Chapter 1337 The Effects of the Elixir of Immortality
"Let's pay the taxes first!" Ye Qing said.
Gerong nodded.
The two returned to the first floor. Ye Qing had obtained a total of over 110 million in taxes this time, though it was a miscellaneous collection.
Those seventh-grade items would conservatively cost one million, so Ye Qing paid quite a lot this time.
Of the money Ye Qing paid, Gerong would receive one-tenth!
As a trainee housekeeper at Yongle City, he practically made a fortune.
At that moment, he was completely stunned.
Just as they finished paying and came out, the manager of Yongle Casino in Jiuxuan City approached them and said, "Mr. Winner, Yongle Dasheng invites you!"
Ye Qing glanced at Ling Tian, then nodded and said, "Please lead the way!"
After saying that, he looked at Gerong and said, "That's enough for today!"
Gerong nodded quickly and said, "Okay, sir, please feel free to contact me if you need anything."
Ling Tian looked at Gerong and said, "You're not bad, you're promoted to a third-level manager!"
Gerong's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said, "Thank you, City Lord!"
Ye Qing didn't think much of it. He followed Ling Tian to the seventh floor, and after walking for a while, they arrived at a large door. Ling Tian said to Ye Qing, "Mr. Ying, the Great Sage is waiting for you in the room!"
After saying that, Ling Tian left on his own.
After Ling Tian left, the door to the room opened automatically.
Ye Qing and Chen Xuan exchanged a glance, and then the two went into the room.
"call out!"
Just then, a large yellow dog pounced on Ye Qing, knocking him to the ground and yelling, "Boy, quickly bring out the Elixir of Immortality and the Holy Rice so I can take a look!"
Ye Qing suddenly exerted force with his right hand, throwing the big yellow dog away. Then he looked at the Great Sage Yongle not far away and said, "Greetings, Great Sage!"
The Great Sage Yongle sat there with a smile, patting his round belly with one hand and said, "Indeed, a young prodigy. Besides his rapid progress in martial arts, reaching the level of a Domain Lord at such a young age, and being a Domain Lord who cultivates both Dao and body, his stone-cutting technique has also made considerable progress!"
"Just lucky!" Ye Qing said with a wry smile.
"It's really good luck. This elixir of immortality... even if Zhang Tianlin were here, he might not be able to find it. This thing is extremely rare and hard to come by, and yet you, little guy, just happened to find it!" The Great Sage Yongle smiled and said, "Little guy, name your price. I want this elixir of immortality!"
Ye Qing's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Senior is being a bit unfair!"
"Oh?" asked the Great Sage Yongle. "How exactly is this an unkind method?"
“If you wanted this elixir of immortality, you could have just said you wanted to buy it earlier. If you wanted to take it, I wouldn’t have been able to resist!” Ye Qing said. “But you chose to give it to me first, and then say you wanted to buy it here, so that the world would see that I took the elixir of immortality. When the Heavenly Court investigates, they will only know that I took the elixir of immortality. If you betray me, the Heavenly Court’s pursuit and interception of me will probably increase to another level.”
"The Heavenly Court was never going to let you live anyway!" The Great Sage Yongle smiled and said, "I don't care about adding one more thing!"
Ye Qing: "..."
"But don't worry!" said the Great Sage Yongle. "Your identity will not be exposed. I will announce to the world that I am buying the elixir of immortality from you. Your identity in Yongle City will also be erased by me. No one will know that you are Ye Qing!"
At this moment, the big yellow dog got up from the side and chuckled, "To be honest, I really can't give you this thing!"
Yongle Dasheng squinted and said, "Are you sure you want to bring it yourself?"
"Don't think I don't know what your purpose is in taking this elixir of immortality!" the big yellow dog said. "You want to use this elixir of immortality to bring back the Lord of Taixi, right?"
The Great Sage Yongle nodded and said, "That's exactly right!"
"Firstly, you don't know where the physical body of the Lord of Taixi is!"
"Secondly, even if you knew, this elixir of immortality wouldn't have such an effect!" the big yellow dog said. "Those are just legends. What elixir of immortality can reshape a soul and bring back an emperor? Where in this universe is there such a heaven-defying object! The elixir of immortality may be good, but its function is not that!"
The Great Sage Yongle looked at the big yellow dog, his smile vanished, and he said, "So... this elixir of immortality can't bring back the Lord of Taixi?"
"It's highly unlikely that you can restore the glory of the Taiyun Galaxy and revive the Lord of Taixi with the elixir of immortality," the big yellow dog said. "Moreover, is it possible that the Lord of Taixi is not dead at all?"
"Hmm?" Yongle Dasheng's pupils contracted. "Old dog, what do you mean by that?"
The big yellow dog glanced at Ye Qing, then at Chen Xuan beside him, and sighed, "Look, this Taiyun is lingering in the Taiyun star system for so long. Is it possible that the Lord of Taixi is not dead at all?"
"Explain yourself more clearly!" Yongle the Great Sage gritted his teeth.
“You’re one of the longer-lived beings in this universe!” the big yellow dog said. “You know a little about that period of history. Back then… when chaos struck, they chose two paths, or rather, they had a plan from the very beginning!”
"Jing and Zulong fought desperately with the Chaotic Star Sea, while the Lord of Taixi and Yin, one chose to pass away peacefully, and the other completely succumbed to corruption!" the big yellow dog said. "Their characteristics did not dissipate, but exist in this universe in another form, waiting to awaken at some point!"
The big yellow dog said, "This world and the universe are a game of chess, a game that you will never be able to see through with your limited perspective and vision. Compared to these things, you should think about how to break through to the Great Emperor realm!"
Yongle the Great Sage was stunned. He looked at the big yellow dog and said, "I will only ask two questions, and after that I will not say anything more!"
“You say it!” the big yellow dog said.
"The first question is, what exactly is the effect of the elixir of immortality?" asked the Great Sage Yongle.
"Literal meaning!" said the big yellow dog.
Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Yongle's expression changed slightly.
Ye Qing and Chen Xuan, standing nearby, couldn't quite understand what they were hearing.
“Then…” Yongle Great Sage took a deep breath and said, “Do you think I… can break through to the Great Emperor level? I have no unique characteristics, nor any authority, so how can I break through?”
