Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 69 The Beauty is Gone

Hearing this, Zhang Tiezhu was extremely excited.

"Why is Lin Xian so unusual?"

Compared to Li Ji'an, Dong Jiangling and Zhao Shuyao, Zhu Linxian and Zhang Tiezhu are the youngest, and they have the best spiritual roots.

Dong Jiangling raised his head slightly and recalled, "Ten years ago, the three of us went to the market. Sister Zhao was the first to recognize her own shortcomings, so she decided to survive first, so she went to the shop. After Lin Xian understood the potential of low-grade spiritual roots, she resolutely went to the Biyun Sect!"

"Biyun Sect! Is she... qualified to go to Biyun Sect?" Zhang Tiezhu asked in surprise.

Ten years have passed, and they are no longer rookies in the world of cultivation.

The understanding of this spiritual world has become clearer.

The place they are now in is Cangyun Province, the southernmost part of the Tiancang Realm's cultivation world. The Biyun Sect in Cangyun Province is the largest sect in this province and the only one with a Jindan Zhenren.

Among the cultivators in this world, who doesn’t want to join the Biyun Sect?
There are thousands of years of sect inheritance, countless skills and spells, many industries that have accumulated a lot of resources, and teachers who teach and answer questions.

It also represents the highest authority in Cangyun Province. Once you join the Biyun Sect, you can almost walk all over the entire Cangyun Province.

However, the sect has very high requirements for recruiting disciples.

Those under fifteen years old, with medium-grade spiritual roots, also need to be assessed on their character and comprehension, with the best being selected.

The five of them couldn't even pass the first age hurdle.

Dong Jiangling shook his head: "Of course she's not going to participate in the sect assessment, she's going to test the medicine!"

"Test the medicine!"

Zhang Tiezhu recalled that when he first arrived in this gathering area ten years ago, he heard that the Biyun Sect's branch in Lianhefang City was recruiting drug testers.

"Yes, Lin Xian's desire to seek immortality is very urgent. When she learned that the normal path has unknown potential and will definitely take a long time, she chose to become a medicine person. She learned from the Biyun Sect's branch pavilion that the Biyun Sect's Spiritual Medicine Pavilion was recruiting people to test the medicine developed by the sect's alchemist that can forcibly elevate their spiritual roots." Dong Jiangling explained.

"The results of it?"

"I later learned that testing medicines at the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, especially the medicine of that elder, can be a life-or-death experience... I always avoided such risks that were beyond my control.

I thought Lin Xian was in great danger.

Three years later, during an expedition to the ruins, I saw her again from afar, accompanied by disciples from the Biyun Sect. "Dong Jiangling recalled.

"Ah? Did the drug trial succeed? She joined the Biyun Sect!" Zhang Tiezhu was quite excited.

Dong Jiangling shook his head: "I don't know if it succeeded or if I joined the Biyun Sect."

"Then you didn't go to meet her?"

Dong Jiangling shook his head with a hint of shame: "Well, at that time... you just thought I was young and hot-headed, and didn't want my old friends to see me in such a miserable state."

"She must have joined the Biyun Sect! She has been in Jueling Land for eighteen years, and she can still sense the nine strands of spiritual rhyme from her spiritual roots. Her origin must be very good, and there must be some way to repair her spiritual roots! She must have succeeded, maybe she has already established her foundation!" Zhang Tiezhu was very excited, as if he saw his own hope.

He immediately stood up and walked outside the restaurant, eager to see Zhu Linxian and confirm it completely!
"Sister Zhao..."

However, as soon as they walked out of the restaurant, they did not see Zhu Linxian, but saw Zhao Shuyao standing alone on the street, looking straight at their table.

In fact, when Dong Jiangling mentioned Zhu Linxian, Li Ji'an had already noticed Zhao Shuyao who was silently watching him.

It had been a while, but he didn't come in, just watching from afar.

However, Li Ji'an pretended not to feel it, not wanting to reveal his spiritual perception that far surpassed Dong Jiangling and Zhang Tiezhu.

"Sister Zhao!" Dong Jiangling also stood up immediately and bowed to Zhao Shuyao.

At this moment, he found that he could finally look at Zhao Shuyao calmly.

There was a time when he did not dare to look directly at her because of his inner love and his high status as a princess of the royal family.

And at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Zhao Shuyao, who had once been the most beautiful woman in his heart, seemed... not as incomparable as he had once thought... In fact, she seemed not much different from Cui Niang.

Li Ji'an finally stood up, looked at Zhao Shuyao, and nodded slightly.

When Zhao Shuyao faced Li Ji'an's gaze, she could sense a subtle evasion and nervousness in him.

Li Ji'an sighed in his heart. His powerful spiritual consciousness had already sensed that there was no magical energy in Zhao Shuyao's body.

Not even a trace!

In fact, this can also be seen from his current appearance.

At the age of thirty-eight, without the nourishment of magical power, her skin had become dull, there were crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and the light in her eyes had faded.

In fact, Zhao Shuyao's appearance was not particularly outstanding even in the Xianci Dynasty, and the reason why she was so popular back then was mostly due to her status.

Now that he has come to the world of cultivation, he is just a mortal with extremely low spiritual roots among the countless living beings, and his martial arts roots are only slightly better.

His energy and blood made Li Ji'an raise his eyebrows slightly. It was actually stronger than his.

As he had said in his letter to Zhang Tiezhu five years ago, he gave up practicing Dharma and focused on physical practice, and even received support from his employer.

"It seems that this boss is financially sound and generous." Li Ji'an nodded secretly.

As far as he knew, the spiritual objects needed for strengthening the body and refining the blood in the late stage of the first stage were several times more than those in the middle stage. The little bit of Thunder Flame Crystal he got for free from Yan Hongsheng was worth at least more than two hundred spirit stones.

Li Ji'an is now very curious and wonders whether Zhao Shuyao can break through to the second level of physical cultivation.

Physical cultivation requires a special second-level demon core to break through to the second level!
A second-level monster beast is comparable to a human foundation-building Taoist priest, and some special second-level monster beasts are even stronger than most foundation-building Taoist priests, because some monster beasts have a chance to awaken second-level talents when they break through the second level.

Therefore, the second-level demon core is very precious here.

"Brother Li! Jiang Ling and Tiezhu." After a moment of silence, Zhao Shuyao bowed slightly and greeted the three of them.

"Sister Zhao, please sit down!" Dong Jiangling was generous and polite, no longer as attentive as before.

"Sister Zhao, have you seen Linxian? Have you received any letters from her in recent years?" Zhang Tiezhu cared more about Zhu Linxian.

Because Zhao Shuyao had often corresponded with him in the past few years, he knew that Zhao Shuyao had given up the path of Dharma practice.

"Please sit down." Li Ji'an also nodded and smiled.

After sitting down, Zhao Shuyao first answered Zhang Tiezhu's question. She also had not received any letter from Zhu Linxian since the second year.

I don’t know the news about Zhu Linxian.

He also asked about Dong Jiangling's broken arm.

The atmosphere is slightly more lively.

However, after being in close contact with the three people for a long time, evasion and inferiority still flashed on his face inadvertently.

Although Li Ji'an and the other two did not have a high level of cultivation and had not yet achieved the effect of eternal youth, and the years had left their marks on their bodies, their skin was still in good condition due to the nourishment of their magic power.

At least Li Ji'an, who is the same age as himself, looks like a man in his thirties, but his skin is very good, without wrinkles, clean and delicate, but with a more mature charm.

Instead, it becomes more charming.

And she herself is really old.

Beauty is gone, youth is gone!

"Auntie Yao, who is your dream lover? Introduce him to me!"

Just when Zhao Shuyao was already feeling uneasy, a voice as clear and playful as an oriole suddenly rang out.

Zhao Shuyao's face turned pale instantly and she stood up in panic.

"Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense. I... I don't have any dream lover."

"Aunt Yao, you are still lying. You taught me not to lie since I was a child. Humph, I will sue my mother! Let her deduct your salary." A shrewd little girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing an exquisite robe, ran in. Her eyes kept looking at Li Ji'an and the other two, and soon fixed on Li Ji'an.

"That's you!"

"Yayao..." Zhao Shuyao felt like she was being pawed by a cat, and she wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl into!
