There are too many legends about immortals, but once you trace them back, you will find that they are just ejaculations, not immortals.
Especially in this era of brilliant scientific and technological civilization, many life research institutes and major chaebols in Xinxing have dug up old soil in pursuit of immortality, and have found the characters recorded in "The Biography of Immortals" more than once. When the underground palace was first opened, seeing their lifelike bodies was shocking, but after a moment, it would make people sigh. Unfortunately, the legendary people ejaculated into ashes in a very short time, which directly proved that they did not ascend to immortality.
For example, Chixuzi, the real immortal mentioned in "The Biography of Immortals", was found in the old times. The tomb was found as a pool of ashes. There is also Guan Lingyin, whose coffin was dug out and has been placed in the museum as a cultural relic for many years.
Wang Xuan doesn't care whether the immortals are falsified. Today, he learned about the life limit of the alchemists, and this news is important enough for him.
The woman lying in the bamboo boat, as a top-notch alchemist, can live to at least 700 years old, and the upper limit is 950 years old, which is really a long lifespan.
Take the more famous alchemists in history to verify, such as the famous Peng Zu, who is said to have lived to 800 years old, which is indeed in this range.
Wang Xuan was full of confidence at once. If he really set foot in that field one day, he would have enough time to think about the problems after the end of the old art road.
However, after calming down, he also thought of some of the problems.
For example, this woman obviously still has enough lifespan, why is she so anxious to ascend to heaven?
Did something happen back then? Is it related to her personally or to the general environment? He thought of a lot.
"She failed to ascend to heaven, and the reason why she was able to leave her body and retain her vitality before her death is closely related to this thick golden bamboo."
Zhou Yu introduced that the institute named this golden bamboo as the Feathered Divine Bamboo, which contains rich supernatural substances and vigorous life force.
Qian Lei asked: "Do you have any other scientific research plans, experiments in other directions?"
"Indeed, there is another plan, which we named - Immortality Seed."
"Tell me about it." Qian Lei knew that the people in the New Star Research Institute must have some reservations about them, but there would be plenty of time in the future to slowly dig them out.
"Except for the dissipation of the female Taoist's spiritual consciousness, her body is very active, as if she has been sleeping until now. Her physiological age is very young, and she is at the stage of marriage and childbearing."
After hearing this, even the two very stable masters from the military were shocked and dumbfounded, thinking that the researchers of New Star were too crazy!
Qian Lei was also in a daze, and subconsciously quickly held up his black-framed glasses, as if he was afraid that they would fall off. He couldn't help asking: "You mean, after three thousand years, let the female Taoist priest give birth to a child?!"
"Yes, she is the person we have found who is truly close to immortality, breaking the limit of the ceiling of human life. The genetic material she left to future generations is definitely extraordinary and worth experimenting."
Zhou Yu had a fanatical look on her face, even more excited than when she said she wanted to dissect the female Taoist priest. She couldn't help but wave her arms vigorously.
As the head of a department of the expedition organization, Qingmu was usually calm and composed, but now he was a little shocked. He suddenly felt that once the gentle scientific researchers became "enthusiastic", they were more terrifying than him.
Wang Xuan: "..." He really felt a little stupid. This is okay? He couldn't rest in peace for three thousand years after death, and he had to get pregnant and give birth to a child.
He made up his mind that if he didn't follow the old technique, he would definitely burn himself to death when the deadline came.
He now seriously doubted that other top alchemists had foreseen this day when they finally transformed and burned themselves.
Qian Lei was very serious and said, "This experiment cannot be carried out at this stage."
Zhou Yu, as one of the project leaders, had a lot of say, but she didn't mean to insist on it. She nodded and said, "We didn't plan to start it in the near future. Although the mother body is strong enough, we can't find a suitable father body. Let's wait ten years. If a suitable person appears on the road of new techniques, we can consider it. As for the old techniques, forget it. There will never be a person like the pre-Qin alchemists. This road is becoming increasingly unworkable in this era, and the effect is slow and not universal."
Wang Xuan sighed secretly. The female alchemist finally avoided a disaster in her life temporarily, but he immediately shook his head again. People are dead, and honor, disgrace, rise and fall are meaningless to her.
Qian Lei talked with Zhou Yu and other new star leaders for a long time here. When he left, he asked to take a piece of the feathered bamboo back for research.
Zhou Yu and his team seemed to have expected this, and generously gave him the cut bamboo strip.
Qingmu was not calm anymore, and wanted to organize his words to ask for a piece of golden bamboo on behalf of the expedition organization, but before he could open his mouth, the people from Xinxing took the initiative to talk about it.
"We can no longer cut branches of the Feathered Bamboo from the bamboo boat. We are worried that it will seriously affect the activity of the bamboo boat, and it may even endanger the stability of the female Taoist priest's body. In this case, all experiments will go wrong and can no longer be carried out."
Qingmu was speechless. The other party blocked all the roads. If he continued to beg for it, it would be destroying the overall situation here and hindering the experiment.
Zhou Yu apologized, and then gave him a golden leaf, indicating that this was the only way.
Qingmu felt very uncomfortable. He looked at the piece of bamboo in Qian Lei's hand, and then looked at the leaf in his palm. There was no shame without comparison.
"Forget it." He could only comfort himself in this way.
Wang Xuan said, "Excuse me, can I take a few stones from this cave?"
The people present were surprised, and the people from Xinxing looked puzzled.
Wang Xuan immediately explained, "I am a person who follows the old art path. I admire the predecessors. To me, the immortality is like a myth. I am very satisfied to be able to witness this kind of relics with my own eyes, but I still want to take a few pieces of broken stones from the scene as a souvenir to spur myself. The old art path is feasible, and I can reach the realm of immortality and be close to immortality!"
Qingmu was surprised. He knew Wang Xuan and knew that he was not very respectful of the immortals. He changed his temper today? He actually wanted to take a few stones to display.
The middle-aged man from the military smiled. He was a very powerful master of the old art. He nodded and said, "You are a good young man. You are a martial arts fanatic. You are very similar to me when we were young. Let's keep in touch. Although I have begun to transform into the new art, I have not completely given up the old art. If you have any questions, you can come to me and we can have a good chat."
Wang Xuan immediately smiled sincerely, expressed his gratitude, and took the initiative to exchange contact information with him. Of course, he left the mobile phone number that was specially used to connect with the expedition organization.
Seeing that he was like this, the project leader of Xinxing and other scientific researchers nodded with an indifferent attitude when they saw that he was like this and someone from the military spoke again.
In fact, they had already searched this place. The female Taoist priest did leave some artifacts, but they were almost burned, and there was nothing else of value.
Moreover, they had used the most advanced instruments to detect dozens of times, and there was no interlayer in the cave, nor any other special substances and energy.
Wang Xuan was very casual, and he took a few stones from the cracked cave wall with his bare hands. His strength surprised the people of Xinxing.
Although the cave had been cleaned, there were still traces of charring between the cracks. It didn't look like it was burned by the feather, but rather like it was struck by lightning.
Wang Xuan had a blank expression on his face. He took a total of six stones, and then he stepped back silently, looking quiet, but in fact he was very excited.
Qingmu sighed: "I am also a person who practices the old art, but unfortunately I am not competitive. Although I worship the predecessors, I am not strong enough. I have to take the road of new art. Take two stones away as a souvenir."
What can the people of Xinxing say? They only gave him a leaf. They can't be partial to one stone and not the other, right?
"Alas, our old road has come to an end. From now on, we can only hope for the new art." The middle-aged man in the military stepped forward, quite sad, and also took two stones.
"How pathetic!" Jinchuan sighed, walked over silently, and put two fist-sized stones into his arms.
Wang Xuan was stunned, but he was sure that these three people actually knew nothing, but they followed him to do this. Are they monkeys or just following the trend?
The people from Xinxing laughed. Want to take advantage of them? It's ridiculous. This cave is almost full of flowers. It has been tested hundreds of times. If there are really valuable things, will they keep them for you?
"You!" Qian Lei sighed and shook his head.
Qingmu, Jinchuan, and the middle-aged man in the military were slightly embarrassed and a little embarrassed. Everyone was a wise man.
Qian Lei took the lead and turned away. Soon they took the elevator back to the surface and were sent out of the Grand Canyon by a small spacecraft.
"Little brother, I see you brought out a lot of stones. I suddenly remembered that if my comrades asked me for them, I only have two pieces on me, which is not enough. Can you give me one or two more?" The middle-aged man in the army looked at Wang Xuan with a sincere look.
Wang Xuan sighed. This guy was so polite earlier. He was a martial arts fanatic and looked like him when he was young. He said a lot, but it turned out that he was grateful to him in vain.
Qian Lei adjusted the frame of his glasses and said, "Little brother, give me a piece too. After all, it is a rock from the Yuhua explosion site. I need to take it back to find a specialist for testing."
Wang Xuan was speechless. Sure enough, they were not simple characters, but all drama queens!
However, he didn't care. He had anticipated certain possibilities. He took a few more stones, but he only cared about two of them.
Therefore, he didn't say anything and silently threw one to the middle-aged man and Qian Lei. Seeing Qingmu also opened his mouth, looking embarrassed, he took the initiative to throw a piece over.
Jinchuan immediately said, "Brother, we belong to the same expedition organization..."
Before he could finish, Wang Xuan refused directly, saying, "No!" Of course, he did not forget to add, "You intercepted me last time!"
Jinchuan was choked and wanted to correct him that it was interception, but he finally shut up and turned away, not wanting to take the initiative to get angry.
Wang Xuan looked at the group of middle-aged men and said, "Are you thinking too much? I really want to bring it back to display it, and I want to remind myself all the time that the old skills can be very strong. What are you thinking?!"
"Haha, it's life experience!" The middle-aged man in the military was very calm and didn't add drama this time.
"Let's go, retreat, it's time to go home!" Qingmu patted his shoulder.
Not long after, they boarded the spacecraft and returned smoothly. Although this mission was safe, Wang Xuan had already begun to retreat and didn't want to put his fate on someone else's chessboard.
At the moment, he was not in a bad mood, but very excited. He was holding the stone and wanted to return to his residence immediately. Even with his calm personality, he could not hold back. You can imagine the value of the stone.
After Wang Xuan returned to the city, he went straight to his residence without any delay. He could not wait any longer!
