Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Ye Changyan was a little curious about what his cheap master had left behind for him that he could call a powerful weapon.

"The master asked me to go to the back mountain to see the results of his practice over the years. He also left some things for me in the cliff cave in the back mountain. I would like to invite several senior brothers to go and see them together."

Ye Changyan was really not used to calling these elderly men in front of him "senior brothers". He was about to blurt out the word "senior", but when he saw these men staring at him intently, he changed his words and uttered the first word "senior brother".

After hearing what Ye Changyan said, the Palace Master and several elders were all expectant. Over the years, they had been to the back mountain countless times, but they were completely unable to understand the results of their uncle's practice.

Ye Changyan followed a few vigorous elderly people out of the meeting hall and walked towards the back mountain.

When passing a small bridge, Ye Changyan discovered through the white marble railings that steam seemed to be rising from the pool below.

After careful observation, he found that there seemed to be a spring gushing out from the bottom of the crystal clear pool. Ye Changyan stepped over the white marble railing, put his hand in the water and stirred it twice. It was just as he had guessed, what gushed out of the pool was actually a stream of hot springs.

"Brother Qingxuan, is that hot spring gushing out of this pool?"

Ye Changyan asked Qing Xuanzi who was walking beside him, and Qing Xuanzi nodded with a smile.

"This is the treasure of the palace, the Retsukai Pond. There are seven springs in the pond. Everyone calls these springs the Seven Retsukai Springs. The entire Yujing Palace was built around this Retsukai Pond. Except for the library, every building has a spring channel. The water used in the entire Yujing Palace comes from these seven springs."

Ye Changyan thought, no wonder these octogenarians in front of him were so energetic. Even though they were all cultivators, Ye Changyan felt that this was probably related to the environment of the Yujing Palace.

Look at the huge amount of water gushing out of the hot spring in front of you. The hot spring is rich in various minerals. It is ideal health-care water whether for drinking or bathing.

No wonder the founder of Yujing Palace chose to establish his sect deep in the mountains. This is indeed a good place for practicing.

An idea suddenly came to Ye Changyan's mind. If he could let his father Ye Xiaozheng come to Yujing Palace for recuperation, he wondered if his stubborn illness could be improved.

If Ye Xiaozheng could really come to Yujing Palace for recuperation, drink mineral water rich in minerals, soak in warm hot springs, and sleep on the jade bed in the cliff cave of the healing holy land, Ye Changyan would become more and more excited the more he thought about it.

However, I am not very familiar with Yujing Palace yet. If I rashly make such a request, will it cause resentment from the other party?

It seems that this matter needs long-term consideration, but Ye Changyan has already kept this matter firmly in mind.

Along the way, Ye Changyan could indeed see the water diversion channel emitting hot steam, whether intentionally or unintentionally. No wonder he saw the Yujing Palace shrouded in clouds and mist when he came out of the valley behind the mountain. This was probably the steam rising from the water diversion channel that was spread throughout the Yujing Palace.

Ye Changyan followed several senior brothers, walking through one white marble corridor after another and passing through one palace and pavilion after another.

The passing of Ye Changyan and several of his fellow disciples did not seem to distract the little Taoist children who were practicing martial arts in the square between the palaces and pavilions.

Ye Changyan and his group walked to the end of the marble road and set foot on the mountain road leading to the back mountain. After walking along the mountain road, they soon entered the valley. They continued walking along the mountain road and it took a while before they entered the back mountain.

Under the guidance of Palace Master Qingxuzi, Ye Changyan noticed that there was a strange building hidden next to a hidden small mound in the back mountain.

Looking at the tall and oddly shaped metal sticks erected on the outer walls and roof of the building, Ye Changyan guessed that this should be the space-time communication station mentioned by Mr. Gongshu. Presumably, those oddly shaped and tall metal sticks should be the antennas used to transmit and receive signals.

"Junior brother, my uncle often practiced alone in this room. He did not allow anyone to disturb him, let alone step into this room. Therefore, this back mountain has been designated as a forbidden area since then."

Qingxuzi handed another key to Ye Changyan and continued.

"Junior brother, we cannot enter without the permission of our uncle. We will wait outside this door. You can go in and take a look first."

Ye Changyan took the key, opened the lock, and then pushed the door open.

I saw a studio inside. The shelves on one side were filled with various utensils and tools, while on the other side was a large device. I guess this was the unit of the space-time communication station.

Ye Changyan observed carefully for a while, found the energy slot, opened the wooden box, took out the energy stone, and carefully placed it in the energy slot. The energy indicator light on the unit showed that the energy was full.

Then Ye Changyan pressed the red start button on the unit, and heard some mechanical friction sounds from the unit, followed by a series of crackling sounds of electric current.

At this time, the Palace Master of Yujing Palace and the four elders outside the building once again saw the shocking scene that filled them with memories. They saw colorful beams of light emitting from those strange-shaped metal sticks, shooting straight into the sky.

These five elderly men had seen the same scene when they were young. At that time, they all thought that Uncle Gongshu had mastered the communication between heaven and man, and that colorful rays of light had come to take him away.

Ever since Uncle Gongshu passed away, they have never seen those pillars of light rising into the sky again. Several decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

"This junior brother is worthy of being the successor of the master uncle. As soon as he entered the house, he attracted the rising rays of light again. I don't know what task the master uncle gave him. I hope that the junior brother can complete the master uncle's legacy."

When Qing Xuanzi saw the column of light rising into the sky, he couldn't help but sigh.

The other fellow disciples also felt a sense of emotion in their hearts, thinking back to the days when Uncle Gongshu was such a brilliant man. Decades had passed, and today they finally saw the results of Uncle Gongshu's practice again.

Ye Changyan in the room placed an energy stone into the energy slot of the space-time communication terminal, and set the parameters on the unit and the terminal according to the parameters in Mr. Gongshu's letter.

The originally colorful beam of light on the roof gradually turned into a white light that shot up into the sky.

Ye Changyan carefully checked the unit and the terminal, and made sure there were no problems. Then he put the terminal back into the box and walked out of the room.

Ye Changyan walked out of the house and saw the white light rising from the roof. He really hoped that the signal emitted by this white light could be captured by the people on the distant planet of Eternal Dawn, the hometown of Mr. Gongshu.
