Chapter 337: The Beginning of Life and the End
Chapter 335: The Beginning and End of Life
“Why doesn’t seem to be very useful right?” Immortal Emperor Extreme Cheng smiled as he voiced out his doubts for Ximen Yue.
Ximen Yue hurriedly bowed his head in thanks.
However, Immortal Venerable Extreme Cheng waved his hand, unimpressed, “Tendu Hua Feather Pill, longevity of eight hundred years. Longevity Fruit, longevity of five hundred years. Past Life Longevity Fruit, life span of three hundred years.”
“All extremely rare treasures. Among the countless treasures I’ve seen in the past three thousand six hundred and twelve years, the value of these few are also absolutely ranked.”
“Now all of them are cheap for me, a dying man.”
Immortal Exalt Extreme Cheng said with some self-deprecation.
“Together, they can add 1,600 years of life to an ordinary cultivator.”
“But used on my body ……”
“Hehehe, guess what the effect is?”
Immortal Emperor Extreme Cheng asked.
Han Yi saw that Extreme Cheng Immortal Exalt seemed to be quite a bit more level-headed at this point, and became a bit more bold.
Taking the lead, he replied, “Five hundred years?”
Immortal Exalt Extreme Cheng gave a light laugh and shook his head repeatedly.
“Two hundred years?” Ximen Yue guessed.
The Extreme Success Immortal Exalt still had a distant head.
“Twenty years?” Li Fan suddenly spoke out at this time.
The guessed number was a bit outrageous, causing Han Yi and Ximen Yue to both look towards him.
“Although you’re already bold, it’s still an overestimation!” Immortal Honorable Extreme Cheng laughed and reached out his right hand, raising a finger.
“Ten years.”
“That’s the deadline I can fight for.”
“This is still the result of counting the life-extending treasures that other cultivators have contributed along with them.”
Immortal Emperor Extreme Cheng’s voice was muffled as he said with a smile.
As for Li Fan and the others, they were all shocked at what they heard.
“How could this be?” Ximen Yue’s face was filled with disbelief, “Can it be that the appraisal effect of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror could also be fake?”
Li Fan and Han Yi, both of them, were also extremely grave, looking at Immortal Exalt Extreme Cheng, trying to get an answer from him.
Instead, Immortal Reverend Extreme Cheng did not answer first, but pointed at the large tree in front of him, and asked the three of them, “Do you know, what kind of tree is this one?”
Han Yi and Ximen Yue looked at it for a moment and both shook their heads, not recognizing it.
Li Fan, however, said without hesitation, “Green Cloud Willow, an unusual spirit tree, with no value other than ornamental.”
After all, he had not read the Heavenly Healer Immortal Scripture for so long for nothing.
The Extreme Cheng Immortal Venerable sized up Li Fan with his cloudy eyes, seemingly a little surprised that he could recognize it.
And then he went on to ask, “Then do you know how many years the Green Cloud Willow can survive at most?”
Li Fan thought for a moment and said, “The Green Cloud Willow Tree, which can live for 800 years, is already rare in the world. More than a thousand years, a few impossible.”
Immortal Venerable Extreme Cheng slowly nodded, “You are right.”
“This Green Cloud Willow was planted when I first broke through the Harmonization and was appointed as the successor to the Chief Commander of the Garrison Academy.”
“That was already more than nine hundred years ago.”
“At that time, I was spirited and full of ambition.”
“Thinking that death was still far away from me. I could still go further, and longevity was expected.”
Polar Cheng shook his head.
“Truly not knowing the heights of heaven ……”
The Immortal Father sighed and returned to the topic.
“These past hundred years or so, I’ve watched the old buddy who accompanied me all the way here about to die of old age.”
“I had thought of all sorts of ways to save his life.”
“Green Wood Spiritual Liquid, Immortal Loam Agar ……”
“I’ve tried all kinds of treasures.” “But it only barely pulled him back from the death line.”
“Barely pulled back ……”
“At that time, I knew. Death, for us, is inevitable.”
Immortal Exalt Extreme Cheng once again looked up at the withered Green Cloud Willow.
“I just didn’t expect that the same fate would fall upon me so soon.”
After finishing his words, Immortal Exalt Extreme Cheng fell into silence.
Li Fan and the three of them glanced at each other and did not dare to interrupt with their voices, but only stood in silence and waited.
Only after a long time did Extreme Cheng slowly say, “When the end is near, other than going further and completing one’s overall transformation, all other means can only slightly delay the time of death.”
“The effect is greatly reduced, not to mention that the more one struggles, the faster the rest of the similar means will fail.”
“Take for example these life-extending treasures that you guys turned in. I’ve already served too many with similar effects earlier. That’s why there’s this situation of 1,600 years turning into 10 years.”
“Heaven’s will wants you to die on the third night, it’s really hard to keep you until the fifth night.”
Polar Cheng raised his head to look at the sky, and a trace of inexplicable expression flashed through his cloudy eyes.
“However, ten years. For me, it’s also enough.”
The old man’s voice gradually lowered, and Li Fan’s trio could no longer hear him.
“Dare I ask Immortal Elder, then does it mean that these life-extending treasures are actually not as precious as imagined?” After a long time, Han Yi couldn’t help but ask.
The Extreme Cheng Heavenly Father glanced at the three of them and laughed in a low voice.
“The younger you are, the more precious it is.”
“The older you are, the more useless you are.”
“Do you understand?”
The three of them sniffed and all of them had a thoughtful expression.
“Alright, seeing you vibrant youngsters today, it’s rare to talk a bit too much.”
“Now it’s time to give you your rewards.”
Without seeing how Immortal Exalt Extreme Cheng moved, three jade tiles emitting seven-colored luscious light suddenly appeared and flew towards Li Fan’s several people respectively.
When Li Fan received the jade tags, he only saw that there were arcane patterns carved around them, surrounding the word “Fa” in the center.
“This is the [Hajj Law Jade Token]. With this token, you can go to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the General Hall of Law Protectors, and apply to use the Diffractive Law Jade.” Polar became the three introduced.
As if remembering something, Immortal Exalt Extreme Cheng reminded again, “Remember, a [Hajj Dharma Jade Token], only has one chance to apply.”
“After the application is sent out, it may take a long time before it’s your turn. Moreover, there is a time limit for each Diffracting Dharma.”
“You guys don’t want to be greedy and cause you to miss it.”
“Hehe, think of the year ……”
The voice of the Extreme Cheng Immortal Exalt grew smaller and smaller, eventually becoming faintly inaudible.
At this time, the blue-robed cultivator who had led them in earlier quietly reappeared beside them.
“Let’s go.”
He transmitted his voice.
The three of them, Li Fan, put away the [Hajime Laws Jade Plaque] and slowly exited from this side of the courtyard.
“Young man, a suggestion for you. Your jade token can only be applied to deduce the YuanYing level’s techniques. If it is only used to deduce the main gong methods of the cultivation realm, then it is a bit too much of a waste.”
“You can try to have the Diffraction Jade Diffuse those merit laws that have special effects.”
“Even though it’s only at the YuanYing level, it might also have strange effects.”
Just at the moment Li Fan stepped out of the small courtyard, but the voice of Immortal Honorable Extreme Cheng suddenly came from his ears.
Li Fan could not help but look back, only to see Extreme Cheng Immortal Zun caressing the withered Qing Yun Willow just as he had seen when he arrived.
His back was silent.
Li Fan saw it, an old man, heading towards the end of his life.
Slowly bowing to him, Li Fan quietly left.
