Chapter 9

Mount Zhongnan, Quanzhen.

"Little Martial Brother, where have you been?! Hurry, hurry, hurry, come with me!"

"Master is calling you, if you don't go now, there won't be any time left..."

Not long after Li Zhangsheng returned, Qiu Chuji walked over with a hurried expression, pulling Li Zhangsheng and wanting to leave.

???

What's the situation?!

What do you mean there's no time left?!

Why is there no time left?!

Li Zhangsheng was a bit confused, but seeing Qiu Chuji so anxious, he frowned, slightly shook off Qiu Chuji's sleeve, leaped, and disappeared before Qiu Chuji's eyes.

"Hmm?!"

Qiu Chuji was dumbfounded, looking at Li Zhangsheng's disappearing back, speechless, almost unable to speak, "This, this, this... Grandmaster?!"

Soon, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the secret chamber where Wang Chongyang was.

"Master, you... are injured?! Who could injure you..."

Li Zhangsheng saw Wang Chongyang, languid, looking like he had suffered a great loss of vitality, and his expression changed, "Wait! No! Your situation... you don't have much time left?!"

As the voice fell, Li Zhangsheng's gaze turned to Ma Yu and the others.

"It was West Poison Ouyang Feng and Great Jin State Preceptor Pufeng, who launched a sneak attack while Master was breaking through to the Land Immortal Realm..."

Ma Yu said sorrowfully.

"Alright! It's fine!"

Wang Chongyang smiled faintly, seemingly not taking his own life and death to heart, "Zhangsheng! I know you want to create a method for longevity! But this method for longevity is ethereal, and creating a technique is even more difficult than difficult, you..."

"Master, what are you saying?! What ethereal?!"

"I... succeeded!"

Li Zhangsheng said casually, not waiting for Wang Chongyang to finish.

"I knew it... Hmm?! You... what did you say?!"

Wang Chongyang nodded, but the next moment, he was violently shaken, as if he had misheard, and asked incredulously.

"I said, I succeeded!"

"I succeeded in creating a method for longevity!"

Li Zhangsheng had a bitter face, his expression mournful, "However, Master, you are right, creating a technique is too difficult! Especially this method for longevity, it took me a full three months, plus a flash of sudden enlightenment..."

"If it weren't for this sudden enlightenment, it would probably have taken a while longer to create a method for longevity..."

Suc... succeeded?!

Was a method for longevity really created?!

And, in just three months?!

This... is this true or false?!

Could he be spouting nonsense?!

Wang Chongyang was completely stunned, looking at the confident Li Zhangsheng, unable to remain calm.

His emotions told him that Li Zhangsheng had really created a method for longevity; but his reason told Wang Chongyang that it was absolutely impossible!

After all, creating a technique is difficult to begin with, let alone some method for longevity.

Ma Yu, Sun Bu'er, and the other six Quanzhen disciples were also bewildered at this moment; creating a method for longevity, is this... true?!

"Let's put the matter of the method for longevity aside for now! Master, your injuries, you seem to not have much time left, but..."

Li Zhangsheng came to Wang Chongyang's side, studied it carefully, and said somewhat uncertainly, "... it seems it's not hopeless..."

"What?!"

"Master's injuries can be saved?!"

"Little Martial Brother, this... is this true?!"

"..."

Ma Yu, Sun Bu'er, and the other six Quanzhen disciples, upon suddenly hearing Li Zhangsheng's words, all came back to their senses instantly, no longer caring about the method for longevity, but asking with a hint of expectation and longing.

"Alright, Zhangsheng! You don't need to comfort your master anymore! I know my own situation..."

Wang Chongyang thought Li Zhangsheng was comforting him, feeling somewhat comforted in his heart, but still didn't believe his injuries could be saved.

If others don't know, don't I know myself?!

West Poison Ouyang Feng's poison, Great Jin State Preceptor Pufeng's sneak attack, these don't count for much, what made Wang Chongyang's life hang by a thread was the injury from heaven and earth when he fell short while breaking through to the Land Immortal Realm.

This was caused by the heavenly tribulation, and no medicine could cure it!

"It should... definitely be possible!"

Li Zhangsheng thought carefully and finally said very affirmatively, "As long as Master practices this 'Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture' of mine, you can cure the injuries on your body!"

"'Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture'?!"

Ma Yu, Sun Bu'er, and the other six Quanzhen disciples said in unison.

"That's right!"

"'Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture', based on the withering and flourishing of grass and trees, life and death, and reincarnation, tempering the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit..."

Li Zhangsheng did not hesitate and began to explain the 'Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture' to Wang Chongyang.

Wang Chongyang didn't pay much attention at first, but as Li Zhangsheng explained, Wang Chongyang's face became more and more solemn, his True Qi began to circulate involuntarily, and cyan light swirled around his body, dispelling strands of black Qi.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Zhangsheng finished explaining.

Another quarter of an hour later, Wang Chongyang slowly opened his eyes, a feeling of refreshment surging into his mind.

"This... this..."

Even though Wang Chongyang had seen many great storms, he couldn't help but tremble at this moment.

Can this 'Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture' actually dispel even the injury from heaven and earth?!

Not only that, Wang Chongyang vaguely sensed that his lifespan was also slowly increasing.

"Can this 'Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture' really lead to longevity?!"

"Hiss!"

Thinking of this, Wang Chongyang couldn't help but gasp deeply, and his gaze toward Li Zhangsheng instantly became strange.

What kind of disciple has this old Daoist taken in?!

An immortal descending to the world, or a Buddha descending to the world, or a sage walking on dust?!

Wang Chongyang was not calm, he simply couldn't remain calm.
