Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 164 - 120: Treasures of Heaven and Earth! Opening Fourteen Meridians!

Chapter 164: Chapter 120: Treasures of Heaven and Earth! Opening Fourteen Meridians!

"What do you mean by that?" Su Que asked.

Li Xuanji replied, "It is said that in ancient times, there were various rare exotic beasts between heaven and earth."

"Among them, dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and black tortoises were the most rare."

"The blood and flesh of these rare exotic beasts have miraculous effects such as extending lifespan, regenerating flesh, and increasing power."

"Later, as humans rose, practicing martial arts, forging exotic soldiers, and hunting these rare exotic beasts, they gradually went extinct."

"Currently, the only surviving rare exotic beasts are kept by some noble and imperial families."

"Thus, these noble and imperial families are able to extract the essence of their blood and flesh for generations."

"The Dragon Spirit Tree is a type of tree that grows where dragons reside."

"The presence of Dragon Spirit Trees on Hongyuan Mountain indicates that dragons once dwelled there."

"Among all the rare exotic beasts, the dragon, phoenix, qilin, and black tortoise are the most attuned to heaven and earth."

"Wherever they reside is a place full of vitality and an ideal environment for treasures of heaven and earth to grow."

"The Dragon Spirit Tree is one such treasure of heaven and earth."

"Alchemy is about refining and removing impurities from many types of herbs to obtain their essence."

"And the more precious the treasures of heaven and earth, the fewer impurities they have."

"Consuming them directly can yield extremely potent medicinal power."

"Since such a place can produce treasures of heaven and earth, then other precious herbs planted here can naturally also grow."

’So that’s how it is...’

After hearing this, Su Que felt a little shaken inside.

His understanding of this world deepened.

Whether in Jade Water City or in Jiannan Prefecture City, he would often linger in public places, gathering various information about the martial arts world.

In Jiannan Prefecture City, he even befriended a few boastful martial arts academy disciples, trying to learn more about the martial arts of this world from them.

But in the Southern Domain’s Jiannan Prefecture, far from the Central Plains, the information he got was really limited.

Today was the first time he heard that creatures like dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and black tortoises, which existed only in myths from the past, still existed in this world.

’Moreover, these animals can extend lifespan!’

This was what Su Que was most concerned about.

Su Que first tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped the two porcelain bottles, and held them in his hand.

Then he said to the young servant, "Take me to see."

The young servant was supposed to take Su Que over, but was suddenly interrupted by Li Xuanji.

While Su Que and Li Xuanji were talking, he could only stand quietly and wait.

Li Xuanji’s words also shocked him.

He had only heard before that a dragon once dwelled on Hongyuan Mountain.

But he thought it was just a legend, never expecting that such an auspicious beast like a dragon truly existed and was even being kept by people.

He only felt that being so far away in the Southern Domain, he was indeed ignorant and uninformed.

Hearing Su Que call him again, he responded timidly, leading the way upfront.

Su Que followed behind him, walking while thinking.

Apart from these auspicious beasts being able to extend lifespan, what also concerned him was that Li Xuanji knew this information.

It showed that Li Xuanji’s background was not ordinary.

’Li Xuanji once mentioned having a family, could it be that his family is very ancient?’

Su Que speculated in his heart.

As Su Que followed the young servant to the medicinal fields, Li Xuanji and the others also followed along.

Because they couldn’t find any valuable items like secret manuals in Gui Risheng’s deep palace, they all wanted to see the medicinal fields occupied by Zaiyang Sect.

They followed the young servant to the back mountain, arriving at a scenic valley.

The glorious sunlight shone down from the sky.

On the left, seventy percent of the sunlight illuminated several hillsides, creating a bright and splendid scene.

On the right, thirty percent of the sunlight was blocked by a cliff, casting a shadow.

On the hillsides, there were steps that, at first glance, resembled terraced fields.

But they were planted with medicinal flowers and herbs.

The fragrance of flowers and herbs wafted towards Su Que and the others with the wind.

Below the cliff, there were medicinal gardens surrounded by railings.

"What a remarkable place!" Li Xuanji sighed.

"On the hillside, the herbs enjoy the sunlight, while below the cliff, the herbs prefer the shade."

"In just one place, there can be two types of medicinal herbs growing!"

Su Que’s gaze moved from the hillside and below the cliff to the center of the valley.

There he saw a deep pool, quietly lying like a piece of jade.

On the left was the reflection of the sky, while on the right, the shadow of the cliff.

’Was there once a dragon here?’ Su Que wondered.

He looked intently at the deep pool, but the green water prevented him from seeing the bottom.

The surface of the pool was very calm, with only slight ripples stirred by the breeze. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

He then moved his gaze aside.

Beside the deep pool stood three towering trees, spread like canopies.

Though it was now the dead of winter, with vegetation withering away and a bleak atmosphere all around.

These three trees stood in stark contrast to their surroundings.

Their leaves remained as green as ever, faintly emitting a glow.

"Master, these are the Dragon Spirit Trees," the young servant said, leading Su Que over.

Su Que walked under the three trees and looked up.

He saw no fruit on the three trees.

"Do these Dragon Spirit Trees bear fruit?" Su Que asked.

The young servant replied, "Yes, they do."

"When do they bear fruit?"

"Over a month ago."

Su Que asked, "Where are the fruits?"

The young servant replied, "The fruits were all moved to Gui Risheng’s deep palace. After so much time, I guess he has finished them all."

’What a waste...’

Su Que thought to himself.

Old eunuch Gui Risheng sat with these three treasures of heaven and earth for years, and all the harvest this year was eaten by him.

Yet even after practicing martial arts to such an extent, he couldn’t withstand a single move.

"Then how do you extract the sap from these Dragon Spirit Trees?" Su Que continued to ask.
