The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#490 - Longevity of Heaven and Earth

The fastest update, the elixir is for you, the poison belongs to me! Latest chapter!

As a precaution, Lu Jing took a dozen steps back when he saw the rain of petals, to avoid getting the petals on his body.

Then he noticed the small tree, no, perhaps it should now be called a giant tree, and a fruit had grown on the thickest branch.

The shape of the fruit looked very much like a peach at first glance. At first, it was only the size of a fist, but it grew as fast as everything else on the tree.

In a short while, it was the size of a basketball, and then the diameter exceeded five feet, with a faint red light shining through.

This time, Lu Jing didn't use the flying sword again, but directly grabbed the Lake Light in his hand. Then, he took a deep breath, held his breath, and jumped from the ground, rushing towards the giant peach with both his person and his sword!

The strange tree sensed Lu Jing's approach and wanted to repeat its old trick, using its branches and leaves to intercept him.

But this time, Lu Jing had his sword in hand. Although he sacrificed some speed, he gained a significant increase in flexibility.

He wielded his sword like a dragon, and wherever it passed, the branches were cut off at the waist!

But when the second wave of branches attacked, they were obviously much thicker than the first wave. When they collided with Lake Light, a series of metallic sounds rang out. Even if Lu Jing used 100% of his internal strength, it was difficult to cut those branches off with one sword.

And if he was not careful, the flying sword would get stuck inside.

So Lu Jing simply put Lake Light back into his sleeve temporarily and swung his fist again, smashing it towards the branches.

He didn't expect to break the branches, but only used his abundant internal strength to shake the branches away, clearing a path for him to jump in front of the fruit.

Relying on his unfathomable internal strength and his Great Perfection realm of lightness skill, Lu Jing finally managed to break through the encirclement without any danger before the branches completed their encirclement.

Without any time to delay, Lu Jing had already re-gripped the Lake Light in his sleeve, and then suddenly swung it out, slashing at the wrist-thick vine above the fruit.

As soon as the flying sword came into contact with the vine, Lu Jing felt a powerful force of recoil!

This thing clearly didn't look too thick, and it was even less thick than the branches that Lu Jing had cut off before, but its hardness was far greater than ordinary branches.

Lu Jing estimated that it was comparable to a super alloy, but his sword was also very fierce.

At the critical moment, he didn't hold back, using 100% of his power, plus the help of Lake Light. Not to mention a fruit, even if there was a Gundam in front of him, Lu Jing would have to chop it up!

Even as strong as the vine was, it still couldn't withstand Lu Jing's shocking slash. After a crisp metallic sound, it broke in the middle, and the fruit fell to the ground due to gravity.

Lu Jing fell with it.

Lu Jing held his sword across his chest, originally guarding against branches attacking him during the fall, but as the fruit left the branch, the newly grown giant tree seemed to quiet down, no longer growing or moving, just standing there quietly.

Lu Jing was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect the fruit to be so fragile. The tree that bore it, and the branches and vines on the tree, were all maxed out on defense, almost writing "invincible" on their faces.

Why did it suddenly fall apart when it came to the fruit?

Moreover, as the crack appeared, the juice inside also poured out along the crack.

Lu Jing was holding his breath, so he didn't smell the scent, but he could tell from the increasing number of small animals around that the scent was fatally attractive to them.

Lu Jing was considering whether to go up and add another strike when a palm suddenly stretched out from the crack, followed by an arm, squeezing the crack, which was originally only two fingers wide, open a lot more.

White juice splashed out as if it were free, also causing a frenzy among the surrounding wild animals.

But Lu Jing couldn't care about their reactions anymore, because after that arm, a head also poked out from the fruit.

The person inside seemed a little surprised when he saw Lu Jing, and then without saying anything, he actually started vomiting in front of Lu Jing.

After he had vomited out all the juice that had filled his throat, he wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"If it weren't for you, I probably would have had to live in that fruit for a while longer." Han Shan Ke smiled.

However, he only smiled for a while, and because Lu Jing's gaze became colder and colder, he had to put away his smile, and then sighed, "Don't look at me like that, it's kind of creepy."

"What's even more creepy is you, inexplicably popping out of a fruit. And what's with the previous corpse? Are you deliberately playing with us?"

"Of course not. I don't know if you've seen those ancient methods of cultivating immortality. Most of the people who attained longevity have experienced feathering. Have you ever wondered why this is?"

Without waiting for Lu Jing to speak, Han Shan Ke answered himself, "This is because our bodies are too fragile. If we can't abandon them and reshape them, we will never be able to escape the constraints of this skin. I only realized recently that I had gone astray, wasting decades of time."

"Relying on elixirs alone will never achieve longevity with the heavens and the earth, but fortunately, this time I have finally found the right direction," Han Shan Ke said joyfully.

The only thing that greeted him was two words:

— Fart!

Lu Jing said coldly, "You still say you have nothing to do with Dongxuan and his disciples. You are simply using the power of strange objects."

Han Shan Ke's expression didn't change when he heard this, "I can understand you. The reason why you say this is actually because you are jealous that I have finally achieved longevity."

"Whatever you say." Lu Jing was too lazy to pay attention to Han Shan Ke, who was full of nonsense. He just called out to Gu Jing in his heart, and then said to Han Shan Ke, "I'll ask Supervisor Huang to come over. If you want to continue making up stories, you better put more effort into it."

Han Shan Ke didn't seem worried at all when he heard Lu Jing's words, and just said leisurely, "Are you sure you want to call Supervisor Huang over? Then you probably won't be able to get the poison formula you want."

Lu Jing's heart moved when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down again, snorted, "You haven't had good intentions from the beginning. Not only did you use me to deal with your nephew, but you probably had already prepared how to escape at that time. I don't believe you are so kind that you would really help me refine the poison pill I want."
