Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 402 The Temptation of Longevity

"Can I also cultivate immortality?"

"... You should understand that most of the so-called immortals in the world have accomplished first-class evil immortals and corpse-dissolving immortals. Even if they escape death, they will live in the pursuit of the envoys of the underworld for the rest of their lives. Unable to rest..."

"I heard that there are immortals in the Tang Dynasty, whose lifespan equals that of the heavens and the earth, and that they can ascend to the heavens. I don't know if there are such immortals in our country."

"As far as I know, there is no profound inheritance of immortality in China."

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan, very regretfully covered half of his face with his sleeve, covering up that almost uncontrollable smile.

In front of him, a middle-aged aristocratic man with lead powder smeared on his face, old and haggard, was dejected with regret.

It was this nobleman who, upon hearing of Huakaiyuan's erudite name, came to ask for advice on the method of longevity.

"but········"

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan deliberately elongated her tone.

The nobleman suddenly raised his head, and the expectation in his eyes was undisguised.

"I heard that the dog demon clan in the Western Kingdom seems to be related to some fairy monsters."

"Ah, the so-called immortals and monsters are monsters that obtain longevity through the essence of vegetation. This is the immortal way that originated in this country, and only monsters can master it."

"It is said that although these immortals and monsters cannot achieve the same longevity as the heavens and the earth and ascend to the heavens, they can also prolong their lives several times. Even ordinary people can easily obtain hundreds of years of lifespan... "And you don't need to face all kinds of weird taboos, it can be said to be a pretty good longevity technique..."

"It's just not so easy to get the news from the monster and then obtain the art of becoming a fairy."

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan is teasing the greed in this man's heart step by step.

Yes, he wants to borrow the power of these nobles to obtain the technique of longevity!
The fairy arts here in the island country are of course different from those there.

There are redeeming qualities, however.

The celestial arts handed down from the Great Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth combined with the native occultism, and the celestial beings born are no longer even sectarians, but can only be regarded as heretical.

First-class evil immortals, relying on devouring the lives of others to step into the inhuman realm, but not monsters... This kind of alternative longevity can only be classified as heresy.

As for immortals and monsters, this kind of information was mentioned in the records of the Huakaiyuan clan on Earth before this era.

Immortals and monsters who do not concentrate on cultivating demon power, but instead study the method of longevity, using the essence of plants and trees to prolong life.

A monster who has mastered various powerful fairy arts while gaining several times or even dozens of times the life span beyond the racial limit.

Of course, immortals and monsters are still monsters.

"Your Excellency Huakaiyuan, please tell me where I can find the secret method of immortality!"

After an inadvertent "speech", visitors like this came in an endless stream.

It may not be that no one can see through his true thoughts, but...

"The temptation of immortality, who can refuse?"

"In order to live forever, they can easily abandon their identities as human beings, and they have to live as monsters...then why would they give up the more important art of becoming immortals?"

Thinking of this, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan is pretending to be troubled, holding his posture a little bit, not letting people know the answer easily, but at the same time making people feel bored.

The communication between nobles is so full of various tedious and unnecessary links.

Besides... Onmyoji's words, they need to be verified after all, and they will not trust easily.

So, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan pointed out the whereabouts of a certain immortal for them.

It was a peach tree trying to become an immortal, but failed. The torso of the Peach Tree King is filled with the essence of plants and trees, which can be used to prolong life.

After paying a moderate price, the man whose face was covered with lead powder finally left with satisfaction...

He paid the price of borrowing several ancient books of the Tang Dynasty from his own collection... and got a positive answer.

In this era, every book is a treasure worthy of heirloom.

Even between master and apprentice, it is not easy to lend, and at most it is allowed to copy.

So this can be regarded as not a light price.

However, from a certain point of view, he did not suffer... After all, it was only a loan rather than a gift.

Onmyoji did not suffer either, he sold this answer to many people.

Just a piece of news, from the hands of more than a dozen little nobles, big and small, almost got the right to borrow nearly two hundred different books.

"Since I am the ancestor of the Huakaiyuan clan, I am naturally obliged to leave some treasures that can be passed down for future generations."

"One of the most precious treasures in the world is books. This is the crystallization of human civilization, and it is never out of date."

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan also had to marvel at the wonder of cause and effect at this time.

He traveled to the Huakaiyuan clan of later generations, but at this time he became the real ancestor of the Huakaiyuan clan.

Is this cause first, and then the effect of time travel?

Or did the fruit of time travel first lead to the birth of the Huakaiyuan clan?

It's hard to sort out, it's hard to understand, and this is the mystery, the various truths between heaven and earth that Onmyoji seeks.

Understanding it, mastering it, and using it is exactly the profound meaning of controlling the destiny and using it to overcome the sky with manpower.

"Since it is because of me that the flowers are blooming and the hospital is blooming, then I have this responsibility, this obligation, to let it last as long as possible."

"First, I'm going to build a big library, and then, fill it up!"

In the next half month, the noble children who verified the news one after another did not break their promises on such a small matter, and lent out all the books they had promised.

The small nobles in the district can only have some books on poetry and miscellaneous notes, which are used to pass the time, increase knowledge, and serve as conversation materials when the nobles communicate with each other, which is not enough to catch the eye.

"These, after transcribing, receive them together and put them on this floor, and I will classify them later."

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan just waved dozens of talisman papers, attracting invisible shikigami to copy these books according to his wishes.

Dozens of sheets of snow-white rice paper were spread on the clean floor, and dozens of floating brushes were writing rapidly.

The opened paper door is facing the garden full of cherry blossoms. The drunken onmyoji, with his bathrobe slightly open, is lying on his side on the floor, holding a wine bowl in his right hand, and is slowly pouring sake into his mouth... ···What an elegant onmyoji, even at this moment, still gives people a sense of freehand and romantic.

The sun shone on his face, he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, and lay down with his clothes on.
