I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 202: Making a deal with the art of immortality!
The turbulent lake surface and the siege by the two great masters...lasted for a long time.

Finally, even Guang Chanzi joined the battle.

The battle was declared over only when Chenxi was knocked into the water and his blood dyed the water area for dozens of meters red.

"Go and retrieve the body."

wow~
Guang Chanzi climbed onto the sampan with great effort, and regardless of his wet clothes, he lay directly on the deck, looking at the bright moon in the sky with an almost crazy smile.

"Jin Xiaotang, I've had enough of you in my life!"

"I was also a genius, but your brilliance is simply too dazzling. It overshadowed me... It was like this when I was a child, and it's still like this when I grow up. Even if you made me the Imperial Master... so what? Whenever the high-ranking officials of the Changsheng Sect report to me, they always praise the Immortal Queen... Everyone thinks of me as your shadow. I've endured it for hundreds of years..."

"Hehe, now that you're gone, I can finally be a real chess player!"

Guang Chanzi was talking to himself, his eyes bloodshot.

Even if Chenxi agreed to do anything for Guang Chanzi, Guang Chanzi would not let her go.

Today's invitation to reminisce is nothing more than an excuse to kill someone.

After all, the reason why Guang Chanzi was able to succeed was that he took advantage of his elder sister's love for him.

He knew this very well.

The eldest sister had always taken great care of him, almost granting his every request. From childhood to adulthood, she even risked her life to protect her younger brother.

Without the morning light, there would be no Guang Chanzi.

Thinking of this, Guang Chanzi suddenly burst into tears, and her smile turned into sobs, "My elder sister, I know you are good to me... I am especially grateful to you. But, I really can't help it.

Every time you treat me well, I feel like you are giving me charity. Only when you die can you truly treat me well."

He slowly sat up and reached out to wipe away his tears. "To restore the great cause of the Changsheng Sect, I have endured and planned for a hundred years. Now the time has come to reap the fruits. I can no longer be anyone's shadow. I can only inconvenience you, elder sister."

But don't worry, I will burn money for you every year. I will also burn the magic of immortality in the underworld for you. After all, only in the underworld can you truly achieve immortality."

"hey-hey……"

As he cried, Guang Chanzi started to laugh again.

Sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, changing over and over again... acting crazy and mad, it's scary to watch.

Just then——

Wow!

Two bald heads emerged from the water.

One is a tall, dark-skinned Fadu, and the other is a short, white-skinned Fayuan. Both are masters of the martial arts master level.

Guang Chanzi immediately resumed his aloof demeanor, looking calm and composed. "Where's the body?"

The tall Fadu wiped the weeds from his forehead and said, "There's an undercurrent surging underground, and the water is flowing very fast. It might have been washed downstream."

Guang Chanzi thought to himself that these two were useless and wanted to slap them to death, but on the surface he acted like a master and said, "Go find them immediately. Make sure you find the body."

"Yes!"

The two bald men immediately dived into the water and continued to search for the body.

Guang Chanzi's face also showed a bit of panic.

Others may not understand Jin Xiaotang, but Guang Chanzi knows it all too well... Jin Xiaotang pioneered the art of refining corpses and souls. Although it can't be considered a means of immortality, it is a magical art that can save lives.

Guang Chanzi felt uneasy because he didn't see Jin Xiaotang's body.

"First, he was hit by the Bloodthirsty Powder, then his internal organs were severely damaged, and he stopped breathing. He should be dead... But I still need to see his body to feel at ease."

Thinking of this, Guang Chanzi didn't think any more about it. He simply bandaged the wounds on his body, then drove the sampan out of the water. As soon as he got ashore, a figure came up to him and knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Owner."

If Xie An were here to see the appearance of this man prostrating himself on the ground, he would probably be shocked. This man looked exactly like Guang Chanzi, even the scars on his face were the same.

Even a martial arts master would find it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

The Heavenly Father who was so majestic in front of outsiders was now as humble as an ant in front of Guang Chanzi. Even when he kowtowed on the ground, he couldn't help but tremble.

Guang Chanzi glanced at the trembling Heavenly Father on the ground and felt very satisfied. "What's the matter?"

The Heavenly Father took out a blueprint and held it above his head with both hands, "Master, please take a look."

Ok?
Guang Chanzi was shocked after seeing the blueprint. "Where did it come from?"

Because Guang Chanzi didn't let Tianfu get up, Tianfu didn't dare to get up, so he knelt on the ground and told the whole story. However, he emphasized his role in the incident.

Guang Chanzi glanced at the Heavenly Father and said, "Well done. Get up."

The Heavenly Father breathed a sigh of relief and finally stood up, but he still kept his head bowed and his back bent, afraid to show any disrespect. "I have been a member of the Holy Church for many years, and I know from the notes that the Holy Church has two great treasures. Could this be the Holy Church's most precious treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Box?"

Guang Chanzi glanced at Tianfu and said, "It should be. Go find out Liu Mu's background and where he lives. Then take Chi Lian and Hei Shui with you to get this thing back."

Heavenly Father agreed, "Yes. I'll arrange it right away."

After saying goodbye to Guang Chanzi, the Heavenly Father walked to a deserted place and immediately put away his respectful expression, with a look of resentment and indignation on his face.

"Hehe, I got such a good thing...why would I give it to you? At worst, I can find a deserted place to ask for help from the gods."

The Heavenly Father’s smile was very sinister and cruel.

Many years ago, he was just a simple villager from outside Nanyang Prefecture. One day, a missionary came into the village, saw him, and gave him ten taels of silver, promising to take him to learn martial arts.

Although Tianfu wanted to learn martial arts, he was a filial son and therefore refused the missionaries' invitation. However, not long after, the missionaries came with a group of martial artists and massacred the entire village.

Even the old mother of Heavenly Father was slaughtered.

From then on, Heavenly Father was arrested.

He was thrown into a dark cell and subjected to inhumane treatment all day long. He was asked to learn to read and write, and to imitate someone's tone of voice and living habits.

The Heavenly Father was extremely frightened, and because he had been whipped so many times, he did not dare to refuse and instead learned from him.

Later, Heavenly Father found out that the person the missionary wanted him to imitate was actually Guang Chanzi, the national teacher of the previous dynasty... Later, he slowly became a martial artist and also became Guang Chanzi's shadow.

He deliberately showed obedience, fear and obedience to Guang Chanzi, but in his heart he never forgot the revenge of Guang Chanzi for killing his mother.

Later, he learned how powerful Guang Chanzi was.

I gave up the idea of ​​revenge. I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and get away.

Now, the appearance of this magical treasure gave him the opportunity to reap huge benefits.

Back on the black-sailed boat on Hongze Lake, Heavenly Father made arrangements, "Chilian, Heishui. Prepare to seize this item. Chilian, go find Brother Liu Mu again soon and ask him to come here. Tell him that Heavenly Father wants to grant him the secret of immortality."

Chi Lian said: "Yes."

……

Qingwu County.

Demon Suppression Division, Southeast Branch.

Xie An had returned to his youthful appearance and body. He closed the door and sat in the yard drinking tea.

It has become Xie An's daily routine to hang out at the Demon Suppression Division every day.

After Chen Tie and Zhao Qing'er were dismissed from their posts, they each lived in their own homes in Qingwu County and no longer came here. When Xie An came here, he couldn't even find anyone to talk to, and he was very uncomfortable.

But because of his responsibility, Xie An had to come.

However, Xie An only came to greet him briefly each time and never asked about the affairs of the Demon Suppression Division. Every time Zhou Xuan sent some documents to the Southeast Branch, Xie An signed them and then asked Liu Chun to pass them to Zhou Xuan.

He became a hands-off boss.

This made Zhou Xuan, Zhu Kun, Liu Qian and others relax their guard greatly.

Gradually, everyone in the Demon Suppression Division thought that Xie An's position as the chief was being sidelined, and not many people took Xie An seriously, so the division became much quieter.

Fortunately, Xie An didn't care about such empty face-saving projects as having a large number of visitors. Such a leisurely life was quite nice.

All he had to do was help the princess capture Guang Chanzi and Li Hao, and he would get the title of Duke and a second-rank official position.

that's enough.

As for official affairs, Xie An wished there were as little as possible.

This way you can have plenty of time to practice, study and enjoy life.

Although Xie An knew that the documents Zhou Xuan handed over would definitely contain some flaws and that signing and stamping them would be risky and he might have to bear the responsibility, but Xie An had already discussed it with the princess, so it was fine.

Gulu!

Xie An took a sip of tea and leaned back in the Drunkard's Chair, revealing a very relaxed expression. He stroked the white fox's soft fur with both hands and asked, "Xiaobai, do you think this can be accomplished, Big Brother?"

The white fox said with certainty: "That's for sure."

Xie An was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

The white fox said, "If you fail, how can I enjoy the delicious food and spicy drinks in the future?"

Xie An was speechless. He had hoped the white fox would provide some emotional value to help him dispel some of the tension in his body, but he didn't want his efforts to be in vain. This guy was just a foodie.

I think about eating everything.

Can't count on...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xie An went to open the door and found that it was Ye Luo who came in. "Master Ye, you are here so late at night, is there something wrong?"

Ye Luo sighed softly and said, "Huang Silang woke up, but was taken away by Zhu Kunchasi. And then a few moments later... Huang Silang died. Oh, I didn't do what Chief Xie asked me to do."

Xie An was not surprised by this.

Since Chen Tie and his men left, the Demon Suppression Division has been controlled solely by Li Hao's faction, and even Xie An, the Chief Director, has been sidelined. It's no surprise that Zhu Kun and his men did anything.

I think Huang Silang knew something about the monster. If Zhao Qing'er had taken over, she might have been able to get something out of him. But he was silenced by Zhu Kun...

Thinking of this, Xie An comforted Ye Luo, "It's okay. Huang Silang deserved to die anyway, so it's better for him to die." "Thank you, General Director, for your understanding." Ye Luo thanked him and then said, "Ah, the Demon Suppression Bureau is really a mess now. Everyone is fawning over each other and saying polite words. You can't hear a single sincere word. It's really boring. Deputy General Director Zhou Xuan is very dissatisfied with me. I guess I won't be able to keep this job for long."

Xie An welcomed Ye Luo in for tea, and after a chat he learned the reason.

It turned out that Zhou Xuan needed the pharmacy to expand the supply of Nei Jin Pills and other things, but Ye Luo strictly followed the rules and embarrassed Zhou Xuan many times.

"Hey, the Demon Suppression Bureau is boring now. It's completely different from when the General was in charge..."

Xie An said: "I'm sorry, Master Ye, I can't do anything about it."

Xie An was telling the truth.

In the past few months, many Demon Suppression Guards felt that Xie An's official position had come to an end, and they inevitably ignored him a lot.

Only Liu Chun and Ye Luo treated Xie An as usual, which made Xie An feel relieved.

Ye Luo also comforted Xie An, "I know that compared to my difficulties, the General Manager's is the most difficult. You are the one who has been wronged."

Xie An simply smiled and encouraged each other.

In fact, Xie An didn't feel wronged at all.

The one who is about to reach the end is not himself, but Li Hao.

As for the reason... it's simple.

Although the Prince of Huainan colluded with the Changsheng Sect of the previous dynasty and the Four Old Demons, they had no chance of winning, after all, the eldest princess had the imperial court behind her.

How many people who have rebelled since ancient times have succeeded?

In the end, they all became cold corpses.

However, Xie An also had some questions.

I know it myself, how could the King of Huainan not know it?

Why do this?
Gone?

Xie An couldn't analyze it for the time being.

After a few simple words of encouragement, Ye Luo hurried away.

Not long after, Liu Chun arrived with Xiao Hu and A Bin, also complaining. Xie An encouraged them, and they left.

It was late at night before Xie An left the Demon Suppression Division.

He brought a jar of wine to Chen Tie's residence, where Zhao Qing'er and Wei Haoran happened to be, and everyone was depressed and frustrated. Xie An drank with them, encouraged them a few words, and then returned to Xie's residence.

The Xie Mansion was no different from usual.

Because Xie An kept a low profile in the Demon Suppression Division and acted as a hands-off manager, the Xie Mansion was not targeted. After all, Xie An had just received an imperial decree from Emperor Jingtai and was given a nominal position of the fourth rank.

Li Hao would not make things difficult for Xie An at this juncture.

The oil lamp in the east wing of the central courtyard was still on, and Master Huang was sitting inside using the mirror to heal his wounds.

quack.

The white fox called out twice to the east wing, but got no response from Master Huang. So he lay listlessly on Xie An's shoulder, looking as if he disliked Master Huang very much.

Xie An looked at the white fox's expression and couldn't help laughing.

It’s good that Master Huang ignores the white fox.

It's best if two people create conflicts with each other...

As Xie An thought about it, he felt that he was very sinister, and then he stopped thinking about these things. He went straight back to the bedroom in the main house of the courtyard, closed the door, asked Baihu to keep watch, and prepared to practice martial arts.

Xie An was very cautious about using the white fox.

When in Qingwu County, Xie An used the appearance of a young man, and naturally swaggered with the white fox.

But when he arrived in Heize County, Xie An used the appearance of a young man and hid the white fox in his home, occasionally dyeing its fur.

With such an important matter at hand, Xie An didn't want to make any mistakes.

Clearing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xie An sat down cross-legged.

Start practicing the Water Drop Internal Energy Method.

"My progress in Mingyu Gong is slow, and something big is coming. I still need to raise my martial arts realm to the ninth level as soon as possible."

"Last time, I took the Shengjin Pills I got in exchange for my Zhonggong, which forced me to improve my realm. It was like forcing things to happen. It caused my foundation to become unstable. Now that I've broken through the ninth level, I can't rush. I need to consolidate my foundation and cultivate my internal energy into countless tiny water droplets before I can take the Nine-Level Internal Energy Pills."

Su Yuqing gave Xie An two Nine-Layer Internal Strength Pills.

Xie An carried it with him.

But don't take it rashly, otherwise not only will the success rate be low, but it may also easily hurt yourself.

Then it is extremely important to cultivate the internal strength of a water drop.

After so much hard training, he was almost there. But he still felt like something was missing. Xie An had asked Su Yuqing about this issue many times, and Su Yuqing had given him a detailed explanation.

But in the end, it still depends on Xie An's own understanding.

In fact, Xie An didn't like to get involved in Guang Chanzi's affairs so quickly. He just wanted to do things steadily and safely.

It was because things happened too quickly that Xie An had no choice but to do it.

wow~
As Xie An practiced the Water Drop Internal Energy Technique, the internal energy in his body began to circulate wildly, making a subtle sound like flowing water.

At dawn, the white fox suddenly rushed in and said, "Brother, something's wrong."

Xie An was very upset that the white fox had disturbed his practice, but he also knew that the white fox was not confused about important matters and would not have disturbed him rashly unless there was a real situation.

After all, I said that if it messes up, there will be nothing to eat.

With this tight hoop, the white fox is still very obedient.

Xie An opened his eyes and asked, "What's going on?"

The white fox said, "There is a woman in the living room."

woman?

Su Yuqing?
impossible.

The white fox knew Su Yuqing and got along well with her. When the white fox was away, Su Yuqing would take her out to eat and drink. The white fox called Su Yuqing "sister."

Xie An immediately realized that something was wrong and left the living room.

I saw a young girl standing next to the oil lamp in the living room.

Her dress was torn, her body covered in wounds, her flesh ripped and bleeding, and even a few knife wounds so deep that the bone was visible. Yet, the girl stood upright, with an extraordinary aura.

When Xie An saw the man's face, he was shocked to find that it was Chen Xi.

The Fairy Queen of the previous dynasty, Jin Xiaotang.

brush!
Xie An immediately pushed Mingyu Gong to its limit, ready to call Master Huang to come in for help at any time.

cough cough.

Chenxi coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and said to Xie An, "Don't be nervous. I'm here to discuss a deal with you."

Even though he was injured like this, Chenxi still had an extraordinary demeanor.

He even dared to come to me to discuss a deal.

She is worthy of being the Queen of Fairies.

Xie An asked cautiously, "What deal?"

Chenxi said, "I was ambushed and seriously injured. I can't walk far, and I don't know anyone familiar in Qingwu County or Heize County, so I thought of you."

Xie An opened his Qi sensor and carefully felt the breath of life in the morning light.

He was indeed dying.

Her strength is all forced.

Xie An immediately felt the urge to kill.

The fairy queen knew that he had taken her fairy treasure and had coveted it. She was a big threat to the world, so he took the opportunity to kill her and put an end to it.

Thinking of this, Xie An secretly tightened the pen needle in his sleeve.

However, Chenxi said, "It seems that you are very thoughtful and know me. You want to kill me to silence me."

Xie An was startled and pretended to be confused. "You came here so late at night and talked about cooperation. I don't know you well, so I naturally don't believe you."

Chenxi grinned, "Xie An, stop pretending. I came here last time and wanted to take away your fairy box. You think you are pretending well, but I can actually feel it."

Xie An tightened his grip on the pen needle. He gave Bai Hu a look, and Bai Hu was about to leave to call Master Huang.

Chenxi said, "Don't bother. When I came in, I sensed a large demon in the east wing, with the strength of a fourth-grade Grandmaster."

The white fox suddenly stopped and looked at Chenxi with trembling eyes.

Chenxi continued to cough up blood. "I won't be able to stay awake for much longer. I'll be frank. I'm Jin Xiaotang. You saw me in the cold pond beneath the Corpse Refining Hall four years ago. The Seven Treasures Box in your hand is mine. I'm the only one who knows where it came from. Don't you want to know?"

Xie An's eyes became brighter and brighter. "Go on."

Chen Xi said, "I know you aspire to achieve immortality, and that you have a predestined connection with the immortals. After all, you were able to make the Seven Treasures Box produce palm prints, something even I haven't been able to do. I recently went to Wulao Peak and had a fight with the Four Elder Monsters. I know a place where the secret of immortality might actually be found."

After a pause, Chenxi stood with his hands behind his back, facing Xie An sideways, and said word by word: "This immortal box is destined for you. I am afraid it will be of little use to you if I take it back. Immortal fate depends on fate and cannot be forced. I will give you this immortal box. In addition, I can tell you where the immortality technique is. I can also tell you about another great treasure of the Changsheng Sect."

Xie An was stunned for a long time before he adjusted his mood, "You want me to protect you and help you heal your wounds?"

"You are indeed a smart man." Chen Xi slowly turned around and stared deeply at Xie An. "I was once the Fairy Queen of the Tianbao Dynasty. I was the most powerful person in the world and I could be considered the emperor. But after so many things, I finally understood... power, wealth, status and fame are just passing clouds. Only the path to immortality is worth my lifelong pursuit. If you are willing, then help me. If not, you can take my life as you please... Poof!"

After saying that, Chenxi spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
