"Immortality is not a good thing, especially when you have no way to stop the wear and tear of time."
This was the first time for Dyne to meet someone who was so persistent in his pursuit of immortality and put it into action. He gave advice from a person who had experienced it based on his own experience.
"I know this better than anyone. But I have reasons to do this."
Bai Zhu did not take Dain's warning to heart. As the most famous doctor in Liyue, he naturally had a lot of connections.
Whether it was giving him clues about the elixir of immortality or advising him to give up his delusions, there were all of them.
And mostly the latter.
"When you become immortal, you will find that the price it requires is something you cannot expect and cannot bear now." Dain still did not give up the idea of advising Bai Shu.
"Do you know why my medical skills are so superb?"
Bai Shu suddenly asked about this, leaving Dai Yin stunned.
"I don't know, I haven't needed to see a doctor a long time ago."
Dain shook his head. He once knew what herbs could stop bleeding and regenerate bones, and what methods of bandaging could make wounds heal faster.
But now, these have been forgotten in the long river of time.
When Bai Shu heard this, he glanced at Dai Yin meaningfully and continued:
"Firstly, I am familiar with medical books and know the art of Qihuang. Secondly, it is because of my [Er Snake Dragging the Dragon Technique]."
Bai Shu widened his eyes, which had been slightly squinted, and there were two vertical pupils in them.
They looked more like snake's eyes than a human's.
"This [Er Snake Drags the Dragon Technique] is a good technique. It can save people's lives, but it requires my own life."
"Everyone in the past generations died early because of this, and immortality has been passed on to me. Now, it is my turn to suffer this fate."
"But I don't want to die, and I don't want Agui to become a sick man like me at a young age, and I don't want to have eternal life rotate through everyone's hands like a tool."
"This lineage has been passed down to me for a long enough time."
Bai Shu's tone was filled with unshakable determination. No matter what, he also wants to refine the elixir of longevity.
This is not only for myself, but also for possible future "contractors".
They are equally worthy of being saved!
"Don't you want to persuade him?" Dai Yin did not waste any more words with Baizhu. He just glanced at the silent Chang Sheng and asked casually.
"Changsheng? It doesn't need to think about so many things." Bai Zhu shook his head. Changsheng's mind is more like a child, and Bai Zhu doesn't need to think about so many things.
"No, it definitely knows more than you." Dain's tone was also very sure, just like Bai Zhu's just now.
When Changsheng heard this, he was no longer silent. He raised his head, avoided Bai Shu's sight and said, "Baizhu, this guy is right, Changsheng will twist you!"
"Have you noticed that you just said that this snake is like an 'object' that has been rotating in the hands of others? Isn't this the distortion of this snake by Changsheng?" Dine added on the side.
This time Baizhu was silent. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "From what you say, Dain, you seem to have lived for a long time?"
"To a certain extent, it's the same as the immortality you desire." Dain nodded and told Bai Shu directly.
"So..." Bai Zhu pushed up his glasses, looking a little excited.
"So hurry up and give up your immortality to Dyne! It's said that Dyne is more suitable for immortality than you. You don't believe it, and you still have to compete in the debate here."
Ember popped out from between Daine and Bai Shu and said a lot of words.
The argument between Bai Zhu and Dai Yin was so fierce that he didn't even get a chance to interrupt. Out of boredom, Yu Yan even drank all the tea that Bai Zhu made.
Now I have found an opportunity to intervene, so I should make good use of it.
"What do I need this talking snake for? Catching mice underground?" Dain sneered, but he didn't need it.
"Dyne, don't you want to take a shower?"
"what?"
"This snake is the Teardrop Larva, the being that can make you give up martial arts and become a doctor!"
Ember said a lot of words that no one understood.
"Dane, become a doctor!"

The so-called washing point is just what Yu Yan made up in his own mind. A more appropriate term would be soul reshaping.
Rodlan and Junction both have in-depth research on souls, and both have developed soul-reshaping spells in unison.
In essence, this is modifying the texture of the soul while retaining the memory, thereby changing one of the owner's gifts.
Because it can turn a reckless melee warrior into an insidious assassin, and a mentally retarded warrior into a great mage, it is called the "washing point" by Ember.
Of course, Ember also tried some cleaning, and the result was that his weapon changed from a big wooden stick to a big wooden stick that could release magic.
"I have no such idea of giving up martial arts and becoming a doctor!" Although Dai Yin couldn't understand what Yu Jin was saying, he could clearly understand the words "abandoning martial arts and becoming a doctor".
Dai Yin still feels that his strength is not enough, so why would he give up his strength to become a doctor?
"What, you want me to sign a contract with him? I would rather roll up and hibernate in the mountains!"
Changsheng also looked excited. Being with a gloomy guy like Dain, Changsheng had no doubt that it would become like this.
"You two seem a little unfriendly, don't you?" Yi Yan looked at Dyne and Chang Sheng who were facing each other, touched his chin and said:
"Look, Dyne's lifespan is infinite. Coupled with your ability to live forever, you will definitely be the invincible one to rule the world!"
"What devil's remnant, what abyss erosion, isn't that something that can be easily captured?"
"In Liyue's words..., let's say..., what is it called?" Yi Yan began to think deeply.
He learned a lot of common sayings in Liyue and has forgotten them a bit.
After a while, Yi Yan clapped his hands and said what he had not finished.
"It's called immeasurable merit!"
"How?" Yu Yan felt that his idea was a genius. What's wrong with wearing Dyne for longevity? Come and treat each one!
Maybe by then he won't have to do anything about the Qiuqiu people's curses.
"Do you think I'm not miserable enough?" Dain stared at the embers expressionlessly. Now that he had finally adapted to the pain of the curse, he didn't want to experience the pain of the world again.
"Do you think I should change my name to [Short-lived]?" Longevity and Dyne synchronized.
Look what these are saying? Demonic remnants? Abyssal erosion? Is this something it can cure?
Although Atractylodes macrocephala consumes his own vitality to treat diseases, the disease actually passes through Changsheng's body and then enters Atractylodes macrocephala's body.
If the devil's residue alone is not enough, it and Baizhu can still cure it well if there is not much longevity.
As for the erosion of the abyss, Changsheng can only say: There is no hope, just wait to die!
"The reaction was so intense?!" Yu Jin didn't expect Changsheng and Daine to be so excited, and was immediately shocked.
"Haha, it's normal. Everyone has their own preferences. Just like I like to cure diseases and save people and Daine likes to fight, different people have different ideas and the things they value are naturally different."
When Bai Shu saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"I don't like fighting, it's just a last resort." Dain shook his head at Bai Shu.
"I understand, but these are not important. Dain, can you tell me about the 'immortality' you just mentioned?"
In fact, Dain wanted to say to Bai Shu, "This is very important!", but seeing Bai Shu's serious expression, he swallowed his words again.
"You'd better not think about my method of immortality." Dain shook his head.
"Unless you can fly high where no one can."
Dyne also made a joke at the end.
"Is this so..." Bai Zhu looked at the darkness on half of Dain's face, and couldn't tell whether it was his clothes or that half of his face.
[It seems the price is very heavy. 】Baizhu sighed in his heart.
The method of immortality is far away.
There was silence in the small medicine room.
There was a different kind of charm mixed with the aroma of medicine. Standing quietly in it, Dain even felt that his heart was soothed.
"Does this mean... that my trip was in vain?" Yi Yan broke the silence and said so, but there was not much frustration in his tone.
"If you hadn't run away in vain, this would have been a big deal." Dain complained.
He now understood the specific meaning of what Yu Jin said outside Liyue City: "I don't have anything important to do."
"That's not necessarily true." Bai Zhu walked to the window of the medicine room and pointed at the brightly lit Liyue outside the window.
Yu Yan and Dai Yin followed Bai Shu's gaze and saw Liyue decorated with lanterns and colorful lights.
"This seems different from usual?" Yi Yan looked at the scenery outside the window and touched his chin.
Even in Liyue late at night, there is no shortage of lights. But today's scene seems a little different from usual.
The lanterns are no longer brightly lit on both sides of the street as usual, but are hung on hanging ropes above the street.
The light emitted illuminated a larger area and became redder.
The space vacated by the street lanterns was replaced by stacks of goods. At first glance, it looks a bit messy, but upon closer inspection, there is a compact and lively atmosphere.
In this atmosphere, clutter becomes a plus.
Not only the lanterns, but also the pavilions and pavilions in Liyue became even redder. Liyue now is bathed in a red port city.
This red was not the scarlet that Ember thought represented blood and flesh, but a different kind of red that he had never seen before, and it was very festive.
"Hai Lantern Festival, is there such a festival in Liyue?" Dai Yin just glanced at it and knew what day it was in Liyue recently.
Every country has a similar festival, and Dyne has seen it all. For a person who has lived for hundreds of years, the festival can no longer bring him any sense of freshness.
"Of course, a festival with such a good meaning cannot be discontinued in our generation." Bai Shu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the lively scene outside.
The Hai Lantern Festival is a happy, festive and lively festival. It was like this before and it will be like this in the future.
"Sea Lantern Festival, what is that?" Yi Yan was very interested. It was his first time to experience such a festival.
