"Really arrogant! [Can be collected?]"

  A look of disdain flashed across my face, I reached out and pulled down the old man's hand, narrowed my eyes, looking somewhat domineering: "If it's not about money, then there's even less appeal."

  However, the little monkey was staring at the cloth with a few sparks in his eyes. Then, Old Man Yu looked at Qi Xie and said strangely, "Little friend, you're familiar with that kid, ask him what's attractive inside."

  I subconsciously looked towards Qi Xie, only to see his eyes cold and distant, glaring fiercely at Old Man Yu. It seems these two aren't on the same side.

  Are they just business partners?

  Don't ask Qi Xie, it's like asking a white wall, he won't say anything even if you ask him. His personality is simply typical of schizophrenia. Although he usually doesn't make much noise during peaceful times, but sometimes when he talks, he can literally talk people to death. I'd rather die than do something so self-destructive.

  The thin monkey twitched his mouth and asked, "Tell me about it."

  In the more than half an hour that followed, I couldn't hide my shock after hearing what Old Man Yu had to say.

  From ancient times to the present, people of all ages have pursued longevity.

  Whether it was Qin Shi Huang or Sun Wukong, they all yearned to live forever. They ate many elixirs, immortal peaches, human flesh, and performed many bizarre rituals, but none of them succeeded. Living forever has different methods in the Jianghu world; wealthy families rely on accumulating virtues and doing good deeds to achieve immortality, while ordinary people seek redemption through religion and spirituality. Of course, there are also some abnormal individuals who rely on eating certain parts of the human body, such as the Heavenly Mountain Taoist priestess.

  The ancient Egyptian pharaohs even contributed their own corpses as mummies, believing in immortality and that the soul would return one day.

  In ancient times, warriors who went to the battlefield were often deceived. Their generals deceived them by saying that only those who died on the battlefield could go to heaven, otherwise they would go to hell, so the foolish warriors fought to the death.

  What's more interesting is that the Japanese think that Bhikkhuni (a nun) eats mermaid meat as a way to live forever; of course, another part of the Japanese despise this, they think death is normal, so they cherish life more, good times are short-lived, and one should make the most of their youth, don't waste your young years, this was also the view of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the Japanese loving slaughter even more.

  In short, what they are pursuing is actually spiritual immortality and eternal preservation. The thing of longevity is indeed a mystery.

  So, the topic of eternal youth and immortality is one that humans will always be interested in, no matter how times change.

  But the question is, does this world really have an elixir of immortality? Or a method for eternal youth?

  I squinted my eyes, took a closer look at Old Man Yu, and carefully examined him from head to toe. It wasn't until then that I remembered what Little Skinny Monkey had told me - that this old man was already seventy years old. Because he emphasized the importance of nourishing his body, had regular eating habits, and lived a normal life, he didn't look old at all. He looked just like someone in their fifties, and his spirit was particularly good.

  This guy, it seems he wants to live forever, doesn't he?

  The old man seemed to notice my gaze, and estimated that he was a bit proud, then said faintly: "In the average human lifespan, longevity is extended, living to be around 105 or 106."

  Wow, what a big appetite, it's really satisfying one's inner greed.

  Prolonging life and increasing longevity, I'm going to say it, he simply can't bear to part with his wealth.

  From the moment I stepped in, from the first glance at Old Man Yu, I felt this old guy's ambition was burning. Normally, I just do some get-rich-quick schemes, but I've never had any dreams about living forever. Maybe deep down, I knew it was all a scam. This old guy, he really thinks he can live forever? What a joke!

  Daydreaming is not a crime, but it's just a daydream, I didn't expect that someone would actually think of doing such a thing.

  Crazy!

  At this moment, there are only these two words in my mind.

  But what I saw in his eyes was persistence, which can be described as a mental illness.

  I took a glance at Qi Ye, and he looked calm and collected, as if he didn't care at all.

  But why did he get involved?

  What he had retrieved with great difficulty from that tomb at the border of Yunnan and Guizhou, was it for the sake of eternal life?

  Qī xié is what kind of person, I more or less have some understanding, but now doing such a thing, makes me feel like I never knew him.

  Eternal youth is more attractive than money and power for those who are influential and wealthy.

  From ancient times to the present, there have been many people pursuing eternal youth, but nowadays in this 21st century, almost no one is practicing this thing.

  However, Yu Lao and Qi Xie deciphered the contents together, and the location they obtained was actually where the elixir of immortality was hidden.

  I couldn't help but take a deep breath and say, "You need manpower, you need weapons, are you preparing to rob?"

  The old man listened, smiled strangely, his voice a little hoarse, sounding like an eagle flying in the sky calling out non-stop. He said: "Things without an owner can't be related to theft, we just went to let it come out and bask in the sun."

  "What you said is that I'm still young now, and we're not interested in longevity or prolonging our lifespan." Xiao Shou HOU replied immediately, then the old man suddenly pointed to the painful spot of Xiao Shou HOU's words, and his gaze suddenly turned cold.

  The thin monkey got up and took me out of the door.

  Then, Qi Xie also followed us out, both of us looked puzzled and a little afraid that he would regret it, after all, it was him who called us here.

  He didn't pay attention to us, but the old man behind him was staring at us with a gloomy gaze, making my heart feel hairy, as if he wanted to swallow us alive.

  I was taken aback for a moment, could it be that you still want to kill someone?

  "Walk slowly, don't see me off." The old man said in a huff.

  Damn it, after messing around for half a day, this place isn't even Qixia's location.

  Qī Xié this person is mysterious to the extreme, Xiao Shòu Hóu racked his brains but couldn't investigate his background. The auction venue isn't a place ordinary people can enter, and Bai Shǒu Shēng also said that his backing is terrifying.

  Associated with three major families in Changsha and even some scattered old nine clans, there is a bit of a relationship. Just these few big families are enough to make people admire.

  In the end, I still held back from running up to ask Qi Xie about the things that had been troubling me all along. After some thought, it was better not to ask anyway. Since we've already decided to reintegrate into society, let's just forget about those matters.

  That night, I turned off the lights and was about to rest when Xiao Shou Hou burst in.

  "What the hell are you doing in my room?" I quickly pulled the quilt tightly over me, watching him warily.

  "Hurry up and get up." The thin monkey was serious.

  "What's wrong?" I still covered myself with the quilt.

  "I have something to discuss with you."

  What could be going on at this late hour?

  What could be going on in the middle of the night?

  "I thought for a moment and said, 'Didn't I already give you all the money? What else is there to say.'"

  The thin monkey let out a shrill cry, his face as black as iron, staring at me. Finally, he seemed to think of something, his expression softened, and he closed the door, with a sneaky look on his face. He then leaned in close to me, lowering his voice, saying: "Brother, we're good buddies, right?"

  As soon as I heard his tone, I felt something was off. When did you ever consider me a buddy? This tone is like digging a pit for me to jump into, but I'm not that stupid. So I shook my head and said, "I don't think so, we're not really that familiar."

  The thin monkey choked for a moment, gritted his teeth for a while, and then said: "Not familiar? Not familiar with you, you've been relying on my family's face, eating and drinking for free for so many days? Alright, now get out of here." While saying this, he pushed me out.

  "Hey, I'm still wearing pajamas, if I go out like this I'll be taken for a vagrant." I said: "What's up, just kidding with you."

  The public security in Beijing is so good that it's easy to be caught as a mentally ill person running naked.

  The thin monkey's complexion improved a bit, as if he had thought of something, went to close the door, with a cautious appearance, and then whispered in my ear: "What do you think about today's events?"

  I thought for a moment and said, "It's pretty good, you've also divided so much money, you should be content. Now I, the young master, have successfully gotten rid of the silk..."

  "Bang..."

  The thin monkey slapped over and scolded: "Who told you about this matter? This little money, I don't think it's worth mentioning."

  Wow, I couldn't help but think that you were originally a high-rich-handsome guy, with such a big family business and so much power, how could you possibly care about a few million?

  "What was that all about?" I asked subconsciously.

  "Damn it, don't pretend to be stupid with me, that kid said something." Xiao Shou Hou let out a loud shout, looking like he wanted to beat someone up.

  I knew he was referring to what happened during the day, and my heart sank. I immediately said, "Don't say you're thinking of living forever."

  "Do I look like that old man to you? New humans of the 21st century would never believe in such superstitions." The thin monkey scrunched up his eyebrows, looking very displeased.

  "What else can you say?" I was confused, bursting in at midnight just to say he didn't believe in the elixir of immortality.

  "I'm saying, just the two of us, sneak out quietly." The little monkey's head tilted to one side, with a sly glint in his eyes.

  "No interest, why go? Even if we want to go, but, don't even know the address, can't go anyway." My concern is here, and looking at Qi Xie finding Xiao Shou Hou buying ammunition, that place must be a place where guns are fired casually, such a dangerous place, isn't it scary enough?"

  "Have you forgotten about the wasp on your body?" The little monkey's face suddenly turned cold.
