“Person Longevity Pill?”
Mo Hua had never heard this term before, and asked, “Can it prolong life?”
Zhang Lan thought for a while and said, “You could say it prolongs life, but then again, it doesn’t prolong life.”
Elder Yu and the others exchanged glances, all a bit confused.
Mo Hua then said, “Uncle Zhang, stop keeping us in suspense.”
Zhang Lan was startled, thought for a moment, then asked Mo Hua, “What is the most important thing for a cultivator?”
“Cultivation?” Mo Hua thought for a bit and answered.
“No,” Zhang Lan shook his head, “Cultivation is the root of a cultivator, but more important, actually, is lifespan. Only with lifespan can you pursue cultivation, can you seek longevity.”
“The so-called longevity is actually the extreme, eternal lifespan.”
Mo Hua understood, “Simply put, no matter what a person does, they must first be alive. If there is no life, naturally nothing is left.”
“It’s also correct for you to think this way,” Zhang Lan said, “Even the most powerful cultivator must first be alive. Without lifespan, they cannot live on. Even if their cultivation reaches heaven and earth, their body will inevitably die and their dao will vanish.”
Mo Hua said, “So cultivators will try every way to prolong life?”
Zhang Lan nodded and said, “The saying ‘prolong life’ is actually not correct. Heaven has its constants, cultivators have their fate. When the great limit arrives, lifespan is exhausted. No matter what you do, it is hard to escape death.”
“But some pills or techniques can indeed prolong life…” Mo Hua said doubtfully.
Although Mo Hua had not personally seen pills or techniques that “prolong life,” they were often recorded in cultivation classics and were not considered a new thing.
“That’s why I just said, these so-called ‘prolonging life’ are not truly ‘prolonging life,’” Zhang Lan said.
Mo Hua listened attentively, waiting for Zhang Lan to continue speaking.
Zhang Lan’s face was solemn as he continued:
“A cultivator whose great limit is approaching cannot extend their life. This is the limit of the Heavenly Dao. What cultivators call prolonging life is usually one of two situations.”
“One is through techniques or pills, regulating the body and meridians, removing excess, eliminating illnesses, and prolonging lifespan.”
“But in this situation, the cultivator’s great limit has not yet arrived, their lifespan is not exhausted. This kind of prolonging life, the prolonged lifespan, was originally the cultivator’s own, so it is not worth mentioning extending life.”
“And once a cultivator’s great limit truly arrives, and the Heavenly Dao has set the limit, they must die without doubt. If they want not to die, they can only walk on the path of evil demons, cultivate various forbidden techniques, and refine various forbidden pills.”
“The Person Longevity Pill is precisely one kind of forbidden pill among them.”
Mo Hua’s heart turned cold, and he asked, “To refine the Person Longevity Pill, do you need to kill many people?”
Zhang Lan nodded, “The Person Longevity Pill is difficult to refine, it requires killing many people.”
“Refining a person pill to continue life is equivalent to using people to enter the pill, borrowing life from others. But this kind of matter that violates the Heavenly Dao is extremely difficult. It is possible to spend a lot of effort, and one person can only borrow a little life. This then requires accumulating little by little, killing many people to continue one’s own life…”
Mo Hua’s heart was startled, and he gradually understood:
“The Human Dao damages the insufficient to serve the surplus, it is all about exploiting others to benefit oneself…”
“Families and clans grow large by exploiting spirit stones; the Dao Court is respected by exploiting power; evil demons and outsiders are even more cruel, some drink blood, exploiting blood; some absorb essence, exploiting spirit power; and refining this Person Longevity Pill is precisely directly exploiting people’s lives…”
Zhang Lan was startled to hear these words, then said, “Who told you these words?”
Mo Hua scratched his head, “Isn’t it like this?”
Zhang Lan wanted to say it wasn’t, but vaguely felt that this was indeed the principle, only for a while, it was hard to sort out his thoughts.
Elder Yu was also slightly surprised and involuntarily looked towards Mo Shan.
Mo Shan shook his head, meaning I didn’t teach him, he also didn’t know why Mo Hua could say these words.
Mo Hua thought for a moment and again asked Zhang Lan:
“If it’s a truly refined person pill, then could this pill be refined for the big boss?”
Zhang Lan was still frowning, thinking about Mo Hua’s words. At this time, hearing this, he remembered that the most important thing currently was still the matter of Hei Shan Zhai, then speculated:
“That big boss is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. A Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator only has three hundred years of lifespan, middle and late stage have a bit longer lifespan, but only four hundred years. So calculating, that big boss is estimated to be approaching the great limit, so he established a stronghold in the deep Hei Shan, gathered evil cultivators, killed people and robbed goods, and refined pills to continue his life…”
“These behaviors are all prohibited by the 《Dao Fa》, right?” Mo Hua said.
“Correct, basically all are great crimes punishable by beheading, dismemberment, or even execution by array.”
Zhang Lan sighed, but his expression also relaxed a bit, “Refining a person pill is something that angers heaven and resents humans. Once it is reported, the Dao Court will definitely attach great importance and will definitely dispatch Dao soldiers to exterminate this group of evil cultivators!”
Elder Yu and the crowd also all relaxed a breath.
If it was truly like this, the matter of exterminating Hei Shan Zhai would not be that troublesome.
Mo Hua thought for a bit and again asked:
“This group of evil cultivators are so low-key, aren’t they also afraid that these behaviors will be exposed, alerting the Dao Court, and they will be surrounded and annihilated by Dao soldiers?”
Zhang Lan thought for a moment and nodded, “Very possible, however…”
Immediately, Zhang Lan thought of another problem and asked Mo Hua:
“Refining a person pill is an absolute secret, and the pill room for refining a person pill is even more of a forbidden area. None of this can be known by outsiders. How exactly did you get in?”
Elder Yu and the others all looked at Mo Hua curiously.
“It was nothing, I just took advantage of the third boss going out, and I hid my body and slipped in.”
Mo Hua said it lightly.
“Then what?”
Zhang Lan asked again, he knew that this matter was absolutely not so simple.
“Then I was delayed by something and ran into the third boss…”
The crowd’s expressions suddenly changed, and Mo Shan’s heart trembled even more, his expression worried.
“Running into a Foundation Establishment evil cultivator, and you can still come out alive?” Zhang Lan said somewhat shocked, “How exactly did you get out?”
“The third boss sent me out,” Mo Hua said.
Zhang Lan didn’t believe it: “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Mo Hua said, “It’s true.”
Zhang Lan said, “Is he crazy?”
“He’s not crazy, but he might have thought wrong, so he misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood what?”
“Misunderstood that I am an old monster who has possessed a body.”
“Possession?” Zhang Lan was shocked and involuntarily asked, “Why?”
Mo Hua tried to appear humble, but still inevitably said with some pride:
“Probably because my divine sense is strong.”
Zhang Lan was startled, “I know your divine sense is strong, but it’s not to the point of…”
As he was speaking, Zhang Lan suddenly felt his divine sense move, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in disbelief: “Your divine sense…”
Elder Yu heard this and also released his divine sense. In an instant, after staring with wide eyes, he suddenly stood up.
He had not noticed it just now, until this time when divine sense was mentioned, he then released his divine sense and took a peek at Mo Hua.
But after only peeking for a moment, he just couldn’t sit still.
In his divine sense perception, Mo Hua’s whole body was hazy, his aura vague, he simply couldn’t see clearly, and couldn’t touch the virtual or the real.
The stronger the divine sense, the more obscure it is.
This explained that Mo Hua’s divine sense was already strong enough to compare with his, and even hinder his perception!
But how was this possible? He was Foundation Establishment, and Mo Hua was only Qi Refining! This had already broken his cultivation common sense…
Elder Yu’s expression was somewhat horrified, “Your divine sense…”
Mo Hua scratched his head and said awkwardly:
“My cultivation is Qi Refining, but my divine sense is already one step into Foundation Establishment.”
The crowd all sucked in a breath of cold air. In an instant, there was a dead silence in the room.
At the same time, in the deep mountains.
The third boss also murmured, “Qi Refining cultivation, Foundation Establishment divine sense, how is this possible…”
He discovered that something was wrong.
