Chapter 50: Elixir of Immortality

In the underground palace, two rows of ever-burning lamps were burning, and the room was quite bright.

This tomb was originally used to store burial objects and pottery figurines, but now it has been transformed into a study by Xu Xuan.

The oil lamp occasionally burst into sparks, and Xu Xuan bent over his desk to observe.

After several days of screening, Xu Xuan roughly knew the content of the bamboo slips, which mostly recorded history and eulogized articles.

There was also a Taiyin Refining Form Method, and the liquid in the coffin was called the Immortal Medicine, and its full name was the Immortal Medicine of Cicada Shell.

According to legend, during the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Emperor traveled to the East China Sea, and his attendants saw a corpse floating on the sea. The corpse had white hair and a childlike face, and was lifelike, holding a precious mirror in his arms.

The mirror was very magical, and it could actually illuminate the five internal organs of a person. The Qin Emperor was shocked and planned to take the immortal's shell back for worship.

But Xu Fu, the Taoist priest beside the Qin Emperor, said that if the dead did not decay, they would become demons, which might hurt the country's fortune.

The Qin Emperor finally left behind the bronze mirror, and the remains of the immortal were returned to the sea.

A few years later, Xu Fu led many alchemists to go out to sea to look for the remains of the immortal, wanting to get a glimpse of the secret of immortality.

In the end, only a piece of blood-red Ganoderma lucidum was found on a small island somewhere.

At that time, Xu Fu did not notice anything unusual, and asked everyone to share it together. Later, it was discovered that this was actually a spiritual object irrigated by the flesh and blood of the immortal's rotting body.

It was too late to retrieve it later.

Borrowing this object can achieve the effect of rebirth after death.

Xin Zhui's ancestor was an alchemist who got the blood Ganoderma lucidum.

But he did not use it, but was used by his descendant Xin Zhui.

Xu Xuan looked at the palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum on the side.

The Ganoderma lucidum is bright red in color, with clear textures and exudes a strange medicinal fragrance. This may be the last one in this world.

"Blood Ganoderma lucidum, not simple..."

The remains of the pre-Qin immortal may not have been very advanced in their lives. After all, according to the common sense from the mirror world, the corpses of foundation-building masters do not have this ability.

It should be that he ate some ancient treasure before he died. This treasure may be related to the blood of the Phoenix. Xu Xuan smelled a breath similar to that of the Phoenix Stone.

Then there is this Taiyin Refining Form Method.

This method has two functions. The first one, Xu Xuan named it "Immortal Transformation". Soaking in the immortal medicine, wandering in the void, like a dead person, can be reborn again after several years.

At that time, all the conditions will be restored to the peak and will last for about sixty years.

This method will not increase life span. For example, a person with a life span of 100 years is seriously injured at the age of 50 and has missing arms and legs. He can be revived by using this method, but he can only live to 100 years old.

The second method, Xu Xuan named rebirth, is that a person dies and soaks for a thousand years after death to be reborn. He thinks it is probably bragging. Rebirth after death is too magical. Even the top Mahayana strongmen in the mirror world can hardly do it.

Not to mention this world without demons, it is almost the same as becoming a ghost, but there is no spiritual world without soil for ghosts to survive.

"The first method is good." Xu Xuan's eyes lit up. It is equivalent to delaying aging and staying young for sixty years. It is not only about appearance, but also the peak of the body.

You have to know that cultivators will also age, especially in the last quarter of their lifespan. Some of them look young, most likely because of some disguise techniques.

Xu Xuan is 39 years old now, and he will be 40 in a few months.

Even if he breaks through the Qi training at the age of eighty or ninety, it is still difficult to break through nine levels to the foundation building in the remaining one hundred years.

In addition, in two years, after the age of fifty, the chance of breakthrough begins to decrease, and it becomes more and more difficult as time goes by.

If you can stay young for sixty years, the probability of breakthrough is almost constant and remains at the level of youth.

Xu Xuan couldn't help but correspond to the price in the mirror world.

The peak of sixty years... It is probably a guaranteed secret technique that even Yuanying would want, right?

What is the appropriate price?

Xu Xuan definitely doesn't want to try it himself first, if he really dies, it will be the end.

As for Ganoderma lucidum, he is not willing to share it with Hong Yi.

He set his sights on the divine liquid in Madam Xin Zhui's coffin.

Maybe it still has some use.

Xu Xuan installed three jars and prepared to go back and refine them.

Put the remaining things back in place, tomb robbing is shameful

Walking out of the tomb, the elites of the Baidi Sect are still guarding, and Li Changsheng is standing beside.

"Meet the Heavenly Master!"

"Rebury the tomb and announce to the public that all the treasures have been taken." Xu Xuan thought for a while and said, "Arrange a few Taoists to perform rituals all day long. It's best to do some actions to make people think there are ghosts here."

Just saying that the treasures have been moved away cannot stop curious people. Only these weird things can stop people from exploring.

Or hire the descendants of the local Li Cang to sweep the tomb and offer sacrifices.

"Yes." Li Changsheng said again, "Heavenly Master, the Jinyiwei interrogated him."

"Is he still alive?"

"Alive, Sun Yin said he wants to join the Baidi Sect."

Xu Xuan lowered his head and thought, and said, "Let's talk about it when we get there."

Changsha, the prison.

The cell is dim and dark, and the damp and moldy smell is fragrant.

Li Jianxing personally guarded and led Xu Xuan to the depths of the prison.

A ragged prisoner was held in solitary confinement in the cell.

Sun Yin looked very embarrassed at this time. Not only were his legs disabled, but he was also severely tortured. There was not a single good spot on his body.

Looking at Xu Xuan who was walking over, Sun Yin's eyes showed a gentle look, and he secretly swore in his heart that no matter how much suffering he suffered, he would find a chance to bring the news to the Taoist master.

Although he couldn't bear it and told a lot of secrets, as long as Xu Xuan's secrets were known, there would be a solution.

In his opinion, Xu Xuan was a misinformation.

If Taiyi Dao had been prepared, and laid out cannons, gunpowder, land mines and other things in advance, and directly used resources to hit him, I don't believe that this guy couldn't be killed.

It's a pity that the people of Taiyi Dao didn't know the news yet, otherwise they would be exhausted sooner or later if they sent people over in waves.

Xu Xuan didn't speak, but picked up the book next to him, which recorded the confession of the interrogation.

The Taoist master of Taiyi Dao was named Sun Taixuan, who was the highest-ranking person in Taiyi Dao. His whereabouts were uncertain, and usually only Sun Taixuan notified them.

Next up are the three canal commanders, one of whom is Sun Yin.

As a high-ranking official, Sun Yin naturally knows the secret method of Taiyi Dao, which is called "Huangting Neijing Magic".

The official name is not called insects. They believe that insects are actually the spirits of the internal organs. With the help of these spirits, the body can be strengthened by nurturing them.

However, due to the lack of spiritual energy, the insects can no longer be reproduced. The only three species of insects were given by the Taoist master of Taiyi Dao, and no one knows where they came from.

Xu Xuan watched for a long time. The mystery of this method far exceeds the so-called Gu insect technique. This is not an evil Gu technique, but a beneficial insect that is in harmony with people.

However, due to environmental changes and the fact that the Taoist master did not know what method he used to preserve the insects, the insects now look sinister.

"I have spiritual energy, maybe I can reproduce it." Xu Xuan thought to himself. Two spells appeared at once, and he suddenly felt full.

"Tianshi! Tianshi! I am willing to surrender!"

Sun Yin suddenly spoke, his tone was extremely humble.

"You? Not qualified, take him down and behead him." Xu Xuan glanced at Sun Yin calmly. This kind of person is a leader, but he has no weaknesses and is difficult to control.

"Yes!"

"You... are shameless!"

With a scream, Sun Yin completely lost his breath.
