Chapter 661: Chapter 567: The Longevity Experiment! 【Seeking Monthly Tickets, Seeking Subscriptions】

"Haha, it’s really you, kid. What a rare visitor!" Deputy Dean Shang Shipeng said with great enthusiasm.

That was one of the reasons Wang Zijia came to see him instead of the Dean. Shang Shipeng and Zhang Decheng enjoyed a very close relationship, being of the same generation.

While they were not particularly close friends, thousands of years of companionship had forged strong bonds!

"What brings you to my shabby courtyard?" Shang Shipeng sat down comfortably in the main seat and asked.

As he spoke, he picked up the nearby tea and took a big gulp to satiate his thirst.

"Martial Uncle Ming Ling is joking!" Wang Zijia took a seat as his host did and replied.

"I don’t recall making a joke, Dao Child Ruoguan has been stirring up a storm throughout the entire sect, almost everyone knows about it. Quite a popularity! Even I, who spends all day refining elixirs, have heard a lot about it recently."

Shang Shipeng finished his cup of tea to quench his thirst, put it down, and said,

"And Old Scholar Zhang has been keeping you so tightly under wraps, as if he were afraid we would kidnap you, quite intriguing!"

As he spoke, he examined Wang Zijia, saying, "I don’t see anything different about you, you still have two arms and two legs!"

Wang Zijia: "······"

Wang Zijia didn’t respond to this obvious joke.

This familiarity, which stemmed from an elder relative’s relationship and led to a close relationship, didn’t bother Wang Zijia. He chatted with Shang Shipeng for a while before bringing up the main point.

"I came to see Martial Uncle today to ask for a batch of elixirs."

"What kind of elixir?" Shang Shipeng had anticipated this. What else could bring someone to him?

"Life Extension Pills!" Wang Zijia replied.

Shang Shipeng frowned slightly and shook his head, "Don’t bother. The Life Extension Pills I could get hold of have had zero effect on Old Scholar Zhang for hundreds and thousands of years."

"If you really want to try, you might as well think of something else. If I got you a batch, he’d probably just end up giving it away."

"You’ve misunderstood, Martial Uncle. I want regular Life Extension Pills for an elder in my family, a second-grade pill suitable for ordinary people and child-stage individuals," Wang Zijia explained.

If it were any other second-grade pill, one could buy it anywhere in the vast Wanyu Sect.

However, that wasn’t the case with Life Extension Pills.

Even if one only wanted a second-grade pill, there were only a few places in the Inner Sect Dan Institute where one could obtain it on demand.

Of course, there were plenty of places if one went a few years in advance for preorder.

"Is that so?" After only a short consideration, Shang Shipeng turned to the child next to him and instructed, "Go to the pill room and fetch a bottle of Hundred Years Elixir..."

He paused and asked, "How many do you need? These things aren’t valuable, but they are somewhat hard to come by, I don’t have a lot of them."

’I don’t have many... This big spender!’

In fact, all the God Monarchs in the four paths of pill, equipment, array, and talisman, who had lived for hundreds, if not thousands of years, were big spenders!

"One bottle will suffice!" Wang Zijia said smiling.

Shang Shipeng nodded, after which the child rushed off without requiring further instructions.

In a short while, the child returned with a delicate jade box. Shang Shipeng directly signaled the child to hand it over to Wang Zijia.

"This Hundred Years Elixir theoretically can only be consumed thrice by a person. Typically, it’s used by Wine Monks, extending your life by about ten years. However, because of the raw materials used, it can also be used by ordinary people and children and has even better effects."

"The first pill would extend your life by about fifty years, the second by half of that, and the third by half again. Any more after that would be no better than a sugar bean."

"Normally, there should be three pills per bottle, but that’s a bit stingy. So, I packed them in the regular small bottles, ten pills per bottle!"

As Wang Zijia opened the jade box, Shang Shipeng explained.

Wang Zijia: "······"

’Such a rich and luxurious vibe!’

"How much is it?" Wang Zijia asked.

"It’s not some precious item, just a bit unique. Consider it a welcome gift from me, your Martial Uncle!" Shang Shipeng said casually.

But Wang Zijia smiled and said, "I can’t go against the rules. Since I came here intending to buy something, if Martial Uncle wants to give me a welcome gift, I can always come and visit with the sect leader on another day or at a different time!"

"You really have learned all the complicated rules and considerations from that old scholar." Shang Shipeng didn’t insist and waved his hand, "Then just give me one million magic money."

The price was actually reasonable. Life Extension Pills were always considered a premier luxury item in the cultivation world, a real top-tier product.

Their only competition was the line of Beauty Preserving Pills and the like. However, the market for Beauty Preserving Pills was much smaller. If it weren’t for the excessive number of female cultivators, you can bet it wouldn’t be a competitor!

If the pills were sold in bottles of three, they could fetch the same price in the right market!

This sort of thing was not intended for those fringe Wine Monk families who had to scrape by to afford ten thousand magic money!

"Then I must thank Martial Uncle!" Wang Zijia didn’t insist anymore and bowed courteously toward him.

Shang Shipeng was probably in the middle of refining a rather high-level elixir, so, lacking trust in the child who was looking after the fire, he took his leave after chatting with Wang Zijia for a while longer.

Wang Zijia took his leave as well and hurriedly left Qifeng.

He silently returned to his cultivation room and opened the Blood-Red Book. The entrance to the Duobao World appeared, and Wang Zijia stepped right in.
