Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Resurrection Pill

"The Black Dragon King of the Southernmost Sea?"

Qin Jun frowned, cursing inwardly, isn’t that Li’s father?

Damn!

The White Dragon had become her disciple’s mentor?

Wasn’t this damn mess too complicated?

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched as he suddenly recalled something. He had imparted the Undying Saint Body to the White Dragon before he left. Could it be that the Southernmost Sea Dragon Clan’s practice of the Undying Saint Body originated from the White Dragon?

The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. The word "cause and effect" was truly unpredictable.

Where had the Undying Saint Body come from in the first place?

As soon as Qin Jun thought about it, he felt frustrated and couldn’t help asking the system. As for Ji Yongsheng, he had no idea about the Undying Saint Body.

"Time travel always creates the unexpected. Maybe the Undying Saint Body appeared out of nowhere during host’s time travels, or it might have already existed, the specifics are uncertain. Host will understand everything in time," the system casually replied, clearly not wanting to dwell on this issue.

Qin Jun was speechless and had to cast his doubts out of his mind.

"I’ve had some conflicts with the Black Dragon King; I fear he won’t believe my identity," Qin Jun said, feeling resigned.

The Black Dragon King was not only the White Dragon’s disciple but also Li’s father, so Qin Jun really couldn’t just attack directly.

Considering it from the Black Dragon King’s perspective, he hadn’t really done anything wrong. When he had forcibly taken Li away, he hadn’t caused any casualties, indicating his nature was not bad.

It was just his deep love for his daughter.

"Don’t worry, I’ll record my words and let you, master, take them in the form of a scroll," Qingtian assured, thumping his chest.

He saw that Qin Jun was looking to find the Black Dragon King, but Bianhai City had just been attacked by the Green Fox King, and he couldn’t leave.

Moreover, Yang Jian and Tang Sanzang under Qin Jun’s command were both stronger than him; his presence wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Qin Jun nodded.

After they talked for another half-hour, Qingtian finally left.

Qin Jun sat cross-legged on the bed and took a deep breath, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

Especially the death of Shouxin made him very irritable.

A woman had pursued him for more than two thousand years after he had disappeared and finally gave up the path to immortality and chose to end her life. This kind of devotion weighed heavy.

In his previous life, he had only seen this in novels and TV dramas and thought it was fiction. Shouxin’s appearance, however, deeply upset him.

He found it hard to imagine how Shouxin had endured those two thousand years.

"System, is it possible to resurrect someone?" Qin Jun couldn’t help asking in his heart.

If given another chance, he would definitely treat that girl well.

"Yes, the Mythology Marketplace has resurrection pills, but they require the deceased to have an intact body and undispersed soul," the system answered, causing Qin Jun’s face to cloud over.

It had been over seven thousand years since Shouxin had passed away. How could her body possibly still be intact, and her soul had probably already reincarnated.

Qin Jun felt even more distressed.

Looking out the window at the bright moon, he was lost in thought, drifting back to ten thousand years ago.

There had been a girl who loved him, and it had been for more than ten thousand years now.

Loving someone for ten thousand years is easy to say, but it’s harder to do than becoming immortal.

...

The next morning, Qin Jun walked out of his room. He hadn’t used his God and Demon summoning opportunity or the random draw the previous night because he wasn’t in the mood.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Liu Ruolai squatting beside the old tree in the courtyard.

He became dazed, sunlight filtering through the leaves and shining upon Liu Ruolai, causing him to have the feeling of seeing Shouxin.

Shouxin loved to plant flowers and would always squat under the sunlight, smiling foolishly at her plants.

"Damn, I’m losing it."

Qin Jun sighed and walked towards Liu Ruolai.

Approaching Liu Ruolai from behind, he found her squatting in front of the tree, crying softly.

"Hey, what happened? Who’s bullied you?" Qin Jun asked out loud, and for some reason, watching Liu Ruolai again gave him the impression of seeing Shouxin.

The two women looked quite alike, and when Qin Jun had met Shouxin, she had been fifteen.

Liu Ruolai, sixteen.

Both of them had youthful faces, but Liu Ruolai was feisty, while Shouxin was shy.

Upon hearing his question, Liu Ruolai quickly stood up, wiping away her tears while pouting, "I heard the headmaster talk about Shouxin’s story, and it made me feel bad."

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched in annoyance, "The person who should feel bad is me, why are you joining in?"

Shit!

Just as his mood was beginning to stabilize, that girl had to bring it up again...

Qin Jun felt terrible again, just to have Liu Ruolai come up to him and stare intently as she asked, "Did you really live for over ten thousand years?"

"None of your damn business," Qin Jun replied, rolling his eyes.

"Then do you love Shouxin?" Liu Ruolai pressed on, her tone aggressive and anxious about Qin Jun’s answer.

Qin Jun was silent, then slowly said, "I’ve always seen her as a sister. I had no idea she..."

Liu Ruolai’s feelings became complicated upon hearing this. There was some secret joy, some disappointment, and a suffocating heartache for which she couldn’t find a reason.

She realized she had fallen for Qin Jun, and now that she knew Qin Jun did not have romantic love for Shouxin, she should be happy, but why was her chest hurting so much?

In a daze, an image flashed through her mind. That night, Qin Jun was lying on the ground, disheveled and in a mess, and she seemed to be trying hard to wake him up.

But the image faded quickly, leaving no trace.

"Let’s go!"

Qin Jun shook his head and, saying this, turned to leave the courtyard. He already sensed the presence of Yang Jian and others outside, all waiting.

Liu Ruolai followed Qin Jun blankly, her hands clenched tightly over her heart, tears tracing down her cheeks and eventually dropping onto the stone steps, like a heart shattering upon impact.

...

In Bianhai City, at the edge of a cliff.

Qin Jun and the others formed a line, and Qingtian, in his black robes, hovered in the air, pointing down and saying with a smile, "The Grade-Eight Magical Ship is right below. If you use first-grade spirit stones, it can travel a thousand miles a day, with second-grade spirit stones, it can travel ten thousand miles a day, and with third-grade spirit stones, it can travel a hundred thousand miles a day, but it can only travel a maximum of eight hundred thousand miles a day."

Traveling eight hundred thousand miles in a day!

Everyone exchanged surprised looks, with Zhu Bajie scratching his chin and laughing, "No wonder, why didn’t you make it clear before? You only mentioned traveling a thousand miles a day?"

"Using first-grade spirit stones is the best option. The faster the speed, the more spirit stones it consumes, and it’s not just a simple multiplication," Qingtian explained. Moreover, nobody actually wanted to traverse the Southernmost Sea; a thousand miles a day was already quite fast.

Qin Jun was the first to leap off the cliff, diving over the edge. A huge black ship, a hundred zhang (approximately 330 meters) in length, appeared before his eyes, resembling a giant black shark with a fierce exterior.

On the deck, a thousand slaves were transporting cargo, preparing the ship for sailing.

The rest followed suit, jumping from the cliff onto the ship. It wasn’t too far to the ship, even for Liu Ruolai to make the jump.

Qingtian came alongside Qin Jun and said with a smile, "I have prepared five hundred million third-grade spirit stones for you, master. I hope you will not blame me. Although the academy is wealthy, I cannot use up all the spirit stones. This fortune is all I have."

Five hundred million third-grade spirit stones!

That was the equivalent of five billion second-grade spirit stones!

Five hundred billion first-grade spirit stones!
