Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 323 Life Extension Pill

Ning Ji's voice was low and faint, revealing a hint of repressed emotion amidst the whistling wind.

Si He suppressed her turbulent emotions and managed not to choke out a sob. She tried to speak in a calm tone and replied with a smile, "Okay."

The next moment, she felt his hand around her tighten a little.

The horse walked slowly step by step in the forest, and Mo Mo followed slowly behind.

The sky was a little dark at this moment, with no sunlight shining, just like her mood at the moment.

The tears in her eyes blurred her vision, and only when the wind blew did the tears in her eyes fall away.

Ning Ji gently kissed the side of her face.

The slight wet touch, with a sense of cherishment, made her feel his ultimate love.

Si He tried hard to raise the corners of her mouth, trying to pretend nothing had happened, swallowing her sobs. After a while, she spoke, "Husband, what did you say to that monk before? What made him so angry?"

She changed the sad topic, raised her hand, wiped her tears unnoticeably, but pretended to push the hair on the side of her face behind her ear, then turned her head and looked at Ning Ji with a smile.

Her smile at this moment was sweet, with some curiosity and exploration, but if you could ignore her red eyes and the few traces of tears that still remained, you might really think that she was quite happy at this moment.

But it makes people feel even more distressed when she does this.

Ning Ji wanted to smile, but couldn't. After calming himself down, he tried to speak in a relatively cheerful tone, saying to her, "He used his spiritual essence to refine a pill called the Longevity Pill. This pill does have some effect, delaying the illness and prolonging life. However, this medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If you take it more often, the side effects will appear."

Zang Nian had not hidden anything from him before and told him the truth about the longevity pill. This was mainly because he wanted to know the solution from him. After all, he and Si He were the first people to extract the spiritual essence, and seeing that Si He's appearance had not changed at all, Zang Nian felt that the two of them had the deepest understanding of the spiritual essence, so there was no need to hide the matter of the longevity pill from him.

"For ordinary people, spiritual essence can save lives if taken in small amounts after clearing away the evil spirits. However, poison is still poison. Once it accumulates in the body, it is difficult to eliminate, and it cannot be converted into energy like you can. The more spiritual essence accumulates, the more obvious the changes in the body will be. Slowly, you will become a body of evil spirits, easily attracting evil spirits."

"The monk said that several people became possessed by evil spirits after taking the longevity pill multiple times, and were tragically harmed by evil spirits. Because the disadvantages were so obvious, he reduced the sale of the longevity pill."

"However, due to his health, he also took longevity pills several times. Fortunately, he has a high level of Taoism, powerful body protection treasures, and has been taking other medicines to suppress his symptoms for many years, so he has survived to this day."

After hearing what Ning Ji said, Si He suddenly realized. No wonder she felt that the monk was a little strange before. She could vaguely feel the faint evil aura from him from a distance. She thought it was because of the reason they went to the tomb, but it turned out that it was not entirely true.

Ning Ji continued, "I told him the method of purifying spiritual essence, and then half-truthed with him a few words, saying that if you take too much spiritual essence, it will be difficult to reincarnate. Once the body becomes a Yin evil body, the soul will be imprisoned, and after death, it will be reincarnated as a fierce corpse, becoming a body that nourishes spiritual essence. Maybe he believed it for a moment, and that's why he lost his composure."

Si He recalled the monk's angry look and it seemed that he really believed it.

However, what Ning Ji said may not be wrong.

Aren’t those bodies that nourish essence turned into that state because they took spiritual essence?

Once you become a corpse, your soul is imprisoned and you really cannot be reincarnated, if that is the case.

Anyone who thinks that he or she will become a corpse or a spirit-nurturing body after death will not be able to bear it.

"Then what happened when he took your pulse later?"

Si He stared at Ning Ji's face, feeling a little uneasy.

Ning Ji raised his hand and touched her head. "When I was previously infected by the evil spirit, I used it to deceive the monk. That's why he didn't suspect you."

He said it calmly, but Si He felt uncomfortable again.

She knew that being injured by the evil spirit would indeed shorten her lifespan. Even though Ning Ji had taken care of her body before, she was still injured.

Si He lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them, and tried to speak in a more relaxed tone, "That monk seems quite shrewd, but he's not easy to fool."

Ning Ji raised a faint smile and said, "I told him that you did take the spiritual essence, but I transferred the evil energy in your body into my own, which damaged my foundation, and that's why you maintain your ageless appearance. He was skeptical, but after taking my pulse, he probably believed it a little more."

Si He pursed her lips for a long moment before looking up at him. "Is that monk very troublesome?"

Otherwise, Ning Ji would not have deceived him like this instead of killing him.

Ning Ji said, "It's quite tricky. I originally thought about killing him, but his current condition is quite dire and he won't live long, so there's no need to push him. Besides, he doesn't have any malicious intentions at the moment."

Although Ning Ji had never fought with Zang Nian, sometimes masters were very keen on estimating each other's strength and would not want to suffer losses unless necessary.

Moreover, although Zang Nian is a monk, it is undeniable that he has strong abilities in all aspects. His achievements in alchemy are not low. He is indeed capable of using spiritual essence to refine the longevity pill. He also wants to know how Zang Nian will improve the longevity pill?

Si He leaned against Ning Ji, her mood gradually calming down, but her eyes were still deep. "Judging from the situation, that monk must have a deep understanding of spirits. He probably deliberately led the people in the forest to this mountain."

As for what to do with them in the mountains?

The purpose is self-evident.

From what Zang Nian said to them without any scruples before, we knew that those people would not live long, so they didn't care.

As for the private chat that followed, Zang Nian's original purpose might have been just to better restrain the person temporarily. People are like this, they will be more curious when they only know a little bit, let alone such a big secret.

It is conceivable how those people will be led into the abyss of death by Zang Nian in the end. It would be a good thing if they could die happily, but now Zang Nian wants to study the longevity elixir and spiritual essence, so those people will not die so easily.

The mountain wind blew again, and the shadows of the trees swayed. Except for the occasional bird calls, there was silence all around. However, the dangers in this forest have never stopped, whether from the environment, wild animals or poisonous insects, but the human factor is definitely not absent.
