The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

"Death is the antidote?"

Li Changxiao's pupils shrank, his heart was shocked, and he felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

He looked at Chang Yue.

The dream just now was not completely useless.

At least it allowed Chang Yue to regain a moment of clarity.

And in this moment of clarity, Chang Yue found the antidote to his chronic illness.

That is death!

Death is liberation!

That is at this moment.

The Qingping sword was unsheathed.

Not a single hesitation.

The sword light flashed across.

A long, thin line of blood appeared on Chang Yue's neck.

It seems to be just as Chang Yue said.

The only antidote to this chronic disease is death.

The moment the Qingping Sword passed by, her life had already entered the countdown.

The madness and numbness in her eyes faded away like the tide.

Gradually he became calm, relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Junior brother, thank you." Chang Yue said with a smile.

Li Changxiao's sword was very light and subtle. It was deadly enough but would not kill her immediately.

This is... a luxury for her.

Feeling his life slipping away bit by bit, Chang Yuefei did not panic but smiled instead.

This smile was peaceful and indifferent.

It formed a sharp contrast with the dirty and smelly clothes on his body.

"Senior sister." Li Changxiao found a relatively clean place to sit down and took a sip of wine. "What exactly is the longevity disease? Can you tell me about it?"

He was a little concerned about this.

Chang Yue was completely different from before. She smiled and said, "Of course, but can you give me some wine?"

"Okay." Li Changxiao threw Zui Sheng Meng Si over.

Chang Yue wiped the blood that was slowly flowing from his neck, unscrewed the wine gourd, and took a big gulp.

It was so spicy that I kept coughing.

Blood gushed out of the neck.

Fortunately, Li Changxiao was quick-witted and pointed a finger at the acupoint on her neck, using his spiritual energy to slow down the rate of her blood loss.

"It feels so good." Chang Yue sat down next to Li Changxiao.

She told Li Changxiao.

She was ill, and her illness was called "Long-term Disease".

I was gradually infected with the disease after arriving at Changsheng Cave.

After the spiritual energy is exhausted.

Although the sect had been disbanded, she did not move around, but instead found a cave and lived there.

This depletion of spiritual energy has no end in sight.

She didn't know whether she could survive with her life span.

But, what else can she do?

And so, two hundred years passed.

During that period, Sheng Daren came to visit him once. Although Sheng Daren's temper was not very good at that time, he was still a handsome and elegant young man.

He told Chang Yue that he was going to seek a treasure that could prolong his life and that he could no longer sit and wait for death.

He asked Chang Yue if she was willing to become his Taoist partner. Even if they could not find the elixir of immortality or the treasure to prolong life in the future, their lifespans were almost the same, so they could spend the rest of their lives together, stay together, and grow old together.

It is just as joyful to be a pair of carefree mandarin ducks.

Chang Yue refused. Sheng Daren sighed helplessly and could only leave, his back looking lonely and desolate.

Speaking of it.

Chang Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and she might have been moved at first.

It's just a matter of here...

It’s hard to explain.

Li Changxiao has always been a qualified listener. He didn't say anything and just listened quietly.

Chang Yue had a lot to say, perhaps it was just a revolving lantern, or perhaps it was a rare moment of clarity, the memories of the past were extremely clear in her mind at this moment.

she continued.

After Sheng Daren left, several decades later, perhaps ten years, or maybe twenty years, Uncle Zhou also came to find her.

He brought with him several secret books on immortality techniques from the Panlong Sect.

Uncle Zhou wanted to study these longevity techniques with Chang Yue. In fact, he had been studying them for nearly a hundred years, but the progress was always slow. He thought that if he had someone to help him and they could pool their wisdom, they would be able to progress much faster.

So he thought of Chang Yue.

The two of them had been studying together for more than ten years, but perhaps because of their low level of cultivation and limited vision, they had never been able to find the key.

Disheartened, Uncle Zhou gave up and chose to leave on a rainy night.

After that, Chang Yue lived alone for another six years. One day, she received a letter from Sheng Daren, who said that he had found the treasure that could prolong life.

Behind Panlong Sect, there is a secret realm.

There is a mountain in the secret realm, named Panlong Mountain. There are bamboo shoots in the mountain, called mountain bamboo shoots.

One section can increase your lifespan by hundreds of years and can enhance your cultivation.

After receiving the envelope, Chang Yue hesitated for several days. Seeing that Panlong Mountain was not far away, he decided to go there.

Finally, they successfully entered the Changsheng Cave and were greeted by the headmaster himself.

The headmaster told her that there were indeed bamboo shoots on the mountain, but they could not be given to her easily. She had to join the Changsheng Cave and become an elder here.

Chang Yue felt something was wrong at the time, but after thinking about it, he agreed to stay, because he still had a filter for the Sect Leader.

Secondly, I don’t want to miss this opportunity.

Third, she believed she had the ability to protect herself.

So, he settled down in Changsheng Cave.

When she first arrived, she was just like Li Changxiao, staying in her cave all day and never going out.

But the third day.

A blister suddenly appeared on her left leg.

She didn't care, or rather, she should have cared, but she didn't.

Fourth day.

The blisters on her left leg spread. She counted them and found there were seventeen in total, concentrated in the area from the heel to the calf.

She should have cared, but she didn't.

Now that she is awake, she recalls those events and discovers many clues.

In fact, starting from the third day, her mental state was no longer normal.

Many things that should have been paid attention to and discovered to be wrong were simply ignored.

The monk has spiritual energy protecting his body, so it is extremely strange that he suddenly develops blisters.

Chang Yue sighed and told Li Changxiao that perhaps she had been infected with the "longevity disease" as early as that time.

A few days later.

The symptoms became more and more obvious, and her entire left leg was covered with blisters.

As she spoke, she lifted up her legs, and the dense blisters were still there, making her scalp tingle.

after that.

She has completely lost her logic...

Recalling that time.

She could only use words like numb, crazy, mad, and absurd to describe it.

She practiced the second version of the immortality method that no normal person would be willing to practice, and all her cultivation disappeared into thin air...

She was betrothed to Zhou Gongshu by the sect leader and had affairs with many of the disciples.

……

"So, the longevity disease..." Li Changxiao started.

"Long-term illness."

Chang Yue expressed her feelings, "It corrodes people's spirits and causes ugly changes in the monks' bodies. These changes cannot be eliminated. They make people numb, crazy, cruel, and lose their logic..."

"This……"

"It's a chronic disease, a terrible disease. But what's even more terrible than the symptoms is... it's contagious!"

"I have been ill for a short time, and my condition is less severe than that of Sheng Daren and Zhou Gongshu. Occasionally, I will be lucid and tell myself... I must kill them all."

Speaking of it.

Chang Yue looked at Li Changxiao and said, "But it seems... Junior Brother, you are not affected by this disease?"

Li Changxiao nodded. Even though his spiritual energy was exhausted, he could still practice. He still had a dream space with spiritual energy in his body.

As long as you fall asleep, you can recover to your peak state. Not to mention whether you will be infected, even if you are infected, you can recover after a good night's sleep.

In other words, even the depletion of spiritual energy could not harm him, let alone this immortality disease.

Li Changxiao frowned, "Do you know the origin of this disease?"

Chang Yue said coldly: "I don't know, but I know that this disease... has nothing to do with any evil gods. The evil gods are just imaginations after all, and have nothing to do with the immortality method compiled by the headmaster."

"I guess..."

"This disease was most likely transmitted to us by the Sect Master!"
