On Lifespan Extension

"Master, are you alright?"

Just as Chen Mobai was about to ask what the poems on his and Shi Wanyu's cards meant, he turned around and saw the Sunglasses Girl spitting blood, which shocked him greatly.

He wanted to reach out and help the master in front of him, but then remembered that there was a woman nearby, so he immediately asked Shi Wanyu to go and check on her.

"No need. Our paths have crossed today. I shall take my leave."

The Sunglasses Girl waved her hand, stopping Shi Wanyu from walking over.

After saying that, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then swept away all the cards, tablecloths, and other items on the table. Suddenly, as if she were an illusion, she retreated abruptly, disappeared into the wall behind her, and vanished from their sight.

Chen Mobai Spiritual Sense Projection, searching the heavens and the earth, but he only saw the Sunglasses Girl's heel disappear into another wall.

He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't force himself to continue the pursuit.

"I don't know what this poem means?"

After the Sunglasses Girl left, Shi Wanyu looked at the card in her hand and muttered to herself.

"When you have some free time later, check it out on the ancient Chinese literature website."

Chen Mobai casually remarked, Shi Wanyu responded happily, then stuffed the card in her hand into the inner pocket of the small black bag slung at her waist.

Exchange Meeting?

Chen Mobai looked at the card he had drawn again, roughly understood its meaning from the words, put it in the pocket inside his sleeve, and asked a question.

"It's alright, I visited most of the stalls with my friends."

Shi Wanyu answered with excitement.

"Want to go for a walk together? I need to go to the Longevity Academy to ask some professional questions."

Chen Mobai asked politely, but first stated his destination so that if Shi Wanyu had other matters to attend to, they could part ways as he suggested.

"Uh-huh!"

To everyone's surprise, Shi Wanyu blushed and quickly agreed with her head down.

"Then let's go."

Chen Mobai didn't think much of it. He glanced at the spot where the Sunglasses Girl had been sitting, which was now empty. After composing himself, he said something to Shi Wanyu and then turned to walk towards the end of the alley.

Just as he stepped into the light outside, he reached out and wiped his face with his right hand. Black Shuijing- like scales flew out and covered his face again, transforming into a half-face mask.

Shi Wanyu, wearing shiny black round-toed leather shoes, followed him out happily.

Upon seeing Chen Mobai put the mask back on, she even felt a sense of solitude, a feeling of joy filling her entire body, her bright and fair face radiating genuine happiness.

Some passersby were stunned when they saw Shi Wanyu, with her outstanding figure and beautiful face, walking out of the alley with a happy expression.

When they saw her jog up to the boy in the Dance Weapon Red Black Robe, a look of regret appeared on their faces.

It turns out she's already taken.

Damn it, who is this guy from the Wuqi Dao Academy? He's putting on airs and wearing a mask.

Is it something you're ashamed to show to others?

Even the one Magic Combat Victor probably didn't act this pretentious.

Two male students, seeing Shi Wanyu genuinely smiling happily beside Chen Mobai, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy and silently grumbled inwardly.

"The Longevity Academy only has four booths: one for longevity, one for health preservation, and one for medical treatment. However, the most popular one is the Beauty Preservation -preserving booth, which is always packed with people."

As Chen Mobai listened to Shi Wanyu's cheerful tone and smelled the delicate fragrance emanating from her, he felt refreshed and relaxed.

This is much better than shopping with Hua Zijing.

The Vice President was clearly good-looking, but he didn't like to smile and always had a stern face, which put a lot of pressure on this young man who loved to appreciate beauty.

Shi Wanyu was completely different. The two walked together, and her bright face, adorned with delicate makeup, was all smiles. Chen Mobai could also sense that she was genuinely happy and joyful. Her Dual Cultivation, beautiful legs, clad in small leather shoes, swayed merrily as she walked, radiating a vibrant and energetic aura of youth. This even seemed to infect him, who had been feeling somewhat depressed due to the Three Tribulations of Core Formation, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"Why are there four stalls? I thought there was only one for prolonging life."

Chen Mobai smiled and started a conversation, following up on the words of the youthful and charming girl beside him.

"I know that. Our Flowing Light Academy and Longevity Academy are on the same campus and we have some exchanges on a regular basis. It is said that they are researching the art of Ageless Changchun, but in reality, only the most core Foundation Establishment True Cultivator and teachers can participate in the longevity research project."

"Although the Longevity Academy was separated from the Goumang Dao Academy, the admission Cutoff Score are only so-so every year. Therefore, most people who enter this university have little interest or talent in studying the 'longevity' course, which requires a long time to produce results. They basically choose courses on health preservation and Beauty Preservation."

"Among these, many cultivators in the Immortal Sect practice the art of health preservation in their later years. After mastering it, they go back and open a tutoring class. If they make a name for themselves, they can make a lot of money. As for Beauty Preservation, it goes without saying that many female cultivators will spare no expense for it."

At this point, Shi Wanyu clenched her little fist to show that she was also a part of it, a very cute gesture.

As they talked, the two arrived at the Longevity Academy's booth.

Just as Shi Wanyu had said, the Beauty Preservation stall was packed with people.

However, the second most popular health and wellness stall was almost deserted.

This is probably because the Exchange Meeting aimed at students, who are young people, in their prime, full of energy, and don't have much need for health preservation.

"Wanyu, didn't you say you were going to the Wuqi Dao Academy to watch the Magic Combat Victor? Why did you come here?"

At this moment, Shi Wanyu seemed to run into an acquaintance. Two girls queuing in front of the Beauty Preservation stall saw her and immediately exclaimed in surprise. One of them saw Chen Mobai wearing Dance Weapon Red Black Robe and looked suspicious.

"They are my two roommates. I'll go say hello to them first."

When she was spotted by an acquaintance, Shi Wanyu suppressed the urge to show off the person next to her and said softly.

"Okay, I'll go over there and ask about the questions I want to ask."

Chen Mobai didn't really want Shi Wanyu to know what he was going to ask next, but after the two parted ways, he had just sat down at Yanshou's stall when he saw two burning gazes looking at him.

Without even turning around, Spiritual Sense was enough for him to know that it was Shi Wanyu's two roommates observing him. One of them seemed to have guessed his identity and looked slightly excited.

"This senior from the Upper House, each consultation at this booth will earn you 100 Merit Points, which will be used to support our institution's research on extending the lifespan of all humankind."

Sitting at the longevity stall was a young man with a very good appearance. He had dyed his hair white and pretended to be a white-haired, youthful-looking man. He pointed to the QR code for receiving payments placed next to him.

Without hesitation, Chen Mobai took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and paid the consultation fee.

"Senior, if you have any questions, please ask. My name is Yu Rulin, and I am the Chief at the Longevity Academy. I just Foundation Establishment last year."

The white-haired youth introduced himself with great poise. Compared to the Four Great Dao Academies and Ten Great Academies, the requirements for the Chief of the Hundred and Twenty Mansions were much lower. Generally, those who could successfully Foundation Establishment during their studies could become the Chief.

"When my father was young, he participated in the World Opening War. Once, he encountered an extremely dangerous situation and used a spell that consumed his lifespan to increase his Cultivation Realm. I would like to ask if there is any way to make up for the lifespan he lost?"

Chen Mobai fabricated the reason he had prepared beforehand, his words filled with the sighs of a son, and a sincere attitude of wanting to help his father.

"Oh, which spell was used? Wildfire Spring Breeze Art? Spark Prairie Fire Art? Startle Spirit Bell Strike Art? Dry Wood Blazing Fire Art? Embrace Fire Accumulate Fuel Art..."

Yu Rulin talked at length, and it seemed that they were all spells that burned lifespan to improve cultivation or break through realms in a short period of time.

Chen Mobai had never heard of it, and it wouldn't be appropriate to take out his phone to look it up on the spot. He also didn't dare to choose randomly, so he could only try to steer the conversation in the direction he wanted.

"I haven't heard my father mention this. He didn't even want me to know, so as not to distract me from my cultivation. I discovered the clues myself. I mainly want to ask if there is any way to replenish the lifespan lost through magic or pills?"

Yu Rulin had no doubts and nodded firmly.

"This is the simplest one, but I study the topic of lifespan extension. If it's about replenishing lifespan, you should go to the doctor's stall over there."

"What's the difference?"

Chen Mobai genuinely didn't know, and asked in a puzzled tone.

Yu Rulin noticed the Dance Weapon Red Black Robe and patiently explained it to him in detail.

"In the professional field of lifespan, we refer to the time a person dies peacefully without suffering from accidental injury or illness as destiny."

"Everyone may have slight differences, but their approximate age will not differ too much. This is something that is Xiantian in the womb. Only breakthroughs in the Cultivation Realm or heaven -Tian Ling objects like the Immortal Chun Fruit can improve and prolong it."

"To give a simple example, it's like a container that can hold one liter. No matter what kind of water or beverage you put in it, it can't exceed the container's capacity. Consuming lifespan is like prematurely releasing some of the water that was originally full in the container. Once the water in the container dries up, it means that lifespan has been exhausted, which is to say, you die of old age."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai easily understood and couldn't help but praise Yu Rulin's professional level as the Chief of the Longevity Academy.

"So, to replenish one's lifespan, all you have to do is pour water into the container?"

He asked, Yu Rulin nodded, then pointed to the medical stalls across the street.

"Our research on life extension studies various methods to increase the capacity of one's cultivation vessel beyond breakthroughs in the Cultivation Realm, which is to extend Xiantian. It is one of the ten major challenges of the Immortal Sect. Consuming lifespan is only because the body and mind have been overdrawn in advance, or even because the vessel itself is damaged. This is a different direction from the research on life extension. Simply put, it means you are sick and need to see a doctor."

Although the words were unpleasant to hear, Chen Mobai found them quite interesting.

Because Yu Rulin's meaning was very clear: replenishing lifespan was not difficult at all, and it was not worth it for him, the Chief of the Longevity Academy, to take action.

Following the other party's instructions, he went to the medical treatment stall next door.

The stall owner turned out to be only a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer named Le Chengwei. Chen Mobai wasn't looking down on him, but his professional level was far inferior to that of Yu Rulin, the Chief.

He insisted that Chen Mobai reveal exactly which spell he had used before he could prescribe the appropriate medicine to restore his lifespan.

None of this was true. Seeing that he was stubborn and couldn't be reasoned with, Chen Mobai could only return to Yu Rulin's stall.

"Senior from the Upper Academy, although there aren't many people at my stall, it still requires a professional connection. If you want to extend your lifespan, I can chat with you for a bit longer. But if you want to replenish your lifespan, you'd better not come to me."

When Yu Rulin saw Chen Mobai return wearing a mask, he frowned slightly and put down the book in his hand.

As I've already said, his research focuses on longevity, and he's not particularly skilled at treating illnesses.

Because it was from the Wuqi Dao Academy, he had explained a few more words earlier. If it were from another university, even the Ten Great Academies, he would have sent it directly to see a doctor long ago.

"Brother Yu, why don't we find Coffee Shop and have a good chat in private?"

Chen Mobai's words made Yu Rulin click her tongue. The latter looked impatient and was about to refuse when the black Shuijing mask on Chen Mobai's face was suddenly peeled off piece by piece, revealing his true face.

After seeing it clearly, Yu Rulin's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with disbelief.

"Ah!"

At the same time, Shi Wanyu's roommate, who had been keeping an eye on Chen Mobai, seemed to have seen Chen Mobai's true face and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Fortunately, in a split second, Chen Mobai reached out and wiped his mask back on, covering half of his face.

Those around who heard the commotion looked over, but none of them noticed. They looked at Shi Wanyu's roommate, who had screamed, with some curiosity. The roommate didn't say anything, but just covered her mouth, looking excited.

"Senior Chen, I know a good Maid Cafe. This way, please."

Yu Rulin's attitude was completely different. He stood up, took the initiative to lead the way, and also called over the junior students at the health and wellness stall next door to help him watch the longevity stall.

"Wait a moment, let me say hello to my friend."

Chen Mobai nodded, then turned around and waved to Shi Wanyu, who had been watching him. The latter immediately separated from her two excited roommates and ran to him.

"Chief Yu and I have some professional topics to discuss. Would you like to come along, or do you want to explore on your own first?"

Although Chen Mobai phrased it tactfully, his meaning was clear.

Shi Wanyu's bright face dimmed, and she nodded to indicate that she was going shopping with her roommates later and wouldn't be going with them.

"Okay, let's meet up again next time we're free. I still owe you a Lipstick, I'll buy it for you then."

Chen Mobai nodded, and then left with Yu Rulin had been waiting for a while.
