Take your childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality

"Have you heard? There is an immortal in the city recruiting disciples," said Li Da.

"Is this true?" Xu Langjun grabbed Li Da in shock and was about to leave.

"Really? Why would I lie to you? I didn't believe it at first. But then the immortal waved his hand and took out a chair from his sleeve. He said, 'If you have children between five and ten years old at home, you can go and test your fate as an immortal. I'll give you five days. If you miss the time, don't wait.' It was right in front of me. I'm going to take my two children to the city. Who knows, maybe they can really become immortals.'" Li Da said excitedly, and hurried home. He shook off Xu Langjun's hand and left in a hurry.

As soon as he said this, the nearby villagers were in an uproar. One person told ten, ten told a hundred, and they all rushed home, fearing that they would be slow and their chance to become an immortal would be taken by someone else. They wished they could grow wings and fly to the immortal.

Liu Wenwen heard that an immortal was recruiting disciples in the city. It was already afternoon, and Shen Runze hadn't returned yet. He couldn't help but wonder, are we wearing books for cultivating immortals, and not books for farming and vegetable farming? But thinking about it, it really is a bit magical. I'd like to see if it's like in the TV series, flying through the sky and escaping the earth, with boundless magical powers. I wonder if I can find an immortal to talk to about it. Regarding the spatial barrier, if I could master magic, I could fly and transform into food, so I wouldn't have to worry about the next meal. Hey, maybe I could even find the legendary wormhole and return to the modern world. I'm so thirsty for milk tea...

Suddenly a customer came and walked into the store in a hurry. He looked middle-aged, not very good-looking, with an ordinary appearance. He walked into the store and went straight to the back hall.

"I'm sorry, this back hall is where we live and it's not convenient for outsiders to enter," Liu Wenwen said as she stopped the middle-aged man.

"My last name is Yan Zhongzhi. I'm the male owner of this house, and Madam Yan is my wife. You're the new helper, right? I heard Ayin mention before that she wanted to hire someone to help. I didn't expect that they would hire such a young person. However, you've done a great job." Yan Zhongzhi said gently.

"However, I have something urgent to discuss with you, Madam. Are you home?" he said as he walked in.

"Yeah, I'm at home, resting in the main room," Liu Wenwen said awkwardly.

"Madam, get up quickly. This is great news." Yan Zhongzhi said as he shouted. When he entered the room, Madam Yan had already gotten up.

"Husband, why are you back?" Madam Yan came over with a smile.

"This is great news. I can't wait to come back the next day. I went out to do business as usual today. When I passed by the intersection of the West Market in the city, an immortal fell from the sky and landed right in front of me. He claimed to be from the Tianyan Sect and came to recruit disciples. He only accepts children between five and ten years old. Older and younger are not accepted. Madam, this is the ability of an immortal. Our Yan'er is exactly eight years old. We must go and try it. Maybe our family will have an immortal. This is a great honor for our ancestors. Now, the news has not been fully heard yet. Let's take Bei'er to try it. I think our Bei'er is good at studying and has wisdom. I guess he must have a destiny to be an immortal." Yan Zhongzhi said excitedly to Madam Yan.

"If you're chosen, will you come home to teach?" Madam Yan asked cautiously. Don't blame Madam Yan for being ignorant. It's because she loves her son so much that she doesn't want the child to leave her side, even for a moment. Of course, she hopes that the child will come home to teach, so that she can see the skills of the immortals.

"Hey, Madam, I understand what you are thinking, and I know you feel bad, but if this is really Bei Ge'er's destiny, and you are blocking him, he will only blame you when he finds out. Now, all we can do is hope that he will be selected, rise to the top, and come back to visit his parents when he has time. I will be satisfied then," Yan Zhongzhi said with a sigh.

Madam Yan couldn't help shedding tears after hearing this and said, "Then where can I find Bei'er if I want to see him in the future? Will I ever be able to see him again? I really don't want Bei'er to go, so let him study for the imperial examination, my husband!"

"How foolish! Imperial examinations are only for mortals. If Brother Bei has the fate of an immortal, he can live for hundreds or even thousands of years. Isn't that good?" Yan Zhongzhi coaxed in a low voice, looking at Madam Yan.

"This? Doesn't that mean he's an old monster?" Madam Yan exclaimed in shock. "No, no, today I met that immortal who looked younger than me, like a young man. Some people didn't believe him and asked, 'Who are you trying to fool at such a young age?' He said he was 121 years old, just what age? I didn't quite understand. Then he casually pulled a chair from his sleeve and sat in meditation. He looked very presentable, not like a liar," Yan Zhongzhi recounted to Madam Yan, recalling the past.

"One hundred and twenty-one years old? Wouldn't that make him a centenarian? Are there really young people who look like young people?" Madam Yan asked in surprise.

"Why would I lie to you? Go out and ask, or come with me to send Bei Ge'er off tomorrow and go see for yourself." Yan Zhongzhi persuaded his wife when he saw that she didn't believe him.

"Mom! I want to go. I want to try to see if there is any chance for immortality. If not, I will go home and study hard for the imperial examinations." Yan Qibei stood at the door at some point and had been listening for an unknown amount of time.

"Brother Bei, once you go, you won't be able to see your parents anymore. You'll have to rely on yourself in the future. Are you willing?" Madam Yan said to Yan Qibei reluctantly, touching his head. She couldn't help but shed tears again, looking very sad.

"Who said I only have myself?" Yan Qibei suddenly looked up and said to Madam Yan.

"Then who else?" Madam Yan asked doubtfully.

"Arun, smell it. They are not six years old anymore, so they can also try for the immortal fate. If we both have the immortal fate, we can support each other in the future, so mother won't have to worry. Our family treats them well, and they should help me in the future." Yan Qibei looked at his father, then at his mother and said slowly.

After hearing this, Madam Yan said with relief, "My son has grown up."

The subordinate couldn't help but hide the tears in his eyes, "Yes, Arun and Wenwen are great kids. We have been helped a lot during the time they came to our house." Madam Yan wiped her tears and told her bewildered husband that the two had been helping out at home recently, and they also went out to find medicinal herbs to sell to the pharmacy. Recently, they didn't even have to buy firewood, as Arun would carry it back when he came home, saving Madam Yan a lot of money.

"So there was a boy? Just now when I came back, I met a little girl, very small. I rushed in in a hurry and didn't see her. She stopped me and said that it was difficult to enter the inner hall. She seemed very polite," Yan Zhongzhi recalled.

"I wonder where their parents are from? Does Madam know?" Yan Zhongzhi asked curiously.

"They can't remember where they are from specifically because they are too young. All we know is that their families are in the north and they are old friends. When there was a war in the north, the two families fled together. In the end, only an old servant and two children were left. The old servant passed away some time ago and entrusted the two to a distant relative. Unexpectedly, the husband of this relative broke his leg and needed money for treatment, so they conspired with kidnappers to sell the two for money. God took pity on them and Wenwen heard about it. Wenwen and Arun ran away at night and wandered in the wilderness, making a living by looking for medicinal herbs. When I met them, they were wearing tattered clothes. I wanted to buy some cloth to make some clothes. I felt sorry for them, so I offered to hire them, providing food and lodging. That's how it happened later," Madam Yan recalled.

"It sounds like these two are pretty good. Madam has done a great job. They must have heard about the immortal accepting disciples and might want to go. Why don't we take them with us? I hope they will appreciate our family's care for them during this period and help and support Brother Bei." Yan Zhongzhi looked at Madam Yan and Yan Qibei.

"I understand, Dad," Yan Qibei said to his father.

After Yan Zhongzhi finished speaking, he walked out and went to the cloth shop in front to see if the boy named Arun had returned.

When I walked into the cloth shop, I saw a boy about the same age as Liu Wenwen, slightly taller than Liu Wenwen, with a pair of big eyes that were deep and bright, wearing green coarse cloth clothes, with a cute and delicate appearance and outstanding temperament. Standing next to Liu Wenwen, who had fair skin and delicate features, they looked like a pair of boys and girls in New Year pictures.

Yan Zhongzhi secretly thought that a person with such good looks and outstanding temperament could not be raised by an ordinary family.

"You are Arun, right? Your aunt has told me about your situation. There is a big event now, and I believe you have already heard about it. However, I want to take Beige'er with you to the city to try your luck with immortality. If you succeed, that would be the best. If not, come back to our house. I will adopt you as my adopted children, just like Abei." Yan Zhongzhi said to Arun.

"Thank you, uncle. How can you help me? Just tell me directly," Shen Runze said to Yan Zhongzhi with a smile.

"Hahaha, okay, actually I don't ask for anything else. I only have one son, Abei. He is simple by nature. In the past two years, because I taught him to read, he became less talkative and has not had as much experience as you. I hope that you two can take care of him. The three of you can help each other and the road ahead will be easier with someone's support." Yan Zhongzhi looked at Shen Runze and Liu Wenwen hopefully.

"Uncle, don't worry. If the three of us are destined to be together, and we have known each other since childhood, our friendship is incomparable to others. We will definitely be fine and come back to see you and Aunt Yan together." Liu Wenwen was the first to assure Yan Zhongzhi.

"it is good,"
