The Legend of Hoe Immortal

Chapter 5 5. Old man apples, eat to rejuvenate

The old man didn't usually look in the mirror, so naturally he didn't notice any changes in his appearance, and his strength gradually increased, so he didn't notice it either.

When a group of people surrounded him, they asked in front of his face:
"Old man, what kind of elixir did you take? How did you become younger?"

"Don't you know that your strength has become stronger? It's scary to be able to grab a basket of apples with one hand, don't you know that?"

Only then did the old man come to his senses, and he cried out in his heart: elixir!It was the elixir that reacted.

The old fairy really didn't lie to me!

So, the old man rushed out of the crowd, ran back home, took out a broken bronze mirror from the drawer, looked at his face carefully.

He found that the old orange peel on his face had indeed changed. It used to be pitted and wrinkled orange peel, but now it was orange peel that had just darkened.

If the old man a month ago, 28 years old looks like 58 years old.

So now he, 28 years old looks like 50 years old.

In fact, the old man didn't pay much attention to his appearance. The key is that this change made him confirm that the elixir was really effective. The old fairy didn't lie to him. This is the most important thing.

It was confirmed that the elixir was effective, which made the old man extremely excited.

Thinking that a month has passed, he can take the second elixir again.

So he took out the pill bottle, ready to take the second pill, but suddenly stopped.

Then another thought popped into his mind.

Do you want to share these two elixir with Yuniang and Huzi?

Wouldn't it be too selfish to eat all three pills by yourself?

The three of them each ate one pill and changed their physiques at the same time, wouldn't they be able to cultivate immortals at the same time?

As soon as this idea came up, he stopped taking the pill, and put the pill bottle into his arms again.

He needs to think clearly, otherwise after he eats the elixir, Yuniang and Huzi will have no chance this time.

The old man didn't go out again, he just stayed at home and thought about it, weighing various pros and cons. If he could take Yuniang and Huzi to cultivate immortals together, he would not be stingy with these two elixir.

But he remembered the horrible situation when he ate the first elixir, and he was really afraid that they would have an accident after eating it. He also thought that the old fairy didn't know the existence of Yuniang and Huzi, so why did he give him three elixir to explain this? Three pills are given to one person to achieve the desired effect.

If it is divided into three people and no one can achieve the desired effect, then he may lose the chance to stay in the sect. If he loses the chance, Yu Niang and Hu Zi naturally lose the chance.

Thinking of this, he decided to follow the original plan and first ensure his own chance of success.

After he thought it over clearly, the sun was almost setting, so he took out the pill bottle, and then thought, why don't we use it at night, if the situation like last time happened again, it would definitely be bad if someone found out, so just Suspended again.

Then he thought again, everyone said that my strength had increased, but I didn't pay attention, why don't I find something to try.

So he ran to the yard, looked around, stared at the cart, then held the bottom of the cart with one hand, and actually lifted the entire cart.

"This... is too amazing!" He secretly cried in his heart.

In the evening, the old man had dinner and went out to inspect the village.

After seeing that the villagers had also gone home, he also returned home, locked the yard, bolted the door, and closed the windows. Only then did he take the second slough pill, and then consciously lay down on the bed, waiting for the situation to come.

Sure enough, the stomach was hot first, and then the hot air flowed to the whole body, and then the whole body was hot and sweating, and then passed out again, but this time the old man didn't feel scared.

Early the next morning, the old man woke up, and the sheets were still wet. The old man was still drenched and smelly. He didn't feel panic anymore. He took a bath, changed clothes and sheets, and went out to work.

In the second month, the old man was still working as usual, picking apples for those who should pick apples, and watching Yuniang for those who should.It was only this month that the villagers were blown away because the old man became young again.

If the man who was 28 years old two months ago looked like 58 years old.

So now, a 28-year-old man who looks like he's 40, with a face that looks like a freshly dried orange peel.

But this time, the villagers didn't realize that the old man's strength continued to grow. It wasn't that he didn't have nothing, but the old man deliberately concealed his strength.

The news that the old man became younger has spread from Niushan Village to Niujiao Village.

The villagers really didn't let the old man go this time, and kept secrets around him all day long, because it was too hard to start a mountain and farm, and the villagers looked older to some extent, and they all longed to become young.

"Old man, take pity on us, you can't just become handsome, and all the men in the village are still old orange peels!"

The old man was very helpless, but he didn't dare to reveal the secret of the immortal and the elixir, so he had to say:
"I don't know. I just eat the apples I grow. Sometimes I just eat apples without eating. My apple trees are all planted on the mountainside. They are the tallest in the village. The apples are red, sweet and crisp. , or you will pay for it.”

So the whole village went to the old man's house to eat apples.

The final conclusion is that the old man's apple tree is indeed the tallest, and the apples are indeed the sweetest and crispest, which may really have the effect of beauty.

Later, the old man became younger and the old man's apples have the effect of beautifying the skin, which spread in the ten miles and eight villages at the foot of the rhinoceros mountain.

Seeing the business opportunities, the fruit vendors flocked to the old man's house one after another.

Some traders who had known the old man were even more shocked when they saw the old man. He was really getting younger every month. The old man’s apple definitely had higher business opportunities and value.

In this way, the price of apples from the old man's family doubled during the looting by the vendors, and the supply was in short supply despite the busy picking every day.

Hearing about this, Yu Niang and Xiaohu were curious and went to visit the orchard, but they were dragged by the old man to help. There was no other way. If you have money, you are busy. The future proprietress!
The old man has earned more than thirty taels of silver this month, which can be said to be the most money he has ever counted in his life. He is full of excitement, and the day when he will marry his wife is not far away.

However, the traders made more money. They spontaneously created a brand called "Old Man's Apple", using the story of "Old Man's Apple, Eating and Rejuvenating" as a gimmick, and sold it together with apples.

The third month came, the old man took the third elixir, the condition should be the same after taking the medicine, and the old man became younger again.

If we say that the old man three months ago was 28 years old and looked like 58 years old.

So now the old man, 28 years old looks like 35 years old.

Now all the pots in Shiliba Village exploded, and the news of the old man's rejuvenation spread from Shiliba Village to Qingshui Town. Naturally, the old man's apples were not enough to sell.

Strangely, the focus of attention of the villagers of Niushan Village this time is not that the orange peel on the old man's face has changed again.

Instead, the villagers desperately delivered apples to the old man's house, and said to the old man in unison: "We will sell the apples, and you will get [-]% of the selling price."

In this way, the old man's apples were sold out, and the apples of the villagers in the whole village were also sold out. Everyone in the village was happy!

It is said that the contribution of the village head is not small. For the benefit of the whole village and the next year, the village head cooperated with the vendors to do a tour in Qingshui Town, telling the story of the old man who ate an apple and turned back to a child. The ups and downs are vivid.

At the same time, he also gave warm reminders wherever he went:

The old man is an old man from Niushan Village, and the old man's apples will only be the old man's apples from Niushan Village, so people must look for genuine products and beware of counterfeit ones.

The village head is really wise, the old man's apples are easy to sell, and the counterfeit ones will naturally flock to him.

Therefore, the "Old Man Apple" brand was officially renamed "Old Man Apple in Niushan Village".

The apple picking season is over. If you haven’t eaten apples from the old man in Niushan Village this year, please don’t worry. There will be more next year. Please remember to book early, as the village chief said.

The old man suddenly made 80 taels of silver this month, and it felt like a dream, and the starting point of this dream was still caused by the immortal. At this point, the old man no longer had any doubts about the immortal, and he was full of gratitude from head to toe.

That night, the old man was at home, sitting on the bed and counting the silver. As he counted, his eyes watered. He put his hands together and bowed to the sky to show his gratitude and respect to the immortal, because his original dream seemed to have come true.

Cooperating with last month's money, he has earned enough 100 taels of silver to marry Widow Chen. He originally thought he would need two years to fight, but he didn't expect everything to change after saving the immortal. It only took three months That's all.

The old man put away the silver and began to lie on the bed, dreaming about marrying Widow Chen, and softly calling "Yu Niang, Yu Niang", just thinking about it and he fell into a dream.

In the dream, the immortal came and wanted to pick him up to cultivate immortality. Yuniang and Huzi slapped him on his thigh, unwilling to let him leave, and Yuniang cried to death.

Just like that, in the middle of the night, he was woken up by Yuniang's cries, broke out in a cold sweat, and had no sleepiness at all.

The old man fell into thinking, after marrying Yu Niang, would Yu Niang not want him to cultivate immortals like in a dream?

His purpose is to be with her longer, will she not understand?

Perhaps Yuniang should be told the truth and let her choose.

The old man kept thinking about Tianliang, and decided to tell Yuniang the truth.

If Yuniang chooses to support him, he will marry Yuniang and then go to cultivate immortality.

If Yuniang doesn't support her, he will leave all his property and orchard to Yuniang, don't marry her, and then go to cultivate immortality.

Anyway, he made up his mind to go to cultivate immortality, this is his only chance in ten reincarnations, he doesn't want to give up, he can only do his best to make up for Yuniang.

Early in the morning, the old man went to Niujiao Village to look for Yuniang. He didn't know how Yuniang would choose if she found out, so he was worried.

Yu Niang also got up early in the morning to work, and was surprised to see the old man coming from a distance.

"Yu Niang, I have something important to discuss with you," the old man said nervously.

Seeing that the old man was so solemn, Yu Niang put down her work.

Yu Niang invited the old man into the house, poured tea, and said, "Speak slowly."

So, the old man trembled and said first that he had finally saved enough money to marry Yuniang.

After hearing this, Yu Niang was very happy.
