In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 130 "Principles", by Haoran Qiu!

Chapter 130, "Principles," a timeless truth!

Before Xie Dongshan could speak, he continued, "Of course, how could you not know?"

"You've achieved something that only exists in the legendary realm of ancient Confucian scholars,"

"He must have read extensively and been well-versed in the classics, how could he not know what the consequences would be if he took that final step?"

"Ugh……"

Xie Dongshan sighed.

“I really didn’t know anything about this great Confucian scholar or the final step until you came to me. I vaguely understood something then.”

"When you came to me, you told me to be wary of her..."

Xie Dongshan paused, then took out an extremely old book, so tattered it looked like it would crumble in the wind.

He gently stroked the book, as if caressing a rare treasure.

Both intoxicated and restrained.

"The Principles... If it weren't for the two sages back then, humanity would never have been able to escape the Great Devastation, and the Great Recovery would have been delayed by an unknown number of years."

"This 'Principle' is the essence of the teachings of the two sages, a priceless treasure..."

After a moment, he relaxed his grip, saying, "You actually managed to get your hands on such a treasure, and then just gave it away like that. What a magnanimous person you are..."

"Everyone says you're the best in Leizhou. I didn't believe it back then, but now I truly admire you."

He shook his head: "Unfortunately, this isn't related to the books I read, so I'll have to return it to you."

"That's also why I came here. Before I leave, I should return this book to you."

Chen Yuntao had come to see him before.

He also realized that his sudden invitation from the Federation was probably related to Chen Yuntao.

Of all the people he had ever met, only Chen Yuntao might have had that kind of power.

Chen Zhongtang couldn't help but widen his eyes, revealing a look of horror.

"reason"?!

He knew his master possessed this treasure, but he never expected it to be given away, especially to Xie Dongshan, who was neither an enemy nor a close ally.

Even more unexpectedly, Xie Dongshan was able to refuse such a treasure.

Chen Yuntao glanced at it but didn't take it: "The book 'The Principles' is completely meaningless to ordinary people like us."

"But for a great scholar like you who has grasped the true meaning of the book, it is indeed a treasure of the world,"

"Though you may be called a great scholar, you are nothing more than a mortal body with no strength to even kill a chicken,"

"With it, you can harness the spiritual power of a great Confucian scholar,"

"You might surpass me overnight, and you don't even want to seek revenge?"

Xie Dongshan smiled: "Of course I know. I also want to have power, so that at least I can give Lingxin and Lingguan something to rely on."

“Especially Lingxin, I owe him so much over the years…”

"But...those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

Chen Yuntao said, "That's why you need to control the power."

"Otherwise, once you take that final step... it will certainly be a great blessing for the entire Federation,"

"But for those two children, it means losing a father."

Xie Dongshan sighed, "In the spirit official's heart, he may not see me as his father, as for the spirit's heart..."

“In his eyes, I was a useless father, not even worthy of being called a father,”

"That's fine too. At least my departure won't have any impact on them."

Chen Yuntao nodded and took the book.

"Since that's the case, I won't insist."

Xie Dongshan returned the books and stood up, saying, "Then I'll take my leave."

He took a step, then stopped.

"I'll leave tonight to avoid unnecessary trouble later."

"Once I leave, I probably won't have a chance to come back."

"No matter what, you and she were husband and wife. Please take good care of her out of consideration for that relationship."

Xie Dongshan's expression remained calm until this moment, when he finally revealed a hint of pleading.

Chen Yuntao said, "Don't worry, one thing at a time. From now on, they are all children of the Chen family. As long as I am here, no one can bully them."

"Thank you!"

Xie Dongshan said something heavy, then turned and left, his demeanor showing a hint of resolute determination.

Chen Yuntao watched him go with his hands behind his back until he could no longer see him.

a long time.

Chen Zhongtang finally couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why... are you being so polite to him?"

Great Confucian scholars? Those are all outdated concepts.

At least for now, Xie Dongshan is just an ordinary person with no strength to even kill a chicken, and he has no power or influence.

Chen Yuntao remained silent.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "Great Confucian scholar... if he takes that final step, the entire Federation will owe him a debt of gratitude."

Even if he transforms into Haoran, this affection will always remain.

Chen Zhongtang thought he understood: "So that's how it is. As expected, Master is farsighted and has a profound plan."

Chen Yuntao ignored him.

Summer insects can't talk about ice.

We're just ordinary mortals after all...

They can only see the tiny, insignificant gains within three feet of them.

If a person is constantly caught up in this mundane pursuit of gain and loss, he has already cut himself off from the true path.

Life is fleeting, like the life of grass and trees in autumn.

In the end, all that's left is a handful of yellow earth.

How tragic, how lamentable...

Although Xie Dongshan was an ordinary person, he had already forged his own path.

Although the physical body cannot last forever, the spirit will live on forever.

A noble spirit that will last for a thousand autumns...

……

"Dragon Palace Banquet? What's that?"

Xie Lingxin lay half-reclined on Brother Agou's expensive sofa, her left leg resting on her right knee, scrolling through her phone.

[For Sale: A detailed map of the "Dragon Palace Banquet" (including related information)]

Seeking clues from ancient scriptures related to the "Dragon Palace Banquet"

Seeking to purchase "Dragon Palace" Longevity Elixir

【…】

While waiting for his ID card, he scanned the trading hall and the mission hall.

The text contains numerous references to "Dragon Palace" and "Dragon Palace Banquet."

I'd never seen it before; it seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

I did some searching before I learned some information.

It's actually a "dead zone"?
Fat Orange just told him about it, and he saw it already?
Xie Lingxin seemed to be deep in thought.

Putting everything else aside, he seems to have spotted a business opportunity in it. Longevity pills…

"Ah Gou, are all things that prolong life very precious?"

"Of course."

Shen Wen's slightly irritated voice came from his room.

Xie Lingxin knew that he was practicing sexual cultivation.

But to be frank, Ah Gou's martial arts are very impressive, but his sexual cultivation is truly terrible.

He'd been scrolling through his phone for so long, but he still hadn't entered a meditative state.

They come back as soon as you call them.

The more I try to fix it, the more agitated I get. What's the point of fixing it?

It would be better to get your leg hair trimmed.

"boom!"

The door was slammed open and then slammed shut.

Shen Wen walked out with a dark face.

"I'm practicing meditation, what are you yelling about? Are you crazy?!"

Xie Lingxin rolled her eyes: "Blame the latrine for not being able to poop... Hmm? That doesn't seem quite right? Never mind."

"Ah Gou, if I were you, you'd better serve me well. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I can give you some pointers and turn even a stubborn rock into gold!"

"You? You think you're worthy?"

Shen Wen scoffed.

But saying it out loud makes me a little tempted.

That night at the police station, he personally witnessed Xie Lingxin's white dragon spirit.

This kid may be annoying, but his mental cultivation is truly impressive...

No! What are you thinking?

His teacher is a true spiritual master of the highest order, so how could he be inferior to him?

"In this world, besides time, the hardest thing to regain is lifespan."

"Even though the Federation's technology is now capable of many incredible things, things that were impossible even in the ancient mythological era, we can do now,"

"But it cannot break the limit of human lifespan."

"Ordinary people don't live past a hundred years, but a few exceptionally gifted people are the exceptions."

"Breaking through the mysterious barrier increases lifespan by one hundred years; returning to the primordial spirit increases lifespan by one hundred years."

"In other words, once all twelve heavenly barriers are broken, one will have a lifespan of three hundred years, which is the limit of the limit."

"After that, it will be difficult to extend one's lifespan."

"There are treasures and elixirs in the realm that can prolong life; this is almost the only way to extend one's lifespan."

"Even if it only extends one's lifespan by a year, this kind of thing is extremely valuable."

As Shen Wen spoke, he noticed that Xie Lingxin's eyes were already flashing with golden light.

"what are you doing?"

Xie Lingxin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth: "I feel like I'm going to make a fortune."

"?"

Xie Lingxin ignored him and, with a thought, the pottery jar appeared in her hand.

Shen Wen's eyelids twitched at the sight.

A legendary treasure?!
"Date pits bring wealth, mountain gods lend money, blessings are repaid in the underworld, life is lent in the mortal world, whether it's money or life, don't be surprised if something seems strange!"

Shen Wen: "..."

Xie Lingxin shook the earthenware jar, and Wangcai was shaken out.

"Awooo!"

Master! I'm sleeping!
Wangcai grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, you'll sleep until you die! I asked you to do some work, have you finished it yet!"

"Awooo!"

Master, the jujube tree has survived!
However, after the transplant, it was like a disaster, and it will take time to recover.

It's best to invest some spiritual energy first. Before that, it's best not to pick the dates, otherwise it will damage the foundation of the jade date.

Xie Lingxin frowned.

I haven't even made any money yet, and you want me to invest more?

He originally thought that jujubes had the effect of prolonging life.

However, I now realize that this thing really shouldn't be exchanged for money.

What a loss.

Not to mention that the Jade Date Cave is extremely effective in assisting in the cultivation of spiritual power, it also requires spiritual energy to nurture it.

The cost is too high.

"What about the thousand-year-old leek? Was the transplant successful?"

The five thousand-year-old leeks found in Daheishan also have the effect of prolonging life!
"Ouch..."

Wangcai lowered his head.

Xie Lingxin understood.

Useless!

Shen Wen watched from the side, feeling a little frightened.

He saw that black and white "puppy" very clearly that night.

With a single claw and a tail, it smashed the enormous white bone Buddha to pieces.

Xie Lingxin actually treated it so casually?

"Ding dong~"

Xie Lingxin's phone vibrated, and she picked it up to take a look.
