Gaining Seven Hundred and Twenty Years of Life

From Divine Lord Zhenyuan, Zhang Xuezhou learned about the positive effects of the fruit.

At the Buddha Son Shigong's place, Zhang Xuezhou also tested and discovered the negative effects of the fruit.

If a fruit can live a long life and produce abundant fruit but no one eats it, there must be something wrong with it.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan did not mention the fruit's negative effects, which is highly likely because the other party's body could not perceive them, and Divine Lord Zhenyuan probably had never seen anyone test the fruit.

Seeing the Buddha Son Shigong unconscious from the pain, Zhang Xuezhou touched the Buddha Son Shigong's stomach again, only to find that it was as hard as a piece of raw iron.

He suffered the same fate when he ate the Myriad Dharma Lotus in the Kunlun Sacred Land in his early years, and it was only thanks to the intervention of Divine Lord Zhenyuan that he was spared.

Seeing the fate of the Buddha Son Shigong, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy, and he also recalled the past friendship with Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

"Since the Divine Lord can ward off poison, why not eat a few more?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I'll eat this..."

"The Western Sect followed me into the Sacred Land and stole some fruit; that has nothing to do with us!"

But he only has one in his stomach!

"The deity can simply send him out when the time comes. Who knows whether he has one or several in his belly in ten days or half a month!"

"This could very well spark a major conflict!"

"I heard that the Heavenly Court has sworn an oath not to leave, so they won't get into any major disputes!"

Zhang Xuezhou is always meticulous in everything he does.

This would allow the Buddha Son Shigong to save his life, and he and Divine Lord Zhenyuan would not be punished for stealing the fruit.

With an additional excuse, Divine Lord Zhenyuan might be able to relocate the fruit trees more smoothly.

Of course, this kind of thing wasn't so kind to the Emperor and Empress, but as long as he thought about Ren Anran's experience in the Kunlun Sacred Land, and that he himself was just a test subject, he felt a little less awkward.

"I have found a secluded mountain place eight thousand miles away. It was originally the place where an old tea tree was kept. The place is very good for growth. I should be able to move the fruit tree there to get rid of the ant plague. I hope that the Holy Son will help me to inform the Emperor and Empress so that they will not know after I leave," Divine Lord Zhenyuan said after thinking.

Zhang Xuezhou could get past it, but Divine Lord Zhenyuan clearly still felt a bit awkward about it.

However, the pressure from this declining power is extremely high. The Emperor is addicted to alcohol and cannot extricate himself. The Empress's temperament is unpredictable. Many great gods are old and silent. These factors have intensified the desire to leave the Kunlun Sacred Land. Divine Lord Zhenyuan is afraid that he will make a mistake and be implicated one day.

He couldn't stop what was happening now; it happened sooner than he had imagined, but it only gave it a push.

Having pondered this, Divine Lord Zhenyuan couldn't help but reach out and stroke it.

He was more accurate in picking than Zhang Xuezhou, and he picked ripe fruit from the longevity fruit tree.

These fruits all look the same, making it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to distinguish whether they are new or old, but it is too easy for Divine Lord Zhenyuan has been cultivating fruit trees.

He was even familiar with the time when each fruit was produced and which great god was sacrificed to at the Kunlun Sacred Land.

"The duration of these fruits' life-extending effect is unknown, but they should ultimately have some effect," Divine Lord Zhenyuan explained.

"What the deity says is true," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Young people like me don't pay much attention to prolonging their lives. I was just thinking of nourishing my body to see if I could cure my illness!"

Are you sick?

"My skull was pried open, and the two bridges of heaven and earth are damaged, making it difficult to advance my cultivation," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I'm thinking of eating more things around here to see if I can repair my skull!"

"If that's the case, you can eat more of those Drunken Peach!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan pointed to the peach orchard, indicating that Zhang Xuezhou would benefit more from eating the Drunken Peach, while consuming the fruit of the Longevity Fruit Tree would be less effective.

"This Longevity Fruit is highly spiritual, but it likely focuses on promoting longevity, while the Drunken Peach's longevity-promoting effect isn't as strong, but its body-nourishing and moisturizing effects are better!"

"Oh, I see. Then I'll eat a few more peaches!"

Zhang Xuezhou had a vague concept of lifespan, and after Divine Lord Zhenyuan gave him some guidance, he couldn't help but pick some more Drunken Peach.

He was so full that he didn't realize he had successfully repaired the Heaven and Earth Bridges.

"Does this mean I have to take it long-term?"

With the help of the Buddha Son Shigong's disciple and the Divine Lord Zhenyuan attracting attention, Zhang Xuezhou could escape An Ran this time.

It's clear that the long-term consumption of "Drunken Peach" wasn't something that happened only once or twice.

This gave Zhang Xuezhou a bit of a headache.

However, compared to the seemingly unattainable Elixir of Life and Creation, the Drunken Peach is within reach and is the easiest thing for Zhang Xuezhou to obtain.

"Trouble!"

Rao Zhang Xuezhou was quite shrewd; he felt it wasn't convenient to do this kind of thing again and again.

"The Divine Lord?"

After finishing his meal, Zhang Xuezhou was about to ask Divine Lord Zhenyuan when he would act and when he would throw Buddha Son Shigong out of the Western Kunlun Holy Land, so that it would be convenient for him to carry out his plan.

When Zhang Xuezhou reached the Longevity Fruit Tree, he saw that Divine Lord Zhenyuan looked slightly drunk.

But what made Zhang Xuezhou's eyes narrow slightly was the change in Divine Lord Zhenyuan's body.

The other person's originally aged face continued to refine, completely losing its previous elderly appearance, and even no longer resembling a middle-aged or young person, but rather becoming more childlike.

An elderly person's body topped with the head of a child is undoubtedly a bizarre and horrifying sight, especially since this child has long, silvery-white hair.

If it weren't for the faint resemblance of Divine Lord Zhenyuan in his face and the fact that his clothes hadn't changed, Zhang Xuezhou would have easily mistaken it for a different person.

Seeing the consequences of Divine Lord Zhenyuan eating the fruit, Zhang Xuezhou finally felt relieved.

Moments on social media is one thing, but real life and a polished social media profile are two different things.

Clearly, he is not the only one in the world who has been cheated and suffered; there are many people like him, but they usually don't talk about their suffering.

"The downsides of eating too much of this fruit seem quite significant!"

Zhang Xuezhou had no idea how many fruits Divine Lord Zhenyuan had eaten to end up with a youthful appearance.

He touched his face and felt that his appearance was probably normal.

With the matter of Divine Lord Zhenyuan already in the picture, Zhang Xuezhou didn't dare to eat or do anything reckless. He simply waited by the Longevity Fruit Tree for Divine Lord Zhenyuan to regain consciousness and see how the other party's condition would be.

"Hahahaha, I cultivated half of the Longevity Technique, but could not enter the later stages. With the help of this Longevity Fruit, I broke through the lifespan of an Earth Immortal and today gained seven hundred and twenty years of lifespan, reviving the era of longevity cultivation. This is truly a fortunate event in life!"

Nearly fifteen minutes later, Zhang Xuezhou saw Divine Lord Zhenyuan get up happily and even spin around twice.

Compared to Zhang Xuezhou's lack of lifespan perception, Divine Lord Zhenyuan clearly felt the increase in his own lifespan.

He even used this to advance the Longevity Technique.

In the short time that he used the Longevity Fruit, Divine Lord Zhenyuan had already achieved the lifespan of the Longevity Technique. If he continued to cultivate, he would likely achieve an even longer lifespan.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Divine Lord Zhenyuan's new face, then thought about the new lifespan Divine Lord Zhenyuan had gained, and then looked at the Longevity Fruit Tree. He was unsure whether he should take the gamble.
