Inside the wooden palace, Wu Wang lay on a hammock in the corner, propping his arm and gazing at Shen Nong standing in the center of the hall.
The senior seemed truly angry, with a frightening expression.
Perhaps this was the Human Emperor.
Although he wouldn't kill thousands of miles with a single rage, his anger was enough to make people tremble and dare not look directly at him.
The old man stood in front of the medicine cauldron for a long time, let out a light sigh, turned around, raised his hand, and then lowered it, looking at Wu Wang in the corner, and said:
"What do you think, Wu Wang, how should we handle this matter?"
Wu Wang blinked. Was he testing if he had the wisdom to be the Human Emperor?
Sorry, he was a good senior.
If he didn't have to stand up to save the world, Wu Wang would prefer to wait until this strange disease was solved and then return to the North Wilderness to live a carefree life.
If he could live tens of thousands of years with his parents and future wife, that would be even better.
Wu Wang smiled calmly and said concisely:
"I don't know."
Shen Nong immediately showed a gentle smile and looked at Wu Wang with more appreciation.
"Not bad. At this time, it's best not to know or ask. I didn't expect you, this guy, to have such a deep mind...but today, I have to reprimand them a bit."
Wu Wang couldn't help but cover his forehead and lie down in the hammock.
Whatever, it was all fate.
Shen Nong nodded with a smile, the sleeve of his right hand fluttered, and a cloud of mist appeared in front of him, quickly condensing into more than ten illusions.
These illusions were far away from this place, but Wu Wang, who couldn't see their breath and realm, felt a strong pressure.
Wu Wang secretly admired the strength of these ministers under the Human Emperor. They were probably all stronger than his own father...
After a while, these more than ten illusions all saluted Shen Nong together and said:
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty."
"Okay."
Shen Nong waved his hand and said slowly:
"Today, I am communicating with your souls for two reasons.
Firstly, do not carry out trials for young people anymore. This will only waste the strength of the Human Realm without finding the person with great fortune.
Secondly, from today on, you cannot secretly contact the human forces outside of the Human Realm. If someone actively joins the Human Realm, they can be accepted, but they cannot be forced or tempted if they don't."
These more than ten seniors said in unison, "We obey."
An old woman worriedly said, "Your Majesty, your lifespan...by enduring the hardships of critical matters to find the person with strong fortune and blessings, you are endangering yourself. If Your Majesty blames us, I am willing to take responsibility."
"Don't worry about my lifespan. I already have a way to deal with it."
Shen Nong said, "I wasn't determined before, but now I want to live a few more years and see if the human race can usher in a prosperous era."
An old general exclaimed happily, "Your Majesty, if you have a way to extend your lifespan, why didn't you say it earlier!""Hehehe," Shen Nong laughed, "I have gained some knowledge in pharmacology over the years. Previously, I had little confidence, but now I do."
Wu Wang's eyebrows raised slightly. Although he had not been with the old senior for long, he clearly sensed that Shen Nong was lying.
Either he was lying about the matter of his lifespan limit, or he was lying about the method to solve the problem. What Shen Nong needed to rely on was not ordinary spiritual medicines or treasures.
Otherwise, why couldn't the two emperors, the powerful Sui Ren and Fu Xi, live until today?

Wu Wang watched for a while as Shen Nong listened to the reports from the ministers about the recent situation in the Human Realm, then waved his hand to disperse the smoke.
"Senior, how much normal lifespan do you have left?" Wu Wang asked.
"Over three hundred years."
Shen Nong leaned on his crutch and walked slowly forward, smiling, "I want to give the new emperor at least a thousand years to grow. This old bone of mine still needs to struggle for a few more years."
"Uh..."
Wu Wang pondered for a moment and said, "If there is anything I can do to help with your lifespan, please tell me. It can be considered as a favor for diagnosing my strange illness."
"Good."
Shen Nong replied with a smile and stood by the window, quietly gazing at the scenery outside, saying slowly:
"I still have a few things on my mind, but there is not much you can do to help. After you go to the Kingdom of Women, go to the Human Realm. Whether this Human Realm is worth protecting, you have to judge for yourself."
"Wu Wang, what do you think people are busy doing in their lives?"
"I think it's three words."
"Oh? What three words?"
"You, me, and them," Wu Wang said slowly. "You represent the people we want to protect and must protect, 'me' is myself, and 'them' are the people I can influence."
Shen Nong looked at Wu Wang with some surprise and praised, "You have such insight."
That was something he read in a book in his past life.
Wu Wang smiled and closed his eyes, his voice gradually slowing down:
"Senior Shen Nong, I can feel that you have devoted your whole life to the Human Realm, to medicine, and to the great cause of the rise of the human race. But in this process, have you forgotten something?"
Shen Nong's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, and he smiled, "What? Do you want to see an old man shed tears?"
"No, you're overthinking it."
Wu Wang's face was serious. He quietly put away the storage magic treasure under him, which contained some of the best wine from the North Wilderness, a erhu, and several conceptual drawings of "Shen Nong Tasting a Hundred Herbs" that he had drawn before.
Respecting the elders was a traditional virtue of the Blue Star Flower Planting Family. How could he want to see an old man cry?
Shen Nong spoke warmly, "Wu Wang, after you go to the Human Realm, you need to beware of two forces."
"The Ten Divine Teachings and the Ten Evil Teachings?"
Wu Wang suddenly became alert and deliberately got one of the names wrong.
Shen Nong shook his head slightly and smiled, "The Ten Divine Teachings are the same as the Ten Evil Teachings. They call themselves the Ten Divine Teachings, but others call them the Ten Evil Teachings. They are a force that infiltrated the Human Realm and secretly established themselves, worshiping the Ten Evil Gods.""In recent two thousand years, the conflict between immortals and demons in the Human Realm has become increasingly intense, and the Ten Divine Sects have done many good deeds in secret. Unfortunately, they are quite scattered and have means of controlling people's minds, making it not only difficult to eradicate but often resurfacing. In recent years, there have even been signs of them infiltrating into the major sects of the Human Realm."
Wu Wang smiled and said, "Is there no way to investigate people's souls in the Human Realm?"
Shen Nong spoke slowly, "There is, but it is difficult to detect abnormalities."
"It seems that the cultivation method is not always superior," Wu Wang said seriously. "I suggest that the Human Realm go to the North Wilderness and invite a group of priests from the Grand Star Festival to conduct an investigation in the Human Realm. The Star-Praying Technique has a method of observing souls, and I previously used this method to see the abnormality in Wang Lin's divine soul."
"Oh?"
Shen Nong's eyes lit up, and he patted Wu Wang's shoulder with a big hand. "In that case, I'll leave the matter of removing the Ten Calamities Palace to you. When necessary, you can find any sect and use your Yan Emperor's command to immediately gather experts to help."
Wu Wang silently slapped himself.
Shen Nong spoke slowly, "However, I don't recommend you use the Yan Emperor's command."
Wu Wang rubbed his forehead and said, "After all, the previous hundreds of people all died young?"
"Smart."
"Besides the Ten Calamities Palace, what other forces should we be wary of?"
"Alas, it's the Four Seas Pavilion that I personally established back then."
Shen Nong's face was somewhat gloomy, and he sighed, "The person who should be held responsible is the Lord of the Four Seas Pavilion, who was also my trusted disciple back then. Her nature is fine, and she is loyal to the Human Realm, but the two words of power can really erode people's hearts. The Four Seas Pavilion now carries too many vital interests of the Human Realm and has become a constraint on the Human Realm."
Wu Wang immediately said, "Don't ask me about this. I am the young master of the North Wilderness and cannot rectify the major forces of the Human Realm."
"Just be cautious and don't be jealous. I have chosen another little guy to rectify the Four Seas Pavilion. After all, the Four Seas Pavilion has only had some problems and has not reached the point where it must be cut off. I also cannot destroy the city wall."
Shen Nong calmly smiled and took out two storage rings from his sleeve, floating them in front of Wu Wang, saying, "The ring on your left hand contains the Hundred Herbs Classic, and the ring on your right hand contains several pots of healing and lifesaving pills. Several pots of these pills can save your life in critical moments. Choose one."
Wu Wang didn't even think about it and directly chose the ring with the pills on his right hand.
Shen Nong's face turned black.
"Teaching someone to fish is better than giving them fish. Don't you understand this principle?"
"Of course, I understand," Wu Wang smiled. "But I don't like alchemy. Moreover, the Hundred Herbs Classic written by Senior should not be kept secret. Even if it is a rare alchemy method in the Human Realm, there are other ways to obtain it. But the same pill recipe, the effects produced by different people are not the same. The pills you refined, Senior, are treasures that are hard to find in the world. Although they may seem like just a few pills, they are life-saving for a small shrimp like me with shallow cultivation."
Shen Nong suddenly smiled and threw the ring with the pills to Wu Wang."Take it, two rings, one yin and one yang, wear them on both hands at the same time, you can conceal your aura, break some low-level formations, put them on first."
"Thank you, senior!"
Wu Wang quickly refined the rings and put them on his fingers, and then put all the other storage treasures into them.
The treasure bestowed by the Human Emperor was indeed a good thing, and the space inside was just one word - big!
He asked with a little doubt, "Why, senior, are you going to drive me away with your attitude?"
"Go meditate."
Shen Nong spoke warmly, "I am going on a journey to find a way to break through the limit of lifespan. I will enlighten you and help you step into the realm of Condensing Elixir."
Wu Wang frowned and said, "Will there be any side effects from being enlightened? I think it's better to steadily cultivate..."
Shen Nong smiled and said, "Focus."
Wu Wang couldn't control himself and slowly closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged on the ground, with qi swirling around him.
Shen Nong raised his hand and summoned the Yan Emperor's token floating behind Wu Wang, drew a fiery red character, and the Yan Emperor's token instantly shone brightly, turning into a ball of fire and drilling into Wu Wang's chest.
Clear and obscure, floating and ethereal.
Wu Wang "opened his eyes," but found himself surrounded by white mist, as if sitting in the clouds, in a dream.
Strands of fire gathered from under him and drilled out of the clouds, condensing into the Yan Emperor's token wrapped in pale flames in front of him.
In that instant, layers of enlightenment emerged in Wu Wang's heart, and the Dao fruit was like ripe red dates in autumn, easily picked by him.
Not only that, the mana running in his body became purer, and strands of pure fire spiritual power gathered from his sea of qi, sweeping over his body like a storm.
Whoosh...
Countless tongues of fire burst out from all over Wu Wang's body, and his clothes almost instantly turned into ashes, but his hair was not damaged.
"Wu Wang, remember this. If your strange illness breaks out completely before you reach the ninth realm, or if you can no longer reach the ninth realm... it's not bad to learn how to enjoy it."
Wu Wang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the kind old man in front of him with a smile on his face. He was about to say something, but was pressed on the chest by the old man's palm.
The ashes all over his body immediately dispersed, and ripples suddenly appeared in the void.
Before Wu Wang could say a word, the light around him receded, and his senses were cut off.
Splash!
Wu Wang, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly fell into the water. The force of the old man's slap had not completely dissipated, and the universe had already turned, moving countless miles away!
Wu Wang instinctively reached out and grabbed two smooth wooden boards on both sides, choking on water twice before rushing out of the not-so-deep water.
This is a bath?
Wu Wang sat up straight and felt his naked body. He subconsciously pressed the necklace on his chest and was about to take out clothes to put on when his spiritual sense spread out in all directions.
This was a man-made cave, with green curtains hanging on the stone walls, and the bathtub he was in was behind a screen, somewhat hidden...
At that moment!
His spiritual sense suddenly caught a flash of green lightning shooting out of the cave entrance!In an instant, Wu Wang made a response, and the ring flickered with a faint light as a crystal ball flew out and exploded in an instant.
Starlight flashed, and an ice wall appeared out of nowhere!
But the ice wall shattered the moment it formed, and a spear with residual images brought layers of ice chips, piercing straight towards Wu Wang's neck!
Ding!
There was no splashing of blood, but the spear was knocked away with a few sparks!
A thin layer of ice crystals appeared on Wu Wang's body.
However, the ice crystals were blue in color, and despite being hit head-on by the spear carrying the force of wind and thunder, there were only a few ice marks.
Looking at the other end of the spear, a slender hand was holding it, and the owner of the hand, a woman in armor, had sharp ice cones pressed against her face, ankles, neck, and waist. Any slight movement would result in serious injury.
Wu Wang coughed and secretly congratulated himself for spending a lot of time figuring out several emergency protection plans after failing to catch his mother's necklace last time.
Full protection with no dead angles.
His body was now shining bald.
Wu Wang was a young man who loved to learn, especially to discover the strengths of his friends. His calmness and composure at this moment were learned from Ji Mo, his senior brother. He smiled gently and looked up along the armor skirt, seeing the face of the woman who was frowning and staring at him.
He had to say something.
"Cough, I am Wu Wang, a small cultivator from the Human Realm. As for why I am sitting in your bathtub, Miss, I think you can give me a moment to think of a proper excuse."
Dang! Dang dang~
The spear in the woman's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
A faint golden light surged around her, and the ice cones broke directly. Wu Wang's heart felt a warning.
She's a master?
Uh, she's still a female master staring at his vital points with wide eyes and heavy breathing...
Wu Wang quickly added more layers of ice crystals to himself, turning the bathtub into an ice bucket, and turning over to jump to the corner, pulling out a robe from his storage magic treasure to block in front of him.
"Miss, my innocence is also innocent!"
The woman's voice trembled slightly, "Are you a man?"
Wu Wang blushed, "It's obvious. If our definition of a man is correct, then I should be..."
Suddenly he thought of something.
Here, could it be...he was directly sent to the Kingdom of Women by Master Shen Nong?
The woman in armor's eyes shimmered, "Where are you from?"
"From Dongtu...ahem, from the Human Realm."
"It doesn't matter!"
The woman suddenly shouted, "Melt yourself and let me see!"
Wu Wang:...
As a male cultivator wandering in the Great Wasteland, he must always protect himself. He gathered his qi and shouted sternly, "Friend, your request is a bit excessive. As a member of the human race, we should respect education and culture. The difference between men and women is the beginning of civilization! As we belong to different sexes and meet for the first time, how can we directly judge each other's bodies!"
The woman in armor was so frightened by his serious expression that she turned around and snorted, "It's just a man. He looks so different from us. I'll turn around."
"Please!"Wu Wang shook his arm, and the woman stepped back a few steps on the ice debris before turning around.
Hearing the rustling sound behind her, the woman frowned slightly and suddenly thought of something.
Wait a minute, this is her home!
"You ran to my house naked, and you..."
The woman suddenly turned around, but saw that the man in front of her had already tidied up... He was dressed in a green long robe, wearing golden-edged cloud boots on his feet, his long hair tied up with a headband, and holding a folding fan in his hand, gently swaying it.
He swayed with elegance and grace.
"Friend, is this the Kingdom of Women in the West Wilderness?"
