Full-Time Magister: Starting with Two Divine Eyes, Dominating Eternity

Chapter 220 The Elixir of Immortality, the Truth Behind the Ruins

"Immortal and indestructible?"

When the old man of extinction heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he sneered.

"The so-called immortality is nothing but a curse."

"curse?"

This was the first time Xiao Ying had ever heard of this thing.

"yes."

The Old Man of Extinction slowly moved his skeletal body, turning his back to Xiao Ying.

"Before that, let me tell you my story. It's been a long time since anyone has talked to me."

Xiao Ying nodded and did not refuse.

"This can't really be called a story; to be precise, it's something I experienced years ago." The old man, somewhat forlorn, sat on the throne, stroking it as he spoke:

"When I was your age, my strength was only at the level of a super-class mage, and my talent was also mediocre, destined to remain unknown."

But I refuse to believe it; I refuse to bow down to fate!

"So I kept cultivating, striving towards the forbidden spell with that unwilling determination."

"Stop, stop, stop! Get to the point."

He felt that if he continued listening to the old man talk like this, it would probably take ten days or half a month for him to finish.

"."

"In the end, I mastered the forbidden spell, taking poison as my path." The old man slowly said, "However, the forbidden spell is only a new starting point. In addition to a great increase in cultivation, a person's lifespan can only be a short hundred years."

"I wasn't as lucky as others; by the time I broke through the forbidden spell, half my neck was already above the ground."

"It can be said that I have spent my entire life on the path of cultivation."

As he spoke, the old man's tone became increasingly agitated.

"It was then that I realized that forbidden spellcasters are not omnipotent; they are human too, and like all humans, they will die one day."

"Death is something most people can't face, especially for forbidden spellcasters. They've climbed to such a high position, and before they can even enjoy it for a few years, they have to face death."

"How incredibly resentful I was back then!"

"So I made a decision that defies common sense!"

"That is the way to seek immortality."

"???"

Everything was fine at the beginning, so why did the tone suddenly change later on?

"So you succeeded and survived until now," Xiao Ying said.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "In a sense, yes."

"I follow the path of poison, and my greatest skill is not combat but scientific research and potion making. In order to seek this elusive way to immortality, I have traveled to countless places and experienced countless life-and-death situations."

"Fortunately, heaven saw my perseverance. Just when I was about to give up, in a place called Kunlun, a place I remember very clearly..."

The surrounding environment was extremely harsh, with clouds and fog everywhere.

There I gathered a spiritual herb with extremely potent life force. Using this herb as a catalyst, on the eve of my death, I concocted a potion and drank it myself, becoming the recipient of the medicine.

"That's crazy."

Xiao Ying's lips twitched.

Kunlun Mountain.

He had never been to this place before. The strength of the creatures that lived there was unknown, let alone Xiao Ying, even on a global scale. It was said that a being with strength no less than the Emperor of the Rooftop lived there.

Moreover, Kunlun Mountain is very close to human cities, so even forbidden spellcasters dare not venture deep into it.

They were terrified that the emperor inside might go berserk and flatten the city.

Fortunately, the emperors dwelling there have been respectful to humans, remaining steadfast and non-aggressive even after so many years. Otherwise, the emperors in Kunlun Mountain would have gone berserk, no less so than the emperors of the ocean empire.

"If you don't go crazy, how can you see tomorrow's sun?" the old man said undeniably.

"Since you've achieved immortality, how did you end up looking like this?" Xiao Ying asked in confusion.

Turning into a skeleton, neither human nor ghost, is probably worse than death. He'd rather just die; there's no way he could survive in a human-dominated area looking like that.

Once discovered, they will definitely be treated as heretics and will be used as specimens for research in no time.

"Why"

"Have you ever heard of curses?" the old man sighed.

"A curse?" Xiao Ying was confused. "You've been cursed?"

Whose curse is this powerful? Even a forbidden curse mage probably couldn't do it.

"I suspect that the herb is cursed!" the old man said very seriously.

"Because that medicinal herb has been growing deep in the Kunlun Mountains since it was born, that area is shrouded in smog and never sees the sun from morning to night."

"If humans absorb it, they will suffer a backlash."

As the saying goes, extremes meet, so from that day on, my body began to slowly change due to the backlash from the elixir, and within a few days I became like this.

"."

Is the relationship still the same?

Xiao Ying was both amused and exasperated, but in a sense, this could be considered a dream come true for the old man.

"After talking for so long, I forgot to ask where you're from? How is my hometown doing these days?" the old man asked.

He always had an indescribable feeling when he looked at Xiao Ying.

Are all mages in this era this talented? A semi-forbidden spell mage under thirty years old, with mental strength at the ninth level and the ability to control several emperor-level creatures.

You must know that it spent its entire life researching the Crown of Extinction and finally managed to capture the corpse of an emperor-level creature in order to control an emperor, and that emperor's intelligence was not yet fully developed.

"China," Xiao Ying said.

"I see."

The old man seemed to be deep in thought. "China, ah, the food there is really good. It is indeed a wonderful country."

"Which country are you from? Maybe I've even been there," Xiao Ying asked casually.

"I can't remember anymore. I only know that my hometown was beautiful, but also very chaotic," the old man said.

"."

So you asked for nothing.

"So how did you get here, and how much do you know about the origin of this place?" Xiao Ying stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point, having asked enough questions.

Upon hearing this, the old man paused for a moment, then slowly spoke again:

"This place has existed for a long time. It was already here when I arrived. As for how I got here, it's probably the same as yours—seeking thrills."

"???"

"Hehe, just kidding."

Soon, the old man's tone changed again, becoming extremely serious.

"This place is a mystery, but it's also a trap."

"It's a good thing you met me, otherwise you would have been stuck here forever."
