"Another thirty years of life"

Li Chen expressed shock because no one had ever told him before that this thing was like a fairy pill and could actually increase lifespan.

Whether in past lives or this one, Li Chen's upbringing with a materialistic education has always led him to reject the belief that such outrageous and unbelievable things exist.

Isn't pursuing these things the same as Qin Shi Huang's pursuit of immortality

But in today's world, a terrestrial immortal realm could already achieve the legendary feats of moving mountains and filling seas. Adding something that increases lifespan doesn't seem so outlandish either.

For example, there's this old monster from the East Asian land who's supposedly the strongest in the realm of immortals. They say he's lived for over 150 years and can still fight—how do you explain that

Besides, Jian Xin probably doesn't need to lie to herself.

Of course.

Jian Xin said softly, "You don't know how precious this relic is. I can assure you that if used properly, it can grant you thirty years of life extension. Now, do you still need to reconsider"

"No, thank you."

Li Chen was only slightly surprised before waving his hand and saying, "Save Gong Huiyu."

Jian Xin narrowed her eyes slightly and gave Li Chen a long, hard look.

Li Chen's choice surprised him a little.

Originally, I thought Li Chen would regret it and even do more extreme things.

After all, the higher their position and power, the more they fear death. Their demise is far too tragic compared to that of ordinary people.

Speaking of high rank and authority, in this Great Qin Empire, besides the emperor who might die at any moment, who else could be more powerful than Li Chen

Although he was still nominally the prince, he had long since been exercising imperial power.

But Li Chen endured it, even ignoring the temptation.

This surprised Jianxin, who had always thought that Li Chen was extremely selfish, ambitious, realistic, and ruthless.

"This thing also benefits me greatly, even if I can't inherit the power within it. It helps me study Buddhist techniques. It's normal to take a big step forward in the realm of Earth Immortal with this help. Aren't you afraid that I'll hoard it Now, I can fully use it to rob and kill." Jianxin said again.

"Are you done yet"

Li Chen was getting impatient.

“If you want to take the treasure, just kill! I underestimated your character. Even if it cost you your life, that wouldn’t matter to you, but the price you pay will be even greater. I guarantee you this: as soon as I die, the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops who are currently facing the Liao army will immediately march south and wipe out all White Lotus sects in Gansu and Shaanxi. Then, throughout the country, the imperial army will fight the White Lotus sect until one side is completely eradicated.”

"After me, whoever wants to sit in this position must first show the people their justice by avenging me. And wiping out the White Lotus Sect is beneficial without any harm for anyone who might inherit my position."

“I lost my life, plus a relic, but you lost your sister and the White Lotus Sect's centuries-old foundation. You gained nothing but a further step forward, after which all you see is an enemy. The reward offered by the imperial court would be enough to tempt even Earth Immortal realm cultivators...”

"To be frank, if I had nothing up my sleeve, how do you think I managed to kill Jue'an and refine him into this relic And how could I have dared to come here alone Even if you took another step forward, could you possibly contend with the one who can melt Jue'an into a relic in an instant"d, forcing down the storm within him. As the chief minister's most trusted spy, he had provided Zhao Xuanji with countless pieces of information over the past decade. Even when the emperor collapsed a...
