Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Qin Jiaming’s expression was sorrowful:

”Brother, do you think a mad dog on the verge of old age would allow her caretaker to leave willingly?”

One had to say.

Qin Jiaming’s words seemed quite reasonable.

After a thousand cycles of reincarnation, her powers were indeed almost depleted.

Otherwise, recent generations of Divine Sons would not have died young.

Besides.

Chen Ye was already aware that the Emotion Crossing Sect would find ways to harvest Qin Jiaming’s blood essence, to claim her cultivation for their own practices.

Yet, Chen Ye was well aware of the demoness’s words and knew not to trust them wholly.

For instance, when she was in Celestial Abyss earlier, her words were half-truths, all meant to achieve some purpose.

”Oh? So the Divine Son’s suggestion is... you want me to help kill her?”

Chen Ye suppressed his doubts and asked following the flow,

”But she has Golden Core cultivation, and I am only in the Foundation Establishment Stage; how could I be her opponent?”

”Brother misunderstood.”

The young girl looked up, her watery eyes were pitiful, her slender arms gently embracing Chen Ye’s waist, she softly said,

”Jiaming just wants to say, now Jiaming has only Brother to rely on. Brother is Jiaming’s savior. As long as Brother is here, Jiaming fears nothing... You’ll help Jiaming, won’t you?”

Chen Ye remained still as a mountain, allowing her to hold him, while inwardly sneering.

Savior?

If this woman were truly as weak and helpless as she appeared, Celestial Abyss wouldn’t have been blown upside down by her.

”Since the Divine Son considers me a savior,”

Chen Ye lowered his eyes, his tone cold and unaffected,

”why not first tell me what help you need?”

Although Chen Ye’s words were indifferent, he didn’t push her away. The girl slightly curled her lips and leisurely began:

”This time, Jiaming risked returning to Duqing Sect to retrieve something that originally belonged to me—a Supreme Treasure Pill refined from the blood essence willingly separated from the true form of my ancestor’s generation!”

Chen Ye’s heart shook.

The Divine Son from generations back?

He recalled that the recent two generations of Divine Sons had not formed Golden Cores, but the Divine Son from generations back successfully formed one.

And a pill refined from the blood essence of a Golden Core Divine Son... its effects must be extremely heaven-defying!

Qin Jiaming released Chen Ye, pacing barefoot on the soft carpet, her tone cold:

”Back then, knowing that the body wouldn’t last long, I willingly drained my source blood, purposely letting the three Divine Venerables know. Those three stubborn old ones indeed became greedy, attempting to devour the Divine Son’s blood essence to seek breakthroughs. To refine this blood essence into a supreme pill, they spent decades and exhausted Duqing Sect’s vast resources and foundation!”

”Brother, do you really think the Emotion Crossing Sect’s expansion in recent years and blood war with Lingyin Sect were merely for territory?”

”Wrong! It’s because these old demons’ alchemy almost emptied Duqing Sect’s assets, and they were running short, forcing them to plunder continuously to make up for the deficits!”

Chen Ye became thoughtful.

So, this has been the real purpose behind the recent battle between Duqing and Lingyin?

Tsk...

This madman indeed, using her own blood essence as bait, had the three Golden Core Divine Venerables spend decades and the foundation of a whole sect to refine a pill for her.

”The fruit has ripened now, and Jiaming naturally intends to reel it back.”

Qin Jiaming licked her lips, her gaze suddenly dimmed,

”But there’s been a small mishap along the way.”

”The Divine Venerables’ grand effort in refining the treasure pill alarmed Li Family, who dispatched a delegation to the Emotion Crossing Sect under the guise of collecting sacred tributes ahead of schedule. But really, they’re after this treasure pill of mine!”

”Brother... without this pill, Jiaming won’t live long in this life either. If Jiaming dies, who will warm Brother’s bed...”

Li Family?

Chen Ye’s mind raced.

Previously at Chouyun Pass, he encountered Li Family’s delegation, along with Huayue Mansion’s people who had followed them there.

He mused inwardly:

”Ha... Hua Jingxin had said earlier that the Six Ancestors came from Li Family this time, selfish and fearful, unwilling to intervene further in Celestial Abyss’s matters.”

”Yet unexpectedly, they aimed straight for this treasure pill.”

He knew little about these people from Ruins Country.

But fortunately.

Chen Ye still had Hua Jingxin as a hidden card, which might prove unexpectedly useful.

”Li Family is formidable, not to mention three Golden Core Venerables in the sect watching closely.”

Chen Ye looked down at the delicate and frail girl before him and paused, saying,

”I’m merely a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Divine Son esteems me too highly.”

”Brother is not weak!”

Qin Jiaming reached out her fair little hands, tugging at Chen Ye’s sleeve, gently shaking.

She looked up with a face delicate like a porcelain doll, her eyes brimmed with tears.

”When we were at the Thunder Pool, Jiaming already knew Brother was the strongest person in the world. Those Golden Core Venerables, Li Family founders, in front of Brother, are nothing! Now Jiaming is scared, surrounded by people wanting to devour her flesh... Brother is Jiaming’s only savior, can Brother bear to watch Jiaming die?”

Chen Ye tolerated her whining, feeling a chill inside.

Back in the Thunder Pool... what exactly were we doing then, do you really have no clue?

”Stop flattering me.”

Chen Ye’s tone softened slightly, feigning reluctant compromise,

”Ha... if I don’t help you, won’t you assist me in rescuing Brother Bai?”

The girl pouted, looking aggrieved:

”In Brother’s heart, is Jiaming just a utilitarian person? Jiaming simply wants to play with Brother and his pupil. If Brother is willing, then Jiaming will surely assist!”
