Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 908 - Chapter 908 Chapter 582 Maybe Well Still Be on the Same Front

Chapter 908: Chapter 582: Maybe We’ll Still Be on the Same Front Line_2 Chapter 908: Chapter 582: Maybe We’ll Still Be on the Same Front Line_2 Watching Stone Toughness’s retreating figure, Tu Wa Zi couldn’t help but speak up, surprised and amazed.

He was self-aware that the reason he was able to ascend so quickly was mainly due to Lord Willow God’s protection and guidance, who provided them with supreme treasures to pave a shortcut. Otherwise, it would have been impossible at this moment, at least without a significant period of accumulation.

But Stone Toughness had not joined Liu Village!

The other party relied entirely on his own strength. Perhaps there was external assistance, but it certainly couldn’t match the help provided by the Willow God.

It’s unknown where the Stone Clan got such incredible luck. With two remarkable individuals from the same clan, each one was extraordinary,

“He has always been strong. Double Pupils are known as the talent of a Saint, and reaching True Immortal is definitely not his limit!”

Shi Hao withdrew his gaze and nodded, agreeing with Tu Wa Zi’s words.

Among the prodigious talents of the current age, those with Double Pupils held an unbreakable position.

The few of them did not discuss much further and continued on their way.

Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen, knowing the old stories between the two of them, did not bring it up much.

As for Shi Hao, he had long since let go of past grievances, treating them as the foundation of his growth. If not for this, he would not have gone to Liu Village, nor would he have met Grandpa Shi, Shi Lin Hu, Shi Fei Jiao, Snotty, Second Child, and others, let alone encounter Willow God, much less lay down an unbreakable foundation in his youth.

Every cause has its effect.

Moreover, no matter how extraordinary a Double Pupil individual might be, there was at least no interaction between them at the moment.

…

The towering Medicine King Peak pierced the clouds. At the midsection of the peak, there was an endless corridor of bluestone steps that ran straight down like a tall pine, with a large platform every ten thousand steps, and each corner of the platform equipped with one of the thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight huge bronze medicine tripods.

There weren’t many figures on the bluestone stairway, and occasionally at the top of the peak, one could faintly see disciples in dark blue gowns with cauldron emblems on their chests walking by.

The three hadn’t yet begun their ascent when they encountered an old man with youthful facial features and a slender figure, wearing a robe covered in cloud patterns and flower veins, riding on clouds, who hurriedly approached, landing in front of them.

Immediately, a steaming fragrance of Treasure medicinal plants hit their faces, a rich aroma that made one feel refreshed and spirited with just one breath.

One who was imbued with the fragrance of medicine, as if a living Human Body Big Medicine, could only achieve such a state through prolonged seclusion in the path of alchemy.

At this stage, it wasn’t about one’s realm, but rather the preciousness of the medicinal plants during alchemy.

Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen were okay with it; they had grown up in Liu Village, where countless Treasure medicinal plants and Divine Medicines, even the legendary Undying Immortal Medicines, were present. Naturally, their resistance to medicinal fragrances was superior to others.

Shi Hao, however, couldn’t help but take a few more breaths and then looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared in front of him with some surprise.

It wasn’t his first time here. He had visited Medicine King Valley a few times and was quite familiar with the path, but the person who had received him before was a middle-aged Fellow Daoist from the Void Path Realm, the Sect Master of Medicine King Valley, not the one in front of him.

As for the person before him, Shi Hao had never seen him before. The energy and the fragrance of the precious medicines the old man carried were far stronger than that of the Sect Master of Medicine King Valley.

“The Old One is the Great High Ancestor of Medicine King Valley, the second generation Sect Master of the Valley, now at the Semi-step Supreme Realm. I have been in seclusion until just a few days ago when I emerged!”

The old man showed a flattering smile on his face as he promptly introduced himself.

Three beings at the True Immortal Level, even if placed within those Immortal Taoist sects, could be considered grand, and worthy of attention.

Not to mention, the moment he came down the mountain, he recognized Shi Hao as the foremost individual in the Immortal Domain rankings, possessing enough strength over tens of thousands of years to trigger the Immortal King Tribulation. Although he ultimately did not successfully overcome it, such strength was not just unattainable for the young generation, but how many in the older generation of cultivators could achieve this?

Suddenly realizing this, the elder’s gaze once again filled with amazement.

He did not expect that after failing the tribulation, the other party would act as if nothing had happened, a testament through ancient and modern times as the first of their kind!

These, however, were secondary; what mattered most was that now, within the Immortal Domain, who did not know of this person’s unusually close relationship with Liu Village?

Back when he faced his tribulation, an Immortal King giant had tried to hinder him, and it was only because an unparalleled existence from Liu Village had taken action on his behalf that he could survive. Otherwise, no matter how tough his life was, it was doubtful he could have lived through the hands of that Immortal King giant.

As for the two accompanying Huang, the elder squinted his eyes. Perhaps because he had been in seclusion for too long, he did not recognize them. However, to attain the Immortal Seat at such a young age was truly no small feat.

“These two are from Liu Village, the peerless prodigies of that place!”

Shi Hao noticed the elder’s confusion and spoke up to explain.

“It turns out to be the prodigies of the Willow Sacred Land visiting my humble abode, and I did not recognize them at the first moment, truly an oversight for which I must be punished!”

The elder’s face changed imperceptibly, but his attitude remained as warm as ever, his voice rising several notches instantly.

Visitors from the Willow Sacred Land meant to him, like smoke rising from his ancestors’ graves, an occurrence too significant to even contemplate. The fact that such people would personally visit Medicine King Valley would amplify its renown several times over should the news spread.

Without their permission, he could only entertain the thought, but regardless, the people of Willow Sacred Land had visited his Medicine King Valley, and surely many had witnessed it. Even without deliberately spreading the word, word was bound to leak out, and Medicine King Valley had thus inadvertently established a connection with Willow Sacred Land.

After this event, the elixirs paid in tribute to Willow Sacred Land every hundred years would have to be doubled in quantity!

The elder mulled over in his heart. Although it pained him to do so, if that could solidify this connection…

As he spoke, the elder also produced three boxes, the size of an infant’s fist and exquisitely carved, from the depths of his wide sleeves.

“With all three Lords visiting my Medicine King Valley, I remorsefully failed to greet you all promptly. These are the elixirs I’ve just taken out of the cauldron, with the effects of preserving beauty, molding the body, and refining one’s health. Please, consider them a token of my apology, and I hope the Lords will be lenient and forgiving! If the Lords have any beloved friends, these items will surely win their favour!”

The elder chuckled, his attitude extremely respectful.

“Fellow Daoist, you are far too polite!” Tu Wa Zi grinned, accepting the gifts.

He was not very good at rejecting others’ kindness, and Lord Willow God also often taught them not to worry too much–take what’s given, always be practical, and these elixirs were just what the War Goddess needed.

“Please, my Lord, you mustn’t say such things. You are a True Immortal, I am not even worthy to be called Supreme, how can I possibly address you as ‘Fellow Daoist’!”

Hearing Tu Wa Zi’s words, the elder hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, looking overwhelmed by the honor. He was only at the Half-step Supreme Realm and had no right to speak on equal terms with a True Immortal Existence. To reach that level, he would at the very least have to address them as Great High Ancestor.

After exchanging pleasantries, Shi Hao quickly got to the point.

“While the elixirs that extend life are precious, my Medicine King Valley has accumulated enough over the years to spare, but the effects such external substances can have are ultimately limited. In the case of your friend, his body’s functions have reached the true end of their tether, and even with more elixirs, the effect would not be profound; at most, they might just extend his life by another month.”

“After all, the elixirs for extending life are not real Longevity Medicine, and they can’t be compared to the genuine thing. They’re effective when first taken, but with frequent use, their effectiveness gradually weakens, until eventually they become useless!” the elder explained further, afraid that Shi Hao and the others might not understand, feeling there was no need to elaborate.

To a cultivator, an extension of just over a month was not even enough time for a brief nap; taking them would be a waste.

Of course, the elder only dared to mutter that last sentence to himself, merely making a suggestion.

“Is there any other way to extend life?” Shi Hao sighed, already aware of this yet hoping to find a solution.

“In the presence of you Lords, I dare not utter a single falsehood, but looking at the world, if one wishes to achieve long-lasting life, there is only one path,and that is to continuously break through. Anything else, even Longevity Medicine quality substances, are mere external objects after all,” said the second-generation Sect Master of Medicine King Valley, shaking his head.
