The entire small hall was silent. Everyone was still staring at the jade talisman in Old Man Zhao's hand.

Judging from its appearance, this was an ordinary piece of jade. It was entirely possible that it was a product of advanced technology from the modern era.

This scene could be said to have completely overturned the common sense of everyone present.

Even Elder Bao, who had already experienced Old Man Zhao's abilities, was dumbstruck and unable to speak for a long time. Even the knowledgeable Qian Jianjun was also dumbfounded.

Following Old Man Zhao's gaze, Qian Jianjun saw the fl.u.s.tered Han Jinsong with a slight frown. Qian Jianjun unhappily said, "Who was disrespectful to Master Zhao just now? Stand forward and apologize."

As a business mogul in the Cloud Region, Han Jinsong's father, Han Lei, was also sitting at Qian Jianjun's table. When he saw Han Jinsong's appearance, he immediately knew that the one who spoke rudely was his precious son.

Han Jinsong was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly stood up and frantically said, "Yes …" I'm sorry Master Zhao, I didn't mean to offend you! "

"What nonsense!" Han Lei fiercely glared at his precious son, then put on a smile and said to Old Man Zhao with a hint of flattery, "Master Zhao, my son is spouting nonsense, please don't take it to heart. It's all because of my lack of understanding, I toast you, please forgive me!"

Han Lei stood up first with the bottle of wine. Without waiting for Old Man Zhao to speak, he lifted his head and poured a full cup of white wine into his mouth. He didn't dare to urge Old Man Zhao to drink, so he sat back down.

Qian Jianjun said at the right time, "Master Zhao, this junior doesn't understand the rules. I've let you down."

Old man Zhao's expression eased a little, but his words were still full of force: "Our country is rich in goods and materials, and we don't even know the number of outstanding people. "Since you are so young, you should learn to be humble and courteous. Learn more and don't use your shallow knowledge to show off. Otherwise, you might not even know how you died in the end."

Only then did old man Zhao withdraw his gaze. Han Jinsong was also able to sit back down. It had only been a minute or so, but his underwear was already soaked in sweat and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Old man Zhao nodded, "I just checked on your teacher. Three years ago, I used a secret technique to trigger that trace of innate origin energy in his body, allowing him to extend his life for another three years. But now, he is old and weak, and that trace of innate energy has already been exhausted. There are only two ways to extend your life. "

"The first method is to hire experts to cleanse his body, reconstruct his body, and allow him to die. Naturally, this method will extend his lifespan. The second method, would also require the help of experts. Using a heaven-defying art, one would be able to infuse a wisp of innate energy into the user's body, but no matter what method it is, the user would have to expend a lot of energy.

Qian Jianjun looked disappointed, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he continued to ask, "Master Zhao, I just heard you mention the seniors in the sect, do you know if the seniors you mentioned are still alive? If he is willing to help extend teacher's lifespan, I am willing to personally visit and invite him out of the sect. No matter what request I have, I will do my best to help him do it. "

When Bao Songlin heard this, he was shocked and said emotionally, "Jian Jun, you don't have to be like this. I've already lived long enough. Even if I die, I won't have any regrets."

Qian Jianjun held Bao Songlin's hand and smiled, "Teacher, don't say that. Gonggong, you are the pillar of our Cloud Prefecture. As long as you are here, all of our Cloud Prefecture's businesses can advance by leaps and bounds without any worries. Privately, you are not only my teacher, but also my father, so as long as there is a sliver of hope, we will not give up. "

Qian Jianjun's words weren't exaggerated at all. Although Bao Songlin lived in a remote corner and had never held an important leaders.h.i.+p position, many of his comrades from the past had held high positions, and some of them were even senior figures in the country. Therefore, to the Cloud Prefecture, Bao Songlin was indeed a priceless treasure, and as long as there was a sliver of hope, Qian Jianjun definitely did not want any problems with Bao Songlin.

Old man Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "I can't agree to this at the moment, so I must first ask for my sect's elders."

Hearing this, Qian Jianjun was overjoyed, "Of course, of course. Master Zhao, let me toast you again. At the same time, I thank you on behalf of my teacher!"

"Really?" Old man Zhao immediately put down his wine cup and stood up. "Hurry, bring me to him."

Qian Jianjun hurriedly asked, "Master Zhao, did something happen?" If you need help, just ask. "

Old Man Zhao said, "I'm sorry, but my disciple just told me that the elder from my sect is outside in the hall. I want to pay him a visit first. Everyone, I'll be taking my leave first! "

Once he said this, everyone in the room stood up, including Bao Songlin, and followed Old Man Zhao and the others out of the room.
