After saying that, Zhang Chulan handed the notes to Feng Baobao.

Feng Baobao nodded.

Then he opened the first page and started reading.

I pondered for a long time in the cave, but I couldn't figure out why the snake god was acting like this. Then, I turned my attention to the Gu.

I heard it was a sequel to the previous notebook.

Everyone perked up.

I didn’t expect that we would be destined to be together so much that we could directly connect with the sequel.

……

After thinking for a long time, I left the Twenty-Four Sections Valley.

[Gu possesses the substance of longevity. Perhaps, it can help me solve the mystery.]

Long biomass?

At this moment, Zhang Chulan thought of what the owner of the notebook said when he was in Zhuge Village before. If you use the Gu well, it will be no problem to achieve immortality.

The owner of this notebook has now really started to study this kind of poisonous insect!

Others were also surprised to hear that the owner of the notebook had begun to study the power of immortality.

Can humans really develop this kind of power?

……

I returned to the Five Immortals Sect and began asking Lan Ling if they had any poisonous insects that could survive for an extremely long time.

[Lan Ling told me that only those Jade Ice Silkworm Gu that are still in their cocoons and haven't broken out of their cocoons can achieve a near-immortal lifespan.]

Then she told me.

[The Five Immortals Sect currently has some jade ice silkworms that have survived from the pre-Qin period.]

[If we calculate by time, these jade ice silkworms are over two thousand years old!]

When Lan Ling brought me the jade ice silkworm cocoons, I also noticed the extremely vigorous vitality of the jade ice silkworms inside these cocoons!

Chapter 114: Ancient Relics, Purified Longevity Matter

When they heard that these jade ice silkworms had survived from the pre-Qin period to the Republic of China period, everyone had an incredible expression on their face.

Huang Boren's face showed some disbelief.

"Is it true that there are poisonous insects that can survive for that long?"

"This isn't just one or two hundred years, it's more than two thousand years!"

"Even the pig iron has corroded into ash."

"In what form has this insect survived for so long?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan was also guessing.

"I heard Wang Ye talk about the time dimension before. What if the speed of time is different?"

Wang Ye was also inspired when he heard Zhang Chulan say this.

"Are you saying that the flow of time inside and outside this cocoon is different?"

Zhang Chulan nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"It's like some foreign construction team dug up a living mammoth in the wild, but it died soon after coming into contact with the outside world."

"There's also the Three-Eyed Kingdom in the Kunlun Mountains that we visited earlier. There's a man named Ma Chenguang there. He's clearly quite old, but because the speed of time flows differently inside and outside that space, he's been able to live until now as a Qing Dynasty person from the Guangxu period."

"If the flow of time inside and outside the cocoon is different, then only a very short time has passed for the jade ice silkworm inside."

"I just don't know if after hatching, it will die of old age due to exposure to the external world's Qi."

At this moment, Wang Ye was quietly thinking about what Zhang Chulan had just said.

"Well, if that's the case, then the Jade Ice Silkworm, a poisonous insect with an extremely long lifespan, is nothing."

"After all, there's no way to contact the outside world. If you do, you'll be killed by the backlash. What's the point of this level of immortality?"

Listening to the two people's conversation, everyone fell into deep thought.

Since it was the first time for Zhang Lingyu and Taoist Yunlong to come across this kind of notes, they only had a vague understanding of what everyone was talking about.

At this time, Feng Baobao's voice came again.

[Looking at these Jade Ice Silkworm Gu, I selected ten cocoons with the strongest vitality, and asked Lan Ling to preserve the rest.]

[According to my estimation, these jade ice silkworms will not die even after several hundred years, making them priceless.]

Hearing that he would not die even after hundreds of years, Huang Boren couldn't help but feel curious.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you here. I'd let Bi Youlong come here and I'd go to the Five Immortals Sect."

"If so, wouldn't it be a chance for me to see this Gu worm that has lived for thousands of years with my own eyes?"

Hearing Huang Boren's words, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

If you had gone there, would you have known that the Five Immortals Sect had this kind of poisonous insect?

At this moment, a voice came to everyone's ears.

[In the following days, I began to study these poisonous insects, attempting to extract the longevity substance from them.]

[These jade ice silkworms are extremely tenacious, almost as strong as tardigrades. Even if I apply extreme force, they can withstand my damage.]

After killing six Jade Ice Silkworms, I finally extracted a drop of longevity substance from them.

Zhang Chulan couldn't believe it after hearing it.

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean my guess just now was wrong?"

"So these jade ice silkworms aren't long-lived simply because of the difference in the speed of time?"

Wang Ye nodded at this time.

"That should be the case, otherwise this note wouldn't say that longevity substances were extracted from it."

Having said that, Wang Ye rubbed his brows.

"I just don't know what that immortality substance is. Could it really make people immortal?"

"Or perhaps it's just a substance that can prolong life."

"Can it only make people live longer?"

At this moment, Zhang Chulan remembered the philosopher's stone mentioned in his previous notes.

"Previous notes mentioned a stone called the Philosopher's Stone. Legend has it that it was created by the 14th-century alchemist Nicolas Flamel."

"Legend has it that he and his wife relied on this Philosopher's Stone to transform themselves into immortal beings."

"I just don't know if it's because the Philosopher's Stone gave them a lot of longevity that they became like this."

Philosopher's Stone?

This was the first time Wang Ye heard this term.

"What is the function of the Philosopher's Stone?"

"I've never heard that before."

Thinking of the equivalent exchange he had guessed before, Zhang Chulan also began to explain.

"The function of the Philosopher's Stone is equal exchange. In other words, if you want something, you must pay an equal price. Only in this way can the Philosopher's Stone work."

Wang Ye shook his head slightly after hearing this.

"It's incredible, it's incredible."

“That’s actually what happened.”

"If that's the case, then we can get anything."

at this time.

The old Taoist priest spoke slowly.

"This Philosopher's Stone is very similar to the effect of a kind of Gu that I heard about when I went down the mountain and ventured into the martial arts world in my early years."

Zhang Chulan quickly looked at the old Taoist priest.

He had never heard the old Taoist priest talk about this before.

"Master, what kind of Gu is that?"

The old Taoist priest spoke slowly.

"My master sent me down the mountain to learn survival skills for a year, and I read fortunes all the way north."

"When we arrived at Shanhaiguan, we found a few famous murderous women who had caused panic among the locals. Their names were Shanlihong, Hailihong, and Xuelihong."

"These women are killing people and offering sacrifices everywhere in order to practice a kind of Gu technique called the Red Snake Gu King."

"I heard from the sects in Shanhaiguan that every time the Red Snake Gu King devours a person, the three sisters will become younger and stronger."

Having said this, the old Taoist priest stopped talking.

The crowd who were listening attentively were stunned.

What's going on? Why don't you continue?

Zhang Chulan spoke quickly.

"Master, what happened next?"

The old master shook his head.

"To be honest, I once went with the Mu family in Guannei to look for these murderous female demons."

“But unfortunately, it was not found at that time.”

"I don't know if it's because we went looking for them, but I haven't heard any news of these three female demons killing anyone in quite some time."

When they heard about the Mu family, everyone became curious.

Zhang Chulan immediately spoke.

"Master, I've only heard of families like the Northeastern Guan family and the Northeastern Deng family. Who are these Mu families?"

The old Taoist priest glanced at Zhang Chulan.

"There are many immortals in the Northeast, and there are also many halls below."

“So the number of families is even more innumerable.”

"The Guan and Deng families were merely chosen to represent them."

"In fact, the Mu family can be considered a true heirloom family. Even the Qing court invited them to serve in the palace."

Hearing that the Mu family had such a powerful background, Zhang Chulan became even more curious.

"Then what kind of immortals do they worship?"

The old master shook his head.

"I don't know, because the Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu and Hei families are all friends with the Mu family."

"At the same time, the Mu family seems to have some special bloodline talent. Any immortal spirits worshipped by the Mu family will cultivate three times faster."

"That's why so many immortals and spirits like the Mu family."

"Don't underestimate these three points. Over the years, they will become extremely terrifying."

When Huang Boren heard the old Taoist priest say this, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Yes, the company didn't intend for the Guan family to be the ten bosses."

"It's a pity that the Mu family doesn't care about worldly affairs. Even the disciples within the sect rarely show up."

"Even if our company wanted to, we couldn't invite them here."
