Chapter 81: Congratulations from all directions
The old man poured all the fairy water in the bottle into his mouth in one gulp and swallowed it in one gulp. In an instant, a warm liquid slowly slid down the esophagus into his body, and the feeling was so silky and soft.
Then, a warmth rose from the stomach, and slowly this warmth spread around the body, filling the internal organs, veins, and limbs. The old man felt a slight beating in his body, and this slight beating was perfectly synchronized with his heartbeat, and as the frequency of the beating increased, the old man found that his body was undergoing obvious changes.
First of all, the interval between each breath has become longer, and with each breath, I feel that the cells in the body are completely activated by the inhaled air, and the turbidity exhaled becomes very obvious.
The second is the heartbeat, which has become more powerful. I felt my heartbeat so clearly, or when I was young.
Then the skin began to become tight, and the old man raised his arm, only to see that the already wrinkled skin on his arm was slightly reddened and moisturized.
"Old man, how come the wrinkles on your face have become less, and your skin is rosy and smooth." The third aunt on the side cried out in surprise.
"No, the old man's hair is actually black." The third uncle also shouted. Originally, the old man was full of white hair, almost no black hair, but now he has obviously grown some black hair.
The old man slowly raised his head to look at everyone, and found that his vision, which had been blurred, gradually became clearer, and his hearing was much better than before. This.. He looked at Ling Zixuan in disbelief.
Ling Buyi watched his father's changes, and his hands trembled with excitement. Obviously, the effect of this bottle of immortal water was even more magical than what Ling Zixuan gave him and Mu Wenying, and even he felt incredible.
Ling Zixuan looked at his excited father and his grandfather, who looked surprised but slightly young, and smiled with satisfaction. When he was making this bottle of fairy water, he specially refined a little cold marrow and added it to it. That cold marrow is a priceless treasure, and with the right materials, you can refine the marrow washing pill, which has the effect of changing the physique.
However, Ling Zixuan knew that the marrow washing pill would not have much effect on his grandfather, after all, he had reached the twilight of his life, and it was impossible to change the essence of his body with marrow washing.
That's why he thought of refining the cold marrow and adding it to the fairy water, so that it can at least cooperate with the life elements in the fairy water to improve the effect, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect. He looked at his grandfather's body with his divine sense, and the trace of death he had found before had magically disappeared, and now he observed that his grandfather's physical age was at least fifteen years younger than before. It seems that the effect of using cold pith is still very obvious, and it is worth it!
All of a sudden, the entire Ling Mansion went crazy, and the old man turned out to be young. Although it is not such an exaggeration as rejuvenation, it is still significantly younger than ten years old. This is okay, the fairy water against the sky.
Everyone looked at Ling Zixuan differently, especially the ladies among the elders, everyone squeezed around Ling Buyi's family, for fear that something was wrong. Only Ling Shuangshuang's mother didn't get up, but she also stood up frantically and shouted.
"Hey! Woman! Ling Shuangshuang shook her head and sighed! Ling Buregret on the side twitched his face, and scolded in his heart, Aren't you a woman?
Ling Zixuan looked at the relatives of the Ling family who suddenly became crazy around him, his brows furrowed, and he didn't speak, just looked at everyone coldly. However, Ling Buyi and his wife, surrounded by everyone, promised everyone that everyone in the Ling family would give a bottle of fairy water from the Ling family's shop, because this fairy water would only produce such a miraculous effect if each person took it for the first time, so after everyone heard it, they all returned to their seats happily and satisfied.
At this time, Ling Buyi and his wife suddenly became the most popular characters in the Ling Mansion, and each relative would take the initiative to toast and say hello to the two, for fear of forgetting to give her fairy water.
The old man looked at Ling Zixuan and asked, "Zixuan, is this the product developed by your Ling family shop?" It's expensive, isn't it? ”
"Grandpa, this bottle of fairy water of yours is specially refined for you, it can be said to be a priceless treasure, and our Ling family shop has never had it, and of course there will be no one in the future. As for the fairy water sold to the outside world, it can reverse the age by five years, and then it is true that long-term use can delay aging. Ling Zixuan explained to his grandfather.
Hearing Ling Zixuan say that it was a priceless treasure, the old man chuckled in his heart. He could see that Ling Zixuan was not exaggerating or lying, it seems that my grandson is not simple, the old man suddenly became a little thoughtful. But soon a voice outside interrupted his thoughts.
"The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is here to celebrate the birthday of Lao Shangshu!" It turned out that the colleagues of the third child came to celebrate the old man's birthday. Lao Sanling was not afraid to immediately take his wife and happily greeted his colleagues at the door, and several bachelors from the Hanlin Academy entered the courtyard one by one to congratulate the old man on his birthday.
After all, the old man has been in the position of Shangshu for a long time, so several older scholars of the Hanlin Academy have great respect for the old man, and the younger ones are mainly here to cheer for the third child. Seeing the arrival of so many colleagues, it was obvious that the waist of the third couple was much straighter. Ling Ziyi and Ling Zilei were also pulled to the old man's side by their parents, and they were praised by everyone.
After sending off a group of colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, there was a commotion at the door, and the person who came was dressed in a straight official robe, and the whole person walked like the wind and stood like a pine. At first glance, he is a high-ranking official of the imperial court who is rigorous in his work and strict with himself. After seeing the visitor, Lao Si immediately put down the cup in his hand and walked quickly to the visitor.
"Lord Wang, why did you come here, hurry up and sit in the house." The fourth child, who was full of smiles, immediately beckoned his wife to give up his seat. But after Lord Wang nodded a little and said hello, he walked directly inside, came to the old man's side, bowed down and said, "Student Wang Wei, I wish Lao Shangshu a birthday, I wish Lao Shangshu a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity better than Nanshan!" ”
It turned out that Wang Wei, the Qing of Dali Temple, was the old man's student at the earliest, so the old man sent his youngest son to Dali Temple, which could be regarded as letting him take care of it. Seeing Wang Wei in person, the old man was also very happy, and he drank two more glasses. Wang Wei was on official business, and after giving the gift, he left the Ling Mansion accompanied by the fourth Ling.
Then many officialdom colleagues of the Ling family's sons and nephews came one after another to congratulate the old man on his birthday, which made the Ling Mansion, which had not prepared a birthday banquet with great fanfare, suddenly become crowded. The Ling Buyi family, which had been sought after by everyone, slowly became cold. After all, their business is in the East China Sea, and there is almost no relationship between the capital. So once again, he was ridiculed and snubbed by his relatives.
"Hey, cousin Zixuan, it seems that your family really has no connections in the capital, and there are no people who come to celebrate grandpa's birthday, and you can't do anything if you don't have connections in the capital!" On the side, Ling Zitian said sneering at Ling Zixuan. Several cousins of the Ling family next to him also gossiped and cooperated with Ling Zitian.
Ling Zixuan didn't pay attention to their ridicule at all, drinking tea alone, sipping melon seeds, very leisurely, and didn't take them seriously at all. On the contrary, Ling Shuangshuang couldn't listen to it and scolded a few people directly: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!" ”
When several people saw that Ling Shuangshuang had once again defended Ling Zixuan, they immediately stopped making a sound, but there was still mockery in their eyes.
