Chapter 1738  Immortality

After playing tricks on Dutian Peak, Xiao Mian returned to Nanyue.

After crossing the Endless Ocean, Xiao Mian suddenly stopped and looked at the beautiful Nanyue. For a moment, he didn't know where to go - Baiyin City had been given away!

In Wanzong City, people came and went, and material desires were rampant.

The Five Elements Sect was in charge of Fan Jian, so why should he worry about it?

In Huoyun Ridge, Xiao Mian was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, and he had already got on the right track.

Although Xiao Mian was nominally the big boss of Tianlu Valley and Feitian Sect, he would inevitably feel out of place after going there, so it was better not to go.

Zhenkong Dao? What to do there?

After some consideration and wandering, Xiao Mian stopped at the Beihuang Prairie.

Just north of Huoyun Ridge, Xiao Mian found a secluded place and lived there.

Because Huoyun Ridge was becoming more and more prosperous, there were many cultivators around Huoyun Ridge, and soon someone discovered Xiao Mian's whereabouts, and then spread the news from one person to ten, and then to a hundred.

Ren Tianzun, personally came here to invite Xiao Mian to take charge of Wanzong City.

"Senior! Wanzong City and even the entire Nanyue Province have been put on the right track. As long as nothing major happens, there will be no problem. I don't need to go to Wanzong City anymore!"

"You! Do you think I'm bothering you?"

"What are you talking about, senior? You and I are both for Nanyue, and even for this world. What's the difference between us? But if I stay in Wanzong City for a long time, it will be harmful and not beneficial!"

"This..."

"Besides, I came back this time just to visit some old friends. In a few days, I will leave again. Wanzong City, I hope the senior will take care of it!"

"At this point, do you still have to run around like this?" Looking at Xiao Mian, Ren Tianzun said kindly: "You It is already the best in the world, and Nanyue Province has also achieved rejuvenation. Slow down and look more at the people and things around you, isn't it good? "

"Senior, do you think: everything is fine? Yes! After this battle, as long as I, the 'best in the world', am here, Nanyue Province is as stable as a rock, and even Dutian Peak can't make any big waves. But one day, I will die and disappear?"

"You... don't you still have hundreds of years to live?"

"What about hundreds of years later? What about a thousand years later? What about ten thousand years later? Who will be the master of the ups and downs?"

"..."

"Senior! You still don't understand: who am I playing chess with!"

When saying this, Xiao Mian was quite lonely.

Ren Tianzun is already the person closest to him in the entire Nanyue Province. Xiao Mian has also revealed his plan, but so what?

Limited by his vision and mind, Ren Tianzun still can't understand Xiao Mian!

In this world, Xiao Mian is invincible, but also lonely.

If, daylily is still there...

Daylily!

Thinking of daylily, Xiao Mian thought of his and daylily's child - Xiao Baitao.

"Is Taozi still in Wanzong City? Please help me tell Taozi to come here as soon as possible, I'm afraid I can't wait for her for a few days!"

"Okay! Alas! I'm going!"

After saying this, Ren Tianzun disappeared as the ice and fire passed by.

In the next three days, Xiao Mian's old friends and even disciples came one after another. Xiao Mian persuaded them to leave one by one. If there were those who refused to leave, Xiao Mian would not force them.

Three days later, Xiao Baitao brought two people to see Xiao Mian.

One was Li Nianbai, the son of Bai Jintang, and the other was Leng Chi, the son of Leng Wuyan.

Li Nianbai had been following Jingchu for these years and followed the sword god Zi Tongjian to learn swordsmanship in Dongwuzhou. On the contrary, Leng Chi stayed in Nanyue after waking up.

Leng Chi had successfully condensed his infant, while Li Nianbai was slightly inferior and was still a golden elixir.

Xiao Baitao came first, and the two followed, bowing to Xiao Mian.

"Everyone, get up! Our peach is getting more and more juicy!" While speaking, Xiao Mian looked past Xiao Baitao and stared at the other two, smiling as he looked: "That's right! A good father will have a good son! An old friend has such a son, and I am also proud of him as his friend! Nianbai! Although you haven't condensed the infant yet, you have a solid foundation, and it's no problem to overcome the tribulation and become an infant. What's more, you are not very old, so don't rush it! Lengchi! Your situation is different from others. You need to take it step by step and don't lose your composure!"

"Yes!"

"Follow the warning of Senior Xiao!"

Li Nianbai, a simple "yes", is like a knife.

Lengchi, gentle and elegant, is not at all like the domineering Ice and Fire Dragon.

Xiao Mian waved his hand and waved the two away, leaving only Xiao Baitao.

"Our Taozi has grown up..."

"Dad, what are you talking about? Taozi is still young!" Xiao Baitao blushed at Xiao Mian's meaningful look and asked, "Where is Mom?"

"Your mom..."

"Yes! Didn't Mom go with Dad? Now that you're back, where is Mom? Where is she? Taozi misses her so much!"

"Your mom, she's here!" As he spoke, Xiao Mian reached out and touched his chest, telling the truth, "Your mom died of old age, I buried her here!"

"What!? Mom... Mom she..."

Faced with a pale face, Xiao Baitao trembled all over and fell down beside Xiao Mian.

"The dead are gone! Taozi, don't be too sad..."

"Why is this happening? Dad, why didn't you tell me in advance? Taozi has a way to extend mother's life! Taozi can do it..."

"Your mother doesn't want you to do that!"

"But...but you should let me see her for the last time, right?"

"Your mother also doesn't want you to see her dying!" Touching Xiao Baitao's hair, Xiao Mian said in a good voice: "Your mother hopes that she will always be the most beautiful in your mind, and she will die peacefully without any regrets!"

"But...but I'm unwilling! I could have saved her..." Halfway through her words, Xiao Baitao suddenly raised her head, looked at Xiao Mian, and asked kindly: "Dad! Tell me the truth: did mother really die of old age?"

"..., why do you say that?"

"As far as I know: although mother is older than you, she is not much older. According to the normal life span of a Yuanying ancestor of a thousand years, she should not die!"

"..."

"Dad! Is there something..."

"Yes! There is a secret. Since you want to know, I will tell you, because I think: you have the right to know!"

Take a deep breath, Xiao Mian told Xiao Baitao's life story.

"How...how could this happen? Did I kill mother?"

"That's not the case! It was me - I was not by your side when you and your daughter needed me the most, so you suffered!"

The father and daughter looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

"Where are the murderers?"

"They are all dead - I didn't spare any of them! But what's the use?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Baitao wanted to say something, but she just sighed

Yes!

What's the use?

Xuancao is dead, and her and Xiao Mian's home is no longer complete!

"Taozi! Listen to me: your ability is very powerful and dangerous!" Facing Xiao Baitao, Xiao Mian talked about business: "The most important thing for me to return to Nanyue this time is to eliminate your cultivation and help you rebuild your foundation!"

"Why do you want to do this?"

"Come with me!"

After speaking, Xiao Mian took Xiao Baitao into the fairy stone space.

Just under the three sacred trees, Xiao Baitao saw Xuancao's grave.

The grief that had just been suppressed was revealed again, and Xiao Baitao knelt in front of the grave.

Let Xiao Baitao cry for a while, and then Xiao Mian pulled Xiao Baitao up and came to the most central and strongest of the three sacred trees.

The immortal sacred tree!

Although this immortal tree is far from being comparable to the immortal tree in the Valley of Life and Death in appearance, it is still better than the immortal tree.

The immortal tree in the Valley of Life and Death is already worse than death.

This immortal tree in the Immortal Stone Space is immortal!

Xiao Baitao sat cross-legged under the immortal tree, and Xiao Mian sat down with him. With a wave of his hand, he took out the "Nine Turns of Immortality" and "One Breath of Immortality".

"Taozi! You should be able to recite these two exercises by heart, right?"

"Yes! Taozi has been practicing these two exercises for a hundred years!"

"Okay! Now I want you to break down these two exercises one by one, and change to another one every other sentence. Try practicing like this!"

"This... won't this lead to obsession?"

"With Dad here, what are you afraid of?"

"..., okay!"

Nodding, Xiao Baitao was also aroused by Xiao Mian's proposal.

According to Xiao Mian's suggestion, Xiao Baitao began to try to practice these two exercises in a staggered manner. Not to mention, one sentence at a time, it was smooth.

Gradually, Xiao Baitao entered a state of selflessness...

Seeing this, Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no problem at the beginning, which meant that this alternative practice method from the Lord of Life and Death was probably correct. Perhaps, this was the correct way to practice these two exercises.

Even so, Xiao Mian did not dare to take it lightly.

The Spirit-Seeing Eye always enveloped Xiao Baitao. Once anything went wrong, Xiao Mian would stop Xiao Baitao with the attributes of his own Sanqing Guiyuan Body.

Fortunately, there was no problem.

As time went on, a mysterious energy sprouted in Xiao Baitao's body, which was neither the energy of life nor the energy of death, but like the combination of life and death.

In this way, the true energy in Xiao Baitao's body would not cancel each other out.

What's more, this mysterious true energy was extremely destructive.

Xiao Mian secretly simulated this mysterious true essence in his mind and found that if the true essence of ordinary attributes wanted to resist this true essence, it would need double the capacity.

In other words, the quality of Xiao Baitao's true essence is twice that of ordinary true essence!

Don't underestimate this difference, this is a qualitative difference. When the realms of both parties are not much different, this is enough to make Xiao Baitao invincible at the same level.

After reaching this conclusion, Xiao Mian terminated Xiao Baitao's experiment.

"How is it?"

"It really works!" Xiao Baitao, although more than a hundred years old, has always been like a baby. In addition, cultivators have always been indifferent to life and death. Such an amazing change has happened to him. Xiao Baitao gradually let go of the death of Xuancao. It was Xiao Mian who said kindly: "Taozi! The question I'm asking you now is very important: Do you want to live a peaceful life, or do you want to live without regrets?"

"This... Dad! What do you mean?"

"If you want to live a peaceful life, with your current cultivation, I can guarantee that you can successfully condense your infant. After condensing your infant, you can live for a thousand years. I can guarantee that you will be worry-free!"

"What if Taozi wants to have no regrets?"

"Then, I'm afraid you will have a very difficult road!"

"Dad! What do you think Taozi should choose?"

"Dad naturally hopes that you will live a peaceful life, and I think your mother must think so too! But your life is your own, and you must walk the road yourself!"

"I want - no regrets!"

Facing Xiao Mian's eyes, Xiao Baitao's eyes sparkled.

"Okay! I will first dissolve your current Jindan cultivation and let you start over - you know? Dad also took this step back then!"

"Really? Then I'm more confident!"

"However, this road is not easy to walk, you have to be prepared!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Baitao nodded, and suddenly looked stunned. In front of Xiao Mian, she poured out a bird egg from the spirit beast bracelet on her wrist.

"What is this?" Even with Xiao Mian's eyesight, he couldn't tell which demon bird the bird egg belonged to. Xiao Baitao was also embarrassed: "More than a hundred years ago, Senior Brother Luo Hou helped me collect the "Nine Turns of Immortality" and "One Breath of Longevity", and also gave me this strange bird egg. I have always wanted to hatch this bird egg to see what kind of bird it is, but I have never succeeded. I didn't expect that today suddenly..."

"Oh? What a coincidence?"

As Xiao Mian said this, the bird egg made a cracking sound.

Seeing that it was about to break out of the shell, Xiao Mian's mind moved and hid his body.

The next moment, a chick's head the size of a longan broke out of the shell. Before Xiao Baitao could exclaim, another almost identical head arched out.

Two chicks headed towards Xiao Baitao, chirping.

"This... is this a double yolk egg!?"

"I don't think so!" Xiao Mian showed up, and the egg completely broke out of the shell, revealing a hen-sized monster bird.

One body, two heads - it looks like an ice and fire dragon!

Xiao Baitao was still curious about the appearance of the two-headed strange bird, but the two-headed strange bird had already fluttered its wings and pounced into Xiao Baitao's arms, looking for food with its two heads.

Obviously, this two-headed strange bird regarded Xiao Baitao as its mother...

Xiao Mian saw it and his mind moved.

Two spiritual fruits fell off the immortal tree by themselves - one immortal fruit and one immortal fruit, and appeared in front of Xiao Baitao.

Xiao Baitao was also smart, and quickly took the two spiritual fruits.

But which spiritual fruit should be fed to which head?

Without waiting for Xiao Baitao to make a decision, the two heads of the two-headed strange bird chose a spiritual fruit by themselves, swallowed it into their mouths, and swallowed it into their stomachs.

The next moment, the two-headed strange bird kicked its legs and fell into a coma.

"This... Dad! Your spiritual fruit is not poisonous, right?"

"Don't worry! They-it's fine!"

Two heads, one body, is it it or them?

"Dad! What kind of monster is this?"

"You don't know, how can Dad know?" Xiao Baitao's question was blocked by a word, and Xiao Mian said in a gentle voice: "Are you ready? I'm going to start!"

"Okay!"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Baitao sat cross-legged.

At that moment, Xiao Mian personally took action to dissolve the golden elixir in Xiao Baitao's body. The pain was unbearable for ordinary people. Fortunately, Xiao Mian had foresight and used all kinds of means to try to minimize the pain Xiao Baitao endured.

The next moment, Xiao Baitao's golden elixir cultivation was empty.

Without the support of cultivation, Xiao Baitao's face, which was originally sixteen or seventeen, aged rapidly, and she looked like she was seventy or eighty years old, and was about to die.

Xiao Mian had expected this and reached out to grab Xiao Baitao's wrist.

The next moment, a beam of blood poured from Xiao Mian's body into Xiao Baitao's body...

The blood continued, and Xiao Baitao's body began to gradually rejuvenate.

The blood of the real dragon is extraordinary!

When Xiao Mian treated Gui Hai in Shichahai, Xishuzhou, he mentioned to the holy monk Jiaye intentionally or unintentionally that he could prolong his life with the blood of the real dragon.

The answer given by the holy monk Jiaye was that it was not feasible!

According to the holy monk Jiaye, the life span of each person is a secret of heaven!

Just like the time when Gui Hai was here, the ox-headed and horse-faced demons in the netherworld were waiting to take Gui Hai's soul, but Xiao Mian intervened and extended Gui Hai's life.

The reason why Xiao Mian was able to extend Gui Hai's life was because when Gui Hai was reborn, he absorbed a lot of Xiao Mian's blood, and the two could be said to be blood relatives.

Besides, Xuancao and Xiao Baitao were originally biological mother and daughter. At that time, Xiao Baitao had not even cut off the umbilical cord, so it could be said that one life was divided between the two.

Besides, it is extremely difficult to lend one person's lifespan to another person - Xiao Baitao's special spiritual roots are an exception.

Xiao Mian originally wanted to absorb the lifespan of the real dragon's spiritual blood and then share it with Hemerocallis. After a trial, it was indeed not feasible.

But today, Xiao Baitao's own situation is special, and she is Xiao Mian's blood relative. After a trial, Xiao Baitao's lifespan began to increase continuously.

When it increased to the equivalent of 300 years of lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator, Xiao Mian stopped.

Xiao Baitao's real lifespan is only more than 100 years now. 300 years of lifespan is enough for her to successfully form a pill and then increase her lifespan limit.

Besides, Xiao Baitao at this time has no cultivation, just like an ordinary person.

Xiao Mian took out a little more Hunyuan Jinye and diluted it infinitely. Suddenly, there was a bang, and the Hunyuan Jinye turned into a ball of crimson-purple Hunyuan purple air.

Xiao Baitao also knew the opportunity, and hurriedly sat cross-legged and operated the mysterious skills.

Seeing Xiao Baitao looming in a ball of purple air, Xiao Mian remained calm.

This ball of Hunyuan purple air, which was infinitely diluted by a drop of Hunyuan Jinye, was enough for Xiao Baitao to successfully build a foundation. Next, Xiao Baitao could practice step by step.

Glancing at the two-headed strange bird again, Xiao Mian took out a little Hunyuan Jinye, diluted it into Hunyuan purple air, and enveloped the two-headed strange bird.

Although the origin of this two-headed strange bird is unknown, it is extremely powerful.

Fortunately, this is the fairy stone space, and everything is under Xiao Mian's control. Xiao Mian is not worried about Xiao Baitao's safety. After doing all this, Xiao Mian left the fairy stone space.

Coincidentally, at this moment, someone came from afar to see Xiao Mian.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Xiao Mian sighed lightly, but a smile rose from the heart.

"Brother! I've heard about Sister Xuancao..." Coming to Xiao Mian, the man said kindly: "The dead are gone, the living mourn!"

"Yes! I will!" Looking at the man so close, Xiao Mian sighed softly: "Qingguoer! Are you all right in Nanyan?"

Qingguoer——Ye Qingguo!

Ye Qingguo, who was far away in the demonic realm of Nanyan, heard that Xiao Mian returned to Nanyue alone, and heard the news of Xuancao's death. She was afraid that Xiao Mian would be sad, so she returned to Nanyue.

Xuanlang's whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is unknown.

Of the three people who were mixed in the northern grasslands back then, only the two of them are left.

Sitting cross-legged, the two of them faced each other, saying nothing, just drinking quietly.

After drinking a pot of turbid wine, Xiao Mian stood up.

"Brother! Are you leaving again?"

"Yes! But this time I should be back soon!"

"Okay!" Standing up and looking at Xiao Mian, Ye Qingguo smiled faintly: "I'll wait here! In case brother comes back, there will be no one to talk to!"

"...Okay!"

After saying that, Xiao Mian slowly rose into the air and flew away.

On the vast northern grassland, only Ye Qingguo was left, standing alone in the wind.
