Chapter 265 My Own Longevity Research Institute

This gentle breeze, rising from who knows where, drifted through every corner of the ancient city of Tongjing like a mischievous child.

Soon, a low, deep sound began to echo within the ancient city of Gutongjing.

"This is……"

Upon hearing the noise, the girls stood up and looked around.

Shh! Listen quietly, don't make a sound.

Cheng Feng, who was sitting still, gently quieted the four women down. After hearing this, they began to clear their minds of the complex thoughts.

I began to listen attentively to the sounds echoing through the ancient city of Tongjing.

At this moment, the old snake king's child crawled out of the hall and stood motionless in the same spot.

They were also listening intently.

At this moment, if someone could see the entire ancient city of Gutongjing, they would notice that both the black-haired snake and the nine-headed cypress tree had stopped moving.

Quietly listening to the sounds echoing through the ancient city of Tongjing.

Ten minutes later, the wind gradually subsided, and the music of Gutongjing had just finished its last note.

After the surroundings quieted down, Cheng Feng, Yang Xueli, Chen Wenjin, and the other two women sat back down by the fire.

At this moment, they were all lost in their own world, their minds disturbed by the message conveyed in the music.

At this moment, Cheng Feng was also deep in thought. He heard two pieces of information from the music.

The first piece of information is about immortality; the gist is that a group of people discovered the special properties of the black-haired snake.

Eventually, the entire tribe migrated here, and after many years of research,

They discovered an alternative way to achieve immortality: by utilizing the characteristics of the black-haired snake, they could transfer their memories into its body.

If a new body is available, let the black-haired snake bite the person again, and the memories will be restored in the new body.

The second paragraph is an order: protect the ancient city of Gutongjing and kill anyone who tries to uncover its secrets.

After a long while, Chen Wenjin let out a long sigh and said:

"So far, we have mastered three methods of achieving immortality, but none of them seem to be perfect."

Behind the bronze gate of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling arrived at the first, and original, method of achieving immortality.

That is the human-animal symbiosis method, which involves ultimately cultivating a symbiotic animal.

And they would graft their bodies onto beasts, all of which would be done behind the bronze door.

It grants immortality upon completion, but has a significant drawback: it cannot be located too far from the bronze gate.

Leaving the ultimate sphere of influence means certain death.

Moreover, every so often, one must go inside the bronze gate to replace the beast's body, otherwise, death is inevitable.

Chen Wenjian and Huo Ling abandoned this method of achieving immortality without hesitation.

Having seen what the King of Ten Thousand Slaves looked like, they felt that if it were them, they would rather be dead.

The second method, obtained from Cheng Feng, involved the ingestion of corpse-eating pills in a monk's tomb discovered in Golmud.

Those monks without the meteorite jade turned into blood corpses.

Cheng Feng pointed out the drawback of this method of achieving immortality: the changes over three thousand years were too great.

For example, King Mu of Zhou had only been lying down for a few hundred years when King Shang of Lu, He Tiemiansheng, dug him out to guard the gate.

The third one is the memory-based longevity method that we obtained this time.

This method is even worse; to date, no one has actually succeeded with it.

The only unfinished product, it has developed human thinking but a snake's body.

"Immortality is not so easy. Fortunately, we are still young and have time to find a perfect way to achieve immortality."

Because Ah Xiang was there, Cheng Feng didn't speak openly about it.

All three women knew what was going on. Among them, Yang Xueli glanced at Ah Xiang, and a thought arose in her mind.

But she quickly extinguished it.

Each longevity pill represents a life-or-death struggle Cheng Feng faces against terrifying monsters.

She couldn't bring herself to demand perfection from Cheng Feng, but she secretly planned to delve deeper into these methods of achieving immortality.

While perfect immortality is impossible, one can at least continue living.

"Let's build a research institute when we get back. We have plenty of funds, and we'll use money to get results."

Chen Wenjin suggested.

Huo Ling nodded in agreement; both she and Chen Wenjin had someone they cared about.

However, achieving perfect immortality is too difficult. It would be ideal if we could research a method with only a few minor flaws.

"The equipment issue can be resolved with Lao Cheng and me working together, but we'll have to rely on you guys for the personnel."

Yang Xueli looked at her two sisters who controlled the Xieling faction and spoke.

The two women agreed without hesitation, stating that they could mobilize either the forces of the Unloading Ridge faction or their respective families.

It's not difficult to acquire a group of professionals by spending some connections and money.

"Since you've taken over the entire research institute, then as the head of the family, I'll also offer you some support."

I have Corpse Beetle Pills, and I also have the meteorite jade you need. Black-haired snakes are everywhere here.

As for the bronze door, I suggest you don't touch it. Even now, I wouldn't dare to easily approach anything there.

Cheng Feng's words brought smiles to the faces of the three women.

"Okay, let's listen to Lao Cheng and find a breakthrough from the Corpse Beetle Pill and the Black-haired Snake."

After finalizing the plan, Chen Wenjin began discussing the specific location of the research institute with Yang Xueli and Huo Ling.

While they were having an enthusiastic discussion, Cheng Feng turned his gaze to the black-haired snake beside the main hall.

At this moment, it also snapped out of its daze from the sounds of Gutongjing.

Seeing Cheng Feng looking at it, the snake king's offspring swam its massive body and crawled towards Cheng Feng.

It quickly arrived in front of Cheng Feng, and when its eyes met Cheng Feng's,

A familiar feeling washed over him, and with Cheng Feng's permission, he once again entered the room.

The female form that the black-haired snake transformed into has changed again.

She was wearing a long white dress, and her face was that of a woman Cheng Feng did not recognize.

"How much do you know about the sounds that just came from this city?"

Cheng Feng asked him aloud.

The woman knelt before Cheng Feng, responding obediently:

"We must obey this voice, just as the Snake King commands."

Cheng Feng looked at it in surprise, then asked curiously:

"If that's the case, why did you just let the other snakes leave the main hall? Wasn't that disobeying orders?"

The woman who appeared was expressionless; Cheng Feng could not see any emotion on her face.

"After my mother dies, I will be the next Snake King."

Cheng Feng suddenly realized that this made sense. What command could a snake king with intelligence comparable to that of a human possibly have to absolutely control it?

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the black-haired snake, Cheng Feng decided to leave.

At this moment, the woman in disguise spoke:

"God, please take us away from here and to the outside world."

The woman's words startled Cheng Feng for a moment, then he calmly replied:

"Sure, it's nothing, but are you really sure? The outside world is different from here; you have human memories, you should understand that."

Without the protection of your geography, your clan will likely become a target of public criticism.
