Chapter 450

Kou Zhong did not know if this was true or false, but since Li Changsheng said so, it was likely true.

However, now, in order to save Fu Junqiang, he had no choice but to make this decision.

"Are you... sure?!"

Li Changsheng asked with a strange expression, his demeanor unchanged.

"Sure!"

"If one receives a favor, one should repay it like a gushing spring!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling said in unison.

"Good!"

"But it is not your turn to repay this favor!"

"She was heavily injured by Yuwen Huaji, and that is, to some extent, because of Rong'er-jie!"

"Therefore! There is no need for you to ask! I will naturally preserve her life!"

As Li Changsheng spoke, he extended a finger, and a beam of green light shot out, with a faint aura of vegetation circulating, sinking directly into the center of Fu Junqiang's brow.

Hum!

Centered on Fu Junqiang's brow, a brilliant green light scattered in all directions, enveloping her and directly dispelling the cold air and the power of frost.

In just a single breath, the cold air on Fu Junqiang's body dissipated; she returned to a state of calm, her face rosy, full of vitality, and her breathing steady.

"Is it... done already?!"

"That simple?!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both astonished to see this scene.

They had not expected that Fu Junqiang, who was nearly dying, would be perfectly fine after just a moment.

It was as if... as if she had never been injured at all.

"Wait a moment longer, and she will wake up."

Li Changsheng was composed, his hands behind his back, appearing as if he had not expended any effort at all. He looked back at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, "Speak! What do you want?!"

"We... want to cultivate the 'Longevity Art'!"

Seeing that Fu Junqiang was fine, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finally felt relieved, looked at each other, and said heavily.

"Cultivate the 'Longevity Art'?!"

Li Changsheng asked with a strange look on his face.

He had not expected Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's condition to be so simple; could it be that they really wanted to follow the path of the original plot?!

"Are you two stupid?!"

"Why ask for something like that instead of anything else, and insist on cultivating the 'Longevity Art'?!"

"You're simply picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon!"

"Think carefully! Think really carefully!"

Hearing Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's words, Huang Rong could not help but try to persuade them.

Her expression was very strange, and her eyes were filled with disdain; she had not expected their request to be so simple!

Do you have any idea who is standing in front of you?!

That is Li Changsheng, who has beheaded kings and killed emperors, converted the Patriarch Bodhidharma, created the immortal cultivation method, turned heavenly tribulations into heavenly punishments, founded the Confucian Saint cultivation system, and was invited by all nations to be their State Preceptor!

And yet, you just want to cultivate the "Longevity Art"?!

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, you will regret this sooner or later!

"Xiao Zhong! Xiao Ling! Think about it carefully again!"

Wei Zhenzhen did not know Li Changsheng's reputation, but she knew he was extraordinary.

After all, family, who could have imagined that half a day ago, she, Wei Zhenzhen, was just a maid who knew nothing but how to sell buns.

Yet, half a day later, Wei Zhenzhen had gone from being a mortal to directly achieving the Innate Realm!

Yes!

The current Wei Zhenzhen is a genuine Innate expert, without any discount!

It was not that Li Changsheng could not continue to improve Wei Zhenzhen, but there was no need!

After all, what danger could there be while following Li Changsheng?!

"This..."

Hearing Zhen-sao's words, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned and could not help but hesitate.

"That little beggar is in the same group as this young master; maybe they just don't want us to learn the 'Longevity Art'!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling turned their backs and began to whisper to each other.

"But what about Zhen-sao?! Zhen-sao... shouldn't be trying to harm us..."

Xu Ziling frowned as he thought about how Wei Zhenzhen was also warning them.

"Zhen-sao wouldn't harm us... but the other two might not be the same... after all, although I don't know why Zhen-sao is following that young master, it's certain that Zhen-sao must have just started following him and doesn't know their true background..."

Kou Zhong speculated, not sounding very certain.

"That makes some sense!"

"Besides, we don't know their identities! We don't know what else to ask for! To be safe, it has to be the 'Longevity Art'..."

Xu Ziling also stated his reasoning.

"Yeah! It's not like the young master in front of us is the True Person Li of the Quanzhen Sect, right?!"

"If it really were that True Person Li, then it would be simple; we would just ask True Person Li to teach us the immortal cultivation method..."

Kou Zhong said with a look of regret.

He knew that Li Changsheng was far away at Mount Zhongnan in the Great Song, within the Quanzhen Sect, and would not appear in the Great Sui, let alone come to Yangzhou.

"Yeah! Then... the 'Longevity Art' it is!"

Xu Ziling also nodded; it was not that they hadn't thought about going to the Great Song's Quanzhen Sect, but it was too far, and they feared they would starve to death before they even reached it.

After the two reached an agreement, they stated their request again: to cultivate the "Longevity Art"!

"Sigh! You have no idea what you've missed out on!"

Huang Rong looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, shook her head, and looked disappointed.

Originally, as fellow beggars who had fled together, Huang Rong had thought highly of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, which was why she had quietly warned them; unfortunately, the two treated her good intentions as wind passing by their ears.

Seeing this, Wei Zhenzhen stopped trying to persuade them.

"Good!"

"This is... the 'Longevity Art'!"

Li Changsheng did not say much more, extended his fingers, and tapped the center of their brows; two beams of light sank into them, emitting a seven-colored divine glow.

"This is the 'Longevity Art'! It is divided into seven scrolls: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, and Yang!"

"What you can comprehend depends on yourselves..."

As he spoke, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling sat cross-legged and began to contemplate the "Longevity Art" and cultivate.

Kou Zhong's body was surrounded by a faint Yin aura, while Xu Ziling's body was filled with a vast Yang aura.

Boom! Boom!

At the same time, above the Great River, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged toward Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling seemed to be struck by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; their faces flushed, their breathing became chaotic, and there were signs of qi deviation.

"Very well!"

"Today, I will help you step into the Innate Realm!"

Li Changsheng frowned slightly and flicked his fingers; two beams of spiritual light sank into the tops of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's heads.

A moment later, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling calmed down and entered a deep state of enlightenment.

A quarter of an hour later, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipated, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling slowly opened their eyes.

"Such powerful strength!"

"Is this... martial arts?!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, their hearts filled with boundless joy.

"Alright! Since you have learned the 'Longevity Art', it is time for me to leave."

Seeing this, Li Changsheng nodded with satisfaction, pulled Huang Rong, and enveloped Wei Zhenzhen with an aura as they headed toward the shore.

"Kou Zhong! Your personality is heroic and straightforward, witty and adaptable, but sometimes you are indecisive and overly soft-hearted! You can be a Grand General, you can be a hero, but you cannot be a ruler!"

"Xu Ziling! You are naturally quiet, with no desires or demands, yet you act because of Kou Zhong! To put it nicely, it is being carefree; to put it bluntly, it is having no ambition, just getting by, and lacking your own opinions! I hope you can realize your true heart!"

After a brief silence, Li Changsheng thought of the ending of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling in the original plot, and finally could not help but nag a few words as a warning.
