Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 675: 617·Life Extension!

In Kaihuang’s sleeping quarters, Empress Gudu blew on the spoonful of medicinal soup before handing it to Kaihuang.

Although Kaihuang didn’t want to drink it, he was aware of his own physical condition, so he could only obediently open his mouth, and then Empress Gudu forcefully fed him, ultimately swallowing what was said to be the essence of a long-prepared brew.

After Empress Gudu had finished administering the medicine to Kaihuang, she gave a few instructions and then left.

Empress Dugu was also aware that, although Kaihuang was currently injured, he still had many state affairs to deal with.

And as Empress Gudu left Kaihuang’s sleeping quarters, Pan Hu was always following behind her.

"You, why are you following me again? Why don’t you stay close to Kaihuang?"

Pan Hu lifted his head and glanced at Empress Gudu ahead of him.

"Does Empress Dugu wish for Kaihuang’s injuries to heal quickly? Although Kaihuang is the Imperial Path’s Red Dust Immortal, his cultivation is not high. It can be said that the reason for his current state is solely due to the blessings of the Imperial Path and the Red Dust Immortal Position."

"In this war, Kaihuang was injured, and his foundation was damaged. Ordinary soups and medicinal pills actually make it difficult for his injuries to fully recover."

Hearing this, Empress Dugu glanced at Pan Hu and asked, "Then do you have a method?"

"I dare not say."

The thing Empress Dugu hated the most was this type of half-spoken words.

This meant this guy must know how to help Kaihuang recover from his injuries. If it were anything else, she would have directly ordered someone to behead this dog.

"Speak!"

Upon seeing Empress Gudu getting a bit angry, Pan Hu immediately relayed his method.

"I know a secret technique that can exchange the lifespan of a close person for the lifespan of another, allowing the person who receives the lifespan to be healthy and live long. However..."

"This secret technique is not equal, but exchanges more for less."

Hearing that, Empress Dugu finally understood why Pan Hu hadn’t spoken directly before.

Because it meant that if she wanted Kaihuang’s injuries to heal quickly, even without affecting his foundation, then she would have to sacrifice a lot of her own lifespan.

"I will consider this matter. Once I have thought it over, I will come to find you."

"Yes."

Pan Hu knew that Empress Dugu was tempted.

But Empress Gudu also had her own hesitations.

Yet people are always like this, very few can give everything for someone else with complete selflessness and fearlessness.

The human heart has always been like this.

Meanwhile, Zhang San also left the tavern, waved goodbye to the four youngsters of Legalism, and then went alone to Pharaoh’s residence.

At the moment, in the residence of Pharaoh, the Pharaoh was in the courtyard watching the falling snowflakes.

Snow finally fell in Daxing City.

"Drifting snow fills the heaven and earth, turning back, one’s hair is all white."

At that moment, Mozi, who was carving wood not far away, glanced at the Pharaoh and said coldly, "Why so pretentious?"

Without even turning to look at Mozi, the Pharaoh said, "Some people just don’t have enough culture. They don’t understand what culture is."

"Right, right, right. Who could be more cultured than the people of Legalism? Even Confucianism doesn’t have your level of culture!"

"Oh, when have you become so close with Confucianism? Forgotten how they used to insult you?"

Just as the two old men were about to spar with words, the courtyard gate creaked open.

Zhang San walked in.

"Master, Elder Mozi, I’m here."

The two old men, who a moment before wore expressions as cold as frost, smiled when they saw Zhang San arrive.

After all, this was the future they valued the most!

"Who would have thought you’d find your own Heart Divine Treasure so quickly, even awakening it. Worthy of being my disciple, truly impressive!"

Pharaoh said with pride, his eyes on Zhang San, but his voice was loudly directed at where Mozi stood.

Mozi harrumphed softly.

He thought to himself: What’s there to show off? So what about your disciple? He’s still the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Punishment Sect!

Afterwards, the two old men took Zhang San to a room, caught up briefly, and then began to remove the curse on Zhang San.

The curse of time on Zhang San’s body was attached upon his heart, linking to the Heart Divine Treasure within.

To completely remove it, one would have to make Zhang San lose his heart.

But this ’heart’ is not the physical organ, rather it’s the heart on a spiritual level.

Therefore, it’s only when Zhang San cultivates his Heart Divine Treasure, allowing his heart to materialize, that it can be dealt with.

"Zhang San, relax. Don’t resist. Next, your master and I will enter into your Five Viscera Wheel Seas, and then separate out your Heart Divine Treasure. A sliver of your soul might also be peeled off with it, which could cause you some damage, but it’s at least better than having this curse burn away all your time. Endure it."

"Alrighty!"

The next moment, the soul forces of Mozi and the Pharaoh entered into Zhang San’s body, and then...

Their soul forces were repelled.

Mozi and the Pharaoh exchanged glances, their old faces blushing.

This indicated that they had neither entered with enough speed nor strength to break through the self-defense of Zhang San’s soul force.

Either Zhang San was too nervous and defending himself involuntarily,

Or Zhang San’s soul was too powerful, and they had both been a bit careless.

They could sense that Zhang San’s soul was in a very relaxed state at that moment, so they must have been careless just now.

But no matter, Zhang San didn’t know about this.

The two old men looked at each other, counted down silently, three, two, one, and once again entered Zhang San’s body together.

Then...

They were repelled again.

Zhang San’s soul seemed excessively strong, didn’t it?

Given Zhang San’s current Realm, the strength of his soul might well surpass that of a hundred others in the same Realm combined.

So, the two old men took advantage of the fact that Zhang San was unaware of their failure to enter, and once again they tried with greater intensity to penetrate into Zhang San’s body.

Finally, they barely managed to squeeze into Zhang San’s body this time.

Though both old men felt that Zhang San’s soul force was as strong as that of a thousand people, even far exceeding the normal strength of a thousand people’s souls.

However, once they entered Zhang San’s body, the soul forces of the Pharaoh and Mozi felt like fish returning to water.

After all, the cultivation of the soul isn’t required in the Spiritual Platform Realm, so although Zhang San’s soul was powerful, it hadn’t been cultivated, thus it wouldn’t impact what the two old men aimed to do next.

The two streams of soul force hastened into the Five Viscera Wheel Seas, finding the Heart Divine Treasure within the deepest part of the Seas...

By the time Zhang San’s Heart Divine Treasure was processed, it was already more than two two-hour periods later.

Mozi sealed Zhang San’s Heart Divine Treasure in a wooden box and placed it before Zhang San.

At that moment, Zhang San slowly opened his eyes, indeed feeling that the outside world seemed much slower than before.

In actuality, this was because Zhang San himself had been slowed down before, and now that he had suddenly recovered, everything outside seemed slower to him.

"Zhang San, your Heart Divine Treasure has been properly dealt with. The good news is that you won’t have to worry about the curse anymore. The curse has been sealed in here along with your Heart Divine Treasure. But the downside is... "

Pausing for a moment, Mozi then added, "From now on, your Five Viscera Wheel Seas will forever lack the Heart Divine Treasure. And you, will become a heartless person. This state of being heartless has only existed in legends, so we don’t know how much impact this will have on you."

Zhang San smiled and said softly, "No matter. At the very least, the curse is resolved, and it also dispels a major worry of mine."

"Then this ’heart’, how do you intend to deal with it?" Mozi glanced at the box on the ground.

Curious, Zhang San asked, "If this box is destroyed and the Heart Divine Treasure inside is either destroyed or obtained by others, will it affect me in any way?"

"It’s equivalent to having a piece of flesh cut off from your body, as it has already left you, it naturally won’t affect you. Even if there’s a sliver of your soul force in it, when this now independent Heart Divine Treasure is destroyed, it will only cause a tingling in your soul."

"But if the Heart Divine Treasure is forcefully destroyed, it can cause significant damage. The range of impact is also quite wide."

Zhang San understood and put the wooden box away.

After all, this was a bomb carrying his own aura.

Zhang San even felt that perhaps at times, it could be thrown to harm others.

After thanking the two elders, Zhang San decided to treat them to a good meal at his own restaurant later on.

Just as Zhang San was about to take the two elders to his restaurant, he suddenly heard someone outside reporting that someone from Kaihuang had come looking for Zhang San.

The two old men looked disgruntled, obviously realizing that their meal would likely be postponed.
