Jiang Yunhuang was stunned!
His mouth twitched uncontrollably as he looked at Jiang Che, feeling a mix of disbelief and exasperation.
No way, right?
Could it be that this entire bottle is filled with those longevity pills?
"Che'er... where did you get these from?"
Jiang Yunhuang's throat felt slightly dry. From Jiang Che's expression, he could tell... these were probably longevity pills.
Jiang Che opened the jade vial, and instantly, a terrifyingly potent medicinal fragrance wafted out. Just breathing in the aroma made one feel as if they were undergoing a rebirth.
Jiang Che poured out a single pill and handed it to Jiang Yunhuang, then resealed the vial.
"These longevity pills are from the master who taught me in my dreams."
Uncertain explanations were attributed to a so-called mysterious mentor.
Jiang Yunhuang fell silent for a moment, his heart filled with astonishment.
Just what kind of powerhouse was his grandson's master? Dream-teaching? Such an absurd ability... he had never even heard of it. And the fact that this master could create such extraordinary pills that extended life—definitely someone beyond the realm of ordinary!
"Alright, stop looking like you've never seen the world before. Take these longevity pills now. There will be more in the future."
Jiang Che's lips curled into a slight smirk. He loved seeing them act so awestruck.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunhuang trembled as he took the tiny pills from Jiang Che. He didn't dare use any internal energy, fearing he might accidentally destroy them.
"You can try it first. See how potent the pill is."
The elder nodded and didn't bother with false modesty, as his lifespan really was dwindling.
As for whether his grandson might be poisoning him? That thought never crossed his mind.
The moment the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved into pure medicinal energy, spreading throughout his limbs and bones. A surge of indescribable vitality flowed back into his body.
It started with his heart—his aged heart... slowly regained its vigor. The rejuvenation spread from his heart to the rest of his body, even healing many of his old ailments.
His white hair turned grey, wrinkles on his forehead smoothed out, and his cloudy eyes regained clarity.
"This... this is terrifying!"
Jiang Yunhuang looked at his arm, knowing without even needing a mirror that he was much younger now.
He was the master of his own body, and no one else knew his condition better than he did.
Soon, the medicinal effects were fully absorbed.
Jiang Yunhuang looked at Jiang Che with utter seriousness. "Che'er, have you told anyone else about these longevity pills?"
Jiang Che shook his head. He naturally wouldn't have revealed such a thing to others. Longevity pills were far too extraordinary. While the Jiang family was powerful, it wasn't powerful enough to cover the entire world. After all, this was a law-abiding society...
"Good. Don't mention these pills to anyone else. If someone asks... just say they strengthen the body and cure ailments. Never say they restore youth!"
Jiang Yunhuang, being an experienced grandmaster, was very cautious. If word got out... the Jiang family might not be able to protect him!
"Of course. I will be careful." Jiang Che nodded lightly.
"Che'er, it seems your master is indeed a reclusive expert, possibly with cultivation above Heavenly Force. Maybe only a Divine Force cultivator could achieve this..."
Jiang Che learned something new—Manifested Force, Dark Force, Transform Force, Absolute Force, Heavenly Force, Divine Force...
There was still a level above Heavenly Force. But it didn't matter... however powerful you are, there's always a system to back you up!
"Che'er, don't show these longevity pills to anyone else. To be honest... if you weren't my grandson, I'd seriously consider killing you and taking them."
Jiang Yunhuang laughed, patting Jiang Che on the shoulder, no longer projecting the aura of a grandmaster.
With that, he began leading Jiang Che out.
"Yunhuang... you... you look younger?"
Another grandmaster of the Jiang family, Jiang Jiechong, walked out. Like Jiang Shoulu, he was a Perfected Grandmaster, one of the clan elders.
Jiang Yunhuang, having just taken the longevity pill, was in a great mood.
"Haha... rejuvenated spirits! Of course, I look younger!"
The few other Jiang family members twitched at the corners of their mouths. Jiang Yunhuang chuckled. "It's nothing, just that my cultivation advanced a bit, and some old ailments healed. Naturally, I look younger."
He then quickly walked away.
Soon, they arrived at a meticulously cleaned bedroom.
"Chun'er, look what I've brought you!"
Inside the room, there was only an elderly woman with white hair, lying on the bed, her entire body exuding a sense of decay, clearly very aged.
Her eyes opened, gazing at Jiang Yunhuang with tenderness.
"Yun..."
Soon, her gaze fell on Jiang Che. "Is that Che'er? My eyes are not so good... I can't see clearly."
Jiang Che nodded gently. He had heard of this grandmother.
She was Jiang Yunhuang's first wife, fifteen years older than him. His grandfather had been quite the cougar lover in his youth!
Truly, they were a love match. Unfortunately, with such a large age gap, they were now facing the inevitability of death.
"Che'er... come here, let me take a look."
The old woman slowly extended her dry, yellowish hand, gazing at Jiang Che with infinite tenderness.
"Grandma!" Jiang Che walked up to the elderly woman, his expression humble.
Jiang Yunhuang stood by, clenching his hands with excitement. With this longevity pill, Chun'er would be saved!
Though he had many women, he had deep feelings for his first wife.
Just like how Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had numerous concubines, but only one Empress Ma.
Back when he was at his lowest—when both parents were gone, he was jilted, and his cultivation was crippled—he had felt utterly hopeless. But at that time, this gentle elder sister had appeared!
She had brought him hope and care!
So he would rather not use the longevity pill himself... but give it to her!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
