On the Ao Zang Mountain, the northernmost mountain in Jueyunjian, a crane with flowing blue feathers stood there quietly.

His calm eyes seemed to explain that everything in the world is just passing clouds. Seeing his old friend coming, Master Liuyunjiefeng flashed and turned into a human form.

This arrogant and talkative crane turned into a human with a good-looking face. His black hair was tied behind his head with a hairpin, and the back of the drapery on his shoulders had an indescribable fairy-like feeling.

The legs, which are slightly longer than normal, are covered with black socks, and the feet are wearing high heels that appear for unknown reasons, and they are graceful.

She gently pushed the frame of her red glasses and sat down at the stone table engraved with "The clouds reside here" and "Sit here until the end". In private, this immortal seemed to often transform into human form.

"You are quite punctual. Come and taste the fine wine that I have collected for many years. It tastes delicious!" True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng took the round cup and filled it with sake.

"Especially Mo Ran, he didn't even drink a glass of wine when we got together in Gechenlang City. Don't even think about running away today!"

"Well...well, I really can't drink alcohol, Liuyun, please don't make things difficult for me. Give it to Guizhong! I'll just drink tea." Mo Ran rushed to the teapot beside him and made himself a cup of tea.

"You guy, how come only Gui Zhong and I can drink this fine wine that the immortal specially dug out for you!" Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng pushed the wine glass in front of Mo Ran and refused to give up.

Gui Zhong advised: "Okay, Liuyun, if Xiaoran doesn't want to drink, forget it, we can just drink it."

"Humph, other humans at Mo Ran's age can drink at least five or six cups, but he doesn't drink at all. Is there something wrong with his body?"

Master Liuyun Jiefeng looked serious and cast his eyes towards the young man who was drinking tea.

"Pfft! Cough cough...Liu Yun, don't talk nonsense, I'm not sick! I just don't want to drink." Mo Ran wiped his mouth and explained.

"Words are useless. Drink a glass and show me!"

"Don't drink."

After that, no matter what Master Liuyun Jiefeng said, Mo Ran remained unmoved. He drank his tea by himself and watched the fat Qilin eating Qingxin in the distance.

Just when I was free and had nothing to do, an inopportune sound came from the system.

[System-issued task: Learn the immortal arts of Master Liuyun Jiefeng to the point where you can use them proficiently.]

[Reward for successful mission: Heaven-measuring stone. ]

[Penalty for mission failure: Another mission is judged as failed. ]

Mo Ran forced himself to suppress the beautiful words in his heart and said, "Liu Yun, can you lend me your immortal manual or something?"

"What!" True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was startled, and Guizhong was also somewhat puzzled. True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng continued, "Although my magic is not a secret method, it is not something that can be seen just because you want to."

"What's more, you don't even give me face. You want to see my magic book? Don't even think about it!" True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng turned his head away and didn't look at her.

In order to complete the task, Mo Ran had no choice but to say nice things to praise Master Liuyun Jiefeng to the sky. Even Master Liuyun Jiefeng couldn't hold back and couldn't help but say, "Hehe... ahem, don't think that I will change my mind just because you say a few nice words."

"If you want to borrow a book, I will only lend it to you if you...if you drink this jar of wine." Master Liuyun Jiefeng pointed to the jar of wine on the stone table and looked at him quietly.

"..Okay." Mo Ran took a deep breath. Anyway, he didn't drink just because he didn't want to make a fool of himself. What's more, he could use elemental power to remove the effects of alcohol. He just didn't want to make trouble before.

In a blink of an eye, a jar of wine was drunk. Unlike dandelion wine, this wine did not give the mouth and throat a burning sensation.

A warm current spread throughout his body and his head felt dizzy. Mo Ran used elemental power to try to remove the effects of the alcohol but found that it was ineffective. A presence that should have been fairy air stopped him.

"Uh..." Mo Ran's eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.

…………

When he woke up, Mo Ran found himself lying on a stone bed. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and Gui Zhong were sitting not far away. When they saw Mo Ran waking up, they came over.

"Xiaoran, how are you? Are you still dizzy?" Gui Zhong asked with concern.

"You're awake now, so nothing should happen. But I didn't expect that a jar of wine would keep you asleep for two days." Liu Yun checked him and found nothing wrong. "You still need to practice your alcohol tolerance!"

"Please spare me!" Mo Ran held his forehead and said, "By the way, Master Liuyun Jiefeng, your immortal book..."

"It's all here, take it!" Master Liuyun Jiefeng waved his wings and dropped a few rolls of plain paper. "This immortal is good at talismans. This art requires a calm mind to achieve success."

"You should be able to... After all, when you're drunk you're more obedient than usual, you don't even move. If it were someone else, they would have turned my place upside down long ago."

"Haha, just kidding."

…………

From then on, time passed quickly, like running water, never to return.

A few years later, Mo Ran had created eighteen mechanical devices, and he only needed two more to complete the task.

He also did not neglect the cultivation of elemental power, and his life span increased by several hundred years compared to before. He would also exchange cooking skills with Marcosius on a regular basis, and the two of them would often cook together when all the immortals gathered.

On a small hill near Gui Zhong's residence, Mo Ran held his breath and concentrated, holding a talisman between his fingers. After a gust of wind, he threw the talisman out.

Bang!

The talisman exploded instantly, creating a hole. Ice wrapped around the ground, emitting bursts of cold smoke.

Then, the system's voice came.

[The mission has been completed, and the reward has been sent to the storage space. ]

[Sky-measuring stone: After being injected with immortal power, it can change its size at will. When it is at its largest, it can measure the entire sky. Its hardness is comparable to the rock marrow of the rock demon Morax.]

Mo Ran looked at the introduction and thought: "But this thing doesn't seem to be of any use to me! Liu Yun's talisman magic is not as powerful as my elemental power and mechanical creations, what's the point of learning it?"

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find the answer, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He stretched his arms and legs and returned to his residence.

Gui Zhong was drinking tea there while looking at the blueprints of Mo Ran's mechanical creations. "In just a few years, he has made more than a dozen mechanisms with almost no defects. Even if Liu Yun came, he would probably have to admit defeat!"

"However, your latest item is called the Dust-Repellent Bead. Are you trying to avoid me?" Gui Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a smile.

Although he knew it was a joke, Mo Ran still replied seriously: "How is that possible! The Dust-Repelling Beads are meant to repel dust in the house, not you."

"What do you mean old? I'm only a few hundred years older than you at most. Sigh! You have a great talent for mechanical engineering, you cook delicious food, and you live with me. Liuyun and Aping are so jealous of you!"

Mo Ran shrugged and spread his hands, pretending to be helpless, and said, "What can I do? You can't ask me to move to a new place every day!"

"So..." Gui finally opened her beautiful eyes and said something shocking, "How about you, Xiaoran, recognize me as your sister? Then when I see Aping and Liuyun in the future, I will be superior to them."

"This..." Mo Ran didn't want to, after all, having a demon like this as a sister was something many people dreamed of. It was just that he couldn't understand why Gui Zhong suddenly had this idea.

"How about it? Have you thought about it? I really want to see the expressions of Ping and Liuyun when they hear you call me sister."

Since Gui Zhong said so, Mo Ran naturally had no reason to be unwilling, "Sister Gui Zhong!"

"Hey, Xiaoran, be good. I'll teach you mechanical arts later!"

"Why does it sound like you're trying to coax a child?"

"Haha, compared to me, you are really just a child. Children should act like children and behave well, haha!"

Mo Ran did not refute it. After all, it was the truth. He played with Gui Zhong for a while, and then they walked together on this land full of demons.

Because the Demon War has not yet begun, there will generally not be any major battles between the demons. They are basically just sparring and competition.

After landing on a mountain, Gui finally looked at the village in the north. This was his neighbor for many years. In the village, houses were scattered and lined up in all directions. The young and old were all contented and happy.

Strong young men were working in the fields, and women and children brought them fruits to quench their thirst. It was a happy scene.

Gui Zhong suddenly seemed to be interested, "Xiao Ran, I want to protect this village, what do you think?"

"Sister Gui Zhong, what's the point of asking me what you want to do? Even if I tell you no, you will still do it!"

"How clever! I'll go then." Gui finally turned into a wisp of flying dust and landed at the entrance of the village. When people saw the devil coming, they immediately surrounded him.

"Demon God...Master Demon God, is there anything I can help you with? All of us in the village can help!"

"Yes, yes, we are useful, please spare our lives!"

Although most demons are lovers, there are exceptions, especially when it comes to their own life and property, no one dares to take risks.

"You don't have to panic. I came here to protect this village. I have no other intentions. You can rest assured."

"This, Lord Demon said is true! We will live under your protection from now on?!" Everyone was surprised.

Guizhong nodded and said, "It's true. I am the Demon God of Dust, Hagentus. You can just call me Guizhong."

"Greetings, Lord Guizhong! Lord Guizhong, please come in, we will go prepare food right away."

"Master Guizhong, please try the fruit I just picked." A child less than ten years old held high a yellow and red fruit.

"Thank you." Gui Zhong smiled slightly, took the fruit and took a bite. This action made the people around him breathe a sigh of relief, and they were truly relieved...
