Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Finally, Gu Chi brought the big black dog and followed the magical medicine with black light flowing all over its body into the medicine garden.

"Do you understand the forbidden formation here?" The big black dog looked at the magical medicine in surprise.

"I don't understand, but my master knows all this. This is the route it once pointed out to me." The magical medicine with black light flowing emitted divine thought fluctuations.

The big black dog drooped its ears. Originally, he had thought that he could humbly ask the other party for advice, but in the end, he could only figure it out on his own.

Along the way, in addition to the fragrant smell of medicine, there are also various clouds and collapsed and dilapidated palaces.

The big black dog was shocked. It found that the formations and restrictions in some areas were relatively well preserved, and it could faintly feel a soul-stirring holy power.

Gu Chi secretly sent a message to the big black dog, asking it to write down the route so that if he couldn't reach an agreement with the "white fox carrying the fairy" later, he wouldn't have to panic.

However, along the way, they sometimes had to travel deep into the ground, and sometimes they had to pass through the light gate and enter the secret passage in the void. Even Gu Chi was dizzy from all the twists and turns, and he couldn't remember which way he came.

"Lao Hei, write everything down?" Gu Chi secretly conveyed the message to the big black dog.

"I wrote it all down, but there were a few transfers across the void, and I'm not sure if I remembered it accurately." The big black dog responded. The transfers in the middle confused it.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally approached an ancient place.

Occasionally, the roar of beasts could be heard from the distant mountains, shaking the sky in that area so much that it even cracked!

"What is this place?" Gu Chi was surprised. Those ancient beasts were very scary, but they had never heard any roars of beasts when they were outside the island.

"Zhengzhengzheng..."

Immediately afterwards, sword energy shot up into the sky, cold and terrifying, making people feel creepy, because Gu Chi and the others saw that above the clouds where the sword energy pierced, one star after another was collapsing!

"Is it true or a vision? Or is it a reflection of ancient history?" Gu Chi couldn't help but ask.

“I don’t know, but thousands of years ago or even longer ago, the sword energy was much stronger than it is now.” said the magical medicine with black light flowing all over its body.

Soon, they came to the depths of this area. The front was hazy, and there was a misty chaotic fog floating above the flowers and plants, making the place look even more mysterious.

In addition, there are some broken bluestones and collapsed and damaged buildings, which give people a sense of desolation of the decline of a prosperous era.

"We're here. My master is right there." The magical medicine gestured for them to look forward.

There was white mist surging there, like the abode of immortals.

Gu Chi did not rush forward, but just stood there and sent a voice message forward, saying: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"In the near future, all things will wither, and all the heavens and worlds will go into extinction, falling into eternal darkness until a new era begins the cycle of reincarnation." Such a voice was heard in the vortex of surging white mist, with a sense of vicissitudes and sighs.

Gu Chi frowned slightly. Why did the other party say such pitiful words right from the start?

"What do you want to express when you say this?" Gu Chi asked.

"No one in this world can be immortal. Even the so-called immortals you speak of are not truly immortal." A sigh came from the mist.

Gu Chi could feel that in the vortex of white mist, a pair of eyes were watching her.

"But you... I can't see your past or future, and I can't even see your shadow in the long river of time."

Such words shocked Gu Chi and Big Black Dog. Could the other party actually see the long river of time and see anyone's past and future from it?

"What exactly do you want to do by calling me here?" Gu Chi asked. Although his heart was in turmoil, he still appeared calm on the surface.

No living being in this world can be immortal. Even as powerful as the ancient saints, there comes a moment when their life comes to an end and they pass away in meditation.

But Gu Chi and the big black dog are exceptions, because they have the longevity system and have no concept of life span. As long as they don't die tragically at the hands of others, it will be difficult to take them away when the world collapses.

However, the "White Fox Carrying the Immortal" actually said that he could not see Gu Chi's past and future in the long river of time, which made Gu Chi very puzzled.

It is true that she and the big black dog will live forever, but people living in this world will always leave some traces. Why can't we see her past and future in the long river of time?

"Could it be that something unexpected happened in the future and someone erased all traces of my life?" Gu Chi had many guesses in his mind.

"Many of us want to survive." A voice came from the vortex of white mist.

"What does it have to do with me?" Gu Chi narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that the other party discovered the secret of their immortality and wanted to use them as elixir of immortality?

"I just want to establish a good relationship. I would like to ask you to spare some of the rare herbs on the island. Many of them have the potential to become miracle or even holy medicines. Cultivation is not easy, and the path to advancement for herbs is even more difficult and arduous. Could you please give them a chance to live?"

Gu Chi said, "The strong prey on the weak. You've lived for so long, it's impossible for you not to understand such a simple principle. Ancient medicines and magical medicines like theirs, and even holy medicines like yours that defy the heavens and are extraordinary, are all excellent supplements for us cultivators to enhance our strength and prolong our lives. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to tell me this?"

After thinking for a moment, she added, "I can only promise you that in this medicinal garden, as long as the herbs have awakened their spiritual intelligence, I will let them go, but the premise is that they don't take the initiative to provoke me."

"Thank you."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking ground, and the fog in front gradually dissipated, revealing some blurry images.

There was a plant there, its entire body was snow-white, accompanied by divine clouds and brilliant light rain, it was otherworldly.

White fox carrying the immortal!

It came out, its figure hazy in the mist.

"You came all the way here to find me. Did you just want to tell me this?" Gu Chi asked.

A flash of rosy clouds and silver light shone, and above the nine-tailed white fox, the hazy figure of an unrivaled beauty appeared. She stepped on the back of the white fox, her white clothes fluttering, as if she was dancing.

Both the nine-tailed white fox and the peerless beauty were as white as jade. If their bodies were not so small, one would mistakenly think that it was a real peerless female fairy stepping on a nine-tailed white fox.

But in fact, this is just a medicinal herb, a holy medicine created by nature and beyond the ordinary.

"I have one more thing I want to ask for help, fellow Daoist. This island has been imprisoned for a long time, so long that I can't even count how many years it has been. I hope you can help us get rid of it." The nine-tailed white fox said.
