Chapter 30
Does the Elixir of Immortality Really Exist?

“Little Brother Chen, have you had another breakthrough?”

Seeing Zhao Chen so excited, Xiao Meng asked.

After her seclusion ended, she naturally discovered that Zhao Chen had already reached the mid-stage of the Innate Realm. He hadn't been at this level before she went into seclusion. Less than half a month later, he'd become a mid-stage Innate Realm expert. Was he even human?

This was a monster.

Back then, her master had said that Little Brother Chen was a natural-born sage, and she hadn't believed it.

Now, she believed it.

So why had he been so mediocre, even a bit mischievous, before he turned three?

She couldn't figure it out, she really couldn't figure it out.

“Hehe, I indeed have new insights. Combining Daoist meditation techniques, my Qi refining techniques have evolved again. I was previously worried about not having follow-up cultivation techniques after completely breaking through, but now I don’t have to worry.

Not only that, but based on Daoist techniques, I've integrated and comprehended the Nine Character Mantra.

It's a perfect balance of internal and external cultivation, with each character having different effects. Xiao Meng, do you want to learn it? I can teach it to you.”

“Really? Thank you, Little Brother Chen!”

Xiao Meng was also a martial arts fanatic, and hearing about a more powerful cultivation technique, she was naturally very interested.

Zhao Chen began to explain the Supreme Daoist Technique, which instantly opened a new door for Xiao Meng.

Could Daoist techniques be used like this?

For example, “Harmony with Light and Dust,” once mastered, could not only merge with nature, but also allow one to shift positions like teleportation.

Unfortunately, the distance was still too short, and there were still too many flaws.

In Zhao Chen's Nine Character Mantra, the character “Walk” represented the ultimate speed, and when cultivated to the extreme, it would be like teleporting through space.

【You explain the Nine Character Mantra to Xiao Meng, you have a new understanding, the Nine Character Mantra cultivation method is simplified to daily life (sitting, lying down, running, walking, jumping, etc.).】

Zhao Chen: …………

Wasn't this just daily life?

Oh well, no need to consciously cultivate, it's great, I like it.

“Little Brother Chen, are these truly the Nine Character Mantra of the Daoist tradition? Each character contains such terrifying power. Why didn't anyone comprehend it before?”

“That's because they hadn't met me before. If they had, they would have comprehended it long ago.”

????

Xiao Meng looked at Zhao Chen in confusion.

How could he be so shameless?

Seeing her gaze, Zhao Chen felt a bit embarrassed. “Ahem…Xiao Meng, do you have any more questions about the Nine Character Mantra?”

“No, I'm going to cultivate.”

“Wait, Xiao Meng, can you contact someone from the Heavenly Sect? Can you bring over some Daoist scriptures? I want to look at them.”

“I understand. I'll contact my senior brother and have him send over all the Daoist scriptures!”

“Alright, go cultivate, but don’t push yourself this time! You need to balance cultivation and rest. Otherwise, you might go into a demonic state. From now on, you can’t cultivate for more than four hours a day. You also need to eat on time, and…”

“Little Brother Chen, I understand. I'm going to contact my senior brother now.”

Unable to bear listening any longer, Xiao Meng instantly teleported away!!

Zhao Chen: …………

Was she that scared?

Was teleporting away necessary?

Hmm??

The way Xiao Meng had just used it seemed like the “Walk” character, or maybe she had combined “Harmony with Light and Dust” with the “Walk” character.

“As expected, she's someone worthy of being personally accepted by Bei Mingzi as his disciple. Her talent is truly strong. I only explained the Nine Character Mantra once, and she's already able to use it simply.

I wonder how powerful I'll be if I cultivate these to the extreme?”

“Young Master, what are you standing here staring at? Where's Xiao Meng sister? Wasn't she guiding you in your cultivation?” A voice interrupted Zhao Chen's daydreaming.

“Yan Fei sister, you're here.”

“Hehe, did you miss your sister?”

“Of course I did.”

“You're still so sweet, little brother.”

“Little brother, this is Yun Zhong Jun. The Eastern Emperor said you wanted to learn about alchemy, and you specifically asked for Yun Zhong Jun. He’s come with us this time.”

“I am Yun Zhong Jun. Greetings, Young Master!”

“You don't have to be so formal.”

“Thank you, Young Master!”

“Yun Zhong Jun, you will stay in the Yin Yang House’s residence for now. When I have time, I will come to you.

Remember, do not interact with anyone besides me. Focus on alchemy, and also, put all the alchemists in Xianyang City under my control. I will have great use for them in the future!”

“I understand, I will retire now.”

“Alright, go.”

“Little brother, you seem pretty imposing, huh?”

“Of course. After all, I’m a prince of the Great Qin. I have to have some dignity, right?”

“So little brother, can you tell me why you want to control those alchemists?”

“Sister, shouldn’t those charlatans be arrested? And also, wasn’t one of the conditions for the Yin Yang House and the Great Qin to cooperate to refine an Elixir of Immortality for my father?

So, sister, tell me, do you think the Elixir of Immortality actually exists?”

Hearing this, Yan Fei fell silent.

She didn't know whether the Elixir of Immortality existed or not, but the Yin Yang House couldn’t possibly refine it. It was all just a bluff to deceive the King of Qin.

She hadn't expected Zhao Chen to expose them so directly.

“Little brother, although the Yin Yang House can’t refine the Elixir of Immortality, we can still make ordinary elixirs. For example, the Transformation Elixir that saved your mother, that took a great deal of effort to refine, and it only lasted for one use. The Eastern Emperor…”

Before Yan Fei could finish, Zhao Chen interrupted her.

“Sister, I know what you’re trying to say, and I also know that the Yin Yang House can’t refine the Elixir of Immortality.

Don’t worry, even if my father knew, I could still ensure the Yin Yang House’s safety.

Yun Zhong Jun and those alchemists will be very useful. The Great Qin army’s transition from cold weapons to firearms depends on them.”

“What does little brother mean? How is alchemy related to the army, and what are cold weapons and firearms?”

“Hehe, you'll understand later, sister. It’s too early to talk about it now.

By the way, sister, did you bring all the martial arts manuals and doctrinal scriptures of the Yin Yang House?”

“They’re all here. I don’t know what the Eastern Emperor was thinking. You asked for all of the Yin Yang House’s scriptures, and he actually agreed.

Little brother, you can’t randomly cultivate these. Many of these techniques are incompatible with each other. Cultivating them will not only be useless but also harmful, understand?”

“Of course I understand. The reason I want to read these scriptures is just to use them as a reference, sister. You know that I have extraordinary talent. Even Soul Wandering Dragon allowed me to comprehend an even more powerful Dragon Control Technique.

And Moon Goddess sister’s star divination skills made me comprehend the 先天八卦 [先天八卦 (primordial trigrams)]

If that’s the case, wouldn’t I be able to comprehend even more powerful martial arts if I reviewed all the scriptures of the Yin Yang House and integrated them all through comprehension?

That’s why I asked for these scriptures.”

“I see. Little brother, it’s good that you understand. The techniques of the Yin Yang House are very powerful, but there are still many problems. Do you know Da Si Ming? She developed problems because of her cultivation, and her hands turned red, which is a side effect.

But sister believes you won’t have any problems.”

“Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry. Even if I didn’t cultivate anything else right now, it’s the same. I just don’t want to waste my talent.”

Zhao Chen’s casual words sounded like bragging to Yan Fei, so she gave him a white eye.

She turned and walked away.

“Sister, tell them to bring all the scriptures in here!!”
