Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 164: Not Lack of Life
Squeak~!
The gate of the mansion opened automatically under the blow of a gust of wind, revealing a middle-aged man in gray standing outside the door and a Taoist boy about fifteen or sixteen years old standing half a step behind him.
This middle-aged man in gray, Lin Qianxing, even looked a little familiar.
This was the powerful man who fought against the Lilong whom he had seen on his way from Luozhou to Yunzhou.
If I remember correctly, he said at that time that he was Yan Zhu, the director of the Imperial Observatory?
In Lin Qianxing's perception, this person's aura is three times stronger than his own, and he doesn't know why he came here.
"Please come in." Lin Qianxing said calmly.
"Sorry to bother you." Yan Zhu said.
As he spoke, he stepped inside and walked all the way to the pavilion.
"Sit down." Lin Qianxing said.
Then he stretched out his hand and condensed two cups of tea out of thin air. Then he took out some of the spiritual tea that he had cultivated previously from the storage bracelet and threw it in.
Tea naturally appeared in the cup and was instantly heated by a slight bluish-purple lightning.
"This is just some coarse tea grown in the mountains. I hope you two don't mind." Lin Qianxing said with a smile.
This time he was also intentionally showing off, demonstrating his own principles and demonstrating his own strength.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too modest. Such a magical tea is rare even in the palace." Yan Zhu smiled calmly.
After saying that, he sat down, then stretched out his hand and used his magic power to pass another cup of tea to the boy beside him, but he did not mean to let him sit down.
The boy took the tea and drank it down without caring about its scalding temperature. Then he said politely, "Rong Hao thanks you for the gift of spiritual tea."
Lin Qianxing nodded slightly and said to Yan Zhu, "What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"
"It's nothing, it's just to thank you for helping me in Luancheng and saving the people in the city." Yan Zhu said.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxing also remembered what happened when he stopped Bai Zhu in Luancheng before.
"It's just a piece of cake, why do you need to come here in person?" Lin Qianxing said.
"It's just a simple favor to you, but it's a life-saving grace to the people of Luancheng." Yan Zhu stood up and saluted, saying, "I'm here to thank you for your help on behalf of the people of the whole city."
Lin Qianxing shook his head and said, "Okay, fellow Daoist, just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Yan Zhu smiled and said, "Although I did come to discuss something with you, I am also grateful to you sincerely."
Lin Qianxing did not comment. He said, "If you have nothing to say, I will not see you off."
"Ahem~!" Yan Zhu didn't expect Lin Qianxing to be so direct, and was a little slow to react. He immediately sorted out his words and said, "To be honest, I came here because I hope you can join the Si Tian Jian and become a guest official of our Si Tian Jian."
"You should know that I am already a guest official of the Monster Catching Bureau, right?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Of course, but this is not important, is it? No one stipulates that the guest officials of the Monster Catching Bureau cannot be the guest officials of the Imperial Observatory, right?" Yan Zhu said with a smile on his face.
"That makes sense." Lin Qianxing also nodded with a smile, and then said, "Then I agree."
"That would be great..." Yan Zhu said with a smile.
"Don't be impatient." Lin Qianxing interrupted Yan Zhu's smile and said, "I became a guest official of the Monster Catching Division. Jiao Shaoyi gave me a Shen Rong Pill, a magical power atlas, and the mysterious skills I wanted. What else can you give me?"
"If you join our Si Tian Jian, you can browse the Si Tian Jian library from now on, and I will also give you a longevity pill that can extend your life for a thousand years, and what you need most now..." Yan Zhu paused for a moment, and then said: "Information about the extraterritorial demons from all over the country of Dayu."
Lin Qianxing almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face when he heard that.
The first part was fine, but the last part was really beyond his expectations.
He found that he had not been low-key enough before.
Although he acted inconspicuously when he approached Gao Lixue, there were too many flaws.
Let me ask you, if he wanted to sell some things, why didn’t he go to the Yunzhou Monster Catching Bureau branch which was closer?
Is it because of lust for beauty?
As long as you investigate carefully, you can easily find out what Lin Qianxing did that day.
At most, he just shook hands with Gao Lixue, then left, and never went back to see her again.
There are many things in it that are worth pondering.
Traveling all the way just to shake someone's hand?
With Lin Qianxing's strength, if he directly forced Gao Lixue to be a slave, she would probably have no room to resist, right?
Next, as long as we investigate Gao Lixue's identity, we can easily analyze the trick.
Lin Qianxing felt that perhaps he should take advantage of the night when Gao Lixue was asleep, hide his presence, sneak over and take a bite before leaving.
Even though doing so might seem a bit embarrassing and dishonorable, it's better than having others discover that there's something wrong with you, right?
But who could have imagined that he would be investigated to this extent?
For a moment, Lin Qianxing also fell silent.
Seeing Lin Qianxing fall into silence, Yan Zhu spoke up to break the silence and asked, "What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
"I like some privacy." Lin Qianxing said coldly.
"Please forgive me, fellow Daoist. I dare not disrespect a powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers who suddenly appeared in the country of Dayu. If you had not saved the people of Luancheng, I would not dare to come here rashly to meet you and disturb your seclusion." Yan Zhu said politely.
Lin Qianxing also knew this was the truth. This was mainly his own problem. He was used to being a small person and couldn't make the transition all of a sudden.
With his current size, his every move would probably touch the hearts of a lot of people. Even if he just threw some garbage, people would probably guess the deeper meaning behind it, right?
Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Lin Qianxing said, "Forget it, but I really want to know, with so few people in the Si Tian Jian, how can you help me identify the extraterritorial demons in Dayu?"
Yan Zhu smiled and said, "There is a top-grade Daoist magic tool in the Sitianjian, called the Surveying Sinan. Through it, one can monitor the Feng Shui energy and all situations in the entire Dayu country. Whenever an extraterritorial demon descends, it will surely be easily detected. At that time, Daoist friends can go there and gain knowledge from it."
Lin Qianxing glanced at Yan Zhu with a smile. It seemed that he had only guessed half of it.
I thought I was only contacting time travelers for the knowledge they possessed.
Little did he know that he had a golden finger that could track the anchor point of the traverser's world in reverse, and could directly descend to the world the traverser had previously been in through the anchor point on the traverser's body.
However, it is hard to believe such a thing. After all, when it comes to the ability to cross the world, it usually requires at least the power of heaven to do it.
Even if he really said it, Yan Zhu probably wouldn't believe it and would just think he was joking.
"I am very tempted by the conditions you mentioned. In that case, I hope you will take care of me in the future." Lin Qianxing said.
"No, no..." Yan Zhu bowed and a happy smile appeared on his face.
The two men reached a cooperation agreement and then exchanged pleasantries for a while before Yan Zhu left with the boy, leaving behind a communication token and a thousand-year longevity pill.
Lin Qianxing glanced at the communication token and then put it away.
This thing is both an identity card and a communication card. The farthest communication distance is tens of thousands miles away, which means that it can basically be received as long as it is within Dayu.
As for the thousand-year-old life-extending pill?
Lin Qianxing took a glance at it and decided to use it to feed the cat.
Does he lack the thousand years of life?
According to a rough calculation based on his current condition, he won't have to worry about his lifespan for the next 620,000 years.
And as his cultivation level increases, this number continues to soar.
With just one sudden enlightenment, his life span would be increased by more than a thousand years.
Although sudden enlightenment is not something that can be achieved easily without the Enlightenment Pill.
Lin Qianxing didn't know whether he was a special case or something else.
But judging from Yan Zhu's behavior, it seems that this thousand-year-old longevity pill is the item he values most.
Could it be that the lifespan of the cultivators in the realm of supernatural powers in this world is short?
That shouldn't be the case. We are all embodied rules. Without going into details, living for tens of thousands of years should be no problem, right?
When Lin Qianxing thought about this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
Every profession has its specialization.
He understood the principles of life and death, and seems to be very good at prolonging life?
If he simply only mastered the Divine Power Vajra Dao Principle.
He estimated that his life span would be at most 10,000 to 20,000 years.
Only the principles of life and death that were comprehended from the [Book of Life and Death], Lei Sheng, and Mo Luo could have such a powerful ability to prolong life.
Before Lin Qianxing entered the Tao, he only understood a little bit of it, but he had already greatly extended his lifespan.
After entering the Dao, especially after completely integrating into the law of life and death, he could hardly feel the time passing by and taking away his lifespan.
If you think about it this way, this longevity pill seems to be really precious among the cultivators in the main world?
After all, being able to extend the life of a cultivator in the supernatural power realm by a thousand years is, if calculated slightly, almost equivalent to a thousand years of national fortune for a sect or a country.
"Mei'er, come quickly." Lin Qianxing said.
As the voice fell, a white figure rushed out and landed lightly in Lin Qianxing's arms.
"Sir, do you have something to talk to me about?" Mei'er asked.
Lin Qianxing stroked the cat and said with a smile: "Please take a pill."
After saying that, he handed the thousand-year-old life-extending pill to Mei'er's lips.
Compared to the precious thousand-year-old elixir, Lin Qianxing hopes to see Mei'er accompany him for a longer period of time.
How lonely would it be if you were left alone on the journey of pursuing the great way?
Mei'er didn't think much about it and swallowed the thousand-year-old life-extending pill directly.
After taking the pill, it didn't feel too many special changes, but just felt that its body became stronger. It thought it was a pill made by Lin Qianxing to strengthen its body.
After seeing Mei'er finish the pill, Lin Qianxing let her go to practice.
Recently, it seems to have acquired a cultivation method from Ah Hong. It spends the whole day absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth to practice, and seems to be very serious about it.
After Lin Qianxing checked and found that there was no major problem with the technique, he left it alone.
Looking at Mei'er lying on the roof and seriously absorbing and exhaling the vital energy of heaven and earth, Lin Qianxing smiled.
If Yan Zhu knew that he fed the thousand-year-old life-extending elixir to the cat, the expression on Yan Zhu's face would probably be very interesting, right?
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Qianxing looked towards the direction of Wuding City.
Information about elixirs and the survey compass can be obtained directly through communication, but the library of the Sitianjian has to be visited in person to read it.
The capital of Dayu Kingdom!
That was a place he missed very much!
I don’t know if my current strength is enough to gain a foothold in Wuding City?
Thinking of this, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile.
He is not going to cause trouble this time. Besides, if someone with his strength cannot gain a foothold in Kyoto, then the waters of Dayu Country are too deep and too unreasonable.
