Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 10 Ways to Extend Life
  Yao Guangxiao, who was on the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to smooth things over.

"My lord, being indecisive will only make things worse."

"According to what Mr. Shiro said, does the prince really want to wait and be killed before surrendering?"

Zhu Di's face was gloomy and uncertain, his eyes glanced back and forth between Bai Chu and Zhu Gaochi, and finally he gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

"In this case, we will fight them!"

"Mr. Bai, please help me!"

"Father!!"

Zhu Gaochi was furious when he saw this scene.

Conspiracy is not that easy.

The emperor sat in the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, with countless money, grain and grass, and the heroes of the Central Plains, who were all his ministers.

There are like clouds of famous generals and military advisers. When Zhu Yuanzhang was in the capital, he stationed a million elite troops.

King Yan holds a corner of Peiping, with less than ten generals and less than ten thousand soldiers and horses. How can he compare with the powerful Daming Hall?
  It’s clear who wins and who loses.

If King Yan wants to rebel, it is like a mantis trying to use his arms as a chariot.

At that time, Zhu Di will most likely be swallowed up by thousands of troops in one day, and his family will also die for his death.

However, Zhu Di did not retreat. If he wanted to become an emperor, once he decided on something, he would never hesitate.

"No need to say anything, I've made up my mind."

"My eldest nephew and I have just met each other. This man is very sophisticated and is by no means as simple as you think."

"As long as he ascends the throne as emperor, he will never allow us brothers to continue to be in charge of the border."

"What Mr. Bai said is absolutely true. Sooner or later, I and Zhu Yunwen will have a fight."

"In this case, let's prepare in advance."

"Amitabha, the prince has finally corrected his evil ways!"

Seeing that Zhu Di had finally made his decision, Yao Guangxiao breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands together and recited a Buddhist name.

Yao Guangxiao has waited too long for this day.

Yao Guangxiao was born in troubled times, and Yao Guangxiao entered Taoism through martial arts. Devoting himself to the study of yin and yang arts and military strategies, it can be said to be a unique skill in slaying dragons.

It's a pity that he was born in the wrong era. By the time he achieved great success in martial arts, Zhu Yuanzhang had already conquered the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains.

The troubled times are over. Yao Guang Xiaokong has a talent, but he has no chance to display it. For more than thirty years, he has not been reused.

Until he met Zhu Di, he felt that Zhu Di would do something great in the future, so he thought of treating him in his own way and helping Zhu Di ascend to the throne.

But now, he finally got his wish, using heaven and earth as chess pieces and all the people in the world as chess pieces, he used the dragon-slaying method to kill Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Bai Chu was slightly startled.

This was not because Zhu Di had much courage, but when Zhu Di wanted to rebel, a notification sound suddenly sounded in Bai Chu's head.

[Ding, there are some problems with the host's luck. Now a new trading channel will be opened for the host. Please check it out. 】

When Bai Chu heard this, he quickly opened the system interface and found that his attributes had changed again.

[Host: Bai Chu]

[Race: Dragon]

Realm: Early stage of transformation

[Talent: Flying, Breathing Wind, Scales, Humanoid]

[Luck: Princes Struggle for Hegemony]

[Belief: None]

[Sacrifice: None]

[Exercise: Devouring Heaven and Refining Qi, Devouring Transformation and Changing Luck]

[Junior Mall] 　　　Bai Chu looked at the newly appeared "Primary Mall" with excitement on his face. He was about to click on it to check it out when he heard Zhu Di's voice.

"But, Mr. Bai, I made a promise in advance."

"My rebellion this time was just for Zhu Yunwen. If my father was still there, I would never send troops.

"No matter what, I will never go to my father to fight for my life."

Zhu Di looked compassionate, as if he didn't want to break up with his father.

But Bai Chu heard a heartfelt emotion from these words.

But that's not important. What's important is that it was the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang also died soon.

Bai Chu waved his hand casually and said:

"Don't worry, Emperor Hongwu, he won't live for more than two years, so we should make some preparations."

"When Emperor Hongwu dies, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Bai Chu's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, but everyone seemed to have been struck by lightning and turned to look at Bai Chu.

"Bai, Mr. Bai, do you mean that my father is going to die here?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is old today, in Zhu Di's mind, Zhu Yuanzhang is still a heroic and extraordinary figure.

He never expected that his father would die in such a short period of time.

Seeing Zhu Di's disbelief, Bai Chu didn't hide it and said directly:
  "Emperor Hongwu is now sixty-nine years old. It is very rare for a person to live to seventy. His life span can be considered a long time."

"This is also thanks to Emperor Hongwu who drove away the Tartars and recovered the Central Plains. Otherwise, he would not have such a long life."

Although Bai Chu's words sounded reasonable, Zhu Di couldn't accept it and asked quickly:

"Mr. Bai, do you have any methods to extend your life?"

How to extend life?

Bai Chu frowned slightly, obviously being persuaded by Zhu Di.

Although he transformed into a dragon, he didn't know any magic.

He had no formal training and all the spells were innate. Even if he wanted to learn them, he wouldn't know where to start.

In this age of Dharma Ending, heaven and earth are cut off, and the ancient Qi Refiners have long since disappeared. His ability to reach this level is unprecedented.

Thanks to the system, otherwise no matter how hard I try, I would still be just a big python.

In desperation, he had no choice but to turn his attention to the system, and finally landed on the mall column.

Maybe the secret to extending life is here.

With a thought from Bai Chu, the system interface turned into an interface for exchanging items.

Bai Chu's eyes were dazzled by the wide variety of items on it.

Spells: fireball, wind-calling, rain-making, thunder-inducing.

Weapon Refining: Beginner, Intermediate
  Formation [Five Elements Formation] [Three Talents Formation] [Bagua]

Weapons: Longquan Sword, Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Overlord Spear, and Long Halberd.

The things needed can be said to be various, but Bai Chu did not find any way to increase his lifespan.

In desperation, Bai Chu had to look through it again. Finally, Bai Chu found an elixir called Life-Extension Pill in the elixir column.

[Name: Life Extension Pill]

[Function: Extend life by one year, only one for life]

[Cost: one hundred square meters of incense, one hundred sacrifices]

[Note: The power of faith is one million, and the power of faith requires the sacrifice of 10,000 people. 】

Bai Chu's face suddenly darkened. Where could he get such a thing?
