Chapter 1147: Chapter 1167: Who Would Want to Die If They Could Live?_1

"Senior, how is your health recovering?"

When Lin Chen saw Gui Chang, he was having tea with Old Master Chu.

Gui Chang’s voice was full of energy: "I’m recovering quite well. I feel like I can live at least another ten to eight years."

"Let me help you take a look."

Lin Chen put his hand on Gui Chang’s wrist and examined his body for him.

As Gui Chang said, although he had taken many elixirs during this time, his meridians were severely damaged, and combined with the erosion of time, his body had experienced serious decline in various parts. His current state was already the limit of his recovery, and if there were no accidents, Gui Chang could only live for another ten years at most!

Lin Chen took out a Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit and said with a smile, "Eat this, and you can live for a few hundred years without a problem."

Gui Chang’s face changed dramatically, and his eyes were shocked: "Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Senior, you recognize it?"

Gui Chang’s eyes were complicated: "In our era, Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit was the main means of prolonging life, but Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Trees were very rare, and most importantly, their growth cycle was extremely long. It took at least a thousand years for the fruit to mature, and each Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Tree only bore one fruit... I didn’t expect it to still exist after ten thousand years."

Lin Chen placed the fruit in Gui Chang’s hand and said with a smile, "Since Senior knows about it, I don’t need to explain its effects in detail."

Gui Chang’s eyes were complex. Although he had been ice-sealed for ten thousand years and had long been indifferent to death, if he could survive, who would want to die?

This one fruit could prolong his life by at least three hundred years!

More importantly, after eating this fruit, his body would undergo significant recovery, and his strength would return to a normal state, instead of his current disabled state!

The value of the Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit was priceless!

Even in ancient times, when there were still many Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Trees, a single fruit was already extremely valuable, let alone now.

Lin Chen actually took one out for himself!

Gui Chang looked up at Lin Chen: "What do you need me to do for you?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I don’t need anything. You didn’t ask me to do anything for you when you passed on the Great Secret Technique to me."

After a slight pause, Lin Chen glanced at Old Master Chu beside him and said with a smile, "If you insist on a request, I’ve noticed that you’ve been guiding my mother, Han Wei, and the others in their cultivation lately. I’d like to ask you to continue offering them guidance when you have free time."

Gui Chang frowned, "That’s all?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Yes, that’s all."

Gui Chang looked at the fruit in his hand: "As I observed, your grandpa doesn’t seem to have eaten it, right?"

Old Master Chu laughed heartily, "I am not even a cultivator, giving me this fruit would be a waste. Don’t worry about me."

Lin Chen explained with a smile, "Although Grandpa is older, he has just entered the Cultivation World, and there is plenty of spiritual energy and elixirs to supplement him. He can live for another forty or fifty years without any problem. He is now cultivating his foundation. Once he has built his foundation, taking the fruit will have a better effect. If he takes it now, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Gui Chang suddenly understood, "You have more?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I have one more. Right now, you need it the most, then it’s my grandpa. The others are all young and don’t need it."

Seeing this, Gui Chang no longer declined. After all, who wouldn’t want to live healthily for an extra three hundred years?

"Well, I was about to die, but I met a kindred spirit, and I’m making a fortune!"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Since Senior has passed his skills to me, I naturally consider you as an elder and there’s no need to think too much."

Lin Chen giving Gui Chang the Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit was, of course, a well-considered decision.

Although Gui Chang had passed on his skills to Lin Chen, Lin Chen had also saved him, which could be considered as a form of reciprocation and not necessarily required Lin Chen to give him the Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit to prolong his life.

Lin Chen was not sure about Gui Chang’s mentality and conduct as an ancient powerhouse, so he would certainly hold back at first.

In the past few months, Gui Chang had been spending his leisure time with Old Master Chu, playing chess, fishing, and being like old friends. Moreover, he casually guided Lin Chen’s mother Feng Lan, Aunt Feng Yazhen, Han Wei, and Zhou Yin in their cultivation, even teaching them top-notch cultivation techniques.

Under these circumstances, Lin Chen naturally felt at ease to prolong Gui Chang’s life out of gratitude. Furthermore, once Gui Chang recovered his strength, he would become one of the top powerhouses in the world. Having him here would offer a solid backing for his family if they encountered any issues.

Lin Chen also had a better Immortal Yuan Dan, but it was obviously not necessary.

Living an extra three hundred years was more than enough.

If all went well, by then Xuan Ji Fairy would have been resurrected and returned to the Immortal Realm, and Lin Chen and his group should have entered the Immortal Realm as well, which would naturally increase their lifespan greatly.

Even if living an extra three hundred years wasn’t enough, they could always find another way.

Everyone was still so young; time was on their side, so what was there to fear?

Even for Old Master Chu, once he starts cultivating, his lifespan will be greatly increased, and the decades of age difference would not matter at all in cultivators’ eyes.

There were many people who started cultivating in their old age.

Lin Chen bowed to Gui Chang, "My Senior Sister and I will be going to East Emperor State soon. Please take care of our family when we are away!"
