After all, Old Man Wang wasn't practicing any health-preserving techniques, and he was indeed quite old.
People with superhuman abilities have the same lifespan as ordinary people.
Unless one cultivates a divine skill like the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, or possesses an extremely high level of life cultivation like Zhang Zhiwei, it is impossible to break through the limits of human lifespan.
"Cough cough!"
Wang Yaozu lay coughing in his hospital bed, knowing he was getting old.
This must be fate.
Fortunately, I found a good successor.
Although this kid seems a bit unreliable, he's still a man of his word.
"Old Wang!"
Chai Shao, who was standing to the side, also sighed slightly.
After all, the group of them often hung out together, and seeing that Old Man Wang was about to die, he was also a little sad.
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable. Even though we are extraordinary beings, we cannot escape the cycle of life and death."
The evil immortal waved the whisk in his hand.
As a sorcerer, he also knew the will of Heaven, and that achieving immortality was almost impossible.
"Yes, that's fate."
Yuan Jingui also said with a smile.
"It's alright. I've lived long enough. You said you've taken on a disciple? Is that true?"
Ghost Hand King couldn't help but ask.
"It's true. Although this kid's talent is a bit lacking, he's still quite smart. He shouldn't disgrace your 'Reversing the Eight Directions' technique."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly.
Zhao Fangxu is, after all, the future leader of Na Du Tong, so it's only natural that he would inherit the power to reverse the eight directions.
"That's good. Bring it over next time so I can see it!"
Ghost Hand King coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He probably only has about six months left to live.
"no problem."
Chen Yuan nodded as well.
This is not difficult.
"Young man, I'd like to hear you call me Master, is that alright?"
Ghost Hand King suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Chen Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this.
Although the two had long been master and disciple, they had never addressed each other as such.
For a moment, he felt a little embarrassed by the sentimentality.
But seeing the old man's dying state, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
"Boy, I just want to hear one thing from you before I die."
Ghost Hand King also said.
He really wanted to hear that.
"Old Wang, what you're saying..."
Chen Yuan scratched his head.
I'm a little embarrassed.
After all, he was used to calling him Old Wang, and sometimes he even called this guy Old Man Wang.
But with his life nearing its end, it wouldn't hurt to say something, would it?
Deep within the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, spiritual energy abounds, and the plants and trees exude vital energy.
On the flat ground in the valley, a strangely shaped furnace stood quietly. Unlike ordinary alchemy furnaces that were simple and heavy, its body was covered with intricate and interwoven patterns, with flesh and metal textures blending together, exuding an inconceivable aura of creation.
Feng Ping scratched his head, stopped in front of the furnace, his gaze fixed on the furnace body, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Ma, your furnace... is truly extraordinary! I've never seen anything like it before!"
"This is the prototype of the self-cultivation furnace that I personally crafted based on Brother Chen's idea."
Ma Ben's puppet-like face remained expressionless.
But his heart was completely different; he was filled with excitement.
"The furnace core is infused with the living flesh and blood embryo that Yingzi condensed with her dual-wielding skills. It has its own life cycle of cultivating both life and body. It also incorporates the principles of heaven and earth formation of Daoist Zhou Sheng's Feng Hou Qi Men. The entire mechanism is unified by divine refining. The power of the three paths and eight wonders is fused together, and it is only then that it is barely formed."
Maben continued.
This furnace seems far removed from Chen Yuan's vision of a time machine, with completely different functional focuses, yet it is an essential path to the ultimate creation.
He was very clear about this.
And although this thing isn't a time machine, it's still a good thing.
It is capable of mass-producing magical artifacts.
It is important to know that from ancient times to the present, magical artifacts have required artisans to spend years or even decades crafting them. They are costly in terms of materials and time and cannot be replicated. However, this Body Cultivation Furnace can be used like a mold to mass-produce standardized magical artifacts, completely overturning the world's art refining pattern.
"This thing will definitely shake up the entire world of supernatural beings."
Duanmu Ying was also muttering to herself.
She also knew that they had created something truly remarkable.
"Mass production of magical artifacts is no longer just a simple crafting technique. If many sects knew about it, they would probably be scrambling to get their hands on it."
Gao Gen also frowned.
No wonder they say the Eight Extraordinary Skills are techniques for creating chaos; these things are too dangerous.
"If the four major families find out, they will definitely fight over it, especially the Wang family. Among the four major families, the Wang family has the smallest vision and the most selfishness. In order to monopolize the opportunity, they will stop at nothing. Their character and temperament have always been the worst. They will never let go of such a heaven-defying artifact."
Gu Qiting echoed this sentiment.
"However, this thing is completely different from a time machine."
Liu Deshui couldn't help but say.
"In Brother Chen's deduction, the time machine is essentially a supreme artifact that touches upon the laws of space and time. Its process is complex and its laws are profound, far surpassing ordinary creations."
Therefore, I created the Body Refinement Furnace first to pave the way for the time machine. The Body Refinement Furnace is a perfect mold for creation, capable of stably refining and integrating various rare objects and magical powers, helping us to mass-produce matching law components. With it as a foundation, the subsequent fusion of the other eight extraordinary techniques and the accumulation of spacetime principles will make the creation of the time machine a reality.
Ma Ben was speaking eloquently.
"really."
Zheng Zibu nodded as well.
That makes sense.
"It seems that's really the case. According to Brother Chen, the cultivation furnace created by Brother Ma's future grandson, which combines the Wuhou Qimen, the Shenji Bailian and the incomplete Shuangquan Hand, is enough to mass-produce extraordinary people, forcing that Nadutong Company to send people to take action."
The prototype created by Brother Ma himself is based on the three complete Eight Extraordinary Techniques. Its foundation, scope, and potential far surpass later versions. The two are not even on the same level.
"The Qimen Dunjia formation determines the layout of heaven and earth; the Shuangquan technique secures life and vitality; the divine mechanism, refined a hundred times, governs the creation of all things."
Feng Tianyang also started muttering.
Chapter 655 Traveling to the Future! (Two Chapters Combined)
at this time.
"Master!"
Chen Yuan called out.
"Kid, I guess my life has been worthwhile!"
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Wang Yaozu couldn't help but speak up as well. However, due to his intense emotions, he coughed violently twice.
Even a strange person is still human. When his life is nearing its end, he knows that his time is up.
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the cycles of nature. Even extraordinary people like us cannot escape the shackles of fate. Immortality is nothing but a mirage."
Yuan Jingui stood in the corner, a friendly smile on his face, but a hint of regret in his eyes: "That's true, but in the end, I can't bear to part with Old Man Wang."
"It's alright, I've lived this long and have had enough."
Ghost Hand King grinned.
He had long since seen through life and death. After all, wasn't the reason he joined Quanxing in the first place because it was a place where he could live a carefree life?
"Old Wang!"
She Yingying also sighed slightly.
"If this kid ever gets into trouble in the future, remember to lend a hand. Of course, given his cultivation level, you probably won't be able to help him much in the future."
Ghost Hand King continued.
“Old Wang, your martial uncle will surely carry forward your ‘Reversing the Eight Directions’ technique in the future.”
Chang Si, who was standing to the side, was also muttering something.
Who would have thought that Ghost Hand King would die like this?
He didn't die at the hands of his enemies, but from illness.
But that's normal. Old Deng was basically a petty thief, so he didn't have any enemies coming to his door for revenge. Dying of old age and illness was actually in line with his fate.
"Old Wang!"
Chen Yuan was also filled with emotion.
Old Deng treated him well and wasn't considered a bad person among the Quanxing.
