Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing put down his tea cup upon hearing this, gazing calmly at the other party as he spoke: "Sir Gu, although Nine-Revolution Star Grass is rare and difficult to cultivate,

your Beidou Immortal Mansion is vast and powerful; there are more cultivators skilled in cultivating spirit plants than just me.

Given your identity and status, finding a senior spirit farmer to help in the Spirit Grass Office shouldn't be difficult, right?"

He paused, speaking with a playful tone: "Yet you specifically sought me out, at a banquet, in front of so many people.

To be honest, that's rather urgent!"

Having said this, he said no more.

"Sigh~"

Gu Chenzhou was stunned for a moment, then sighed, the smile on his face slowly fading as he revealed a hint of bitterness: "Direct Disciple Xu is meticulous in thought; since it is so, this old man will no longer hide anything."

He fell silent for a moment, as if organizing his words.

After a long while he raised his head, his eyes filled with sincerity and fervor: "To be frank, this old man's remaining lifespan is not much."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zaizhi's face changed drastically.

Who is the person before my eyes?

The Deputy Commissioner of the Yao Guang Xing Foreign Affairs Office!

It can be said that he alone can represent the entire Yao Guang Xing.

Once he dies, the things involved are too many; just thinking about it makes one shiver.

On this side, Gu Chenzhou said to himself: "This old man has stayed at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm for a full three thousand three hundred years.

Over these years, I have tried every method, swallowed countless spiritual treasures, and sought help from several elders in the Immortal Mansion.

But the bottleneck is like an iron wall, not moving an inch.

And lifespan, this thing, shows no sentiment at all."

As he spoke, he extended his right hand, then opened his palm.

The skin on his palm, along with the skin beneath, revealed a deathly gray color.

Gu Chenzhou's voice trembled slightly: "Do you see it?

This is a sign that lifespan is about to be exhausted!

If I do not break through soon, at most I have a hundred years left.

A hundred years from now, I, Gu, will be a handful of yellow earth, with nothing left."

Xu Zhangqing looked at that hand, his brow slightly furrowed.

Void Refinement Realm, living for tens of thousands of years is absolutely no problem.

However, even reaching this realm, one still cannot escape death.

At this moment, he thought of many things, many people.

Gu Chenzhou withdrew his hand and continued: "The reason I sought you is indeed out of selfishness.

This selfishness has two layers."

He raised one finger: "First layer.

The spirit plant I wish to cultivate is called Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower.

Direct Disciple Xu should know how precious this thing is."

Xu Zhangqing's pupils shrank.

Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower.

This name, he had indeed heard of.

Not only rare, it is practically unheard of in the world.

It can allow a cultivator to enter a state called "Tianhe Dao Comprehension" in an extremely short time.

In this state, the cultivator's divine soul will briefly resonate with the Yin Law in the Tianhe River; all doubts, bottlenecks, and gaps in laws in their cultivation will be filled one by one by this wisp of the purest Yin Law Power.

Gu Chenzhou took a deep breath and continued: "The Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower only grows where Star Power and Yin Moonlight converge.

Moreover, its growth cycle is extremely long.

Normal cultivation requires at least a thousand years to bloom.

Even with various ripening methods, it still takes a hundred years.

But you have also seen, this old man cannot wait that long.

However, looking over the entire Beidou Immortal Mansion, the only place that can ripen the Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower in the shortest time is the Fifth-Grade Spirit Field of the Spirit Grass Office.

And those who can mobilize the Fifth-Grade Spirit Field, besides the elders of the Spirit Grass Office, are only Direct Disciples.

Coincidentally, you are well-versed in the way of spirit plant cultivation.

If not you at this time, then who?"

After speaking, Gu Chenzhou raised a second finger: "Second layer of selfishness.

Don't laugh at Direct Disciple Xu; this old man is giving himself double insurance."

Xu Zhangqing asked thoughtfully: "Double insurance?"

"Yes."

Gu Chenzhou smiled bitterly and nodded: "If Direct Disciple Xu cultivates the flower, then naturally everyone will be happy.

This old man will not only be able to break through his realm using this flower, but can also extend his life by ten thousand years.

From now on, the doors of the Yao Guang Xing Foreign Affairs Office will always be open to you.

He paused, a hint of cunning entering his tone: "But if the cultivation fails, of course, I'm just saying in case.

That wouldn't matter either.

By then, I'll use this as an excuse to shamelessly go to the Grand Dao Venerable to ask for a life-prolonging immortal pill, or an opportunity to break through."

Saying this, Gu Chenzhou spread his hands and said candidly: "Therefore, no matter what, I won't lose out."

The words fell.

The hall was silent for two breaths.

Zhang Zaizhi's expression was somewhat strange; he looked at Gu Chenzhou, then at Xu Changqing, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Having lived so long, he had never seen anyone so bluntly lay out all the calculations in their heart.

At this moment, Xu Changqing laughed instead.

And it was the kind of happy laugh.

At this moment, he not only had no dissatisfaction at all, but felt cheerful instead.

This left both Gu Chenzhou and Zhang Zaizhi stunned: "Xu Disciple?"

"Sicheng Gu."

Calling out to the other party, Xu Changqing picked up the spirit tea and smiled: "Chatting with a smart person like you is just comfortable."

Hearing this, Gu Chenzhou was stunned: "You've been calculated by me, aren't you worried?"

"What calculation is this?"

Xu Changqing waved his hand: "Each takes what they need, each gains what they seek."

You were honest first, so I naturally won't overthink."

He put down the tea cup and said seriously: "Your time, how much is left?"

Regarding the cultivation of the flower, are there any specific requirements?"

Gu Chenzhou said seriously: "Within a hundred years, it must bloom."

Beyond this time, even if it blooms, I won't be able to use it."

Xu Changqing asked again: "You want to use the He Tianhe Yueji Flower to refine breakthrough pills?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Gu Chenzhou explained: "Xu Disciple doesn't know, the He Tianhe Yueji Flower is a water-attribute spirit plant, and I happen to have a water spirit root."

When this flower blooms, a liquid called 'Yusui Tiandu' will condense on its petals."

Once this dew is drunk, one can enter the special state of 'He Tianhe Dao Comprehension'."

Taking this opportunity, I will use my accumulation of over ten thousand years to definitely break through the bottleneck."

By then, I will break through to the Unity Stage in one go!"

Hearing this, Xu Changqing quickly calculated in his heart.

But not considering for Gu Chenzhou, rather pondering the entire Beidou Xianfu.

Xiuxian Zhe of the level of Sicheng and Vice Sicheng generally have realms from the Lianxu Stage to the Unity Stage.

An old fellow like Gu Chenzhou stuck at the peak of the Lianxu Stage for over three thousand years is considered average in this position.

Above that are the Elders of the Beidou Xianfu.

And those who can become Elders are at least at the Unity Stage.

Even among them, there are existences at the Mahayana Stage.

Those reclusive Elders who stay in seclusion all year round probably have even higher cultivation.

As for the Nine Extremes Heavenly King.

Xu Changqing was almost certain it was absolutely at the level of 'Immortal'.

And among 'Immortals', they also belong to the top ranks.

Grand Dao Venerable?

For some reason, Xu Changqing couldn't bring forth any thoughts of guessing.

If the Lianxu Stage is a star.

The Unity Stage is a star river.

The Mahayana Stage is a star domain.

Then the Nine Extremes Heavenly King is a terrifying existence that can hold an entire star domain in one hand.

Is someone like that strong enough?

The Grand Dao Venerable is above him!
