I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Hong finally cleared the weeds from the mound. After cleaning, Mr. Hong stood up, but his body swayed slightly when he stood up, and his old face looked a little tired. Of course, Mr. Hong's tiredness was not physical, but mental. After standing up, Mr. Hong looked up at the young man, and then took out a blue bead from his dantian. The bead was emitting a light blue light and was the size of a billiard ball. The young man's face became solemn when he saw the blue bead in Mr. Hong's hand, because he knew what it was. This was a magic pill, Mr. Hong's magic pill. The young man didn't know why Mr. Hong took out his own magic pill. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Mr. Hong say. "It's getting late, and you should go back. When you go back, help me give this to Qiu Yan. This is what I promised him. When his light attribute spiritual power reaches level 100, I will let him practice water attribute spiritual power." After saying that, the magic pill in Mr. Hong's hand slowly floated towards the young man.

"Old Hong, you...!" The young man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Old Hong. He waved his hand and said to the young man, "I know what you want to say. Although the elixir is equivalent to the existence of life for a cultivator, I am dying now, and it is useless for me to have this elixir. Besides, after I die, this elixir will disturb my peace anyway. Instead of that, I might as well help that kid again." Old Hong wanted to give his elixir to Qiu Yan. This was decided by Old Hong after Qiu Yan told Old Hong that he wanted to cultivate water-attributed spiritual power. Otherwise, Old Hong would not agree to Qiu Yan, because except for his own water-attributed elixir, he had no other water-attributed elixir for Qiu Yan to practice. Without the assistance of the elixir, it would be very difficult to cultivate a spiritual power that is not suitable for oneself, and it would be almost impossible to achieve success. But with the elixir, it would be different. Even the elixir of a first-level great spiritual master can allow the cultivator to sense the spiritual power attribute that is not suitable for him, thereby starting the road of cultivation. Although the process will still be difficult, it is much easier than starting from scratch.

The young man understood what Mr. Hong meant. He knew very well what the elixir did for the cultivators. Generally speaking, after a cultivator dies, he will find a place to sleep for himself, just like a Holy Spirit Master will open up a space for himself as his sleeping place. However, cultivators who have not reached the level of Holy Spirit Master cannot open up a space as their sleeping place. They can only find a secluded place on the continent as their grave after death. Just like the secret realm, even the lowest cultivators will have something buried with them after death. For example, cultivators above level 100 will have an elixir in their bodies at the very least. This has led to the existence of people on this continent who specialize in finding tombs and stealing elixir. These people are called tomb robbers. Although both the beastmen and the human races prohibit this behavior, there are still many people willing to take this risk under the huge benefits. Therefore, Mr. Hong's behavior of handing over the elixir at this time is actually correct. Without the elixir, ordinary tomb robbers will not be idle to harass the dead. After all, in their eyes, a cultivator who has not even formed an elixir will not have anything good, and they are too lazy to risk being beheaded to rob tombs.

The young man who understood all this was still a bit hesitant to take away Old Hong's elixir, but after thinking about it, for the sake of Old Hong and his family's peace after death, the young man nodded, then put Old Hong's elixir away and said to Old Hong, "Well! Don't worry, I will give this elixir to him after he reaches level 100 of the light attribute."

After the young man finished speaking, Old Hong smiled, then turned around and looked into the distance before continuing, "Well, it's almost time, you should go back. Now that the Lord of Dongtian is dead, the Dongtian Mountains are in a sensitive period. If people find out that you are in the Dongtian Mountains, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

The young man also understood what Mr. Hong said. Although the Lord of Dongtian was dead, it did not mean that there was no one in the Dongtian Mountains. There were still several great elders of the eighth rank in charge in the Dongtian Mountains. At this time, they should all be competing for the position of the beast master. If he appeared in the Dongtian Mountains at this time, it would be inevitable that people would misunderstand that he was here to snatch the position of the beast master. In addition, the Dongtian Mountains and the Xitian Mountains have always been at odds. If they misunderstood him, it would be very troublesome. The last time the young man came here to pick wild vegetables for Mr. Hong, he also came after disguising himself, for fear of causing trouble. This time, because he left in a hurry, the young man did not disguise himself, so he was likely to be discovered by the patrolling Dongtian guards, and it would be hard to say at that time. But even so, the young man was still unwilling to leave, because he knew that Mr. Hong had little time left, and he wanted to stay to accompany Mr. Hong for the last journey, at least to help Mr. Hong arrange his funeral before leaving. So the young man who thought of this said to Mr. Hong, "It's troublesome, these troubles are nothing compared to being able to send you on your last journey."

It seemed that Mr. Hong had long guessed what the young man would say. He smiled after hearing what the young man said, and then said to the young man, "If you are not afraid of trouble, then aren't all the people in Xitian City afraid of trouble? You must know that you are now the Lord of Xitian, and everything you do represents the Xitian Mountains. If you let the entire Xitian Mountains share the trouble with you because of me, then I will not rest in peace even if I die. In addition, my old bones can only hold on for a few more days. I have never come back to accompany them or talk to them for thousands of years, so I want to take advantage of these few days to accompany them and talk to them." When Mr. Hong said this, he looked at the pile of stones next to him. Hearing what Mr. Hong said, the young man didn't know how to respond. He didn't want to go back just like that, but he didn't want to disturb Mr. Hong's time with his family and children. After thinking about it, the young man said to Mr. Hong, "Mr. Hong, I won't disturb you from being with your family, but I want to see you off for the last time. At least let me help you with your funeral before going back."

Hearing the young man say this, Old Hong waved his hand and said, "No need, having them accompany me is enough. Besides, I don't need you to take care of my funeral. Although I have taken the elixir, the spiritual power in my body is still enough to take care of my own funeral, so you don't need to worry about these things. Go back and be your master of the West Heaven. I will be relieved if you manage the West Heaven City well, otherwise my ghost will come to find you!"

After hearing what Master Hong said, the young man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Master Hong. "Okay, no need to say anything. I understand your feelings. I, Hong Tiansheng, have met a friend like you in my life, and my life is not in vain. Go! Please take good care of my apprentice and Xitian City for me. Finally, I also hope that you can let go of your obsession as soon as possible and live happily in this world, instead of living your whole life with obsession like me." After saying that, Master Hong turned around and didn't want to say anything more to the young man.

When the young man saw Mr. Hong turn around, his eyes couldn't help but become moist. Although he had always said that Mr. Hong was his friend, in fact, his relationship with Mr. Hong was far more than just a friend. However, he didn't say anything more at this time. Although he wanted to stay and see Mr. Hong off for the last time, based on his understanding of Mr. Hong, Mr. Hong would not let him stay, so he didn't waste any more words at this time, as that would only waste Mr. Hong's time with his family. So the young man who understood this just bowed deeply to Mr. Hong respectfully, and then said, "Mr. Hong! I have written down everything you said, don't worry!" The young man paused, and then continued, "I will come to see you!" After that, the young man stood up and left directly. And until the young man left, Mr. Hong didn't turn around. He just sighed deeply, and then began to sort out the pile of stones in front of him again.

The young man and Hong met in a secret realm more than a thousand years ago. At that time, the young man was only in his teens and had just transformed from a spirit beast into a human form. At that time, Old Hong was already an eighth-level great spiritual master. The two found the elixir of the master of the secret realm at the same time in the secret realm. It was an elixir of a first-level holy spirit master. It stands to reason that in this world where the strong are respected, the young man should give up the elixir for self-protection when he and Old Hong found the elixir at the same time, but the young man did not. However, he also knew that the difference between his strength and Old Hong's was too great. If he competed with him, it would definitely be fruitless, and he might even die on the spot. So the young man begged Old Hong to give him the elixir, and said that if Old Hong could agree to give him the elixir, he would be willing to do anything for Old Hong. At that time, Old Hong was already an eighth-level great spiritual master. Naturally, he did not need a first-level great spiritual master to help him do anything, but he was very curious about the young man's courage to beg him for the elixir, so he asked the young man the reason, and the young man told Old Hong why he begged Old Hong for the elixir. It turned out that the young man had a beloved who was trapped in the furnace of the sky fire, and to save her, he had to reach the realm of the Holy Spirit Master, so the young man didn't want to miss the opportunity to make him stronger. In addition, the elixir they found had the same wood attribute as the young man's spiritual power, which was very helpful for the young man's cultivation and improvement. So the young man would rather take the risk and ask Mr. Hong to give him the elixir, the purpose is to improve his strength as soon as possible and then rescue his love. At first, Mr. Hong didn't believe what the young man said, so he checked the young man's memory. In checking the young man's memory, Mr. Hong found that what the young man said was true, and he also felt the young man's persistent love for the woman from the young man's memory. Mr. Hong himself was a persistent person. Facing a person who had the same persistence as him, Mr. Hong moved his sympathy. He promised to give the wood attribute elixir to the young man and didn't ask for any compensation. In this way, under the protection of Mr. Hong, the young man absorbed the elixir and his strength was greatly improved, but there was still a long way to go for the Holy Spirit Master. At this time, Mr. Hong was about to leave, because he didn't want to ask the young man for anything, and he didn't have any requests to ask for, but the young man caught up with him at this time, saying that he must compensate Mr. Hong for something, because he didn't like to owe favors. Perhaps because he had the same obsession as the young man, although Mr. Hong didn't like being followed, he didn't drive the young man away. In this way, wherever Mr. Hong went, the young man followed. Mr. Hong practiced and the young man practiced. I don't know how long it took, but the relationship between the two slowly changed, from a relationship of chasing to repay favors and the other not wanting to develop into a relationship of companions. So the two traveled around the continent together, practiced together, and explored the secret realm together. Soon, hundreds of years passed. The young man was promoted from the first-level great spiritual master to the sixth-level great spiritual master, and Mr. Hong also stepped onto the ninth-level great spiritual master, but whether it was Mr. Hong or the young man at the time, their cultivation was not enough to understand the obsession in their hearts, so they still didn't stop at that time, but continued to travel around the continent to find the secret realm.
