Chapter 9 The Elixir
After discussing for a long time, everyone finally guessed that it should be the four words "ancient forbidden land".
"This place is probably not a peaceful and pure land. It's too quiet around here..." Wang Ziwen has always been careful and soon discovered something was wrong.
Everyone nodded, and their hearts, which had just been relieved, couldn't help but be lifted again.
"No, I have to go to the bathroom!"
After someone interrupted them, everyone felt uncomfortable and both men and women quickly found a place to relieve themselves.
Chai Xin and his fellow men had no scruples. They each found a tree and started releasing water.
"Hey, there's a spring over there!"
Chai Xin had just tied his belt when he heard Pangbo's call.
"Elixir!"
No matter how hard Chai Xin tried to control himself, his heart still started beating faster when he saw the spring dozens of meters away and a dozen half-meter-high trees.
As you get closer, the bright red fruits on the thirteen small trees and the rich fragrance emanating from the magical spring become more and more intoxicating.
"It smells really good, but...is it poisonous?"
Zhang Ziling swallowed his saliva.
"Ye Fan, you have always been in good health, why don't you try it first?"
Pangbo laughed.
"I'll go first."
Chai Xin didn't wait for them to stop him and decisively picked a fruit and put it into his mouth.
"Chaihuo, you are too honest. I was just joking with him!"
When Pang Bo and the other two saw this, they felt warm in their hearts and quickly reached out to pick the fruits.
After all, they had guessed that this place was dangerous, and the fruits growing here were probably not simple. In their opinion, Chai Xin tried it first without hesitation, obviously intending to test the poison for them.
Little did they know that Chai Xin knew better than anyone that what was before him was not a poison, but an elixir of immortality!
"Sure enough, even with the same experience, people's hearts are very different."
Ye Fan thought of the faces of Liu Yunzhi and others, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the comparison.
As soon as they bit into the fruit, they felt the juice overflowing, the fragrant breath rushed straight into their internal organs, and the taste was indescribable. Immersed in the deliciousness, they did not notice the astonishment on Chai Xin's face.
He just brought the fruit to his mouth, but before he could open his mouth, the fruit disappeared out of thin air!
"Even the elixir of immortality?"
After being stunned for a short moment, Chai Xin finally realized that it was the work of the mysterious ancient jade in his sea of consciousness again.
“It smells so good! It’s so delicious!”
After eating one fruit, Pangbo had no more scruples and grabbed two more and stuffed them into his mouth.
Seeing that they were not polite, Chai Xin also quickly reached out and picked two more. As soon as the two fruits were in his hand, they disappeared again and were collected by Gu Yu again.
"There's one left. Take it to Yiyi."
Ye Fan drank a sip of the magical spring and put away the last fruit.
Each person had three fruits. They didn't feel anything when they were eating, but now they found themselves extremely full and no longer felt hungry. They all exclaimed in amazement.
"If I can't make a good medicine, won't I be at a huge loss?"
Only Chai Xin felt like crying but had no tears. However, the ancient jade was totally out of his control, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
In order to avoid wasting his time, he quickly picked up the mineral water bottle, filled it with the magic spring and drank it.
However, at least 80% of the sacred spring was also collected by Gu Yu, and only 20% was actually swallowed by him.
He was unwilling to give up, so he filled the bottle again and gulped it down. This time he only collected half of the holy spring and drank the rest.
After drinking half of the bottle, even though he knew it had magical effects, Chai Xin couldn't drink any more. He could only fill the bottle one last time and put it in his pocket.
Until everyone filled their mineral water bottles and started to go down the mountain, the ancient jade in Chai Xin's sea of consciousness was still churning with misty gases and vibrating continuously, but still no new pills appeared.
"It's probably because the potency of the Immortal Elixir and the Divine Spring is too strong. It's far beyond the reach of a few leaves of the Bodhi tree or the blood of a small crocodile, so it takes longer to refine."
His guess was correct. After about ten minutes, the ancient jade finally stopped vibrating, and six purple pills the size of green beans emerged on it.
"Yuanling Pill, taking it can improve your bones and physique, and increase your lifespan by a hundred years."
It was just a simple message, but it made Chai Xin so excited that he almost cried out loud.
The three fruits turned into six pills, each of which could increase one's lifespan by 100 years, for a total of 600 years!
The complete elixir of immortality can only extend the emperor's life by ten thousand years, and this incomplete elixir of immortality can only add a thousand years to his life at most.
What's more, the three fruits are only a quarter of the incomplete elixir of immortality. It would be great if they could increase one's lifespan by two to three hundred years in total!
After being refined by ancient jade, its effectiveness has been increased by at least twice!
"Take two pills first. They are enough to resist the erosion of time in the ancient forbidden land."
In the original novel, everyone who did not take the elixir of immortality did not die from the erosion of time. The two Yuanling Pills that Chai Xin took were enough to prevent him from becoming an old man.
Otherwise, if he took too much at once, he was worried that he would become like Ye Fan and Pang Bo in the original book and turn into an eleven or twelve-year-old. That would be too troublesome.
It is worth mentioning that there seems to be a mysterious space above the ancient jade. After all the pills are refined, they will float silently above it. If Chai Xin does not take it out, the pills will stay there.
Today, there is a Qi and Blood Pill and four Yuan Ling Pills on top of the ancient jade.
After taking two Yuanling Pills in succession, Chai Xin didn't feel anything special except for the strong medicinal fragrance and a slight heat all over his body.
"Would you like to take two more?"
After hesitating for a while, Chai Xin finally decided not to continue taking it.
After all, you won't die even if you don't take the medicine, so there's no need to waste the Yuanling Pill right away. You can wait until you have learned the practice method before taking it, and perhaps you will be able to absorb the medicinal effects better.
"When the time comes, I can take the medicine and regain my youth even if I get older. It won't be a big problem."
"Yiyi, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Pangbo suddenly spoke.
I saw traces of tears on Liu Yiyi's face, as if she had been crying.
"Wang Yan took my fishing drum to look at it, and then she refused to give it to me..."
There was grievance and anger in Liu Yiyi's voice.
"Yiyi, you can't say that. We obviously exchanged voluntarily!"
Wang Yan said with her eyes wide open.
Chai Xin's attention was focused on the ancient jade as he walked along, and he had ignored Liu Yunzhi and the other two. He didn't expect that they would dare to make trouble.
Sure enough, a country is easy to change, but a person’s nature is hard to change!
"Snapped!"
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Chai Xin slapped Wang Yan hard on the other half of her face without saying a word.
"Did you turn a deaf ear to my words? How can a person be so stupid and shameless!"
Wang Yan, whose half face was already swollen, was now completely bruised. She fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment before she began to howl miserably.
"Chai Xin, you've really gone too far! You hit someone just because you disagree with him. Who do you think you are? Besides, the fishing drum originally belonged to me!"
Li Changqing actually jumped out again, his face full of indignation.
"boom!"
This time, without waiting for Chai Xin to make a move, Pang Bo directly smashed a bronze plaque on Li Changqing's shoulder, knocking him down instantly.
"You guys are too overbearing. Who do you think Wang Yan and Li Changqing are?"
Liu Yunzhi, who had been hiding behind, finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke.
