Chapter 98 Gift of the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Root
"Xu Xiao, you're getting more and more outrageous as you get older."
The woman in the red dress looked over, causing Xu Xiao's eyebrows to twitch slightly.
The other person wore a form-fitting red dress, as dazzling as a blazing flame, which contrasted sharply with her stunningly beautiful face, which was as cold as ice.
Her skin was as white as snow, and it shone delicately in the sunlight, as beautiful as warm and lustrous jade.
Her tall, slender legs are shapely and captivating, with perfect curves that are hard to look away from.
Her beautiful black hair swayed gently in the wind, like a dream, exquisitely beautiful.
She is like the most beautiful red plum blossom in the world, proud and aloof, standing alone from the world.
The only flaw was that a deep weariness was evident between the young woman's cool and beautiful brows.
His weariness, tinged with worry, combined with his icy expression, created an inexplicable sense of distance.
Xu Xiao shook his head inwardly.
Having not seen my senior sister for so many years, her appearance remained unchanged; she was still as beautiful as I remembered.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman was over 2,800 years old and had only a little over 100 years left to live?
Xu Xiao laughed and said, "Senior Sister, don't believe the rumors. I'm not that kind of person."
Duan Hongling snorted coldly, "Whether you are or not is not important. What's important is that I don't see them."
"Xu Xiao, I really didn't expect that you, who are almost old and dead, would still have this kind of thought."
"If Uncle-Master Ji were to emerge from seclusion and hear what you have to say, he would surely kill you with his own hands!"
Duan Hongling had a faint medicinal fragrance about her.
Mixed with her natural feminine fragrance, it was refreshing and invigorating.
Xu Xiao was too lazy to explain; explaining was useless against this woman's personality.
[Detected: Duan Hongling, the woman of destiny]
[Luck Level: A]
Return multiplier: 10
[Bond Level: 1]
"The eldest senior sister is actually an A-level woman of destiny."
Xu Xiao wasn't too surprised.
Before her injury, Duan Hongling was one of the most talented people in the sect, and her appearance was also blessed by the heavens.
However, now, it's probably because he's gone crazy from making medicine every day.
His temper is getting worse and worse.
However, Xu Xiao could understand that he was about to die of old age.
She simply smiled slightly and didn't argue with the other party.
"Come with me to the lobby, I'll assign you a task."
A hint of disdain flashed across Duan Hongling's stunningly beautiful yet indifferent face as she shook her head and turned away.
She used to admire this quick-witted and good-looking junior brother.
But now, not only has the opponent failed the tribulation and turned into an old man, but he has also wasted a longevity pill.
What she found even more unacceptable was that the other party was openly keeping female disciples in the sect and even having affairs with the demoness from the Hehuan Sect.
Now the news has spread throughout the entire Misty Sect and even the Panlong Continent.
This Xu Xiao is definitely a perverted old lecher!
The thought that the other party actually had designs on Shuiyue, a genius from the sect, made her even angrier!
I don't want to give the other person even the slightest bit of a friendly look!
Why would Uncle-Master Zhuge send someone like this to Iron Curtain City?!
Is it just because the other party has a few Nascent Soul Transformation Talismans?!
What a child's play!
In the main hall, Duan Hongling sent someone to summon Xiao Wang and Xiao Li. With a cold expression, she pointed to the map and said, "Elder Yi is in charge of the main spirit mine of our Misty Sect. Elder Mu and I are responsible for supporting the spirit mines of the affiliated sects."
“Recently, the demon race has been rampant, often robbing spirit stones, causing us considerable losses. Elder Mu and I are struggling to cope.”
"From now on, the three spirit mines excavated by the Hundred Herbs Sect, the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and the Five Thunder Sect will be under your guard."
Xu Xiao seemed to want to say something.
Duan Hongling said coldly, "Don't say it's impossible. Don't you have a lot of talismans at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage? That's more than enough to deal with those demons."
Xu Xiao shook his head and smiled, "Alright, since Senior Sister has spoken, no problem."
Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, and the group of Nascent Soul disciples beside them shook their heads upon seeing this.
Take a look!
Take a look!
Elder Xu's reputation has become so bad!
Elder Duan, you're not giving me a single kind word!
That perverted old lecher!!
You deserve it!!!
Elder Duan!!
Punish Elder Xu severely!
After issuing the mission and handing over the communication talisman, Duan Hongling prepared to return to continue refining pills.
Her brows were furrowed; she had no energy left to think about Xu Xiao.
With only 150 years left to live, if one cannot break through to the Void Refinement stage within 50 years, the effects of the mid-grade Youth Preservation Pill will gradually disappear in the last 100 years.
By then, she will have become an old woman with white hair.
This is something she simply cannot accept!
For her, there are only fifty years left...
"Senior Sister, wait a minute."
Xu Xiao smiled slightly, then said to Xiao Wang, Xiao Li and the others, "You all go out first, I have something I want to say to Elder Duan alone."
Everyone was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.
He glanced at the stunningly beautiful Elder Duan over there, then at Elder Xu's lewd smile in front of him.
Suddenly, they were struck by lightning, and several people were stunned on the spot.
Holy crap!!!
Elder Xu!!
Could it be that she's developing feelings for Elder Duan again?!
Everyone else is an old lady who's over 2,800 years old!!!
That old pervert's taste is just too extreme!!!
Oh shit!!!
But they dared not show it at all, and quickly left the lobby to wait outside the door.
Shivering!
Elder Xu... he's fucking insane!!!
They were about to cry!
"What's the matter?"
A cold frost appeared in Duan Hongling's beautiful eyes.
Xu Xiao asked, "Senior Sister, how is your injury?"
Duan Hongling was taken aback upon hearing this, then her eyes dimmed, and she replied perfunctorily, "It's alright, don't worry. Even though my lifespan is short, my strength is no less than before."
"It won't affect you."
Xu Xiao looked at this stubborn and strong-willed woman and shook his head inwardly.
He chuckled softly and took out a section of locust tree root that exuded a rich spiritual energy from his bosom.
"This is a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual root, which I found in the Great Cultivation Cave."
Xu Xiao slowly said, "This ten-thousand-year-old spiritual root contains three drops of spiritual liquid, which can heal all injuries in the world. My senior sister used to take good care of me, so I will give this ten-thousand-year-old spiritual root to her to help her treat her hidden ailment."
Upon hearing this, Duan Hongling's eyes widened suddenly.
Staring at the dark yellow tree root in the other person's hand, which exuded a rich spiritual energy, he stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.
A spiritual root that lasts for ten thousand years?!
Millennium Elixir?!
It's this thing?!
She suffers from a hidden illness and has already studied all medical texts.
The only things that could heal her meridian injuries, besides the golden relic, were this incredibly rare and precious ten-thousand-year-old locust tree root!
"Xu Xiao...is this really a ten-thousand-year-old tree root?!"
Duan Hongling's tone became hurried, and her usually aloof face flushed with excitement.
"It's the real deal. I'm almost old and dying, why would I need to lie to you?"
Xu Xiao chuckled and placed the ancient tree root into the other person's fair and slender hand.
"Take it. Each drop of this spiritual liquid should have the effect of a golden body relic. Let's use all three drops to be on the safe side."
Duan Hongling looked at the treasure in her hand and swallowed hard.
Feel the dazzling spiritual power and mysterious aura within.
She was certain that this was indeed the legendary root of the ancient locust tree!
Moreover, Xu Xiao wanted to give it to her!
For a moment, her breathing became extremely rapid.
Shock, excitement, exhilaration, disbelief—a mix of emotions overwhelmed her.
It even made her body tremble at one point.
But thinking of the other party's infamous reputation that had spread throughout the cultivation world, she finally looked at the other party with a particularly complicated expression.
Xu Xiao, could it be that he...
She couldn't think of any other reason why the other party would give her such a precious treasure!
