Chapter 2076: 2076: Wanting to Beat Up This Old Man

[Please subscribe!]Immortal Elixir!

Incredibly rare!

No matter the time, the words ’Immortal Elixir’ always evoke a sense of mystery and weight!

In this Martial Arts World, it’s widely known that there exists a Life-extending Immortal Elixir. There were figures at the Emperor Realm with Supreme Divine Power who kept the Life-extending Immortal Elixir by their side throughout their lives, extending their lifespan to live a second life. That is the power of the Life-extending Immortal Elixir!

Even if there’s an Immortal Elixir in the Martial Arts World, it is only the Life-extending Immortal Elixir, which can only be refined by the strong to live a second life. According to records, after using the Life-extending Immortal Elixir once, its effect is significantly less the second time, even to the point of being useless, meaning the Life-extending Immortal Elixir can only allow the strong to live a second life. This is currently the only somewhat "Eternal Life" way in the Martial Arts World!

Thus, the old man squatting at the end of the small market actually shouted he was selling "Immortal Elixir," and it was the kind that could make one immortal and ascend to the skies upon consumption. Even a fool could hear that it was definitely a scam; anyone who believed it would be an idiot!

If one truly had obtained the "Immortal Elixir," only a madman would take it out to sell, and only a madman would dare to sell it!

Ye Tianchen paused in front of the old man’s stall, looking at the two items resembling sweet potato roots on the ground. Princess Zi Xuan froze for a moment, and hurriedly whispered, "You won’t believe those words, will you? Don’t waste your time here!"

"I don’t really believe it; I’m just curious. Forget it, let’s go!" After thinking for a moment, Ye Tianchen turned and prepared to continue walking forward!

But who would have thought!

Just at that moment, the old man who was shouting about selling "Immortal Elixir," seeing Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan ready to leave, acted indifferently, propped up his legs, and muttered to himself, "Goods are sold to those who recognize their value. Without recognition, it’s pointless; won’t be sold!"

This statement left Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan a bit stunned and even somewhat annoyed. The old man’s temperament was really bad, clearly peddling fake medicine, yet acting like he couldn’t find someone who recognized its worth; it was truly frustrating!

"This old man’s mental state must have issues, clearly selling fake medicine and speaking as if it were real. Does he really think someone is an idiot?" Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t help but speak.

"Young girl, is any among the multitude truly not an idiot? Are there truly intelligent ones? Even if there are, they’re just people who think they’re smart!" The old man suddenly smiled and said.

"Tell me, old man, is there truly an Immortal Elixir in this world? One that makes one immortal and soar into the skies if consumed? Do you believe this yourself? Why don’t you consume it yourself instead of selling it? Is there anything more precious than an Immortal Elixir?" Princess Zi Xuan asked grumpily.

The old man glanced at Princess Zi Xuan, then pointed to the two sweet potato-like root items on the tattered cloth in front of him, saying calmly, "Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, whether it can become a real Life-extending Immortal Elixir doesn’t depend on its own nature, but rather on the one who obtains it. If you want it to become a Life-extending Immortal Elixir, you can certainly make it happen!"

"You mean that if one’s Divine Skills are strong enough, ordinary Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass can be transformed into Immortal Elixir, right? Let me ask you, if one truly possesses such skills, wouldn’t they have already become Immortal? Why would they need Immortal Elixir then?" Princess Zi Xuan asked with extreme frustration.

"For fun!" The old man hesitated for a long time before saying this, almost inciting Princess Zi Xuan to beat him up!

The old man’s words left Ye Tianchen confused, even feeling amused and helpless. It seemed the old man didn’t know what an Immortal Elixir was or what it signified; perhaps he was just a madman!

It’s imaginable, if someone truly strong enough could transform ordinary Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass into a real Life-extending Immortal Elixir with a wave of their hand, how terrifying and exaggerated that would be. Even a peerless figure at the Emperor Realm, controlling the Heavenly Vault of the entire Martial Arts World, couldn’t achieve that, right? After achieving that, would they even need an Immortal Elixir to extend life? They would have already been in an undying state!

What’s even more important is that the old man actually said transforming ordinary Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass into Life-extending Immortal Elixir was just for fun, which nearly drove people to collapse. How precious is Immortal Elixir? Using it just for fun, those four words had never been heard before, and only a crazed old man could speak such words!

"You’re insane; you’re a mentally ill old man!" Princess Zi Xuan said as she couldn’t hold back her anger.

"In this Martial Arts World, which creature isn’t insane? Pursuing things even they don’t know, all just going with the flow pursuing things, all a bunch of lunatics!" The old man shook his head and said.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, I really don’t want to stay here for another minute, this old man is too infuriating, I might be tempted to punch him!" Princess Zi Xuan said, showing a somewhat hot temper.

However, at this moment, Ye Tianchen squatted down and looked at the old man, saying, "Senior, I sincerely seek your advice on a few matters!"

"Don’t ask for advice just yet. First, buy the root of these two Immortal Medicines, then I’ll consider whether to answer your questions!" The old man interrupted Ye Tianchen.

"I don’t know, Senior..." Before Ye Tianchen could speak, Princess Zi Xuan stopped him and directly said to Ye Tianchen, "Are you crazy? Bewitched? Really believe this old man’s words? And you want to buy this whatever thing..."

"I know what I’m doing, don’t worry!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Princess Zi Xuan truly felt that Ye Tianchen was crazy, even thinking Ye Tianchen had a problem with his intelligence. Clear as day this was a scam, deceptive talk, yet Ye Tianchen still seemed to believe it; she genuinely wondered if there was something amiss with his intelligence!

Ye Tianchen ignored this and squatted down again, looking at the old man and asked, "I wonder how much Senior is selling these two Immortal Medicine roots for?"

"No gold, no silver!" The old man said calmly.

"Do you want Original Spirit Stones?" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

"Original Spirit Stones are important, but not the most important thing to me. All you need to do is accompany me to a place!" The old man looked at Ye Tianchen with a mysterious gaze.

"It’s not a dangerous place, is it?" Ye Tianchen asked.

"If you’re too afraid to go, then forget it, I won’t answer your questions, and as for these two Immortal Medicine roots, you’ll never get them!" The old man said with a look of regret.

Ye Tianchen thought for a moment; he naturally felt this old man was unreliable and speaking nonsense, yet he had a gut feeling that the old man did know some secrets, like someone who deliberately played foolish. As the small market was nearing its end, Ye Tianchen still wanted to give it a try, not wanting to miss any opportunity!

However, the old man stated that he wasn’t asking for gold, silver, or the Original Spirit Stones essential for Martial Artists’ cultivation, he simply wanted Ye Tianchen to accompany him to a place. As long as Ye Tianchen dared to go, he would answer Ye Tianchen’s question, which was truly odd!

"So, do you have the courage?" The old man asked Ye Tianchen with a smile seeing his hesitation.

"I’ll buy these Immortal Medicine roots, I’ll go wherever you want to go!" Ye Tianchen said resolutely.

"Good courage, but let me make it clear first, I don’t like forcing people, the place I’m taking you is very dangerous, you might end up in a doomed state, think carefully!" The old man said calmly.

"You’re not afraid, why would I be?" Ye Tianchen retorted.

"Then it’s settled, these two Immortal Medicine roots are a gift from me to you. If you survive after going to that place, I will answer any of your questions!" The old man said with a smile.

"Hold on a minute, what if you don’t know what we want to ask? That would mean we’re wasting our energy for nothing, even accompanying you on an adventure!" Princess Zi Xuan interjected.

The old man glanced at Princess Zi Xuan, and then at Ye Tianchen, posing with the demeanor of a worldly-wise sage, said, "Haha, wanting to ask something, meeting me, the old man here is a great fortune for you all; I’m Bai Xiaosheng of the rivers and lakes. I may not know everything in the Barbaric Forbidden Land, but there’s certainly nothing in this Southern State that I’m unaware of. The fact that I’m even willing to tell you is already giving you face, whether or not you believe it, is up to you all!"

At this moment, while both Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan were hesitating, a burly man appeared beside them, clutching a steel fork, and directly reproached the old man, "You crazy old fool, you’ve come to set up a stall here again today, courting death, aren’t you?"

"Haha, haha, I’m just conducting legitimate business!" The old man chuckled awkwardly.

"Legitimate business? What exactly are you selling today?" The burly man with the steel fork questioned coldly.

"Oh, it’s radish roots, just with some dirt on them!" The old man quickly greeted with a smile.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, both Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan felt a sense of frustration, and a surge of anger, wanting to beat up the old man. It was truly infuriating; the old man appeared so earnest in front of them, now, exposed by the burly man with the steel fork, directly spat out the truth; turns out these so-called Immortal Medicine roots were just ordinary radish roots...(to be continued.
