Since Peng Boshou heard what Shen Lian had said, he did not beat around the bush and he told Shen Lian everything.

Although he had taken the immortal spiritual medicine and he could be immortal. He did not even have to go through the trial of Dao. Nonetheless, it was not compulsory that he would not die.

In actual fact, not only him, even if one was trained to the state of Taiyi, it was not necessary that he would be eternal. There were definitely trials of death which could trap them in dire straits.

Upon encountering these trials of death, what mattered the most would be their attainment, plots, and whether they had valuables or unexpected help. A lot of things were to be prepared and plan. However, the most crucial thing was to be able to predict in advance so that there would be a chance to turn things around.

Peng Boshou had spent his thousand years of power to realize the cause of his trial of death. It was all because the immortal spiritual medicine which he had taken was transformed from the origin of a star which was the Southern Dipper Tian Liang Star. The owner of this star was in charge of longevity and thus Peng Boshou could be immortal after he had taken the exotic fruit transformed from the origin of the star.

There were a few other types of immortal spiritual medicine similar to this in the world, but the worse thing was that the immortal spiritual medicine that Peng Boshou had taken was originated from the star. It was an extraordinarily rare treasure for the Qi cultivators who trained the Dao of the Stars.

What Wuding from Yinshang trained was exactly the exquisite martial exercise from the Dao of the Stars – Flying Stars Incantation. This was because he had the fate as a King in his birth chart, destined as a King. The Flying Stars Incantation would eventually be at its peak in his hands. However, there was a trial of deteriorating life in Wuding. In the end, he would need the spiritual medicine to get through it. There was no other spiritual medicine in this world that could be more suitable for Wuding other than the origin of Tian Liang Star on Ancestor Peng.

Therefore, once Peng Boshou realized this, he was restless all day and he had even pried into Wuding one month ago. Little did he expect that Wuding was also a Qi cultivator of the master level. His mana was even stronger than any ordinary land immortal. The Flying Stars Incantation that Wuding had been training reached the entering path of Daoism. Due to the innate spirituality within the Flying Stars Incantation, there was an embryonic form of the star owners which had the power to inspire the origin of Tian Liang Star within Peng Boshou’s body. Regardless of how strong Peng Boshou’s mana was, he was innately restrained by Wuding, not to mention that there would be people who were of powerful characters secretly protecting Wuding by his side. Besides, he had even met a top Qi cultivator who was riding on a black Qilin which was unfathomable and there was already a third eye grown on his glabella.

He almost left a trail behind that day. Later on, he went around to ask and finally realized that the person was Yinshang’s Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong, who was also Wuding’s master. Due to the fact that Peng Boshou had been living for so long, he had a lot of private friends who led him to know about Wen Zhong’s background. The fact that he was actually descendant of the Lady Mother of Chariot had startled Peng Boshou. Hence, Peng Boshou did not dare to mess with him further.

Nevertheless, he knew that even if he did not provoke Wuding on purpose, sooner or later, he would fall into Wuding’s hands. This was a knot that could not be untied and there was no escape from this.

Unless he did not want the origin of Tian Liang Star in his body anymore and he wanted to get rid of the power of immortal spirituality medicine. However, this would be no different from committing suicide.

Therefore, there was only one way to solve this critical situation, which was to find out the technique to break the Flying Stars Incantation and kill Wuding to spare all the later trouble then fled to the Asura Blood Sea as the Blood Sea was one of the few places that the Lady Mother of Chariot would not go. This was known by very few people, and Peng Boshou was one of them.

Moreover, he knew that people like the Lady Mother of Chariot were almost invincible in the Netherworld. Nonetheless, she was subjected to restrictions and thus she could not recklessly intervene in the mortal’s issues.

As for why Peng Boshou would want to beg Shen Lian was because Shen Lian was one of the few celestials who had peeked on the particulars of the Flying Stars Incantation before. With Shen Lian’s eyesight and state, he would definitely have a remarkable understanding of the Flying Stars Incantation. Thus, Peng Boshou would want to understand about the particulars of the Flying Stars Incantation from him.

Upon listening to Peng Boshou, Shen Lian could not help but wonder about the mystery of fate in this world. In the end, fate could link the two irrelevant people due to an unexpected encounter.

He told Peng Boshou, “Uncle Peng, it’s not that I’m not willing to help you but the Flying Stars Incantation is equipped with self-development method. Hence, even if there was any loophole in the past, I’m not sure if it still exists now and it is unpredictable. Moreover, you’re already restrained by the Flying Stars Incantation at the first place.”

“I’d be truly grateful as long as State Preceptor can tell me everything you know about it. Anything that I can do for you, or you can have any treasure that you want. State Preceptor, please believe that Peng Boshou is sincere,” Peng Boshou noticed that Shen Lian had the intention to reject him and thus he could not help but feel slightly anxious.

In the beginning, when he looked for Shen Lian he was looking forward to some hope, but when he finally met Shen Lian, he had no more doubt because he could clearly feel how profound Shen Lian’s state was. In this world, the existence of such people was only very few. He had seen Si Wenming when he was young, and Si Wenming was not significantly stronger than the present Shen Lian.

Moreover, even if Shen Lian did not have the technique to solve this, it would already give him a significant help. Peng Boshou would not be careless when facing issues regarding his life.

In fact, after all, the reason why he could be immortal was because of his unexpected counter. There was definitely no one Qi cultivator in this world that could take the sufferings while cultivating like the land immortals. As much as one’s mana was profound, or even better than the ordinary land immortals and that his supernatural power could be immense, there would be inadequacy in his mind after all.

Regarding improvement on one’s mind, it could not be made up as years passed by. What was worse was that Peng Boshou had cultivated another unusually demonic secret method to find out the cause of his trial of death, and that had significantly affected his mind.

Shen Lian stared at Peng Boshou while saying, “Uncle Peng, from what I think, your misfortunate trial will only arrive a hundred years later. Instead of thinking of how to deal with Wuding’s Flying Stars Incantation, why don’t you think of ways to get rid of restraint from the immortal spiritual medicine? It has been restricting you.”

Peng Boshou sounded displeased and offended, “Looks like State Preceptor has a really good relationship with Wuding. If you don’t feel like helping me, it’s alright. Why do you have to find all sorts of excuses to decline and sound so dissatisfied?”

Shen Lian sighed and said, “We’ve cultivated up to this point, why do I have to be hypocritical to you? Uncle Peng, you’re also a Qi cultivator that’s been cultivating for a very long time, and yet you can’t control your own emotions. Don’t tell me that you didn’t realize this isn’t normal?”

“What’s wrong with having human emotions when they’re of human nature? Is it because State Preceptor is at a more profound state so you look down on me?” There was slight anger in Peng Boshou’s tone.

Shen Lian said, “Since Uncle Peng had such prejudice, there’s nothing more we can say. I shall gift this wine to Uncle Peng as means of courtesy.”

When Peng Boshou’s bamboo crutched hit the surface of the floor, Qing Xuan Cave wobbled instantly. It was followed by the shattering of the canteen, and the wine was spilled on the table. However, Shen Lian did not stop him when he witnessed Peng Boshou transformed into a white ray and left Qing Xuan Cave.

The black tiger scolded and said, “This old man really doesn’t know who he’s messing with.”

Shen Lian had been staring at the outside of the cave for some time then only he responded, “There’s an unusual demonic vital force hidden within him. If it wasn’t because he raged, I couldn’t discover that.”

The black tiger asked with curiosity, “What malicious Qi could actually bother master?”

“There’s a familiar smell. Forget about it. Since he’s been living for so long, it can’t be easy. This time I’ll just let him go,” Shen Lian waved his hand, the shattered canteen turned into clay which blended into the surface of the floor.
