After the Skyfall

Chapter 426 The Value of the Longevity Pill

Everyone showed a look of surprise, even the other Taoist nuns in Tianxiang Tower opened their eyes wide, they couldn't believe that Uncle Xiang Xiangzi would use the Taoist magic of transplanting flowers and trees to give away the most important flower of the soul to a man he had never met before. This meant handing their lives over to the other party.

If the other party is willing to nurture your soul flower, you will have the opportunity to return to the peak. If they are unwilling, and absorb the soul flower, then all your insights into cultivation will be given to the other party, and you will die.

As soon as the Taoist name Taiyi came out, the Taoist potential emerged.

But he dared to gamble his life based on a vague and illusory Taoist opportunity. This shows great courage.

Xiang Xiangzi, who had handed over the flower of the primordial spirit, instantly became weak. Even at the peak of his powers, if he cut off a flower of the primordial spirit, his foundation would be damaged, his cultivation would be greatly reduced, and he would have no hope of the great path. In the current Dharma-Ending Age, Xiang Xiangzi, as a cultivator, had already fallen in realm and become a mortal. If he was hit hard again, he would probably
At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi's body began to wither rapidly like a withered flower. She could still maintain her beauty, but in just a moment she began to age. Her smooth and fair skin became dull, wrinkled, and developed age spots, and her black hair quickly turned white.

Her plump figure became shriveled and withered, as if she had aged by dozens of years in an instant.

Not only that, the breath of life also began to weaken.

"Oh no, Xiang Xiangzi is about to pass away." The bald Taoist said hurriedly.

"Forcing the flower of the soul to be sent away has severely damaged the last source of life. Death is inevitable. You still treat us as we were in the past. Even if the three flowers on the top of the head are cut off and the five qi in the chest are closed, we can still be alive and well. It's already very good to be alive these days." Taoist Wu sighed.

Xiang Xiangzi smiled and waved his hands at this moment, saying: "It doesn't matter. I have endured for many years, waiting for such an opportunity. Even if I die, at least it is my own choice, which is better than dying in despair."

As she spoke, she shook her Taoist robe, and the spirit stone turned into powder and fell to the ground.

Without this spiritual stone, she couldn't even perform her Taoist magic.

"Ah, that's right. If I take a gamble, I'll have a chance to return to the spirit and rebuild the Great Dao in the future. If I just sit and wait for death, I'll be nothing but dust in the near future." The bald Taoist was relieved at this moment and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that I can no longer see Taoist Xiang Xiangzi playing the zither. This is another big regret in my life."

"Old friends are like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, withering away one after another." Taoist Wu couldn't help but wipe away his tears, thinking of his former fellow disciples who had passed away.

As a woman, Liu Guzi also had a gloomy expression. How could she ever want to see her youth pass away and her appearance change? But she was shouldering the inheritance of the Sanhua Sect, so she could not die. She had to hold on no matter what. If an old woman like her died, the Sanhua Sect would be completely ruined. How could she be worthy of her master and the elders' painstaking cultivation and their dying instructions?

Every family has its cupboard.

Living in the Dharma-Ending Age is not easy for anyone.

"Inviting people to dinner is supposed to be a good thing, but how did it turn into a banquet? People here are weirder than each other. They want to die at any time. It's totally incomprehensible." Li Yi came to his senses at this moment. Seeing that such a beautiful Taoist nun who was still plump and beautiful had aged so quickly and was about to die, he immediately got a headache.

The bald Taoist priest was the same just now.

Forget it, I am an honest man after all.

Immediately, he grabbed Xiang Xiangzi's skinny hand and used the technique to guide the cosmic energy in his body into her body immediately.

Although Li Yi is only at the Soul Realm, he has an amazing physique. With his physical evolution, every cell in his body is filled with cosmic energy. If he can utilize all of this energy and transform it into magic power, his magic power will definitely exceed that of a Jindan cultivator, and even be comparable to that of a Yuanying cultivator.

It’s a pity that the people on Earth have no way to practice cultivation, so they cannot realize their potential and can only passively accept being beaten.

With the infusion of a large amount of spiritual energy, Xiang Xiangzi's decline slowed down a lot, but it was still useless, and the vitality was still fading.

"Taiyi, don't waste your energy. My time is up. From now on, please take good care of my soul flower. When Taiyi succeeds in cultivation in the future, we will meet again." Xiang Xiangzi smiled. She could tell from Li Yi's act of saving her that she had not given the soul flower to the wrong person.

If he was a heartless and ungrateful person, he would not have invited the bald Taoist priest and his group to have dinner at Tianxiang Tower.

This seemingly reckless behavior of mine was actually well thought out.

"Since spiritual energy doesn't work, try this."

Li Yi said this and took out a white pill without hesitation. The pill contained a dense aura and was filled with surging vitality.

This is a longevity elixir obtained from all over the world.

One coin can extend a person's life by a hundred years.

This thing certainly cannot extend the lifespan of top practitioners by a hundred years, and its efficacy will definitely diminish. However, it is very useful in the Dharma Ending Age, because those who practice Taoism have fallen in realm and become mortals. The longevity pills from all over the world are simply a perfect fit for them.

"Eat it." Li Yi didn't give Xiang Xiangzi a chance to react. He stuffed the longevity pill directly into her mouth, then used all his strength to shatter it.

Along with the spread of the life essence contained in the longevity pill.

A magical scene happened.

Xiang Xiangzi, who was about to pass away, suddenly became more vigorous like a candle in the wind. Her aging body regained its youth at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the infusion of Li Yi's spiritual energy, her muscles glowed, the turbid air was quickly expelled, and she became radiant again.

Xiang Xiangzi had already prepared to die, but when he felt the changes in himself at this moment, he opened his eyes wide and felt it was unbelievable.

Although her realm had fallen severely, her body was returning to youth.

"Rescued, revived? Incredible, incredible, what kind of elixir is that? One pill can actually reverse life and death and bring back to life a person who is about to die." The bald Taoist was shocked again. "You ignorant bald man, you people of the Daoqi Sect only know how to refine Daoqi around your Qiankun Ding and Tiandi Furnace all day long, and you don't understand the principles of elixirs at all. The pill in Taiyi's hand must be a precious elixir that can prolong life. Only in this way can the life of a person who is about to die be renewed." Liu Guzi said, but her heart was full of waves.

That's a life-extending elixir, and you gave it to a Taoist nun who was about to die?
If this were to be taken around in the Taoist temple, I wonder how many major sects would be willing to spend all their money for this longevity pill.

"Can we see the elixir of longevity in the Dharma-Ending Age?" Taoist Wu's lips trembled with excitement.

Longevity pills were incredible treasures during the heyday of the Dao Court. In the Dharma Ending Age, a surviving longevity pill can drive people crazy. Before, the bald man was willing to sell the inherited Taoist artifact Qiankun Ding for a few spirit stones. If he had the longevity pill, he might have to sell the artifact that was still in good condition.

After all, being alive is the most important thing. If you die, everything will be gone.

What is the purpose of practicing Taoism? Isn't it for immortality?

Strength is only for the purpose of better immortality.

"Are you alive?" Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then loosened his palm and interrupted the input of cosmic energy.

He came here to practice Buddhism, so how did he become a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering?

“I feel like I could live another hundred years.”

At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi looked up to the sky, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt his body relaxed, his tiredness gone, and full of energy. He hadn't felt this way for many years, as if he had returned to the time when he first started practicing Taoism.

Although now the three flowers have withered, the five energies are blocked, and the state of mind is gone, if we could return to our childhood and live another life in this Dharma-Ending Age, how lucky we would be.

When he opened his eyes again, Xiang Xiangzi's beautiful eyes kept wandering around Li Yi, never leaving his sight for even a moment.

After experiencing this, she was completely convinced that Taiyi's appearance was the last bit of luck for the Dao Court. Now it depended on who in this huge Dao Court was lucky enough to comprehend this bit of Dao and seize this opportunity.

Think of this.

The corners of Xiang Xiangzi's mouth curled up unconsciously because she knew that she had won the bet.

The art of grafting can only be performed once on a person.

Tai Yi accepted his own soul flower. If he had not destroyed that soul flower with his own hands, he would not have been able to accept a second soul flower.

"Miss, can you please let us have our meal in peace? I still have many things about cultivation that I would like to ask you seniors." Li Yi said helplessly. He felt that if he continued to save people from suffering like this, a halo of merit would emerge behind his head.

"Taiyi, eating is easy. I'll make it for you right away. From now on, whenever you want, you can come to our Tianxianglou for dinner. I'll give you the meal for free." Xiang Xiangzi said in a charming tone again. Her plump figure leaned over involuntarily, and her white and tender hands gently touched Li Yi.

But soon.

Xiang Xiangzi felt pain and quickly withdrew her fingers.

A stream of blood spilled out.

"Girl, the armor on my body doesn't seem to like people touching it." Li Yi said.

Xiang Xiangzi looked at the leather armor on Li Yi's body. The scales on it seemed to be wriggling like living things. At first glance, it seemed as if a dragon was wrapped around Li Yi, protecting him.

"Alive?" At this time everyone began to pay attention to the armor on Li Yi.

"There is such a method of refining weapons? Why haven't I seen it before?" The bald Taoist priest came over immediately, opened his eyes wide and began to study it. He found that although the armor looked rough and barbaric, it fully brought out the value of a dragon, and the leather armor was not damaged, and the soul of the dragon was sealed.

After being worn for a long time, it becomes like a second skin under the influence of the owner's breath. It can not only repair itself but also maintain its peak performance.

As he watched, the bald Taoist started crying again.

"If I had seen this armor before the end of the law, the Daoqi Sect would have been able to add another weapon refining skill. Unfortunately, now I can only watch."

Crying, he hugged a beautiful Taoist nun nearby, seeking comfort.

"You bald donkey, you want to take advantage of me? Get out of here." The beautiful Taoist nun was immediately furious. She kicked the bald Taoist and almost turned him into a He Taoist.

Xiang Xiangzi glanced at him coldly, looking at the bald Taoist as if he were trash, without any sympathy at all.

But when she turned around and looked at Li Yi, her beautiful eyes were bright and affectionate, and she looked very charming.

“These people seem to be a little bit mentally disturbed.”

Li Yi didn't know why such an idea popped up in his mind.

　I'll update another chapter later to fill in the gaps with the leader.
