Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

The technology of the ancient Xianzhou Kingdom was quite advanced.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to build nine immortal ships to go out and seek medicine.

The "Zhige" prototype of the Golden Man, which was equipped on the nine immortal ships in the past, was the instigator of the Golden Man rebellion during the Three Tribulations Era.

This important weapon, designed specifically for warfare by an ancient kingdom, has metal limbs that are far larger than those of modern golden statues. It was also disassembled and stored separately, with an inert liquid medium injected into the vessel for a long period of time.

This "Stop the War" prototype golden figure will only be activated again during times of war.

It is precisely because the ancient kingdom was so technologically advanced thousands of years ago that many members of the Immortal Boat Alliance, who have been away for many years, are still searching for their way home.

"Now that you sit in the position of General Luofu, you must have a better understanding of many things that you couldn't access before."

"Can the divine fruit bestowed by 'Abundance' from the Jianmu tree truly, through simple refining into pills, grant the inhabitants of the Immortal Ship eight hundred years of lifespan, and even allow it to be passed down through their genes to future generations?"

"Why was it that only the 'Primordial Immortal' successfully refined this elixir after all these years since the Immortal Ship obtained the Jianmu tree?"

"And why... does it still occasionally grow limbs, wings, bone spurs, and other structures on its body even now?"

"I suppose you've already done some research on this, haven't you?"

"If the era of the 'Primordial Immortals' is too ancient, the elixirs and formulas they refined are no longer verifiable..."

"That 'Secret Recipe of the Medicine King's Dragon Coil and Leaping Remedy... Jingyuan, you can't be unaware of it, can you?"

Seeing that Jingyuan remained silent, Zhongheng continued:

"7 qian of Angelica sinensis from Daiyu, 3 qian of Sangpo fudongensis, 1 qian of Codonopsis pilosula from Boyue, 2 dried dung beetles from Tarasa, and 1 dried dragonfly from Fanghu. Distill and extract, filter until clear and free of sediment, let stand at room temperature, and then mix with Boyue ancient seawater in a 1:1 ratio..."

"Take one ounce of *Citrus medica* marrow (must be freshly extracted), let it stand in the mixed solution for twelve hours, then quench the gold needles with the medicinal solution and inject it deeply into the intramuscular muscle..."

"Based on this Dragon Coil and Leaping Elixir formula, and considering the current state of that 'Primordial Immortal,' deduce what was added to the formula. With your intelligence, you shouldn't find it difficult to guess, right?"

Even if a normal person were to gain immortality by consuming a pill made from the essence of the Jianmu Divine Fruit, and even if there were side effects, it wouldn't cause them to continuously grow wings, limbs, bone spurs, or the like, right?

Think back to which species of immortals received abundant blessings at that time.

Winged Creators, Houyhnhnms, Bhuri, Vidyadharas, Fox-people...

It's likely that a lot of the genes of the Immortal Ship people were taken for research or even used in medicine. Otherwise, after one dose of medicine was used, not only would it be effective for the individual, but it could also be passed down through bloodlines.

How is that possible!

Therefore, whether it's the Immortal Ship or other prosperous people, the essence of their longevity is indeed cannibalism!

However, the celestial boat discovered and corrected the situation in time, cutting down the Jianmu tree, abandoning its belief in abundance, and instead embracing the hunt.

Afterwards, while pursuing the abundant evil spirits, they also forbade the people of the Immortal Ship from going out easily, lest their bloodline remain outside and cause even greater disasters.

"So... immortality was something you sought for yourself, and the elixir was something you refined yourself."

"The people of the Immortal Ship Alliance live an average of over eight hundred years. It is only in their later years, due to their demonic possession, that they are judged by the Ten Kings and granted 'peace and happiness,' which is already an immense act of mercy."

"If you continue to covet the removal of the Demonic Body, putting everything else aside, are you, the Immortal Ship people, prepared to face the covetousness of most forces in the universe?"

The fact that immortality, which comes with side effects, is available to people in the Immortal Boat Alliance alone has attracted many outsiders who come to "seek medicine" hoping to become like the Immortal Boat people.

If the side effect of the Demonic Yin Body were removed, the Immortal Ship people would probably be the first to suffer. Even if they stayed in the Immortal Ship Alliance and didn't go out, the protection of the patrols would be useless.

Moreover, the hunting arrows are indiscriminate attacks; if they land on the celestial ship, the people on the ship will be the first to suffer.

At that time, every single person from the Immortal Ship will either be captured to have their blood marrow extracted for research, or they will probably be locked up for breeding.

Thinking about it this way, the side effect of the Demonic Body is indeed quite merciful for the people of the Immortal Ship.

Having figured this out, Jing Yuan's constantly changing expression calmed down, and he even breathed a sigh of relief.

He rose and bowed to Zhong Heng, saying, "Thank you, Your Honor, for clearing up Jing Yuan's doubts."

"Indeed, everything has two sides. From other people's perspectives, the matter of the Demonic Body has become a protective charm for us Immortal Ship people."

"Hahaha... This answer, which overturns the conventional thinking of the people of the Immortal Ship, is really hard to accept for a while."

Fortunately, Jingyuan had lived for over seven hundred years and witnessed many things. He was known as a wise general and his mind was still quite sharp.

If it were some ordinary people on the Immortal Ship who were around the same age as Jing Yuan, they might have been so bewildered by Zhong Heng's words that they were immediately possessed by demonic forces.

Zhong Heng nodded slightly: "It's good that you understand."

Jing Yuan picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then nodded: "In that case, Jing Yuan will not bother you any longer."

"As you know, there are still a lot of things to deal with at Luofu, so I'll take my leave now."

After Jing Yuan left, Zhong Heng, who had nothing to do, took out his phone to see what was happening in the outside world.

I originally planned to go to Luofu to watch Xiao Guizi's live broadcast in person.

Unfortunately, what the people of the Immortal Boat had seen and even experienced firsthand was still too dangerous for Xiao Guizi.

After all, she was only a short-lived species and did not have the absurd self-healing ability of the Immortal Ship people. Moreover, the world she originally lived in had experienced a devastating disaster.

Seeing that something seemed amiss with the wind blowing across the grass in Luofu, he simply stayed home and didn't go out.

Moreover, her best friend Su Chang, who was part of the Yunqi team sent by Yao Qing to provide support, had a lot of things to do right now and didn't have time to go out and set up a stall for a live broadcast or do something like breaking a boulder on her chest.

Upon opening the software on his phone, which resembled a string of characters, Zhong Heng was immediately struck dumb.

There stood Ms. Furnessa, the beloved superstar of Fontainebleau, singing a song that was already very familiar to Zhong Heng under the spotlight—

Ah, si je pouvais vivre dans l'eau,

le monde serait-il plus beau?

Nous pardonneras-tu, ô chère mère?

L'eau dans son courant fait danser nos vies.

Et la cité, elle nourrit.

Ainsi que toi, mon doux amour...
