Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Spring in the 31st year of Jingzheng.

Great Yan Kingdom.

Imperial Capital.

Under the low and dilapidated eaves, Chu Chen sat on a small stool, closed his eyes and meditated.

At this moment, there were two pieces of news in front of him.

One bad news, one good news.

The bad news was that he could still enjoy the air conditioning, drink iced cola, and brush the little sister a day ago, but when he woke up, he found himself reborn in another world.

No fine clothes and food, no crowds, only a small pawnshop.

The predecessor lost his mother when he was young. A few months ago, his father's old illness relapsed and he also died with his mother, leaving him alone, relying on this pawnshop to barely make ends meet.

The good news is that Chu Chen obtained the fruit of immortality, with unlimited lifespan and eternal youth.

"Om~"

In his mind, a golden elixir with no impurities, like the immortal fairy gold, was hanging high like the sun and the moon, exuding an ancient and vast atmosphere.

Immortal, indestructible, eternal!

Through the surface of the golden pill, you can vaguely see the various strange phenomena contained in it.

The world rotates, yin and yang alternate, countless worlds are destroyed and reborn, and so on.

When he first got the Longevity Dao Fruit, Chu Chen was excited and put his consciousness into his mind from time to time.

Watch and study.

Half an hour later, it became boring.

The Longevity Dao Fruit contains countless truths of heaven and earth, but for Chu Chen, it can only be viewed from a distance and not be played with.

Because Chu Chen has no cultivation, watching the many strange phenomena in the Longevity Dao Fruit is not much different from watching a movie with dazzling special effects.

Watch too much, you will get tired.

"The Longevity Dao Fruit can only make me immortal, but it can't make me immortal. I may still be injured, poisoned, or killed."

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes and supported his chin with both hands.

The Great Yan Kingdom is not a stable place. There are countless warriors here, fighting all the time.

Although I have never heard of a powerful being in the Great Yan Kingdom who can move mountains and seas and destroy the sky with a wave of his hand, there are still martial arts masters who can break monuments and split stones and fight against thousands of people.

These people can easily crush Chu Chen to death.

Of course.

Compared with these martial arts masters, Chu Chen has the advantage of unlimited lifespan.

According to Chu Chen's understanding, the longest-lived warrior in the history of the Great Yan Kingdom only lived for two hundred years.

Two hundred years, for Chu Chen now, is just a blink of an eye.

As long as Chu Chen is willing, he can go to the grave of the strongest warrior in the Great Yan Kingdom to dance and destroy the tributes on the grave.

"We are not people who fight for violence. The way of survival is the way we should follow!"

Chu Chen made up his mind to stay and grow quietly. He would never go out to play before he had enough strength.

As he possessed the fruit of immortality, he did not need to be competitive. As long as he practiced steadily, he would become an immortal or a Buddha after living for hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

Moreover.

For every hundred years he lived, he could get a reward from the fruit of immortality.

It could be a method of practice, a magic weapon, or a pill, etc.

The longer he lived, the more rewards he could get.

"So, this small pawnshop should be the safest place at this stage?"

Chu Chen thought in his heart, considering the future path.

The Great Yan Kingdom has been established for more than 600 years, and the imperial capital has never been breached by anyone. It can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if there are rebels who break through the imperial capital, there will be no big problem.

First, if the rebels break through the imperial capital, their target will definitely be the imperial palace, or the northern part of the imperial capital, where the dignitaries live.

Furthermore, the pawnshop is located in Changlefang in the east of the imperial capital, only half a block away from the imperial army camp outside the east gate of the imperial capital. It can enjoy the protection of the imperial army camp and can escape from the city at any time.

"Forget it, let's stay here for now."

Chu Chen sighed and set a small goal.

First, stay in this pawnshop for a hundred years and get the first reward of the immortal fruit.

Just then.

"Little shopkeeper, are you there?"

The door of the pawnshop was knocked.

"Hello, little shopkeeper."

When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, bowing.

"Lord Lu?"

Chu Chen's expression moved, and he recalled the identity of the middle-aged man.

A poor scholar who failed in the exams many times.

He was a famous prodigy in the surrounding area. After passing the imperial examination at the age of 29, he came to the imperial capital to participate in the imperial examination held every three years.

Unfortunately, he failed in the imperial examinations three times in a row.

"I am not worthy of the title of young shopkeeper. I have not passed the imperial examination yet and have no official title. When I pass the imperial examination in the future, you can call me young shopkeeper."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lu Qinghou's face, and he said seriously.

"With your talent, you will definitely be on the list of candidates in this imperial examination, and you may even be the first place in the imperial examination."

Chu Chen smiled and did not look down on Lu Qinghou.

"Thank you, young shopkeeper."

Hearing Chu Chen's words, Lu Qinghou forced a smile.

Failure to pass the imperial examination three times in a row filled his ears with mocking and ridiculing remarks.

There are very few people who comfort him like Chu Chen.

"Mr. Lu, what are you doing in our store?"

Chu Chen glanced at Lu Qinghou's tightly clenched right hand, and guessed in his heart.

"I am not well off recently, so I want to pawn this jade pendant."

Lu Qinghou smiled awkwardly, spread out his right hand, revealing a green jade pendant, and handed it to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen wrapped the jade pendant with cotton cloth and examined it carefully.

The jade pendant is not big, but of excellent quality. It is engraved with some simple patterns, and there is a plum blossom in the middle, which is lifelike.

"Superior Qingtian jade, exquisite workmanship, Mr. Lu are sure you want to pawn this jade pendant?"

Chu Chen took a quick look and looked at Lu Qinghou.

It is obvious.

This is Lu Qinghou's favorite thing, and he often sees Lu Qinghou wearing it on weekdays.

"Little shopkeeper, name a price."

Lu Qinghou was a little reluctant, gritted his teeth, and then made up his mind.

"Five taels of silver, three months in payment, the ransom is six taels of silver, Mr. Lu is willing?"

While speaking, Chu Chen took out five taels of silver and the pawn ticket and put them in front of Lu Qinghou.

"Thank you, little shopkeeper."

Hearing this, Lu Qinghou's face was full of joy, and the price Chu Chen offered was very generous.

Before coming to Chu Chen, he had run to several pawnshops, and the highest price offered was only three taels of silver, and the ransom was as high as seven or eight taels of silver for a month in payment.

Lv Qinghou signed the pawn ticket in duplicate, one for him and one for Chu Chen.

If Lv Qinghou could not return the five taels of silver after three months, the green jade pendant would belong to Chu Chen.

"Zi once said that good people are also good to others. If I can pass the imperial examination in two months, I will definitely come to thank the young shopkeeper."

After that, Lv Qinghou took the silver and left happily. It was unknown whether he was going to have a good time or to buy books in order to pass the imperial examination in two months.

"Boy, you lost money on this deal!"

At this time, another hoarse voice sounded at the door of the pawnshop.

A tall, thin, white-haired old man with a mustache and a treacherous look walked into the pawnshop.

This person was the owner of the Yulou Pharmacy next to the pawnshop, Old Man Shen, who had a good relationship with the deceased Chu's father.

After the predecessor took over the pawnshop, Shen Lang took good care of the predecessor and helped a lot.
