Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 357 The Old Man's Fear of Insufficient Lifespan
Wu Xian wasn't stupid; the old man's words clearly implied that he was "making arrangements for his funeral."

It's just unexpected that the vigorous and domineering old man is already nearing the end of his life.

Perhaps physical cultivators are different from normal people.

Even in death, he was as vigorous and strong as an ox.

"Please wait a moment, your grandson will get you something nice," Wu Xian said urgently, afraid that the old man might suddenly pass away. "Please hold on, and don't say such unlucky things again."

Wu Mingchang was slightly taken aback, then laughed and cried at the same time: "Don't worry, Grandpa will stay with you for another year or two without any problem."

Hearing this, Wu Xian felt a little more at ease.

But that only made him feel a little more at ease. He hurriedly returned to his room and began refining the Longevity Pill.

He's been researching this thing for the past couple of days and has made some progress.

He had hoped to develop a second or third grade longevity pill in one go, but the old man's "impending death" really made him nervous.

"What is Xian'er trying to do?"

Seeing Wu Xian's tense and busy appearance, Wu Mingchang couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Wu Xian took a deep breath, probed his Qiankun bag with his mind, and said urgently, "King Fungus, hurry up and breed a batch of mushrooms for me, I need them urgently! I'll compensate you later."

"What's going on?"

Inside the Pocket Mushroom Farm, the King Mushroom, who was teasing Little Red, was completely bewildered.

"Just grow mushrooms as I tell you to, why all the nonsense?" Wu Xian said impatiently, "Don't rush, just use your original strain to make medicine."

Upon hearing this, the King Mushroom dared not utter another word and immediately sprouted a bunch of bright red-yellow mushrooms in the mushroom field.

He wanted to ask some questions, but saw Wu Xian roll up the mushrooms and leave.

Seeing the large pile of mushrooms and various spiritual herbs and medicines that his grandson had pulled out, Wu Mingchang naturally realized something. "Xian'er has even learned how to make spiritual medicine?"

"That's it."

Wu Xian responded softly and immediately began to draw the scroll of the Longevity Pill out of thin air.

Seeing Wu Xian create a 3D drawing out of thin air, Wu Mingchang couldn't help but be incredulous.

The mastermind behind the god-killing plan now acts like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

Not long after, looking at the scroll of the laws of heaven and earth in front of Wu Xian, which had condensed into a vermilion "candy bean", Wu Mingchang was still in a state of lingering fear.

"Xian'er, what is this...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Xian used the peculiar "candy bean" to draw a scroll and made a copy of more than a dozen candy beans, which he eagerly handed to him, saying, "Take the medicine first."

"Medicine?" Wu Mingchang asked blankly. "What medicine?"

He subconsciously checked the scroll's information and froze on the spot.

Longevity Pill

Edition type: Rubbings

Rank: First Grade

Spirituality: 19
Features: After consumption, it can extend lifespan to a certain extent.

Seeing his grandson eagerly waiting for him to eat, Wu Mingchang was deeply moved.

Take a deep breath and eat one.

The miraculous medicinal properties spread throughout the body, bringing a sense of comfort and pleasure from the inside out.

The last remaining flame of life seemed to have been rekindled and burned brightly once more.

"This, this, this..."

The old man opened his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, he found that Wu Xian had already copied all the materials in his hand into the same longevity pills and put them all in front of him. "Eat them all, eat them all."

Faced with his grandson's eager and filial devotion, Wu Mingchang could only silently swallow the longevity pills one by one.

Soon after, feeling the vigorous life force within my body, it felt like a dream.

"Now I shouldn't be facing my deathbed, right?"

Wu Xian was satisfied and felt much more at ease. He asked with a smile.

“I’m afraid I could live another lifetime,” Wu Mingchang said with a strange expression. “This elixir…?”

"My grandson recently developed a medicine scroll, and coincidentally, not long ago we found a peculiar fungal monster in the Green Abyss that can provide some unique medicinal properties that increase life force," Wu Xian explained briefly. "However, the medicinal properties are still relatively weak at the moment. Based on your experience, how long can this Longevity Pill extend your lifespan?"

"About three months." Wu Mingchang carefully considered the situation and made a rough judgment. "With so many of these, living another six or seven years shouldn't be a problem."

"Only three months?" Wu Xian was secretly disappointed. It seemed he still needed to improve the quality of the pills.

It only added six or seven years to the old man's lifespan, but it still couldn't alleviate his "fear of insufficient lifespan".

Little did he know, the old man was taken aback by his words, "What do you mean by only three months? Do you know how tempting three months of life is for those old folks?"

"Who cares?" Wu Xian said indifferently, "It's you who matters."

As he spoke, his mind once again probed into the Pocket Mushroom Farm, "Hey, you big king mushroom, hurry up and comprehend this law path. I feel like I need to set a comprehension target for you."

"..."

"Don't worry, you'll get plenty of compensation and benefits."

The core limitation of the Longevity Pill at present is the precious medicinal properties of the King Fungus. Only by strengthening these medicinal properties can a better and more powerful Longevity Pill be made in the future.

Furthermore, if we plan to arrange a longevity celebration for the old man in the future, this medicinal substance will definitely be indispensable.

It's not just the "Longevity Star" (a type of longevity deity); many longevity-promoting spiritual roots and rare natural treasures probably also involve the participation of this medicinal substance.

For example, ginseng fruit, peach trees, and the like.

Therefore, it's necessary to give the King Bacteria some strict orders and training targets.

Otherwise, given the slow pace of the Great King Fungus, it would take a long time for him to come to his own understanding.

After all, fungal creatures already possess a form of immortality, so they're not in a hurry to do anything.

But my old man can't wait!
"Grandpa would be very content if he could live another six or seven years," Wu Mingchang said with a wry smile.

“No, how can that be?” Wu Xian said righteously. “From now on, my grandson and I must be beings who live as long as heaven and earth.”

"Huh?" The old man looked completely bewildered.

To live as long as heaven and earth?
What kind of fantastical and unbelievable fantasy is this?

Those powerful and influential people at the top probably wouldn't dare to think that way, right?

"In short, just live a peaceful life. Your grandson will take care of your lifespan," Wu Xian said without further ado. "If you find retirement life too boring, you can find a companion or something, chat and talk about love, and maybe she can give me a little brother or sister."

Wu Mingchang was both amused and exasperated.

No, what is this?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Grandpa is so old, why would he talk about love..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Xian continued, "Your current old man appearance is indeed not suitable for romance. I'll see if I can get you a pill to restore your youth and keep you young forever."

"Huh?" Wu Mingchang was stunned again. "Eternal youth? There's such a miraculous medicine?"

In a daze, a figure that I dared not recall vaguely surfaced deep in my memory.

Does this mean I can stop being a heartless man for the rest of my life?

This overwhelming amount of information feels like a dream.

I thought that the young couple's ideas were already wildly imaginative and unbelievable.

Their children were even more outrageous.

After a long while, the old man finally recovered from his shock and confusion, and said seriously, "Leaving aside the issue of eternal youth, the cost of your longevity pill must be quite high, right?"

"Actually, it's alright," Wu Xian analyzed.

The main cost is for auxiliary herbs and medicines; the main ingredient can be produced by Da Wang Jun.

"Could Grandpa decide to provide some to others?" Wu Mingchang asked solemnly.

Wu Xian pondered and asked, "Your old comrades-in-arms?"

"Yes."

Wu Mingchang took a deep breath, his eyes burning with intensity.

how to say?

These old guys seem to have the potential to stage another spectacular show.

　Editor Penglai asked me to try writing a short side story, which will be released tomorrow, the 1st. It seems that only the editor can do this, and I'm not quite sure how to release it.

　　This is my first time writing something like this. I think I'm here to get monthly votes, because you need to vote for me to unlock this.

　　Those who are interested in wealth can go and take a look tomorrow.

　　Finally, I wish everyone a happy National Day and may you all prosper!
