Chapter: 5712

Lin Zhichou shouted loudly: "Master!"

He then hurriedly ran out of the cave, but the original master's residence and cultivation cave had suddenly vanished into thin air, leaving no trace, as if it had never appeared at all.

Lin Zhichou's face was shocked, unable to understand what had happened.

At this moment, a few mournful crane calls echoed through the valley, and then the sound continued to spread westward, feeling increasingly distant.

Lin Zhichou knew that the master had already passed away, taking his crane with him to the west. He suddenly knelt on the ground, choked up, and said: "Master... Lin Zhichou thanks you for your divine teachings!"

After saying this, he pounded his head three times in reverence.

At this moment, Wu Feiyun's voice sounded behind him: "Brother! What are you doing to kowtow to that old scoundrel?"

Lin Zhichou immediately turned around, his eyes blazing with fury: "Feiyun! What are you talking about? Shut up and stop talking nonsense!"

"What nonsense?" Wu Feiyun said with disdain. "That old scoundrel has practiced for a thousand years, with countless techniques, elixirs, and talismans at their disposal. Yet, just before death, they only gave us one elixir each. This is truly too much to bear!"

Lin Zhichou shouted in anger: "This is all nonsense! The master saved us, guided us on the path, and helped us resist the Qing dynasty's oppression. This debt of gratitude is like that of a parent. How can you speak such treacherous words?"

"I was wrong?" Wu Feiyun roared with rage. "He's about to die, yet he still holds back from us! What good are those techniques and treasures if not to be used? Is it really meant to be hidden away for someone who is worthy in the future? If so, don't we have a connection with him?"

Lin Zhichou gritted his teeth: "Feiyun, your words today have left me speechless! I never thought you would be so treacherous and ungrateful!"

Wu Feiyun was also full of rage and coldly said: "Brother, you don't need to show reverence to that old man anymore. Now that he's already dead, we should take the Long Life Elixir and quickly elevate our cultivation to find those hidden treasures before time runs out!"

Wu Feiyun's face fell to the extreme: "Lin Zhichou, from today on, I am no longer your senior brother, and you are no longer my junior sister. From today on, you are a member of the Wu family, and I only recognize Flying Swallow as a person, with no connection whatsoever to anyone else!"

Wu Feiyun suddenly got agitated and blurted out: "Senior brother! How can you be so foolish?! That old man lived for over a thousand years, and yet he only gave us elixirs that would allow us to live for five hundred years. It's clear that there's something reserved for us, and it's a massive reserve!"

Lin Zhichou waved his hand dismissively: "Enough, Feiyun! I'm going to stay here and fulfill my filial duty for the master for three years. You can leave on your own."

Wu Feiyun was furious and blurted out: "Senior brother! How could you let me go off on my own now?! All these years, I've had feelings for you, don't you know that?! If you're disgusted with me for lamenting the master's passing, then fine. I'll take back what I just said. Since the master gave us two elixirs that would allow us to live for five hundred years, why can't we swallow them together and become husband and wife, living happily ever after?"

Lin Zhichou spoke with a cold face: "Feiyun, since your mother passed away, I've vowed not to take another wife. This life, aside from avenging the Qing dynasty's oppression, my only wish is to take care of you. Although this elixir could allow us to live for five hundred years, I won't swallow it. I can't watch you grow old and die, and your daughter grow up and become a grandmother. If you're willing to live for five hundred years, then go ahead and do so."

Wu Feiyun bit her lip and asked: "Senior brother, even after I've said everything, you still won't consider marrying me?"

Lin Zhichou nodded: "I've said it before - this life, no more attachments."

Wu Feiyun asked him: "Then what about your elixir? Don't you plan to swallow it at all?"

Lin Zhichou nodded again: "That's like honey to others and arsenic to me. This Long Life Elixir would allow a father to watch his daughter grow old, then her granddaughter grow up, too. To me, this elixir is as deadly as arsenic. Of course I won't swallow it."

"Good!" Wu Feiyun spoke coldly: "Since senior brother doesn't look favorably upon this elixir, why not give it to me? If I can find a suitable husband, I'll live with him for five hundred years and enjoy the luxuries of this world together!"

Saying that, Wu Feiyun added: "Oh, yes! There's also the ring given to you by your master! Since you have no ambition and this ring is of no use to you, why not give it to me? As long as I get these two things from you, I'll leave the Ten Thousand Mountains immediately, starting from today. You take your Yang Pass Road, and I'll cross my own bridge. For the rest of my life, I won't bother you again!"

Lin Zhichou shook his head slightly, looking into the distance, muttering to himself: "The Long Life Elixir is like arsenic to me because I still have a daughter named Wan'er who's only 17 years old. She hasn't gotten married yet, and after I finish my three-year vow to my master, I'll give her this elixir and let her live for the remaining 500 years." JrNovels.com
