Chapter 245
Emperor Yonghe said:
"All mortals will eventually die, even the emperor. But the survival of my Yan family is more important than my personal survival."
"So it is not so important whether I practice martial arts or not. What is important is whether the martial arts of my ancestors can be further improved."
"If the ancestors are evergreen, they can ensure that the foundation of the ancestors of Great Yan will be immortal forever."
"Then this world will eventually belong to my Great Yan. The foundation passed down by Taizu can also be passed down to future generations."
The life span of a mortal emperor is no different from that of an ordinary person. He will die after all.
If he can live forever, he naturally wants to be an immortal emperor, but this is impossible.
Then he can only settle for the second best, sit firmly on the throne of Great Yan, and pass it on to future generations.
Emperor Yonghe's eyes are deep. In fact, the opportunity he is waiting for, although it is not a perfect opportunity, but there is still hope for a Yan Shenji to continue to improve his martial arts.
The longer the delay, the more natural treasures can be found, and the higher the ancestor's skills can be.
Now he is not a match for the alien, so if he waits for a few decades or hundreds of years, there may be hope.
But this made Yan Shenji look sideways:
"The survival of the Yan family is more important than his own survival... It can be regarded as a bit of a pattern."
Yan Shenji actually didn't like Emperor Yonghe, a descendant of the royal family, but now he has a slightly better view of him.
He has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and his seniority is very high, but he never asks about political affairs, and is only obsessed with martial arts.
All he heard was that Emperor Yonghe and the previous emperor had fallen from the royal family's prestige, so naturally he didn't have a good impression.
And he actually had some grudges in his heart.
"Although he has a bit of vision, his vision is too poor." Yan Shenji said bluntly:
"Forty or fifty years ago, the boy surnamed Wu and the boy surnamed Hu were both martial arts geniuses, both excellent uncut jades."
"As a result, you have sent them to the rivers and lakes. Where are the martial arts talents worth using in the court now?"
"Hai Wuya is half a martial arts genius, but forty years ago, he was not interested in martial arts and had no intention of practicing martial arts. Later, he seemed to have taken a side path and was ultimately useless."
"Ahem. Ancestor, I actually came here for something important." Emperor Yonghe hurriedly changed the subject.
At this time, Emperor Yonghe called the eunuch behind him, opened the jade box in his hand, and revealed the winter snow lotus inside.
Yan Shenji and the emperors of all dynasties are from the same family, and the country's prosperity has continued to this day because of mutual support.
Yan Shenji needs a large amount of precious medicinal materials to prolong life or increase power.
Emperors of all dynasties also needed Yan Shenji's high-powered force. Generally speaking, super-class warriors can also be killed by the army of mortals, but a lot of people are needed.
Some super-class warriors with good light skills, such as the "Eight-armed Sky Dragon" who was superb in light skills forty years ago, could even fly eight steps in the air with his light skills. Even if he was trapped in the army, he could escape calmly.
If these individual super-class warriors who are not suitable for the mortal army really want to come to the palace at night, then the face of the royal family will be gone.
Yan Shenji is such a sea-stabilizing magic needle.
He doesn't take action casually, but when he does, he will deal with the most powerful people in the world who are extremely difficult to deal with.
Of course, except for the strange people.
"Hmm? You are sensible, kid." Yan Shenji narrowed his eyes and praised:
"With this winter snow lotus, my precious medicine can also be opened."
In the ordinary way of practicing martial arts, even if you practice in the three hottest days of summer and the three coldest days of winter, it is only the basic quality of becoming a martial arts master.
For a true strong man, it is not enough to just work hard. Working hard is just basic skills, and it is impossible to be an enemy of the immortal gate.
The Qiao family members spend their lives, the martial saints spend other people's lives, and the Great Yan royal family spends money. Everyone has a bright future.
Chapter 259 The Qiao family is on the list of Tingchao Tower Masters (4k
After talking about the natural treasures, Emperor Yonghe tried to change the subject and talk about the business in Daqin City, wanting to hear the opinion of this royal family's Dinghaishenzhen.
But when it comes to this topic, Yan Shenji is obviously a little uninterested and not interested.
Emperor Yonghe also knows the temper of the ancestor. He doesn't like politics, but only likes martial arts, so he continues to change the style:
"Speaking of which, the Qiao family who have emerged in Daqin City are really extraordinary."
Emperor Yonghe said:
"The Qiao family is a very mysterious martial arts family. It is said that they have lived on the overseas Xiake Island for generations. They have only been born in recent years and are very mysterious."
"More importantly, this Qiao family seems to have some connection with the Heyang Qiao family who practice Changshengquan. They also practice Changshengquan, and there are also many centenarian elders among them. . "
"Of course, they are estimated to be just over a hundred years old. Of course, they are extremely long-lived in the secular world and can be called centenarians, but compared with the ancestors, they are naturally not as good as a finger."
"A young Qiao family member who is just over a hundred years old?" Hearing this, Yan Shenji was immediately interested:
"It is interesting, but not very interesting."
The main reason why Yan Shenji is long-lived is that he is gifted and has a body of medicine spirit.
Although there is no elixir of immortality in this world, there are still precious medicines that can prolong life, but they are quite rare.
In fact, they are not that rare. The main reason is that most of the natural treasures in this world have owners, either controlled by immortal cultivators or occupied by monsters.
For the rest, only some extremely lucky people who are chosen by heaven, and powerful figures like mortal emperors, have the opportunity to get them.
Moreover, this life-extending medicine is generally only effective for the first time. The second and third time you take it, the effect of the medicine will often weaken quickly... Not only the life-extending medicine, but also other century-old red fruits that increase one's power, and even immortal cultivators. Refined elixirs cannot escape this rule.
Therefore, even those who are cultivators of immortality cannot forcefully extend their lifespan too much through the life-extending medicine. Most of them will have a certain limit.
The Flame God Machine is different.
So far, he has not noticed the decline in the efficacy of the life-extending medicine--maybe the body of the medicine spirit may not be able to take unlimited medicine, but he has not yet reached the limit of his physical constitution.
A simple hundred-year-old warrior is actually not qualified to be in his eyes.
As the royal family's Dinghai Shenzhen, he has made very few moves in the past hundred years, but he has basically dealt with the top talents of the contemporary era, so he naturally has a very high vision.
When Emperor Yonghe said that the Qiao family was old and a long-lived family, Yan Shenji didn't take it seriously.
But when he talked about Qiao Miao killing the King of Qin and defeating immortals with force, the Yan Shen Ji also listened with great interest, and his eyes were obviously a little brighter.
"Ancestor, please be patient for a little longer." Seeing this, Emperor Yonghe sighed slightly in his heart:
"I also know that my ancestor has a bad temper and has the legacy of Taizu, but this matter involves the country, the country, and the country, so please put the overall situation first."
This Yanshenji is actually a martial arts legend of his generation.
Since Taizu founded the country three hundred years ago, apart from Taizu himself, the only super-class among the royal family is Yanshenji.
It is said that Yan Shenji was Taizu's favorite grandson at that time, with a temper as strong as that of the founder of the country. He ran away from the palace in anger when he was young, and worked hard to become a famous person in the world as a noble man.
It is said that Yan Shenji accidentally obtained the Centennial Red Fruit when he was a young man going out to explore, and then he gradually learned about his unique physique, and he became a martial arts legend from then on.
At its peak, it was once ranked third on the Tingchao Lou list.
Although he was not as powerful as the founder of the country, he conquered the Great Yan Dynasty as an unparalleled warrior, but he also created a huge reputation in the world.
People at that time said that Yan Shenji, the emperor's grandson, had the legacy of Taizu, and it was not unreasonable.
Just hearing Emperor Yonghe's words of praise, Yan Shenji sneered:
"Don't try to flatter me. What kind of proud person is Taizu?"
"If I had a really strong temper and couldn't get sand in my eyes, I should have been fighting against the Immortal Sect during the Inhuman War forty years ago. How could I have survived until now?"
Speaking of this, Yanshenji was also sighing:
"After all, I am getting old, and I am no longer the same as before."
"It's not that people grow old, it's that their hearts grow old."
“Throughout the past dynasties, how many emperors and geniuses had great ambitions in their prime, but then in middle age and later in life, they indulged in sex and sex?”
"Time is the most ruthless thing, beauties will fade, heroes will always grow old, and old age is the norm."
"The world is like a great tide that ebbs and flows. How can a human heart resist the erosion of time?"
Emperor Yonghe was silent and stopped talking.
This ancestor of the royal family is still too old after all, and sometimes he always talks about past events.
"The spirit of our ancestors is not inferior to that of the past. No one in this world can be like our ancestors." Emperor Yonghe said quickly:
"Human beings live for two hundred years. Looking across the land of Nine Provinces, I'm afraid I won't be able to find any outstanding person who can live longer than our ancestors and who can withstand the erosion of time."
"Everyone says that the Qiao family is a rare longevity family, with several centenarians. But they only know the name of the Qiao family and don't know that the ancestors in the palace are still alive."
Of course, when comparing age, the default is to exclude immortal cultivators.
"Hey, who am I compared to a young man who is over a hundred years old? Isn't this bullying?" Yan Shenji waved his hand.
"That's strange to say." Emperor Yonghe said:
"The Qiao family has produced many martial artists, and they all get stronger as they get older. The older they are, the more profound their skills are."
"But now there is Qiao Miao who has died in the battle, and Qiao Shuangmao. They are both white-haired middle-aged men, younger, and stronger than their Qiao family members. "
Yan Shenji didn't pay much attention when he first heard this, but his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this:
"Oh, it seems that the Qiao family's kung fu can be considered authentic?"
"What does ancestor mean?" Emperor Yonghe was a little confused.
"You don't even understand this... I asked you to practice martial arts earlier. Why have you been doing it? You have wasted so many years." Yan Shenji waved his hand:
"Didn't you say that the Qiao family on the overseas knight island also practices Changshengquan?"
"This Immortality Fist has the effect of being old and not fading, but it is extremely difficult. In terms of attack power, it is not as good as other boxing techniques. It is far inferior to practicing the "Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu" and "The Vajra Indestructible Magic Kung Fu"... so it is very... Few people can show off."
"In the three hundred years since the founding of the country, I am the only one who can become famous in this longevity boxing."
"Now it seems that those former elders of the Qiao family were all not famous for practicing Changshengquan, or their boxing skills were not high enough, and they could no longer prevent the loss of energy and blood, and they were showing their old age."
"As for that Qiao Shuangmu you are talking about?" Yan Shenji pondered for a moment:
"Since he is stronger than other clan elders... this person's real age and seniority may be higher than those of the previous elders. It's just that his Immortality Fist realm is higher, so his energy and blood have not declined too much. ”
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Emperor Yonghe was also surprised.
He doesn't practice martial arts, so he naturally doesn't understand the secrets of Changsheng Fist.
"Then could it be that Qiao Shuangzhao is also over a hundred years old? How can a mortal live so long?" Emperor Yonghe was also surprised when he thought of this.
"It is indeed difficult for a mortal to live so long. I just said so, don't take it seriously." Yan Shenji said lightly:
"It is more likely that... Qiao Shuangzhao is a genius of the Qiao family, so he has less time to practice martial arts, but his martial arts cultivation is higher."
"After all, martial arts training is not about age. The older the person, the higher the martial arts. If martial arts training is still based on seniority, it would be too boring."
Speaking of this, Yan Shenji became interested in Qiao Shuangzhao, who looked middle-aged in the mouth of Emperor Yonghe:
"My Changsheng Fist has reached perfection now. Even the former Heyang Qiao family's hundred-year-old master is not as good as me. If I fight with this boy once or twice, I should be able to estimate his actual age."
"Is Qiao Shuangzhao a martial arts genius or a hundred-year-old man? You will know once we fight."
"Has the boxing skills of our ancestors reached such an incredible level?" Yonghe Emperor He could vaguely hear that Yan Shenji was interested in leaving the palace, and hurriedly said, "But it's a troubled time recently, so it's better for the old ancestor not to leave the palace."
"Why are you so boring, kid?" Yan Shenji was a little dissatisfied and waved his hand:
"I just mentioned it, and I didn't say I would really leave the palace... That's all. When the people in Tingchao Tower come up with a new main list, you can send someone to send it to me."
"I'm a little interested. Is the young man from the Qiao family called Qiao Miao or Qiao Shuangzhao? This time he made such a big splash. What kind of name can he get in the four main lists of strength, strength, and skills of Tingchao Tower?"
"I haven't been in the world for many years, so I don't know much about the depth of the world in this era."
Yan Shenji was quite interested in the affairs of the world, but not very interested in the important affairs of the court.
Emperor Yonghe tried to change the subject several times and wanted to hear the views of this royal Dinghaishen on political affairs, but the latter casually changed the subject back, so he had to give up.
The two talked for about half an hour before Emperor Yonghe stood up to say goodbye.
But he was also a little helpless.
It was true that the ancestor was the pillar of the royal family, but in fact he was more like a fierce dragon in a cage.
Although he also needed Emperor Yonghe to spend manpower and material resources to pick the longevity medicine, in the end, Emperor Yonghe needed this pillar more.
He was already very old, but he still cared about the feelings of the royal family, so he lived in the deep palace for many years, and almost no one in the outside world knew of his existence.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace only knew roughly that there was such a royal elder with a very high generation in the palace, but they didn't know his specific age and identity.
