Douluo: Xiu Xuanjun seven chapters, become the compassionate medicine king!

Chapter 24: Immortal Slave (asking for monthly ticket)
"Mr. Huyan, why are you here?"

"I came here for immortality."

Lu Chun had heard this answer too many times. The Douling Emperor was like this, those who had reached the end of their lifespan were like this, and so was Hu Yanchen in front of him.

"Short life" is so terrifying, it is an inevitable disaster for all life. The instinct of life will drive them to escape it at all costs, just to exist longer.

Everyone knows that the Douling Emperor was frantically pursuing the remedy for immortality in his later years, spending countless financial and human resources on this end, making the entire Douling Empire a chaotic place.

However, he suddenly came to power again and appointed a man of unknown origin as the imperial teacher. He also supported a god named Plenty to replace the god of the sea.

These abnormal behaviors cannot escape the scrutiny of others, who will take the initiative to study the reasons behind these behaviors.

Soon, the news that the Douling Emperor had been looking radiant and younger and more energetic in recent days was discovered by someone, and then accidentally leaked to the outside world, attracting a large number of half-buried old creatures to gather in Douling City.

Who is this careless person?
Glancing at the bloodstains still on the ground, Lu Chun sighed slightly.

Your Majesty, are you so anxious?

The appetite of the ginseng fruit tree far exceeded Lu Chun's expectations. As it grew, it needed more and more blood food. At the beginning, it only took hundreds of ordinary people and some low-level soul masters to help it sprout, but now it has been the third time to feed it, and the soul master has to join in.

You must know that although the Soul Sect is only at the fourth ring, it is a watershed. Eighty percent of soul masters will never be able to break through to the Soul Sect in their lifetime. It is the backbone and future of a force. Even as a country, the Douluo Empire only has a few thousand Soul Sects.

Even if all these thousands of Soul Sect members were to throw in, they would not be able to complete the transformation of the ginseng fruit tree.

In order to collect the blood food for future transformation, the Douling Emperor has secretly manipulated the frontier border to cause a conflict with the Xingluo Empire, and is also secretly cleaning out those nobles and officials who he had long wanted to eliminate.

I thought this was the only thing he could do, but I didn't expect that there was such an arrangement behind the scenes.

That's right. A large number of ordinary people and low-level soul masters are not only difficult to transport but also easily cause some unnecessary trouble. In comparison, the benefits of doing so are obvious.

Lu Chun didn't know what the emperors of other empires were like, but he felt that there might not be many like Emperor Dou Ling throughout history.

Is he really crazy?

With this in mind, Lu Chun looked back at Hu Yanchen in front of him.

Seeing that pair of unique eyes, Hu Yanchen, who had hundreds of years of rich experience, actually felt uneasy for the first time in a long time at this moment.

Now he is like a prisoner on trial, waiting for the final verdict.

In fact, with his status and strength, he didn't need to be so servile when facing Lu Chun, the national teacher.

However, in his eyes, he was not facing the national teacher Lu Chun, but the pharmacist Lu Chun. The two different identities represented completely different attitudes from others.

He has lived too long and has used various methods to prolong his life. His life span is nearly two hundred years, which is longer than many Titled Douluo, but he still cannot die. If he dies, what will happen to the Elephant Armor Sect that has spent thousands of years to rise again!
He had no face to face the many ancestors of the Xiangjia Sect!

So he had to seek the method of immortality from Lu Chun.

"So is it instinct or obsession?" Lu Chun said something that Huyan Chen couldn't understand, and then said calmly: "Want to live forever? Of course." Such a casual sentence made Huyan Chen's heartbeat suddenly slow down, and all the prepared words were stuck in his throat and couldn't be spit out.

After a long while, he stammered, "Really...really?"

Lu Chun looked at him strangely: "Is this fake?"

Not long after, Hu Yanchen's burly figure rushed out from the path and headed quickly towards the city gate.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of many hidden eyes changed constantly. Some of them disappeared in the crowd, while the remaining ones were still staring at Lu Chun who came out of the path one step later.

Noticing these gazes, Lu Chun stood up and smiled at them: "Whatever you want, come to my mansion at midnight three days later, and I will give it to you."

After saying that, he asked Herald to continue driving the carriage towards the mansion.

Those eyes did not follow, and after looking at each other, they all looked away.

In a restaurant in the outer city, a dozen young-looking but decadent people gathered together. If anyone with insight saw this, he would surely be shocked.

Because these people were all powerful figures who became famous within the past three hundred years, and many of them had not appeared for hundreds of years, people suspected that they might have passed away long ago. However, this suspicion was directly overturned at this time. They did not die, but lived to this day using various methods to prolong their life.

Many of them were sworn enemies when they were young, but now they can sit together and drink tea and talk calmly.

"Hu Yanchen was caught?" someone asked.

"No, they are just a bunch of rats who are not up to par. Diamond Mammoth is a top-notch martial spirit after all. Even if it has declined before, it is not something a bunch of rats can do to it. He broke through the encirclement of several Soul Saints and disappeared."

"Haha, why didn't you chase after old ghost Zhu Yun? I remember that the Elephant Armor Sect and the Niqiaoyun Sect had the biggest hatred, right? Aren't you afraid that he will gain immortality and come back to trouble you?" Someone said happily to an old man wearing a red robe with bird patterns next to him.

In response to this person's provocation, Zhu Yun calmly said, "I am already this old, why should I care about the trivial matters of the sect? If it is destroyed, then it will be destroyed.

"Besides, it's not certain whether he really got the elixir of immortality. I don't think anyone in this world would hand over such a precious thing so easily."

"Heh, that's what I thought before the Church of Plenty came to my territory."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun's hand holding the teacup froze, and the people around him burst into laughter.

"So you really want to go to the invitation of the national teacher, or the pharmacist?"

"Go! Why not? This is the closest opportunity to immortality, how can you not go? Even if you know it may contain poison, will you not eat it?"

"We are the first batch, and we won't be the last. There are more than a few dying old guys like us. Just like those rats, whether we like it or not, we are pushed out to be tested!"

Everyone present was about to die and had experienced everything. The news that there was a method of immortality in Douling City reached their ears directly. How could they not know that there was something wrong? But even if they knew this, they still came.

They are gambling, betting that there really is a secret to immortality. If they don’t bet now, they may not have another chance. Whether they win or lose, they are going to give it their all in this one gamble!
Everyone here is a gambler and also a crazy immortal slave!
　The last few chapters were difficult to write because I only had a rough outline but no detailed one. As a result, I didn’t know what to write about the plot in the middle. I couldn’t write too much or too little. It was so difficult!
