"When your master was young, just like you, he also traveled around the world as Xu Banxian."
"But that was two to three hundred years ago, when the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty took over."
"But you are better than your master, and you actually have such a friend."
The old man said, looking towards Jiangnan and smiling slightly.
"Old sir, may I ask your name..."
Xu Banxian looked sincere: "I can talk to my master later."
"You kid can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. You got into trouble and were kicked out by your master. Now you are probably looking for that enemy, right?"
"You don't need to know my name. When you can return to the sect, you will know as soon as you tell your master."
"I know your purpose for this trip to the west. You know what you want to do. Of course, you probably haven't told your own fortune, because a fortune teller cannot tell your own fortune."
"I want you to do the calculations for me and see what dangers there are in my trip."
The old man slowly stretched out his hand and opened his palm.
Jiang Nan and Xu Banxian were shocked when they saw it. If nothing else, the old man's hands were as tight and white as a young man's.
Even the old man is a practitioner and hides his strength so that Jiang Nan cannot see it.
but.
How could a practitioner's hands be so white?
This is not normal.
Although practitioners have a very long lifespan, when they break through the innateness, the aging of their appearance will be greatly slowed down. Every hundred years, the change in appearance is about twenty years for ordinary people.
When you break through to the golden elixir realm.
There will be no change in the person's appearance.
Even if you are hammered into dust, you will still be like this forever.
Although Jiang Nan couldn't see clearly what the strength of this old man was, looking at his face, he could tell that he was either entering his twilight years in the innate realm, or that he was already very old when he made a breakthrough.
Therefore, a person’s face and hands should match.
But the contrast between the old man and the old man is too great, right?
Even if you look younger and have older hands, I can understand it.
"Old sir, what are you doing?"
Xu Banxian'er suddenly remembered something and frowned: "Is this the legendary rejuvenation technique?"
"Have you heard of it?"
When the old man heard what Xu Banxian said, he was a little surprised.
"I heard my master say it back then."
Xu Banxian frowned slightly, and his thoughts went back to many years ago: "A cultivator, talent, heart, and experience are all indispensable, but the most important thing is life span. Over the endless years, how many geniuses have been as beautiful as monsters, as ordinary as monsters?
Because the characters have limited lifespan, they all turn into dust in the end."
After hearing this, the old man closed his eyes slightly and nodded.
This is indeed the case.
Xu Banxian kept introducing it beside him, and only then did Jiang Nan understand what was going on.
Of course, improving one's strength in the spiritual world can increase one's lifespan. This is the most normal method, but it is also the most difficult method.
Some practitioners want to prolong their lives, and they will think of various methods.
All kinds of heresy.
Some people will make their body become a kind of zombie. In this way, they are neither alive nor dead, and they are really like zombies.
Some people will keep cutting their souls apart, just like Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter.
Some people will take other people's bodies, but this is quite risky, because the body and soul originally appeared in the world together and are interdependent.
There are soul marks in the human body.
The soul outside cannot be possessed at all.
If you lose your physical body and want to seize someone else's, but if the soul mark does not match.
You will be in great danger.
He might die.
So.
This is no small matter either.
Most of these heresies are actually deviant.
It is as dangerous as it is dangerous. There are many places where things are quite dangerous.
But two talented guys among them really came up with a way.
The art of rejuvenation.
This special technique can make an old person slowly regain his youth and achieve a state of reverse growth.
It was very popular at the time, and countless old people who were approaching their life spans used this method one after another, and a few actually broke through to a higher realm.
but.
As time goes by, an extremely huge sequelae appears, that is, reverse growth cannot be stopped.
Unless you can reach the state of becoming a god.
But even in ancient times, those who could become a powerful person at the level of a god would be a big boss in the world, a powerful being who could open a sect on his own.
That's that easy?
Therefore, many people can only watch themselves change from an old man to a young man, to a teenager, and finally to a baby.
At that time, the brain knew everything and everything was clear.
But he died in the end.
Of course, some people only have one or two years left to die. Reverse growth can add nearly a hundred years to their lives for no reason. Most people will choose whatever they want.
But the result was not pretty.
When Jiang Nan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Damn, that damn bastard Ford seems to be practicing this.
And Ford once told himself that he had grown in reverse twice.
Could this old guy have found some way to crack it?
This is incredible.
"I know this method is extremely dangerous, but now my body has returned to the state of being in my twenties. In ten years, I will become a ten-year-old child."
"At that time, my strength will be greatly reduced. I must solve this difficult problem within the next few years. Please help me do the math. Can I achieve my wish this time?"
The old man frowned slightly and then said.
I'm expression is very indifferent, it seems that he has already put life and death aside, but the old man still cares about his own life so much, I'm afraid there is a lot of concern behind it.
Yes, there must be a big family behind someone of this age.
As the head of this big family, it is normal for him to be worried.
"All right."
Xu Banxian thought about it for a long time and gritted his teeth: "But it won't work here. Let's talk about it after we get there."
"good."
The old man didn't say anything. He stood up, walked to the table next to him, ordered some food, and then went back on his own.
The middle-aged man behind the old man didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and kept supporting and serving him carefully.
"This time, it's a little bit not simple."
Xu Banxian took a sip of the soup, frowned slightly and said slowly: "I suddenly regretted it. It seems that I shouldn't have been greedy for this muddy water."
