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

Chapter 65 The Source of Immortal Treasures!

Xie An was still masked at this moment, and did not answer, but slowly walked towards Zhang Hengshui.

Zhang Hengshui didn't think much about it and breathed a sigh of relief, "Just help me up first."

Xie An still did not answer and continued walking forward.

Xie An, with his extraordinary five senses, naturally realized that Zhang Hengshui was already exhausted and had no power to resist. Even if he used any insidious means, he would not be a threat to him.

Besides, if he had any insidious means, he would have used them on the Plum Blossom Monster long ago. Why would he let himself fall into such a situation like a lamb to be slaughtered?

As for why Xie An chose this moment to strike, it wasn't because he was trying to show off. It was simply because the Plum Blossom Monster was convinced that he had a sure kill on Zhang Hengshui, and was at his most excited and relaxed state, making him the least prepared.

That moment was the best opportunity for Xie An to draw his bow and shoot.

As for why he didn't just shoot the plum blossom monster to death, Xie An had something to ask him.

Facing a master like the Plum Blossom Monster, Xie An did not dare to be careless for a moment.

As it turned out, Xie An's choice was extremely correct.

When he was two meters in front of Zhang Hengshui, Xie An stopped and looked down at Zhang Hengshui lying in a pool of blood. There was no emotion in his bright eyes.

Zhang Hengshui realized something was amiss and immediately lowered his stance. "Brother, I apologize for my harsh words to you at the ancestral hall gate. You have absolutely nothing to do with my nephew's affairs. Today we will divide this immortal treasure equally. From now on, we will be brothers and cultivate immortal treasures together. Maybe we can even find the way to immortality."

Xie An smiled and lowered his voice so that only Zhang Hengshui could hear him. "Master Zhang, you misunderstood. Actually, you don't need to apologize to me. Because I was the one who killed Zhang Biao."

Because of Zhang Hengshui's existence, Xie An had to appear in public with a mask for most of half a year. He was holding a grudge and couldn't help but express it.

hiss!
Zhang Hengshui took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and showed an incredible look.

"You...it turns out it's really you..."

Xie An said coldly: "In fact, you have suspected me for a long time. Although there is no evidence, you will definitely not let me go. There is no other way... I don't want to be wronged in the world of martial arts, so I can only let you be wronged..."

Zhang Hengshui sensed the determination in Xie An's eyes and knew that he was doomed to die, so he said viciously, "I only regret that I didn't kill you sooner!
I knew Wei Dian was protecting you, so I wasn't anxious. Because I knew Wei Dian had been poisoned by the corpse poison pill and wouldn't live long. I wanted to wait until Wei Dian died before killing you. Unfortunately, I didn't wait for that day. Hateful, hateful! "

Clang.

Xie An pulled out a 40-jin (approximately 20-pound) broadsword and slowly placed it against Zhang Hengshui's neck. He whispered, "For the past six months, I haven't dared to show my true face to anyone because you're here. I've done some research and found that Zhang Biao only has you as his uncle. The rest of his family is gone. Now that you're gone, I'll have nothing to worry about."

"You still want to split the treasure with me... How ridiculous!"

The moment the words fell, the knife exploded and a line of blood gushed out.

Zhang Hengshui passed away with great reluctance.

call!
After killing Zhang Hengshui, Xie An felt completely relaxed.

He knew that his only hidden danger in the Tiger and Wolf Gate was gone.

Next, you can show your true face to others.

This feeling made Xie An feel extremely comfortable.

Then, Xie An walked up to the Plum Blossom Monster with a knife in hand and stabbed him in the abdomen with a fierce expression. "Tell me everything you know about the fairy treasure. If you dare to hide even a word, I will make you wish you were dead."

The Plum Blossom Monster was so frightened that he dared not hide anything and told the whole story in detail.

Xie An listened carefully and got three important pieces of information.

First, the Corpse Refining Hall was an offshoot of the Changsheng Sect, the state religion of the previous dynasty. A century after the previous dynasty fell, the new dynasty established Changsheng Sect, labeling it a heretical cult and suppressing it. Eventually, the Changsheng Sect collapsed and fled to Nanyang Prefecture. One branch fled to Dayin Mountain, becoming the Corpse Refining Hall today.

Second, the ancestor of the Corpse Refining Hall was Li Changchun. A former disciple of the previous emperor, he possessed remarkable martial arts skills and spent half his life seeking immortality, earning him the nickname "Changchun Monk." It was Li Changchun who led the remnants of the Changsheng Sect into the Dayin Mountains and founded the Corpse Refining Hall. Due to his solitary nature, Li Changchun passed away with his magical treasure. He was buried by two of his closest disciples. Later, the two disciples left the Corpse Refining Hall, leaving the hall unaware of Li Changchun's grave. His descendants have been searching for Li Changchun's grave, hoping to unearth the magical treasure and revive the hall.

Third: The only people in the Corpse Refining Hall who had ever seen the Immortal Treasure were Li Changchun's two direct disciples. The rest of the group didn't know what the Immortal Treasure was. However, the Corpse Refining Hall's notes recorded the appearance of the Immortal Treasure Box and how to open it.

Xie An's scalp tingled when he heard this. He had never imagined that this group of bandits in Dayin Mountain had such a powerful background.

It turned out to be the remnant of the previous dynasty's state religion.

Its ancestor, Li Changchun, was also a cultivator seeking immortality... Two of his disciples... Immortal treasures...

All the information connected together made Xie An's scalp tingle.

Based on the information Xie An had learned in half his life, martial arts were prevalent in this world. What he could be sure of was that some martial arts masters and grandmasters... could live up to one hundred and fifty years.

He had also read some unofficial histories that recorded that some monks could live for two or three hundred years. However, these were unofficial histories, and Xie An did not know whether they were true.

Are there really immortals in this world?
However, Li Changchun spent half his life seeking immortality and finally passed away.

It can be seen that even if there really are immortals... I am afraid this path will be extremely difficult.

However, this information undoubtedly greatly stimulated Xie An.

For Xie An at this age, compared to the fighting and killing in martial arts, what he desires most is... to seek immortality.

Having experienced the fear of aging and death, and the torture of stroke... Although Xie An also longed for fame, wealth and power, they were far less attractive to him than immortality.

Xie An reached out and picked up the red cloth box on the ground.

Unwrap the red cloth and take a look.

The appearance is about 50% similar to the fairy treasure box he got.

However, the weight and texture were far inferior to the box Xie An got, and it was obviously fake.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Xie An asked, "Do I need a key to open the fairy treasure?"

The Plum Blossom Monster didn't dare to hide it. "Yes, it's recorded in the notes—only those who have practiced the Mingyu Gong can open this box."

Xie An raised his eyebrows, "Ming Yu Gong?"

The Plum Blossom Monster said, "The Mingyu Gong was originally a health-preserving technique. It was later refined by cultivators and became a top-tier martial art that flourished during the previous dynasty. It's said that after reaching mastery, one can prevent the leakage of internal energy, and the practitioner's appearance will gradually rejuvenate, as if time has flown back, youth is eternal, and ultimately, the return of youth. My Corpse Refining Hall's ancestor practiced this technique back in the day... Unfortunately, he only passed it on to his two direct disciples and left no handwritten copies. What a pity."

"Don't try to deceive me!"

Xie An slashed at him fiercely several times, "Without the Mingyu Gong, would your Corpse Refining Hall pay such a high price for this immortal treasure? Tell me, where can I get the Mingyu Gong?"

The Plum Blossom Monster screamed in pain after being hacked to pieces. Seeing that he couldn't deceive anyone, he said, "My Corpse Refining Hall does have a handwritten copy of the Mingyu Gong. It's in the hands of the High Priest. Outsiders are absolutely prohibited from accessing it."

"Then what's the point of keeping you?"

Clang.

Xie An swung his sword and was about to chop the plum blossom monster.

The Plum Blossom Monster was so frightened that he quickly said, "I know someone who has the Mingyu Gong."

"Who?"

"Old Master Tang of Tangjiabao in the county town is one of Li Changchun's two direct disciples. The reason Old Master Tang lived to be a hundred years old is because he practiced the Mingyu Gong. This is top secret, and I heard it from the high priest. Please spare my life, sir."

The old man of the Tang family...

Xie An suddenly remembered that Tangjiabao had been vigorously promoting health-preserving exercises and recruiting talents to inherit Tangjiabao's unique skills.

Xie An always thought that this opportunity was some kind of Six-Elephant Power.

It turns out... it's Mingyu Gong!
