When a person's desire to live was rekindled, the only thing one could do was to tell them that even if the path ahead was filled with darkness, they had to press forward because there was no turning back. Hope was the best driving force on this path.
Lu Zhou looked at Yu Shangrong who was prostrated on the ground.
After a moment's silence, he said, "Get up."
Yu Shangrong sat up and picked up the black brocade box.
Lu Zhou said, "This pill is extraordinary. It can grant you 200 years of life."
"200 years is enough." Yu Shangrong was not greedy.
The power released by the Longevity Sword and the strike he unleashed with all his might only granted him 200 years of life.
Lu Zhou said, "That's not enough.
It's far from enough. How are you going to reach the Nine-leaf stage in 200 years? "
Yu Shangrong was puzzled.
Lu Zhou continued to say, "It's just as you said. There's only darkness behind the door to the Nine-leaf stage … However, I don't think so."
There was no easy path.
The journey from the One-leaf stage to the Eight-leaf stage was fraught with obstacles to begin with. How could it be easy to reach the Nine-leaf stage from the Eight-leaf stage?
Yu Shangrong was shocked.
Before the Cave of Reflection, he had thought his master was only trying to vent his anger when he said he wanted to reach the Nine-leaf stage.
Now, it seemed like things were not as simple as he thought.
Lu Zhou saw that Yu Shangrong was confused so he did not continue the topic. Instead, he pointed at the brocade box in Yu Shangrong's hand and said, "Take this pill."
Yu Shangrong opened the brocade box.
A gloomy Longevity Pill lay quietly in the brocade box.
When he opened the box, he could smell a strong medicinal scent.
However, the medicinal scent was fragrant and seeped into his heart.
At the same time, there was a powerful fluctuation of energy.
Yu Shangrong was slightly shocked. "A newly refined pill."
The longevity pill was capable of extending one's life due to the immense energy contained in it. However, the energy would evaporate over time. It was not like wine where the older it was, the more fragrant it would be. Over time, it would become cheaper.
He did not expect the longevity pill to be so new.
How could Yu Shangrong not know the huge cost of refining a longevity pill?
"Eat it," Lu Zhou said.
Yu Shangrong no longer hesitated.
He placed the pill in his mouth.
At first, it was slightly warm. However, when the pill touched his tongue, he felt a burning sensation.
The pill seemed to have come to life as it slid into his stomach. Before he could even taste it, the entire pill fell into his stomach.
That feeling was as if he had swallowed a big red date.
Then, the burning sensation started to burn in his abdomen.
His life's potential was stimulated.
It was at this moment —
Lu Zhou raised his hand and struck Yu Shangrong.
"Don't move!"
He could not move even if he wanted to.
In a situation where he had lost all of his cultivation, coupled with the explosive power of the elixir, he could not move at all.
Lu Zhou struck with his palm.
A cooling sensation washed over him, counteracting nearly half of the burning sensation.
Realization dawned on Yu Shangrong.
He was undoing the binding curse.
Under the palm strike, the binding spell dissipated along with the burning sensation.
Everything returned to silence.
The long-awaited energy erupted from his dantian like a volcano, gushing into his meridians and spreading throughout his body.
With the support of his Eight-leaf power, the burning sensation was negligible.
The effects of the longevity pill were further demonstrated.
It seeped into his entire body.
Lu Zhou saw Yu Shangrong's hair was gradually returning to its original look.
This meant that the longevity pill was taking effect …
Time ticked by.
Yu Shangrong was immersed in absorbing the power.
Lu Zhou had noticed Yu Shangrong's loyalty when he kowtowed again. At this moment, his loyalty was increasing.
Humans were strange creatures. With a single thought, they could be worlds apart. With a single thought, they could change their minds.
The next day, the sky brightened.
When Yu Shangrong felt that he had absorbed most of the pill's effects, he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was his master sitting cross-legged at the table opposite him. His eyes were closed as he rested.
There were various books on the table. When he looked around, he saw books on lifespan, maps, and books on Eight-leaf cultivation methods.
There were other books on the shelves as well.
Yu Shangrong was momentarily stunned.
It was not very bright last night. Now that he looked at it, it seemed like his master had been preparing for this.
What made him feel emotional was …
His master was sitting opposite him.
This meant his master had been watching him the entire night.
Yu Shangrong felt his energy had been replenished. All that was left was a problem of his condition.
He bowed at Lu Zhou again.
Without another word, he picked up his Longevity Sword and left the room.
As soon as he stepped into the eastern pavilion, a dignified voice rang in the air. "To the southern pavilion."
Yu Shangrong replied, "Understood."
Lu Zhou opened his eyes slowly. His night of meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls was considered average.
However, he noticed that the mission to increase the lifespan of the melilot had been completed.
Just as he expected, the melilot referred to Yu Shangrong.
The mission reward was 2,000 merit points.
As for the other mission, the new Open Heavenly Writing scroll, the ancient parchment drawing showed that it was in the northwest corner. It should be there …
When Lu Zhou saw that it was still early, he closed his eyes and continued to meditate on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
…
In the southern pavilion.
Duanmu Sheng carried his Overlord Spear and stood outside Mingshi Yin's room. "Old Fourth, spar with me …"
Mingshi Yin. "…"
After fidgeting for a while, he walked out of the room and said, "Third Senior Brother, we're not on the same level … I suggest that Old Eighth is a good fit. He has the zen tunic and boxing gloves. He can take a beating. "
"He's just sprouted a leaf …" Duanmu Sheng stepped forward and grabbed Mingshi Yin.
"We can keep looking for Elder Hua!"
"The Turtle Retreat Technique is too annoying!"
Mingshi Yin was speechless. He thought to himself, 'Aren't you annoyed that I keep running away?'
"Don't, don't, don't … I have to see Second Senior Brother. Once Second Senior Brother's problem is solved, you can spar with him, "Mingshi Yin said.
"Second Senior Brother? He's lost his cultivation base now … He's no match for me. " Duanmu Sheng felt that his words were inappropriate. He added, "I can't unleash my advantage in a battle without Primal Qi."
"Third Senior Brother is right. Second Senior Brother is no match for you."
Boom!
A loud explosion rang in the air.
The two of them were stunned. They looked outside the southern pavilion.
'What's going on?
Who dares to cause trouble in the Evil Sky Pavilion? '
Even Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, who was sleeping like a dead pig, was jolted awake.
"Who's that? Let's go have a look." Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng walked out of the southern pavilion.
Shortly after …
They arrived outside the southern pavilion.
Many female disciples had gathered at the edge of the plaza outside the southern pavilion to watch.
"Second Senior Brother?"
"It can't be …"
In the center of the plaza, Yu Shangrong stood on top of the stone pillar. He held his Longevity Sword in his arms as the wind blew against him.
His white hair had turned black. The people present were shocked.
"His sword's cold …"
"His aura's cold as well …"
"It should be cold standing on top of him …"
Pan Zhong mumbled.
Zhou Jifeng poked him. He rolled his eyes and said, "Shut up! Can't you see how pitiful Elder Hua is? His cultivation base has recovered, my foot! "
The person standing at the front of the stone pillar …
He was none other than Elder Hua, Elder Hua, who was most skilled in defense.
Hua Wudao had been near the southern pavilion for a long time. When he saw that Yu Shangrong's cultivation base had recovered, he wanted to challenge him. He knew he could not defeat Yu Shangrong. He merely wanted to test the defensive power of his Six Compatible Seal.
Alas, he could not even withstand a single hit.
Hua Wudao looked up at Yu Shangrong with a pained expression.
"Again!" Hua Wudao shouted.
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. His voice drifted down from above. "You're weak. You have to work harder."
Hua Wudao said awkwardly, "I don't believe I can't withstand two hits."
The Six Compatible Seal was activated.
The nine large characters began to spin.
The others parted.
The Six Compatible Seal shrouded Hua Wudao as the Eight Trigrams appeared under his feet.
"Elder Hua, are you asking for less now? Just two hits? "Mingshi Yin's voice rang in the air.
