Longevity: Start with your own wine-making technique

His legend is not over yet. At the age of thirty-seven, he passed the test of a fourth-grade alchemist and became the only alchemy wizard in ten thousand years to become a fourth-grade alchemist before the age of fifty, shocking the world.

That year, an alchemy competition that caused a sensation throughout the Western Region happened to be held. As the only fourth-grade alchemist in the competition, he swept all the contestants and won the championship easily.

After the competition, a stunning girl walked up to him. The girl had exquisite features, skin as white as snow, and eyes that were lively, as if she could speak.

Huizeng immediately recognized that she was a contestant in this alchemy competition. She was quite talented in alchemy. However, she seemed to have only a short time to learn alchemy, and she ended up in the finals.

"I am Qin Yuyou, the princess of Xiyue Princess of the Yanting Empire. We are from the same country. I often go to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense. Can I ask you about alchemy from time to time?"

The girl blinked and gave him a playful smile.

Huizeng clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Of course it is possible. If the donor doesn't mind, the poor monk can accept you as his disciple."

"Hmph! I don't want to be your apprentice." The girl looked at him coquettishly and ran away with a smile.

The two met because of an alchemy competition. This was their first encounter. From then on, a person broke into his life.

From time to time, the girl broke into the Great Buddha Temple and asked him for advice on alchemy, and the two began to have more frequent contacts.

The two of them made elixirs together and went to the mountains to collect herbs together. Perhaps they had been in love for a long time, and they began to have a secret love.

When he was meditating, the girl would cover his eyes with her slender hands from behind him and burst into laughter.

When he fell asleep, the girl would touch his nose with dogtail grass, and then run away with a smile.

But after all, paper can't cover up the fire. As time goes by, bad rumors about the two of them gradually begin to appear in the Buddhist temple.

One day, the abbot called him to the Buddha statue, turned his back to him and said, "You should know the forbidden laws of Buddhism. You have violated the precepts."

He clenched his fists and said nothing. After a long silence, he finally left.

But since then he ignored the girl.

While he was meditating, the girl covered his eyes and he said nothing.

When he fell asleep, his nose was tickled by dogtail grass, but he remained indifferent.

The girl comes every day with joy but leaves disappointed.

Neither of them said another word for a long time.

One day, the girl ran to him crying.

"Monk, there was a war between the Yanting Empire and the Huiyue Empire. Many people died. My brother also died in the battle. Wuwu..."

…

"Monk, our country has been defeated, and the emperor wants to send me to get married, woo woo..."

…

"Monk, the wedding day is only ten days away. How about we elope? I only like you!"

…

"Monk, I'm going to get married in five days. You won't open your eyes and look at me again. You are so cruel. I hate you! I will never come again."

…

On this day, the prayer beads in his hand were shattered on the ground, and people vomited blood. When he opened his eyes from meditating, his heart was confused.

That day, all the abbots of the Buddhist temple came to find him.

"Huizeng! When your master was out, he was plotted by his abandoned disciple who had expelled him many years ago. When we arrived, it was already too late."

"Your master has passed away now. He knew that you had an extreme temperament and had many extreme thoughts, so his last wish before his death was for you to practice the "Er Pure Corpse Slaying Technique", abandon all distracting thoughts, and concentrate on conquering demons."

After the old host finished speaking, he held a book in front of him with both hands.

Huizeng clenched his fists, and his expression slowly began to become ferocious.

"The duty of eradicating evil is done! The duty of eradicating evil is done! This is the price of cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots! The Buddhist concept of not killing is wrong!"

Huizeng roared like crazy, grabbed the "Er Qing Corpse Slaying Technique", turned around and walked away.

"Don't worry! I will fulfill my master's last wish and master the "Two Pure Corpse Slaying Techniques". I will let you see a different me."

Huizeng's voice came from afar, and his figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Walking to a deserted cliff, he recalled his master's final words and looked up to the sky and roared:

"If I save the devil, who will save me?"

"If the Buddha doesn't save me, I will become a demon!"

"Becoming a Buddha cannot slay demons, so it's okay if this Buddha doesn't do it!"

The master died because of his good deeds. At this moment, he seemed to have a profound enlightenment. He looked in the direction of the imperial capital, his eyes were full of tenderness, he clenched his fists and said: "Yu You, wait for me..."

At this moment, he finally recognized his heart. He no longer wanted to be bound by the pedantic precepts of Buddhism. He just wanted to be himself and leave here with the person he loved most.

On this day, he practiced the "Er Pure Corpse Killing Technique", but instead of forcing all the evil thoughts out of his body, he broke the rules and forced all his good thoughts out of his body. On this day, he was completely possessed by the devil...

On the day of the imperial marriage, he stood in front of the escorting procession and carried away the tearful bride in full view of the public. The emperors of the two empires were furious and sent countless masters to hunt him down.

Under the pursuit of endless powerful men, he finally stopped hiding his trump card and used the power of swallowing demon poison in full view of the public. Since he had no good thoughts in his heart, he began to kill the pursuers.

The pursuit was bloody for thousands of miles, and countless Gu kings from the two empires fell in this battle, and both suffered heavy losses.

However, although he escaped from the pursuit of the two empires, the beauty died in his arms.

He knelt and sat in front of a barren mountain, in agony...

…

Recalling this memory, he had already shed two lines of tears unconsciously.

I don't know whether it was the little medicine boy or Duan Tianwu who shed tears.

"What do you think of my proposal?"

At this time, Qin Manyuan walked into the cave, looked at his back and said.

"I want the female cultivator who looks like Yu You, this is my only condition." Duan Tianwu said.

Qin Manyuan thought for a while, and then said: "No problem, I will convince her, even if she disagrees, it's not up to her, you should recuperate here first, and don't reveal your identity when you go to participate in the alchemy competition."

Duan Tianwu smiled disdainfully: "No one can see through my disguise, and no one can snatch the championship from me."

"Anything else? If there is nothing else, you can leave now."

Qin Manyuan didn't say anything else, and slowly walked out of the cave, and the cave fell into silence again.

...

At the same time, Long Xuan was afraid that there would be another big change here, so he headed north and quickly headed towards the Tianfeng Empire.

At this time, in the Toad Space of the Heaven-Swallowing World, Long Xuan looked at the Bamboo of the Exorcism that had sprouted from the soil, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, according to normal means, it would be difficult for him to make the seeds of the Bamboo of the Exorcism take root and sprout.

But under the towering creation liquid of the Medicine Gu, the seed was forced to sprout. Once the seed sprouted, the survival rate was greatly improved.

The Medicine Gu is best at planting spiritual medicines. With the careful care of the Medicine Gu, he believes that this Bamboo of the Exorcism will not have any accidents and will definitely thrive under the care of the Medicine Gu.

However, occasionally, the Robbery Gu is needed to provide some nutrients for the Bamboo of the Exorcism. The Bamboo of the Exorcism needs thunder as nutrients, which is a nutrient that the Medicine Gu cannot provide.

He can only trouble the Robbery Gu for this matter. When the World Tree bears thunder fruit, he can release the Robbery Gu.

After successfully planting the Bamboo of the Exorcism on the wooden island, he walked back to the main island along the suspension bridge and found the location of the knife Gu.

At this time, it was feasting on the corpse of a Gu insect.

The diet of the mantis is all kinds of insects, and the armor-breaking ability of the knife Gu requires swallowing all kinds of insects, which requires the owner to collect the corpses of all the Gu insects in the world for it.

Thinking about the way to strengthen the ability of the knife Gu, Long Xuan had a headache.

How difficult is it to collect the insect species in the world? Many powerful and top-grade Gu insects have unique Gu recipes, how can he collect them just because he wants to.

In the years since he opened a store in the City of Sin, he has been frantically collecting various poisons and the corpses of various Gu insects. Although a lot of Gu insect corpses have been collected, there are not many powerful Gu insect corpses that can be collected.

There is no shortcut to collecting the corpses of top-grade Gu insects. It can only be ground bit by bit over a long time. This is destined to be a long-term task.

"Have you finished eating? Come over to transform after you have eaten."

Long Xuan took out the soul-sealing bead from the storage ring. Under the communication of soul power, a powerful sword intent soon floated out of the soul-sealing bead.

Seeing this free and easy sword intent, Dao Gu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't care about eating the insect corpse in his hand. He threw away the insect corpse that was only half eaten and quickly flew towards the sword intent.

Long Xuan only felt a silver shadow passing in front of his eyes, and the free and easy sword intent had disappeared.

Dao Gu, who swallowed the free and easy sword intent in one gulp, flew to the World Tree and fell asleep on a thick branch.

For some reason, many of his insects like to settle down on the World Tree.

Long Xuan smiled and finally turned around and left... (End of this chapter)
