I am a living immortal.

Come to the City God Temple to take a look.

As expected, there were huge crowds of people at first glance, and heads everywhere. From the bottom to the top of the stairs, it was packed with people.

It's not New Year's yet, and how many people will be there on New Year's Eve? That's the first incense stick at the beginning of the year, and a stick of incense is worth a fortune.

Do I need to go find the City God?

Su Mu was a little hesitant.

But soon a young man came up to him and said, "Mr. Su, please follow me."

This person was Chuzhou. He was currently helping the temple keeper take care of the City God Temple. He spotted Su Mu in the crowd and then remembered that this was the man from the inn that night. His surprise subsided in an instant and he had no intention of trying to establish a relationship with him.

He knew that this person was extraordinary and must have come here for something important.

So he took Su Mu through many twists and turns, past the crowd and into a guest room in the temple.

Su Mu knew Chuzhou. This was the third time she had seen him. The first time was at the inn, and the second time was at this City God Temple, where he was with the old temple priest.

But he was completely exhausted by then and didn't stay for long.

This was the third time they met, but the two were not familiar with each other. Su Mu did not speak, and Chu Zhou did the same. He quickly took his leave, but before leaving, he glanced at the old goat subtly.

But soon the City God appeared in the guest room, and with a wave of his hand, two cups of hot tea appeared.

"Friend Su, I'm honored to be here. I'm looking for you..."

Before he could finish his words, he froze in place, the teacup no longer restrained and about to fall vertically to the ground.

Su Mu quickly picked up the two cups of tea and said with a wry smile, "That's why I came to see you."

It took the City God a while to come back to his senses. He cautiously asked, "Who is this fellow Taoist?"

The black carp blew bubbles at the City God, then swam happily beside Su Mu.

"Well, if I say that this is the divinity that was stripped from the old turtle's demon pill and came back to life, would you believe it?"

"Ah this..."

The City God was speechless for a moment. He had never encountered such things in his life, but since he met Mr. Su, his three views have been refreshed one after another.

However, after the City God took a closer look, his eyes narrowed slightly. If he was too surprised just now that a fish could bring him such great pressure, now he seemed to have seen some clues.

Su Mu felt the City God's gaze and knew what the City God should know.

He handed the teacup over, and ripples appeared in the spiritual tea in the cup.

The City God took it, took a sip, and said, "I'm just guessing, but it looks a little familiar. Sir, do you know why there has never been a lake god in Xunyang Lake?"

"I don't know."

"That's right. You just arrived in Yuannan and didn't know that the lake god of Xunyang Lake was also killed by a master of the immortal way."

"Oh?" Su Mu came curiously.

The City God continued, "Back then, there were rumors that the Xunyang Lake God was wreaking havoc and causing chaos, but only a few people knew that this was not true."

"I worked with the water god of Xunyang Lake for a while and knew he wasn't that typical. But strange things happened. During that period, he did even more drastic things than the old turtle did. In the end, not a single body was left, and the Xunyang Lake lineage eventually declined."

"There may be something fishy going on here, or there may be some conspiracy that we don't know."

"The reason I say it looks familiar is because the Lake God of Xunyang Lake is a black-scaled dragon carp. Before he became the water god of Xunyang Lake, he was already a famous demon and enjoyed a certain reputation among the aquatic creatures."

"Now that I think about it, everything that happened back then seems strange."

"You mean..."

Su Mu looked at the black carps flapping their wings around him.

"No, you may have misunderstood. The Xunyang Lake Water God is dead. His spirit and body are both destroyed. It is impossible for him to come back to life. Even if he were to come back to life, he would no longer be the Xunyang Lake Water God. He is just a fragment of his true spirit."

"You know, it's not just this fragment that's magical..."

“It’s you who’s amazing!!”

Facing the City God's compliments, Su Mu just smiled.

He reached out and tapped the black carp on the head, and the black carp blew a few bubbles affectionately to express its happiness.

The City God, who saw this scene, couldn't help but laugh and said, "But this Black Scale Dragon Carp is not easy to raise."

Appreciate further details. "

"Okay, okay, fellow Daoist, please try my spiritual tea first."

The two of them raised their tea.

Su Mu knew nothing about tea, and giving him good tea was like a cow chewing on a peony. However, this reminded him that he should plant a tea tree in the yard so that he could give it to others. The fruits and vegetables in his yard were fine for entertaining guests, but if he gave them away as gifts, it would be a beautiful sight.

These are the fruits and vegetables I grew and brought them for you to try.

He is very pragmatic, too pragmatic. It is just a matter of planting another tree in the yard. He doesn't need to take care of it and let it grow for a few years.

He collected his thoughts, tasted the tea and praised it, "Good tea! The fragrance is unrestrained and lingers in your mouth."

The City God saw that Su Mu did not even glance at his compliment, but in his heart he felt that this was different from those high-ranking immortal masters he had imagined. This might be a return to nature.

So he said, "This black-scaled dragon carp, with the blood of a true dragon, is extremely picky. It won't live in places with little water or thin spiritual energy. It's even more difficult to make it grow. It's also strange that it lives in landscape ink paintings and feeds on the ideas in those paintings."

"The meaning in famous ink paintings?" Su Mu was shocked. Not to mention how much it cost, is this something that can be bought with money?

This kind of mysterious thing is hard to come by, and some famous artists may never be able to paint it in their entire life.

This is really a big shot.

"But..." The City God changed the subject.

"However, this works both ways. While the Ink Scale Dragon Carp uses the painting as their home, they will also explore the world within it. Exploring it to a truly profound level is the legendary cave heaven. Of course, this is just a legend. So far, no Ink Scale Dragon Carp has been able to do this."

"You might as well give it a try."

Su Mu felt a headache when he looked at the black carp. The problem was where could he find a famous painting.

Seeing Su Mu's distress, the City God smiled and said, "I have some news that may be helpful to you. It is said that there is a world-famous artist in Li'an who is good at landscape painting."

"Uh...Li'an?" Su Mu thought about the approximate location in his mind. It seemed to be next to Wen Ding. Then his mind twisted. How could the City God know about something so far away?

He seemed to have discovered a blind spot.

But as a man with some emotional intelligence, he didn't point it out.

The City God didn't seem to notice Su Mu's strange look and coughed lightly: "Yes!"

Well, he saw it... and acted like he didn't care.
