Chapter 1 The Seed of Immortality
Twenty-three years of Tianwu, late October.
Daliang Palace.
"Don't! Don't lay me off, boss, I haven't paid off my mortgage yet..."
A young man who was sleeping on his back with an ancient book covered on his face suddenly trembled and woke up from a nightmare.
The ancient book slipped down, revealing his handsome face.
Sixteen or seventeen years old, with long black hair scattered on his shoulders, eyes like stars, skin as white as jade, wearing a black eunuch uniform, although there is no embellishment at all, he is only the lowest level of the eunuch system, but his spine is straight and still has A certain temperament cannot be underestimated.
Su Chen was silent for a while, looking at the huge library in front of him that covered an area of thousands of square meters on the first floor alone, and said nothing for a long time.
"What the hell..."
"In my last life, I worked overtime and died suddenly, and this dog leader dared to pester me in my dream, asking me to go back and see if I don't kill him Tooth knocked out.”
Su Chen took a sip of tea, cursed, and calmed down.
He is a time traveler. Three months ago, as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them, he saw an old eunuch holding a knife and smiling ferociously walking towards him.
He was frightened.
But he was lucky. He happened to catch up with the turmoil in the imperial city and assassins entered the palace. Taking advantage of the chaos, he escaped the punishment of castration and preserved his dignity as a man.
In order not to discover the identity of the fake eunuch, he deliberately made a mistake and was sent to this cold palace, which can be called an eunuch, and a library where no mice come.
This dynasty is called Daliang and has been in existence for more than 300 years. It is now in the final years of the dynasty, which is in turmoil.
The emperor was unkind, extravagant and indulgent, there were constant natural and man-made disasters, demons and ghosts were rampant in the world, and there were countless rebellious people. But there are practitioners in this world, and one person's power can suppress all groups. The royal family's three hundred years of accumulated spiritual experience allow the dynasty to still barely support itself.
Peasant uprisings have been suppressed many times, only to rise and fall again; the noble families are still afraid of the power of God, dare not make mistakes, and are reluctant to set off the final chapter of chaos in the world.
However, secretly, there are still many powerful cultivating forces, either secret sects or hermit sects, who want to change the dynasty. The original owner is a hidden piece of chess inserted into the palace.
But these have nothing to do with Su Chen.
In this second life, he only lives for himself. Everyone is mortal, and he just wants to live forever.
The goal of immortality is too ambitious. Now he just wants to stay in the library and wait for the seeds of immortality to change, grow roots, and bear fruits.
"When will it take root and bear fruit?"
Su Chen closed his eyes and his vision went dark, but in this darkness, there was a little seed of light, like the light of a firefly, and Like a bright sun.
This is a seed.
On the first day of time travel, it appeared in his consciousness, making him clearly aware of the heaven-defying effects of this seed.
This is a seed of immortality.
As time goes by, it will take root in Su Chen's consciousness, grow branches and leaves, and blossom and bear fruit.
Every time he grows, he will feed Su Chen endless blessings.
Su Chen doesn’t need to do anything, he just needs to wait quietly for the seeds of immortality to take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit.
The moment the seed of immortality arrived, he was already a special being who broke free from the shackles of longevity and became immortal.
Of course, immortality is just immortality. He is not immortal. He will die as long as he is killed.
Therefore, after receiving the seed of immortality, Su Chen decided to live in seclusion, be kind to others, and reduce the possibility of murder.
Immortality is his path, and he can also practice the cultivation methods to protect the Tao and immortality. Unfortunately, his talent for cultivation is too weak.
“Alas, I haven’t started yet.”
"Who told me about this "Manniu Qi"? Just by meditating, even a fool can give birth to the first ray of Qi?"
After practicing for three months, Su Chen felt something. Humiliated, he angrily threw out the "Manniu Qi" in his hand.
There are two ways to practice in the world.
One kind of body cultivation, the other kind of gathering Qi, that is, horizontally practicing external skills and internal skills, which are roughly one to five levels, the two great master realms of acquired and innate.
First grade is the highest, fifth grade is the lowest, and the Grandmaster is only in legends.
It is difficult for him to even enter the fifth level.
"Let me see, which practicing novice is taking advantage of the classics to vent his anger? This is already one of the best skills of the Inner Palace Shangwu Bureau."
A slender hand will Picked up "Manniu Zhenqi".
Soon.
A young eunuch in blue robes who was tall, handsome, and had deep eyes walked in. He looked at Su Chen with a smile, and was carrying roast chicken and old wine in his other hand.
Zhang Gui of the Shangwu Bureau, a peak double fifth rank, the leader among the young eunuchs, is also Su Chen's few, or even only, friend.
"Are you here?"
Su Chen immediately ran all the way to greet him. In this nine-story library, far away from the palace, it is very clean, but he eats white rice steamed buns every day, which is not fishy at all. No, even gods can't stand it. "This Baijiu is still delicious."
"Enough to be a friend."
Su Chen drank old wine and ate roast chicken, talking vaguely.
That day, the palace was in turmoil, and an assassin killed the king. Near the imperial study, he found Zhang Gui who was seriously injured and dying, and carried him out from the pile of dead people.
Since then, the two have become good friends.
Zhang Gui's talent was much better than his. He entered the palace three years ago and was so talented that he was adopted as his godson by a peak fourth-level Martial Arts Bureau manager on the spot.
Three years have passed, and he is already a master of the physical path, the qi path, and both are at the peak of the fifth level.
Then up.
Once you reach the fourth rank, you are ready to serve as a eunuch of the Shangwu Bureau, which has a much higher power and status than ordinary eunuchs.
His entry into the library was all thanks to Zhang Gui's help. Otherwise, how could he, a low-level black eunuch, have entered the library as he wished, even if he made a deliberate mistake?
“Three months later, I really don’t have any sense of energy at all.”
“You, it seems that you really have no talent at all and have no connection with martial arts, but it doesn’t matter, wait. When I become rich, I can still walk sideways in this harem. When the time comes, I will be the first prisoner in purple robes, and you will be the second prisoner in red robes.”
Zhang Gui put his hands behind his hands, his eyes as deep as a pool, and did not hide his ambition to climb up.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Gui sat next to Su Chen, drinking bowls of white wine and talking about the important events that happened in the harem recently.
The emperor recovered.
In that assassination, the old emperor was seriously injured and nearly died for three months. The Taoist priest came to the palace and gave him a thousand-year-old medicine. Today he finally recovered.
The first thing was to kill many people in the temple. Countless civil servants and generals had their heads dropped to the ground, and everyone in the house was executed.
And the prince was deposed.
Even the first purple-robed eunuch who oversaw the defense of the inner palace was abolished and replaced with another unfamiliar old eunuch from the Tianwu Pagoda who had a rich heritage from the previous emperor's dynasty.
People in the palace are panicking. The purple-robed eunuchs have all been dismounted. The red-robed supervisor and the blue-robed eunuchs in charge will also be affected sooner or later.
"My strength is about to reach the fourth level. By then, I will probably be able to get a blue-robed steward level. By then, I will have a godson. Even if I am not here, you will have someone to deliver Bai Ru wine every day." Eat with roast chicken."
After saying that, Zhang Gui came over eagerly and couldn't help but say.
"Xiao Suzi, the soap you gave me is really useful. I immediately fell in the eyes of Concubine Zhang Gui and ran two errands for her..."
As he spoke, Zhang Gui breathed heavily. Get up, he said a little embarrassed.
“You said before that there is a secret medicine called perfume, which can make the human body have a dark fragrance, the fragrance of flowers blooms, and it is surrounded by a group of saucers, like fairies descending from the fairy palace in the sky...”
“ Concubine Zhang is the old emperor’s favorite concubine, you know what I mean.”
Looking at the ambition in Zhang Gui’s eyes, Su Chen felt that he wanted to get ahead too much and would fall into a big trap sooner or later.
"You! If you don't stand out, it will cost you your life. Can't you be like me?" Su Chen felt that the white wine was no longer fragrant. He wiped his hands and motioned for the pen and ink to serve.
“Yes!”
Zhang Gui smiled even more and handed over the pen and paper. He didn’t look like a proud leader of the Shangwu Bureau, he looked like a complete loser.
"Take a tea bowl, put gauze on it, put the petals in water and soak them for more than twelve hours, and then..."
Zhang Gui left with satisfaction.
"It's the end of October."
"Tomorrow will be November, and autumn has begun."
Su Chen walked to the window of the library, watched Zhang Gui leave, and looked at the crowd. The ground is withered and yellow, the leaves are falling, and there is this cold wind. I close my eyes and visualize the seeds of immortality.
On this day, it was the end of the third month since he traveled back in time.
Also at this time.
Click.
The seed of immortality in his consciousness made a crisp sound, and small rhizomes extended. It took root and sprouted, and took the shape of a rhizome.
The seed of immortality sprouted, and its cracked shell nourished Su Chen's body, deriving wisps of Qi.
The energy of immortality.
Today.
His Qi path is at the fifth level.
