Chapter 504: The World's Affairs
nslate!It turned out that the top-grade magic weapon promised by the sect was not given during the breakthrough, but after the agreed time, it was distributed to all disciples who met the requirements...The shopkeeper frantically used a shovel to dig through the snow.
Under the snow, there was actually a body that had been frozen to death.
"Hurry... hurry and report to the authorities..."
Someone died in front of the store, and the shopkeeper was terrified out of his wits.
The body was lying face down, its arms stretched forward even in death, fingers gripping the ground tightly.
He struggled to crawl forward, fighting for survival, trying to call for help from the shopkeeper, but he was exhausted by the time he got here and froze to death.
It is just a few steps away from the steamed bun shop.
These steps are like a chasm.
The shopkeeper took a deep breath and, gathering his courage, crouched down to wipe the ice and snow off the body. Seeing that the deceased was dressed as a beggar, he whispered, "It's really Old Qi... I said this morning why didn't I see him come over..."
Qin Sang squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and quietly left.
The capital of the ancient country of Gǔyuān.
The Palace.
On a snowy night, the emperor's palace remained brightly lit, emanating warmth.
"Get lost!"
On a snowy night, a furious roar suddenly tore through the silence.
'Bang!'
The tray and the bowl of soup held by the palace maid were pushed away by Gu Yuan, the lord of Gu Yuan nation, who was lying on the dragon bed.
The congee spilled across the floor, its pungent aroma permeating the sleeping quarters.
A palace maid fell to the ground, rolling in a black, murky medicinal soup. Her face was pale, and she trembled as she knelt on the floor.
“I deserve to die!”
>
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
Suddenly, darkness enveloped the ground like a crushing wave.
On the dragon bed, Gu Yuanguo's king tried to get out of bed, lifting the thin quilt off his body. But his frail body could no longer support him. He swayed, luckily caught by a nearby palace maid who quickly steadied him before he fell face-first onto the ground.
The king of Guguan pushed the palace maid away with all his might and tried several times but still couldn't get up.
At this time, the lord of Guyuanguo was disheveled and looked extremely miserable.

He lay on the bed, acting as if he were insane, pointing at a young man in fine clothes lying on the floor and screaming at the top of his lungs.

“Go... go to Xianglong Mountain and invite a Taoist master! As long as... as long as he cures my illness and allows me to live forever, I am willing to cede half the country and share wealth and glory with the Taoist master...”
The young man in brocade is the current Crown Prince of Gu Yuan Nation.
The crown prince crawled to the bedside and whispered, "Father, please don't worry. I'll go to Mount Xiangling at once to plead with the Immortal Master. If he doesn't appear, I'll kneel there until he comes down the mountain and cures your illness..."
“Eternal life! I want eternal life!”
The sovereign of Guyuén fiercely pounded the bed rail, his eyes bloodshot and bulging, staring at the young man with an utterly terrifying expression.
Shaohua Mountain's rule was strict, forbidding cultivators from interfering in mundane affairs.

And the people of Gu Yuan were few, and this country's ruler was not qualified to be seen by the eyes of Shao Hua Shan.
The prince dared not disobey and tried to appease him, saying, "Yes, yes... the child will definitely ask the immortal to bestow the art of immortality..."
"Go now!"
Finally, I managed to calm the king down for a while.
The crown prince and the officials all left the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was gravely ill. The crown prince took over the government. Instead of hurrying to Shaohua Mountain, he returned to his study, dismissed his attendants, and sat motionless on the dragon throne, frowning in thought, without writing a single word.
Just then, there was a creak as the door opened.
The wind moved the candlelight.
A general in armor dashed in, shouting urgently, "Your Highness, are you truly going to follow the Emperor's command and cede half of Guyu Kingdom's territory to this so-called immortal"
The Crown Prince said coldly, "Uncle wants this prince to defy the imperial edict and become an unfilial and disloyal subject"
"I dare not!"
The general strode forward, his imposing figure blocking the candlelight and shrouding the prince's face in shadow.
"The late emperor ruled with filial piety, but it was not foolish filial piety. I just questioned the imperial physician, Your Majesty is sick in the marrow, already incoherent, the imperial physician said this is a kind of hysteria. It so happens that I met a divine doctor while in the mortal realm, this person is used to using wine as medicine, famous in the Jianghu. He is currently staying at my residence. He can concoct a colorless and tasteless medicinal wine that can cure this ailment..."
The general's voice grew lower and lower.
After a long while, the Crown Prince slowly closed his eyes and nodded slightly. "Go," he said.
Late night.
The main hall of the sleeping quarters in the palace of King Guyuon.
An old eunuch rushed in, seemingly terrified by something dreadful. His face was pale with panic and fear. He shoved open the palace door, only to be tripped by the threshold and fall to the ground.
Here's the translation:

"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, wake up!"
"Your Majesty, wake up!"
The old eunuch used his hands and feet to scramble to the edge of the dragon bed, shaking the sleeping King Guyuen vigorously.
The lord of Guyu, awakened from his slumber, still seemed lost in a daze.
The old eunuch cried out, “Your Majesty, be careful! The Crown Prince intends to…”
>
'Pff!'
Suddenly, a sharp sword pierced the eunuch's throat. The blood-stained blade made the King of Gu Yuan tremble in shock, completely sobering him up. Only then did he see clearly that the person who had assassinated the eunuch was his own Prince!

The prince's face, which had always been humble and obedient, was now replaced with a cold indifference.

"Unfilial son!"
The sovereign was furious.
The crown prince dropped the blood sword onto the ground, glanced at the general beside him, and strode out of the sleeping quarters without looking back.
The general seized the ancient Abyssal Nation's king's mouth and forcibly poured the poison in his hand into it.
The poison takes effect.
At the brink of death, the ancient country's king, Gu Yuan, gradually lost his spirit, yet he still couldn't forget.
"Immortality... I want immortality..."
Xianglong Mountain.
The common people dwell in the immortal city before the mountain, and those seeking immortality build huts on the back mountain to reside.
There was a grass hut in the forest, with four places where wind could leak through.
'Bang bang bang...'
"Zuo brother... Zuo brother, are you awake..."
A disheveled man knocked and called, but received no answer.
He slammed it several times, but couldn't break it open, and hurried away.
After a moment, the man called for several helpers. Working together, they rammed the door until it finally burst open.
But then he saw that inside the humble hut, a young man extremely thin and frail sat cross-legged on a straw mat, his head drooping as if he had lost all vitality.
“Left brother is dead!”
The man exclaimed in surprise.

Unexpectedly, a surprising scene occurred.
Their friends, surprisingly, showed no sorrow whatsoever, instead being unusually joyous and surrounding the young man.

Someone said: "Zuo's brother has ascended to heaven!"
Some people say: "Left Brother ate wind and drank dew, interacted with immortals and gods, and finally achieved enlightenment."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Someone said with envy on their face: "Brother Zuo's Dao heart is firm, Heaven and Earth can bear witness, he will surely move Heaven and Earth, be guided by immortals, ascend to the blissful world, and attain immortality."
Amidst the chaotic frenzy, it is perhaps as well to simply let things unfold.

In the darkness, Qin Sang shook his head and returned to Huilong Guan. After a moment's thought, he suddenly withdrew the fog formation of Xianglong Mountain and drifted away.
For countless years, a dense fog had lingered over this place. Suddenly, it dissipated, and an unprecedented phenomenon caused countless immortal seekers to erupt in excitement.
The mist has cleared!
“The immortal opens a mountain to accept disciples!”
"Get to the mountain..."
Hearing the shouts outside the grass hut, the people inside exchanged glances and rushed out.
At this moment, the young man who everyone thought was dead suddenly raised his head, tremblingly stood up, swallowed the snow and climbed to the top of the mountain staggering.
But on the summit, there was only a dilapidated Taoist temple. Where were any immortals
The young man was struck dumb with shock, collapsing to the ground.
Address:t uncommon, but one that happened to form a perfect dwelling was truly a marvel of creation.Saying that, Le Xing said somewhat bashfully, "Senior Qin, my sister and I have an unreasonable request. Whe...
