In truth, how different from Gao Liang's desire to take a well-earned rest? Life truly takes its toll—now is the perfect time to slow down and recharge. No matter what, they always stand firmly behind their husband. Chen Yuting is a master chef. The sisters gathered many wild fruits and vegetables from the mountains, while Gao Liang caught a large carp in the stream. After Chen Yuting's exquisite preparation, a series of delicious dishes were served. The family gathered around the table, chatting and laughing, enjoying meals with a steady, pleasant rhythm. After dinner, Gao Liang headed off to upgrade his fitness routine—his training had been falling behind lately, and he needed to catch up. He performed rapid push-ups on the ground, quickly reaching 10,000, and now aiming for 20,000. Meanwhile, the five wives were enjoying themselves strolling through the mountains behind the house. "Wow! This is a deep pond! The water is so refreshing!" Dong Jiao hadn't seen such clear pond water in a long time. She eagerly scooped a handful and drank it. "So sweet! Even sweeter than spring water!" As董姣spoke, all the sisters began drinking from the spring. But soon, the sisters started feeling dizzy. "Hmm! I feel so sleepy and dizzy!" "I can't open my eyes! I've lost all my strength!" "I don't know where I am! I can't stand!"... The sisters staggered as they walked and struggled to stay upright. At this moment, Gao Liang had just completed his predetermined goal of 20,000 push-ups and exhaled deeply, feeling a wave of relief and lightness throughout his body. When Gao Liang returned to the house, he found several of his wives had gone missing. He immediately went outside to search. Finally, he located the ladies by a dark, deep pool. Now, the women's appearances had changed dramatically—they had grown noticeably older. Ying'er's hair had turned white, and clear signs of fish-eye wrinkles appeared around Zhang Yu Ping, Dong Jiao, Yu Di, and Yu Ting's eyes. Their skin had also lost its brightness and appeared dull. Facing the tranquil pond, gazing at oneself, he noticed the first strands of white hair appearing at his temples. We're all growing old! So quickly, without even realizing it. This realization made Gao Liang understand that, even as a deity, he too had a finite lifespan—much like Ying'er. "Elixir of Immortality!" Gao Liang suddenly remembered the elixir he had previously failed to perfect. This time, it seemed he would finally succeed—not only for himself, but also for his beloved wives. In this pure space, in this exceptional haven, retraining to perfect the Elixir of Immortality was truly the ideal choice. Gao Liang drew forth the portable text, *Art of Alchemy*, and read it carefully, scanning it swiftly with sharp, focused eyes. Suddenly, he spotted a line of text: "The earth possesses vital energy, the heavens too. Relying solely on the earth's energy is insufficient; only when the energies of earth and heaven complement each other and are jointly cultivated can a truly excellent elixir be produced. The heavens bestow longevity!" The Earth also has a lifespan; only by sharing its longevity with heaven and earth, and shining alongside the sun and moon, can one achieve true immortality! High Guang suddenly realized—thus, the Qin Dynasty's attempts to perfect the elixir of immortality had failed, not because of insufficient effort, but simply because they relied solely on earthly energy, which was incomplete. Now, in this pure space of space, where the concepts of time and space can be entirely forgotten, he could focus his energy and fully dedicate himself to refining the elixir of immortality. It was not alarming that his wives and himself were aging. This very fact demonstrated that, in this tranquil realm, he himself was rooted in earthly energy—earthly energy, which belonged to the physical body and was associated with blood and vital energy, both of which are inherently mortal and subject to decay. Therefore, he must now lead his wives in cultivating the true, celestial qi of heaven and earth. High Guang boiled a bowl of distilled water from space, and after consuming it, his wives quickly regained consciousness. Yet, upon looking into the mirrors, they all wept—because they had found themselves aged. High Guang remained calm and said, "My wives! Come with me!" Let's always stay young, always at the age of 18! Let our youth shine forever!" "That's a lie! It's impossible!" Several wives shook their heads. "Zhang Yuping! Show everyone this book, *The Alchemy of Immortality*!" As soon as Gao Liang spoke, Zhang Yuping immediately took the book from him and began explaining it to the sisters. The sisters remained half-doubtful, turning to Gao Liang and asking, "Can we really cultivate the Elixir of Immortality?" "As long as I want to, as long as I put in the effort—I believe, in the universe, nothing is impossible!" Confidence shone in Gao Liang's eyes, revealing determination and strength. The beautiful women silently admired Gao Liang's resolve. "Wives! Starting today, you must be ready to endure hardships—just like Dong Jiao back then. Come with me to climb mountains! Let's train together!" Gao Liang issued his training plan to his wives. "Yes! For our youthful beauty! For eternal youth! Let's train together!" All the beautiful women answered in unison. The following training phase was exceptionally demanding, yet we progressed step by step. However, Yu Di couldn't bear it—this 19-year-old young lady simply couldn't keep up even halfway up the mountain. She began to act petulant, and Gao Liang commanded her to get up, which was quite harsh! It felt just like the grueling military training in university. Dong Qiao encouraged Yu Di, saying, "Just keep going! I'm doing this for all of us! Look! Wow! Your forehead lines are starting to fade!" "Really? Qiao sister!" Turning around, Yu Di called out to Dong Qiao, "Yours too! Perfect! It seems this kind of exercise truly works!" The lines on Ying Er, Zhang Yu Ping, and Chen Yuting all noticeably diminished, and Ying Er also began to see fewer white hairs. Gao Liang led the group up the mountain, and when the bright sunlight illuminated this tranquil landscape, they had finally reached the summit. Under the ancient pine tree that had stood for a thousand years, Gao Liang took a well-earned rest with his five wives. Gao Liang settled into a meditative posture, channeling his energy through his palms into the backs of the women. Especially Zhang Yu Ping, Chen Yu Ting, Dong Jiao, and Yu Di—since they were mortal bodies, they particularly needed the infusion of spiritual essence from the immortal realm. Only when the earthly and heavenly essences converged within them, harmonizing yin and yang and circulating smoothly throughout their bodies would their vitality truly flourish. This indeed caused great concern among the ladies, as the husband's temples had grown noticeably gray, and his appearance no longer reflected the sharp, handsome look of yesteryear. Once so elegant and radiant, he now appeared wan and weathered. Ying'er naturally understood what was happening—this was a clear sign of Gao Liang's spiritual energy being depleted.
