The Other Side of Deep Space

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Lao Chen's Protector



In a super battleship with a cold metallic sheen, Zhong Yong, a representative of the big chaebols, said, "Send a portion of the elixir I use to Xiao Chen."

A middle-aged man hesitated after hearing this and said, "Is it the elixir of immortality... or the health-preserving liquid?"

He was afraid that the old man would make a mistake. The former was ridiculously valuable and required the collection of various exotic minerals and rare herbs across the stars. The refining process was extremely difficult and would easily become waste liquid.

It could not be mass-produced and had always been in high demand. In the end, it would only fall into the hands of a few super chaebols. Even if a few of the medicines were sold on the black market, they would only be sold at sky-high prices.

Although Zhong Yong was thin and his hair was sparse and white, he was very imposing and his words and deeds were unquestionable. He glanced over and immediately made the middle-aged man sweat on his forehead.

"I'll arrange it right away." The middle-aged man lowered his head and said quickly.

Zhong Yong told him not to be nervous and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

"Do you think so highly of Chen Yongjie? But he probably won't survive." A gray-haired old man next to him spoke up. It was Zhong Yong's second son, Zhong Changming.

Zhong Yong said calmly: "To make a good relationship, people should know how to be grateful."

Zhong Changming was slightly surprised. Is his old father becoming more and more soft-hearted in his old age? In any case, facing his always strong old father, he could only nod his head.

Zhong Yong added: "I mean, after the liquid medicine is delivered in public, those who practice the old art should know how to be grateful."

Zhong Changming was speechless, and after a moment he said: "Are you more optimistic about the old art path?"

"It's hard to say whether I am optimistic or not. At the beginning, some seeds of tiger and wolf medicine were dug out from the ruins, which can obviously strengthen the old art path. Who knows what else can be discovered in the future." Zhong Yong said.

"Zhong Changming asked: Should we send something to Xinshu Road?"

Old Zhong shook his head and said: "Didn't I give them a sum of money? Don't send anything. In the future, we will directly dig out the latest research results of Xinshu from their internal Tianjie."

Then he said coldly: "Power must always be in your own hands, which is irrefutable in any era. I will add one more item to my will. In addition to everything I already have, if I want to become an heir, I must also attach great importance to the extraordinary field. The Zhong family must always be at the forefront!"

Then, Zhong Yong said earnestly: "It doesn't matter now, but what if mythical creatures appear in dozens or hundreds of years? Among the descendants of the Zhong family, someone must maintain the advantage and become a pole in this field. It doesn't matter if I am old and I don't have many years to live, but you must plan ahead to avoid regrets in the future, falling from the top of the pyramid, and looking at people's faces."

Zhong Changming suddenly became very serious, but deep in his heart, he was also complaining that his father was good at everything, but his words were not sincere.

His old father was extremely greedy for the secular world and extremely afraid of death. Since twenty years ago, he has been critically ill several times, but each time he was able to survive at a huge cost by finding a life-extending method and has lived until now, outlasting his first-line heir, the eldest son.

Zhong Changming sighed. He estimated that he probably couldn't outlast his old father. It didn't matter if he didn't have the status of heir. It was better to leave it to the next generation to fight for.

A very pretty girl walked in. She could come and go here at will, and was obviously loved by Zhong Yong.

When the girl smiled, her big eyes seemed to speak, and she looked more beautiful. She said: "Grandpa, don't worry, the expedition team I organized will definitely dig up the earth fairy grass for you, so that you can live 500 years longer. Recently, I have found several very powerful people, and they will be gathered together in the near future."

Zhong Changming sighed in his heart, child, if you can really pick the earth fairy grass, you and your brothers don't have to think about that position. The old man will keep it and outlast you all!

This is just a microcosm, the chaebols and major organizations are all similar!

"What's going on?" Qingmu was extremely anxious. Seeing a small flying ship falling, he rushed over and asked his master how he was doing.

"The situation is very grim. After examination, Lao Chen's five internal organs are all cracked, densely packed. If they really need to be separated, they will break into hundreds of pieces." Qian Lei from the relevant department came. He had been to the underground experimental field in Daxing'anling with Qingmu and Wang Xuan.

He seriously informed the situation that all existing means were useless, because Lao Chen's five internal organs were still entangled with mysterious lightning. If some measures were really taken, the five internal organs might explode on the spot.

Qingmu's face was pale and he was weak all over. If the most advanced medical treatment was useless, then his master would really have no way out.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Qian Lei received a call and came back to tell Qingmu a good news. The Zhong family in the super chaebol sent a dose of elixir of immortality. Although it did not bring Lao Chen back to life, it stabilized Lao Chen's condition.

"Isn't it more precious than the life-saving medicine we have on the way?" Wu Yin asked in a low voice.

Wu Chenglin nodded and said, "This is really the style of old man Zhong Yong, who emphasizes giving and gaining. If Old Chen can't hold on, I guess Old man Zhong will send someone to send his handwritten elegiac couplet. At this time, people who practice the old technique are gathered together, and they will definitely remember his kindness."

Wu Yin: "..."

Old Wu added: "Of course, he must have appeased the new technique."

Wu Yin whispered: "I just want to see how long he can live."

Soon, Qian Lei told Qingmu that after a consultation with a group of medical experts, it was unanimously agreed that Old Chen could hold on for two days after taking the elixir of immortality.

Old Wu stepped forward at the right time to tell Qingmu that the Wu family also sent a large medicine, which was half as effective as the elixir of immortality.

"That is to say, Lao Chen can still hold on for two or three days." Wang Xuan's frown relaxed slightly, and he pulled Qingmu aside and whispered in a barely audible voice: "I have an ancient method that you can try. Now is the time to test you. Use all your connections to ask for help from relevant departments and find ancient artifacts related to the ascension of the ancients, such as relics, Taoist golden bones, and relics of pre-Qin alchemists... Search with all your strength! If there is really nothing, dig out the broken stone caves and floor tiles related to the legends of immortals. In short, try to move all that can be found together."

Qingmu was stunned. What is this for?

"Alchemy!" But in an instant, Wang Xuan shook his head again and said, "Don't ask, just say that it is the secret book that your master got before, which records the old methods of Zhuyou and ancient witches, and borrowing objects for sacrifice. In short, don't mention me, get rid of me, otherwise something will happen!"

Wang Xuan whispered to Qingmu, saying a lot, various reminders, but he still sighed. In order to save people, he was forced to risk it.

He was a little worried. Those big organizations, chaebols, and relevant departments were all very smart. Even if they were extremely careful and took strict precautions, they would most likely leave traces.

"Old Chen, since I met you, I found that you are a trap!" He sighed to the sky.

Soon he reminded Qingmu, "By the way, there is also Suihouzhu. When the time comes, you must come here first and put it next to your master. The most famous auspicious treasure in ancient times will protect your life."

Wang Xuan sighed and stepped aside.

He walked back and forth, feeling uneasy, sighing: "Old Chen, since you appeared, I have started to have bad luck. You have been tossing me all the way. I have to give you female alchemists, monks, and everything. Now you are dragging me into an unpredictable vortex!"

Qingmu went to ask for help, using all means and relationships, collecting various antiques, and said that he would try to extend Old Chen's life with secret methods such as Zhuyou and ancient witchcraft.

After he came back, he happened to hear Wang Xuan talking to himself, and was speechless. Who would let you send ghost monks to possess you? !

"Your master is willing!" Wang Xuan responded confidently.

Qingmu wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be true. Others were extremely afraid, but his master was... willing to do it!

"Is there any way to save Lao Chen?" Wu Chenglin came over.

Wang Xuan immediately said: "Lao Qing just went to ask a senior, saying that he needed rare and precious antiques, such as golden bamboo slips from the pre-Qin period, which might save his life."

Old Wu ignored him and looked at Qingmu.

Qingmu sighed and said: "I just contacted him by phone, and the old senior said that he needed rare and precious objects related to the immortals."

Wang Xuan walked to Da Wu, tried to get close to her, and asked him if the Wu family had golden bamboo slips?

Wu Yin rolled her eyes at him directly, and finally whispered to him that the super chaebol Zhong family had it, but it was definitely not available for borrowing, and the thing was kept secret.

"Does Old Zhong have a granddaughter?" Wang Xuan asked.

"What do you want to do with a great-granddaughter?" Big Wu asked him indifferently.

"I think you should know each other, and you are good friends, right? You can try through her. Saving Old Chen's life is better than building a seven-hundred-story pagoda. When the time comes to cooperate with your Wu family, Old Chen will definitely risk his life and give up his life to help!"

"I have always hoped that someone can deal with Xiao Zhong!" Big Wu said, as if he had suffered a great loss.

Wang Xuan was speechless and couldn't talk anymore. He simply comforted her that there was no need to get angry, and he would find a chance to care about it later, and then ran to get close to Old Wu.

He found that Old Wu had a lot of ideas, and he didn't dare to mention anything after all, for fear of exposing his feet, so he could only rely on Qingmu to mobilize his relationship.

Qingmu spoke in the name of saving Lao Chen, and he really found some things, and the relevant parties gave him face.

Wang Xuan walked aside, thinking alone, considering various situations, and finally said with a heavy heart: "Lao Chen, you have caused me too much trouble. I gave you the ghost monk and the physical skills that surpassed the Great Vajra Fist. This time I have to risk my life to try to save your life. Since we met, I have been escorting you all the way. I have really become your true protector!"
