"What's going on here?"
The newcor was naturally Chen Jiuge, who had just co out of seclusion. A thousand years of retreat were enough for Chen Jiuge to break through to the Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal.
As for the white light that descended from the sky just now, it was naturally not Chen Jiuge's divine skill, but the power of a Spiritual Beast he had cultivated.
The Bright Light Beast with the holy light attribute was specially bred by Chen Jiuge after he took on the sect's task of hunting underworld ghosts.
Li Yu stood up and respectfully described everything that had just happened.
"You an to say that a cultivator was drained of Yang Qi by a ghost monster and died of life depletion?" Chen Jiuge's face changed.
This happened too quickly! The ergence of underworld ghosts has barely been a thousand years, yet it directly altered countless unchanging Hui Yuan rules!
"Let see!"
Grabbing Li Yu's arm, Chen Jiuge released a trace of immortal power and carefully probed, feeling a mysterious and inexplicable presence.
"Remaining lifespan: one hundred and eighty-five thousand seven hundred and twenty years!"
"Not even a single Hui Yuan left!" Chen Jiuge's face was heavy.
Li Yu swallowed hard, looking sowhat panicked, "How could this be? How could this happen?"
Li Yu never thought he would worry about lifespan, but compared to infinite lifespan, less than a Hui Yuan is a massive difference.
"Do not panic. Your lifespan has been greatly absorbed by the Yin Ghost, but it should be replenishable."
After hesitating, Chen Jiuge took out a red Spirit Fruit and said, "The Hundred Tribulations Fruit is said to replenish lifespan; try taking it."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen."
Trembling slightly, Li Yu swallowed the Hundred Tribulations Fruit, closed his eyes, and sensed for a mont, delighting in surprise, "Added, added ten thousand years!"
"Ten thousand years, huh?"
According to ancient texts, the Hundred Tribulations Fruit was only supposed to increase lifespan by a thousand years, but now it could add ten thousand. It seems the great way favors immortals for longevity.
"Take another one, let's see."
Again thanking him, Li Yu took another fruit, and it also increased his lifespan by ten thousand years. To test, Chen Jiuge took out dozens of Hundred Tribulations Fruits, and they all had the sa effect.
Under Li Yu's profuse thanks, Chen Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, luckily, despite the lifespan restriction, there are still ans to increase lifespan using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
This news, while sowhat good for other cultivators, is still limited due to the immortality of immortals; there aren't many life-extending elixirs in the True Realm, and even fewer pills.
However, this is good news for Chen Jiuge, for in the Chaos World, there are plenty of spiritual dicines like the Hundred Tribulations Fruit. If quantity isn't limited, Chen Jiuge believes returning to an eternal past wouldn't be difficult!
"Let's head to the next location!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Chen."
With his lifespan restored to several hundred thousand years, Li Yu had regained his confidence and original deanor.
"The next place is Black Wind Ridge, where there seems to be a ghost monster nest."
"Is it a scouting task?" Chen Jiuge's face was serious.
Tasks to slay ghost monsters, although seemingly dangerous, usually have had the ghost's approximate power assessed already, and generally carry no danger.
But such seemingly harmless scouting tasks are the most deadly because you don't know if unexpected situations may arise!
"Let's go!"
........
Zi Jing Blossom of Comrce
After undergoing a cycle of destruction and rebuilding, the rise of Zi Jing Blossom of Comrce was even faster, perhaps because the chairman was changed.
Compared to the previous Jiang Xueyao, Chen Jiuge had more resources and greater authority within the Five Elents Sect region, allowing smoother developnt for the comrce chamber.
Especially after reconnecting with northern trade, Chen Jiuge specially cultivated a Heavenly Fire Fox, constantly emitting warmth, and a Spring Bird, maintaining an area with chirping birds and fragrant flowers, greatly capturing the favor of northern custors.
"Yawn"
Letting out a big yawn, Jiang Xueyao was sowhat lethargic, "Xiao Ying, are you done yet!"
"Vice Chairman, if you're tired, you can go back to rest first. But before that, you need to review the latest trade list and verify with your signature," Zhu Ying said lightly.
"Xiao Ying, your share isn't the sa as mine? Why be called Vice Chairman; you're the Vice Chairman!" Jiang Xueyao laughed.
But her restless gaze and slightly eager feet suggested she was already struggling to remain seated.
Raising her head from the desk full of papers, Xiao Ying said helplessly, "Xueyao, that's not the way. You must at least try to handle so internal comrce matters!"
"No need, no need, I'll handle negotiations; you manage the process; I think it's fine as it is." Jiang Xueyao waved her hand repeatedly.
"Report, Chairman Jiang, Chairman Zhu, people from the North have arrived!"
With a "whoosh"
Jiang Xueyao, like a rabbit, reached the study door even before her voice fully sounded, "I'll go check it out!"
In the hall, a burly and unruly figure was drinking strong liquor in big gulps, releasing a dense body aroma mixed with alcohol.
Jiang Xueyao wrinkled her delicate nose, even though she had slled this scent before, she still wasn't used to it.
"It's Chairman Jiang, right!" Wei Hua stood up and said.
"And you are?" Jiang Xueyao, looking dignified, appeared like a shrewd and noble lady, completely devoid of her prior lazy deanor.
"I am Wei Hua, a trusted aide of the King!" Wei Hua said with pride.
"A trusted aide of the King of the North?" Jiang Xueyao showed so interest.
