Chapter 786: Did He Die in the End?
Chen Changsheng smiled. "Back then, even Yan Xun himself believed in Elixir Pills and long life. Why would he have the mind to care about any of this?"
Prince Wei had heard as much. He nodded. "That's true."
He caught himself and asked, "How did we get onto this topic?"
"What's the rush?" Chen Changsheng said.
He continued his story.
"Later, when his imperial brother took the throne, he originally intended to keep King Yu by his side. But by that time, King Yu cared only for seeking out immortals and historic ruins. He slipped out of the palace in secret and traveled the realm."
"He had a lifelong fondness for bamboo and orchids. Not only was he obsessed with Daoist arts, but he was also an accomplished poet and painter. After roaming the world for so long, he gradually made a name for himself. Thus, he took the courtesy name Zhulan, becoming the figure later generations would revere as Mister Zhulan."
Prince Wei asked, "Seeking immortals and ruins—did he actually find them? He probably didn't. If he had, how could he have died back then?"
Chen Changsheng glanced at him. "What if This Chen told you he really did learn Immortal Arts?"
