Above the source of Tao

Yun Chang'an slowly woke up in his home. What happened during the day seemed like a dream, but the pain in his body reminded him that all this was real.

The city lord Lin Gujun called a doctor to give Yun Changan medicine and sent him back to his home.

"Why am I in my own bed at home?" Yun Chang'an lay on the bed, opened his eyes drowsily, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and muttered to himself in confusion.

"Little guy, the battle during the day was pretty good!" A clear female voice sounded in Yun Chang'an's mind. It was the voice of Fairy Shichen.

"Yes, I beat Zhou Yuanba's yellow dog to death during the day, and then they surrounded and beat me up. I don't know what happened after that." Yun Chang'an tried hard to recall what happened during the day, feeling a little uneasy.

"You were saved by the city lord. He arranged for a doctor to treat you and then sent you home safely." Fairy Shichen explained gently.

Um......

Yun Changan sat up from the bed and stretched his body. He was surprised to find that the pain had been relieved a lot. The wound was almost healed. He couldn't help but sigh that the effect of this skin and bone soup was really magical. It made his body so strong and his recovery speed was amazing.

"It's not just the magic of the medicine, it's more that you have more or less absorbed some vitality when bathing in the medicine, which is why you recovered so quickly. You were not seriously injured, just some superficial injuries." Fairy Shichen continued to explain.

"Let's start preparing for today's bath." As soon as Fairy Shichen finished speaking, Yun Chang'an began to get busy, preparing the materials needed for bathing, hoping that this bath would bring more miraculous effects.

However, although the injury has improved, it has not fully recovered.

After preparing the materials needed for bathing, he became a little worried. The wounds on his body were still clearly visible. If he jumped into the barrel like that, the pain would probably be doubled.

Taking a bath when he was not injured was already excruciating pain for him, and it was still unknown whether his body could withstand it now.

“Whatever! It hurts.” Yun Chang’an gritted his teeth, and after a mental struggle, he finally made up his mind and jumped into the wooden barrel filled with potion.

But as soon as he touched the bucket of potion, he regretted his decision.

The medicinal material was constantly penetrating into his body through his skin, especially the wounds. Under the effect of the medicine, the wounds were extremely painful, and he almost fainted several times. However, he remained calm and stayed awake.

In the end, I didn't faint.

After finishing his bath, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he could see with his own eyes that the wound had scabbed over and no longer hurt.

Yun Chang'an marveled at the magic of bathing.

……

In front of Zhou Fuying's funeral hall...

In the hall stood the tablets of the ancestors of the Zhou family, and below was Zhou Yuanba, who had been kneeling for a whole day. He looked tired and drowsy.

Zhou Ying brought his eldest son to the Hall of Heroes. Seeing that Zhou Yuanba was not kneeling properly, he became furious and slapped Zhou Yuanba on the back of his head.

"father."

Zhou Yuanba woke up instantly, turned around and looked at the person who came and cried out in grievance.

"Look at your posture! You are kneeling in front of the ancestors and yet you are drowsy. It's not proper." Zhou Ying scolded.

"You have really been spoiled by your mother. You committed a crime in public today. Do you know that you are wrong?" Zhou Ying then asked sternly.

Zhou Yuanba nodded, indicating that he knew he was wrong. According to the laws of Shanglin City, committing a crime in public would result in imprisonment, and in serious cases, death by slow slicing. This was also the reason why Zhou Ying was so angry in the restaurant.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, Zhou Yuanba would have been in jail now.

"You stay at home obediently these days and are not allowed to step out of the room without my permission." Zhou Ying said to him in a commanding tone.

Zhou Yuanba responded dejectedly. "Got it."

"The most important thing right now is the Shangyang Sect's disciple recruitment test in three days. Everything else has to be put aside." After confining Zhou Yuanba, he heaved a sigh of relief and said to his eldest son.

"Brother, am I okay?"

"Listen to dad and stay at home for the next few days. Don't go out. As for that Yun Chang'an, if you meet him in the future, your brother will help you teach him a lesson." After Zhou Ying left, Zhou Yuanba's eldest brother Zhou Yuanxiong comforted him.

After saying this, the two brothers walked out of the ancestral hall one after the other.

……

Three days later, a crane carried two figures, a man and a woman. They were wearing the same clothes, but with different icons on their chests. One was standing, and the other was sitting, closing his eyes to rest.

“Senior Sister Chu, we haven’t left the sect for a long time. We must have a good time this time.” The man said with a relaxed look.

"Nonsense, finish what the master has told you to do and go back to report, don't stay any longer."

It's really boring, so serious. The man felt helpless. If he had known that he would go out with Senior Sister Chu, he would never have come.

Coming soon...

An hour later, the crane landed in the central courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord and a group of servants had been waiting there long ago.

Seeing the crane landing, the city lord and his servants shouted, "Welcome the immortal to Shanglin City!"

Seeing this, the two flew down from the crane. The city lord asked, "Are you the city lord of Shanglin City?"

"I am here on the order of the sect leader to recruit disciples. There are two people in this city who have opened their Yuan Gu. I wonder if they are in the city?" one person asked.

The city lord quickly replied, "Yes, yes, it's still early and you can take a rest. Please come to the front hall to eat."

"Don't bother too much. Just find a quiet place for the two of us." The female Taoist priest said with a hint of dignity.

Upon hearing this, Lin Gujun immediately ordered his servants to arrange the rooms. Soon, the two immortals were led to a quiet room.

Afterwards, the city lord Lin Gujun issued an order: "Today at 3:00 p.m., a ceremony to recruit disciples will be held outside the city lord's mansion in Shanglin City. All boys and girls aged eight to sixteen can participate." He also posted this order in various places in the city.

This order spread quickly like a gust of wind to every corner of the city. All the people in the city had learned the news. Many people came to the City Lord's Mansion early, wanting to witness the immortal's grace with their own eyes. This included Yun Chang'an who had just completed a seven-day bath.

At this moment, Yun Chang'an's injuries have completely healed, and the bone mass in his body has been greatly improved, seeming to be stronger than before.

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, more and more people gathered here, and everyone was looking forward to the appearance of the immortal. At this moment, the place was noisy and bustling.
