Chapter 7: Yixiu Master, See You Again in Eighty Years
After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, the System's voice also rang out in Chen Changsheng's mind.
"Since the Host has doubts in their heart, why not go find the truth themselves?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng rolled his Bai and waved his hand, saying.
"Stop messing around, how could I do something so dangerous to myself?"
"If something goes wrong accidentally, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"Moreover, I don't want to be chased and killed my entire life like this Blood Demon Ancestor."
"Host, what I mean is, you can find the safest and most reliable method."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
"The safest, the most reliable, is there such a method?"
"Why does the Host think there isn't? Nothing in this world is ever unchanging."
"The reason the Blood Demon Ancestor chose this method of seeking quick success and instant benefits was because his Lifespan was nearing its end at that time."
"But you, the Host, are different; you possess nearly infinite Lifespan."
"With accumulation over time, this problem might not be unsolvable."
Facing the System's answer, Chen Changsheng tilted his head in thought and said, "That makes sense. Time might seem weak and powerless, but it is the sharpest blade in this world."
"Whether you are a Transformation Old Ancestor or a divine weapon, none can withstand the erosion of time."
"Everything becomes insignificant before time, and this small Cultivation problem is naturally no exception."
Artificial Spiritual Roots were another hypothesis proposed by the Blood Demon Ancestor; he wanted to implant external objects into a Human body to form the existence of Spiritual Roots.
However, this method still had many unsolved problems.
For example, what kind of natural treasures are suitable to serve as Spiritual Roots, and how can those natural treasures avoid being absorbed by the body and instead transform into Spiritual Roots?
However, facing these problems, Chen Changsheng was not in a hurry to solve them, because he had a lot, a lot of time.
After chatting with the System for a couple more sentences, Chen Changsheng crawled into the coffin he often slept in.
After being busy for three months, he needed to get some good rest now.
......
The matter of collecting the Blood Demon Ancestor's body did not cause any commotion.
Chen Changsheng began his calm and solitary days once again.
However, it is worth mentioning that the kind-hearted Little Monk would always come to find Chen Changsheng every few days.
Sometimes it was to ask Chen Changsheng to collect bodies for Humans, and sometimes it was to share his Cultivation insights with Chen Changsheng.
However, what the two discussed the most was Buddha Dharma.
For the past few decades, Chen Changsheng had been reading books, from Buddhism scriptures and Daoism classics to folk tales and vulgar novels.
As long as it was something that contained knowledge, Chen Changsheng did not let it go.
Combined with his fifty years of experience walking among Humans, Chen Changsheng mostly won their debates on Dharma.
......
"Chen Changsheng, today this poor monk must debate with you for three hundred rounds!"
A bald man wearing a monk's robe stepped through the coffin shop's door.
Seeing the visitor's casual appearance, Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said indifferently.
"You are, after all, the successor of Tianfo Temple, the Yixiu Master in everyone's mouth."
"If Humans saw you like this now, wouldn't they laugh?"
Facing Chen Changsheng's words, Yixiu rolled his Bai, then casually sat on a coffin and said.
"Let them laugh if they want to laugh."
"Even if they praise me to the heavens, it can't change the fact that I've lost for twenty years."
That's right, this Monk Yixiu before him was precisely the Little Monk who asked Chen Changsheng to collect the Blood Demon Ancestor's body back then.
Years passed by, and twenty years vanished in the blink of an eye.
The former Little Monk had already become a capable young talent who could handle things on his own.
Hearing Yixiu's complaint, Chen Changsheng put down the book in his hand and said, "Listening to you, does that mean you still want to debate Dharma with me today?"
"Of course, what else would I come to find you for if not to debate Dharma with you?"
"Among the Humans I know, only you can compete with me in Buddha Dharma."
"But then again, your Cultivation talent is truly awful."
"Twenty years ago, you were at Qi Condensation level three, and now you are at Qi Condensation level four. Your Realm growth speed is simply too slow."
"I'm really worried that one day you'll accidentally kick the bucket. Who will I find to debate Dharma with then!"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Cultivation talent is not something I can decide; what can I do about it?"
"If you don't have Cultivation talent, I can help you!"
"Although I can't change the fact that you don't have Spiritual Roots, extending your Lifespan is not a problem."
"You always refuse to tell me how long you've lived. I really don't want to lose a friend like you."
Facing Yixiu's words, Chen Changsheng only responded with a smile and did not give a direct answer.
The biggest advantage of being in the Cultivation World is not having to worry about one's appearance remaining unchanged.
Because Face Preservation Pills are not rare items.
"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor by heaven. Don't take Lifespan so seriously; just let everything take its natural course."
"Today, I don't want to debate Dharma with you. I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
"No help!"
Yixiu very straightforwardly refused Chen Changsheng's request.
"Unless you agree to let me extend your Lifespan."
Looking at Yixiu's stubborn appearance, Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly.
"No problem. If you help me with this, I'll agree to let you extend my Lifespan."
As soon as he said this, Yixiu immediately jumped off the coffin and said excitedly.
"What is it? Just say it, and I, Yixiu Master, guarantee it will be done!"
"You came to Linglong Sect, presumably for the ceremony where 'Chang Sheng Immortal' is taking over as Elder."
"What, you want to go see it too?"
"No," Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I'd like to ask you to give this item to 'Chang Sheng Immortal'."
Saying that, Chen Changsheng took out a tiger-shaped wooden carving from his embrace.
Looking at the item in Chen Changsheng's hand, Yixiu's face immediately twisted.
"Chen Changsheng, don't tell me you like 'Chang Sheng Immortal'."
"This woman isn't interested in matters of Dao Companions at all. You'd better not waste your effort."
"You just need to deliver the item to her hand; no need to say anything extra."
"If you accomplish it, I will agree to extend my Lifespan."
Regarding Chen Changsheng's "troublesome" request, Yixiu was so anxious he scratched his head.
In the end, Yixiu still grabbed the wooden carving from Chen Changsheng's hand and said.
"Let's agree first, I can help you deliver the item, but I cannot mention your name."
"Once the Chang Sheng Immortal's suitors find out about this, you'll likely die a miserable death."
"Okay!"
After receiving Chen Changsheng's reply, Yixiu left the coffin shop with the wooden carving.
Looking at Yixiu's retreating figure, Chen Changsheng softly said, "Little Monk, see you in eighty years."
After speaking, Chen Changsheng embedded several Spirit Stones into the floor.
Immediately, some Formation patterns appeared in the coffin shop. This was a random teleportation Formation that Chen Changsheng had spent ten years setting up.
The teleportation range was unknown, and the teleportation location was unknown.
The purpose of doing this was to prevent anyone from finding his location based on the teleportation Formation.
Buzz!
A flash of light passed, and Chen Changsheng disappeared within the Formation. The random teleportation Formation on the ground was also completely scrapped.
