Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

In a battle between experts, a decision can be made in an instant.

"Qingfeng Sword? Hmph, you don't even dare to use your signature move? A cowardly sneak!" The fist and sword separated abruptly, and Chen Xiaosheng was forced back three zhang, his hands behind his back, concealing the bleeding sword wound.

Looking at his opponent, although he retreated ten zhang, he was unscathed.

"Heh~ If I were to use my signature move, would you even have a chance to live?"

"Hahaha, then why don't you try? To be able to block my 'Heaven Piercing Divine Fist' with just a mid-level martial art, you must be in the top twenty of the Grandmaster Ranking! So… which of the top twenty are you? And can you withstand the Emperor's hundred thousand golden-knife guards?" Chen Xiaosheng laughed loudly, trying to provoke him while also stalling for time to secretly regulate his breathing.

Let alone the opponent using his signature move, he might not be able to withstand even the same level of attack as before.

There was no way around it, he had to admit he was getting old. Now that he was over eighty years old, his vitality had long begun to decline, and his strength was not what it used to be.

Upon hearing this, the masked man's sinister eyes narrowed slightly under his mask, and he subconsciously looked around.

As one of the top twenty on the Grandmaster Ranking, one of the very few with the most outstanding personal strength in this world, he had never been threatened before.

He subconsciously had the intention of not leaving a single person alive.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking. There are always oversights, let alone a spur-of-the-moment decision. Moreover, even if he could silence everyone, it would be difficult to hide the traces at the scene.

"Ding ding ding~" Just as his thoughts fluctuated, countless silver needles as thin as hair shot out.

His expression changed instantly. With a wave of his sword, he flew back, not daring to face them head-on.

"'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles'! Su Jishi, hmph, you've been hiding deep enough!" Barely avoiding the sky full of needles, the masked man's vitality was slightly disturbed. Staring at the figure slowly rising into the air from behind an inconspicuous pile of rocks in the distance, the face under the mask was even more gloomy.

"Father-in-law!" Ning Haichan's heart finally settled, and he gratefully bowed to Su Jishi in mid-air.

Su Jishi did not look at Ning Haichan, but stared at the masked man, and said with a full voice: "I don't understand right or wrong, good or evil, justice or wickedness. This trip is just to fulfill a promise to my beloved daughter, and there will be no further involvement afterward.

Although you are a leader on the Grandmaster Ranking, I think you are not confident that you can win against the two of us joining forces. Why not retreat and pretend nothing happened."

Coordinating with Su Jishi's words, Chen Xiaosheng gracefully flew to Su Jishi's side, standing shoulder to shoulder.

"Swoosh~" The masked man was quite decisive, without any procrastination or nonsense, he turned around and left.

At the same time, the other masked men, seeing this scene, did not dare to stay at all, and followed him away.

...

"Father-in-law…"

"Greetings, Grandmaster Chen, greetings, Grandmaster Su…" Inside the military tent, Ning Haichan and the guiding officer saluted one after another.

Su Jishi waved his hand: "Enough nonsense, continue on the road. After arriving at the imperial city, we will have no further involvement."

"Father-in-law! Your son-in-law has a sincere heart for Susu, why is it like this?" Ning Haichan looked sincere.

"Bah!" Su Jishi spat on the ground, not even wanting to say another word to him.

Ning Haichan looked aggrieved: "Father-in-law, I know, you resent me for not giving Susu the status of first wife. It is indeed my fault, but…"

"I don't want to hear your nonsense! I'll just ask you one question, why didn't you give the Marrow Cleansing Pill to Sujin?" Su Jishi impatiently interrupted him.

Hearing this, Ning Haichan was even more helpless: "Father-in-law, they are all my daughters, the palms of my hands and the backs of my hands are all flesh. It's just that Yutan has more talent, and a delicate mind… The facts have also proven this, this year's Immortal Seed…"

"Bullshit, if Sujin took the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she could also become an Immortal Seed!"

"…Yes, yes, yes, Father-in-law is right." Ning Haichan no longer explained.

"What? Are you being so perfunctory, thinking that I'm acting old and selling old?" Su Jishi became even more angry.

"…"

The scene became awkward for a while.

Chen Xiaosheng coughed lightly: "Brother Su, what's there to say to these juniors? Later, we two old guys will go have a drink."

Only then did Su Jishi relax slightly.

"Yes, yes, yes, Grandmaster Chen is right, let's guess who that person will be first? And who has the strength to invite such a character to appear? Such a character has come to our side, I'm afraid that those on Prince Yun's side and the Wang family's side won't be any worse than this person, right?" The Immortal Seeking Palace's guiding officer hurriedly changed the subject.

"Hmph! What's there to guess? To be able to invite someone from the top twenty of the Grandmaster Ranking, and to eliminate Immortal Seeds, who else could it be but someone from within their royal family?" Su Jishi glanced at the guiding officer with disdain.

"Could it be… that person can't wait any longer?" As soon as the guiding officer said this, he hurriedly shut his mouth.

Ning Haichan exchanged a glance with him and nodded secretly.

Yes, where in the world is there a fifty-year-old heir apparent?

In addition, it is rumored that this year, the Immortal Master may descend to the mortal world and bring the Emperor an elixir to prolong his life, perhaps he can really outlive the Imperial Grandson.

How could he not be anxious?

"Don't speak carelessly! Who in the world doesn't want to live forever and enjoy ten thousand years? Maybe some peerless master wants to usurp the throne and seize the Emperor's immortal opportunity in order to obtain a reward from the Immortal Master." Ning Haichan said pretentiously.

"Yes, yes, yes, that must be the case, that must be the case." The guiding officer hurriedly echoed.

"There's no need to say more about this matter, the immortal official should report the truth to the Emperor. The key now is whether there is a foolproof plan for the next journey?" Ning Haichan ended the topic that could easily cause problems, and turned to look at his father-in-law and Chen Xiaosheng, who were sitting high on the grand master chairs.

Chen Xiaosheng waved his hand: "As long as the other party doesn't dare to expose himself, with us two old guys around, there should be no worries. Brother Su, what do you think?"

"Hmph, as long as you're standing in front, I dare to release cold needles from behind. If you die, I'll immediately leave." Su Jishi said bluntly, without any demeanor of a master.

"Hahaha… your title of Turtle Grandmaster is well-deserved." Chen Xiaosheng laughed loudly.

With his father-in-law's promise, Ning Haichan felt relieved.

"Father, have the thieves retreated? Did they really come to kill me?" At this moment, the guards brought Ning Yutan, Ning Sujin, and Li Jian, the three seedlings, into the tent.

"Hurry up and pay respects to your Grandpa Chen and your Grandpa Su! If they hadn't saved your lives today, you would have been in great danger." Ning Haichan hurriedly winked at Ning Yutan.

Ning Yutan instantly understood, and hurriedly smiled brightly, her eyes seemingly sparkling with stars: "Grandpa Su, I've long heard my mother say that my second mother's father is a peerless master. Yutan has always admired you immensely. Today, my wish has finally come true. Thank you, Grandpa, for saving my life. Yutan will never forget it."

She was generous, enthusiastic, and such a cute little girl that even Su Jishi, who originally didn't have a good expression, was embarrassed to keep a straight face.

Especially when he saw his own granddaughter, Ning Sujin, turning her head away and not looking at him, he liked the polite little girl Ning Yutan even more.

"This silly girl, didn't Grandpa try to seek an immortal opportunity for you back then? Unfortunately, you ultimately didn't have the good fortune…" Sighing inwardly, Su Jishi nodded to Ning Yutan.

After Ning Yutan finished thanking Chen Xiaosheng, Ning Haichan said to Ning Sujin: "Jin'er, it's been a long time since you've seen your grandfather, haven't you often said that you miss your grandfather? Go and let your grandfather take a good look at you."

Ning Sujin frowned, somewhat unwillingly stepping forward…
