[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Third Stage Life-Extending Pill!]
[The reward has been distributed to the System Space, and the host can check it at any time]
An image of a pill emerged from the big wheel, accompanied by a system notification sound.
“Life-Extending Pill?”
Lu Changsheng furrowed his eyebrows upon seeing the reward.
He was, of course, aware of what Life-Extending Pills were.
They were a type of elixir medicine that was extremely rare in the Cultivation World.
As the name suggested, they could extend one’s lifespan after consumption.
A First Grade Life-Extending Pill could extend life by five to ten years.
A Second Rank Life-Extending Pill could extend life by ten to twenty years.
A Third Stage Life-Extending Pill could extend life by thirty to fifty years.
The reason for such a large variance in life extension was partly due to the quality of the elixir medicine.
Another factor was based on the physical condition of the user.
For an elderly person who had already exhausted their potential, even if they took a Life-Extending Pill, the effect would be significantly less.
After all, a Life-Extending Pill just extends life.
It’s not a resuscitation or life-renewing elixir medicine.
“I’m still young with a long life ahead of me. Getting such a pill really feels like a bit of a white elephant.”
“But no matter, who would complain about too much life? If I have a long life, it also reminds me to take things steadily. I don’t have much, but I have time, and plenty of days ahead.”
Although Life-Extending Pills were rare and precious, Lu Changsheng didn’t feel too excited about this reward.
After all, compared to the other items he had drawn, the Life-Extending Pill seemed somewhat insignificant.
Then, Lu Changsheng looked at the Third Stage Life-Extending Pill in the System Space.
[Elixir Medicine: Life-Extending Pill]
[Quality: Third Stage]
[Description: After consumption, one’s lifespan can be increased by thirty to fifty years. Only the first pill of the same rank is effective]
“As expected, it’s the same as I know it to be. Even if it’s a system product, there can’t be too much of a difference.”
“That said, if I were to sell this Life-Extending Pill, couldn’t it fetch tens of thousands of Spirit Stones at least?”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the pill.
But that was just a thought.
Life-Extending Pills were extremely rare,
and essentially priceless.
They could usually only be seen in auctions.
And even there, what were often available were First and Second Rank Life-Extending Pills.
Lu Changsheng had never heard of a Third Stage Life-Extending Pill being sold anywhere.
So, even if he wanted to sell it, it would be difficult and not without fear of attracting trouble.
“Retrieve!”
Lu Changsheng extracted the pill from the System Space.
Instantly,
a brownish-green pill that was lustrous, full, and exuded a rich scent of life appeared in front of Lu Changsheng.
There were also faint silver patterns on the pill.
“So this is a Life-Extending Pill.”
Lu Changsheng examined the pill in his hand.
It was his first time seeing one.
It didn’t look particularly special.
But the presence of the pill patterns on it let him know that this was a top-quality Life-Extending Pill.
Because only elixir medicines of excellent quality would have pill patterns.
The more pill patterns there were, the better the quality of the elixir medicine and the less elixir toxicity it contained.
This Life-Extending Pill had three pill patterns, signifying it was among the top-tier of medicines.
It could only be said that System Space products were certainly of fine quality.
Guaranteed in quality, they instilled confidence in those who consumed them.
Without looking further, Lu Changsheng swallowed the Life-Extending Pill.
The taste of the pill wasn’t particularly pleasant. As he swallowed it, it transformed into an immensely pure and abundant vitality that spread within Lu Changsheng.
It filled him with so much energy and vitality that he felt an inexhaustible strength.
At the same time, it brought an indescribably soothing comfort throughout his body, making him let out an involuntary sigh of relief.
This medicinal power diffused within Lu Changsheng, washing over his flesh, meridians, bones, Dantian, rejuvenating every part of him, causing his body to shine with Spiritual Light.
As if it was brimming with new life.
For a long while.
The effects of the Life-Extending Pill dissipated.
“Whew!”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and let out a long, eased breath.
He just felt full of energy, invigorated to his core, refreshed and like he had been reborn.
“Does this Life-Extending Pill also revitalise and strengthen the body besides extending life?”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised by the effects of the pill.
He had been practicing the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, making his physical body naturally extraordinary.
But the recent Life-Extending Pill had indeed made his body feel relaxed and rejuvenated, as if reborn.
“Could it be that I’ve overindulged over the years, incurring deficits and damaging my lifespan?”
“Or does an increase in lifespan naturally bring about a richer vitality and more abundant energy?”
Lu Changsheng pondered internally, unclear about the exact reason.
After all, the physical body is one thing, and lifespan is another.
He didn’t dwell on it too long, knowing it to be a good thing for him.
He then closed his eyes to sense the changes to his lifespan.
“My lifespan, has it increased by fifty years?”
Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.
He had no way to be sure of the exact number of years his lifespan had increased.
But he had a vague sense that his lifespan had been extended by fifty years.
This intuition was quite mysterious; he couldn’t really explain it himself.
“Cultivators at the Qi Refinement Realm, as long as they don’t engage in conflict and maintain their health well, can generally live past a hundred years.”
“If one breaks through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage, they can live for a couple of ‘jiazi,’ that’s around one hundred and twenty years.”
“As for someone like me, who never fights with others and knows how to maintain health, living to one hundred and twenty should be a breeze.”
“Now, with this Life-Extending Pill adding fifty years to my life, it means I could live up to one hundred seventy years, almost the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.”
“If in the future, I get another First Grade and Second Rank Life-Extending Pill, wouldn’t I be able to live up to two hundred years, on par with a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.”
“No, by then I will have achieved Foundation Establishment myself and with the help of Life-Extending Pills, could live for three hundred years!”
