Yuan Gu had made investments before and gave Zhang Xuezhou a treasure.

Zhang Xuezhou hasn't used this treasure yet, but it has been used by Yao Yuanguang.

He didn't feel any effect, but according to Rong Tianding, Zhang Xuezhou's spirit returned in the short time Yao Yuanguang used the magic weapon.

Accordingly, Zhang Xuezhou was extremely curious about Yuan Gu's treasures.

If it has a relatively good effect on him, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he can exchange it for the longevity elixir.

After all, for people like Zhang Xuezhou, no matter how much he extends his life, it will not be worth his own risks, and he is not at the age where he wants to pursue longevity.

"This is the treasure I treasure!"

Following Yuan Gu, when he entered the main hall of Yuan Gu's mansion, Yuan Gu asked someone to carefully pick off a cloth painting hanging in the main hall.

"You are worshiping Saint Kong, right?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice, "Wouldn't I be beaten to death by you Confucians if I take this kind of treasure?"

"You have a portrait of a saint, I also have a portrait of a saint, and everyone else also has a portrait of a saint. Why did I hit you?" Yuan Gu said with a smile.

He waved his hand to the servant to bring the painting, and then asked the servant to go to the wooden box next to him to find a scroll of pictures of saints and hang them up.

Zhang Xuezhou saw that the two pictures of saints were exactly the same, and he could not tell the difference at all with his naked eyes.

"Your treasure looks like a lot?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.

"No." Yuan Gu shook his head and said, "There is only one genuine product."

Yuan Gu whispered next to Zhang Xuezhou, which made Zhang Xuezhou thoughtful.

The competition within the Confucian sect was fierce, and Yuan Gu, as a guilty person who cherished the jade, could not keep the treasure, so he simply created a batch of pictures of Confucius to confuse it.

It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of these portraits of Saint Kong, and they have been collected by many people.

It would not be surprising if Zhang Xuezhou collected one.

To truly use the power of this painting treasure, you need a spell, which is difficult to use like the previous bamboo slip magic weapon by untying it.

"I remember you said that a gem can stabilize the soul and avoid disasters," Zhang Xuezhou said in a low voice.

"The gem is in this scroll," Yuan Gu whispered, "It is precisely because of this piece of spiritual jade that turns mortal matter into stone that this painting treasure has magical powers!"

The image of Saint Kong in the painting is not the focus, nor is the length and width of the painting. The real focus is the mystery hidden in the scroll.

As long as it is combined with the spiritual jade that turns mortal matter into stone, this painting treasure can exert its effect of stabilizing the soul.

"Whenever there is a curse caster that harms your soul, you can use this painting to fight against the enemy, and you can backfire on the opponent when you display the painting." Yuan Gu said: "This is the relic of Confucius. Its great power is still the same as that of many good people in the world today." Not as good as those who cast evil spells, it can even compete with the evil spells cast by monks in the True Self Realm!"

Yuan Gu has never fought against a curse master in the True Self Realm, but when he was 60 years old, he used this painting to deal with the curse of a monk in the Only Self Realm.

"It turns out to be so mysterious," Zhang Xuezhou said thoughtfully.

The stabilizing soul Yuan Gu mentioned was a little different from what he thought, but it was indeed a rare thing.

If he had already had this scroll, there would be no need to fear the influence of Hongku's spell.

It's just that the person who controls his soul belongs to the extraterrestrial demon, and its specialness cannot be dealt with by this scroll.

But as long as the painting has real effects, it is not a loss to exchange the longevity elixir for this painting.

"If you are satisfied, I wonder if you can guide this old man to a destiny of immortality," Yuan Gu said with hot eyes.

Yuan Gu would not be nice to people for no reason. If he had not been embarrassed by going to Chang'an City, as a top local scholar, he would be the top authority in Qi, enjoying the respect and awe of many people.

The reason why a person who is so high above him has a flattering look on his face is that it is difficult for him to look down on life, old age, illness and death, and he is willing to lower his head.

Asking for a life-extending fairy fate is enough for him to give up his dignity and even the inherited treasure he protects.

This change of mentality is very similar to Yao Yuanguang's, and also similar to the attitudes of many big guys in Xijing City.

The closer we get to the end of our lifespan, the more we fear death.

He even learned about his remaining lifespan from Yao Yuanguang. Yuan Gu seemed to be chatting and laughing with many Confucian scholars every day, but his inner torment was devouring his soul all the time, and his fear of death became more and more apparent.

If Zhang Xuezhou arrived two or three months later, Yuan Gu would feel that he was unspeakably rude due to his old age.

"No wonder Yao Yuanguang and Yuan Gu both said there was a problem in the court!" Under the pressure of the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, Yao Yuanguang was still able to step into the magical realm. He is undoubtedly a person with an extremely tenacious temperament.

As a pioneering and enterprising master of Confucianism, Yuan Gu is also not exempt from vulgarity.

This is not to mention anyone else.

Even the many high-ranking officials in Chang'an City's court must be like this.

This is also the reason why Yao Yuanguang warned Zhang Xuezhou that whenever there is a need, these people are likely to use any means to achieve their goals.

One moment I am smiling with you, and the next moment I may be reading a book in front of the emperor.

This is not a question of character, but a question of human nature.

Zhang Xuezhou was thoughtful and couldn't help asking questions about Tengyun Technique first.

"I entered the Immortal Court and acquired a technique. Old Master, please listen to my technique first." Zhang Xuezhou said: "I also want to ask Old Master to clear up my doubts. This may allow us to have a destiny together!"

"Surgery?"

Yuan Gu's eyes widened slightly, with a little disappointment on his face.

But he managed to calm down and listened to what Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Immortals can indeed fly through the clouds and mist!"

Yuan Gu could not hear more than a few words of Shu, but Yuan Gu already understood what Zhang Xuezhou was talking about.

This made him more interested.

If you can fly and seek immortality, this is indeed an opportunity, but for an old man like him, it is a bit difficult to fly safely.

This is an immortal technique, but it is not an immortal technique suitable for Yuan Gu.

He patiently explained the Soaring Cloud Technique in the lobby, and the translated content was slightly different from Li Shaojun's.

However, after only half a quarter of an hour of translation, Yuan Gu was exhausted and began to utter nonsense.

This forced Zhang Xuezhou to temporarily suspend the translation and comparison of Tengyun Shu.

"Old Master, please rest first. We won't take this painting today. We will discuss it tomorrow," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"If the Eastern monks have the immortal destiny to extend their lives, I would like to take the spiritual incense and explain this technique to the Eastern monks." Yuan Gu said: "This is a Taoist technique, and it is mixed with the ancient Qi and Chu language. It requires me to gather all my concentration to make it possible." Read it completely!”

"I see!"

"I will probably run out of energy to translate this technique, and I will have to lie in bed and wait for the day I die. If there is no medicine to extend my life, it will be difficult to do this," Yuan Gu said.

"That Fang Hua Bao is not of much use to me. If the old master can completely translate this technique, especially the part involving the supernatural realm, it doesn't matter if I give you a golden elixir," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"Is there really a golden elixir?" Yuan Gu said with great joy.

"I can only guarantee that the golden elixir was taken from Yao Yuanguang, but I cannot guarantee that the golden elixir will definitely prolong your life." Zhang Xuezhou said: "It is up to you to decide whether to exchange it or not!"

"Didn't Senior Yao say..." Rong Tianding said urgently in a low voice.

"I originally thought so, until I saw these paintings by Old Master!"

Whether it extends life is difficult to test. No one can say clearly whether swallowing the golden elixir can extend life by 30 years, at least for young people like Zhang Xuezhou.

If he and Yao Yuanguang released the physiognomy technique and caused premature aging, they would have to take the life-extending elixir to alleviate aging, or the life-extension elixir was given by Jinxia Yuanjun, which Zhang Xuezhou felt was more reliable.

But it was a gift from Yao Yuanguang, and the mystery behind it is hard to explain. After all, the other party used many methods to achieve longevity, so it would be very difficult to give away a life-extending elixir.

Since Yuan Gu tried his best, Zhang Xuezhou did not deceive the other party and explained all the details in advance.

"This is the only way I have left!"

Maybe it will extend life, maybe it won't. Zhang Xuezhou can't tell whether the golden elixir has a real effect.

But Yuan Gu had no choice.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou had a fake pill in his hand, he would still take the gamble.
