Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 193 5 Extreme Longevity

Chapter 193 Five Hundred Years of Life

Send a book?

Senior Sister Yao?
Li Rui's mind worked quickly and he immediately figured out what had happened.

After Yao Xue left Qinghe.

I would write to him from time to time, and Li Rui would reply to every letter.

After all, he had heard that the owner of Wenxian Tower had become the new supervisor, and the old Taoist priest Zhang Gu and his two disciples had moved into the imperial city.

note.

It is the imperial city, not the capital.

The only people who could live in the imperial city were the royal family, palace maids and eunuchs. The fact that Yao Xue and the other two could live in the imperial city showed how much favor the emperor had for the owner of Wenxian Tower.

Of course you have to hold on to such thighs tightly, and you must reply to the letters they write.

Li Rui looked at the book in the young man's hand.

"Fairy Spirit"

Dumb.

In the letter, Li Rui once used the idea of seeking immortals and asking for the way as an excuse to try to learn more about immortality and the fairyland from Yao Xue.

After all, the books in the An Ningwei armory are just scattered travel notes, and their nature is no different from myths.

But Wenxianlou is very different. It is a sect specifically formed for the purpose of seeking immortality, and it must have done some research on this.

Moreover, Yao Xue must have learned much more than him when she went to the Imperial Observatory, and the human resources were there.

did not expect.

Yao Xue actually asked someone to bring the book to him from the capital.

Xianqi Yin, as the name suggests, is a book about immortality.

"Thank you, Master Fu."

"It's just a small favor. Senior Sister Yao asked me to say hello to you on her behalf."

"Miss Yao is thoughtful."

Li Rui smiled faintly.

It seems that Yao Xue's inner demon has been completely eradicated, otherwise she would definitely not dare to interact with this inner demon for too long.

Taking the book with both hands, Li Rui invited Fu Huan into the house: "Master Fu, it's very cold at night, come in and have a cup of hot tea."

"Well, sorry to bother you."

Fu Huan is a quiet person and instinctively wants to refuse.

But Li Rui was someone Yao Xue had personally ordered, so he couldn't just turn him down on their first meeting.

The owner of Wenxian Tower is now his owner, and the three people in Wenxian Tower have also become very important in the Imperial Observatory, so he has to take them seriously.

Go into the house.

Li Rui personally brewed a pot of tea for Fu Huan.

Wisps of white smoke rose from the teacup.

Fu Huan took a sip and his eyes lit up: "Good tea!"

It is not astringent at first, but a slightly sweet taste appears on the tip of the tongue afterwards. It is not as sweet as white sugar or brown sugar, but it is refreshing.

It was very different from the tea he drank in the capital.

Li Rui laughed and said, "As long as Master Fu likes it, it's just some local wild tea."

Wild tea?

of course not.

If wild tea could earn the attention of Si Chen, a man from the capital who had seen a lot of the world and had come from the Imperial Observatory, the tea pickers in Qinghe would have become rich overnight and would no longer have to go hungry one day.

He specially got this tea from southern Xinjiang.

The journey from southern Xinjiang to the capital is long, and the goods were usually transported out as tribute.

Unless you are a prince of the royal family in the capital, you may not be able to drink this tea.

Li Rui was able to get some because of his close geographical location, and he used them specifically to entertain people coming from the north.

If you want to entertain people well, you should do the writing well in normal times.

Collect more on a daily basis so that you won’t be at a loss when the time comes.

With so many methods, there will always be a time when they will come in handy.

I’m just afraid that you’ll run out of tricks.

The more Fu Huan drank, the more he liked it. Before he knew it, the cup was empty.

He was a little embarrassed.

For people of noble status, drinking tea actually requires a sip of it. Tea tasting is not the same as drinking it, so how can one gulp down the tea like those vulgar country people?

Too indecent.

Fu Huan was born into a noble family, and he himself felt that such behavior was disrespectful.

Of course Li Rui noticed the abnormality on Fu Huan's face, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled and poured another glass of wine as if nothing had happened.

"Young man."

It was obvious at first glance that Fu Huan was an alchemist who stayed in the Imperial Observatory all year round to study alchemy and rarely went out.

Not very worldly-wise.

Li Rui then spoke: "Master Fu, is there a demon riot in Qinghe this time?"

Fu Huan shook his head: "Lord Li is also from the An Ning Guard, so I won't hide it from you. I came here because of your army's defense of Gao Zhen."

Li Rui quickly stopped him: "This is confidential, Master Fu, you don't have to tell me."

"Master Li is truly a man of great righteousness."

Fu Huan couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Li Rui.

Not many people can maintain their curiosity.

He knew that the entire An Ning Guard was now focused on Gao Zhen's matter, and they all wanted to know the details of the case.

On the one hand, it is indeed a major event for An Ning Wei. On the other hand, if Gao Zhen is really dead, many interests will be involved.

Fu Huan is not very worldly-wise, but he is very intelligent.

I couldn't help but look up to this old man Li Rui.

Li Rui then turned to talk to Fu Huan about the Wenxian Tower.

He might be the only person in Anningwei who didn't care about the details of Gao Zhen's case.

He was the one who murdered Gao Zhen.

You know nothing.

It is enough to know that Cao Wei and others are still investigating.

Compared with the case, Fu Huan didn't feel much pressure when talking about the Imperial Observatory and the Wenxian Tower.

The Imperial Observatory was mysterious to the outside world because the alchemists of the Imperial Observatory rarely showed up in front of outsiders, and there was actually nothing to keep secret. The Wenxian Tower had now become a well-known sect, no longer the hidden sect it once was.

There is nothing to hide.

If you just treat it as a casual chat, the atmosphere will naturally become relaxed.

This is a common thing for Fu Huan.

But to Li Rui, all of this was very strange.

His knowledge of the Imperial Observatory was limited to what he saw on paper. This time, he finally met an official from the Imperial Observatory, and because of Yao Xue's relationship, he was willing to talk to him more. Of course, he would not miss such an opportunity.

"Sir Li, the Imperial Observatory is actually not as mysterious as you say."

"It's nothing more than a clever use of martial arts, except that martial artists focus on using true qi to kill, while alchemists are more inclined to use true qi to move heaven and earth, imitating the methods of ancient cultivators."

When talking about ancient cultivators, Fu Huan's face was full of longing.

The ancient spiritual energy has not completely dissipated, and the gates to the fairyland are wide open.

A ninth-grade cultivator can call upon the Qi of heaven and earth, unlike now, where one must reach the seventh-grade Willow Tendon before one can cultivate a martial arts Qi similar to the Qi of cultivation on one’s own.

Moreover, the true Qi cultivated by oneself cannot be compared with the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth in terms of quantity.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

"Does the Imperial Observatory have any method to achieve longevity?"

He was talking about longevity, not immortality.

Because he knew that there was no way to achieve immortality in the world. If there was, there would not be so many emperors in the Yu Kingdom, but only one.

Fu Huan shook his head:

"Lifespan is determined by heaven, there is no remedy for longevity in the world."

Li Rui: "Why do you say that, Master Fu? I don't think there are many health-preserving exercises in the martial arts world."

Fu Huan shook his head again:
"Strengthening the body to prolong life is a fallacy of ordinary people. The predecessors of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory once conducted an experiment. A mortal who does not practice martial arts, even if he nourishes himself with the best elixirs and strengthens his body with the best health-preserving exercises, can only live for 200 years at most. This is the maximum lifespan of ordinary people."

"We warriors can extend our lifespans because our true qi can reverse our fate. This is how we can extend our lifespans."

"But now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dissipated, the power of one person is ultimately limited. Living for 500 years is the maximum lifespan for a warrior."

"The exercises cannot increase longevity. What can increase longevity is actually the true qi. It is related to the exercises, but it is not the main reason."

Li Rui suddenly felt curious.

It is worthy of being called the Imperial Observatory. It actually turned such a mysterious thing into an experiment in the previous life and made it into something theoretical.

"Five hundred years is the ultimate longevity."

Listening to Fu Huan's words, Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

Once they enter the Willow Tendon, the average warrior can increase his lifespan by fifty years.

After entering the Dragon Gate, your life span will be extended by another half a century.

The average lifespan of a Longmen warrior is a terrifying three decades.

Li Rui could even live for over two hundred years in one breath.

For ordinary people, this is equivalent to living a second life.

But life span does not increase indefinitely, nor does it even increase at an accelerated rate.

A first-grade supreme being can only live for 500 years. This is obviously because when he first obtains true qi, the life-extending effect is more obvious. As time goes by, the effect is actually not that strong.

But Li Rui vaguely felt that Changchun Gong was a little different.

It seems to be able to break the limit of lifespan.

As they chatted, the two talked about Qu Chengfeng again.

"Master Fu, I wonder how Brother Qu is doing now, and whether the Ghost Sect has left any harm behind?"

Speaking of Qu Chengfeng.

There was actually admiration in Fu Huan's eyes:

"Master Li, you may not know that Junior Brother Qu is a rare genius in the art of alchemy that is rarely seen in the Imperial Observatory for a thousand years. He may be the next director."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

A genius in alchemy?

This was completely different from the impression he had of Qu Chengfeng. Although they had only known each other for a short time, Li Rui thought he was a pretty good judge of people. How could such a mediocre and dissolute boy suddenly change so drastically?
Weird!

It is understood that Qu Chengfeng entered the eighth rank when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, which is not bad, but compared with the heroes of the world, he is not really a genius.

But it was strange that Fu Huan, a seventh-rank official and a descendant of an aristocratic family, actually admired Qu Chengfeng, an eighth-rank official.

Fu Huan saw the doubt in Li Rui's eyes and explained:
"Master Li, you don't know that after Junior Brother Qu encountered a great disaster, he became like a new person. Even the Supervisor has a favorable eye for him."

"Once in a thousand years is the evaluation given by the Lord Supervisor."

Once in a thousand years.
You have to know that it has only been a few thousand years since the establishment of the State of Yu.

Doesn't this mean that Qu Chengfeng's qualifications can be ranked among the top three in the history of the Yu State?

That's a bit too scary.

"What kind of adventure did Qu Chengfeng experience?"

Unconsciously, I expressed the doubts in my heart.

Fu Huan was also very curious about this.

But I only heard that after Qu Chengfeng returned, he forgot everything that happened during those days when he was missing.

After the inspection, the supervisor did not say anything.

The two chatted for a while and it was getting dark.

Only then did Fu Huan say goodbye and leave.

Li Rui saw Fu Huan out the door and then returned to the room.
