The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 711: Chapter 711 Unbelievable

The Longevity Pill was not a type of elixir used for cultivation; it took effect very quickly, and the Martial Artist needed very little time to absorb its effects.

Within just less than two hours, Yan Chao had completely absorbed a Perfect Quality Longevity Pill.

The excitement and exhilaration in Yan Chao’s heart reached an unparalleled level.

His previously white hair had now all turned to black.

He stood up.

His previously hunched body was gone, his entire body now erect.

”Longevity Pill... Longevity Pill!”

”Who could have imagined that our Heavenly Origin Continent could possess such a miraculous elixir? What Hall Master Jing Yan said wasn’t an exaggeration at all, rather it was an understatement.”

”Not only has my life span increased significantly, but the lingering ailments from injuries I sustained during my youth seem to have also largely recovered.”

With turbulent emotions, Yan Chao walked out of the room. At this time, the high-ranking members of the Yan Family were still anxiously waiting outside. Upon seeing the ancestor Yan Chao emerge, each one’s gaze sharpened.

Because the changes in Ancestor Yan Chao were too great, even ordinary people could see the changes in Yan Chao’s body at a glance, let alone these powerful Martial Artists.

When the Yan Family Patriarch and others first laid eyes on Yan Chao, they were all startled, even scared for a moment; they even thought that the person in front might not be their ancestor. However, this thought was fleeting, as they were all too familiar with their ancestor to not recognize him.

”Ancestor!” Everyone greeted him.

Yan Chao waved his hand, ”What are you all doing here? Why aren’t you overseeing the construction of Jing Yan Hall Master’s Daoist ground? Be diligent; there must not be any small mistakes. The building materials used for the Daoist ground must all be top grade!”

Yan Chao ordered everyone.

”Using all top-grade materials? That will increase the costs significantly,” the Yan Family Patriarch was slightly taken aback.

Different building materials differed vastly in price. The price of top-grade building materials was extremely shocking. Even the residence that the Yan Family was currently using wasn’t made mostly of top-grade materials.

”Cost?”

”What does spending a bit more resources matter?” Yan Chao snorted lightly, ”The Longevity Pill that Hall Master Jing Yan refined for me, I just used one. Guess how much my lifespan has increased?”

Yan Chao was in an exceptionally good mood and couldn’t help but tease the younger generation.

”Two hundred years?”

”Could it have increased by three hundred years?”

The Yan Family Patriarch and others, seeing Yan Chao in a good mood, knew why. It must be because the Longevity Pill had very good effects, exceeding expectations!

”Hmph, two hundred, three hundred years? Let me tell you! My lifespan has increased by at least five hundred years!” Yan Chao said, narrowing his eyes.

Earlier at Jing Yan’s residence, Hall Master Jing Yan had said that consuming a Perfect Quality Longevity Pill should increase his lifespan by over three hundred years, which Yan Chao had doubted. But now, his lifespan had indeed increased by a full five hundred years.

Powerful Martial Artists, due to their strong Divine Souls, generally had a rough estimate of their own lifespans.

Not just Martial Artists, but even ordinary people nearing death often have an inexplicable premonition of death. Martial Artists, possessing stronger Divine Souls than ordinary people, had a clearer grasp of their bodily conditions.

Yan Chao, a Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner, naturally knew his lifespan situation.

Hearing what Ancestor Yan Chao said, the Yan Family Patriarch and the others all froze on the spot.

Five hundred years of lifespan?

This sounded almost mythical!

Ancestor Yan Chao was already near death, with at most only a decade or two left. Now, to have suddenly increased by five hundred years of lifespan?

If it weren’t for the ancestor himself saying it, who would believe it?

Chief Housekeeper Mansion of Chang Huan!

The Great Hall Master from the Holy Hall hurried over in haste.

”Great Hall Master, my master is currently in seclusion. Please wait in the guest room,” Chang Huan’s servant told the Great Hall Master.

”Alright, I’ll wait here. Once the Grand Steward comes out of seclusion, immediately tell him that I am waiting here for him; I have matters to discuss,” the Great Hall Master instructed the servant.

Despite knowing Chang Huan was in seclusion, the Great Hall Master was unwilling to leave. His gaze was filled with eagerness.

Because, he had just received news that Hall Master Jing Yan had refined a type of elixir called the Longevity Pill, which had a life-extending effect much better than the Plum Blossom Pill. And the source of this news was none other than the Grand Steward Chang Huan.

If it was an unclear or dubious message, the Great Hall Master would probably scoff at it. But this message came from Grand Steward Chang Huan, and could not be disregarded.

The Great Hall Master was very old, and his life span was already not much, so naturally, he was anxious. Upon receiving the news, he immediately rushed to the Chief Housekeeper Mansion to see Chang Huan and ascertain the truth.

The Great Hall Master sat alone in the guest room for a moment before the Second Hall Master from the Holy Hall came in.

Upon seeing the Great Hall Master, the Second Hall Master’s eyes briefly sharpened, then he smiled.

”Great Hall Master, did you also receive that news?” the Second Hall Master asked with a smile.

”The Second Hall Master is also well-informed,” said the Great Hall Master.

”Hehe, where does that count as being well-informed. This news will probably spread throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Continent soon. It was the Grand Steward himself who ordered the news to be spread,” the Second Hall Master said, shaking his head.

As they were speaking, the Third Hall Master also arrived.

In the Holy Hall, the hall masters were generally ranked according to seniority with higher positions correlating with older age. The ranking of the hall masters wasn’t based on personal strength. For example, the Third Hall Master, Kui Long, was only in the Late Stage Dao Emperor Realm. There were several hall masters ranked after him who were at the Peak of the Dao Emperor Realm.

Of course, this ranking of hall masters had little practical use. Within the Holy Hall, the powers of the hall masters were all equal, and it wasn’t the case that those with higher rankings had greater power.

Jing Yan was the Ten Hall Masters, but Jing Yan’s power was the same as the previous nine hall masters. In terms of official status, the ten hall masters had no hierarchy.

However, personal strength and the power of private troops they controlled were another matter.

After the arrival of the Third Hall Master, he greeted the Great Hall Master and the Second Hall Master, then likewise sat down to wait.

After the Third Hall Master, several more hall masters came in succession. Relatively speaking, they were all of an older age, like the younger Eighth Hall Master Min Huo and Ninth Hall Master, neither of whom appeared.

At this time, Chang Huan was in a secret chamber. Since returning from Jing Yan’s residence, he had first ordered the news of the Longevity Pill’s effects to be spread. Afterwards, he eagerly entered the secret chamber to use the Longevity Pill.

Though Chang Huan was not as urgent as Yan Chao, he was equally curious about the Longevity Pill and wanted to see if it truly had better effects than the Plum Blossom Pill.

A short two hours passed.

Chang Huan opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and his eyes sparkled continuously.

”This... how exactly did Hall Master Jing Yan refine this kind of elixir? The effect is truly, unbelievably astonishing!” Chang Huan said in a low voice, filled with shock.
