Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!

Chapter 64 – Deciphering the Heaven-Mending Ointment, Chen Changsheng has run away

Chen Changsheng exchanged a few pleasantries with Old Yao before they both entered the thatched cottage.

Looking at the translated prescription on the table, Chen Changsheng felt a surge of excitement.

Back in the Ten Thousand Mountains, he had tried every possible method but couldn't decipher the complete Heaven-Mending Ointment.

After leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains, Chen Changsheng naturally didn't give up on deciphering the Heaven-Mending Ointment.

By a stroke of luck, he met Old Yao, the Medicine Immortal of Butterfly Valley.

Chen Changsheng was a master of alchemy, while Old Yao was a highly skilled healer.

Though their paths of study differed, they shared some common ground.

Through his exchanges with Old Yao, Chen Changsheng finally understood why he could never crack the Heaven-Mending Ointment.

It was because the Heaven-Mending Ointment was not a pill recipe at all, but a medicinal prescription.

Alchemists excel at refining pills, which can enhance cultivation, strengthen the body, and heal injuries.

However, the path of alchemy focuses on enhancing cultivation, and in terms of healing, it falls short compared to healers.

Healers not only use medicines to heal and treat cultivators but also employ various techniques, which is something alchemists aren't as adept at.

"Who would have thought the ingredients for the Heaven-Mending Ointment would be so simple? It's truly surprising."

After browsing through the prescription for the Heaven-Mending Ointment, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but express his amazement.

Old Yao stroked his beard and said, "To enhance cultivation, one must use precious spiritual herbs."

"Because those precious spiritual herbs contain immense energy."

"But for healing, sometimes ordinary herbs are more effective than spiritual ones."

"The predecessor who created the Heaven-Mending Ointment, using these common herbs to refine a life-saving medicine, had a talent that was truly unparalleled."

Hearing Old Yao's words, Chen Changsheng put away the jade slip and the translated prescription.

"You translated the prescription for the Heaven-Mending Ointment, so you should remember it all by heart."

"As a friend, I advise you, even if you can refine the Heaven-Mending Ointment, don't let it be known for a hundred years."

"Kunlun Sacred Ground is planning to explore the Sacred Ruins, and many have already died recently."

"If they find out you have the Heaven-Mending Ointment, you'll face endless trouble."

Upon hearing this, Old Yao looked at Chen Changsheng and smiled, "Are you leaving?"

"In the next few days, I had planned to use the teleportation array of Kunlun Sacred Ground, but given the current situation, I'll have to walk."

"The Western Continent, Eastern Wasteland, Northern Desert, Southern Plains, Central Court—I never knew the world was so vast."

"Walking from the Central Court to the Eastern Wasteland, who knows how many hundreds of years it will take."

Facing Chen Changsheng's complaints, Old Yao chuckled and took out a jade slip from his pocket, handing it over.

"Since you're leaving, let me give you a gift."

"Consider it a return gift for the Heaven-Mending Ointment."

After checking the contents of the jade slip, Chen Changsheng looked at Old Yao with curiosity.

"You've given me all your life's knowledge. Are you trying to take me as your disciple?"

"That won't do. I don't want to take a master right now."

"With your abilities, Chen Changsheng, I'd be more suited to be your disciple. How could I dare take you as one?"

"I have yet to find a successor for my medical skills, and with the impending chaos, I'm not sure if I can make it out unscathed."

"If I can't pass on my legacy, I might need your help then."

"Find someone destined and give them the jade slip."

After hearing Old Yao's request, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, it's not a troublesome matter."

"If I meet someone destined, I'll give it to them, but it's better if you find a successor yourself."

With that, Chen Changsheng turned and left Butterfly Valley.

Watching Chen Changsheng's carefree figure, Old Yao smiled and then turned back to his thatched cottage.

...

Chen Changsheng left, taking Mun with him from the place they had lived for forty years.

Upon learning of Chen Changsheng's departure, two people were most agitated.

One of them was Jiang Bufan, the prospective Holy Son of Kunlun Sacred Ground.

"Ungrateful!"

"Chen Changsheng, don't let me run into you again, or I, Jiang Bufan, will make you regret it!"

In his anger, Jiang Bufan smashed everything in the room to pieces, also holding a grudge against Li, who was associated with Chen Changsheng.

...

In front of the coffin shop.

A figure stood silently before the empty shop, murmuring to himself.

"Teacher, have you really abandoned Li?"

"Did Li do something wrong?"

After a long while, Li left the coffin shop.

From this moment, the young witch from the Ten Thousand Mountains began to grow.

It was also from this moment that he learned to face things alone.

But that figure remained deeply etched in his heart.

...

Three thousand miles away.

Chen Changsheng and Mun appeared atop a mountain peak.

Seeing that they had left the range of Kunlun Sacred Ground, Chen Changsheng no longer used the teleportation array.

"Brother Changsheng, are we going back to your hometown now?"

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked up and thought for a moment, then said, "It's sort of my hometown. The Eastern Wasteland holds many memories for me."

"Staying there feels somewhat like home."

"And it's a good opportunity for us to see the vastness of the world."

Listening to Chen Changsheng, Mun held onto his arm and softly said, "As long as I can be by Brother Changsheng's side, I'll go anywhere."

Though Mun's words were filled with sweetness, there was a hint of sadness in her tone.

Back then, Chen Changsheng said everyone could foresee the future.

Mun didn't fully understand what Chen Changsheng meant, nor could she fully grasp his feelings.

But as time passed, Mun understood.

As a cultivator's cultivation grows, so does their lifespan.

The lifespan of someone in the Qi Refining stage is the same as a mortal's, while the Foundation Establishment Realm grants two hundred years, the Golden Elixir five hundred years, and the Elemental Infant eight hundred years.

The lifespan in the Divine Transformation stage even surpasses a thousand years.

These times are long for anyone.

But even a thousand years is just a fleeting second in Brother Changsheng's life.

Mun didn't have Li's talent for cultivation, and even with Brother Changsheng's efforts, she could only reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This was the future Brother Changsheng could foresee—she couldn't accompany him forever.

Thinking of this, Mun buried these feelings deep in her heart and said with a bright smile.

"Brother Changsheng, this time you have to take me to have some fun."

"I've been your assistant and maid for forty years."

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "No problem."

"I'll show you the world's splendor, and take you to see the sunrise and sunset. Wherever you want to go, I'll take you."
