Chapter 13 Calculating Lin Chen's Fate, Backlash from Lifespan

Zhu Di did not dare to dwell on Lin Chen's appearance.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face darken, he could only hurriedly beg for mercy.

"Father, I truly never wanted to be emperor! Eldest brother, you know me, I would never steal your throne!"

Zhu Biao, whom he called "elder brother," sat to the side, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"Yes, Father."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly, even though he had known this would be the outcome.

However, thinking back, I had previously asked Zhang Xiaoxiao about the events during his son Zhu Di's reign as emperor.

The Zhu Di described in the text is known as the Yongle Emperor. He led five expeditions to the northern deserts and commissioned the Yongle Encyclopedia, which does not disgrace the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Chen, standing to the side, looked at the large family and finally began to speak with a slight smile.

"Alright, I only said that he has the appearance of a wise and sage ruler. Now that you have cultivated immortality, as long as you do not slack off in your cultivation, you will naturally have a long lifespan. If you can live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, or even become immortal, the throne will not fall into their hands."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement.

"Our ancestors were right."

Upon hearing the words "cultivation of immortality," all the princes instantly became excited.

Zhu Di became even more excited. Although they had previously doubted the cultivation of immortality, they had all tried those techniques.

Since they started cultivating, their strength has been increasing day by day.

Although it lacks the legendary supernatural abilities of immortals, it is enough to prove the power of that technique, and perhaps one can truly become an immortal in the future.

Lin Chen looked at the group of princes, then reached into his robes and pulled out a package.

After the package was unfolded, dozens of red and green fruits were placed inside.

Upon seeing these fruits, the entire imperial study was filled with a rich aura of immortality and spiritual energy.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others couldn't help but become engrossed in it for a time.

After getting used to it, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with a fanatical light. He swallowed and then asked cautiously.

"Ancestor, are these celestial fruits?"

Lin Chen nodded, then shook his head.

"To be honest, it is indeed a divine fruit, but it's just an ordinary one. After all, I'm considered your elder, so how could I not bring some gifts?"

As he spoke, Lin Chen waved his sleeve, and the fruit on the table slowly floated up, drifting towards Zhu Yuanzhang and his princes.

"One for each of you. By the way, don't eat them directly. The immortal power contained inside is beyond your current cultivation level. Dilute it with the pulp and then soak it in water to drink when you get back."

After he finished speaking, the princes looked excitedly at the fruit that had landed in their hands.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a look of ecstasy, but after picking up the spiritual fruit in his hand, his gaze also turned to the spiritual fruits in the hands of the princes.

Seemingly noticing Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, everyone quickly put away the fruit.

Lin Chen chuckled to himself as he observed everyone's reactions.

After a moment, Zhu Biao looked at the fruit with a thoughtful expression in his eyes, and then asked.

"Ancestor, may I ask if the seed inside this fruit can be grown?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly realized what was going on, and then couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

When Lin Chen heard this question, he looked at Zhu Biao and couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't expected this guy to have such a good idea.

However, he had just sensed that the spiritual energy in this world was still very thin. Although it showed signs of recovery, it would still take some time.

Environmental factors meant that even with seeds, it wasn't enough to grow these spiritual fruits.

"The spiritual energy here is too thin, so it's probably impossible to grow it for the time being. If we wait a hundred years, when the spiritual energy in this world is abundant, it might be possible."

"If you want the spiritual energy in this world to become more abundant, you still need to work hard to cultivate yourselves."

"By the way, Old Zhu, you can spread the cultivation methods you have in the future so that the common people can also cultivate them."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment.

If this technique is only in one's own hands, then of course it is possible.

But what if word gets out and someone with extraordinary talent and high cultivation level threatens the throne?

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma for a moment.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns, Lin Chen sighed and then began to speak.

"Alright, pass it on. As for your concerns, they are minor. If you encounter any difficulties, you can naturally ask me for help."

"Moreover, I just saw the imperial fortune of the Ming Dynasty and gained some insights. I even came up with a cultivation method called 'The Method of Fortune'. After perfecting it, this technique will allow you to control the entire dynasty, and even make the whole Ming Dynasty ascend. When that time comes, I will pass this technique on to you, and you will no longer need to worry about these things."

"In addition, if you want to cultivate quickly, the spiritual energy of this world is also fundamental. Only when there are more people cultivating can the spiritual energy of this world recover more quickly, which is also a good thing for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang then realized, "Oh right, I still have my ancestor as my backer."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

What is he afraid of?

And so on, does that mean I can obtain a new method of cultivation?

The new cultivation technique will definitely allow me to surpass all living beings in this world. I feel like I've made a lot of money this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately began to speak.

"Alright, Ancestor, I'll pass on this technique another day."

The princes were all excited when they heard the words "the whole country ascends to heaven".

Ascend!

That's the path to immortality!

Just then, several more people walked in from outside. Some were burly, others were frail, but the aura emanating from each of them indicated that they were no ordinary people.

Two burly men, seeing Lin Chen sitting on the throne, were about to speak when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes all wearing excited smiles.

The burly man at the head immediately spoke in a low voice.

"Don't say anything out of line!"

The group behind them seemed to have noticed something amiss, but none of them said anything.

Among the crowd, a man looked at Lin Chen, his eyes darting around for a moment, then he seemed to be thinking about something. Suddenly, his face turned pale, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. Instantly, his appearance became emaciated, and his hair turned white.

In an instant, a middle-aged man transformed into a frail old man, seemingly about to breathe his last.

Seeing his condition, the people nearby rushed forward to help him up, asking him questions as they did so.

"Lord Chengyi, what's wrong with you?"

The man who had turned into an old man was none other than Liu Ji, courtesy name Bowen, the Earl of Chengyi of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Bowen waved his hand shakily, then collapsed to his knees.

"Liu Bowen has offended the immortal; please forgive him!"

For a moment, everyone around was astonished.

Lin Chen glanced at the Earl of Chengyi from the Ming Dynasty with surprise, and then couldn't help but become curious.

But seeing that the other party seemed to be about to die, he could only wave his hand, and a stream of immortal power surged towards Liu Bowen.

After the immortal power surged into Liu Bowen's body, Liu Bowen's aged face began to recover, and his full head of white hair slowly returned to black.

His hunched figure straightened up again.

Liu Bowen lay on the ground, panting heavily, looking as if he had just survived a calamity.

The people around him looked surprised and frightened, and all their eyes were on Lin Chen.
