longevity chart

Chapter 271: Zhang Yu wants to cry
After his lifespan was fully restored and he practiced for another half a day, Xu Hong finally felt that his body had fully recovered. He walked out of the room and just opened the door, he saw a pair of bright eyes and a pair of round flesh balls that almost stuck to him.

Xu Hong took two steps back involuntarily, and then he saw clearly. He couldn't help but frowned: "What are you doing in my room so early in the morning? You didn't knock on the door, but just stood there. Are you trying to scare me to death?"

The person who appeared before him was none other than his fiancée, Chen Qingyuan.

Facing the question, the girl looked embarrassed and pinched the corner of her clothes: "I...I can't sleep because I missed the delicious food you mentioned? Otherwise...take me to eat first, and after I finish eating, I guarantee that I can successfully achieve the fourth level of longevity increase!"

"You want to eat before you break through? No way!"

Xu Hong was speechless.

I thought this girl worked hard and achieved the requirement in just over a day. After all the fuss, it turns out that this is not the case at all. She wants to eat before she even starts practicing... What a sweet dream!

Chen Qingyuan grabbed Xu Hong's arm and said, "Take me with you. I've been thinking about how delicious the food you mentioned is, and I can't concentrate on practicing..."

Before she finished her words, the girl's abdomen made a rumbling sound.

Xu Hong's eyebrows jumped, and he looked strange: "You wouldn't...haven't eaten anything since I talked to you yesterday?"

Chen Qingyuan stiffened his neck: "It's okay to go hungry for a few meals in order to eat delicious food. I used to do that often..."

Looking down at the softness on the other person's arm, Xu Hong felt helpless. It seemed that he hadn't shrunk at all after being hungry for a few meals...

"Forget it, I'll take you to eat!"

Knowing that this girl would not practice hard unless she finished eating first, Xu Hong had no choice but to nod and agree.

Although cultivation is going against the current and if you don't advance you will regress, practicing hard all the time may not necessarily lead to continuous gains. Sometimes opportunity is also very important. The girl in front of him is a natural lover, and dragon fish meat itself is of great benefit to cultivators. Taking her with him may be better than practicing hard in seclusion.

"I know you're the best to me..."

Chen Qingyuan nodded excitedly, and then asked tentatively: "Since we are going to eat good food, can I... bring my friends with me?"

"friend?"

Xu Hong was puzzled: "You want to bring Elder Wu Yue?"

Chen Qingyuan shook her head: "Of course not Master, but my newly recognized sister. She is very kind to me and treats me well. How could I abandon her when there are delicious foods for me..."

After the girl finished speaking, she pushed open the door of a room not far away: "Sister Fengjiu, hurry up, Xu Hong promised to take us to eat delicious food..."

"..."

Xu Hong blinked, not knowing what to say.

I really don't know whether to say this girl is stupid or naive... This Ye Fengjiu, staying here, obviously wants to steal your girl! In the end, you really treat her as a sister!

Knowing that the young man had seen through her intentions, Ye Fengjiu looked a little embarrassed, then bowed and said, "If... Master Xu is not convenient, then forget it..."

Xu Hong shook his head: "What's the inconvenience? It's just eating. Let's call Xu Ying too. We can enjoy the food together, instead of practicing alone!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!" Ye Fengjiu smiled.

He asked Chen Qingyuan to call his cousin over, and Xu Hong asked Wei Ziyang to find his "great-grandson" Cheng Yu.

Yipinxuan is very difficult to book. It was this guy who helped me to book it last time. Now that I have this opportunity, I should make good use of it. It just so happens that the other party has booked it and I don’t have to spend any money.

Before Wei Ziyang walked out of the door, he met Cheng Yu, who was walking hurriedly with a serious face. As soon as he walked in, he looked at Xu Hong with a confused expression on his face: "Ancestor, something happened..."

"what happened?"

Xu Hong looked over in confusion.

Cheng Yu lowered his voice and said, "It's like this... Although the Liyuan Dynasty has fallen apart, I still have many subordinates and informants. This morning, a subordinate came to me and said... The family of the ancestor in this body was captured by a group of men in black and taken to the Central King City..."

After a moment of shock, Xu Hong reacted and frowned: "You mean... the people from Xujiazhuang? Who arrested them, who did they arrest?"

Cheng Yu said: "I don't know who arrested them, but according to the information I got from my spies, your father Xu Tianlin and Master Xu Ying's father Xu Tianfeng were both arrested!"

"Caught my father?"

Xu Ying on the side immediately showed an anxious look: "Who did it? I must kill him..."

Xu Hong: "Don't worry! This is just news that has been received, it may not be accurate!"

After saying that, he looked at Cheng Yu and said, "My father and the Great Elder have hardly ever left Xujiazhuang. How did your subordinates know that they were arrested and happened to see it?"

This is the biggest loophole.

Although he had fought with this guy many times and even brought down the Liyuan Dynasty, his father Xu Tianlin and the great elder Xu Tianfeng had never appeared in the royal city. Cheng Yu had never even seen this guy, so how could his subordinates possibly know him?

The most important thing is, isn't arresting someone very secretive? How stupid is it to be discovered?
Cheng Yu had a conflicted look on his face, as if he had something to hide.

"Just tell me what you have to say. I won't blame you!" Xu Hong said.

"All right!"

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Yu exhaled: "Actually... it was Prince Duan Longping who captured your father and Xu Ying's father, and I was fed poison, so I had to listen to him and come here to pass on the news..."

"Duan Longping?"

Ye Fengjiu frowned.

One is the crown prince of the current dynasty, with tremendous power, and the other is a genius of the Chiyuan Sect. Logically, there should be no conflicts between the two, so why did they capture his relatives?
Is it because of myself?

No, she just arrived yesterday. It would take several days to travel from the Yuan Dynasty to the Central Kingdom even with a flying monster.

"Yes!" Cheng Yu nodded.

I just deliberately gave a reason that was full of loopholes, and then told him about my own situation. If anything went wrong, it had nothing to do with him, so I had completely distanced myself from him.

Otherwise, as a disciple of the Chiyuan Sect, you are a pawn of the Central Dynasty... This alone is enough to kill you a hundred times.

"Are you poisoned? Come, let me see!"

Without asking about his father's matter, Xu Hong reached out and grabbed Cheng Yu's wrist.

"Thank you for your concern, Old Ancestor. I don't need it now!"

Cheng Yu retracted his arm.

"As an alchemist, I have a good detoxification ability. If I can cure you, you won't be threatened by the other party!" Xu Hong explained.

"Thank you very much..." Cheng Yu nodded.

He had long known that the other party had a strong detoxification ability. If he could really handle it, it would be the best.

Xu Hong placed his fingers on the other person's pulse, and a stream of true energy flowed into it.

"really!"

Not long after the Qi was circulated, he indeed sensed the poison. In an instant, he understood many things completely.

It seems that this guy is in cahoots with Prince Duan Longping... Otherwise, how could a single disciple like him possibly get such a precious medicinal ingredient as the Shen Hua Dan?
Yipinxuan, how is it so easy to book a private room?

In that case... we can make use of it!
Knowing this, Xu Hong did not say anything, but instead activated the Red Emperor's Fire Profound Art, and a stream of Fire Profound Qi silently penetrated into the other person's body.

"Can it be cured?"

Cheng Yu didn't realize anything was wrong, but looked over expectantly.

"This poison is quite strong. I'll try it, but don't hold your hopes too high. It may not work..." Xu Hong pointed his finger, and the Xuan Huo Qi rolled. In an instant, the poison that had been gathered together exploded immediately, like firecrackers in a cesspool...

"puff!"

Cheng Yu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu Hong scratched his head: "I'm sorry... your poison is too strong. I didn't cure it, but instead accelerated its spread! According to the previous situation, even if the poison is in your body, you can live for three months without any problem. But now... you should only have three days to live!"

"..."

Cheng Yu's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

This is not a treatment for me, you are trying to kill me!

Just when I was about to collapse and regret having asked the other party to see the doctor, I heard the other party's anxious voice in my ear: "No, I need another treatment..."

"no need……"

Cheng Yu was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, fearing that if he was too slow, he would die here immediately.

"you do not believe me?"

Xu Hong frowned.

Cheng Yu's lips trembled: "It's not that the great-grandson doesn't believe in the ancestor, but... my poison is a small matter. For now, it is more important to save Patriarch Xu and others!"

After saying this, fearing that the young man in front of him would not believe him, he handed over the clan leader token that Xu Tianlin had obtained.

"This was given to me by Crown Prince Duan Longping. The Crown Prince wants to talk to the ancestor alone. If you don't go, these two may be in danger..."

"Brother Hong..."

Xu Ying recognized him at a glance, his face full of anxiety.

Xu Hong took the token, took a step forward, then stopped and sighed: "I really want to find this prince, but... my cultivation is too low. Forget it, I will talk to you after I break through to the spiritual consciousness realm first!"

Cheng Yu's face twitched involuntarily: "I think saving people is more important..."

Xu Hong nodded: "I know saving people is important, but I am not strong enough. Even if I go, not only will I not be able to save people, I may even be imprisoned... In this case, it is better to wait! Wait until I am strong enough before going!"

Cheng Yu: "Then... How long will it take for you, Old Ancestor, to cultivate to the Spiritual Consciousness Realm?"

Xu Hong: "If I practice normally, it will take about two years. If I have enough Soul-Enriching Pills, I should be able to break through within three days... Unfortunately, Soul-Enriching Pills are extremely precious and I can't find them at all. Forget it, two years will do!"

Cheng Yu: "But... Prince Duan Longping ordered me not to give me the antidote unless I can bring you there..."

Xu Hong: "I know, now I can only trouble you to fail to complete the task and die of poison! Don't worry, as the ancestor, I will not treat you unfairly. I will give you a grand funeral. All the specifications will be in accordance with the standards of a king, so it is not wronged!"

“……” Cheng Yu was stunned.

I'm still alive, and you're planning to bury me?

I threatened you with your father's life to make you promise, but why do I feel like I'm being threatened by you?

What is this called!
For a moment, Cheng Yu felt like crying.
