Chapter 491 - 68 Immortals Can Be Poor too
Eight hundred years have passed, the vicissitudes of life changing everything, though things remain, people are different.
Yu Hua once said, cultivators also have their own coming-of-age ceremony, for a cultivator, the first coming-of-age is at the age of five hundred.
If one cannot comprehend the Nascent Soul, they will not live past five hundred years. Often, out of ten Golden Cores, only one can reach the Nascent Soul, which means most contemporaries will die. Childhood friends, in high probability, will be less than one in ten, if any.
Most cultivators take disciples when their lifespan is half over, and five hundred years are enough for most elders to die of old age.
"Has it been eight hundred years?"
In Jiang Fugui’s eyes, a faint desolation rose, and a sigh echoed in the empty cave.
To him, eight hundred years was a very long time, so long that he was no longer the merchant from Dragon Bridge, nor the small landowner of Jiang Family Village. He had shed his previous humility and now appeared like a significant figure, like an old cultivator who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Gu Wen could see that today was different from the past, perhaps Jiang Fugui had also changed.
He asked, "How were these eight hundred years?"
"Very good, very good indeed. Thanks to Mr. Wen’s blessing, I lived several hundred years longer than the old Emperor. I once soared to the heavens and dived into the earth, inhaled the wind, and drank the dew, knowing how wonderful it is to be an immortal."
