Chapter 246 Martial Saint
"I don't need to call myself old anymore?"

Granny Sha was stunned. An overwhelming joy surged in her heart. For a moment, her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

She just said that she still had 24 years to live, and she didn't mind living one or two more years, but what if she lived five hundred more years?
What if you could go back to your younger self?

Old man, mother-in-law, these titles that were originally suitable for her are no longer applicable now!

At this time, she was in her sixties, but compared to her remaining five hundred years of life, she was still in adolescence!
The Void Realm and the Mahayana Realm, these realms that were out of reach in the past, are no longer so far away. Even if she cannot achieve the Mahayana Realm in ten years, she can still use a hundred years to break through. There is no need to rush!
She used to feel that she was old and had lost interest in anything. Old people should act like old people.

But now she suddenly realized that she was not old and she still had a lot of things to do!

By the way, I can also find a young partner and make that old Xiang Yunfei mad to death!
She walked around excitedly, and she could take out the clothes she wore when she was young and put them on. There was no need for her to dress in a way that made her look old.

Also, when she performs rituals and shakes the King Wen drum in the future, who would dare to call her a sorceress or a witch?

You have to call her goddess!

She ran to the room excitedly, rummaged through the boxes, and finally found the clothes she wore when she was young. Although they smelled musty, she put them on with great enthusiasm, jumped into the yard, and shouted, "Xiao Shi, is grandma pretty? By the way, I can't call her grandma, I have to call her aunt... No, I can't call her aunt, maybe I can hook up with an old man... Call her sister!"

Granny Sha looked serious and lifted Chen Shi up by the collar: "From now on, in front of others, especially young men, remember to call me Sister Sha, understand?"

Chen Shi nodded hurriedly.

Granny Sha put him down, still in an excited state, and it was difficult for her to wake up for a while.

Chen Shi observed that Granny Sha was indeed a great beauty when she was young. She was tall and had a good temperament, although her clothes were a little old.

“It can be seen that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will become ugly when she gets old.”

He thought to himself, "So there's no need to look for a pretty wife."

When Granny Sha calmed down, he picked another ginseng fruit and said, "Granny, take another one."

Granny Sha took it as she was told. Chen Shi asked with concern, "Will your life span be further improved?"

Granny Sha said, "You can still increase your lifespan, but not much. My lifespan is limited to 548 years."

Chen Shi pondered, "That is to say, the life-extending effect of the same spiritual herb has an upper limit. After reaching the upper limit, no matter how much you eat, it will not extend your lifespan."

Granny Sha smiled and said, "Indeed, there is such a saying. I heard that the ancestors of the noble families always took various elixirs to prolong their lives, and they could not just take one medicine all the time. This is probably the reason. Xiao Shi, how did you make the ginseng grass fruit prolong my lifespan?"

Chen Shi recounted Li Tianqing's discovery and said, "Tianqing said that it is probably because the spiritual medicine absorbed the sunlight from the ancestral land that it has the effect of prolonging life. So I planted ginseng grass outside my small temple, and used the positive energy of heaven and earth as water to irrigate them. Only when new ginseng grass fruits are produced can it have the effect of prolonging life."

Granny Sha looked at the small temple behind him and saw more than ten ginseng plants outside the small temple.

However, Chen Shi’s temple is not big, and the land outside the temple is also very small, so I’m afraid not many kinds of spiritual herbs can be grown.

"Xiao Shi, the elixir in your little temple can prolong life, so don't tell anyone else about it for now."

Granny Sha thought for a moment and said, "Your temple is small, but it has a huge impact. If the news gets out, you won't be able to protect your small temple. If there really is a Mahayana being coming to seize it, Qingyang and I won't be able to defend it. Moreover, places with spiritual medicines are often temples of Chinese gods. There are not many of these temples with spiritual medicines. If this news gets out, the few remaining temples will probably be destroyed. Moreover, if there are any strange phenomena in these temples, they will be destroyed by the outer gods. It is not advisable to cause unnecessary trouble."

Chen Shi nodded slightly.

He also did not intend to spread the news. Even if the small temple could produce elixirs that could prolong life, the output would be pitifully small, and it would also bring him great danger.

"Xiao Shi, did you take it yourself?"

Granny Sha smiled and said, "Take some yourself, it can extend your life!"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I don't need it. I have a long life."

Granny Sha laughed and said, "Can anyone live longer than me?"

Chen Shi knew his lifespan very well, and said, "I still have 1,300 years to live."

Granny Sha was silent for a long time, then asked, "How did you practice?"

Chen Shi told Li Tianqing about his and Li Tianqing's discovery. When Granny Sha heard that she had to abandon her cultivation and find an ancient Chinese temple to practice from scratch, she couldn't help but frown.

Li Tianqing discarded his golden elixir and started practicing from scratch to verify this idea. It can be said that he risked his life and showed great courage.

Granny Sha is already at the Spirit Refining Realm, one of the top figures in the world. If she were to abandon her cultivation and start over again, the danger would be even greater. She might even die in the process.

——The higher your cultivation level, the greater the danger of losing it.

"I have extended my life span by more than 500 years. If I cannot cultivate to the Mahayana stage within these 500 years, I will not be able to cultivate to the Mahayana stage even if I extend my life by 1,000 years."

She was very open-minded and said with a smile, "There is no difference between five hundred years old and a thousand years old, so let's not make a fuss about it. I'm going to the county town to buy some new clothes."

Chen Shi was also going to the county town, so he went with them.

After Grandma Sha became younger, she refused to ride in a car and insisted on walking so that passers-by on the road could see her graceful figure.

"My mother-in-law's temper changed after she became younger. She used to be too lazy to walk." Chen Shi thought to himself.

"Mother-in-law, Uncle Qingyang and Uncle Hu took the ginseng grass fruit. Did it work?"

Granny Sha shook her head: "Qingyang can't do that. Qingyang is already dead. His life span has long been written off. The ginseng fruit has no effect on him. Lao Hu might be able to do that. Before Lao Hu died, your grandfather created a ghost realm for him. I don't know if he is dead or not. If he is dead, then taking the ginseng fruit will be ineffective."

Chen Shi's face was gloomy. If Qingyang and the bearded man were ineffective, then his grandfather's ginseng and grass fruit would also be ineffective.

"Your grandfather may live longer."

Granny Sha said, "He faked his death and escaped. His soul never left his body. Later, because of the evil and demonic nature of the moon, there was a risk of him becoming a demon, so he hid in the underworld. His body is a corpse-reincarnated immortal, and it was in the underworld in his physical body. Maybe the ginseng grass fruit will be effective on him."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Where is Grandpa's Yuanchen Palace? I'll send it to him!"

Granny Sha said quickly, "Just be quiet for a while! Your grandfather finally managed to rescue you from the underworld, but you're going to send yourself there! You're still far from strong enough now, so don't go to the underworld and cause trouble."

Chen Shi thought about it and felt that Grandma Sha was right, so he gave up the idea.

Granny Sha heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't mention it anymore. She thought to herself, "If Xiao Shi ran to the underworld and saw his grandfather standing on the green ghost hand with the other end of the green ghost hand inserted into his chest, I wonder what would happen?"

She imagined that scene and it gave her a headache, so she simply stopped thinking about it. They arrived in Xinxiang County, Granny Sha went to buy new clothes, and Chen Shi came to Juxian Tower. When Shao Jing heard that he was coming, he hurried to see him and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we last parted! Fortunately, you have fulfilled your mission. The resurrection pills you consigned last time have been sold out."

He took out a small wooden box containing banknotes, placed it on the table, and said, "This is the remaining 100,000 taels of silver."

Chen Shi asked for advice: "Brother Shao, I haven't spent all the money I got last time, and I still have 100,000 taels. I am a child from a poor family, and I am afraid that so much money will be wasted. Brother Shao, please tell me how to manage this money?"

Shao Jing smiled and said, "How can cultivators have endless silver for cultivation? Two hundred thousand taels of silver is a lot, but refining the golden elixir costs money, so does refining the Nascent Soul, and transforming the spirit! The descent of the gods and offering sacrifices to the true gods also cost a lot of money! Refining the Void, merging the body, and beheading the three corpses, which one doesn't cost money? These two hundred thousand taels of silver are only enough for you to cultivate to the fusion stage, and then it will be spent. Beheading the three corpses is also a lot of money, and then you will think the money is not enough."

Chen Shi didn't understand this, and said, "I have already achieved Nascent Soul stage, and I didn't spend any money, but I made a lot."

Shao Jing asked in confusion, "Before you cultivated to the Golden Core, didn't you buy some elixirs to strengthen your body? Before you cultivated to the Nascent Soul, didn't you buy some great medicine? These two things alone cost several thousand taels of silver. And you also have to buy spirit beast meat for daily consumption and refining. Although it's not much, it still costs a lot every month."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I have never taken these. I just let nature take its course and cultivated to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage."

"You are too talented. The noble families consume thousands of taels of silver every day for the Peiyuan Pills and Guben Pills. The spiritual pills are also calculated by the cartload."

Shao Jing said, "If you don't know what to do with these 200,000 taels of silver, you might as well buy good farmland and hire tenants to work for you. The harvest from the good farmland is the profit generated by the 200,000 taels of silver, which is enough to provide for your daily cultivation expenses. When you need money, sell these good farmlands. Although the price of good farmland has risen and fallen, the difference is not big."

Chen Shi looked around and said, "Was Juxianlou founded by Brother Shao?"

Shao Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "My father built it. He spent 30 years to run it and barely established himself in Xinxiang Province."

Chen Shi took out a small wooden box, took out another 100,000 taels of silver from the box, and pushed it in front of him together with the cash box.

Shao Jing looked at him suspiciously, quite puzzled.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "To be honest, I have a few more people under me, and I need money for daily expenses, but I don't know how to manage it, so I came to see Brother Shao."

Shao Jing looked at the banknotes and said, "So, you want me to take care of the money?"

Chen Shi nodded gently and said, "There are also Luban Sect and Hongshan Hall Talisman Master Association. They also receive a sum of money every year and need someone to take care of it."

Shao Jing had heard of the Luban Sect and the Hongshan Hall Talisman Master Association, and was moved and said, "I never thought that these two sects would be my business! If you want to help manage the money, I have a few accountants under me..."

Chen Shi smiled slightly, took out a self-made Heavenly Court token, pushed it in front of him, and said with a smile: "Although our organization is very lazy, it is also very secretive and we don't want outsiders to know about it. Now we are in need of an accountant, and I hope Brother Shao can be our accountant."

Shao Jing looked at the strange token, took it in his hand and looked at it, and said, "May I ask what this organization is called?"

"Heaven."

Shao Jing's hand trembled and the token fell on the table.

Chen Shi looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

Shao Jing picked up the token tremblingly, but failed to catch it several times.

Heaven!

This name is too grand, it's obvious that it's a rebellion!

And it is a rebellion against the true God outside the sky!
Chen Shi said: "We are very idle in the Heavenly Court. There are only more than ten people at present. We are not rebelling. It doesn't matter if you don't want to agree. I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Shao Jing shuddered, thinking of all the rumors about Chen Shi, and the generations of county magistrates and governors who had died in Xinxiang. Now Chen Shi was like a local emperor in Xinxiang, and even the governor of Xinxiang was respectful to him.

There are also reports about Chen Shi coming from Gongzhou and Yudu. How cruel is he? He is simply brutal!
Not long ago, a caravan from Niandu brought news that Chen Shi had killed more than a thousand cultivators in Niandu, and even a large number of masters in the Spirit Transformation Realm had died.

The caravan said that the old devil was most likely refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"I...I join!" Shao Jing gritted his teeth.

Chen Shi was very happy and said with a smile: "From now on, we are family! Your code name from now on is Accountant! In addition to you, we also have code names such as Tiangong, Yutu, and Dianshi."

Shao Jing calmed down and asked, "What's your code name?"

"True King."

Shao Jing's face turned pale, and he thought to himself: "Sure enough, he is going to rebel!"

Chen Shi roughly explained the structure of the Heavenly Court and the code names of each person. There was not much work in the accounting office, just managing money. If people in the Heavenly Court needed to refine treasures, go on expeditions, build temples, etc., they could come to him to withdraw money.

When Chen Shi left the Juxian Tower, he met Granny Sha who was walking in after buying clothes. She seemed to be in her early twenties, tall, with light makeup on. She had a bun on her head that was tilted to one side. There was a golden hairpin inserted among her black hair, and the bun was covered with a pearl and jade face flower. Next to it was a flowery hairpin with a ruby ​​in the middle.

Her clothes were simple and elegant. She wore a white vertical collar shirt on the upper body, and a layer of light grass green gauze with silver stripes and tassels on the outside. She wore a red long skirt inside, with the tips of her shoes barely showing. When she walked, it was as if she was walking on red clouds.

"My grandmother is so pretty!"

Chen Shi secretly praised in his heart, "This is what you should burn for grandpa."

When the two of them returned to the village, Granny Sha still did not take a ride and walked all the way without touching the ground.

When they were almost at Gangzi Village, another paper crane flapped its wings and flew over and landed on Chen Shi's arm.

Chen Shi unfolded the letter and read it. It was from Li Tianqing. The wording in the letter was chosen carefully, but the tone was somewhat urgent.

The letter said that the ancient temple where he was located seemed to have a spirit awakening, but it was difficult to gather incense and burn, so no god could be formed. Moreover, there were evil spirits in the temple, with swords and sabers flashing, which was very scary.

It was bearable before, but in recent days, there were often bloodstains and knife marks on the walls of the temple, getting closer and closer to Li Tianqing's neck, which was very dangerous.

Li Tianqing was worried about his own life, and was also concerned that the temple was haunted by evil spirits and would affect the concentration of the gods, so he asked Chen Shi if he could go there before the New Year.

"Qing has found the plaque of this temple. It is the Temple of the God of Wealth. The deity in the temple is called Guandijun. Please come quickly. Qing is looking forward to it."

Chen Shi turned to the back of the letter, on which was a geographical map drawn by Li Tianqing, showing the location of the Guandi Temple.

"The God of Wealth, Guan Sheng Emperor?"

Chen Shi closed the letter and said happily, "I just found the accountant, and Tianqing sent the God of Wealth. It shows that the Heavenly Palace must be full of wealth!"
