Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Zhang Tiezhu was the most excited upon hearing this.

"How is Linxian special?"

Compared to Li Ji'an, Dong Jiangling, and Zhao Shuyao, Zhu Linxian and Zhang Tiezhu were the youngest, and they had the best spiritual roots.

Dong Jiangling raised his head slightly, recalling, "Ten years ago, the three of us went to the market. Sister Zhao was the first to recognize her shortcomings, so she decided to survive first and went to the shop. After Linxian understood the potential of low-grade spiritual roots, she resolutely went to the Biyun Sect!"

"Biyun Sect! She... is she qualified to go to the Biyun Sect?" Zhang Tiezhu asked in surprise.

Ten years had passed, and they were no longer novices in the cultivation world.

Their understanding of the cultivation world was much clearer.

The area they were in was the southernmost end of the Tiancang Domain cultivation world, Cangyun State. The Biyun Sect in Cangyun State was the largest sect in the state and the only leader with a Core Formation cultivator.

Which cultivator in this world didn't want to join the Biyun Sect?

It had a heritage of over a thousand years, countless techniques and spells, a large amount of resources accumulated from numerous industries, and teachers to impart knowledge and resolve doubts.

It also represented the highest authority in Cangyun State. Once you joined the Biyun Sect, you could almost walk sideways throughout Cangyun State.

However, the sect's requirements for recruiting disciples were very high.

Under the age of fifteen, with a medium-grade spiritual root, and also requiring assessment of temperament and comprehension, selecting the best of the best.

None of the five of them could pass the first requirement of age.

Dong Jiangling shook his head: "She certainly didn't go to participate in the sect assessment, she went to test medicine!"

"Test medicine!"

Zhang Tiezhu recalled that when they first arrived at this gathering area ten years ago, the Biyun Sect's branch in the joint market had information about recruiting medicine testers.

"That's right, Linxian's ambition to seek immortality is very urgent. After learning that the potential of the normal path was unknown and would definitely take a long time, she chose to become a medicine person. She learned from the Biyun Sect branch that the Biyun Sect's Spirit Medicine Pavilion was recruiting medicine testers to forcibly raise spiritual roots for the sect's alchemists."

"What was the result?"

"I later learned that testing medicine in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, especially that elder's medicine, could be said to be a narrow escape from death... Such uncontrollable risks made me retreat back then.

I thought Linxian was doomed.

As a result, during an adventure in a relic three years later, I saw her again from a distance, and she was accompanied by a disciple of the Biyun Sect," Dong Jiangling recalled.

"Ah? Could it be that the medicine test was successful? She joined the Biyun Sect!" Zhang Tiezhu said excitedly.

Dong Jiangling shook his head: "I don't know if it was successful or if she joined the Biyun Sect."

"Then didn't you go to see her?"

Dong Jiangling shook his head with a slightly ashamed expression: "Alas, at that time... just think of me as young and vigorous, unwilling to let old friends see me in such a state."

"She must have joined the Biyun Sect! She was able to sense nine strands of spiritual rhyme in the spiritual barren land for eighteen years, her origin must be excellent, there must be a way to repair spiritual roots! She must have succeeded, maybe she has already established her foundation!" Zhang Tiezhu was extremely excited, as if he saw his own hope.

He immediately got up, walked outside the restaurant, eager to see Zhu Linxian, wanting to confirm completely!

"Sister Zhao..."

However, just as he walked out of the restaurant door, he didn't see Zhu Linxian, but saw Zhao Shuyao standing on the street, alone and independent, looking straight at their table.

In fact, Li Ji'an had already noticed Zhao Shuyao, who was silently watching him, when Dong Jiangling mentioned Zhu Linxian.

She had been there for a while, but she didn't come in, just watched from afar.

But Li Ji'an pretended not to feel it, not wanting to reveal his soul perception far surpassing Dong Jiangling and Zhang Tiezhu.

"Sister Zhao!" Dong Jiangling also got up immediately, cupping his hands towards Zhao Shuyao.

At this moment, he found that he could finally calmly look Zhao Shuyao in the eye.

Once upon a time, because of his inner admiration and her high and mighty status as a royal princess, he never dared to look directly at her.

And at this moment, he suddenly realized that Zhao Shuyao, who was once so beautiful in his heart, seemed... not as unattainable as he once thought... even, she seemed not much different from Cui Niang.

Li Ji'an finally got up, looked at Zhao Shuyao, and nodded slightly.

And when Zhao Shuyao faced Li Ji'an's gaze, she could feel a subtle hint of dodging and nervousness.

"Alas."

Li Ji'an sighed softly in his heart, his strong spiritual sense had already sensed that there was no magic power in Zhao Shuyao's body.

Not a trace!

In fact, this can also be seen from her current appearance.

At the age of thirty-eight, without the nourishment of magic power, her skin had become dull, there were crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and there was no longer any light in her eyes.

In fact, Zhao Shuyao's appearance was not particularly outstanding even in the Xiansi Dynasty, and the reason why she was so popular back then was mostly due to the blessing of her status.

Now that she had come to the cultivation world, she was just an ordinary person with extremely low spiritual roots, only her martial arts foundation was a little better.

Her energy and blood made Li Ji'an raise his eyebrows slightly, it was actually stronger than his.

Sure enough, as she said in her letter to Zhang Tiezhu five years ago, she gave up Dharma cultivation and focused on physical cultivation, and also received the support of her boss.

"It seems that this boss has considerable financial resources! And is generous." Li Ji'an nodded secretly.

As far as he knew, the forging spirit objects required for a late-stage first-order physical cultivator to temper their body and boil their energy and blood were several times that of the mid-stage. The Lei Yan Crystal he got for free from Yan Hongsheng back then was worth at least two hundred spirit stones.

Li Ji'an was now very curious, wondering if Zhao Shuyao could break through to become a second-order physical cultivator.

The breakthrough of a physical cultivator to the second order requires a special second-order demon core!

Second-order demons are comparable to human foundation-building Taoists, and some special second-order demons are even stronger than most foundation-building Taoists, because some demons have a chance to awaken second-order talents when breaking through to the second order.

Therefore, second-order demon cores are very precious here.

"Brother Li! Jiangling, Tiezhu." After a moment of silence, Zhao Shuyao bowed slightly to the three of them.

"Sister Zhao, please sit down!" Dong Jiangling was generous and decent, no longer as attentive as he used to be.

"Sister Zhao, have you seen Linxian? Have you received any letters from her in recent years?" Zhang Tiezhu was more concerned about Zhu Linxian.

Because Zhao Shuyao often communicated with him in the past few years, he already knew that Zhao Shuyao had given up the path of Dharma cultivation.

"Sit down." Li Ji'an also nodded and smiled.

After sitting down, Zhao Shuyao first answered Zhang Tiezhu's question, she had not received any letters from Zhu Linxian after the second year either.

She didn't know Zhu Linxian's whereabouts.

She also asked about Dong Jiangling's broken arm.

The atmosphere was slightly more lively.

However, after being in close contact with the three of them for a long time, her face still inadvertently flashed with dodging and inferiority.

Although Li Ji'an and the others were not high in cultivation, and had not yet achieved the effect of eternal youth, time had also left traces on them, but under the nourishment of magic power, their skin was still very good.

At least Li Ji'an, who was the same age as her, looked like an uncle in his thirties, but his skin was very good, without wrinkles, clean and delicate, only with some mature charm.

On the contrary, he was more attractive.

And she herself was really old.

Her beauty had faded, and her youth was gone!

"Aunt Yao, which one is your Prince Charming, quickly introduce me!"

Just when Zhao Shuyao was already uneasy, a clear and playful voice like an oriole suddenly sounded.

Zhao Shuyao's expression changed instantly, and she got up in a panic.

"Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense, I... I don't have any Prince Charming?"

"Aunt Yao, you're still lying. You always taught me not to lie since I was a child. Hmph, I'm going to tell my mother! Let her deduct your salary." A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, wearing exquisite magic robes, ran in, her eyes constantly scanning Li Ji'an and the others, and quickly settled on Li Ji'an.

"It's you, isn't it!"

"Yaoyao..." Zhao Shuyao's heart was like a cat scratching, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
