Chapter: 5656

"The two of them almost lost their lives in the tens of thousands of mountains; luckily, they were rescued by a reclusive Taoist priest who lived in the mountains. That priest was also a Han person and saw that the two of them were being chased by the Manchu soldiers. He felt compassion and took them as his disciples, leaving them to cultivate themselves in the mountains."

"In the 12th year of Yongzheng, which is 1658 AD, the Qing army launched a multi-directional attack on Yunnan and Guizhou. The Southern Ming was in danger, so my father decided to leave with Wu Feiyan and head south to resist the Qing. However, their abilities were limited, as the Qing army had strong soldiers and horses, and many Han people who collaborated with them."

"The next year, they suffered a major defeat in the south, and the subsequent years saw a lamentable song of the Southern Ming dynasty... After that, my father and Wu Feiyan recruited some righteous men who vowed to resist the Qing and restore the Ming. They fought against the Qing army for two years, but were ultimately unable to change the tide."

"In the 16th year of Yongzheng, which is 1662 AD, the traitorous Han person Wu Shigui killed the Yongzheng emperor in Yunnan. My father was grief-stricken and decided with Wu Feiyan to lead a group of righteous men to assassinate Wu Shigui but failed."

"He and Wu Feiyan were pursued by tens of thousands of Qing soldiers, while the mainland had already been occupied by the Qing court. They were forced to flee to Taiwan and seek the help of Zheng Chenggong to continue resisting the Qing. However, they soon received news that Zheng Gong had passed away suddenly, leaving them with no choice but to return to the tens of thousands of mountains."

"There, they found their master and sought to spend a few more years in meditation and cultivation, first to avoid danger and second to enhance their abilities. But upon their return to the mountains two years later, which is 1663 AD, their master felt that his time was near its end..."

"He then asked, 'That Wu Feiyan followed your father to battle for many years and was willing to kill your father just for a single elixir?'"

"Wu Feiyan had always deeply loved my father-in-law. It's just that my father-in-law in his heart still cherished my mother and had no feelings towards her, so he continued to keep her at a distance;"

"After obtaining the Longevity Elixir, our master left for the west on a crane, and we settled down after taking care of our master's affairs. Wu Feiyan took the Longevity Elixir and then suggested that my father abandon his plan to resist the Qing and instead stay with her in the tens of thousands of mountains for five hundred years as a pair of immortals. However, my father refused again, scolding her for forgetting national hatred, betraying her dead brother, and causing a quarrel between them;"

"My father was unwilling to abandon me to live for five hundred years or give up his homeland's emotions, so he explicitly told Wu Feiyan three points: first, he would not remarry in this life; second, he would leave the Longevity Elixir for me; third, he would go out and fight the Qing court to death;"

"Wu Feiyan might have felt deeply humiliated. Seeing my father unwilling to stay with her, she tried to snatch his Longevity Elixir and the ring left by our master for him, so she suddenly attacked my father;"

"My father was seriously injured at that time and was sent back to Yunnan by the ring from the tens of thousands of mountains after I took the Longevity Elixir. Only then did he tell me everything that had happened."

Lei Zhen's mind was shocked beyond words, wondering why a man on the spirit platform would call himself Lin Zhichou. It turned out that he was indeed a true national hero, and his whole life never forgot his initial intentions or wavered in the face of temptation to live for five hundred years. His character was worthy of being called a saint.

Thinking about this, Lei Zhen asked her, "Wu Feiyan knew you had already eaten the Longevity Elixir and continued to pursue you, is it really just because of this ring on my hand?"

"Yes!" Lin Wan'er nodded: "Wu Feiyan's greatest wish was for this ring, because our master told my father-in-law before his death that no matter how much of the Longevity Elixir one eats, it can only make a person live for five hundred years;"

"If you want to live longer, you need another kind of elixir called the Reversal Elixir. The Reversal Elixir can extend a person's lifespan to one thousand years! And the recipe for this Reversal Elixir is likely hidden inside this ring."

"It's interesting, Wan Gu Chang Qing and Bai Zhuan Qian Hui are actually two phases that complement each other. Wan Gu Chang Qing Dan preserves one's life for the first five hundred years, while Bai Zhuan Qian Hui Dan preserves it for the last five hundred years. If there is no Wan Gu Chang Qing Dan, just eating Bai Zhuan Qian Hui Dan is useless."

Lin Wan'er said again: "I've told you before, after consuming Wan Gu Chang Qing Dan, one's physical body can no longer maintain eternal youth and vitality; only for the last hundred years."

"Wu Feiyan has already reached four hundred years old. If she doesn't get Bai Zhuan Qian Hui Dan, her lifespan will be left with just a hundred years, and in the last fifty years, she'll turn into an elderly woman who's as old as the hills;"

"If she can take Bai Zhuan Qian Hui Dan before that, she can live for another five hundred years at her current state;"

"This is also why she's so anxious to find me and this ring."

Lei Zhen widened his eyes: "Is there really a medicinal elixir in the world that allows people to live up to a thousand years?"

"There is." Lin Wan'er smiled slightly, speaking seriously: "Master's master really lived to be one thousand years old. He was born in the year of Tang Dynasty's 6th year and died in the year of 1663 on the Gregorian calendar."

"Tang Dynasty's 6th year......" Lei Zhen listened until this point and couldn't help but mutter: "This Tang Dynasty's 6th year sounds so familiar..."

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly: "Maybe it's because you learned well in school?" JrNovels.com
