Chapter 306: Rejuvenation and Life Extension
Alan returned to the riverside cabin.
I accidentally noticed that the face reflected in the window seemed a little strange.
The origin space is similar to the meditation world, but it is different.
The life that passes away in the original space will be reflected truthfully in reality.
Eren integrated the essence of the Leviathan's ancestor and finally achieved his wish after 150 years of changes.
This is all thanks to the fact that he had been injected with level 1 to 3 anti-aging agents, which gave him a lifespan of 140 years, otherwise he would have probably died of old age in the Origin Space.
Allen's physical age is now over 30 years old.
Although there are no signs of aging, I am still less energetic than before.
People who are familiar with him can easily notice the changes in him.
Alan didn't want to be seen to be getting older.
Otherwise, how will you explain it if someone asks you?
After a little thought, he opened the storage bag.
Take out the first-level "rejuvenation agent" purchased earlier and inject it yourself.
Level 1 rejuvenation agent, after injection, you will be ten years younger.
Alan felt that every cell in his body was full of youthful vitality.
The face in the mirror becomes familiar again.
Let out a breath slowly.
Alan's mood was not completely relieved.
The fusion of Leviathan's origin is just the beginning.
Next, at least two ancestral origins must be integrated.
The origin of the ancestor Behemoth.
The origin of the first Titan.
The positions of these two origins in the bloodline galaxy are deeper than the origin of the ancestor Leviathan, and they are more difficult to merge.
Alan had to worry about whether he could live long enough to pay for his wrong choice when the two origins were integrated.
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"The plan to integrate the origin of the ancestors needs to be slowed down."
"Before that, we must find a way to get more powerful life-extending potions!"
Alan muttered to himself.
The Holy Demon Ancestral Court does possess high-level "anti-aging agents" and "rejuvenating agents".
However, in order to obtain advanced potions, two conditions must be met.
First of all, the level of the Galaxy Guard must not be lower than the level of the potion.
Secondly, you must have enough merit points to redeem potions.
Alan's cultivation level is in the early eighth level.
He has crossed the threshold to be promoted to a four-star guard.
However, having a high level of cultivation is not enough.
Alan still needs to make more contributions to the Holy Demon Ancestral Court in order to be promoted to a four-star guard.
Before this, he could only enjoy the treatment of a three-star guard and could exchange for level 3 potions at most.
He had already been injected with the 1st to 3rd level anti-aging agents, and the efficacy had been exhausted in the origin space of the ancestor Leviathan.
What you can still redeem now are the 2nd and 3rd level anti-aging agents.
Alan stroked the Galaxy Ring, intending to check how many contribution points he had left to see if they were enough to exchange for a high-level anti-aging agent.
As soon as the Galaxy Ring was activated, he was stunned.
The usage time of the riverside cabin has been reset to zero.
At first, Allen thought there was a bug in the Galaxy Ring.
When I checked the system's built-in calendar, I realized that a whole year had passed since the day I entered the cabin!
He spent too much time in the Origin Space.
Converted into astral time, it is about eight months.
After integrating the origin, he practiced by the river for another four months.
That adds up to a year!
As early as more than four months ago, Allen's riverside cabin had been overdue for payment.
Not being kicked out was considered very polite to him.
Alan thought again that he had spent almost all of this year practicing by the river.
After he owes the bill, if someone comes to check and finds that he is not in the cabin, wouldn’t that expose his secret?
This did not happen, thanks to the great will of the galaxy.
Through prayer, Allen received the blessing of the will of the galaxy.
When he practiced outside the house, no one could detect his presence.
At the same time, an illusionary substitute was automatically generated in the house, which could conceal the surveillance of Mr. Aardman and even the clan leaders.
With a nervous mood, Alan returned to the observatory tower.
Go to Mr. Aardman as soon as possible and pay the outstanding fees.
"It is common to be so absorbed in practice that one forgets about time."
Mr. Aardman smiled and consoled the young man.
"Normally, I will send out a notice on the day when the payment is overdue to remind the practitioner to renew the payment."
"But you are an exception. Someone has already renewed your subscription."
"Mr. Aardman, who is the person you are talking about?"
"Haha! Let me start from the beginning."
"When I found out that I had arrived at your cabin, I cast a spell to check and found that you were meditating in seclusion in the cabin."
"If I send a spiritual message at this time, it may interrupt your meditation and interfere with your practice."
"So I plan to wait until you finish your meditation before notifying you."
"But after waiting for a long time, you still haven't woken up. My patience has been exhausted!"
Mr. Aardman glared at the young man and continued:
"Just when I couldn't help wanting to send the letter, I suddenly remembered that His Highness Guang had repeatedly told me that you were his good friend in his previous life. If you get into trouble or run into any trouble, you must report it to him immediately!"
"For His Highness's sake, I dared not refuse, so I reported to him that you owed me money."
"After receiving the message, His Highness Guang asked me not to disturb you and to renew the rent for your cabin until you come out of seclusion."
Finally, Mr. Aardman said with envy:
"Alan, you really made a good friend!"
Alan was indescribably moved.
I spent 300 merit points, renewed my training time for 300 days, and said goodbye to Mr. Aardman.
When I returned home, I wrote a letter to Yuan Tianguang to thank him for his care.
When writing this letter, Allen was feeling quite conflicted.
Yuan Tianguang, who was Ingres in his previous life, was absolutely friendly to him.
But he himself has hidden too many secrets, such as his re-contact with Fengyue, the Taotie bloodline becoming its own ancestor, quietly leaving the riverside hut, and integrating the origin of Leviathan...
If you can't be honest with your friends, you will inevitably feel guilty.
Alan hesitated whether to tell Yuan Tianguang about these things.
After much consideration, he was unable to be completely honest, so he only wrote in the letter about Feng Yue's infiltration into the Holy Demon Ancestral Temple .
Not long after, I received a reply from Yuan Tianguang.
"I have also noticed the activities of the evil spirits from outer space."
"Don't worry, just keep in touch with her."
"If there is any movement, tell me immediately."
"Renewing the lease for the riverside cottage is just a piece of cake. You don't have to worry about it. Just focus on your cultivation."
"When your cultivation reaches the legendary level, I will try to help you fuse the blood of high-level angels and demons."
"Then I will take you out of the riverside cottage and into the depths of the Bloodline Galaxy to find the ancestral origin that suits you and try to fuse it."
"To be honest, the Holy Demon Ancestor Court, and even the Crystal Wall System where the entire Warlock World is located, is about to face a severe test."
"We need more brothers and sisters to work together to complete a grand plan."
"If successful, the entire world will be transformed and completely free from the threat of the ancient evil god and his fanatic followers."
"On the contrary, if our plan fails, all good things in the world will be destroyed."
"In order to protect this world, we must have enough power."
"Alan, I hope you can grow up as soon as possible and fill the vacant position of clan leader."
…
After reading Yuan Tianguang's letter, Alan's heart was filled with emotions.
All the ancestors left the Crystal Wall System where the Warlock World was located, and only one Holy Demon Ancestor was left, and he was unable to support the world alone.
Forced to decompose into several bloodlines to guard the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, this is the origin of the first generation of Holy Demon Sect Master.
In the long confrontation with the ancient evil gods, the sect leader will also fall and be reincarnated as a mortal.
The reincarnated one awakens the Holy Demon Bloodline and immediately gains legendary power, but is not yet a clan leader.
One must return to the bloodline galaxy and fuse with an ancestral origin that is compatible with one's own nature in order to inherit the position of the patriarch.
When Angel's bloodline awakened, he returned to the Holy Demon Ancestral Court and experienced a series of trials deep in the bloodline galaxy.
Only by successfully integrating the "Origin of Light" can the reincarnation ceremony be completed and one can become the "Lord of Light".
Yuan Tianguang revealed in the letter that a huge crisis was approaching.
Alan also got the same news from Fengyue.
In this era, there are only seven masters left in the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, and its power is unprecedentedly weak.
On the contrary, although the ancient gods have not yet fully revived, the power they have accumulated is already quite powerful.
The "Wall of Heresy" has been re-erected, and the day when it devours the Blood Galaxy is not far away.
Alan knew that he didn't have much time left.
Yuan Tianguang hopes that he can grow up as soon as possible, integrate the holy demon bloodline and the ancestor's origin, and fill the vacant position of a sect leader.
Alan could guess without asking the plan that Yuan Tianguang hinted at in the letter: it was the so-called "Ancestor Canonization of Gods."
However, he didn't know that Alan had already merged with an original origin.
It was no difficulty for Allen to fuse the blood of angels and demons.
If he had this idea, he would have integrated it in the Origin City.
But he didn't want to take the path of becoming the leader of the Holy Demon Sect.
I don’t want to be controlled by the Saint Demon Ancestor and become a tool for deification.
Alan's bloodline is his own ancestor.
He was qualified to forge a completely new path, different from the path of caste system and theocracy.
But before that, there is something more urgent to do - extend your life first!
…
Observatory Tower, Exchange Hall.
Alan sat at the table by the window, looking through the catalog of pharmacies.
Within his authority, there are only two types of life-extending potions that can be exchanged.
Level 1 to 3 anti-aging agents have been used.
There are 1 to 3 levels of rejuvenation agents, and Allen only needs 2 and 3 levels. After the injection, his physiological age will be reversed by 30 and 100 years!
Obviously, the use of rejuvenating agents is more troublesome than anti-aging agents!
Allen's current biological age is only 20 years old. If he is directly injected with a Level 2 rejuvenation agent, won't he degenerate into a cell?!
This usage is no different from suicide.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of smart people in the Holy Demon Ancestral Court.
Before Alan came to the redemption hall, he went to the library first.
I was quite inspired by looking up the safe usage of rejuvenating agents.
The problem now is that the price of the tier 2 rejuvenation potion is too high, and he cannot afford to pay enough merits to redeem it, let alone the tier 3 rejuvenation potion!
Complete tasks, earn merits, and exchange them for potions - this is how ordinary people think.
However, Allen just didn't want to take the usual path.
After some deep thought, he actually found a shortcut to gain advantage!
"Give it a try! Maybe with a little money, you can accomplish something big!"
Alan rubbed his hands and continued to check the list of medicines.
A detailed list of ingredients is listed for each medicine.
Alan first copied down the formulas for the Level 2 and Level 3 Rejuvenating Agents.
He already has stock of most of the herbs or can buy them at low prices.
There are very few medicinal herbs that are so rare that you can’t buy them even if you have money.
However, medicines containing such herbs are more than just rejuvenating agents.
Alan sorted the prices from low to high, searching for potions containing some rare medicinal ingredients.
Then a new world was discovered!
Some medicines are not expensive in themselves, but they also contain one or two rare medicinal materials of inferior quality.
And so on.
Alan spent all his remaining contribution points and bought more than ten kinds of cheap medicines in one go.
The rare medicinal materials needed to refine the second- and third-level rejuvenation potions are scattered among these more than a dozen cheap potions.
The next step is a natural progression.
Extract rare medicinal materials from cheap medicinal materials, use them as raw materials to synthesize high-level rejuvenation agents!
This practice is actually not new.
For example, in Alan’s previous life, he had a group of very smart people.
Buy a lot of cold medicine through legal channels and extract illegal drugs from it.
There are many smart people in the world.
Alan was sure that someone must have thought of this method of panning for gold in the sand before him.
However, there are two major technical difficulties in replicating this set of operations on the rejuvenating agent.
First, extracting raw materials from medicine requires extremely advanced alchemy and pharmacy skills.
Secondly, even if it is extracted, the quality and dosage of the medicinal materials cannot meet the standards for synthesizing high-level rejuvenation agents.
After all the hassle, the final cost is likely to be higher than directly purchasing high-level rejuvenation agents, and you will end up losing more than you gain.
These two difficulties are not a problem for Allen.
A bone spur popped out from the palm of my left hand.
Bottle after bottle, they absorbed cheap chemicals, analyzed the raw materials, classified them, and stored them in venom glands.
Using the special ability of the poison gland, Alan can restore the potion into various medicinal materials and copy them!
This process is repeated over and over again to remove impurities, just like panning for gold in the sand.
It took Alan less than an hour to collect all the rare medicinal herbs.
The next step of refining medicine is even simpler.
Just spit it in and the yield rate will be 100%!
Using this opportunistic method, Alan successfully synthesized one level 2 and one level 3 rejuvenation agent.
Any medicine he has absorbed can be replicated through his venom glands.
This means that as long as Allen is willing, he can secrete level 1 to 3 rejuvenation agents at any time and inject them into people through bone spurs.
Of course, it is not good to secrete too much in a short period of time.
The synthesis of the potion requires his own blood and essence.
If you ejaculate too much, you will not get enough nutrition and it will be harmful to your health.
Recovering his thoughts, Alan stored the level 2 and level 3 rejuvenation agents in his venom glands and did not absorb them for the time being.
Next, according to the method recorded in a document in the library, I took a "triggering spell" on myself and set the triggering conditions:
When the physiological age is over 50 years old, absorb the 2nd level rejuvenation agent; when the physiological age is over 120 years old, absorb the 3rd level rejuvenation agent.
This ensures that the rejuvenation agent takes effect at the right time.
The renewal of the riverside cottage and the purchase of potions used up all of Alan's merit points.
Next, he planned to fuse the origins of Behemoth and the Titan Ancestor, and he would probably have to undergo a long period of training in the origin space.
The current reserved time for cultivation is far from enough.
It is necessary to earn more merit points and exchange them for more training time.
By the way, you can upgrade the rating of Galaxy Guardian and gain the right to redeem 4th-level potions.
So, Alan stroked the Galaxy Ring, opened the task list posted by the seven sect leaders, and looked for a task suitable for him.
…
Mission Description:
The Jade Royal Court is recruiting alchemy assistants on a long-term basis!
Engaged in work such as collecting, refining and purifying medicinal materials.
Pay by piece rate, more work, more pay!
Every year, one outstanding employee is selected and given the honor of having dinner with the "Lord of Life" His Highness Luo Tianhua and discussing pharmacy!
…
Alan curled his lips and continued reading.
There are quite a few people who take on this task.
Several of them were old friends of Allen.
Caroline and Spencer, mother and daughter, and Tona and Bettin.
In the world of warlocks, they are all outstanding alchemy masters.
Coming to the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, wanting to continue to improve in pharmacy, it is undoubtedly a wise move to join the "Queen of Flowers" in the Emerald Royal Court.
Alan also has some small experience in pharmacy.
I am qualified to be Luo Tianhua's assistant.
So I added my name to the application list.
Soon, the application was approved.
What was even more unexpected to Allen was that Her Majesty the Queen actually wrote him a letter personally.
"I've heard from people that you are very talented in pharmacy."
"Xiao Guang also specifically told me to take good care of you."
"Welcome to join our big family, we look forward to your performance!"
…
Allen was flattered but also a little uneasy by Luo Tianhua's overly enthusiastic letter.
It seems that Caroline and her daughter, and perhaps Taona and Beiting, have often talked about Luo Tianhua's alchemy skills in front of him, which aroused her curiosity.
Also, what does it mean to “join our family”?
Could it be that Yuan Tianguang has already told her that he plans to train him as a newcomer to fill the vacant position of sect leader?
If this is true, it is not difficult for Allen to see that Luo Tianhua and Yuan Tianguang have a close relationship, just like real siblings.
However, Allen didn't want to attract Luo Tianhua's attention too early.
The other party is not only the Holy Demon Queen who masters the "origin of life", but also the "Goddess of Life and Medicine" worshipped by the "Church of Life". She is the idol of countless doctors, pharmacists and alchemists, and her believers are spread across all major planes!
Alan was worried that when he met Luo Tianhua face to face, his so-called talent in alchemy would be seen through, and it was all due to cheating in the system.
"I don't want to be this excellent employee!"
Alan smiled wryly to himself.
However, I have already accepted the offer for the alchemy assistant position. If I quit now, wouldn’t that be a slap in Sister Hua’s face?
In desperation, Allen had to write back to express his flattery and promise to do his best.
In fact, he had already made up his mind to collect some mid- to high-quality medicinal herbs every month and hand them in in exchange for merit points.
You can't perform too badly, nor can you stand out too much.
This is the best situation, as it allows one to obtain a stable income from merit while not arousing Luo Tianhua's suspicion.
Next, another mission caught Allen's attention.
The publisher is Yuan Tianhe, the master of the "Infinite Boat" in the water element world and the "Water Element Emperor".
The water elemental world has been in turmoil lately.
The followers of the ancient God of Winter and God of the Sea are frantically expanding their territory in the Water Elemental Realm and the nearby Eternal Glacier, the intermediary area between the Water Elemental Realm and the Wind Elemental Realm.
These two evil cult forces have posed a huge threat to the peace and stability of the water elemental world!
The Infinite Ship is recruiting Galaxy Guards above level three on a long-term basis to fight against the cultists lurking in the deep sea and glacial areas.
…
After Alan fused the blood of the Nine-headed Poison Dragon, his water combat ability was greatly improved.
By expanding the super-limit field, it can also impose blood suppression on the Leviathan people.
The followers of the ancient sea god and the winter goddess (Ice Queen) who developed in the water elemental world must include many sea monsters.
Sea monster creatures, most of which have Leviathan bloodline.
Even if the rank is as high as legendary, it is not difficult for Allen to deal with it with the blood suppression bestowed by the origin of the ancestor Leviathan.
With a slight nod, Alan accepted the mission of defeating the evil cult in the water elemental world.
From the blood suppression, Alan thought of the poisonous dragon in the underworld.
The Styx Poison Dragon clan is also the descendant of the ancestor Leviathan.
If I return to the underworld and suppress the blood of the poisonous dragon clan to force them to surrender, how will the dragons respond?
This idea made Alan excited!
Quickly search for tasks related to Poison Dragon.
Soon, a familiar place name came into view.
Xiguang City!
This elven city that has fallen into the shadowy underworld still remains above the River Styx, protected by the roots of the World Tree.
Trapped by environmental threats, the residents of the city united around the "Church of Life" and the "Church of Holy Light" to fight against the frequently invading demons, undead, and poisonous dragons that greedily gnawed at the tree roots.
Several of Allen's old friends live in Xiguang City.
Qinglan and Taona represent the "Church of Life", and Feilin, the new apostle of the "Church of Holy Light".
What surprised Allen was that not only did Taona eventually choose to join the "Church of Life", but the witch Helena also became an apostle of the "Church of Holy Light"!
As a Sister of Holy Light, she preached in Xiguang City.
After Helent awakened his demon-absorbing bloodline, he could indeed simulate divine magic and disguise himself as a clergyman.
But this little trick obviously could not be hidden from Yuan Tianguang.
Yuan Tianguang accepted this witch into his church. Isn't he afraid that Helen will be a traitor?
Did Helent truly worship the Holy Light and become a true clergyman, or did he steal divine power and evolve into a "blasphemous priest"?
Alan was quite curious about this.
In addition to the water elemental world, there are also believers of the sea god active in the deep ocean of the warlock world, which has attracted the attention of Origin City.
Mr. Miri commissioned his brother Aardman to issue a mission to recruit galactic guards, return to the warlock world, and eliminate the evil forces lurking in the deep sea.
Alan was planning to take some time to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives, so he took on this task.
