Gate of Immortality

Chapter 248: Crown Of Longevity

With the high rate of absorption from the crimson ring, a large amount of Wood qi gushed into the dantian of Yang Shi as it was poured on his Wood Spirit Seal.

The Wood Spirit Seal was already filled by one layer, so Yang Shi needed to fill other layers to refine his Embryonic Wood Spirit Body.

The Heart of Forest buzzed as its abundant Wood qi was devoured by Yang Shi. The Wood Spirit Seal inside his dantian was beaming with green light.

Yang Shi could feel his vitality increasing and making him feel refreshed.

  " Even if I don't cultivate, Just by the Wood Spirit Seal, I can easily live up to three hundred years." Yang Shi couldn't help but think.

Wood qi is known to increase lifespan and longevity, but it's also intricate to absorb wood qi. Most of the time wood qi was condensed into pills to refine quickly. Those pills are called lifespan expanding pills.

Such pills can extend someone's lifespan by a certain amount. Those pills are very high in demand as many old cultivators who are nearing their old age need them to expand their lifespan.

Cultivation itself is a path going against heaven's will. The reason why people pursue higher cultivation stage is to get limitless strength and eternal longevity.

Almost one day passed while Yang Shi was absorbing the Heart of Forest. The Heart of Forest now looked dim as Yang Shi absorbed almost all of its Wood qi.

His Wood Spirit Seal's three layers were filled with Wood qi as it buzzed. Yang Shi could feel the Wood qi coursing in his meridians.

As his Embryonic Wood Spirit Seal was taking place, his Gold Devil Seal buzzed a Metal qi erupted from it. Both qi erupted with strength as they clashed with each other.

Yang Shi expected it but he was already prepared.

" Everything came from a single point, but nothing can be created without duality."

" Metal is more powerful than Wood, but excess Wood can dull the Metal."

" A metal axe can easily chop down trees, yet the trees also dull the axe." Yang Shi activated his Origin Chaos Internal Energy art.

Yang Shi's internal energy rolled as it contained the Metal qi and Wood qi before they could clash. Both are opposing elements, yet they can also stay together.

Yang Shi's internal energy was called Chaos energy, so it contains all five elemental energy. That is the reason why Yang Shi had an affinity toward all five elements.

The Heart of Forest turned grey as cracks appeared on its surface. The last bit of Wood qi was fully sucked by Yang Shi.

" The Chaos Fiend Tyrant Body art is truly an Immortal technique. The Gold Devil Embryonic seal gave me the Gold Devil Armor skill. And now this"

" Crown of Longevity, Appear!" Yang Shi willed as he activated the skill of Wood Spirit Seal. The Wood qi in his dantian stirred as an illusory crown appeared over his head.

  The crown was oozing with green light as its body looked like made from twisted tree roots. 

Yang Shi felt a large amount of Wood qi rumbling in his body as his life force was much more vigorous than before.

Yang Shi took out a dagger and slashed his palm. He applied quite an amount of force so the wound was relatively bigger.

Blood flowed from the wound, but Yang Shi just silently focused on his Crow of Longevity. Suddenly, the Crown of Longevity flashed with gentle green light as it enveloped the wound.

The wound started to recover at the speed visible to the naked eye. Just in a few breaths of time, The wound was filled and not even a scar remained.

" The greatest use of Wood qi is its ability to heal. Crown of Longevity transforms the Wood qi into my life force.

" So unless I am instakilled, I can recover from most serious wounds." Yang Shi clicked his tongue.

The ability of regeneration is pretty wicked. It will almost make an undying monster.

" I can also utilize my Wood qi to heal others. This is a great support ability. Moreover, my affinity towards plants and herbs will increase many folds."

Yang Shi finally stretched his arms and stopped cultivating. He got up as he went out of his room.

It was already morning as he spent one whole day inside his forging room.

" Young master, You are out." Bai Ruxue exclaimed, " Look,  I have carved this."

Bai Ruxue showed Yang Shi a plank of wood. " True Treasure Pavilion" was written in a calligraphic style on the board.

" I imbued my Jade Yin qi as I carved this wood, so there is a tint of mystical luster on the words." Bai Ruxue spoke.

" Wow, Ruxue, This looks so beautiful." Yang Shi's mood became happy as he saw the wooden board.

He went outside of the second floor and fixed it there. It was fixed above the signboard of Clear Sky Restaurant.

Yang Shi went to the second floor and arranged chairs and tables. After that, he took out weapons from his spatial ring and began to decorate the entire floor.

Swords, Sabers, Spears, daggers, all of them were either at middle tier or high tier Spirit grade treasures. He arranged them in such a way that it will please the eyes of customers.

" And one quasi True rank weapon behind the reception counter. That will be enough." Yang Shi adjusted everything.

" Bai Ruxue, you want to work as a receptionist?" Yang Shi asked.

" Hmm, I guess so." Bai Ruxue nodded.

" I know it will hinder your focus in cultivation, are you sure?" Yang Shi asked again.

" Don't worry, Young master. My cultivation practice won't be disrupted by this." Bai Ruxue hurriedly said.

" Haha, Then it's fine." Yang Shi nodded.

Yang Shi went back to the first floor. But then, he saw a strange thing there. Wen Ran was moving like flitting butterfly as he was mumbling happily.

" Damn, That Lin Ying did excellent work this time. The fire rune formation is perfectly working as a cooking stove." He said happily to the middle aged man.

" Too bad that he didn't fix the Freezing runes and Wind breeze runes." The middle aged Uncle Han sighed.

" Eh? So that stove is working properly, eh?" Yang Shi blurted out.

Wen Ran and Uncle Han noticed Yang Shi. Wen Ran snorted as he saw Yang Shi. Uncle Han smiled as he said, " Indeed, It is working fine."

" Then let's finish the Freezing rune formation and Wind Breeze formation." Yang Shi spoke as he strode to the kitchen.

" What?!" Both Uncle Han and Wen Ran blurted in confusion.

" What? You think it was Lin Ying who fixed the fireplace?" Yang Shi shrugged.

  Since his soul qi was recovered completely, he can now inscribe the other two runes in the kitchen. The talisman brush appeared in his hands as he started the inscription.

He first tested some rune inscriptions separately. Only after then, he begin inscribing the Freezing Rune.

Freezing rune, like its name implied, contains Water and Ice attributes. The Freezing rune formation is a combination of basic water runes with rank one ice runes.

Yang Shi activated his Celestial View and Azure Lotus primordial spirit at the same time.. After that, he started the inscription.
