"I did hear the seniors mention a little about this," Eldest Brother said. "Senior Immortal Alchemist believed that everything should be left some room and never taken too far, so in the end, he took only one of them. Besides, the Soaring Immortal Fruit had not truly ripened then. Senior Immortal Alchemist seemed to feel that he did not have enough time to wait for it to ripen fully, so he could only pick it. That was why he used the not-quite-ripe Soaring Immortal Fruit to refine a Longevity Pill, probably hoping to bring its effects to their fullest and achieve the miraculous effects of a ripe Soaring Immortal Fruit."
"Could it really grant everlasting life?" Third Brother asked.
"I don't know. They say Senior Immortal Alchemist successfully refined one Longevity Pill back then, but he probably never took it himself. What happened afterward is unclear. Imperial Remnant Manor and the Demon Hall joined forces to trap our Divine Beast Holy Land with a formation, so we had no way of learning news from outside," Eldest Brother said.
"Eldest Brother, people say Senior Immortal Alchemist's mastery of alchemy had something to do with a miraculous scripture he once obtained. Is that true?" Fourth Younger Sister asked.
"Yes, that much is true." Eldest Brother nodded. "The Longevity and Imperishability Scripture, a miraculous scripture left from ancient times. He gained his understanding of how to refine the Longevity Pill from it. All his cultivation came from his insights into it, too."
"I have heard about that. They say Senior Immortal Alchemist later divided the Longevity and Imperishability Scripture into two parts and left them in two places, saying they would await those destined to find them," Second Brother said.
"A scripture that miraculous must have sent those humans searching like mad, right?
