After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 220 The Ancestor's Team
Changwei Mountain.

It gradually sank to the bottom of the water.

After sending Bai Geng away, Qi Sheng didn't think much of it and continued to use the 'Ze Ding' to control the waters every day.

As he used the 'Ze Ding' more and more, his understanding of this treasure also increased.

While in the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, Qi Sheng relied on the 'Earth-Opening Mystic Shuttle' and his own cultivation aptitude to successfully make the 'Ze Ding', which contained considerable spirituality, automatically recognize him as its master and release the eight layers of mystic restrictions, allowing him to leave his mark.

But that's just the most basic.

Imagine you're given a fully leveled and fully equipped hero. You can certainly pick it up and play it, but how much power you can unleash depends on your understanding of the hero and your skill level.

The same goes for 'Zeding'.

After Qi Sheng refined the Eightfold Profound Restriction, he was able to activate the Supreme Treasure. However, since Ze Ding had taken the initiative to release it so that he could leave his mark, he didn't actually know much about Ze Ding's Eightfold Profound Restriction.

Since leaving the Dragon Prison, Qi Sheng has spent a lot of time studying the Ze Ding.

After nearly a month of continuously urging Ze Ding to control the floods, he has developed more and more of the functions of 'Ze Ding' and become more and more proficient in its use.

To date, Qi Sheng has comprehended five functions of the Ze Ding—

First, it refines water into 'Kui Water Essence'.

Secondly, it involves branding numerous demonic beasts onto the body of the cauldron.

Third, it controls all waterways, and can sense, mobilize, and drive rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

Fourth, it can be used to perform water-related spells by utilizing the Ze Ding and the water's edge.

Fifth, it commands aquatic beasts.

Of these, Qi Sheng had seen the first three functions to varying degrees in the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, but he didn't understand their specific mechanisms and inner workings until he had spent the last few months studying them.

"The myriad waters contain spiritual energy, and the 'Ze Ding' can refine this spiritual energy and transform it into 'Kui Water Essence.' Water gives birth to all things and has the effect of prolonging life."

"A dose of Gui water essence can add ten years to one's lifespan."

"With my current control over the Ze Ding, I can connect thousands of miles of water and refine a portion of Gui Shui Yuan Jing every month."

This single feature alone can elevate the Ze Ding to the level of a supreme treasure.

Who doesn't want to live longer?
Who doesn't want to live longer?
Whether they are mortals or cultivators, whether they follow the path of martial arts or immortality, whether they are 150-year-old sorcerers or 300-year-old immortals, their desire for longevity is the same.

Such as Ming Xuzi.

He had already become a True Person after completing the ninth level of cultivation, and had a lifespan of three hundred years. However, there was still a time when his lifespan was about to end. He risked entering a forbidden zone like the Dragon Prison Abyss just to obtain the elixir of immortality that could prolong his life.

But the forbidden zone is dangerous, and the elixir of immortality is elusive.

However, 'Ze Ding' can stably produce 'Gui Shui Yuan Jing' which can extend life by ten years, and the maximum amount of this Yuan Jing that each person can consume is nine portions, which can extend life by a total of ninety years.

"This is outrageous!"

Qi Sheng was increasingly shocked as he thought about it.

As far as he knew, the lifespan of a True Ancestor who had reached the ninth level of cultivation was three hundred years, though it varied from person to person, but was generally around three hundred.

However, if one possesses a treasure that can prolong life, one can extend one's lifespan to five hundred years.

Three hundred is just the standard price.

Five hundred is the upper limit.

"Based on the upper limit, and considering that one elixir of immortality can increase lifespan by sixty years, those ancestral figures would need at least three to four elixirs of immortality to increase their lifespan from three hundred to the upper limit of five hundred."

But how many ancestral figures are there in the Barbarian Frontier alone?
How many immortal herbs are there in the vast wilderness?

Many ancient figures only live to be around 300 years old. Even those who are brave and fierce often damage themselves and shorten their lifespan when fighting. Theoretically, they could live to be 300 years old, but in reality, they don't live that long at all. Some even pass away at 220 or 230 years old.

Cultivate immortality and attain eternal life!
life!

This is the eternal pursuit of a monk.

Therefore——

“Treasures that can prolong life, whether they are the elixir of immortality or the essence of Gui water, are absolute hard currency in the barbarian lands and even the entire cultivation world.”

"Having the treasure 'Ze Ding' that can reliably produce 'Gui Water Essence' is like having a money printing machine."

"wrong!"

"It must be a gold mine!"

One serving per month. Twelve servings per year.

In just nine months, Qi Sheng was able to extend the lifespan of one person, a True Person level Ancestor, by up to ninety years.

"Not many people can resist such a temptation."

The allure of 'Kui Water Essence' is evident from the fact that more than ten near-death patriarchs have come to seek refuge with it in the past month.

Even though Qi Sheng had almost completely broken ties with the Five Sects, and even though the threat from the Five Sects' Supreme Leaders was like a sword hanging over their heads, it still couldn't stop these people's enthusiasm.

If you don't come, you'll die of old age sooner or later.

There's still a glimmer of hope if we come.

Even a fool would choose that.

Therefore, when Wu Kehua and Qi Sanniang broke into the first layer of the Four Symbols Sword Sect's array, they faced a total of twelve patriarch-level figures!
……

"The Old Ancestor of Bamboo Fragrance from Tangyang Mountain in the Northern Territory".

"Grand Ancestor Yuhua of Dajue Mountain in the Southern Territory".

"Flying Snow Ancestor of Xiaohua Mountain in the Eastern Territory".

……

Wu Kehua's expression changed slightly.

Qi San Niang also frowned slightly.

The twelve people standing before me were of all ages: some had white hair, some were old and frail, some leaned on canes, and some had hunched backs. They all looked old and weak, but each of them had a reputation in the barbarian lands. The least of them were true ancestors who had lived for three hundred years, and the least of them were all top-notch figures.

Individually, none of them are a threat.

However, if the twelve of them join forces, and are aided by the Four Symbols Sword Sect's grand formation, then they will not be so easy to deal with.

Qi Sanniang frowned, her face darkening: "When the Netherworld Sect is handling matters, all irrelevant personnel must leave immediately!"

Among the twelve people, there was a tall, slender Taoist nun with silver hair. She held a whisk in her hand and said with a smile, "Little girl, the reputation of the Netherworld Sect is great, but it cannot frighten this humble Taoist."

This is the Northern Bamboo Fragrance Ancestor, who has been cultivating in the bamboo forest for many years. Although he is very old, he still looks like a middle-aged man. He exudes a fragrance and at first glance looks like a beautiful middle-aged woman with white hair, which is quite charming.

The Old Ancestor of Bamboo Fragrance was neither afraid of the visitors nor of the Netherworld Sect.

Decades ago, she might have hesitated, but now, with less than two years left to live, she is about to pass away. Not to mention the Netherworld Sect, even if all five sects of the Barbarian Frontier came at once, she would dare to fight them.

As long as my performance satisfies that brat Qi Sheng and earns him the 'Kui Water Essence', everything will be worthwhile.

Not much is needed.

Even a single dose of Gui Water Essence could extend her life by ten years.

The longer you live, the more afraid you become of death.

Who doesn't want to live a few more years?
ten years.

Not a lot.

The Old Ancestor of Bamboo Fragrance remained steadfast in his resolve, refusing to retreat even a single step.

The rest—

Yuhua Laozu (Old Ancestor of Rain Flower).

Flying Snow Ancestor.

……

Each one of them, though old, was still strong and full of fighting spirit.

After all, Qi Sheng said that if the invaders could be blocked in the first layer of the array and prevented from entering the second layer, he would receive a portion of Gui Water Essence for every two months he could hold them off.

There were twelve people present.

In other words, if they can hold the first layer of the array for two years, ideally each of them can receive a portion of Gui Water Essence, which can extend their lives by ten years.

If we can keep resisting, perhaps everyone can obtain nine portions of Gui Water Essence and everyone can live an additional ninety years.

That's great!
