We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?

"where?"

"With so many books, how could there not be a method suitable for Xiao Mo to prolong his life?"

"Where exactly is it?"

On this day, Bai Ruxue was much more anxious than usual.

She kept flipping through one book after another.

Finally, in the far corner of the third-floor bookshelf, she found a yellowed ancient book.

At first, Bai Ruxue didn't pay much attention to the book, just quickly flipping through it.

But when she saw a page, her eyes suddenly froze.

"Dragon Thunder Liquid is said to be obtained by the snake race when they transform into dragons and enter the sea through lightning tribulations. Cultivators who obtain it can purify their innate bones, while mortals who obtain it can prolong their lives."

Chapter 68 Do you know, of all the things in the vast ocean, I only want a drop in the ocean—you!

As Jiang Hualong was about to ascend to heaven, a lightning tribulation descended.

This tribulation is divided into nine levels based on the individual's talent, bloodline, and power.

The highest of the nine ranks is called Nine Dragons Mysterious Thunder.

If one can overcome this tribulation of profound lightning, one's foundation will become more solid, one's bloodline will become purer, and one's future transformation into a dragon will be more promising.

Legend has it that those who safely pass through the Nine Dragons Thunder will be showered with Dragon Thunder Liquid from the heavens.

This liquid is the condensation of the dragon race's fortune and the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

If a cultivator obtains it, it can cleanse their marrow and strengthen their bones, extending their lifespan by five hundred years.

If ordinary people drink it, it can prolong their lives and add fifty years to their lifespan.

As Bai Ruxue read this passage, her heart began to race.

"Dragon Thunder Liquid"

Bai Ruxue's gaze fell on these three words.

After memorizing the contents of the book, Bai Ruxue hurriedly went to visit Fuchen's mountain peak.

"Miss Bai."

At the summit of Luochen Peak, Li Sisi, who was practicing her sword, saw Bai Ruxue flying over, sheathed her peach wood sword, and bowed to Bai Ruxue.

"Greetings, Fairy Li." Bai Ruxue bowed slightly. "May I ask if Elder Fuchen is present?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Bai," Li Sisi shook her head, "My master is in seclusion and cannot receive you."

Bai Ruxue lowered her eyes, revealing a hint of disappointment.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the girl in front of her, even Li Sisi, a woman herself, couldn't help but feel a little moved.

“However, Master had already foreseen that Miss Bai would come today, and asked me to pass on a message to her,” Li Sisi said.

Bai Ruxue raised her head, her eyes brightening: "Please speak, Miss Sisi."

"My master asked me to tell Miss Bai that Dragon Thunder Liquid does exist, but because the dragon-related fortune of snakes in the world is scarce, countless snakes who try to transform into dragons in the rivers perish, let alone encounter the Nine Dragons Profound Thunder. Therefore, my master does not know how effective Dragon Thunder Liquid is."

"Thank you for conveying the message, Fairy. If Elder Fuchen emerges from seclusion, please help me convey my gratitude." Bai Ruxue bowed again.

"You're too kind, young lady." Li Sisi nodded.

"I have some things to attend to, so I won't disturb your cultivation any longer."

"Take care, Miss Bai."

Bai Ruxue turned and flew towards Shiqiao Village.

After Bai Ruxue left, Li Sisi turned around and walked into a cave.

On the stone bed in the cave, Fuchen was meditating.

She was not in seclusion; she was simply resting with her eyes closed.

"Master," Li Sisi bowed.

Fuchen slowly opened his eyes: "Miss Bai has left?"

Li Sisi: "Yes, Master."

"You should go and cultivate too," said the whisk, waving his hand.

"Master, there is something I don't understand. Please enlighten me," Li Sisi asked, puzzled.

"Go ahead."

"Master, what about Dragon Thunder Liquid? I've never heard of it before. Does such a thing really exist?"

"it is true."

Fuchen sighed.

"But it's fake too."

As soon as Bai Ruxue returned to Shiqiao Village, she saw Xiao Mo already sitting in the courtyard, smiling at her.

Bai Ruxue's cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled what she had said that morning.

But in the end, Bai Ruxue still went into the courtyard.

The woman walked up to Xiao Mo, her head lowered, her slender fingers constantly rubbing together, and a blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears, as if she wanted to say something to Xiao Mo.

But she seemed too embarrassed to speak.

Xiao Mo was not in a hurry. He continued to smile at the woman in front of him, waiting for her to speak first.

After all, Ru Xue and he had argued that morning, so it was normal for him to feel a little embarrassed.

After a long while, Bai Ruxue took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently. Mustering her courage, she raised her head and earnestly said to her beloved, "Xiao Mo! I...I've thought it through. I'm going to cross the river to undergo tribulation!"

Xiao Mo smiled, his tone slightly teasing: "You said this morning that you weren't going."

"I," Bai Ruxue turned her head, "I've changed my mind."

Why did you change your mind so quickly?

Bai Ruxue hooked her little hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the book says women are always fickle."

“But the book also says, ‘If something is decided in the morning but changes by evening, there must be a great reason for it.’” Xiao Mo looked at Bai Ruxue gently. “Let me think, is the reason you changed your mind because of me?”

The girl, whose thoughts had been exposed, trembled slightly and lowered her head again.

She is not good at lying.

Xiao Mo always managed to expose her lies.

Therefore, Bai Ruxue would remain silent whenever she encountered something she didn't want to admit.

Xiao Mo smiled inwardly.

Doesn't this silly girl know?

Does silence equate to acknowledgment?

"Like snow."

Xiao Mo sat on the stone bench, looking up at her peach blossom eyes, and said earnestly.

“These days, you and Xiaoqing have been deliberately avoiding mentioning my lifespan.”

I have always avoided talking about it.

All I want is to be able to walk this final path peacefully, and for you all to see me off with smiles on your faces.

With you by my side through these last year or two, my life is already complete.

"But Xiao Mo, I can't do it. I can't imagine the day you leave me." Bai Ruxue raised her head, her eyes red. "Xiao Mo, without you, I don't know what the meaning of life is!"

Bai Ruxue clenched her delicate little fist.

“These days, I often go to the library of Tianxuan Sect to browse through various books and look for ways to prolong life.”

However, some longevity-promoting substances are too potent, and your body cannot withstand them.

Some longevity-prolonging items are only useful to cultivators with spiritual roots.

Some things grow in barren lands, and it would take me several years just to get there.

But today, I've found it!

As long as I travel to Jianghualong and enter the sea, I will encounter a lightning tribulation. If I can trigger the Nine Dragons Profound Lightning Tribulation, dragon thunder liquid will descend!

Dragon Thunder Liquid has a mild medicinal effect; it is a product of nature.

Legend has it that after cultivators drink it, their physical constitution can be improved and their lifespan extended by five hundred years.

Even for ordinary people, drinking this can extend their lifespan by fifty years!

"And what about fifty years from now?" Xiao Mo asked Bai Ruxue. "What will you do then, Ruxue?"

"I will find other treasures that can prolong life, and I will definitely not let you die!" Bai Ruxue insisted.

"Ru Xue, it's no use. You don't need to lock yourself away because of me."

Xiao Mo shook his head.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

Indeed, over the years, I have served as the Prime Minister of the State of Qi.

Indeed, I have done some things, and I am fortunate to be remembered by the people and called a saint.

But I am ultimately just an ordinary person whose lifespan is no more than a hundred years.

You are different from Xiaoqing.

You have your own path to enlightenment; your lifespan is thousands, even tens of thousands of years.

Xiao Mo sighed: "Ru Xue, your life is like a vast ocean, and I am but a drop in the ocean."

"But it's Xiao Mo!"

Bai Ruxue looked directly into Xiao Mo's eyes.

"Do you know that out of the entire ocean, I only want this tiny drop of water from you!"

Chapter 69 Now, do we two count as growing old together?

Winter is gradually approaching.

Xiaoqing also knew that her older sister had decided to go to Jiang to try and get the Dragon Thunder Liquid for Brother Xiao.

Xiaoqing naturally supported her sister's decision.

Moreover, Xiaoqing must also be reluctant to see Brother Xiao leave like this.

Over time, Xiaoqing had come to regard Xiao Mo as family.

However, crossing the river is not an easy task.

If one is not careful, the consequences could very well be physical and spiritual decay, and the dissipation of one's soul.

Therefore, during this period, Bai Ruxue has been focusing on her cultivation, making various preparations for traveling to the river.

Xiao Mo would also give lessons to Bai Ruxue and Xiao Qing, explaining the dangers of this journey and the things they might encounter along the way.

This also includes how to deal with things like the "Dragon-Slaying Sword" and the "Dragon-Binding Lock".

It wasn't that Xiao Mo didn't want to remove things like the "Dragon-Slaying Sword".

It's not that Xiao Mo can't do it.

The "Dragon-Slaying Sword" and "Dragon-Binding Lock" were both established by the Qi State's Observatory of Astronomy, and ordinary people cannot remove them.

The Bureau of Astronomy was an independent bureaucratic institution of the State of Qi.

Although Xiao Mo was the prime minister, he had no way to command the Observatory.

Furthermore, if you want the Celestial Surveillance Bureau to remove the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Binding Lock, you must have a reason.

But what reason can we give?
