't know what was written in it, but it actually caused the five great immortal sects to kill each other and fight for years.

If this trend continues, is it going to lead to an endless situation?

"Whoosh..."

At this moment, a ray of black light pierced through the sky, piercing towards Chen Sheng's heart with incomparable speed.

"Chong"

Chen Sheng drew his sword and cut off the black light. It was a god-snatching cone, extremely sharp. If you were hit by it, no matter how strong your mana is, your body would be broken.

"No, it's a foundation-builder."

In the valley, a feminine old man saw that his magic weapon was intercepted, and his face changed drastically. He made repeated sneak attacks, succeeded in all of them, and killed them indiscriminately in the qi refining environment.

There was a mistake this time, without even thinking about it, he waved his hand, thick fog rose in the valley, he hid himself, and was about to retreat.

"Chong"

In the sky, the sound of galloping sword qi resounded, and when it plunged into the thick fog, a smear of blood red flashed, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, and there was no more breath.

Along the way, the two Chen and Sheng on the Linghe encountered more than a dozen peeps. Some of them were cautious and did not make a move, so they all retreated completely.

And those monks who couldn't bear it were all killed by Chen Sheng with a sword, and their bodies were dragged halfway.

Soaring for dozens of days, Sijiu City is far away.

Between the sky and the earth, the city is majestic, a mountain with two corners stands firmly, the big river flows eastward, and the scene is myriad.

"It's changed a lot..."

Still the same as before, the two let Linghe go and walked into Sijiu City by themselves, admiring the scenery in the city.

Luzhu walked to the street and compared the pavilions and houses she saw with her eyes with those in her memory, and found that they were almost confused.

Over 180 years, many things have changed.

"The Red Line building is still there."

Chen Sheng took a look and found a familiar attic. He was a little happy in his heart. The two of them came to Sijiu City before, and the place where they stayed was the Red Line Building.

Walking into the building, the old shopkeeper has already passed away. The current shopkeeper is a strong young man with a slender body, bright eyes, and a shrewd and capable aura.

"Are you two... staying at the hotel?"

Quan Qi, who was in front of the counter, saw this couple, his heart moved slightly, and he felt extraordinary.

This is honed by being with people for a long time. The real rich and noble people can feel a kind of detachment without showing off.

"Is Tianzi No. [-] room still available?"

Chen Sheng asked.

"It's empty."

As soon as Quan Qi heard it, he knew that this was a regular customer, and said: "The guest has stayed here before, why I don't have any impression of it."

He has an excellent memory, and his ability to deal with people and things is very good. He is a natural treasurer.

Generally, he probably has an impression of the guests who have been here, that such distinguished guests will deliberately write down their names and preferences.

But he searched the memory in his mind, but he had no impression of these two at all.

"It's been a long time."

There was a hint of emotion in Chen Sheng's voice, revisiting the old place, the shopkeeper has changed generations.

"plz follow me."

Quan Qi remained calm on the surface, and led the two of them up to the attic, still thinking in his heart, the two looked young, it may not have been a long time, at most three or four years.

He should remember this time, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Soon, Tianzi No. [-] room arrived, and Quan Qi left.

"It hasn't changed, it's the same as before."

After entering the room, Lu Zhu glanced at it, she was a little happy, the surrounding furnishings had not changed, which made her feel familiar.

"Xilong River is still there, Longjiao Mountain is still there, and so are we."

Chen Sheng opened the window, and the mountains and rivers outside were intertwined, very poetic and picturesque.

"April [-]th is Linglong Empress's Day, there are still a few days left, why is there no movement at all?"

Green Pearl said strangely.

The Linglong Niangniang Festival in her memory was very lively, thousands of houses were lit up, praying again and again, and it was a scene of prosperity.

Thinking of this, I look forward to it even more.

"Perhaps we will see the clues in the next two days."

Chen Sheng speculated.

"Tianzi No. [-]? No way."

In other words, Quan Qi's heart was haunted by a trace of inadequacy, and he always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't think of anything.

At Haishi, it was very dark, and he was already drowsy. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he woke up completely. He hurriedly ran to the warehouse, and turned out an antique box.

Tianzi No. [-] reminded him of a clue. Although it was unbelievable, it was still possible.

"pat..."

The antique box was opened, and inside was the family tree, about an inch and a half thick.

Flipping up the genealogy, he directly skipped the newly written one. What the bastard dad did was all bastard things, and there was nothing commendable about it.

Scrolling up, he became more and more sure that the old man was indeed a jerk.

From the grandparents up, the shopkeepers of each generation are very capable, and they manage the Hongxian Building very well.

Also, Tianzi No. [-] is reserved and not open to the public. It was only when the bastard dad made the decision that he ignored the rules.

He only found out about this by looking through the family tree.

Finally, he turned to the first page of the family tree, which contained many records.

"More than 180 years ago, I received a couple in the Hongxian Building and arranged them in Room [-] of Tianzi."

"It was only later that I found out that these are two big men who came from the Guangxiu Immortal Sect. They are extremely powerful and powerful, so they must be treated with courtesy,"

"It's unreasonable, it's no luck."

"I was lucky. I was lucky. I had a good time. I felt that I had something worth talking about. I was born with the idea of ​​continuing the incense, so I adopted the young man in the shop as an heir, and let the Hongxianlou pass on. go down."

When Quan Qi saw his family history, he was confused, it was too wild.

For the time being, he didn't care about the affairs of his ancestors, and focused on the distinguished guest of room No. [-] in Tianzi, and the more he looked at it, the better he got.

In the description of the ancestors, the deeds of these two people are very powerful. The sword light danced on the Xilong River, and a letter of worship crushed the tyrants of the four or nine cities, cutting off the century-old family fortune of the Tian family.

One by one, if one is done, it is enough for him to brag about it for a lifetime, but in the eyes of others, it is just ordinary.

"Tian's? I haven't heard of it. It should be declining and disappearing from the public."

Quan Qi thought about it for a while, and he had no impression of the first family in Sijiu City back then. Based on the records of his ancestors, it must have been cut off after a hundred years of family luck, and thus became unknown.

"I said that the Xiuxian family in the city is so reasonable. It turns out that they were cut once and have a long memory."

He also thought of the Immortal Cultivation family in Sijiu City, they were too reasonable, thinking it was a good family education, not because they knew the dangers of the world and dared not do anything wrong.

"How should I get along with those two?"

After reading the genealogy, Quan Qi was somewhat sure that the two distinguished guests in Tianzi No. [-] room should be the two immortals from that year, and said: "Tomorrow I will bring a food box up to explore the way."

It wasn't that he wanted to build a relationship, but after he knew about it, he couldn't help feeling a little admiration in his heart.

He doesn't have much to say about the Xiuxian family in Sijiu City. Now that there are bigger figures sitting in the shop, he has to chatter at least, and it will be a good story to be written in the genealogy in the future.

The next day.

"Wait until the Linglong Empress's Day begins..."

Luzhu is really concerned about Linglong Empress's Day, she is already thinking about gifts and incense.

"Boom"

Quan Qi was carrying the food box, which contained hot food. He stood outside the door and knocked on the door respectfully.

"Come in."

A gentle voice came out.

Quan Qi pushed the door steadily and went in, holding the food box, said: "You two guests, let's eat something, it's a special feature of Sijiu City."

Knowing the identities of the two distinguished guests, his state of mind has changed today, he can't be calm, with a trace of respect, and a deep embarrassment.

After all, the difference in power and status is too great to face calmly and be restrained.

"The shopkeeper has a heart."

There was some karma between him and Hongxianlou, Chen Sheng did not refuse, and accepted the shopkeeper's kindness.

"Just now I overheard this... Senior talking about Linglong Empress's Day, but I'm going to be disappointed. Forty-Nine City has celebrated Linglong Empress's Day for a long time."

Quan Qi was overjoyed, seeing that the two distinguished guests were not alienated from him, they were not the kind of indifferent people, so he continued to talk through Huatou.

"Why is this?"

Chen Sheng frowned slightly. The two of them were not too young. They came to see the lanterns and participated in the Linglong Empress Festival, not for gaining anything, but because they had some good memories left here and wanted to pick them up again.

Now Quan Qi says that the Linglong Empress's Day will not be held, this plan will come to nothing, how can he not care.
