Practice in seclusion and don't ask about other people's affairs.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qingyuan used his original soul power to perform a special method to absorb most of the Taoist rhyme of this holy medicine, locking it firmly in the depths of his soul power. It will be unsealed when it merges with his body.

Outside the barrier, Yan Ze never left, doing his job conscientiously.

During this period, Wang Taohua came twice and found that Chen Qingyuan was still in seclusion. She felt bored and turned away.

Ten years later, it was spring.

The spring rain is continuous, nourishing the earth.

There are new sprouts everywhere, a picture full of vitality.

"Ah-"

Today, Chen Qingyuan completely refined this holy medicine without wasting any of its medicinal power, and it was all wrapped up in soul power.

At the same time, a muffled groan came from his body.

The foundation had not been repaired for a long time and was further damaged.

As a result, his cultivation level dropped all the way, crossing the Earth Spirit Realm and reaching the Mysterious Spirit Realm.

Before long, I will become an ordinary person.

After a quick observation, you can find that there is white frost on Chen Qingyuan's temples, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and a hint of old age between his brows.

Although the holy medicine was refined using the original soul power, it more or less affected this body, aggravating its injuries and causing the vitality to drain away noticeably faster.

This is good, so that this life can be fulfilled as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, is everything going well?"

Yan Ze noticed it the moment Chen Qingyuan woke up. He turned around, lifted the ban with a flick of his sleeve, walked quickly towards him, and asked with concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Looking at his friend, Chen Qingyuan smiled and nodded.

"What are your subsequent plans?"

Yan Ze naturally saw Chen Qingyuan's aging appearance. He knew that this was not his true body but his enlightened body, but his heart still tightened slightly and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

“Travel around and kill time.”

Chen Qingyuan didn't want to stay here for a long time.

Take a stroll around the prosperous areas of Cangyuzhou and enjoy the beautiful scenery in various places.

"If your majesty does not mind, I am willing to follow you."

Yan Ze volunteered and spoke with a bow.

"I definitely need you to accompany me, otherwise I can't walk far."

The key is that Chen Qingyuan likes Yan Ze's craftsmanship very much, and every dish he makes is delicious.

"It is an honor to be able to travel with you, Your Majesty."

Although Yan Ze is a friend of Chen Qingyuan, he always puts himself in a lower position, behaves respectfully and never oversteps the line.

"Set off."

It's really boring to just admire the landscape here all the time.

People outside want to live a pastoral life surrounded by mountains and rivers, while people inside want to step into the bustling world.

Before leaving the jurisdiction of Xuanling Holy Land, Yan Ze obtained Chen Qingyuan's permission and sent a message to Wang Taohua through the air to inform her.

"Come back and die."

Wang Taohua was in the holy land and did not come out to see him off. She said these words through voice transmission from countless miles away.

So, Chen Qingyuan and Yan Ze traveled together without any specific goal, and they were leisurely and comfortable.

One day, they went to a prosperous and dreamy ancient city, and happened to encounter a few playboys making trouble, and secretly stopped them.

This action attracted the elders behind him, who first inquired about the origins of Chen Qingyuan and Yan Ze, but were told that they were casual cultivators. Their attitude obviously changed, and they became arrogant and aggressive.

As the situation became more and more serious, Yan Ze slapped out with one palm, suppressing all those who thought they were superior. His might was like a sea of ​​stars pouring down, flooding this world, shaking the world.

The ancestors of these people's sects felt extremely frightened and immediately rushed over, bowing and apologizing.

After teaching them a lesson, Chen Qingyuan and Yan Ze turned around and left, and their whereabouts disappeared.

As for how the ancestor of this sect dealt with the troublemakers, he was too lazy to care.

One day, the two went to a mortal dynasty.

On a whim, he would change the fortunes of the dynasty, making it more prosperous and the people living and working in peace and contentment.

Enjoy the scenery and taste the delicious food.

Climb high mountains and cross long rivers.

The mind is in a state of extreme relaxation, without any shackles or restraints, and one is free and independent, enjoying life.

One day, the two of them sat on the edge of a cliff at the top of a thousand-foot-high mountain, surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds, overlooking the vast earth.

Chen Qingyuan counted on his fingers and realized that he had been traveling for more than 20 years. He sighed that time passed so quickly.

There were a few more wrinkles on his face.

His cultivation has already reached the innate realm.

In a few years, they will fall to the acquired realm. Finally, they will become mortals.

The years have left obvious marks on his body, his face is weathered and his eyes are deep.

According to Chen Qingyuan's own inference, in fifty years at most, the vitality of this body will be completely exhausted.

"How about a trip to your hometown?"

Speaking of which, Chen Qingyuan has never been to Yan Ze’s hometown. Since he has nothing to do, he might as well take a walk around.

"it is good."

Yan Ze naturally would not refuse Chen Qingyuan's request.

After two drinks, we set off again.

Sitting in an exquisite warship, Chen Qingyuan closed his eyes and rested.

Yan Ze remained silent, and his spiritual energy propelled the warship forward.

Many days later, the two appeared in a place with thin spiritual energy.

There are very few practitioners here, and it is only suitable for ordinary creatures to live here.

"Your Majesty, this is my homeland."

The two walked slowly on the solid ground. Yan Ze pointed in a direction, his tone full of emotion.

"Do you have any relatives alive?"

Although this was not possible, Chen Qingyuan wanted to know more about it, so he asked anyway.

Yan Ze shook his head, looked ahead, and sighed, "The life span of a mortal body is only a hundred years."

Born in a poor land, he followed his old father as a cook since childhood.

Cutting vegetables and cooking every day made Yan Ze find a unique way to practice Taoism. Since then, his life has changed dramatically.

What made him regretful was that when he returned from a retreat, both his parents had passed away.

For this reason, Yan Ze couldn't accept it for a while.

Fortunately, he was determined and persevered.

After guarding the tomb for several years, he finally left the world.

From that moment on, Yan Ze was like a real dragon, returning to the sea, no longer bound.

"Things change and people change."

Chen Qingyuan could understand Yan Ze's feelings very well. He observed the plants and trees around him and whispered.

"Originally there were hundreds of dynasties here. After more than 20,000 years of fighting, hundreds of kingdoms united and established a new kingdom."

The so-called hometown has actually long lost its former scenery.

Walking here, Yan Ze occasionally sees a familiar scenery, which evokes memories buried deep in his heart.

The two stayed in this place for half a year, during which time they met several kind-hearted people who secretly gave them a small opportunity. If they could grasp it, they might be able to embark on spiritual practice in the future. If they couldn't grasp it, they could still live a long life without illness or disaster.

"Let's go back!"

After wandering for many years, Chen Qingyuan's health deteriorated, he felt weak and tired.

"it is good."

Yan Ze nodded in agreement.
