Chapter 1496

After obtaining the jiao dan, Wang Chen returned to Tianyun City with his daughter.

Tianyun City is a very young city, but it is also the largest city in the entire Yunmeng Daze.

It was first built less than ten years ago, but it occupies the most fertile and rich land in Yunze Prefecture. After years of expansion, it has reached its current size.

In fact, ten years ago, Wang Chen led 50,000 Qing’an civilians south to Yunmeng Daze, and it only took three months to unify Yunze Prefecture and make it a historical term.

Today, although several counties remain in Yunmeng Daze, most of the population has gathered in Tianyun City.

鈥淢other!鈥�

Wang Zhenzhen, who had returned home, proudly threw herself into Ye Dai’s arms and said proudly, 鈥淒ad and I killed a black dragon today, and we’re almost done gathering the ingredients for the elixir!鈥�

She said happily, 鈥淲hen the elixir is ready, you’ll be young forever!鈥�

Ye Dai couldn’t help but smile as she touched her daughter’s silky hair and said, 鈥淵ou’re not an immortal, so how could you be forever young? As long as you’re safe and sound, I’ll be very happy.鈥�

Ten years have passed, and now Ye Dai’s face still shows few signs of the passage of time. She has become a graceful and beautiful woman, exuding an air of mature charm.

Only when she smiles do faint crow’s feet appear around the corners of her eyes.

“With the jiao pill, we only need one more main ingredient for the face-preserving pill,鈥�

Wang Chen said, 鈥淚 plan to go to Changyi to see if I can find the thousand-year-old rehmannia there.鈥�

Time is relentless, but this life of mortal cultivation has allowed Wang Chen and Ye Dai to become true husband and wife. The two have children and have a deep bond.

Wang Chen himself has an extremely long lifespan, but Ye Dai is ultimately just a mortal and cannot accompany him for a long time.

However, Wang Chen can find a way to preserve her youth and keep her beautiful forever.

This is his heartfelt wish.

To this end, Wang Chen searched for an ancient recipe for eternal youth and wanted to refine the legendary Eternal Youth Pill.

At present, he has gathered most of the ingredients needed to refine the Eternal Youth Pill, except for one ingredient, the thousand-year-old ginseng, which is still missing.

Changyi is the imperial capital of the Great Wei, so there is a chance that he might find it there.

Before Wang Chen went south to Yunze Mansion, he made a pact with Li Zili, the Ping Tian Wang at the time, not to invade each other’s territory.

Li Zili was a man of great talent and ambition, and after taking over the entire Changyi Prefecture, he only took four years to conquer the Nanli Kingdom. Not only did he eliminate all his rivals, he also went on to conquer other countries.

He established a huge territory.

Five years ago, Li Zili ascended the throne in the old capital of Nanli and established the country’s name as 鈥淲ei鈥�, officially crowning himself as an emperor.

The old capital of Nanli was also renamed Changyi.

In the past five years, under the rule of Li Zili, Great Wei has been working hard to govern the country and constantly expand outward. The current territory has already expanded several times the size of the original Nanli Kingdom.

Because Wang Chen has an agreement with Li Zili, Tianyun City, which has become completely independent, has maintained normal trade relations with Great Wei.

鈥淔ather, I want to go with you!鈥�

Upon hearing Wang Chen’s words, Wang Zhenzhen immediately jumped up, 鈥淚s that okay?鈥�

She wrapped her arms around Wang Chen’s arm and shook it vigorously, her face full of pleading.

鈥淪top messing around!鈥�

Ye Dai couldn’t help but tap her daughter’s head: 鈥淒o you know how far Changyi is?鈥�

She then said to Wang Chen, 鈥淗usband, actually, I don’t need the Elixir of Youth, so you don’t have to go.鈥�

Although eternal youth is an irresistible temptation for any woman,

But Ye Dai felt that she had been incredibly happy in her life, and she was not greedy or ambitious, so she was not particularly eager for the face-rejuvenating pill, and did not want Wang Chen to travel thousands of miles to worry about her.

Tianyun City was three or four thousand li from Changyi, and the trip would take several months.

As for Wang Zhenzhen, she was even more reluctant to go 鈥� although this daughter liked to wield swords and guns, she was still very close to her.

Wang Zhenzhen pouted in distress when she heard her mother’s objection.

She had never left Yunmeng Daze in the ten years since they had moved there, and longed to see the outside world.

鈥淶henzhen is already a big girl,鈥�

Wang Chen said with a smile. 鈥淚t’s time to take her out and broaden her horizons. A few thousand li is nothing.鈥�

After a pause, he added, 鈥淲hen Jingxing reaches this age, I will take him out to see the world too.鈥�

When Wang Chen mentioned his eldest son, he felt a little helpless.

Eleven-year-old Wang Jingxing was the opposite of his sister. He liked literature and the arts rather than martial arts. Although he had learned the martial arts with Wang Chen, he was not interested in becoming a martial arts master. Most of the time, he spent in the study practising calligraphy and reading.

Wang Chen was a little worried that his son would become a nerd!

“That’s great!鈥�

Wang Zhenzhen immediately cheered, 鈥淒addy is the best!鈥�

Her heart soared.

Ye Dai complained to Wang Chen helplessly, 鈥淵ou, you just spoil her too much!鈥�

The entire Tianyun City knows that Wang Zhenzhen is the Wang family’s most favored eldest daughter, the precious pearl of Grandmaster Wang Chen, and she really gets whatever she wants.

Wang Chen laughed.

Of course, although he had made the decision to go to Changyi to search for treasures, Wang Chen was not going just like that.

As the anchor of Tianyun City, he had to make some preparations before leaving.

However, Tianyun City today, under the joint management of the Ye and Wang families, can be described as impregnable. The city lord, Ye Xiangming, broke through the innate realm three years ago with the help of Wang Chen.

Moreover, Tianyun City has 7,000 elite soldiers, and with the arrangements that Wang Chen has made over the years, even if hundreds of thousands of troops attack, they will be able to hold out for a long time.

So he is quite at ease with this trip.

Three days later, Wang Chen took Wang Zhenzhen with him, and the two of them, accompanied by four horses, set off on the long journey to Changyi.

He and his daughter travelled north day and night, and soon entered the territory of the Great Wei.

They left the Yunmeng Marsh, which was full of water, and arrived at the rolling plains. The scenery along the way was very fresh for Wang Zhenzhen, and she looked around excitedly.

However, the long journey quickly made her feel tired, and this sense of freshness soon disappeared until the two of them arrived at Qing’an County.

鈥淭his is where Grandpa and Grandma are from?鈥�

Looking at the small county town in front of them, Wang Zhenzhen was very surprised: 鈥淲hy does it look like this?鈥�

Compared to Tianyun City, Qing’an County had not changed much over the past ten years, and it even looked more dilapidated. There was not much sign of prosperity.

This made Wang Zhenzhen very disappointed.

In fact, she did have memories of Qing’an County, but her childhood memories were embellished. Now that she had returned to her hometown, she could not help but feel a sense of disillusionment.

Wang Chen laughed and said, 鈥淟et’s go.鈥�

He had a fairly good understanding of the situation in Qing’an County, and he wasn’t sure whether those who had chosen to stay back then had any regrets.

But whether those people regretted it or not had nothing to do with Wang Chen!
