Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 496 - 455: [Part 2]
At the same time, Chen Xu’s divine thought quietly dispersed, secretly scanning in all directions.
He discovered that as soon as he entered the Jade Capital, it felt as though he had encountered something extraordinary.
But in the Jade Capital Celestial City, masters were everywhere. Although Chen Xu sought to startle the snake or lure it out of its hole, he couldn’t act without any plan.
Therefore, even though his divine thought could spread as far as three hundred feet, he was very cautious in his actions, probing only the scene within fifty feet around him.
As Chen Xu stepped over the Yu Crossing Bridge, he noticed that there were quite a few people heading towards the Rejuvenation Pavilion on the street across the bridge!
Most traveled in pairs, and some whispered as they walked:
"Can that secret medicine really extend life by a hundred years? I don’t believe it! Where in the world could you buy such a life-extending secret medicine so easily?"
"You don’t believe it? You know Old Master Xiao from the Emerald Stone Workshop, don’t you?
He turned his white hair black overnight, and the wrinkles on his face disappeared. Just two days ago, he even married his nineteenth concubine.
Isn’t this rejuvenation, extending life?
You say I’m fooling you? Hmph, if it weren’t for our years of friendship, I wouldn’t have brought you along even for the greatest opportunity if you accused me of lying!"
"What, Old Master Xiao’s hair turned black because he bought the secret medicine from the Rejuvenation Pavilion?
But didn’t he say it was because he had been offering incense at the Qingxu Daoist Palace for thirty years, presenting countless tributes, and only then received the blessing of Master Xuan Qing to gain such benefits?"
"Hey, you’re too honest if you believe that.
Let’s say he offered incense at the Qingxu Daoist Palace for thirty years; hasn’t my old mother been devoutly offering incense for more than thirty years?
She’s been a loyal believer of the Daoist Palace for fifty years. How come she hasn’t received any blessing or become young again?
Let me tell you, no matter how noble the True Masters in the Daoist Palace are, they still need to eat.
Devotion alone isn’t enough. This secret medicine, we need to buy it. A hundred-year life extension, why would it be granted just because you offer incense?"
"Then... how much silver does it take to buy this hundred-year life-extending secret medicine?"
The two of them were about thirty feet away from Chen Xu but growing closer to the Rejuvenation Pavilion.
One of them was both eager and apprehensive, with doubts and a hint of hesitation: "This kind of divine medicine, how could it be something people like us can easily afford?
Brother Zheng, you have wealth, so maybe you could, but as for your foolish younger brother, I... alas."
He sighed, hesitant and unsure.
His companion, Brother Zheng, said: "Don’t rush, don’t rush. Once we enter the Rejuvenation Pavilion, you’ll find out.
I’m telling you, since I brought you here, it’s because as long as you’re willing to bid, you can definitely afford the secret medicine.
To extend life by a century, do you really not want it?
In any case, I would sell all I have to buy it!"
After saying this, the two of them entered the Rejuvenation Pavilion.
Chen Xu withdrew his divine thought, no longer scattering his observations.
In fact, his senses were now extremely acute; even without using divine thought, as long as he focused on a specific point, he could clearly hear sounds within thirty to fifty feet.
However, this kind of listening was easily disturbed by environmental noise, and targeting was not as precise and convenient as scattering his divine thought, so Chen Xu first used his divine thought to lock onto his target.
He then withdrew his divine thought, focusing his hearing instead.
The conversations inside the Rejuvenation Pavilion gradually became clearer to his ears.
First, the Daoist Child guarding the pavilion, with the surname Zheng, spoke in cryptic phrases like a riddle, saying, "Boundless Celestial Venerable!"
The other replied, "Celestial Venerable above."
The Daoist Child continued, "Celestial Venerable’s blessing, extend life by a hundred years." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
The other said, "Immortal fate is not for ordinary people."
The young man surnamed Zheng repeatedly said, "I understand,"
...
