Chapter 172
Li Zhi was rushing with all his speed to get out of the forsaken parts of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon . Due to the location, it was very difficult to contact anyone via cell phone . Thus, everyone had set their bases outside of the canyon .
Back in the camp, Lu Bo was sitting cross-legged with another man, enjoying a pot tea together .
"Senior Brother Lu, the appearance of the Reishi King can really be considered a blessing for us peak Evolved Jing masters . If we could obtain it, it would not be impossible for us to step into Xiantian realm!"
The middle-aged man took a sip of hot tea and said with a light sigh . "Remember when we were both just little kids, following behind master all those years ago? Forty-five years had already passed just like that, in the blink of an eye . I reckon we won't have many years left too if we can't break through to Xiantian realm . "
Lu Bo felt a little melancholic as he too took a sip of his tea . "Junior Brother, our cultivation had already far surpassed our late master . I've founded the Eagle Claw Sect, while you've formed the Red Pine Jade Clan . At the very least, we can say that we have not wasted our life away . "
"Right, the only thing I wish for right now is just to see the scenery of the realms above Evolved Jing . " Wen Guang shook his head lightly and smiled .
Based on their appearance, the two men did not look like people who were in their fifties . Instead, they looked more like people in their thirties . The two had actually not met in a long time . If not for the appearance of the Reishi King, they would still be busy looking for a chance to achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation . Where would they have the time to sit down and reminisce about the past?
The Xiantian realm not only signified a huge leap in strength for a martial practitioner . It was the extra longevity which caused all the peak Evolved Jing masters to go crazy with desire!
Those who reach Xiantian realm will have a lifespan of 200 years! Their bodies will be maintained at the peak level, only dropping rapidly when their lifespan comes to an end!
Increasing one's lifespan was a temptation nobody can resist! That was why emperors from ancient times spent so much effort and manpower on refining pills! Their hope was just to produce a pill which can grant immortality!
The two men remained seated and continued reminiscing about their adventures as fellow disciples, learning cultivation from their master . As they talked, the eyes of the two 50-plus-year old experts also began to grow red with emotion .
"Master!"
A loud cry suddenly sounded outside the tent . Li Zhi paced about anxiously as he waited .
"Ahem, come in!"
Li Zhi's shout had completely broken the atmosphere in the tent, interrupting the two men's conversation . Lu Bo cleared his throat awkwardly and resumed a sagely demeanor before answering .
"Disciple greets Master!"
Li Zhi bowed respectfully as soon as he entered the tent .
"En . This is your Uncle Master Wen . We are fellow disciples who once came under the tutelage of the same master, and are as close as real brothers . "
Lu Bo smiled amiably and said as he looked at his favorite disciple .
"Greetings, Uncle Master Wen!"
Although he never knew that his master had a junior brother, since the esteemed master had said that they were as close as brothers, he would naturally have to show the appropriate respect towards him .
"Good, not bad . As this is our first meeting, Uncle Master doesn't have anything good to give you . Here, this bottle of Jade Ginseng Pills will be a present for our first meeting . "
Wen Guang revealed a saintly smile on his face as he pulled out a small bottle as big as a quail's egg and shaped like a gourd from his robes and held it out to Li Zhi .
"Aren't you going to accept it? These pills are refined from hundred year old wild ginsengs and various other precious ingredients using a secret pill refinement technique! This small bottle here is enough to save you three, five years of hard work!"
Lu Bo chuckled aloud as he saw Li Zhi looking at him with uncertainty .
"Many thanks, Uncle Master Wen!"
Elation bloomed all over Li Zhi's face as he held the little bottle tightly in his hands as though he would never part with it . After he finished consuming this bottle of pills, even eldest senior brother should no longer be a match for him anymore, right?
"Oh, aren't you supposed to be with your eldest senior brother? For what matter have you come back here?" Lu Bo asked .
"We have found the location of the Reishi King! It's in the hands of a commoner . Senior brother and the rest are chasing after him; they sent me back here to inform you!"
Li Zhi who was busy with his own thoughts did not even stop to ponder as he directly blurted out the entire story . The way he saw it, this Uncle Master Wen was not an outsider . Master even said himself that they were as close as brothers . Furthermore, this Uncle Master Wen was extremely extravagant with his gifts, so Li Zhi did not see the need to hide the matter from him .
But as soon as the words rolled off his tongue, the tent immediately fell strangely silent . Lu Bo's face was as black as the bottom of a wok as he looked at Li Zhi . This favorite disciple of his was actually a stupid wooden club!
Can something as important as this be said in front of outsiders?! Are you trying to f*ck your own master up?!
