Chapter 131: 300-Year Lifespan? Life Extension!

After leaving the capital, Chu Danqing felt relaxed all over.

It could be said that he was light without debt.

He intended to go directly to find Xiong Zhigang, not in a hurry on the road, taking it as a rest.

As for the 'Aphorisms of Cultivating Righteousness' given by the young Emperor, he was very satisfied.

【Aphorisms of Cultivating Righteousness】

【Type: Knowledge-type prop】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Effect: Reading can improve the level of Foundation of Governance】

It could only be said that the Paradise was indeed generous; the welfare of the sprint class was really good.

It couldn't be that he was lucky, and what he lacked came to him.

After getting the satisfactory severance pay, Chu Danqing naturally walked away with a clean slate.

Walking and stopping on the road, mainly learning and cultivating.

He didn't choose to trigger more hidden tasks.

Mainly because there was a lack of channels to effectively trigger them; if he wanted to continue the tasks, he would have stayed in the capital.

Secondly, it was because he had to learn and cultivate.

Paradise Points' strengthening was one thing, but the improvement of his own quality was also very important.

The value of knowledge-type props showed that the Paradise advocated strengthening and self-study going hand in hand.

On the third day after leaving the capital, Chu Danqing summoned Guo Ming to meet through the Blood Oath Covenant.

Mainly to get the secret art of the Small Five Elements Spirit Summoning Dao Foundation from him, and by the way, get some resources, otherwise the cultivation progress would be too slow.

For the remaining time, he focused on cultivation.

【You summoned a Covenant Object, this consumption: 4,999 Paradise Points】

【Covenant Object has responded】

【Covenant Object summoning cognition rationalization modification complete】

Good news, the Foundation of Governance also had an effect on the Blood Oath Covenant, unfortunately, it was a drop in the bucket because the level was too low.

Guo Ming walked out of the vortex and was about to speak, but his gaze looked behind Chu Danqing.

"This friend, is he also your good friend, Brother Chu?" Guo Ming asked.

Chu Danqing turned his head sharply to look, but saw nothing, and said immediately: "No!"

When Guo Ming said this, Chu Danqing had already surfaced a suspicious target.

That reserve-level apostle of the Long Hu Alliance named Black Crow.

When the words fell, Guo Ming's two flying swords pierced the position about three meters behind Chu Danqing with lightning speed.

The next moment, the crow feathers burst open.

A mutilated human figure fled for his life.

The other party clearly used some kind of life-saving skill or prop with a huge price, and only then survived from Guo Ming's hands.

Chu Danqing followed up with a Spirit Sight Art.

But it missed.

It wasn't that he didn't scout it, but the person was dead.

Black Crow hadn't run out for a meter when he was beaten into powder by the two flying swords, dead as dead could be.

"It seems this person has been lurking by Brother Chu's side for some days; this kind of concealment method is indeed strange." Guo Ming retracted his flying sword and said.

"Normal, Brother Guo, you can't let me, a summoning type, compare with others; people are specialized." Chu Danqing said.

If they fought head-on, Chu Danqing naturally wouldn't be afraid.

But letting Chu Danqing use his own un-involved field to clash with the other party's professional field—if he could win, he wouldn't have taken the summoning system; choosing the other party's system would have more prospects.

The other party just hid like this, and his and Dabao's perception couldn't beat the other party's concealment, which was indeed troublesome.

"Brother Chu is free this time, and hasn't been chased." Guo Ming couldn't help but tease, then asked: "I think all matters are settled, and you are looking for me for secret arts, right?"

"Right, I intend to go find Xiong Zhigang." Chu Danqing didn't hide it: "And then you help me see if these few things have any special features."

Chu Danqing took out the treasure-type props on his hand.

This was a temporary idea.

Guo Ming looked at it carefully and sighed: "Extravagant things, I'm afraid they are imperial tributes."

"The material is not rare, but the craftsmanship is extremely particular; if you talk about value, this thing is indeed not cheap."

"However, if you talk about use, it should be political capital."

Meaning he couldn't see the actual value either.

"Got it, Brother Chu, if you are willing to part with the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Wall and a box of night-luminescent pearls, I will have my father present them to His Majesty and ask the Imperial Observatory to deduce two secret scrolls of the Five Elements Spirit Beast Scripture for you."

"Although the quality will be limited to excellent tier because of the Five Elements Spirit Beast Scripture, it will definitely satisfy you, Brother Chu." Guo Ming said immediately.

Chu Danqing heard this—good guy, 30,000 Paradise Points... no, it was 34,000, plus the handling fee for coming and going.

"Okay!" Chu Danqing didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly.

Paradise Points, aren't they earned to be spent?

The trial world Guo Ming was in had a high level, and being able to spend 34,000 to ask the Imperial Observatory for help was all because of the Guo family's face.

Change to another reserve-level apostle, and they wouldn't even think about touching it.

It could be said that there was no door to send money, not to mention that it was the Emperor's path, and the Imperial Observatory would definitely pay attention.

As for low quality? That didn't matter; he couldn't use the fine-tier ones anyway.

Just like the Flesh Scholar's spellbook, the equipment requirements couldn't be met at all.

Low had the benefits of low.

Guo Ming put it away, and then took out a scroll of secret arts and a set of annotations.

The secret art was obtained from the hands of the Liulian Hermit, the secret art of the Small Five Elements Spirit Summoning Dao Foundation.

With it, Chu Danqing could also have a Dao Foundation; otherwise, with the quality of the Five Elements Spirit Beast Scripture, he would never be able to condense a Dao Foundation.

The annotation was related to the Small Five Elements Spirit Array.

"The condensation of the Small Five Elements Spirit Summoning Dao Foundation uses the Small Five Elements Spirit Array as a guide, but this array requires the Five Elements Spirit Beast Scripture to be perfected."

"But you are quite a distance from perfection, Brother Chu; if you want to cultivate it in advance, you can only use this annotation to help." Guo Ming said.

If it were in the world Guo Ming was in, just asking a master of array formations to give a lecture, he would learn it in two or three days.

"Good, I know." Chu Danqing didn't care.

Then Guo Ming took out a bottle of pills.

"This is the improved Five Clouds Pill, the quality is excellent tier; I see that Brother Chu should be able to support the handling fee."

"The efficacy is far superior to the previous excellent tier; just this one bottle should be enough to support Brother Chu in cultivating the Five Elements Spirit Beast Scripture to perfection."

Chu Danqing looked at his Paradise Points and accepted it without hesitation.

Expensive, there was a reason for it being expensive.

His aptitude was only a bit higher than normal people; if he didn't spend money, how could he become stronger?

"Can Brother Chu cultivate to perfection within the remaining time in the trial world? If so, you can summon me after perfection."

"By then, the two secret scrolls will definitely be completed." Guo Ming estimated Chu Danqing's cultivation progress and asked.

"I can." Chu Danqing also estimated his progress; he estimated that these two secret scrolls had to be cultivated after the Five Elements Spirit Beast Scripture was perfected.

"Good, then I will wait for your good news, Brother Chu, goodbye!" Guo Ming had nothing to do, so naturally he was ready to go back.

Chu Danqing took out the Life-Extending Blood Pill and handed it to the other party: "This thing is for you, it has side effects, but..."

He didn't even finish his sentence, and Guo Ming's eyes were staring straight at the Life-Extending Blood Pill.

"Life-extending object." He swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "This is too precious."

"Look at the annotation, this thing might not even improve your lifespan..." Chu Danqing said speechlessly.

"Things that aren't important can be re-refined." Guo Ming only felt pleasantly surprised: "My ancestor doesn't have much time left. If this single pill is re-refined with heavy gold, it will surely be enough to maintain the glory and prestige of my Guo clan for another thirty-plus years."

"I shall shamelessly accept it then."

Guo Ming immediately took it, his hand speed remarkably fast.

"Do you guys not increase your lifespan when you cultivate to gain strength?" Chu Danqing only felt it was absurd.

"Extending one's years and life is naturally possible, but even someone as strong as the Taiping Dao Master has a lifespan limit of only three hundred years."

"This single pill, if successfully re-refined, can increase one's lifespan by ten percent; that is already defying the heavens."

"In my world, there are no life-extending pills; only extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures can increase one's lifespan."

"And the lifespan increased is short, perhaps three to five days, or long, perhaps one or two years, and consuming them easily invites heavenly condemnation," Guo Ming said immediately.

Hearing this, Chu Danqing was also muttering to himself about whether he should give the Flesh Scholar's spellbook to Guo Ming.

But once he thought about the cost of this equipment, if he really gave it to the other party, there was no telling what kind of terrifying events might be stirred up.

If it stayed in his hands, the possibility of it becoming dead weight was also not small.

Lowering sanity leads to becoming a madman; even Da Bao cannot use it.

Da Bao is just silly; after his sanity is deducted, he will also go mad.

However, handing it over to Guo Ming, with the Guo clan's methods, suppression and utilization would not be a problem.

The Guo clan had helped him with so much, so Chu Danqing gritted his teeth and finally took it out.

He had indeed paid Paradise Points as a service fee for the things they gave him, but these items might not be purchasable even with Paradise Points, let alone the fact that the service fee paid was only the cost price.

"The Life-Extending Blood Pill was created by this piece of equipment. Don't ask me how it's made; I don't know either." After Chu Danqing took out the spellbook, he displayed the attribute panel.

"I can give it to you, but you must promise me that you cannot use this equipment to do evil or harm the innocent."

Once Guo Ming saw the attribute panel, he also understood the cause and effect.

Low quality doesn't matter; the fact that it originates from Paradise is the key point.

"Brother Chu, rest assured. There are plenty of demons, ghosts, monsters, and vicious criminals in the world." Guo Ming also felt it was not ideal, but he ultimately understood that giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish.

If the spellbook could truly be used by the Guo clan to produce life-extending pills, then the Guo clan might have the possibility of going a step further.

Chu Danqing could not guarantee how the other party would implement it, but it might not be a good thing if it circulated to other Apostles.

At least by giving it to the Guo clan, he could learn about it through Guo Ming. After completing all matters, Chu Danqing sent Guo Ming back.
