I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 351 Who Can Escape Death? (13)

The outermost edge of the Baidi Mountains, the entrance and exit of the Baidi Grand Canal.

Ling Gu Zi had just returned with a full load of goods and hadn't even had a chance to go and tell Gao Yao Jun the good news when he was blocked in the river by Xuan Si Gu, who had a furious look on her face.

Under the curious gaze of countless passing ships, a giant bronze serpent floated in the middle of the river.

Opposite the bronze serpent, a woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face floated quietly in mid-air.

Even though he didn't say a word, even though he didn't do anything drastic...

But anyone with eyes could see that Xuan Si Gu was furious at that moment.

Ling Gu Zi, as the instigator, could certainly see it too.

"Um...actually...I..."

After hesitating for a long time, Ling Gu Zi couldn't find a suitable reason and could only choose to remain silent.

"Tell me! What medicinal herbs did you go out to find this time?"

Fortunately, after a brief period of annoyance, Susanna did not fly into a rage.

After experiencing this kind of thing many times, anyone would get used to it.

Saying it's nothing new might be an exaggeration, but the threshold for Suspended Silkworm has indeed risen considerably.

"Hmm, the ingredients for the 'elixir of immortality'."

Upon hearing Ling Gu Zi's words, Xuan Si Gu didn't even realize what they meant.

"I knew it, you definitely would..."

"Wait! The elixir of immortality!? Is it the elixir of immortality I know!?"

Suddenly her pupils dilated violently, and Suspended Silk Maiden was so frightened that she almost reverted to her original form.

In fact, not only was Xuan Si Gu startled, but Tong Yao Jun, who was eavesdropping in the distance, almost lost his composure as well.

Although He had long known of Ling Gu Zi's ability to cause trouble, He had not expected that the other party would cause such a big problem.

That's an elixir of immortality!

Something that is almost universally known, both in legends and in reality.

"It's not the elixir of immortality, it's the...excipients of the elixir of immortality?"

After tilting his head and considering it for a moment, Ling Gu Zi said this with some uncertainty.

Then, Ling Gu Zi took out the broken finger bone, revealing the unformed body within, like an embryo.

"You crazy person!"

Xuan Si Gu was not the kind of person who lacked knowledge.

Especially after she switched to cultivating the Heavenly Human Method, she could clearly feel the vibrant life force within that invisible embryo.

"Is this thing alive? I think I saw it struggling?"

As Xuan Si Gu said, although Meng Zhang was sealed in his finger bone, he was still alive.

The formless body, like an embryo, struggled incessantly, trying to break through the seal of the spiritual bone, which indirectly caused most of the finger bones to be stained greenish-blue.

"Yes, He is alive, and He is a god."

Ling Gu Zi gently shook his finger bones and began to explain Meng Zhang's background without any apparent concern.

"He claimed to be one of the four great gods under the command of the God of the East Sea, and he was lucky to survive from Wu Yi's hands."

"Then they were tricked and became part of the 'elixir of immortality'."

"To be honest, the person who designed this 'elixir of immortality' concoction ceremony is truly ingenious..."

“They clearly don’t know the correct recipe for the ‘elixir of immortality,’ and may not even know what materials the ‘elixir of immortality’ actually requires.”

"So they adopted another method—the art of Gu poison."

"Or to be more precise, the guy who set up this ritual was simulating..."

Before Ling Guzi could even finish speaking, Xuan Sigu had already raised her voice and interrupted his sermon.

"Ling Gu Zi!!!"

The sudden increase in volume startled Ling Gu Zi, and also startled the nearby ships. [Tsk tsk tsk, that mother spider is really cautious.]

Turning his head away without making a sound, Kouyao-jun felt a little regretful that he hadn't heard what happened next.

But he also knew that it would be impolite to listen any further.

In any myth or legend, those associated with the elixir of immortality rarely have a good ending.

However, this is a mountainous region...

With Li Boyang protecting me, perhaps I really will be able to witness the birth of the 'elixir of immortality'?

A hundred mountains, Gaojia Village.

Despite his towering stature and high prestige, Panhu still worked in the fields every day.

However, compared to before, Panhu's current job has changed from personally going to the ground to driving those bronze beasts to do the work.

At the same time, under Panhu's guidance, Gaojia Village took the initiative to expand the village's roads.

In a sense, apart from Lijiacun and Gaocun Town, Gaojiacun should be considered the village with the best-built roads.

Li Family Village possesses a significant inherent advantage due to the presence of Li Boyang.

Gao Village Town is responsible for coordinating the planning of mountain roads and rural roads throughout the entire Baidi Mountain area, which gives it an advantage due to its proximity to the area.

Only Gaojia Village took the initiative to develop and continuously improve its roads.

Moreover, Gaojia Village is actively seeking transformation, moving away from the primitive agricultural stage and entering the relatively developed field of handicrafts.

Nowadays, the Bai Di Mountains have basically solved the problem of food and clothing and have entered a stage of population explosion.

The number of newborns in the past decade has already surpassed that of any period in the previous thousand years.

With the popularization of education by Li Boyang, more and more mountain people have realized that relying on the sky and the land can only provide food, but cannot further improve their living standards.

Therefore, the adventurous mountain people decided to travel to the outside world via the Hundred Lands Canal.

Those mountain dwellers who chose to stay in the Baidi Mountains learned from the practices of the mountain valley villages and actively developed their own unique advantageous industries.

As one of the best among them, Gaojia Village has now become the headquarters of "leather processing" in the mountains of Baidi.

Textiles, metallurgy, ceramics, lacquerware, shipbuilding, brewing, salt production, brick and tile making, papermaking...

In today's diverse landscape of mountains and rivers, where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

The only area that few villages are involved in is "leather processing," which is also one of Gaojia Village's strengths.

After participating in the South China Sea battle, Panhu asked Li Boyang for the technology related to "how to develop leather processing" as his reward.

From the simplest leather boots to the slightly more sophisticated talismanic leather armor, and finally to the revolutionary artificial leather technology...

Under Panhu's leadership, Gaojia Village is gradually shedding its old ways and embracing a brighter tomorrow.

"There are just too few educated people. Maybe we could set up a primary school in our own village."

Just then, the old woman, whose face was already quite aged, murmured, her eyes filled with a sense of relief.

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye, watching my children lead my village to the way it is today.

This was a tremendous comfort to the elderly woman.

She no longer has to worry about her children being ostracized by the village, and can even afford to dream about the future.

"Yes, I will discuss this agenda with everyone at the next village meeting."

Panhu squatted down next to the old woman and responded in a soft voice, just like when he was a child.

However, when Panhu turned his head again, the old woman had already slowly closed her eyes and did not answer him.

"mother……"

Despite having been prepared, Panhu still couldn't help but shed tears when the moment actually arrived.

From this day forward, Panhu knew he had no one to rely on anymore, and no one would wait for him to come home late at night.
