Chapter 125 The Way to Immortality

"Thief?" Si He breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little puzzled. "Aren't you acquainted with this shop owner? Why is there a thief here?"

"Shopkeepers are shopkeepers, thieves are thieves, they have nothing to do with each other. No one cares about any fights or disputes here, as long as they don't harm the interests of others."

Hearing what he said, she pursed her lips and was speechless.

Well, this means that the store won't do anything to them, but it won't stop others from doing anything either.

If an ordinary person came here, they would be skinned alive if not dead...

"Put on one more piece of clothing. It's cold now, don't catch a cold." He said, taking her to the bed, getting her a thicker coat, putting it on her, and then taking a piece of cloth to help her wipe her hair.

Si He sat obediently on the chair, not asking any more questions, letting Ning Ji wipe her hair. She looked at the jade bottle on the table, her eyes slightly darker, "Cousin, this thing..."

Ning Ji glanced at the jade bottle, his eyes darkening. He said, "Although this thing can harm people, if used properly, it may be beneficial to you."

When he said this, she also thought of the contents of the parchment scroll.

Immortality?

It's a very vague thing that only exists in myths and legends.

In the past, she did not believe it at all, but after the trip to Tianshan, many things shattered her concept. Whether it was the magical ability she acquired or the dissipated spiritual formation she saw with her own eyes in Tianshan, none of them could be viewed with common sense.

She didn't know how long Jiang Yuan had lived, but judging by his obsession with spiritual essence and his unscrupulous use of means to turn one sect's people after another into spiritual bodies, it can be seen that this spiritual essence is indeed useful.

The parchment scroll said that to practice the way of longevity, one must first use the Dragon Spirit Flower as a guide to purify the blood. Only after the body has undergone transformation can one take the spiritual essence and continuously prolong life.

She had eaten two dragon spirit flowers, and her body had become different from before. Then she was forced to take a spiritual essence. Does that mean she has now practiced the way to immortality?

She had deliberately avoided thinking about it before, inexplicably, and somewhat avoided the issue, but she had to admit that sometimes her subconscious behavior had responded.

In the valley, when Ning Ji said to throw Jiang Yuan down the cave, she guessed his intention.

He wanted to leave Jiang Yuan to her as her essence-nourishing body to cultivate her spiritual essence.

Jiang Yuan was seriously injured, his eyes were completely destroyed and his legs were corroded. He was only a half-corpse, not a god. Trapped under the cave, he would soon die and completely turn into a corpse. With his physique, he was an ideal body for nourishing essence.

If she could live forever, she would be able to extract the spiritual essence from Jiang Yuan again after thousands of years.

This was prepared for her in advance.

She asked the black-clad guard to drag Hu Qing down the cave because she had seen through his intentions and reacted subconsciously.

In fact, she knew a lot of things in her heart, but for some inexplicable reasons that she didn't know, she deliberately ignored these problems.

If she lives forever, what about him?

At this moment, she felt regretful. If she had left a Dragon Spirit Flower, it would have been great. However, given the situation at the time, if she had eaten one less, she might have died.

If she thought about it carefully, if she had eaten one less Dragon Spirit Flower, even if she didn't die, her body would not have been transformed so thoroughly. Perhaps not long after Jiang Yuan fed her the spiritual essence, she would have turned into Jiang Yuan's horrible appearance, and no matter how many precious medicines Ning Ji used, it would have been useless.

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Si He's thoughts. It was the waiter bringing more hot water.

Ning Ji put down the towel, went to open the door, and asked the waiter to bring the hot water to the bathroom on the side of the house.

Ning Ji went to wash up, and Si He sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair from time to time.

The inn lobby outside was still bustling with activity, as if those people were going to drink all night.

Outside the corridor, there were occasional sounds of passing footsteps, waiters delivering food or hot water to the tenants, and guests walking up and down. The noise never stopped, but there were no more sneaky people wandering around outside.

But she knew that the night would not remain so peaceful, otherwise, this would not be a black shop.

Her thoughts returned to the spirit, and gradually, a complex and indescribable feeling spread in her heart.

When Ning Ji came out from the side room, he saw her sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze, as if she was worried about something.

He walked behind her and rubbed her head gently, "What's wrong?"

Si He came back to her senses and looked up at the bronze mirror in front of her. In the mirror, she saw him standing behind her, looking at her with a gentle expression.

She turned around and hugged his waist.

"cousin."

"Ah."

Si He secretly took a deep breath, suppressed the unspeakable emotions in her heart, and then said, "Let's take a break."

In the end she still said nothing.

"Okay." He carried her to the bed.

The candle went out and the room was plunged into darkness.

During normal sex, he was usually more controlled and tried to be gentle with her, but tonight she was so extra enthusiastic and clingy that he couldn't control himself.

Inside the room, the bed curtains fluttered and the wooden bed creaked.

Outside the house, the wind was blowing fiercely, covering up some of the noise inside.

After a long time, the noise in the house slowly subsided.

At this time, the inn became more and more lively.

Several rooms upstairs had long been targeted, just like a pack of wolves targeting a fat sheep that had trespassed into their territory.

Although many people are not sheep but ferocious leopards or tigers, seriously injured beasts are more likely to attract attention.

Especially the people from Taiyi Sect and Baishi Sect who were all injured. These disciples of immortal sects were once famous in Lingcheng. Even if they were in disguise, they were still easily recognized by those who were interested.

Nowadays, the fugitives from these factions are wanted by the government, and they are well-known in several cities near Lingcheng.

So as the night deepened, some people with ulterior motives took action one after another.

The sounds of fighting gradually became louder and louder, and there was a commotion upstairs and downstairs. Only a few guest rooms were calm.

In the room, Si He was sleeping soundly, and the various fighting and noises outside did not wake her up.

Ning Ji stood up very quietly, kissed Si He lightly on the forehead, covered her with the quilt, and then got out of bed to get dressed.

He walked to the window, opened it a little, and saw the fighting outside the corridor.

He was a disciple of the Bai Shi Sect, who was besieged by several burly men. He had the lightest injuries and wanted to escape, but because he had been drugged, his body gradually became weak and he was no match for these people.

Before he died, he saw Ning Ji's figure from afar. Although it was the first time he saw his true face, he could still tell from his clothes and figure. He shouted, "Ning Ji, help me!"

But Ning Ji stood calmly behind the window, indifferent, and he suddenly felt disheartened.

After several big men hacked the man to death, they turned to look in the direction of Ning Ji. Seeing that he had no intention of attacking, they continued to kill towards the guest rooms in front.
