Chapter 157 Meeting Ouyang Zhan

Ye Buwen came to the mansion of Duke Ouyang and met Ouyang Zhan.

He didn't know many people, and Ouyang Zhan was the one he communicated with the most.

Ye Buwen said to the servant at the door: "Please inform your Duke Ouyang that Ye Buwen is here to talk to him."

The servant saw Ye Buwen's face and heard his name, and couldn't help but shudder.

The servant knelt down and saluted to Ye Buwen excitedly: "Greetings to Emperor Tianwu, Emperor Tianwu is wise and powerful, and his immortal life is endless."

Ye Buwen was a little uncomfortable watching the servant salute like this, and waved his hand and said: "I am not the emperor anymore, don't treat me like this."

"No, I can't overstep my authority. You are still the emperor, the wise and powerful emperor, this is recognized by Zhou and Wu."

Ye Buwen was helpless.

"Go and report to Ouyang Zhan, I'm here to talk to him."

"Yes." The servant got up and trotted all the way to report to Ouyang Zhan.

Not long after, Ouyang Zhan came out with his daughter, Empress Dowager Ouyang Ting of Wu, and a group of family members and servants.

"Greetings to Emperor Tianwu, who is wise and powerful, and has an immortal life." Everyone knelt down and bowed.

"Get up. No need to do this."

Ye Buwen asked these people to stand up.

He looked at Ouyang Zhan, who was stronger, but also older. The image of a strong old man in the past had already shown a trace of decline.

"Duke Ouyang, I haven't seen you for a while. You are obviously a little older."

Ouyang Zhan smiled bitterly.

"How can you not age when you are old? On the contrary, you are more charming than a few years ago."

"Excuse me, did you go to the immortal world and become an immortal?"

Ye Buwen nodded.

"I went there and succeeded in cultivating immortals, and I have made some achievements."

Ouyang Zhan was not surprised and looked envious.

"Sure enough, a person like you who is born with supernatural powers is so eye-catching wherever he goes."

"Come in and talk. I can't neglect a noble person like you."

Ouyang Zhan took Ye Buwen into the house and ordered the servants to prepare wine and food, all of which were of the highest quality.

Ye Buwen took out a bottle of pills from the storage bag and placed it in front of Ouyang Zhan: "Longevity Pill, a ten-year longevity for mortals, a gift for meeting."

Ouyang Zhan couldn't help but get excited.

"This gift is the most expensive gift in the world."

Longevity for ten years, what a precious treasure.

Especially in his later years, feeling the aging of his body and the gradual approach of death, he could feel the scarcity of life.

Now that his life has been extended by ten years, the feeling of approaching death is instantly far away.

Ouyang Zhan picked up the longevity pill and sighed: "The older I am, the more I cherish my life and the more I want to live."

Ouyang Zhan looked at Ye Buwen and said expectantly: "Do you think I can still practice immortality and prolong my life at my age now?"

Ye Buwen glanced at Ouyang Zhan.

Perhaps it was because he saw his achievements, and felt the passing of time as he got older, that Ouyang Zhan suddenly had a fantasy about cultivating immortals.

Ye Buwen did not say anything to discourage his fantasy.

Ouyang Zhan asked this question, perhaps not to ask for an answer, but to seek a goal.

"Ten years of Qi refining, and then ten days of foundation building. Foundation building requires an extremely precious foundation building pill. With a foundation building pill, you can gain more lifespan."

Ye Buwen did not give a definite answer, but stated the requirements for foundation building.

Ouyang Zhan's eyes suddenly ignited with a blazing fighting spirit, like the old man he saw a few years ago.

"It seems that an old man like me is also qualified to pursue the immortal path."

"Why, are you planning to try your luck in the world of cultivating immortals?"

Ye Buwen smiled slightly.

Ouyang Zhan smiled bitterly: "I'm old, and I don't have many years to live. While I still have a few years to live, let's see if I can get a good result."

Ouyang Ting was shocked when she heard this.

"Dad, you..."

She was about to persuade her father not to fantasize, but when the words came to her lips, she gave up.

Why should she let someone who is about to die of old age give up the opportunity to live longer?

Even she wanted such an opportunity very much.

"Dad, if you leave, what should I do? What about the Wu Kingdom?" Ouyang Ting complained.

"You can do it yourself. I have supported you for a long time with my old bones. Now I want to go out and fight. Even if I die, I will die in a place surrounded by immortals."

Ouyang Zhan is determined, and he has the meaning of seeking immortality to cut off all worldly things and emotions.

He looked at Ye Buwen, stood up and knelt to him and said: "The wise and powerful Tianwu Emperor, please teach me the immortal method, accept me as a disciple, and lead me into the immortal world."

Ye Buwen shook his head.

"You don't need me to teach you. You have the immortal method, you also have spiritual roots, and you also have the body refining method left by the ancestors of the Wu family. Whether you can achieve success depends on how you make it. If you are determined, I can give you a ride to the immortal world."

"I want to go, I beg the emperor to give me a ride." Ouyang Zhan showed some disappointment in his eyes.

Ye Buwen has made extraordinary achievements. If he can be taught with the etiquette of a master and a disciple, he can avoid many detours and even ascend to heaven in one step to gain a longer lifespan.

But Ye Buwen's meaning is very clear, he will not help him ascend to heaven in one step.

Ye Buwen nodded.

"I will take you there after I finish my business."

He picked up the teapot and poured hot tea for everyone with the object control technique.

Ouyang Zhan and Ouyang Ting were both amazed by this magical spell.

Ye Buwen's trick shows that he really has the means of an immortal.

Ouyang Zhan's idea of ​​cultivating immortals in his heart became stronger.

Ye Buwen has no spiritual roots, and he has a lower-grade medium spiritual root, which is better than his qualifications.

Although he is not comparable in other aspects, his aptitude shows that he has a much easier time in cultivating immortals than Ye Buwen.

He does not ask for much, as long as he can achieve half of Ye Buwen's achievements and live longer, he will be satisfied.

"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Wu."

"Along the way, the changes in Wudu are really confusing. Who carved such a big sculpture for me? Why did the Li Mansion of my father-in-law's family change people?"

Ouyang Zhan stood up, pulled the chair and sat down at the lower seat, with a respectful look.

"Indeed, after you left, the Wu Kingdom has changed a lot. Not only the Wu Kingdom has changed a lot, but also the ten nearby kingdoms have changed a lot."

"Let's talk about Father-in-law Li first. After you left, he was seized by my grandson Wu Sheng, and then he joined forces with everyone to gather troops to attack the neighboring Yu Kingdom and proclaimed himself emperor. In recent years, he has annexed three kingdoms after a series of wars, and his territory is much larger than that of the Wu Kingdom."

"Because of the seizure of power, borders, and disputes over the orthodoxy of faith, although the Wu Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom have no armed conflicts, they do not deal with each other."

Ye Buwen touched his chin and smiled in his heart.

With his father-in-law's ambition, it is not surprising to do such a thing.

It's just that the scale is a bit unexpected. It has only been a short time since he annexed the three kingdoms. I don't know how he will solve the people's livelihood problems.

War is fought for the economy and logistics. After years of continuous wars, the manpower and material resources consumed are not small.

Especially in such a short time, has Li Minyun gained a firm foothold in Yu Kingdom? What means will he rely on to maintain such a large country from unrest?

"As for the huge sculpture in the city, it was built by the royal family."

Ye Buwen was a little surprised.

"Carved by the royal family? Shouldn't Wu Sheng hate me? How could he carve such a big sculpture for me?"

Ouyang Zhan: "He was also forced to do so. The influence you left behind is too great. You have demonstrated your divine power several times, and the world has regarded you as the supreme immortal god to believe in."

"They pray for your protection, claiming to be the people of the immortal rule, and are proud of it."

"This has caused the current emperor to be unpopular, and many policies are difficult to implement. So he had to build this sculpture to win the hearts of the people, and claim to be your successor, and grant you the power to manage the world for you."

"By speaking in your name, he barely maintained the status of the royal family."

...

Ouyang Zhan told what happened over the years bit by bit.

Ye Buwen didn't expect that he had such a deep influence on Wu and the surrounding countries.

It even became a supreme belief and developed into a god that the whole people believed in.

After learning a lot of things, Ye Buwen refused Ouyang Zhan's request to stay overnight and left Ouyang Guogong Mansion.

Ye Buwen looked at the Ouyang Mansion and sighed with a lonely look.

"Why is the master sighing? Is there something that makes you unhappy?"

"Just a little lonely. I haven't seen him for a few years, and Ouyang Zhan doesn't feel friendly when talking to me. He treats me as a person superior to him, respects me and flatters me. I clearly treat him as a friend, but now I don't feel like a friend at all when I get along with him."

Zhou Yi put her hands on her hips and said, "Isn't this natural? You are a famous foundation-building cultivator, the supreme Tianwu Emperor of Zhou and Wu, so he has to be respectful."

Lin Murong thoughtfully continued, "Although you are willing to get along with everyone on an equal footing, as your strength and status increase, others may not dare to get along with you on an equal footing."

"This is how immortal cultivation works. The higher the cultivation level and the higher the status, the less human touch you experience. The path of immortal cultivation is a journey to cut off the world of mortals."

Ye Buwen laughed.

"I don't think so. Immortality cultivation is about cultivating immortality, improving cultivation, and becoming an immortal, not about cutting off the secular world."

"If you really want to cut off the secular world, why don't you lock yourself up in a prison and never see anyone again?"

"I think we immortal cultivators who spend a lot of effort to improve our cultivation, compete with the heavens and the earth, and even fight with our peers to the death, are actually the ones who have the heaviest secular spirit."
