Longevity's Divine Effect, Gu Ming's Ecstasy

Yun Ze nodded and said, "This formation is fairly basic and not too difficult to learn. I'll find time to write down the setup method in detail and give it to you."

As the saying went, giving someone a fish was better than teaching them how to fish. Rather than helping them set it up himself, it was more convenient to teach them directly.

Writing out the formation in detail would take no more than ten minutes. Then he could hand it over for them to study. As long as they were not idiots, they would be able to learn it by following the instructions.

"Thank you, Young Master." Di Tian and the others bowed in gratitude, their excitement and thanks toward Yun Ze utterly sincere.

Yun Ze waved it off indifferently, stood up, and had Di Tian open a Space Passage back to Mingdu.

After having a hearty meal and resting for the night, Yun Ze contacted Gu Ming, the president of the research institute, at around eleven the next morning.

"Elder Gu, please come to Dragon Phoenix Hall on Bright Moon Street, southwest of Sun Moon Royal Academy. I'll give you the Hundred Year Longevity Pill I promised you."

Yun Ze got straight to the point, wasting no words as he mentioned what Gu Ming cared about most.

There was a moment of silence on the other end before a hurried voice came through. "Wait twenty minutes for me."

He hung up immediately and rushed out of the laboratory. At that moment, he moved nothing like a frail old man over two hundred years old.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Ming and another elderly man arrived before the Dragon Phoenix Hall Building.

Yun Ze, Gu Yue Na, and Di Tian were waiting on the first floor. The moment the two arrived, they saw them.

"Hm?" Gu Ming and the elderly man accompanying him both narrowed their eyes and frowned.

Both stared solemnly at Di Tian, their Soul Power spontaneously circulating within them. It was a natural reaction when facing a powerful enemy.

This person is terrifyingly strong! The same thought surfaced in both their minds, and their muscles involuntarily tensed.

Gu Ming was a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo with Four-Word Battle Armor. Anyone who could make even him feel threatened was undoubtedly extraordinarily powerful.

The old man beside him was no ordinary figure either. He possessed rank ninety-seven Soul Power and was a Three-Word Battle Armor Master.

Di Tian's aura was as deep as an abyss, as oppressive as a prison. They could not see through him at all. Though he emitted not the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power, he made them feel as though thorns were pressing against their backs, leaving their bodies uncomfortably tense.

"Elder Gu, be careful," the elderly man beside him said gravely.

Gu Ming waved his hand and strode toward Yun Ze's group. After hesitating briefly, the other elderly man hurried after him.

"Elder Gu," Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na greeted him simply.

Gu Ming nodded. He had even forgotten to ask about the longevity pill as he looked toward the tall Di Tian, dressed entirely in black, and could not help asking, "And this gentleman is?"

He was almost certain that the man before him was an ultimate powerhouse—an exceptionally powerful Limit Douluo, possibly even a Quasi-God!

"I come from the Hidden Family, the Yun Family. I am also the current Deputy Hall Master of Dragon Phoenix Hall. You may call me Yun Tian," Di Tian introduced himself, extending his hand first.

Gu Ming committed those words to memory and extended his own hand to shake Di Tian's. "Gu Ming, President of Federation Research Institute."

"Xu Chuan. I am Elder Gu's student and the current vice president of Federation Research Institute," Xu Chuan introduced himself.

Di Tian gave him a slight nod in greeting.

"Elder Gu, let's talk inside," Yun Ze said, leading Gu Ming and Xu Chuan into the building.

The first floor was a forging shop divided into two sections. Over seventy percent of the space was used for forging, while the remaining thirty percent was a shop displaying finished metal products.

A wall separated the two areas, with a metal door leading to the other side. They stopped in the better-decorated shop area.

Once inside, Di Tian shut the main door and turned on all the lights, making the interior exceptionally bright.

Seeing Di Tian close the door, Xu Chuan immediately became tense. He moved closer to Gu Ming and went on guard.

"Elder Gu, we won't be inviting you upstairs for a tour this time. Please excuse the inconvenience and absorb the pill here instead," Yun Ze said with a light smile.

The transformed Emerald Swans on the second floor were arranging pills, Bi Ji was refining pills on the third floor, and above that were the resting area and his workshop. Compared to those places, the ground floor was the most suitable place for Gu Ming to absorb the pill.

"I don't mind." Gu Ming did not care about that at all. He stared intensely at Yun Ze and could not help urging, "The pill..."

Yun Ze smiled faintly, took out a small Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring, and handed it to Gu Ming.

"Inside is a pill that extends one's life by a hundred years. Once you take it, refine its energy immediately. With your cultivation, you should be able to absorb it completely within half an hour."

Gu Ming's withered hands trembled slightly as he carefully accepted the bottle and impatiently opened it. A rich pill fragrance drifted out.

"Ah..." Gu Ming let out a blissful moan, tilting his face slightly upward and spreading his hands as he greedily breathed in the pill fragrance. The comfort it brought was beyond words.

Xu Chuan behind him also unconsciously closed his eyes and took deep breaths. The fragrance made his whole body feel light and airy.

When Gu Ming poured out the pill, his hand trembled uncontrollably. The instant the pill touched his palm, an intense urge to swallow it arose within him.

Without questioning whether the pill had any side effects, Gu Ming swallowed it without hesitation, the intact pill entering his stomach.

Gu Ming sat cross-legged and circulated his Soul Power, beginning to refine the pill within his abdomen.

Xu Lin had originally wanted to advise Gu Ming not to swallow it so hastily, but it was already too late. He could only remain by Gu Ming's side and stand guard for him.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na found chairs and sat down. The former took out a book and began reading, while the latter rested her chin on one hand, her elbow on the counter, gazing blankly at Yun Ze.

Di Tian folded his arms and leaned against the counter, watching Gu Ming with interest. On the counter beside him, a soul tool video recorder was operating.

As the pill's medicinal energy spread through Gu Ming's internal organs, limbs, and bones, his body began undergoing miraculous changes.

His dry, bark-like skin filled out and gradually became plumper, regaining some of the moisture lost to the passage of time.

Hair began growing on his head, and some of his white hair even turned black. His vitality was growing stronger.

Xu Chuan's eyes widened in shock at the sight. Even though he had been mentally prepared, a storm still surged through his heart.

Gu Ming himself could feel the changes in his body, and he was so excited that he could barely contain himself. If he had not known that the medicinal effects had yet to fully disperse and required further refinement, he would have wanted to jump up and bounce around. The feeling of his body regaining vitality was simply too wonderful.

The refining time was about what Yun Ze had expected—nearly half an hour.

"Th-this... is this really me?" Gu Ming carefully examined himself in the mirror Yun Ze handed him, pinching his no-longer-withered face with a surreal feeling.

He now looked like a man in his fifties. Though he still appeared elderly, compared to before, he looked like an entirely different person.

His body was no longer hunched, his skin was no longer dry and shriveled, his lost hair had grown back, and black hair now made up the majority. His vigor and spirit had returned.

"Haha! Hahahaha!" After looking for several minutes, Gu Ming burst into hearty laughter, feeling incomparably exhilarated as his eyes reddened slightly.

The feeling of lost years returning to him was beyond description. He was now as happy as a child, waving his arms about and laughing without end.

"Congratulations, Teacher!" Xu Chuan said joyfully.
