A few days after returning to the capital, all parties came to inquire about the news, openly and secretly asking if I had brought back the elixir, what magic weapons, cultivation methods and the like they were not interested, they wanted the kind of elixir that can cure all diseases, if there is one that can prolong life, it would be even better, they are willing to pay any price in exchange.

No matter how I explained, it was useless, people didn't believe that I entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed, so I had to run away, said hello to Lin Bai, said that I was on leave for a while, and then took the little fairy and Liu An to Doutian Palace.

It hasn't been long since the last time I came, and Doutian Palace is still the same as usual, very quiet, and everyone has their own things to do.

"Except for the Chinese New Year, every time you come to me, there is something wrong here, and this time you are causing trouble again?"

Dao Heng saw me, his eyes were wrong, why did he still get up and make trouble every year.

"Uncle Shi, you misunderstood me, this time I didn't come to hide, I came to see you, I have good news for you"

"What good news, tell me about it"

"I went to a place some time ago and met some amazing people, and I have to start from the beginning..."

I told Li Yao about the causes and consequences of them one by one, the point is that I already know the secret of their longevity, so I want to tell Dao Heng this secret, so that Dao Heng can also prolong his life and live a few more years.

"It turned out to be them, but you still met them"

"Uncle Shi, do you know them?"

I was taken aback, this is a top secret on the rivers and lakes, how could Dao Heng know?

"I don't know, but I've heard it, my master has seen them before, we have talked a few times, my master told me that they are whimsical, and it has been proven impossible to cultivate and become immortals for thousands of years, and they are doing this in vain."

"No, Uncle Shi, they have already achieved good results, and it is easy for people to live a hundred or two or three."

"Then can they live forever?"

"Well, not yet"

"Not for the time being, not for another hundred years, according to what you said, they are tinkering on the road of health preservation, so they are still ordinary people, no big deal?"

"Uncle Shi, don't you like them?"

"The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, not liking it or not, not just a person all the way"

"What about this regimen?"

"It's useless to me, at most it's a reference, my qi and blood have dried up, no matter how I recuperate, it is impossible to achieve a state of balance with my soul, this kind of health preservation method can only start from a young age, you can practice it"

"No, Uncle Shi, I think you deliberately didn't want to practice."

"Silly boy, what do you want to think about, when I reach my realm, life and death have long been looked down, and those things don't have any temptation for me"

I frowned, I didn't know if this was Dao Heng's true words, I always felt that Dao Heng was passively waiting for death.

"What does Uncle Shi think of this elixir, this is a healing elixir, and it is said to have excellent results"

I handed the pill given by Li Yao to Dao Heng, which I took before I went, and it was one of the prices that Li Yao paid for taking Xie Changming away.

"Yes, what you said is true, those people have gone through a long way of taking pills to live forever, and have studied some ways, they are stronger than me, I can't practice this kind of pills, you have to keep it well, it can save your life at a critical moment"

Dao Heng picked it up and sniffed it and said, he still has to admit this, although they are different from those people, they do have something extraordinary.

"Uncle Shi, they also gave me a lot of Dan Fang, do you want to take a look, maybe some will be useful to you"

"Show me"

I handed over the book I brought from Li Yao, which was dedicated to alchemy.

"Yes, whimsical, it's really amazing, this person's alchemy is extremely clever, and there are few people who can compare with it throughout the ages, but it's a pity that it's useless to me"

"Why"

"Because these pills are not to cure diseases and save people, the only purpose of their existence is to let you prolong your life, and the things used by rich people are meaningless"

"This..."

I'm a little speechless, what's wrong with Daoheng, as if he is deliberately finding fault, and he can't look at anything?

"Boy, are you scolding me in your heart, thinking that I am empty-eyed and deliberately finding fault?"

"No, how dare you?"

"That's true."

"Uncle Shi, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I don't want to persuade you, you've already joined them, it's useless for me to say more, if I don't join, I want to persuade you"

"Uncle Shi is so disoptimistic about them?"

"Yes"

"Why"

I can't understand why Dao Heng is so optimistic about them, in my opinion, Li Yao and the others are extremely cultivated, their magic skills are superb, and their skills such as alchemy are also superb, except for the pursuit of ethereal immortality, there is nothing to blame.

"Are you thinking in your heart, those of them are very powerful, they can live for a long time, they can cultivate to a high level, they can make alchemy, they can even make divine weapons, and the dignitaries and nobles also beg them to treat them as ancestors, how can they not look down on such a perfect thing?"

"Isn't it, uncle?"

"That's because you're lost in them, and I ask you what their ultimate purpose is in doing this."

"Immortality"

"Yes, it's immortality, then I ask you, can this immortality be achieved?"

"I'm not sure, it's ethereal"

"Isn't this it, for an ethereal thing, a lifetime of waste, three hundred years of accumulation, three hundred years of painstaking solitude, just for an ethereal thing, how ridiculous you say.

Jin Yang, you have read the book, you should know that we people have to have some spiritual pursuits after pursuing material life, if these skills they study are for the benefit of mankind and for the development of the country, then I Dao Heng admires them in my heart, but for the so-called immortality, I'm sorry, I don't look down on it."

"Uncle Shi, you can't say that, if they really succeed, it will undoubtedly be the greatest help to human beings, and they can help human beings jump to the level of life."

"Isn't this the story of Ye Gong's good dragon, with dragon slaying skills, what about dragons?"

"Hey, I can't tell you clearly, these should be two kinds of thinking, the public says that the public is reasonable, and I have no way"

"Jin Yang, I won't persuade you to quit, don't worry, it's okay for you to join them, but I want to say to you, if you have a long life and have their platform, then you have to do something meaningful to mankind, don't spend your whole life for that ethereal thing, wait until you are old, look back, you have done everything in your life, there is no meaning.

They have extremely powerful alchemy, so can they study some elixirs that cure diseases and save people, they can refine divine weapons, can they be helpful in material science, they have strong cultivation, can they deal with some demons and monsters.

We can't be ambitious, the road of immortality is not impossible to pursue, but it can't be the only goal of your life, you know, we have to be practical"

Dao Heng patiently persuaded him, his opinion was the same as that of many people, he felt that it was not worth spending his life for that empty goal, and it was better to leave something meaningful in his limited life. That's what life is all about.

"Uncle Xie taught, I know what Uncle Shi meant, Uncle rest assured, Jin Yang is not that kind of person, the Avenue of Immortality will not be my only goal in life, and those senior brothers will not prohibit me from studying other things, they have done a good job in seeking common ground while reserving differences"

I nodded and agreed with what Dao Heng said, I appreciate Li Yao's spirit of study, but I still have no feeling for immortality, and I won't spend any energy on this matter at all.

In the future, my goal should still be to improve my cultivation, longevity is just a matter of incident, if I have time, it is not bad to study medical skills and alchemy and the like, in short, I have to find something to enrich my life.

I don't deceive Li Yao and them, because I won't hide these things, I must explain that we have some common goals, such as wanting to live longer, but there are also differences, which they can also tolerate.

I lived in Doutian Palace for a full month, and during this month, I was digesting the books that Li Yao gave me, and the content in them was extremely rich, which made me breathtaking.

And I don't have any foundation for the alchemy part, but fortunately, Dao Heng is here, so I asked Dao Heng again and again, and slowly entered the door.

A month passed, and Lin Bai began to urge me to go back, and it was not a matter to run all the time, so I said goodbye to Dao Heng.

"You still have to face it, and you have to change your mentality, now it's others begging you, what are you afraid of"

"I know, Uncle Shi, you have to take good care of your health, Liu An will still expect you to teach and teach when the time comes."

"I'm an old man teaching a fart, you still have to prepare to protect my Doutian Palace, you have grown up now and have the ability"

"Uncle Shi, don't worry, with me, everything is at ease"

"Got it, let's go"

I left Doutian Palace with great reluctance, I could see that Dao Heng's time was really running out, and he was about to run out of oil and the lamp was dry, and I didn't know how long it would last.

When I returned to the capital, Lin Bai called me and said that he was giving me an adjustment job.

"Jin Yang, don't you like to go to work in Zhonghai, that's good, I will arrange a good job for you"

"How I don't think it's going to be a good thing"

"Phew, what do you mean, want to disobey?"

"How dare you, Director Lin, say it"

"How about giving you a job as an Inspector?"

"What's that, Inspector?"

"This is the abbreviation, the full name is the head of the special inspection team of the Security Bureau, of course, there are no subordinates, a bald commander"

"What for?"

"As the name suggests, for patrolling, you know that we have been very short of manpower, many things need to be helped, what can't be done will be called for help to the various bureaus, if the sub-bureau can't be done, then I have to go out of the headquarters, and I'll let you when the time comes"

"Isn't this the captain of the firefight, why are you still patrolling, what a fool?"

"Then do you want to do it?"

"It's okay to do it, but there have to be restrictions several times, so I can't run around all year round."

"No problem, just do a twelve-time mission a year, it's enough, you can rest if you do a task once a month, it's beautiful."

"Don't do it"
