At the same time!
In a remote place, there was a lush mountain range.
In the mountain range, there were strange peaks and lush vegetation.
A clear river meandered through the entire mountain range.
There was a simple little courtyard by the river.
The courtyard was about a hundred meters in size.
It was surrounded by a row of wooden fences that were more than a meter tall.
There were a few vegetable gardens that were planted with wild vegetables.
The wooden building in the courtyard was also built with ordinary wood. It was three stories tall and did not have any extravagant decorations. It was extremely simple.
In front of the gate of the courtyard, there was a small path paved with gravel that led to the river.
At this moment.
In front of a stone table in the courtyard.
Three old men sat around the table.
Two of them had white hair and white beards. They had the demeanor of an immortal and did not have any aura on them. They were like two ordinary people.
The other old man was even older.
He had one foot in the grave and was so skinny that he looked like he would fall with a gust of wind. His face was full of wrinkles and there was no color at all.
On his body, he was wearing very old linen clothes. However, they were very clean.
There was a tea set on the stone table.
The tea was bubbling and the fragrance of the tea was intoxicating.
The linen old man grabbed the teacup with trembling hands and took a sip gently. He sighed. "I wonder where Xue 'er went. It's been more than a year and she hasn't returned. "
"Father, Xue 'er has grown up and has her own opinions."
"Furthermore, her cultivation is not weak. Nothing will happen to her."
"That's right, Father. Don't worry about her."
The two white-haired old men laughed.
"I raised her single-handedly. How can I not be worried?"
"Are the two of you hiding something from me?"
The linen old man looked at the two of them and frowned.
Although the old man was doddering, the words that came out of his mouth carried a bit of dignity.
"This …"
The two white-haired old men looked at each other with panic in their eyes.
The linen old man looked at the two of them and said unhappily, "I knew you were hiding something from me. Tell me, where did Xue 'er go?"
"Nothing …"
Before the two white-haired old men could finish, the linen old man was furious and shouted, "I want to hear the truth!"
Cough, cough!
Perhaps because he was angry and hurt himself, the old man coughed violently after he finished speaking.
His face was paler than before.
"Father, please calm down."
"We'll talk, we'll talk."
"Xue 'er went to find a way to prolong your life."
The two white-haired old men hurriedly stepped forward and consoled the old man in sackcloth.
"Life Extension …"
The old man in sackcloth couldn't help but fall silent.
After a long time, he gently pushed the two white-haired old men away and sighed, "I've already taken the Life Prolongation Pill. Is there still a way to prolong my life?"
"We know."
"Xue 'er must know as well."
"But she didn't want you to die!"
"We've tried to stop her, but you know her temper. We can't stop her!"
The two old men in white sighed.
"Sigh!"
The old man let out a long sigh and said, "Both of you put down what you were doing and came back to accompany me for more than a year. Why don't the two of you go back first and come back when I'm about to die?"
Hearing this, the two white-haired old men felt their hearts ache.
"Father, what are you talking about?"
"In the past, the two of us have always been adventuring outside and have never truly accompanied you or cared about you."
"Every time we think about this, we only feel guilty towards you."
"Please let us accompany you through this period of time!"
The two white-haired old men lowered their heads, their faces filled with self-blame and guilt.
Yes.
There were many people in this world like them.
When their parents were still alive, nothing mattered.
They didn't even have the patience to sit down and talk to their parents.
It was only when they were about to lose them that they realized how much they had missed out on in their lives.
However, it was too late to realize it now.
Because what they had lost could never be found again.
The old man in sackcloth chuckled hoarsely. "I've never blamed the two of you. A man's ambition is to travel far!"
"Thank you, Father."
"Please let us stay. We really want to accompany you."
"As for the matters in our hands, we've already taken care of them. You don't have to worry."
The two of them said.
The old man in sackcloth looked at the two of them and nodded with a smile. "Alright, hurry and bring Xue 'er back. It's rare for a family to be reunited. Let us spend this period of time happily."
"Yes."
The two of them nodded with tears in their eyes.
Swoosh!
However, at this moment.
A white-clothed woman in ragged clothes descended outside the courtyard. She was in a sorry state.
"Xue 'er!"
The two white-haired old men hurriedly stood up and looked at the white-clothed woman.
The old man in sackcloth also grabbed the walking stick beside him and stood up slowly. His turbid eyes were filled with joy.
"Great-grandfather!"
The moment the white-clothed woman saw the old man in sackcloth, she hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and ran over.
"Lass."
"Everyone has to die. Don't be too sad."
"Actually, I'm already very happy because I have the two of you to accompany me when I'm about to leave."
The old man in sackcloth grabbed the white-clothed woman's hand and his face was filled with love.
"Great-grandfather …"
When the white-clothed woman heard this, tears streamed down her face.
"Xue 'er, don't cry."
"Great-grandfather will be sad when he sees this."
The two white-haired old men stepped forward and said.
However, between their brows, there was also a sense of sadness that could not be dissolved.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Don't cry."
"Great-grandfather, grandfather, second grandfather, we should laugh."
The white-clothed woman wiped away her tears and looked at the three of them with a smile.
"Yes."
"We should be more open-minded and take things lightly."
The old man in sackcloth nodded.
"No, no, no."
The white-clothed woman waved her hand and looked at the old man in sackcloth. She grabbed the old man's hand and said happily, "Great-grandfather, I've found a way to extend your life."
"A way to extend my life?"
The old man in sackcloth was stunned.
The two white-haired old men were also stunned.
The old man in sackcloth rubbed the white-clothed woman's forehead and said with a smile, "Lass, you only know how to make Great-grandfather happy."
"I don't."
"This time, it's real."
The white-clothed woman hurriedly took out the Eternal Youth Elixir and handed it to the old man in sackcloth.
"What elixir is this?"
The three of them looked at the Eternal Youth Elixir suspiciously.
"I don't know either."
"But the person who gave me this elixir told me that this elixir can extend my life by 100,000 years."
"Great-grandfather, please take it."
The white-clothed woman said.
"What?"
"100,000 years?"
"Xue 'er, now is not the time for jokes."
The two white-haired old men trembled and looked at the white-clothed woman as they said.
"Grandfather."
"Second grandfather."
"I'm not joking."
"Although I don't know if he's telling the truth, I'm willing to believe him."
"Great-grandfather, please take it. Perhaps it really will work."
The white-clothed woman looked at the old man in sackcloth anxiously.
"Lass."
"Great-grandfather has already taken the Life Extension Elixir. How can this elixir be useful?"
"Don't be fooled by others!"
The old man in sackcloth said.
"Just take it!"
"What if it really works?"
The white-clothed woman was very anxious.
"This …"
The old man in sackcloth looked at the two white-haired old men.
"Father, it's better if you don't take it. What if the person who gave this elixir to Xue 'er has bad intentions?"
"I'm also worried!"
The two of them transmitted their voices.
Hearing this, the old man in sackcloth looked at the anxious white-clothed woman again and finally nodded with a smile. "Alright, Great-grandfather will take it."
"Father …"
The two white-haired old men hurriedly called out.
"Xue 'er went through untold hardships to find this elixir. I can't let her down."
"Even if it's poisonous, I don't care."
The old man in sackcloth grabbed the Eternal Youth Elixir and put it into his mouth.
The white-clothed woman looked at the old man in sackcloth with anticipation.
The two white-haired old men looked nervous.
Boom!
Not long after the old man in sackcloth took the Eternal Youth Elixir, an incomparably majestic life force suddenly exploded in the old man's body.
Then.
A miraculous scene appeared.
The aura of death on the old man's body quickly dissipated.
Traces of blood quickly returned to his wrinkled face.
Even his thin and frail body seemed to have become more plump.
"It really works?"
The two white-clothed old men were astonished.
The white-clothed woman's face also showed a trace of surprise.
As the person involved, the old man in sackcloth felt it most vividly.
He could clearly feel that every part of his body was changing.
Especially his bones.
The bones in his body were originally 'old and rotten', but now, they were slowly becoming stronger.
Moreover, his essence, energy, and spirit were completely renewed.
It was as if he had been reborn. His entire body was incomparably comfortable.
"Unbelievable!"
"Xue 'er, who gave you this elixir?"
The two white-haired old men exclaimed as they looked at the white-clothed woman.
However, the white-clothed woman didn't hear them.
Because now, she was completely immersed in joy.
About a hundred breaths later.
The majestic life force had been completely absorbed by the old man in sackcloth.
Although his appearance didn't change much, his old body was no longer skinny and frail. He even vaguely looked a little stronger.
His turbid eyes were now bright and full of vigor. There were even wisps of sharpness.
His body was also completely different from before. It was filled with a powerful force.
"This …"
However, looking at himself, the old man in sackcloth found it hard to believe.
Was this a dream?
He felt that his old body wasn't any worse than a young man's.
"Ha!"
Suddenly!
He raised his arm and punched the stone table in front of him.
"Father!"
The two white-haired old men were shocked and hurriedly went forward to stop him.
However, in the next moment.
A scene that made them go wild with joy appeared.
They saw that the old man in sackcloth's punch had directly shattered the stone table.
When they looked at the old man in sackcloth, they saw that he was completely fine.
The white-clothed woman looked at the shattered stone table and asked, "Great-grandfather, how do you feel?"
"Great."
"I've never felt better."
"Now, I feel like I've returned to the time when I was young. My body is filled with strength."
The old man in sackcloth smiled.
Even his voice was no longer hoarse and was filled with strength.
When the white-clothed woman heard this, she immediately threw herself into the old man's arms and cried loudly.
And this was tears of joy.
The two white-haired old men couldn't help but cry when they saw this scene.
