If their beauty faded away because of age, seeing how proud Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiao Yi were, how could they possibly remain unmoved when they saw Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan still youthful and good looking? Tragedy was practically ensured!
Although Jun Mo Xie could disregard that, the girls could not! But if they really left, how could Jun Mo Xie possibly accept that? But even if he couldn't accept it, he still wouldn't be able to stop them at that time!
Because…
Since ancient times, beauties and famous generals did not grow to let the world see their heads of white 1 ! This was the pride that all peerless beauties shared!
Once they lost this pride, it would mean that their hearts had died…
Especially when compared with their beloved who had everlasting youth…
If they waited until they'd cultivated to the Spirit Xuan level before eating the divine pills, improving their cultivation further, increasing their lifespan, and allowing them to preserve their looks using their cultivation… in that period in between, their beauty would have already faded away.
Because cultivation was not something that could be done so quickly!
Although Mei Xue Yan's words were difficult to hear, the time limit she had given just now was already the most conservative estimate. At least half a 60 years cycle… that meant 30 years! And this was with the assumption that Jun Mo Xie could provide the best and most valuable pills to help them.
The moment Mei Xue Yan brought this matter up, it had woken Jun Mo Xie up like a bucket of water over the head, bringing his attention to this pressing issue!
This wouldn't do and that was also impossible! What should he do then?
Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows tightly and stood up as he paced around the area with his hands behind his back, deep in thought… But no matter how he thought, he couldn't come up with anything feasible!
Unknowingly, his eyes swept across the Hongjun Pagoda. All of a sudden, an idea lit up in his mind.
Pill recipes! Right, the pill recipes! There were so many pill recipes in the Hongjun Pagoda, so surely there were some pills suitable for retaining a woman's beauty…
The novels he had read in his previous life often mentioned pills that didn't raise cultivation, recover essence Qi, or improve one's skills. They were seemingly worthless, beautification pills that could only maintain a person's looks. Wasn't this exactly what he needed the most right now? Back then, he had always wondered why such a seemingly worthless type of pill would be so sought after by millions of people in those novels, going as far as to obtain them with sky high prices…
So this was the reason!
Jun Mo Xie was like a drowning man who had suddenly grabbed onto a life-saving straw. Without any hesitation, he burst into action as he pored over the pill recipes in the Hongjun Pagoda. Ever since he had gotten this thing, this was the first time he had searched so seriously…
After an unknown amount of time, he finally dug out a suitable pill recipe. However, it was better if he hadn't found anything. Because the result of this search had caused his heart to sink to the deepest abyss. This bit of hope was the same as having no hope!
Extreme Yin Beauty Retaining Pill, no cultivation restriction. Consuming this pill will retain one's youth forever, remould their meridians, and construct a Pure Yin female body, granting immortality and immunity to the wheels of samsara! Refining requirements: Ninth level of the Hongjun Pagoda! Ingredients: Udumbara Grass, Ageless Root, Timeless Vine, Rootless Flower…
Restriction: Only suitable for consumption by females!
Ninth level of the Hongjun Pagoda!
How many difficulties had he gone through to just break through to the fifth level of the Hongjun Pagoda! From the looks of things now, each level of the Hongjun Pagoda was inestimably more difficult to break through than the last! The amount of time needed was far out of sight…
Apart from that, the ingredients required could not even be found in Tian Fa Forest, or even Nine Nether First Young Master's abode! But… the most crucial part was still—
Ninth level of the Hongjun Pagoda!
"This… aren't you toying with me? Is this still considered hope?" Jun Mo Xie scratched his head with frustration. "Ninth level! Even a God would not be able to cultivate to the ninth level within 10 years!!!"
Extreme Yin Beauty Retaining Pill, retaining one's youth forever, remoulding their meridians, and constructing a Pure Yin female body… Jun Mo Xie didn't even know what a Pure Yin body was. But based on the descriptions, this pill was definitely nothing ordinary! It was definitely not something that those cosmetic pills in the cultivation novels could compare to!
However, I rather have a good old regular cosmetic pill! Why must the same type of pill in the Hongjun Pagoda be such a high leveled one?!
Immortality, immunity to the wheels of samsara…
This meant that eating a single pill would allow one to become a deity!!
How could such a miraculous pill be easy to obtain?
In truth, this Extreme Yin Beauty Retaining Pill was second, only below the first placed Nine Revolutions Golden Pill on the list of pills!
Nine revolutions will of the gods; Nine revolutions creation; Nine revolutions nine heavens; Dancing lightly in the Moon Palaces!
Mei Xue Yan looked at Jun Mo Xie silently and after a long time, she finally sighed and wrote a few sentences in the sand. "If it cannot be done in 10 years, how about 500 years?"
"500 years? Xue Yan! Do you know of any other methods? You know another way, right?" Jun Mo Xie looked up with startlement and asked urgently.
"According to the knowledge passed down by the ancestors of Tian Fa, there's a Seven Colored Tree within the Misty Illusory Manor! The Seven Colored Tree produces a kind of seven colored fruit, called the Seven Colored Holy Fruit… And in the Heaven Saint Palace of the three Holy Lands, there's a Sacred Lotus Pond. Within it, there's a stalk of Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus… Consuming one Seven Colored Holy Fruit and the petal of the Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus together would increase a person's cultivation by 500 years and retain the appearance of the person for 500 years!"
Mei Xue Yan had obviously spent a lot of effort to write all this stuff down. She'd even stopped seven, eight times in between, as if she were unwilling to write it out. But in the end, she still finished it.
After she finished writing that, she hurriedly continued. "If not because you had that mysterious movement technique, I would definitely not have told you about this. But you need to know one thing: those two places are both extremely dangerous places. The risk of entering those places is even greater than our Tian Fa Ferocious Land! As for the tree and the lotus, they are the most precious treasures of those places!
"I really don't want you to go and risk yourself, but I can tell… the importance of them in your heart. Furthermore, there's also your mother, your Third Uncle, and the rest… If we don't do anything about it, in the future, you will face many heartbreaks and farewells with friends and family… A long life will in the end turn into endless pain and regrets… Even if you have a heart of stone, I'm afraid you won't be able to endure the feeling of having to watch powerlessly while people around you die… Sooner or later, your body and mind would not be able to take it… I don't wish to ever see that day…
"But I also don't want you to risk yourself… So, please promise me that unless you have full confidence, do not attempt to steal the treasures! At least… you must wait for me to recover my strength first. Sister Qing Han and the rest can still wait for a few more years. Once I've recovered my full strength, I will go along with you. That way, no matter the results, we will be together, and my heart will be at ease…"
After writing all this, Mei Xue Yan stared at her writing for a long time before she slowly lifted her head. She looked deeply at Jun Mo Xie and wrote again on the ground: "PROMISE ME!!!"
Jun Mo Xie sucked in a deep breath of air and finally nodded. "I promise!"
A serious expression appeared in Mei Xue Yan's eyes as she meeped lightly and continued writing. "I didn't want to say this originally… but right now, we're already at an irreconcilable point with the three Holy Lands. Even if we did not snatch their Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus, they would still seek to consign us to death… As for the Misty Illusory Manor, they had already revealed their greedy ambitions back then with the Beguiling Mist. Our two sides are already destined to be enemies…"
Jun Mo Xie smiled calmly and nodded. "Looks like our enmity with these powers is truly f*cking fated… Even if we don't want to become enemies, it's impossible…
He closed his eyes and spoke softly. "500 years… is sufficient!" As he said that, he clenched his fists into a ball. "The Seven Colored Tree and the Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus… are mine now!"
Mei Xue Yan looked at him silently as her eyes narrowed into a cute crescent shape. "Those girls are all good ladies. You must not let them down… Mo Xie, I can also see that that Han Second Young Miss is also very interested in you… There's also Princess Ling Meng. Your charm with women is really not low, huh…"
Jun Mo Xie smiled awkwardly. "To be honest, the one I like the most is still you…"
Mei Xue Yan's little body straightened up immediately and she sat down cross-legged. Her two snow white paws were crossed in front of her chest and she tilted her head with a 'there's no way I'd believe you' kind of expression.
Unbeknownst to her, this posture was adorable to an extreme level… Paired with the expression she was making right now, it was simply so cute that it could charm others to death!
Jun Mo Xie's face froze in an instant, and with a swift grab, he caught her and started kneading her soft fur affectionately. Mei Xue Yan cried out with shock and hurriedly escaped from the claws of the devil, fleeing far away…
Jun Mo Xie roared with laughter, and his gloomy mood was completely swept away…
After some time, he once again dove into his sea of consciousness and began searching through the pill recipes again. He had only just broken through to the fifth level, so there should be some new pill recipes that he could use.
After searching for a while, he discovered that there were actually three pills that were suitable for him to refine at the fifth level.
Grade 3 Pills.
Void Extremes Pill, Profound Extremes Pill, Heaven Extremes Pill…
After looking through the properties of the three pills and the refining requirements, he slapped his thigh and instantly decided to refine them!
It was impossible to not be moved. The effects of these three medicinal pills were simply too alluring!
Void Extremes Pill: upon successful refining, will revert to a liquid state. Can repair and nourish the meridians, greatly increase the flexibility of the meridians, and expand the size of the dantian. From what Jun Mo Xie gathered from the information, this pill should be restricted to those at Sky Xuan and above to consume.
The requirements on cultivation level were even lower than the previous three pills by an entire level!
Profound Extremes Pill: can heal any and all injuries, flesh or bones, and even bring a person back from the jaws of death. Does not distinguish between internal and external injuries. Once consumed, all injuries will be reverted as new! Regardless of cultivation level!
As for restrictions, the Sky Xuan level was still the lowest requirement.
Heaven Extremes Pill: can be consumed by Sky Xuan and above. Each pill will grant an increase of one 60 years cycle worth of pure energy. Each person is limited to three pills, with at least three months time in between! Note: This pill can only raise cultivation energy, and cannot advance the level of the Spirit!
In other words, an expert at Sky Xuan level or above could, within a period of nine months, consume three Heaven Extremes Pill, gaining 180 years worth of cultivation! And there were no side effects at all!
Jun Mo Xie was truly somewhat speechless at this! This was simply a pill that defied the heavens! There's a saying that peerless beauties and famous generals are hard to find. This is because the lives of beauties and famous generals are all fateful. The chances of being able to live to a ripe old age are very small. They usually die prematurely, and there is no chance to live old.
