Capítulo 951: Chapter 559: Even if He’s a Nascent Soul, He Must Die Today!

Xue Yongjun, the second-in-command of the military, had a dazzlingly red background.

He was one of those founding heroes of the nation.

At rest with the country.

Xue Yongjun did not betray this trust, dedicating his lifetime efforts to the military.

Now frail and sickly, it was because of these years he personally dealt with frontline matters, leading to ailments…

Domestically, he was still considered a person with a very upright reputation; although past deeds have not yet been fully concluded, the pulse of the times certainly includes the figure of this diligent elder.

Yang Genshuo indeed admired Elder Xue’s pragmatic old-school style of thinking and ideals in action.

So after much consideration, he finally decided to make use of Elder Xue this one time.

The benefits of this usage… were what the elites of the world could not ask for enough.

Hearing Yang Genshuo’s words, Elder Xue wept silently, as if he had finally awaited the moment he had long yearned for in his dreams…

“Please teach me, Mr. Yang!”

Elder Xue was not foolish, nor was his team; the medicine Yang Genshuo provided had an inexplicable mysterious radiation, a peculiar energy form, and some undetectable elements.

Take it and you’ll improve immediately; stop taking it for a while and you’ll worsen quickly.

Clearly, whether his life could continue depended entirely on Yang Genshuo’s whim…

Even so, Elder Xue dared not question Yang Genshuo, fearing he might anger this worldly master with true skills and lose his only hope.

Moreover, recently, due to the incident with Brother Tian in Southeast Asia and the appearance of the [Ice Crystal Stone], the military and other departments were developing quickly, and future prospects were very promising.

Elder Xue didn’t want to miss this opportunity for national rise… He wanted to pave the way for those beneath him while still in his position and see the day when the descendants of the dragon truly reign over the world.

At this moment, his gaze at Yang Genshuo was exceptionally firm.

He believed that Yang Genshuo said it, and he definitely could do it.

Yang Genshuo nodded in satisfaction, taking a pen from his pocket and placing it on the table.

A faint blue light flickered, and a transparent barrier appeared around them, isolating their voices and blocking signal detection.

This was a small mechanism pen devised by Yang Genshuo, named the [Shielding Pen].

It did some minor shielding work.

Ensured this conversation between them would not be heard by others.

“Xue Yongjun, what price are you willing to pay for rebirth?”

“Any price other than treason… cough cough~”

Elder Xue blurted out, as if he had considered this answer countless times.

“Good, I accept your terms; the following words are rather shocking, but I need you to first sign a contract with me… If you agree, we can start.”

“No problem.”

As soon as Elder Xue saw the parchment appear, he knew this contract was no simple matter… but after looking at the terms, he still signed it.

Among them, a new clause added by Yang Genshuo would not make him commit treason.

And what he needed to do was not reveal anything about Yang Genshuo and any conversations related to him without Yang Genshuo’s permission.

Phew~~

After the two signed the contract, it directly turned into a flame and burned, leaving a trace in both of their souls.

Elder Xue could not violate the contract; once violated, it would be detected by this soul-embedded parchment, disrupting his soul, and life or death would be uncertain.

This was a method the Demon Clan was most adept at, mastered by both Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei, and Yang Genshuo had learned a thing or two.

As long as Elder Xue couldn’t surpass the Qi Refinement Realm, he would never escape the influence of this contract.

Elder Xue’s eyes widened.

“Oh! Is Mr. Yang a magician or a fairy?”

“Hehe~ if you must give it a name… you may call me a cultivator.”

“Cultivator Yang… what is going on exactly? I feel you… probably have big secrets.”

“This is a long story, but I’ll keep it short… Whatever my status, you and I stand on the same ground, and I love this land, which is why I let Brother Tian bring out the [Ice Crystal Stone] to trade with you.”

“Hiss~ It was you!”

Elder Xue’s face was astonished, then he seemingly tugged at his lungs and began coughing violently: “Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!”

In the past, at times like this, the outside medical team would rush in, but since Yang Genshuo had set up the [Shielding Pen], people outside weren’t aware of any anomalies.

Yang Genshuo directly took out a Third Grade Elixir [Revitalizing Pill] and handed it to the coughing, bleeding Elder Xue.

Elder Xue grabbed it and swallowed it down directly.

Instantly, a cool sensation flowed down his esophagus to his stomach, followed by an electrifying feeling erupting from within his body as if he had been thrown into a vat of essential balm, instantly shivering.

After a period of full-body tingling… Elder Xue felt a sweetness in his throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood!

Puff!!!

Elder Xue only felt his whole body lighten; the chronic ailments that had plagued him… disappeared immediately.

The whole person felt reborn, like old wood meeting spring again!

His hunched back straightened once more.

From an old man on the verge of the grave to a spirited elder.

“I… I… I’m better! Eh? I’m better!”

Despite weathering storms, Elder Xue could not hide his excitement; this was simply a miracle!

He glanced at the serene Yang Genshuo and instantly understood… the meaning of a cultivator.

He dropped to one knee, performing the fist salute seen in wuxia films.

“Thank you, Cultivator Yang, for your life-saving grace!”

“Hehe~ by signing a contract with me, you are now under my care, so naturally, I won’t let you suffer from illness again, but…”

Elder Xue was listening quite intently, but the sudden “but” startled him.

“But… I don’t have much time left?”

Yang Genshuo rolled his eyes.

“Why would I save you if that were the case… Though now free from sickness, your Life Span is still limited. From my observation of your bones and blood Qi… you have ten years, then your life span will reach its end.”

“Ten years… that’s fine! It’s all profit to live another year!”

When Elder Xue heard that, he was very happy; it was actually two pieces of good news!

“Ten years… is it really enough? Old Xue?”

“Even if it’s not enough, then… would you…?”

Yang Genshuo nodded with a smile.

“If you become my disciple and learn the ways of cultivation… surpassing your life span wouldn’t be difficult.”

“Master!”

Elder Xue was very perceptive; no matter how high his status was, he was but a mortal… Seeing a true master cultivator, he realized how insignificant he was.

Thus, he fully considered himself as the lower one in the relationship without the slightest embarrassment.

This wretched life, if it could last ten years, so be it… but to extend life?

Elder Xue knew that whatever Yang Genshuo wanted, the world’s top elites would spare no cost to find it for him!

Even those with more power than him could not resist the allure of life extension.

To borrow a phrase young people often use… if you don’t fawn, there are plenty who will.

He, Xue Yongjun, had to seize this opportunity well!

Not only for himself… but also for the military and the country.

Seeing how perceptive Old Xue was, Yang Genshuo had much less to say, directly speaking:

“Don’t rush to call me Master… to join under my tutelage, you must complete my test. After completion, I will accept you as my disciple.”
