#487 - The great medicine of life, extending the life
Jun Wuxie ignored the strange old man.
He activated his Primordial True Eye, carefully observing the surrounding environment, but couldn't discern anything.
He and Mu Yunxi tried to move forward again, running for a long time, but found they were still in the same area.
They tried various ways to get away, but ultimately failed.
"Or, should we try going back?"
Mu Yunxi pointed to the mountains they had come from.
Jun Wuxie nodded and together they headed towards the mountains.
But they found that the mountains were right in front of them, but they couldn't get close no matter what.
He knew that he and Mu Yunxi were trapped in a terrifying domain.
His primordial spirit sense could faintly perceive that the surrounding aura was wrong, but the Primordial True Eye couldn't see through the illusion here.
Jun Wuxie turned around with a cold face and looked at the old man on the lone boat, saying, "Speak, what are you trying to do?"
"Young man, full of vigor and youth, truly enviable."
The old man in the straw raincoat and bamboo hat let out an old, hoarse voice, and the rotten black teeth revealed when he spoke made people feel very disgusted.
"Why are you trapping us?"
Jun Wuxie was almost certain that this strange old man was behind it.
"Young man, the land route is impassable, why not take the waterway?" The old man in the straw raincoat and bamboo hat took out a pipe, gently tapped it on the side of the boat a few times, lit the tobacco, took a few puffs, and said slowly, "This old man's ferry boat ferries a lifetime, ferries the mortal world, ferries the ages, and naturally can ferry you as well."
Jun Wuxie asked, "Can this boat ferry your sister?"
The old man was clearly stunned for a moment, then let out a low, hoarse laugh, "Young man, get on the boat. A person's life is full of suffering. Get on this old man's boat and end all the pain. This old man ferries you, and also ferries myself to the other shore."
"What if we don't get on the boat?" Mu Yunxi said coldly, "Looking at you, it seems that you can't go ashore for some reason, and you can't leave that boat either. Do you think we'll fall for it?"
"Little girl, you're very clever." The old man sucked on his pipe, and said slowly, "You can stay on the shore and slowly wait for time to pass. Haven't you noticed that there is no spiritual energy on the shore? Without the replenishment of spiritual energy, after a thousand years, little girl, your true energy will be exhausted, and then your body functions will rapidly decline. The young man next to you will witness your beauty fading away, that old and unsightly face."
Mu Yunxi's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but look at Jun Wuxie.
Imagining her own wrinkled and old appearance, facing the man in front of her, a huge sense of panic rose in her heart for no reason.
"That won't happen."
A large, powerful hand tightly grasped her slender hand, conveying a warm heat that flowed into her heart.
She looked up at him, her eyes gradually calmed down, and her heart followed suit.
"Old man, no matter what your purpose is, I guarantee you will regret it."
Jun Wuxie's voice was very calm as he pulled Mu Yunxi towards the lone boat on the river.
Without any hesitation, he stepped onto the boat.
Mu Yunxi followed and boarded the boat.
"Young man, thank you for coming." The old man's body was hunched over, he untied the rope, and rowed the oars, slowly paddling towards the center of the river, and then followed the current, sailing towards the end of the river.
"This old man has been ferrying for a lifetime, ferrying away the mortal world, ferrying away the ages, it's really too lonely and solitary. Today, I can finally ferry myself to the other shore..."
The old man's voice was low and excited, very hoarse.
His skinny, bone-like old hand released the oars, but the oars were still moving on their own.
The boat's speed was very fast, making the scenery on both sides blurred.
Where was there any river, only endless void.
Jun Wuxie tried to reach his hand out of the boat, but found that there seemed to be an indestructible barrier in the invisible, isolating everything.
Mu Yunxi felt a little uneasy, such a scene was unsettling.
This boat was like sailing in the dark void, except for the boat, nothing could be seen.
It was as if she had been exiled into endless darkness, never to see the light again, never to see the other shore.
Jun Wuxie squeezed her hand slightly, signaling her not to be afraid.
The old man entered the cabin, and soon a rich medicinal fragrance came from inside.
Flickers of firelight shone from the cabin, then became brighter and brighter, accompanied by gurgling sounds, like boiling water.
They saw a bronze furnace more than a meter in diameter in the center of the cabin, about two meters high.
Bone-white flames burned under the furnace.
The sound of boiling water and the rich medicinal fragrance came from the medicine furnace.
"Don't worry, it'll be ready soon." The old man turned his head, showing Jun Wuxie and Mu Yunxi a toothy smile, "Does it smell good? This contains the peerless treasures that this old man collected for most of his life. Each treasure is a peerless treasure that strengthens the flesh and rejuvenates it!"
"Oh, it should be about ready."
The old man circled the medicine furnace twice, and with a clang, he lifted the lid.
Suddenly, various colored lights bloomed, and a rich life essence filled the air, forming a cloud of essence clouds above the medicine furnace, gathering and not dissipating.
Jun Wuxie's eyes twitched. The essence was too pure. Even inhaling a trace of it from this distance made one's pores expand, as if about to ascend.
"Come on, young people, it's your turn."
The old man looked at them and said.
"What do you mean?"
Mu Yunxi asked in a cold voice.
"A medicinal primer. Only by using your fresh bodies as a medicinal primer can this old man refine the Rebirth Elixir and extend my life by another generation. This decaying body has crossed the ages and will eventually reach the other shore. At that time, this old man will no longer have to stay in this river of no return."
"You pervert!"
Mu Yunxi was furious, and fear arose in her heart.
To be refined into a great medicine?
No one could accept such a thing.
"Alas, since you are unwilling, then this old man has no choice but to do it myself."
The old man came out of the cabin and walked towards them.
That wrinkled face, like old tree bark, was so thin that it was only skin and bones, his cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets were dark, his teeth were even more rotten and black, his turbid old eyes were cold and gloomy, like a ghost crawling out of hell.
He took off his bamboo hat, revealing his dry scalp, with only a few sparse, withered hairs growing on his head.
The whole person looked like a coffin maggot full of twilight, with his neck buried in the soil.
Rumble!
Jun Wuxie suddenly erupted, Primordial Disassembly, Blood Transformation into Demon superimposed, a huge demon form manifested behind him.
Clang!
A battle sword filled with invincible sword intent appeared in his hand, slashing towards the old man at the speed of light, fast, accurate, and ruthless!
"Hehe."
The old man just waved his hand casually, and the invincible sword energy was instantly frozen. The battle sword condensed from blood energy cracked and shattered piece by piece, and even Jun Wuxie's body was imprisoned.
"Young man, you are really full of vitality. Superimposing dual forbidden techniques, so unloving of your own body, this old man really feels sorry for you. You should not waste your strength. Rest assured, this old man will help you live a wonderful life with your lives."
As the old man's voice fell, he waved his sleeve, and Jun Wuxie and Mu Yunxi suddenly flew up and landed in the medicine furnace with a bang, splashing hot water.
Clang!
The furnace lid fell, sealing the medicine furnace tightly.
"My Rebirth Elixir!"
The old man's eyes were fiery. He slapped the gap between the furnace lid and the medicine furnace a few times, sealing the lid to prevent the leakage of medicinal energy and affect the effect of the great medicine.
He squatted in front of the medicine furnace, patiently watching the flames, controlling the heat.
Inside the medicine furnace, it was pitch black, but it was full of essence.
Jun Wuxie and Mu Yunxi fell into it and immediately felt a terrifying high temperature coming from below.
That kind of high temperature was so terrible that Mu Yunxi could hardly resist even running the [Ice Snow Ancient God Art], and only felt that her body was about to be refined.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."
Jun Wuxie transmitted his voice secretly, embracing Mu Yunxi in front of him, and the golden blood energy formed a circular shield.
Suddenly, Mu Yunxi felt that the unbearable heat instantly subsided.
"I have extremely strong resistance to fire elements. Although the old coffin maggot uses White Underworld Bone Fire, it cannot cause me harm. I will protect you with a blood energy shield, and nothing will happen to you."
Mu Yunxi never thought that she would encounter such a thing one day.
Even hearing Jun Wuxie say this, she still felt uneasy, her body leaned into his arms, her hands tightly hugging his strong waist, her face against his chest, like a helpless girl shrinking into his arms.
"Don't be afraid." Jun Wuxie reached out and hooked her chin, looking into her eyes, and transmitted his voice, "Believe me, nothing will happen to us!"
Mu Yunxi's face gradually turned red, and the blush gradually spread, soon even her earlobes and crystal clear neck were flushed.
In such a confined and narrow space, mist was steaming, men and women were tightly embracing, their skin was touching, and their eyes were facing each other.
Even if she was an ice and snow fairy, it was difficult to resist the masculine aura of the man she was relying on, which intoxicated the opposite sex.
Her heart was beating fast, her breathing was disordered, her face was flushed, her red lips were slightly open, and her shy eyes seemed to have autumn water rippling in them, which was captivating.
Jun Wuxie was very speechless. Originally, hugging her like this in such a space would easily give rise to erotic thoughts.
Even if he was facing danger at this moment, it was difficult for him to control the surging blood in his body.
That was the impulse from male instinct.
Now seeing her charming and seductive appearance, he couldn't restrain his desire to commit a crime!
He knew he couldn't, but there was an impulse that was too strong. If he didn't vent it, it would be like a blockage in his heart, extremely uncomfortable.
He suddenly lowered his head, held her soft, hot lips, kissed her hard, and then suddenly separated.
"Look down, don't look at me!"
This kiss was considered to have vented some of the physical impulse.
Without waiting for Mu Yunxi to react, she pressed her head against her chest, taking deep breaths and inhaling the rich essence.
He knew he had to divert his attention and not focus all his thoughts on the woman in his arms.
This woman was too beautiful, especially with her Ice Muscle Physique, which was a great temptation for men.
He immediately activated his Primordial True Eyes, and instantly saw all kinds of peerless treasures floating on the water!
Hundred-thousand-year-old Flesh Ganoderma, hundred-thousand-year-old ginseng, ginseng fruit, and many humanoid great medicines that were tens of thousands of years old and above.
He reached out and took a Flesh Ganoderma, biting into it, and instantly, the intense essence sprayed out from his orifices.
"Good stuff! This is exactly the peerless treasure I need most to cultivate my physical body!"
He was so excited, he couldn't find these things even with a lantern in normal times.
The worst of the medicines here are all at the Semi-Saint level!
Most importantly, the treasures contained within these precious medicines are not spiritual energy, but the life essence needed to cultivate the physical body!
He chewed the Flesh Ganoderma mouthful by mouthful.
The majestic essence rushed towards his limbs, too violently, tearing his meridians apart.
But his recovery ability was quite amazing, and he instantly repaired himself.
His physical body was constantly being tempered, and he could feel his strength gradually increasing.
This essence strengthened the physical body, and was absorbed by the physical body. The strengthened physical body produced more blood energy, which gathered in the cave, causing the stars of the Natal Star and Star Sea to become stronger and more numerous.
Two hours later.
With a bang!
A vigorous golden blood energy erupted from his body, shaking Mu Yunxi in his arms so hard that she almost vomited blood.
"Breakthrough? I can actually break through to the Sovereign Emperor realm here?"
He was surprised and delighted. There was no suppression of the Sovereign Emperor realm here, and he directly broke through?
Moreover, the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm seemed to cut off the Heavenly Dao order induction from the outside world, and would not attract thunder tribulation.
He didn't have a thunder tribulation when he broke through to the Sovereign King realm.
But thinking about it, he definitely won't be able to escape it after going out.
At the same time, in front of the medicine furnace, the old man in the straw raincoat's eyes gleamed, and he stood up excitedly.
"The Stillbirth Great Medicine is truly extraordinary. With these two medicinal primers, it has produced an anomaly so quickly. That roar must be the collision force generated when the medicinal energy fused!"
He rubbed his hands excitedly, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
