Great Spirit.

Danding Sect, inside the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Su Xing looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he picked off a 'Purple Ginseng Grass' in the medicine garden and hid it in his sleeve.

After doing all this, Su Xing took a deep breath and inadvertently glanced at the exit of the elixir garden.

fine.

Fu Qingsong, the manager of the elixir garden, was lying on a wicker chair with his eyes closed to meditate as usual.

Manager Fu has a habit of taking a nap after noon every day. This is Su Xing's experience gained through careful observation over the past month.

Taking this opportunity, Su Xing walked quickly outside the spiritual medicine garden quietly.

but....

Just when Su Xing was about to walk out of the spiritual medicine garden, Manager Fu's voice came faintly: "Are you leaving at this time without even saying a word to me?"

As the medicine boy of the elixir garden, Su Xing had to go to the medicine garden every day to work, and could not leave until the You hour.

If converted to a 24-hour clock, it is equivalent to working 11 hours a day.

Don't be lazy or leave early during this period.

According to the internal regulations of the Danding Sect, if Su Xing leaves the elixir garden at this time, he must inform Manager Fu in advance.

Outside the elixir garden.

Hearing Manager Fu's voice, Su Xing had no choice but to turn around.

There was no expression on his face: "Manager Fu, I just saw that you were taking a lunch break, so I didn't dare to go up and disturb you."

"Um...."

Manager Fu was lying on the wicker chair, motionless: "Why did you leave early?"

Su Xing said respectfully: "I feel unwell."

Manager Fu sat up.

He glanced at Su Xing's sleeves and said, "You were in the garden just now. You probably didn't take anything you shouldn't have, right?"

Manager Fu's words made Su Xing's heart tighten.

Could it be that this old man discovered his little trick?

But this is impossible.

When Old Man Fu took a nap, he always had his back to the elixir garden. How could he possibly know that he had stolen the 'Purple Ginseng Grass'?

Before Su Xing could speak, Manager Fu said again: "You also know the rules of the sect. If you don't want this matter to get into trouble, just hand me twenty spiritual stones. I will suffer a little loss and help you throw it away."

I'll give you the elixir and this matter will be over."

Twenty spiritual stones?

After hearing what Manager Fu said, Su Xing couldn't help but secretly scolded him for being evil-hearted.

——He gets up early and stays up late every day, working day and night in the elixir garden, and only receives four spiritual stones in a month.

Calculate it accordingly.

Su Xing had to work hard for five months to save twenty spiritual stones.

Five months of labor in exchange for immunity from sect punishment sounds acceptable, but this is not the case.

It’s different from Su Xing’s previous life.

In the world he travels through, whether he is a cultivator or a commoner, his remaining lifespan will be displayed on his chest.

Moreover, the life span of most of these people is between 20 and 50 years old.

Among them, people who can live over 40 or even 50 years are called longevity species.

People like Su Xing, whose life span is under 30 years old, are called short-lived species.

Although everyone in this world has a short lifespan, in the world of immortality, there is a cheap 'life-span medicine' that can extend the life of those who swallow it.

This medicine can only be purchased with spirit stones, and only monks can swallow it.

For those whose life span is less than 40 years old, each pill swallowed can extend their life by one month.

For those whose life expectancy is over 40 but less than 60, each time they swallow one longevity pill, their life span can be extended by half a month.

By analogy, the longer the life span of the person who swallows it, the lower the life extension effect.

In addition, every time a monk breaks through a major realm, although it cannot directly increase his life span, it can greatly enhance the life-extending effect of the life-span medicine.

Therefore, the higher the cultivation level, the longer life will be.

As an earthling, Su Xing traveled through time and space into a short-lived species whose lifespan was only 23 years old and who only had Qi training period.

When he traveled through time, the original owner was already in poverty and had less than two months left to live.

In order to survive, Su Xing needs to spend spiritual stones every month to buy life-span medicine, otherwise, he will die due to the exhaustion of his life span.

But the problem is.

A life-span medicine requires five spiritual stones to purchase, but Su Xing's monthly income is only four spiritual stones.

Unable to make ends meet, his lifespan is decreasing every month.

Even though Su Xing spent all his spiritual stones on buying longevity medicine, four months later, he still only had 10 days left to live.

So, Su Xing doesn't even have enough spiritual stones to buy the life-span medicine, so where can he get twenty spiritual stones to honor the lion-mouthed Manager Fu?

In desperation, Su Xing pulled open the clothes on his chest, revealing a blood-red "ten" on it: "Manager Fu, look at me, I'm almost dead. Why did I steal those herbs when I had nothing to do?"

The word '十' on Su Xing's chest represents the 10 days he has left to live.

In the world of immortality, there are two types of people that monks recognize as not to mess with.

The first type of people are high-level monks whose cultivation is higher than themselves. Needless to say, this goes without saying.

The second middle class is a short-lived type like Su Xing, who has a certain level of cultivation and whose life span is approaching.

When a person is about to die, he can do anything.

Outside the elixir garden.

Looking at the life span displayed on Su Xing's chest, Manager Fu showed a hint of fear in his eyes, and at the same time, he felt a hint of understanding in his heart.

It's obvious.

The reason why Su Xing stole the elixir was to exchange the elixir for spiritual stones and buy life-span elixirs to extend his life.

This is a poor man, and a short-lived poor man.

Manager Fu was not willing to take the initiative to provoke such a short-lived ghost without any profit or water.

After all, a plant of 'Purple Ginseng Grass' is not worth much money.

After hesitating for a moment, Manager Fu waved his hand: "Since you are not feeling well, then rest for a few more days, and you should not come again during this period."

Seeing that the other party intended to let him go, Su Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Thank you, Manager Fu, for your understanding!"

…

Most of the sects in the world of cultivating immortals are built based on spiritual veins.

Just like the Danding Sect.

Since the spiritual energy of the sect is located at the top of the mountain, the closer it is to the top of the mountain, the denser the spiritual energy is, and the people who live there are often people like the elders of the sect.

And low-level immortal cultivators like Su Xing can only live at the foot of the mountain in the same courtyard with other Qi-training monks.

The lower-level cultivators have to work every day.

It was not long after afternoon and it was working time. After Su Xing returned to the house, he did not see any other monks.

Since there was no one around, Su Xing planned to continue researching the formula of longevity medicine.

Privately researching the formula of longevity medicine is taboo in the world of immortality, but in order to survive, Su Xing, a short-lived species, had to do this.

For some unknown reason, the Heavenly Court once issued a ban: no monks are strictly prohibited from refining the longevity medicine privately, otherwise there will be unpredictable consequences.

Anyone who violates the rules of heaven will be executed.

Although it is impossible for heaven to pay attention to a monk like Su Xing who comes from the bottom.

Although every year, countless monks ignore heaven's ban and study the formula of life-span medicine in private, and they are not sanctioned by heaven.

But in the final analysis, secretly refining medicine is ultimately shady.

It would be best if this kind of thing could not be discovered.

in the room.

After closing the door, Su Xing took out the notes from the secret compartment under the bed and read through his research results on life-span medicine again.

The appearance of longevity medicine is blood red.

It looks like a meat ball the size of a pigeon egg.
