"Do I no longer need to refer to myself as an old woman?"
Granny Sha froze, immense joy surging into her heart, momentarily bringing tears to her eyes and a sour sensation to her nose as they uncontrollably filled her eyes.
Just now, she had mentioned she still had twenty-four years left to live, not caring much for living an extra year or two, but what if she could live an extra five hundred years?
What if she could return to her younger self?
Old woman, granny—these titles that once fit her no longer applied!
At this moment, she was in her sixties, and with over five hundred years of life left to live, she was still in her youth!
Returning Void Realm, Mahayana Realm—formerly unreachable realms of cultivation suddenly seemed not so distant. Even if she couldn’t achieve Mahayana in ten years, she could use centuries to break through, without the need to hurry!
She often felt old, no longer interested in all sorts of things, as old people should be.
But now she suddenly realized, she wasn’t old at all, she still had plenty of things to do!
Right, she could still find a young companion, angering that old geezer Xiang Yunfei to death!
She walked around excitedly. The clothes she wore in her youth could be taken out and worn again; there was no need for her to dress in a way that made her look older.
Also, the next time she performed rituals, shaking the Wenwang Drum, who would dare call her an old witch or old mother?
She should be called a goddess!
Bubbling with excitement, she ran into her room, rummaged through her belongings, and finally found the clothes from her younger days. Even though they smelled musty, she dressed eagerly, leaped into the courtyard, and called out, "Little Ten, do I look good? Right, you can’t call me granny, call me aunt... no, that won’t do, I might still snag an old man... call me sister!"
Granny Sha, with a stern face, grabbed Chen Shi by the collar and lifted him up: "From now on, in front of others, especially young men, remember to call me Sister Sha, understand?"
Chen Shi nodded hastily.
Granny Sha put him down, still in an excited state, finding it hard to calm down.
Chen Shi took a long look. After Granny Sha rejuvenated, she indeed was a great beauty—tall and with a good demeanor—though her clothes were a bit old-fashioned.
"It appears that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will still become ugly when old," he thought to himself, "so there’s no need to marry someone just for their looks."
When Granny Sha calmed down, Chen Shi picked another ginseng grass fruit and said, "Have another one, granny."
Following his words, Granny Sha took it, and Chen Shi asked with concern, "Did your lifespan increase further?"
Granny Sha replied, "My lifespan did increase, but not by much. My lifespan limit is now five hundred and forty-eight years."
Chen Shi pondered, "So there is a limit to how much lifespan one kind of Spirit Grass can extend. After reaching the limit, no matter how much more one consumes, it will not prolong life."
Granny Sha chuckled, "Indeed, that is said to be the case. I’ve heard that the elders of powerful families consume all sorts of spiritual elixirs to extend their lives and should not always use the same kind. That’s probably the reason why. Little Ten, how did you make the ginseng grass fruit increase my lifespan?"
Chen Shi shared Li Tianqing’s discovery, saying, "Tianqing said it was probably because the Spiritual Medicine absorbed the sunlight from the ancestral lands, granting them the effect of extending life. So, I planted ginseng grass outside my little temple and irrigated them with Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi, and they bore new fruits that can prolong life."
Granny Sha surveyed his little temple behind him and saw there were indeed over a dozen ginseng grass plants.
However, Chen Shi’s temple wasn’t large, and there wasn’t much land around it, so it seemed unlikely that many Spirit Plants could be grown.
"Little Ten, don’t let the word out about your temple’s Spirit Medicine that can prolong life."
Granny Sha pondered for a while, then said, "Your temple is small, but too powerful; if word gets out, you won’t be able to protect it. If a being from the Mahayana Realm comes to take it, even me and the green sheep wouldn’t be able to defend it. Moreover, places where Spirit Medicine exists are often the temples of China’s divine beings. Not many of these temples have Spirit Medicine, and if this news were to spread, the already dwindling number of temples would probably be destroyed completely. Furthermore, if these temples show any unusual phenomenon, they could be destroyed by the Outer Heaven True God. It is best not to invite unnecessary trouble."
Chen Shi nodded lightly.
He had no intention of spreading the word either. Even if his small temple could produce life-extending Spiritual Medicine, the yield was pitifully small, and it would bring him enormous danger.
"Little Ten, have you taken any yourself?"
Granny Sha laughed, "You should take some too, it can extend your life!"
Chen Shi shook his head, "I don’t need it, my life is long."
Granny Sha laughed, "Your life is long, but is it as long as mine?"
Chen Shi was very clear about his own lifespan, "I have one thousand three hundred years of life."
Granny Sha was silent for a long time, "How did you cultivate it?"
Chen Shi recounted his and Li Tianqing’s discoveries, and Granny Sha frowned upon hearing that one had to discard their cultivation level and start over from an ancient Chinese temple. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Li Tianqing had risked his life and shown great courage to discard his Golden Core and start over to verify this theory.
But Granny Sha was already at the Refining God level, among the top beings of the world. If she discarded her cultivation to re-cultivate, the danger would be even greater. During the process of discarding her cultivation, she might just lose her life.
——The higher the cultivation, the greater the danger in discarding it.
"If I can’t reach Mahayana in these five hundred additional years, then even a thousand years extension would not be enough to reach the Mahayana level."
She had a clear understanding and smiled, "There’s essentially no difference between five hundred and a thousand years, so there’s no point in making a fuss about it. I’m going to the county to buy some new clothes."
As it happened, Chen Shi was also going to the county, so they went together.
