Chapter 182: Chapter 131: Deep Affection and Righteousness, Xiaoniu’s Resolve

He also ordered a pot of High-Grade Immortal Spirit Wine worth one Spirit Stone.

"You are as elegant as ever, Mr. Chen. Even my face has started to show wrinkles," Yun Xiaoniu sighed as he looked at Chen Jianghe’s seemingly unchanging face.

"Exactly! My eldest has gotten wrinkles, and I’m already a grandfather. How do you still look like a young man, Jianghe?" Yu Daniu asked in surprise.

The last time they met, Chen Jianghe had a stroke of luck and consumed a Youthful Grass. But ten years had passed; the effects of the Youthful Grass should have faded by now! Even if he didn’t look visibly aged like Yu Daniu, he should have at least some wrinkles. Yet this face was still as smooth as it had been in his twenties.

"Do you remember Alchemist Zhuang? I got a stalk of Youthful Grass from Fairy Peiyao and asked Alchemist Zhuang to handle the Refining of a batch of Youthful Pills."

"A Youthful Pill!" Yu Daniu and Yun Xiaoniu were both startled, the confusion in their eyes vanishing. They naturally knew of the miraculous effects of the Youthful Pill. Once consumed, it would forever freeze one’s appearance at the exact moment the pill was taken.

"Three pills were successfully refined in total. Alchemist Zhuang kept one, and I took one. I originally sent the last one to Fairy Peiyao, but she didn’t accept it," Chen Jianghe said, taking out a jade box and handing it to Yu Daniu.

"What’s this, Jianghe?"

"A Youthful Pill. For you," Chen Jianghe said with an affable smile, his eyes revealing a profound sense of brotherhood.

Yu Daniu took the Youthful Pill and opened the box to take a look. He sighed emotionally and clicked his tongue in wonder, but ultimately let out a heavy sigh and pushed the Youthful Pill back to Chen Jianghe.

"If only I had gotten this Youthful Pill twenty years ago. Then Huizhen could have maintained her youth forever. Alas."

Hearing this, Chen Jianghe inwardly sighed at how deep Yu Daniu’s feelings for Yun Huizhen were. But it was only right. Yun Huizhen’s feelings for Yu Daniu were equally deep. She had never treated him like a live-in son-in-law, but respected him fully as her husband.

"Xiaoniu, take it." Chen Jianghe looked at Yun Xiaoniu and pushed the Youthful Pill toward him. He wasn’t just putting on an act; he genuinely wanted to give the Youthful Pill to Yu Daniu’s family.

For him, there was absolutely no need to take a Youthful Pill. He had a lifespan of three hundred and sixty years and wouldn’t start showing signs of aging until he was over two hundred. But in a while, once Little Black’s Cultivation reached Tier Two, his maximum lifespan would skyrocket once again. Therefore, there was no need to worry about aging at all. Moreover, as long as Yu Daniu and Yun Xiaoniu kept this Youthful Pill a secret, he could easily put the pill in his hands up for sale.

"I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Chen." Yun Xiaoniu was stunned to see Chen Jianghe push the Youthful Pill toward him. His heart trembled slightly. He had heard about the astronomical price a Youthful Pill fetched at the auction in the Qinghe Marketplace. To think Mr. Chen would just hand it over to him so casually.

At this moment, he finally understood just how deep the brotherhood between his father and Mr. Chen really was. He also finally understood why Yu Daniu would write to Chen Jianghe to pour out his heart whenever something frustrating happened in the family. And when there were happy occasions, he would write to him to brag.

"My goal is Foundation Establishment. If I fail to reach Foundation Establishment, then as a man of the family, eternal youth is useless.

"If I succeed in Foundation Establishment, I’ll enjoy a lifespan of two hundred and twenty years, meaning I’ll have a hundred and fifty years of youth anyway. Why would I need to seek a Youthful Appearance?"

Yun Xiaoniu bowed respectfully, politely declining Chen Jianghe’s Youthful Pill. His words were sincere, every syllable revealing his determination to break through to Foundation Establishment.

"Good boy! You have ambition. That is exactly how we Cultivators should be!" Chen Jianghe nodded heavily, thoroughly approving of Yun Xiaoniu’s words.

Then, he took back the Youthful Pill.
