Chapter 63: Changxi: I Have a Pill That Can Grant Eternal Youth

"Oh? Who is your husband? To have such capability!"

After saying this, she pointed to the skull of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm tiger demon at the courtyard gate and said, "That tiger demon is no ordinary creature; for your husband to be able to kill it here, he must be a Great Supernatural Being!"

Saint Mother Changxi's praise for her husband Houyi made her very happy, but being a low-key person, she still modestly replied.

"My Lady is too kind. My husband, Nv'e's husband, only possesses some minor skills; they are not worth mentioning!"

"These are by no means skills not worth mentioning!"

Saint Mother Changxi shook her head and said, "Every Daluo is an existence that has mastered a law; their origin is profound and far beyond what a Taiyi can compare to. Only a Daluo can kill a Daluo."

"Therefore, this palace guesses that your husband, young lady, must be a Daluo, or perhaps a Great Supernatural Being~"

Hearing this, Nv'e hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, My Lady overpraises Nv'e's husband. Nv'e feels that my husband's strength should belong to the Golden Immortal Realm? He is not a Great Supernatural Being."

Saint Mother Changxi nodded in understanding upon hearing this.

Afterwards, she looked Nv'e over again and could not help but say, "Strange. Since your husband is a Golden Immortal, why are you but a mortal?"

Hearing this, Nv'e said with sudden shame, "Nv'e is by nature fond of quiet and does not wish to cause disputes through cultivation. Furthermore, Nv'e feels that my aptitude is dull, so I should not waste the tribe's resources!"

Having said this, her eyes revealed happiness as she added, "Besides, being able to follow my husband now, Nv'e already feels very content!"

However, regarding her words, Saint Mother Changxi disagreed and said.

"Young lady Nv'e, have you ever thought about how you and your husband will be together after a thousand or a hundred years? Can you endure the pain of that separation?"

After hearing these words from Saint Mother Changxi, Nv'e was suddenly stunned.

Because.

Over these years, she had never once thought about such a problem.

It is true, her husband Houyi is a pure-blooded member of the Wu Clan, and he is also a Great Witch.

Not to mention his eternal lifespan, he can also live forever without aging.

And what about her?

She is merely a low-ranking mortal cultivator who has yet to become an immortal.

Moreover, her lifespan is only a thousand years.

Let alone the pain of separation after a thousand or a hundred years, even after two or three hundred years, when she is old and withered, what face would she have to meet Houyi again?

Thinking of this, she could not help but feel a wave of bitterness rise from her heart.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Saint Mother Changxi with pleading eyes.

At this moment, Saint Mother Changxi sighed, "Forget it, since you and I could meet today, it is fate; this palace will help you!"

After saying this, she grabbed Nv'e's wrist and remained silent for a while.

Then she slowly shook her head and looked at her with a face full of pity.

"My Lady, is there something wrong with Nv'e?" Nv'e asked nervously.

"Since your Human Race has passed through ten thousand years, the Innate Rice Body has long since degenerated into an Acquired Rice Body. If it is only to become an immortal, this is not difficult, but when it comes to seeking the Rice, your aptitude is still insufficient!"

Saint Mother Changxi said with pity.

"It is enough to become an immortal; Nv'e does not care much about seeking the Rice. As long as I can be with my husband forever, Nv'e will be content!"

Having said this, Nv'e could not help but reveal a satisfied smile.

At this time, Saint Mother Changxi shook her head and said, "Becoming an immortal does not mean one can live forever without aging!"

Afterwards, she explained under Nv'e's confusion.

"Above mortals, it is called Heavenly Immortal.

A Heavenly Immortal is the foundation of the Immortal Rice, the path forward in seeking the Rice; their lifespan is equal to 'Heaven', yet they cannot avoid aging. Every ten thousand years, they must undergo the Five Qi Immortal Tribulation; if they are the slightest bit careless, they will die and their Rice will dissipate.

Above the Heavenly Immortal, it is called Mysterious Immortal.

A Mysterious Immortal is one who understands the laws of the Immortal Rice and knows the Tianji; their lifespan is equal to 'Heaven', yet they also cannot avoid aging. Every ten thousand years, they must undergo the Three Calamities; if they are the slightest bit careless, they will also face the result of death and the dissipation of their Rice!

Above the Mysterious Immortal, it is called True Immortal.

A True Immortal is one who has attained the Rice; the laws of heaven and earth are fused into their techniques and benefit their own body. When they use them, they are extraordinarily miraculous; their lifespan is equal to 'Heaven', yet they also cannot avoid aging. Although they do not need to undergo the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations, they face the Heart Demon Tribulation; if they are the slightest bit careless, they will be controlled by the Heart Demon, and from then on, it will be difficult for their true self to escape!

And above the True Immortal, it is called Golden Immortal.

A Golden Immortal is one whose golden nature is immortal; they command the laws of heaven and earth to accompany them, and when they use them, it is like the descent of natural disasters and Heavenly Might, and they can live forever without aging!

We shall not mention the later stages of the Immortal Rice for now; the Golden Immortal alone is a realm that is difficult for you to reach in this life!"

After hearing this, Nv'e felt a wave of desolation in her heart.

"Is being with my husband forever such a difficult thing?" Nv'e muttered to herself.

At this moment, Saint Mother Changxi suddenly revealed a trace of a smile.

She smiled mysteriously, "To want to live forever without aging, there are actually many ways! Even without cultivation, one can live forever without aging!"

Hearing this, Nv'e felt as if she had grasped a straw of hope and could not help but plead.

"I beg My Lady to teach me! As long as I can live forever without aging, Nv'e is willing to pay any price!"

"Are you serious!"

Saint Mother Changxi asked with an expression of surprise.

Nv'e was stunned, then thought for a moment and said firmly, "Nv'e's words are not false. As long as I can live forever without aging and be with my husband forever, Nv'e is willing to pay any price!"

"Forget it, forget it, since you have such determination, this palace will fulfill your wish!"

Saint Mother Changxi sighed long, then said helplessly.

Afterwards, she was seen extending her hand, and a glowing sphere suddenly appeared in her palm.

Seeing this, Nv'e could not help but ask in surprise.

"My Lady, what is this? Is it a Golden Pill?"

"It is like a pill yet not a pill, a sphere yet not a sphere, but it truly possesses the ability to allow you to obtain eternal youth without cultivation, and it also possesses various miraculous powers!"

After Changxi took out this sphere, she focused on it for a while, sighed secretly, and finally handed it to Nv'e.

"My Lady, since it is not a pill, then how should it be used?"

Holding this cool little sphere, Nv'e asked, unable to hide her confusion.

"Just treat it as a Golden Pill that grants immortality; you can even take it orally!" Changxi said with a faint smile.

After understanding the method for using the Golden Pill, Nv'e bowed gracefully to Saint Mother Changxi.

"Nv'e thanks you, My Lady, for your fulfillment! It is just... are the consequences of this Golden Pill severe?"

Speaking of the consequences of the Golden Pill, Nv'e could not help but think of the price mentioned by Saint Mother Changxi, so she decided it would not be too late to ask clearly before consuming it.

"Once the Golden Pill is consumed, one can attain immortality; its effects are naturally present!"

Saint Mother Changxi said softly.

"However, the consequences are not worth mentioning for you!"

Seeing the confusion still flickering in Nv'e's eyes, and the Golden Pill still unconsumed in her hand, she continued.

"After consuming the Golden Pill, you will no longer be able to cultivate the Immortal Rice!"

Hearing this, Nv'e suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually.

It was not that one could not cultivate the Immortal Rice after consuming it, but rather that after Nv'e consumed it, her constitution would transform into a Taiyin Body.

However.

Above her, there was a Taiyin Star Spirit at the peak of the late Quasi-Saint stage.

Moreover, how could she share the Great Rice she was about to attain with a stranger?

Therefore.

Nv'e's Taiyin Body was destined to find it difficult to go very far on this path.

This was also the reason why she said it would be difficult for Nv'e to seek the Rice on the path of immortality.

Of course, there was one more important reason she did not say out loud, but none of that mattered anymore.

And once Nv'e understood that the only consequence was being unable to cultivate the Immortal Rice, a heavy stone in her heart was immediately lifted.

Thinking of this, she stood up and bowed to Saint Mother Changxi once more.

"Nv'e is here to thank you again, My Lady! Thank you for the Golden Pill you bestowed!" Everything Nv'e did appeared very solemn.

Regarding this, Saint Mother Changxi did not refuse her bow, but accepted her gesture quite naturally.

After she finished all of this, Saint Mother Changxi nodded slightly and said.

"Since that is the case, then it is time for this palace to depart!" Having finished speaking, she stood up and looked at Nv'e with a hint of a smile.

Afterward, under Nv'e's respectful gaze, she transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished into the horizon.
