Chapter 366 The Secret of Eternal Beauty
"Did you take the longevity pill?"
After a while, he finally asked this question aloud.
It’s no wonder he thought so. After all, he had also heard of the legendary magic pill, the longevity pill.
Decades ago, this elixir was said to be miraculous in Beisha Country. Later, it was said to be a magical elixir refined by a high-level monk. This kind of elixir could not be bought on the market at all. It was extremely expensive on the black market, and there was still a shortage of supply. Even if you had money, you couldn't buy it.
It is said that this elixir can not only bring the dead back to life and prolong life, but also keep one young forever.
At that time, these pills were sold at a crazy price that most people couldn’t afford!
However, later on, it was said that something happened to the eminent monk, and the elixir of longevity disappeared. Some people paid high prices to buy the elixir to study its formula, but no one had ever heard of anyone being able to refine it, so the elixir of longevity became a legend.
Originally, Liu Mao was a little skeptical about this longevity pill, but now seeing Si He's situation, he suddenly remembered this magical pill. Only this kind of magical pill can keep a person's appearance unchanged!
Si He looked at Liu Mao's shocked expression. It was as expected. No one would remain indifferent if they encountered such a thing.
Originally, she wanted to pretend that she didn't know him, but since he came after her to ask, she couldn't deal with it rashly. After all, her story was too unbelievable. For a moment just now, she had the intention to kill him.
If outsiders knew about the matter of immortality, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But unexpectedly, he also knew about the longevity elixir and associated it with this. However, this was a good excuse to cover it up.
"Do you know the longevity elixir?"
She asked cooperatively.
When Liu Mao heard this, he thought to himself, as expected.
He replied, "I've heard of this magical pill before. It's said to bring the dead back to life, prolong life, and also..."
He paused, looked into her unchanging eyes, and said, "Your face never ages."
Si He saw a hint of excitement and greed in his eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly, "Do you know who refined this longevity pill?"
Liu Mao hesitated and said, "It is said that there was a high-ranking monk, Master Zang Nian, but he disappeared more than ten years ago, and the longevity elixir has been out of stock since then."
Hearing this, Si He was not surprised. She guessed that Zang Nian had already become a corpse by now, but she didn't know where he was hiding. After all, it was the limit for a half-corpse person to live for more than ten years. It would be strange if there was any news about him in the world.
"Have you heard any news about the medicinal flower in these years?"
When Liu Mao heard this question, he was a little confused and surprised. He didn't expect that after so many years, she was still thinking about the rare medicinal flower. "No."
Although he had not asked about Yaohua for a long time, he had instructed his subordinates to inform him as soon as possible if there was any news about Yaohua. However, there has been no news in the past few decades.
"I wonder if Madam Ding has any longevity pills?"
Liu Mao hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
The reason why she was called Madam Ding was because Ning Ji's pseudonym in Beisha Kingdom was Ding, and Liu Mao did not know her name, so he could only call her Madam Ding.
Si He was a little dazed when she heard this name. Then, a complicated look appeared in her eyes. After a while, she said, "The longevity pill may not be a good thing."
She was telling the truth. This pill was mixed with spiritual essence. Although it had miraculous effects, it was also an addictive poison. After taking it once, you would personally experience the feeling of vitality growing in your body, your energy would be replenished, and your whole body seemed to be much younger. No one would not be greedy and desire this feeling and this effect.
The amount of spiritual essence added to the longevity pill is not much, just within the range that humans can tolerate, but after a period of time, the effect will gradually weaken and the body will slowly return to its previous state.
Everyone wants to live healthily, but after taking the longevity pill, the potential disadvantages of the spiritual essence will slowly become apparent. The coldness that penetrates deep into the bone marrow cannot be removed at all. The more you take, the more it accumulates.
In the end, the best outcome is that you will become like Zang Nian, a half-corpse who can still live a few more years in a conscious state. The worst outcome is that you will directly turn into a corpse, and you may not even have the chance to reincarnate.
Therefore, after knowing the miraculous uses of spiritual essence, Ning Ji never thought of taking it.
Of course, she couldn't tell Liu Mao the details.
Therefore, Liu Mao didn't believe what she said about the longevity pill being no good.
If it wasn't a good thing, why would she take it?
Moreover, she seemed to have not changed at all after these decades. Although only her eyes and the skin on her forehead were visible, how could an old woman have such fair and tender skin?
She must have been taking longevity pills all the time, that's why this happened!
Liu Mao thought so in his heart, and his face also expressed this idea. In short, he began to no longer hide his desire for the longevity elixir.
"I hope Madam Ding can give me the magic pill. I will be very grateful and willing to serve Madam Ding."
He was very humble and bowed to Si He. After all, she was not a little girl, and he was her servant in the past, so this bow was nothing.
But this behavior shocked the people watching from a distance. They really didn't expect that the highly respected Mr. Liu San would treat a girl so politely!
And to say it's a courtesy is just being polite. Who has ever seen an older person paying respect to a younger person?
This girl is not very old. Could it be that she is of high generation or high status?
Si He expected him to say this, and that was all she had to say. Since he was going to die, she didn't stop him.
"Get me a suitable household registration and bring me into the Great Yan Kingdom."
Nowadays, checks are strict everywhere. Without identity proof, she would be an illegal resident and would have difficulty in moving around.
People without household registration, no matter which country they are in, will be forced to do hard labor and be exploited, and their fate will be bad.
Liu Mao was overjoyed when he heard this. She had a request, so that meant he agreed to it?
Getting a household registration is a small matter, he can do it easily.
If she still looks the same, then her previous identity is indeed useless. Even if it is true, no one will believe it, and it will also cause unnecessary trouble.
"You're going to the Great Yan Kingdom? Then how about changing your household registration to the Great Yan Kingdom?"
"can."
"Then..." Liu Mao hesitated and asked embarrassedly: "Longevity Pill..."
Si He looked at his eager expression and said, "I'll give it to you when we get to the Great Yan Kingdom."
Liu Mao's face immediately lit up with joy, and he bowed to her again, "Thank you, Madam Ding!"
At this time, a group of people came from the direction of the city. They were all riding tall and handsome horses. They looked quite imposing and headed straight towards this side.
The man in the lead was probably under 20 years old, and he looked quite handsome, somewhat similar to Liu Mao.
"grandfather!"
This person is Liu Mao’s eldest grandson, Liu Huotang.
However, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw his grandfather bowing to a young-looking guy from afar.
