longevity chart

Chapter 144
"you……"

Dean Xia's raised palm was involuntarily lowered, and he also froze in place.

The boy's palm touched the ancient seven-star tree, and then he broke the tree and burned it... When did he catch the longevity pattern?

The key... Can this thing be grasped with bare hands?I heard some elixir masters say before that we must use Wenyu!

Could it be that the ancient wood longevity pattern is special?
"Give!"

Confused in his heart, the young man gently tossed the longevity pattern in his hand.

Startled, Dean Xia subconsciously did the same as the other person, reached out to pick it up, and then felt a chill in his palm, and the cyan longevity pattern passed through his palm and rushed to the ground.

"Oops……"

His pupils shrank, and then Dean Xia realized that the news he knew before was true, and the special thing was that this young man... hurriedly took out the jade, and then tried to collect it, only to find that the ground was empty, and there was no trace of the other party.

Just disappeared out of thin air.

Dean Xia's eyes became dizzy.

The longevity pattern melts in the ground, and it is obviously impossible to find it again!

I was secretly sad, thinking that I was careless, when I heard the boy's displeased scolding sound, "Go away, be careful that I will slap you!"

Looking up suspiciously, he immediately saw the longevity pattern that had just slipped through his palm, and appeared at Xu Hong's trousers at some point, lying on it, rubbing non-stop, like a pug dog begging for food.

"..."

Xia Yuan was dumbfounded, and the other elders were also dumbfounded.

In the eyes of others, Gu Mu Shouwen, who is extremely arrogant and rebellious, is like seeing his own father at this moment, no matter how hard he chases him away...

"I'm afraid of you..."

Seeing that he couldn't shake it off, Xu Hong stretched out his fingers helplessly, pinched it lightly, pinched it again on his fingertips, took the patterned jade box in Xia Yuan's hand, and put it in.

"Xu Hong, what the hell is going on?"

With the longevity pattern in hand, Xia Yuan's nervous mood relaxed, and asked aloud at the same time.

When did you find the longevity pattern, and why did you cut off the tree trunk and burn the stump?

"Wait a minute……"

Xu Hong did not explain, but looked at the still burning tree trunk in front of him.

The flame formed by Huoxuan's true energy was extremely hot. In just a dozen or so breaths, the exposed tree trunk had been completely burned and turned into a pile of pitch-black coke. The exposed tree roots were also scattered all over the place. The ground turned to ashes.

Seeing ashes concentrated on top of the charcoal, Xu Hong took out a bucket and poured it away.

The clear water flowed slowly, extinguishing the remaining sparks, and at the same time seeping down into the dry ground.

"Nutrient solution? It's all burned to death. Is this thing still useful?"

Everyone looked at each other, all a little confused.

Only water it after it's fired... Are you sure it will work?
I don't deny that the nutrient solution is very effective, but it can't bring the dead things back to life!

The other elders didn't know about the nutrient solution, and they were even more confused.

Xu Hong kept watering, and poured the whole bucket of water in after a while.

A bucket of water is inconspicuous to the somewhat dry ground, and even the cracked surface has not changed much.

Just when everyone was wondering whether the boy would continue to prepare the nutrient solution, an exclamation came from the crowd.

"Look quickly..." Everyone hurriedly looked, and immediately saw that the ground was a little dark from the burnt. At some point, a young sprout emerged, showing a faint yellow color, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

"This is... the resurrection of the ancient tree?"

Dean Xia was stunned.

They were all burned to ashes, how did they grow?

Just as he was wondering, the sprouts seemed to be equipped with an accelerator key, and they continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, they became more than a foot tall, and after a while, they reached about one person.

At this time, the light yellow color has turned into tender green. Although the leaves are immature, it can be seen that there are seven spots printed on them, like seven stars.

If it wasn't the Seven Star Ancient Tree, what could it be?
"It's really alive..."

Everyone felt a little crazy.

He was cut off, burned to ashes, and the key life lines were captured... How did he survive?

After growing for a while, I don't know whether the effect of the nutrient solution stopped or other reasons, the growth rate stopped. At this time, this new ancient tree is more than five meters high, and the mouth of the bowl is thick and thin. Although it is the same as the previous trunk Bi, it's a lot worse, but the surface is all green bark, and it looks intact, with neither dry wounds nor tree holes eroded by time.

Exudes a thriving, full of vigorous state.

Elder Xuan Ye seemed to have thought of something, his lips trembled, "Could it be... breaking down and then standing up, living to death!"

Dean Xia frowned, and the others looked over in puzzlement.

Seeing their expressions, Elder Xuan Ye hastily explained, "I heard this by accident when I was traveling in other places before! The normal life lines are produced by trees and the like, which suffer life and death crises, such as: lightning strikes, droughts, Floods and the like, finally overcome the past, the dead trees come back to life, and regain their vitality.

"This kind, no matter how powerful the longevity pattern that is born later, will have a certain sense of aging, because... the resurrected tree, even if it comes back to life, is just a continuation of life!"

Everyone nodded at the same time.

Elder Hong Yuan even gave a voice of approval, "Not bad!"

He is not only a pill pharmacist, but also responsible for the cultivation of medicinal materials in the Heart Academy, so he naturally understands what the other party means.

The dead tree comes back to life in spring, but... the roots and trunk of the tree are the same and have not changed. That is to say, it is just the completion of the unfinished life, not the birth of a new life.

It is like an ordinary big tree with a lifespan of 100 years. When it is 50 years old, it is struck by lightning. After the longevity pattern is born, it just continues to live, and its lifespan is still 50 years, and it will not become younger.

"And this..."

The voice trembled, and Xuan Ye's fists trembled uncontrollably, "Not only did the longevity pattern be taken away, but the tree was also chopped up, the stump was burned, and more than half of the tree roots were burned. Under normal circumstances, resurrection is almost impossible, but ... The liquid medicine prepared by Xu Hong is really miraculous, with infinite vitality, and revives the ancient tree that has lost its vitality again!

"This seedling was born on the basis of the old tree, absorbing all the life and nutrients of the old tree, but it does not have the old lifespan of the other, but is full of vitality... That is to say, not only the longevity pattern is born, but once it grows up, The vitality is still stronger, if it is not done well, the level can be one step higher!"

"This..." Dean Xia was shocked.

Once the longevity pattern of the seven-star ancient tree reaches the level of ancient wood, if it can go a step further, wouldn't it be... the holy wood longevity pattern?
Shouwen of this level is extremely rare. Even though he has lived for more than 100 years, he has never seen it before. Could it be that it will appear in the misty forest?

However, the tree in front of him is still very immature, and when it is fully mature, he will definitely not be able to use it in a few years.

But being able to create a holy-level longevity pattern for future generations is enough to be famous in history!
After explaining, Xuan Ye looked at the boy curiously, "I don't know... am I right?"

"En!" Responding, Xu Hong explained: "The longevity pattern of the seven-star ancient tree has spirituality. Normal picking is like killing a chicken to get its eggs. If you want both, you must make preparations in advance and collect a part of the longevity pattern." In an instant, the tree is cut off and the roots are burned. At this time, the vitality of the ancient tree has not completely disappeared, and it will quickly flow back under the burning of the flames. Taking the opportunity to water the special nutrient solution, new life can be quickly born and absorb the ancient tree. The nutrition of the tree, so as to achieve rebirth from the ashes.”

This method of picking longevity patterns was seen in the library. For others, it is a kind of theory, because there is not so much vitality to revive the burnt ancient trees, he is different.

Imbued with Longevity True Qi, the vitality is exuberant, as long as it is not completely dead, it will be extremely easy...

Of course, these words must not be said.

After listening to the explanation, although they still had doubts in their hearts, they all showed deep admiration.

In just one or two breaths, the longevity pattern was found, from the broken tree to the burning, all in one go, without any hesitation... This courage and determination is heartbreaking.

Elder Hong Yuan and others admired him, but they were ashamed when they saw the elder who had broken the tree and scolded him.

When the other party saved the tree, they didn't understand it, and even scolded them, it was a shame to throw them to the grandma's house, with the soles of their feet on the ground, wishing they could find a crack in the ground...

"Xu Hong, you found the longevity pattern so quickly and found a way to get the best of both worlds. Did you ever learn how to cultivate medicinal herbs?"

After being silent for a while, Dean Xia couldn't help but said.

Without the cultivation of medicinal materials, it is absolutely impossible to bring the dead old tree back to life and revive it.

"When I was in Jiyuan City, I was fortunate enough to study with Teacher Tianya for several years..."

Xu Hong clasped his fists in respect.

Let's keep on pulling the tiger's skin...

Anyway, with the evidence of Yang Mo and Dean Xia, there is no need to worry about others not believing it.

"Senior Tianya is truly a god!"

Xia Yuan sighed.

Can make alchemy, prepare nutrient solution, cultivate medicinal materials, and the key is to see other people's hidden wounds at a glance, and treat them according to the symptoms... Although I have never met this person, I know that he is definitely the existence he looks up to, a true invincible master.

"Everyone, I still hope that everyone will keep their mouths shut about what happened today..."

After expressing his emotions, Xia Yuan turned his head to look at the crowd, "Once someone leaks the news to me, even if I am in poor health, I don't mind going all out to kill him!"

"President, don't worry!"

Everyone's face was serious.

If the young man in front of him is just a pure Nine Meridians, the news will be leaked if the news is leaked. The talent of pills is invincible, and the second time he contacts him, he can refine it to a perfect level... Now he is good at cultivating medicinal materials. It can drive countless people crazy.

"Go back all!"

After explaining, Xia Yuan looked at the young man, "Xu Hong, come with me, I got the longevity pattern, I want to try to resolve the dark wound!"

"it is good!"

Xu Hong nodded.

Leaving the foggy forest, he soon came to Dean Xia Yuan's residence, which was next door to Xu Hong, and there was only a wall between the two.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw several old men sitting quietly in it, as if waiting for them.

"Old Xia..."

Seeing the two people come in, they got up at the same time.

A hint of doubt appeared in Xu Hong's eyes.

These few in front of him were not the elders of the academy, at least he had never seen them before.

From the appearance alone, all of them are white-haired and very old, and there are even two of them with canes, it seems that they are not so convenient to move.

However, although he is not young, his strength should not be underestimated, his breath is not released, his spirit is strong, and the weakest one is probably far better than Elder Xuan Ye.

"I have troubled you all to come all the way for my trivial matter, thanks for your hard work!" Dean Xia clasped his fists as he came to the front a few steps away.

"You're welcome. If you've known each other for more than a hundred years, you'll be free from these vain gifts! We're here to protect you, and to see if you can really solve your hidden wounds."

An old man on crutches stroked his beard and said lightly.

"Well! Then I'm not going to be polite..."

With a chuckle, Dean Xia asked everyone to sit down again, and then looked at Xu Hong, "These are my friends who performed missions together when I was young, and they can be entrusted with life and death. Please come here this time to protect me. Way...to avoid unpredictable dangers."

Xu Hong nodded.

Dean Xia is already 162 years old... The friends in his youth were at least over a hundred years old, no wonder he is so old.

It's just that, with so many elders in the academy, he didn't talk about healing, but asked his young friends to defend the way... Is this distrust, or is he afraid?
I'm afraid it's both!
Although Hongwu Academy is not like Danyuanzong and Yingyuezong, where the elders hold a group and compete with each other, but when it comes to cultivation resources, there must be great competition.

He is so powerful that no one dared to speak out when he could crush him in his heyday. Once he was treated for his hidden wounds, something happened... Maybe no one would be tempted.

In this case, there will be great danger.

It was obvious that these people were brought in to guard against this kind of thing.

Having done missions together, and having put our backs on each other with confidence, it is natural that we have no doubts about our character.

"Who is this……"

Seeing that Dean Xia actually explained to a young man, several old men looked over curiously at the same time.

I saw that he was a student before, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought it was just an apprentice or something, a favored junior, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"This Xu Hong is a newly recruited genius of the academy, the future successor of Hongwu Academy..."

Dean Xia explained casually, without elaborating.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't take it seriously.

Although the genius is eye-catching, but the strength has not reached it, and it is still not enough for them to pay attention.

"Old Xia, you are ready to start, we will stay here, and if there is a problem, we will take care of it!"

The old man on crutches spoke lightly.

"it is good!"

Dean Xia made some preparations, sat cross-legged on a futon, flipped his wrists, took out the jade box, and slowly opened it. The longevity pattern of the seven-star ancient tree was lying quietly in it, swimming happily.

"Ancient Wood Shouwen?"

Seeing this thing, several old men showed surprise at the same time, but some of them were only envious, not jealous.

Xu Hong nodded secretly.

No wonder he was invited here, at least his character can be guaranteed.

Dean Xia took out a jade bottle again, poured it towards the longevity pattern, and then, drops of viscous liquid slowly flowed out. As soon as the two touched, the blue longevity pattern was immediately wrapped up, as if frozen The mayfly in the ice cube can't break free even if it tries to struggle.

After doing this, Dean Xia breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, and with a light pinch, he grasped the longevity pattern that could not be moved before in the palm of his hand.

"This is...medicine solution?" Xu Hong was full of doubts.

"It is refined from the 500-year-old [Void Yellow Grass]. The medicinal properties are neutral and will not affect the original efficacy of the Shouwen!" Xia Yuan explained with a smile.

"Oh!" Xu Hong was stunned.

Longevity grains can be used to refine elixir, and they can naturally be dissolved in liquid medicine. This is another way for elixir masters who do not have grain jade to preserve their opponents.

Of course, the premise is that this medicinal liquid has no attributes, otherwise, once the longevity pattern is combined with it, changing its shape and structure, even if it is taken, it will not be able to exert its previous effect.

Xuhuangcao is one of the best medicines. First of all, the refined medicine liquid is transparent, so you can observe the condition of longevity lines at all times; secondly, the higher the age, the weaker the medicinal properties. The 500-year-old medicine in Xia Yuan's hands is the best. For example, it may not even have the curative effect of an ordinary dogtail grass, and it will not affect the original power of the longevity pattern...

Picking up the longevity pattern and taking a deep breath, Xia Yuan swallowed it directly.

Afterwards, the true essence in the body circulated, and the turbulent and thick power, wrapped in the power of the medicine, rushed towards the damaged Huimen and Tianren acupoints.

Senior Tianya's suggestion was to fuse the seven-star longevity pattern with the damaged part, this is the simplest and most direct way.

"Why not refine it into a pill..."

Seeing his actions, Xu Hong frowned slightly.

Obviously, he didn't expect that the dignified headmaster would swallow it directly.

"Refining the ancient wood longevity pattern and making it exert the best medicinal effect requires at least a pharmacist at the peak of longevity to be successful. Do you think Yang Mo will spend his efforts to help him refine it? But if he can't reach this level, he can only refine it by force. It will damage the properties of the medicine, which will lead to damage to the longevity lines..."

The old man on crutches showed a hint of displeasure, and couldn't help humming.

At this time, it is most taboo to disturb, and asking questions will undoubtedly distract people.

Xu Hong was speechless.

I don't know where Senior Brother Yang Mo is now... It's really inconvenient to find him to make medicine.

However, if you take it directly without refining it, the power of the longevity pattern will become very violent, and it will inevitably increase many unknown variables.

No wonder Dean Xia wanted so many friends to come over to protect the Dao, this is the determination to succeed or succeed.

Thinking of this, Xu Hong's eyes became serious.

It seems that when it's time to act, we still have to help, otherwise, if this Dean Xia has an accident, he will become very dangerous and embarrassing.

Zizizi!
As he was thinking about it, he saw a painful expression on Dean Xia's face, and the power in his body seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and it was scattered in all directions.

The longevity pattern has not been refined in a pill furnace, and if it wears out the spirituality, it will cause rejection. This kind of pain is from the inside out, and it will not be relieved by high cultivation. Therefore, it is very easy for people to go crazy.

When Wei Ziyang was treated for his injuries, he had encountered this kind of situation. If he hadn’t used the longevity map to monitor him all the time, he might not have saved his life, but put him to death directly.

Therefore, after obtaining the longevity pattern, what the pharmacist needs to do most is to refine the spirituality in it, making it unconscious.

Dean Xia did not carry out this step. Under Shou Wen's resistance, the power in his body kept shaking, and he was already somewhat uncontrollable.

"Arrangement!"

As if he had already guessed that this would happen, the old man on crutches raised his eyebrows and let out a low voice.

The remaining few, upon hearing the order, stood up in unison, and immediately surrounded Dean Xia in the center. Immediately, a series of mighty true energy rushed over, covering the latter like a cocoon.

Xu Hong frowned.

Shouwen repulsion, this happens in the body, just like a dynasty's civil strife, forcibly using force to seal it is like suppressing resistance with force, it will only make the confrontation more intense, which is counterproductive.

No matter where you look at it, it's not a good idea!

With a mental move, the Longevity Map emerged.

“1年：101天：12时：15分：23秒！”

“1年：70天：12时：15分：22秒！”

……

Xu Hong's pupils shrank.

One second loses 31 days of life.

If it were someone else, it would be fine to fall for half a year at a time, or even for a year, but Dean Xia only has a lifespan of more than one year in total. If he continues to fall, it is very likely that he will die directly before completely suppressing the longevity pattern!
Seeing that the font was green, not the dark gray of "Brother Feng", Xu Hong secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

This countdown is not the time when the other party must die, but can be cured.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward and expressed his thoughts, "I don't think this kind of forced suppression is a good way..."

"Inappropriate?"

The old man on crutches looked over coldly, "What strength do you have?"

Xu Hong answered truthfully, "Grandmaster!"

It is definitely not possible to say that the martial artist is ten heavy. Anyway, as long as there is no breakthrough to increase life, in the eyes of the other party, he is the pinnacle of the master.

The old man continued to ask: "How old are you?"

Xu Hong: "16 years old!"

The crutches landed on the ground, and the eyes of the old man on crutches were as indifferent as ice, "I, Yu Yuan, am 137 years old this year. I am a martial artist at the peak of the fifth-layer fetal breath state. I have a deep understanding of cultivation. The ancient tree longevity pattern that Xia Yuan took has not been refined. , There was a phenomenon of rejection in the body. This situation needs to be suppressed with all efforts to alleviate it and buy him more time... You are a 16-year-old boy, what qualifications do you have to say that it is inappropriate? I wonder if you are Yang Mo or Wu Yue? "

Xu Hong's face froze.

It was a good intention to save people, but I didn't expect to be despised...

Another old man also looked over and said, "Although I don't know why Xia Yuan values ​​you so much, but... this is not the time for you to speak, you should stand back and wait!"

"Elders don't need to intervene here when they are doing things, otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson for Dean Xia!"

Someone yelled out again.

Unexpectedly, he said something that caused such a big reaction, Xu Hong frowned, and said his thoughts, "Forcibly blocking Dean Xia's power can suppress Shouwen's backlash, but for his The physical injury is too great, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it for long!"

With Dean Xia's cultivation at the peak of the sixth level of longevity increase, he can eventually tame the longevity pattern, but...his lifespan cannot allow this.

"To shut up!"

Yu Yuan, an old man on crutches, swiped with one hand, and Xu Hong was enveloped by a majestic true energy, making it impossible to move forward.

Compared with a 16-year-old boy, they choose to believe in their own experience.

Unexpectedly, they not only refused to listen to him, but also moved forward to control them. Xu Hong frowned and looked at Dean Xia in front again.

"24 days: 12 hours: 15 minutes: 10 seconds!"

Pupils shrink.

Just now there was more than a year of lifespan, but in just over ten seconds, it became 24 days. It seems that if you let it continue, you will die completely within a few seconds.

puff!
Sure enough, as soon as this idea came up, Dean Xia Yuan couldn't hold on anymore because his lifespan was lost too quickly, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, the lifespan has also dropped to less than a day, like a candle in the wind, it will go out at any time.

Seeing his appearance, everyone stopped, all with sad faces.

Xu Hong didn't need to say it, but he could see that the person in front of him should have failed, and it was already difficult to resist.

Resisting the pain in his body, Xia Yuan opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "I thought about the seven-star ancient wood longevity pattern, the counterattack force would be very strong, but I still didn't expect it to be so big... Don't be depressed, everyone, if you don't hit, I also only have less than two years left to live, I don't have much time to live, now that I've tried it, even if I don't succeed, at least I won't regret it..."

"When the lifespan is up, no one can live against the sky..."

Yu Yuan nodded and looked over, "Old Xia, don't worry, after you leave, we will take care of Hongwu College for you, until this young man grows up!"

As a strong man who has lived for more than 100 years, he naturally understands the real intention of the other party to let them protect the way at this time.

If the life extension is successful, everyone is happy, but if it is not successful, bringing this young man is obviously to let them take care of him until the other party is not weaker than them.

"With your words, I feel relieved..."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xia Yuan just wanted to continue to explain some behind-the-scenes affairs when he saw the young man who was driven out of the crowd frown and slowly walked towards him.

The power to suppress him was removed, and the seal on him naturally stopped.

"Xu Hong, the academy will be handed over to you in the future. Work hard and strive for an early breakthrough. By the way, you must be careful with Cheng Yu. I'm afraid this guy is not so safe. Li Yuan's royal family is not as simple as imagined... ..."

Knowing that his fate was not long, Xia Yuan looked at the young man, his eyes were full of kindness, and he also explained seriously.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the young man coming in front of him, raised his right foot, and kicked straight at his chest.

Bang!
Seriously injured, with all his strength and suppressing Shou Wen's backlash, he had no time to dodge, and was kicked flying more than two meters away with just one blow.

"stop!"

"What are you going to do?"

"court death……"

Yu Yuan and the others were all stunned and exploded in an instant.

The other party is about to die. As a junior, I don't want to save people, but go straight to my feet... Is it a person?

It's in vain that Xia Yuan treats you so well, and plans to personally hand over the academy to you...

hateful!

With a livid face, Yu Yuan spread his five fingers and grabbed Xu Hong again. The mighty force enveloped him again, blocking his way at once.

"What are you doing?" Xu Hong raised his eyebrows.

"I want to ask, what are you doing!" Yu Yuan shouted angrily.

If it were someone else, he would have already dealt a heavy hand. The other party was obviously a junior that Xia Yuan valued, so after thinking about it, he endured it and asked clearly.

"I'm saving people!" Xu Hong explained.

"Rescue?"

It's okay if you don't say this, but when you say it, Yu Yuan and the others are all so angry that they almost laughed... Can I have some face?

Kicking a seriously injured person away...is this saving lives?
Maybe he didn't die fast enough!
"I can't take it anymore, Lao Yu, don't pull me, let me beat him to death..." An old man with leopard eyes, his eyes widened, couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to strike when he came to Xu Hong.

Yu Yuan was still considering whether to stop him, when he heard a weak voice, "Stop...don't stop Xu Hong..."

Everyone was stunned at the same time, and hurriedly turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and then saw Xia Yuan who had just been kicked away struggling to stand up at some point, his face was pale, and his voice was full of excitement.

"Don't stop me?"

Yu Yuan and the others were afraid they heard it wrong.

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan walked forward excitedly, looked at the young man in front of him, full of anticipation, "Kick me hard, trample me hard! I... can hold on!"

"..."

Looking at the dean of Hongwu College, who was enjoying and looking forward to it, and was afraid that the other party would not do anything, Yu Yuan and others were all dumbfounded.

I've seen people begging for money, rights, debts, and food, and it's the first time I've seen someone begging for beating...

Is it that cheap?
