The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 338 - 201 Lifespan Extension Pill_2

Her Alchemy Skill had achieved small success; just by listening to the sounds from the furnace, she could tell something was amiss. Indeed, the Cultivator murmured to himself, "Hmm, not right, still lacking five years." Then he picked up the last Glazed Bottle on the ground and poured the essence blood within into the Pill Furnace.

This time, the Pill Furnace calmed down. After a quarter of an hour, the Cultivator accurately performed a spell, softly shouted "Activate," and the lid of the furnace popped open. Instantly, the room was filled with fragrance, and a pure gold-colored Elixir Pill flew out from the furnace!

This medicine pill, too, seemed to want to escape as soon as it left the furnace, but was fixed in midair by a technique from the Cultivator and was leisurely placed into a bottle.

Ning Xiaoxian knew that such spiritual elixirs were of no ordinary grade. However, she never expected that with the Cultivator’s Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation, he could actually refine such a high-grade Spirit Pill!

The Cultivator put away the Spirit Pill and walked towards the four mortals, who looked at him with frightened eyes. He then pulled out a smoothly polished Crystal from his pocket and placed it on the crown of each person’s head, saying: "Hmm. This one has ten years; this one still has thirteen years; this one has only three years, why so little? Hmm, this one has seven years!"

Ten years? Thirteen years? Ning Xiaoxian and Tu Jin exchanged glances, both having the same thought: do these numbers refer to the remaining lifespan of mortals? Could this Crystal actually glimpse the remaining life span of humans?

She was secretly shocked in her heart.

Seeing the Cultivator raise his hand, the gesture identical to that of Master Fan, she knew this person was about to extract essence blood from the bodies of the mortals. She could not stand by without helping anymore and elbowed Tu Jin!

Tu Jin was engrossed in the unfolding events, reluctant to miss any details of the Cultivator’s actions. However, Ning Xiaoxian’s elbowing was a clear signal for him to intervene. Despite his reluctance, he softly leaped forward.

Just as the Cultivator’s palm was about to strike the mortals’ backs, Tu Jin leaped forward and somehow arrived next to him. A gust of strong wind forced the Cultivator to retreat in defense.

With Tu Jin’s ability, flattening him with one punch wouldn’t have been difficult, but his curiosity about this man led him to capture him alive for thorough questioning.

The Cultivator had only stepped back two paces before he threw out a Bagua Plate emitting a faint yellow light, which seemed to be a Magic Artifact. Tu Jin didn’t even bother to dodge, simply grabbing the plate in his hand. His body was as tough as that of a Qishou, so why would he care about a small Bagua Plate?

Without pausing, Tu Jin had already caught the Cultivator from behind like a ghost, gripped his neck with one hand, and kicked the back of his knees with another, making the Cultivator kneel down in exactly the same posture as the four mortals controlled by puppets!

It was at this point that the four puppets finally pounced forward. Tu Jin squeezed the Cultivator’s neck, commanding sharply, "Do you want to die?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

With his windpipe seized, the Cultivator coughed twice before saying, "Dare not, dare not!" He waved his hand, and the puppets stopped moving. The four captured mortals whimpered, but they could not break free, as their hands and feet were tied.

Tu Jin sealed his cultivation, and now Ning Xiaoxian approached leisurely, clearing her throat, "What’s your surname?"

He studied Ning Xiaoxian for a few moments, and although he just saw a mortal girl, he dared not neglect the person in front of him with his life held by the stern man behind: "Young lady, my surname is Huang, with a single name, Zhong."

"Are you the ’Mountain God’?"

The Cultivator’s gaze flickered, and after Tu Jin squeezed his windpipe a bit harder, he quickly said, "I am, but not entirely!"

Ning Xiaoxian immediately felt very disappointed: "The Mountain God of Kunlong Mountain sounds so impressive, how could it be you, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator?" She pouted her lips toward Tu Jin and said, "Boring, just kill him."

Although he didn’t understand what "impressive" meant, it didn’t stop Cultivator Huang Zhong from wailing, "Miss, there’s more to my story, please let me finish!"

She took an hourglass from her storage bag, turned it over on the ground: "Seventy breaths of time, if you can’t finish, you’ll continue talking to King Yan in the Underworld; if you can make it clear and tell the truth, I’ll spare your life." Outside, the wind and snow raged, and inside, the cave was stacked with corpses. She really wanted to quickly return to the warm God Demon Prison. Huang Zhong had killed so many mortals; she had no desire to waste too much time with him.

"Yes, yes!" Seeing a chance to live, Huang Zhong rejoiced, glanced at the hourglass, and noticed the silver sand flowing swiftly, so he hurriedly organized his words.

In the past nearly thirty years, indeed, most of the people who went missing under Kunlong Mountain were because of him. Originally a Loose Cultivator, Huang Zhong accidently stumbled into a cave mansion of an ancient immortal, where he acquired secret techniques left by the immortal. This puppet was one he figured out how to create based on those techniques. However, since he only had Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation and lacked deep knowledge about souls, the puppets he made were strong but not agile.

Another important item from the book was a page of the Lifespan Extension Pill recipe. This refining method was quite sinister, as it could snatch someone else’s lifespan to refine into elixir pills. Since Earth established the Six Paths of Reincarnation, all medicines for immortality and lifespan extension had ceased to be effective. The only way to extend life was like Yan City Lord Wenger who seized the lifespan of a Half-Demon. But surprisingly, this Lifespan Extension Pill was an exception!

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a life-extending medicine but a life-stealing technique! After obtaining this recipe, Huang Zhong tried capturing mortals to make medicines, and indeed he could attach these people’s lifespans to Lifebound Essence Blood, extracting them into the elixirs.

However, each Elixir Pill could only be imbued with up to twenty yuan of life span, and there was a high accidental loss rate of half, meaning it took forty years of a mortal’s lifespan to produce a twenty-year Lifespan Extension Pill!
