“Brother, do you desire immortality?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin had only one thought: Jing Yuan hadn't completely eradicated the remnants of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus?
So Jiang Lin didn't answer, but the person opposite continued to press.
“Brother, how old are you this year? Are you an adult yet?”
The person opposite seemed to have thought of something, so he changed the question.
“Uh... around 100 years old... I'm an adult.”
Jiang Lin didn't remain silent this time; instead, he decided to listen to what he had to say.
The person opposite suddenly praised him.
“Wow, not bad, brother. You've already obtained adult certification from the Ten-Lords Commission at only around 100 years old.”
“Although you are still young, there are some things I must educate you about.”
“Hmm, go on,” Jiang Lin said, adopting a serious posture.
Seeing Jiang Lin's demeanor, he seemed to suddenly perk up, his tone filled with satisfaction.
“Did you know? Over 80% of Xianzhou natives will suffer from Mara-Struck after 800 years of age.”
“Understood,” Jiang Lin responded calmly.
“And did you know? Over 50% of Xianzhou natives cannot consciously celebrate their 900th birthday.”
“I'm aware.”
“But, you definitely don't know. Over 90% of Xianzhou natives still don't know that the Meditation and Forgetting Therapy can save 100% of Xianzhou natives' later lives!”
“Stop. So, you're here to sell something?”
Jiang Lin interrupted, his face calm.
“Hey, let me finish.
According to research, the root cause of Mara-Struck lies in the excessive accumulation of meaningless memories.
Think about it carefully. Do you really need to remember the names of your childhood playmates?
Do you really need to remember unpleasant past work experiences?
Do you really need to remember every failed romance?
And these memories that you don't need are precisely the culprits behind Mara-Struck!”
“And then?”
Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, looking at a bottle of fine wine the person opposite had stuffed into his arms, and decided to listen to his... promotion.
“Scientific research shows that 60% of the human brain's functions are beyond our control.
For example, heartbeat, breathing, sleep, metabolism, and memory and forgetting.
But in fact, Dr. Kantu, the inheritor of the Meditation and Forgetting Therapy, has already proven to us that memory and forgetting can be artificially controlled.
Dr. Kantu is already 3176 years old this year. Yet he remains sharp-minded and open to advice.
How about it, brother? Tempted?”
Before Jiang Lin could answer, he continued impatiently.
“And now, to give back to our valued customers, Dr. Kantu has launched a limited-time early bird package.
Giving you the opportunity to experience its extraordinary effects before the Meditation and Forgetting Device enters every household.
As the saying goes, early purchase, early enjoyment; late purchase, regret for life. Brother, pick up your Jade Abacus and place your order now.
Our hotline is...”
Hearing this, Jiang Lin turned and left, as if having made some decision.
Seeing this, the person still wanted to keep him.
“Brother, the first 100 lucky customers to call the hotline will also receive a health gift package of rice, noodles, grains, and oil from Baorui Hall.”
“Brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
But Jiang Lin walked faster and faster, quickly putting distance between them.
“No, buddy, if you're not buying, give me back the wine!”
However, the person could no longer find Jiang Lin's figure.
——
At this moment, Dan Heng returned to the Astral Express.
Conductor Pam brought a sheet of letter paper and, after handing it to Dan Heng, couldn't help but complain:
“This letter just suddenly appeared on the Astral Express. Pam must increase the Astral Express's security level, Pam.”
Then he hurried off to clean the Astral Express.
The names of the sender and recipient on the paper were completely absent, only a faint trace of dark ink subtly flashed.
Only after Dan Heng unfolded the letter did the ink appear.
As if an invisible hand, holding a pen like a sword, swiftly and gracefully wrote.
A moment later, the content on the paper returned to its original state.
“Upon hearing of your return home, having averted the ancient sea's peril, you must have regained old memories.
As per our long-standing agreement, we shall revisit old places, recount past events, and share a drink.”
After reading the letter, Dan Heng fell silent... Then he summoned Yunyin and saw the hidden content.
“There are five names, and three prices.”
“It seems to be about Dan Feng's past...”
Unfortunately, Dan Heng held very few memories related to Dan Feng.
So he decided to go to the Divine Might Division.
——
At this moment, Jiang Lin had just stepped into the Divine Might Division when he sensed someone behind him.
It was Dan Heng... “Hmm... Mr. Jiang Lin, are you also here to see Jing Yuan?”
Dan Heng spoke first.
“Hmm, Jing Yuan asked me to help research methods to alleviate Mara-Struck, but he didn't give me suitable materials. Before, it was fine, I wasn't in a hurry.
But now I have some inspiration, and to prevent some ideas from disappearing before they can be verified, I plan to get some... experimental materials.”
Then both looked forward.
They saw several Cloud Knights sternly staring at a woman.
With white hair and a black veil, her graceful figure turned away from them, it was Jingliu.
She was chatting casually with Yanqing, as if no one else was around.
Her words seemed somewhat affectionate.
Until the two of them arrived.
“Ah... I don't usually see so many guests at the Divine Might Division...”
Yanqing was a little helpless, then said to the two:
“Isn't this Mr. Dan Heng and Mr. Jiang Lin? May I ask what brings you two to the Divine Might Division?”
“Excuse us, we indeed have something important to discuss with Jing Yuan.”
Dan Heng took the initiative to answer.
“You two have come at an inconvenient time. The General has important duties and likely won't be available today.
However, he left a message for Mr. Dan Heng before he left... Mr. Dan Heng, do you recognize that person?”
Qingzu interjected.
“I don't know him. Since the General isn't here, I'll come another day.”
Dan Heng said decisively.
Qingzu briefly introduced Jingliu to Dan Heng, then turned to look at Jiang Lin.
“May I ask what brings Mr. Jiang Lin here?”
“Oh, I'm here to find some research materials.”
Jiang Lin spoke calmly.
But Yanqing and Qingzu exchanged glances. If they remembered correctly, this person was invited to research Mara-Struck, right?
Then what materials would he need to personally ask the General for? It couldn't be... people, could it?
Hiss~
The two immediately stopped that terrifying thought in their minds.
“Please allow me to inform the General...”
Meanwhile, Dan Heng was somewhat speechless.
When he spoke to me, it was that the General had important duties, but when it came to him, it was... Never mind, Mara-Struck is of great importance to the Alliance, so it's understandable.
Jiang Lin spoke at this moment.
“No need, I've found the material I'm interested in.”
Then his gaze fell upon Jingliu...
