How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Um……"

Hongli nodded and was about to close the door: "If there's nothing else, Mom can go back to sleep..."

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Huo quickly grabbed the door.

"Ok?"

Hongli yawned, tears welling in her eyes, and asked dejectedly, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, yes, Little Fire wants to know more..."

Xiao Huo held up his second finger: "Do you need me to bring food back for Mom and Dad? How much do they want to eat? One bowl? Two bowls?"

"!!!"

As soon as Xiao Huo finished speaking, Hong Li's eyes lit up. With a "Oh ho!" she reached out and lifted Xiao Huo up before Xiao Huo could react, tears of emotion streaming down her face. "Xiao Huo, if you say this, Mom won't be sleepy anymore!"

You're such a good daughter, thinking of your parents who are still hungry. I'm so glad I spoiled you, Xiao Huo. Come here, let Mommy give you a kiss, muah~

"Hehehe, Xiao Huo is definitely a good girl!"

Little Fire was lifted up by Hong Li, her little face close to Hong Li's mouth, laughing as she kicked her little legs wildly in the air: "Okay, okay, Mom, tell Little Fire how much to eat."

Then Xiao Huo set off, not wanting to keep Grandma waiting too long.

"Oh, my mom knows how much Hei Yang and I eat. Just say it and she'll understand."

Hongli chuckled, put the little fire back on the ground, and waved her hand, saying, "Have a safe journey! Oh, and don't forget the little wooden puppet!"

"I know~"

Little Fire jumped out of the house happily, and with Hong Li's senses, it skipped and hopped into the yard, and then spread its wings and flew away!

"This girl..."

Hongli leaned against the door, looked up, and saw through the roof. She heard the faint, joyful cry of a crane and couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.

She turned around and gently closed the door, pulled off her coat and put it aside, then with a "whoosh," she darted back to lie down next to Hei Yang.

"This day..."

Hongli stretched comfortably, pulled Heiyang's arm over from the side, covered her lower abdomen with his palm, and sighed leisurely, "Every day is so happy and blissful...so comfortable!"

This is why she desperately wanted to return from Five Elements City with Hei Yang; she knew where the happiness she sought lay.

Yes, not outside, but with her family and loved ones, right here in Five-Colored City! Five-Colored City! Colored City! City! (Echo)

A happy marriage, a harmonious family, no worries about food or drink, sleeping with the super soft Black Sun every day, having everything done for you... Oh my god! Is this paradise?

At this moment, Hong Li's thoughts drifted to all sorts of strange and wonderful places, and she suddenly thought of her friends from the Five Elements Sect.

When they were about to leave, they felt a little sorry for themselves. Jin Dan was only seventeen years old and had a bright future ahead of her. She should have been working hard, but instead she went to find a man. It was truly lamentable!

Ha, you are not glass, how can you know the joy of glass?

In Hong Li's eyes, those sect disciples who have to work hard every day to cultivate and rack their brains to study supernatural powers are the ones living in hell!

Feeding spirit beasts, planting spirit herbs, sweating profusely in the sweltering alchemy furnace, worrying about food poisoning while eating, being coveted by evil forces when traveling, and being suddenly summoned forcibly to hold a small meeting from time to time...

Tsk tsk, although it's very immoral, just thinking about how miserable their lives were makes Hongli feel even happier and more comfortable.

Yes, happiness is something you discover through comparison...

I wonder what Xiaoyun is doing right now?

Is it a serious and arduous retreat for spiritual practice in a secluded room?

Or will you experience thrilling and exciting adventures in snow-capped mountains and forests?

Or perhaps they're engaged in a thrilling and intense battle on the sect's arena.

Oh, by the way, that "Kids Fighting, Adults Watching and Having Fun" tournament, which is probably the umpteenth edition of the cultivation world, is about to begin. If Xiaoyun participates, she should be able to shine on stage, right?

Hongli drifted off to sleep as she pondered these thoughts...

"Is this the Five Elements City?"

Hong Butian, who had been out of the public eye for a long time, and Zhao Zhuji, who had also been out of the public eye for a long time, walked side by side with the team leader, Elder, on the main street of Five Elements City.

Hong Butian, now channeling Liu Grandma's curiosity, looked around with a face full of wonder: "It's completely different from Five-Colored City and the Royal Capital. Cultivators with their spirit beast companions passing by from time to time don't attract much attention..."

"Oh, of course."

Zhao Zhuji nodded with a proud look on her face and said smugly, "Next to Five Elements City is the Five Elements Sect, a great immortal sect. Now it has been promoted to a holy land of cultivation like my Boundless Sword Sect. The residents at the foot of the mountain naturally have plenty of opportunities to meet cultivators."

Naturally, unlike in other ordinary cities, they won't casually call a Qi Refining cultivator like you an Immortal Master. Even here, a young Foundation Establishment cultivator like me stands out from the crowd!

Do you even understand the value of being a personally instructed disciple?! Oh ho ho ho!

"Hey, you don't have to emphasize my level of attainment every time!"

Hong Butian said speechlessly, "I've only been a beginner for a short time, and I'm already at the third level of Qi Refining, which is already quite impressive. Even that old man who's always floating around says I'm very talented!"

"Who are you calling a drifting old man?!"

The former Grand Elder of the Medicine King Sect suddenly emerged from underground, exuding a ghostly aura. He glared at Hong Butian with ill intent: "If I hadn't kindly brought you here to broaden your horizons, you'd still be locked up in the Boundless Sword Sect, miserably cultivating! And now you dare to insult me?"

"Ah...that's true...haha..."

Hong Butian chuckled twice, then looked speechless and lowered his voice to say, "But speaking of which, the rules of the Wuliang Sword Sect are really strict. Even a model student like me is feeling quite stifled."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here!"

Zhao Zhuji couldn't help but speak up: "You're secretly talking bad about the sect in front of me, huh? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up!"

"That's exactly right, just stating the facts. It's not only strict, but also quite strange!"

Hong Butian looked at the spear behind him with a black line on his face and couldn't help but complain, "What? I have to put the whole 'scabbard' on my spear, um, my longsword, otherwise it's considered a violation of the sect rules. How strange!"

"Ah this..."

Zhao Zhuji's breath hitched, and she revealed her crescent-shaped eyes, whispering in defense, "Although, but, after all, we are called the Sword Sect!"

"..."

Hong Butian rolled his eyes, said nothing more, and continued to look around with an eager expression: "Now that we're finally out, I have to see as much as I can!"

"Don't let your guard down too much!"

Zhao Zhuji raised an eyebrow: "But it's not a bad thing for you to come out with me. After all, if I'm not in the sect keeping an eye on you, who knows if you'll slack off and neglect your cultivation?"

"Wow, I've said it so many times, it was an accident, I just got too into character!"

Hong Butian sighed: "I'm not that kind of person. There's someone else who is!"

"Nonsense! I've never seen anyone lazier than you!"

"You're just inexperienced..."

"you!"

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Don't let outsiders laugh at your sect."

"Puff, pshaw," the Grand Elder pointed to the white-haired, white-browed elder leading the group ahead and said leisurely, "Stay close to your Boundless Sword Sect's Golden Core Realm elder, don't fall behind."

"I know, I know, you don't need to tell me that."

Hong Butian waved his hand, turned to look at the Grand Elder with a suspicious expression, and asked, "But why did you come along? I heard that the Medicine King Sect Master and the elders have reunited and are rebuilding the sect. Shouldn't you have gone with them?"

"You can go anytime."

The elder looked down at himself, his gaze deep and unfathomable: "I wanted to take advantage of this gathering of various forces to inquire if there was any expert who could help me reshape my body. I don't want to just keep drifting around like this."

"Huh? Does the Boundless Sword Sect have no solution?"

"They have many ways to destroy my remnant soul."

"Ah, that's okay."

"You kid..."

The Grand Elder sighed and looked up at Five Elements Mountain again: "By the way, I found out that the former sect leader is here."

So I came here to ask her in person, to ask her if she still wants to take charge of our Medicine King Sect.

"Well……"

…………

"Gah gah! Gliding descent! Gliding descent! Gliding puff, ah!"

Xingyun's scream came from near Wuxing Mountain. A less-than-perfect parabola streaked across the sky, hanging Xingyun and Gaga on the branches of a giant tree.

"Bah!"

Xingyun spat out the leaf from her mouth, gave a thumbs-up to the dazed Gaga, and praised, "Gaga, well done! You did a great job this time. With a little more practice, we'll be able to fly to Five Colors City to play with Sister Hongli and the others!"

"Gaga! Let's play!"

"That's right, that's the spirit!"

Xingyun nodded in satisfaction, looked at the Five Elements City not far away, scratched her cheek, and her eyes were full of fighting spirit: "But before that, I heard that the senior brothers and sisters from other sects have almost arrived. There must be many disciples with high cultivation levels among them that I can challenge! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

"Gah! Blood is boiling! It's exhilarating!"
