Although the immortality technology here cannot be widely adopted, it seems that it is not a matter of cost, but rather a matter of skill—for example, the techniques for cultivating Welwitschia mirabilis and self-erosion must be done by hand one by one, and cannot be industrialized.
The only thing that incurs a cost is the Soul Steel technology...
But that's not a problem. Even Black Tower, the genius club, has no intention of leaking technology, let alone other geniuses.
The only reliable form of immortality is probably "mechanical ascension" like hers, but the cost is too high and the limitations are too great, so few people can actually do it.
To be honest, if the medicine seekers from thousands of years ago saw this, why would they bother asking Fengrao for medicine? Now it looks like a bloodline curse, and living for a thousand years would be amazing. As a result, the immortal ship was almost destroyed by this thing.
Then... Zhen and Ying lived for four or five thousand years without any problems, and Huzhai Palace was still alive and kicking after five hundred years.
If nothing unexpected happens, Kujo Sara can live for at least a thousand or eight hundred years.
And these people are not isolated cases...
If we had known about these things back then, honestly, even without war, wouldn't it have been more reliable to come and ask for seeds than for medicine?
"Alright, alright, actually everyone thinks that the other side's technology might have some problems."
Liu Bai reassured him.
Snow Clothes' view of Earth is a bit far-fetched.
Looking at interstellar space from Earth is nonsense. Even with such advanced technology, we still haven't conquered immortality.
Xueyi thought about it and felt that Liu Bai's words made a lot of sense, so she shut up and the two looked at the stage at the bottom.
"So it really is Hu Tao... Did you guys also create that dried-up dead body that Hu Tao mentioned?" Bai asked.
"Just some dry twigs, made up, and turned into a marionette," the Herrscher of Domination said dismissively. "I'm just tossing it down there to play with that little brat."
It really is a dead tree branch...
As Liu Bai ate, he watched the "stage play" below, but as he watched, he suddenly noticed something subtle.
"Are you trying to scare Hu Tao? But Hu Tao isn't afraid at all, is she?"
Liu Bai pointed down, and in the pitch black, Hu Tao lit a fire and began excitedly searching for his target in the darkness.
There was absolutely no fear involved.
Ruler of Domination: "..."
"This girl really has no sense of crisis."
The Herrschers all revealed a sinister grin.
"Cough cough!"
Liu Bai coughed, and the savage grin on the Herrscher's face instantly turned into the smile of a docile puppy.
"I think there's a limit to how much you can scare people. If you can't scare them, there's no need to force it."
Liu Bai realized that this group of people were probably planning to jump down together and beat up Hu Tao.
“Master, you are right.” The Law Masters weren’t stupid either; after Liu Bai gave them a way out, they readily accepted it.
—After all, it was a way out given by their master, so they couldn't refuse.
The Herrscher of Domination then teased Kurumi and threw her out of the theater.
"By the way, why did you make the theater so hidden?"
"Because this place is an energy field with abundant and stable Honkai energy, simply setting up the theater will not cause any disturbance."
The Law Dominator explained.
This method of operation is probably only discovered by Xueyi, the judge in charge of chasing down criminals and thieves; even Liuying wouldn't have noticed it.
"By the way, Master, would you like some entertainment?"
Chapter 238 You're such a wicked person!
"Boss! You're finally out!"
As soon as Liu Bai and Xue Yi came out, they saw Gui Naifen and Hu Tao trying their best to lock Liu Ying's arm.
"Take care of the fireflies! If we don't do something about them, they'll start setting the mountain on fire!"
"What are you talking about? How could I possibly set the mountain on fire?"
Liu Ying stood empty-handed, with a gentle smile on her face.
"You two stop pulling and tugging at each other."
Hu Tao and Gui Naifen's lips twitched simultaneously.
But... well, now that the knife is put away, the problem is solved, right?
Gui Naifen let go first, and Hu Tao followed suit.
"...Sigh, I couldn't find anyone to help me pass on to, and then this happened."
Hu Tao felt what it meant to be physically and mentally exhausted for the first time in a long time—who could tell her why Liu Ying, this seemingly weak woman, had such a strong grip!
Plus, I didn't catch what I wanted...
"Anyway, let's go back. This place is even more eerie than we imagined." Gui Naifen wiped her sweat. "By the way, boss, are you alright? Is Miss Xueyi alright too?"
"Everything's fine." Bai shrugged.
He just went in and ate and drank. The Herrscher of the Dominion's entertainment was dancing, which wasn't very interesting.
"In that case, let's go."
No one present had any objections.
"However... even though there was a slight accident, it's still quite interesting, isn't it?"
Hu Tao jumped up and down, her optimistic attitude kicking in again—but neither Gui Naifen nor Liu Ying wanted to continue the conversation.
Is it really interesting?
Not at all!
One of them was frightened by the pitch-black environment, and the other was so overwhelmed by a bunch of Kafka that she instinctively drew her sword.
I absolutely do not want to do it again.
As the group walked out of Wuwang Slope, the heavy motorcycle composed of the Law Masters seemed to have never moved.
"By the way, where do you live?"
As she boarded the bus, Hu Tao suddenly asked a question.
"Qunyu Pavilion Guesthouse".
"Oh, that's quite close—wait, isn't this our distinguished guest?"
Hu Tao seemed more excited than surprised.
"I guess so. By the way, I should be paid as a part-time worker, right?"
"Here you are, your guest badge from the Hall of Rebirth~ You're welcome to join us from now on~"
"What use would I have for this?"
"Anyway, you don't care about money, right?"
Well... that's the truth.
…………
"Two more...and there's a stunning beauty too."
After completing the registration, the receptionist sighed.
—After Liu Bai returned to Liyue Harbor, he also picked up Eden, and of course, he put the equipment into the pot as well.
"You seem to be getting more and more popular."
Eden, carrying the violin case, looked at the understated yet luxurious decor of the hallway and the silent, doll-like Xueyi beside him, his face filled with emotion.
What did I do now?
Liu Bai found Eden's wistful expression somewhat strange.
"Just a simple sentiment," Dian sighed. "When we first met, you were a down-on-her-luck female singer and I was a kept man. In the blink of an eye, less than two months later, you've become a big shot that I have to look up to."
"So your initial impression of me was that of a 'kept man'?"
"Just kidding—my actual first impression was 'an interesting younger brother boy who gets bullied by his older sister.'"
"I'll just take it as a compliment. Aren't you a big streamer with millions of followers now? ... But then again, these past two months have felt pretty unreal."
Liu Bai understood Eden's meaning and chuckled softly.
Indeed, it was both incredible and normal for Eden to have accomplished such a leap in just two months.
"What does being a streamer mean to you?" Dian shook her head. Having entered this world, she already had a general understanding of what Liu Bai had done.
Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, World Serpent, Liyue, Inazuma... these forces combined are almost as numerous as the entire planet.
What Liu Bai is doing now is unifying these people.
To Liu Bai, this mere streamer was no different from ordinary people.
"Is it because of the gap that you feel sad?"
"Pretty much." Dian sighed. Although they were both making progress, Liu Bai's approach was too wild and his steps were too big. "Liu Bai, can you comfort me? Like, you got to where you are today entirely by selling hooks or something."
"Waaah... Eden, you can actually say such vulgar and offensive things?"
"Anyway, there are no outsiders... well, but even if you've gotten this far by selling hooks, don't say anything more."
Eden sighed again, a subtle feeling that he wouldn't be too happy no matter what answer he heard.
Liu Bai helplessly shrugged, then looked at the life-sized violin case on Eden's back.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
"Yes, just like you guessed, a machine gun."
Eden tapped the violin case.
"Rita said my basic skills were already very solid, so she gave me a set of standard armor and let me walk around the battlefield."
"Rita is surprisingly a strict one..."
"Because with you here, I'm sure I won't suffer any losses."
Eden glanced at Liu Bai.
"So my safety is in your hands now, Teacher Liu Bai~"
…………
“Zero… Dream… Who is that woman?” Liu Ying and Gui Nai Fen, who had just returned from their previous walk, looked at the two people chatting in the corridor and Xue Yi following beside them. Liu Ying asked a question that sounded quite alarming.
"Eden, one of the boss's good friends."
Although she's more like one of my girlfriends...
Gui Naifen added in her mind.
"Ugh..." Liu Ying made a sound of resentment, "Wasn't that woman a bit unfair?"
"Well, maybe?" Gui Naifen and Eden were quite familiar with each other, and she knew that Eden was actually a very easy person to get along with.
However, the combination of a noble demeanor and beauty can indeed be a little overwhelming.
"Is this what those beautiful country girls who suddenly appear in novels are like..." Liu Ying muttered softly.
"Someone's remarks are really offensive."
Gui Naifen felt like she had been dragged into this for no reason—no, to be fair, most of them were probably from rural backgrounds, right?
Even Kafka, who is also a Star Core Hunter, was just born on a somewhat special planet.
The land of Izumo in the underworld is also near the edge of the known universe.
Based on her understanding of the powerful Grammer regime, people like her, born from a single planet, were nothing but country bumpkins compared to Liu Ying…
I reckon Xueyi isn't exactly a country girl anymore; she's a proper immortal boat master.
"Uh, I... I didn't mean that."
