I am a living immortal.

Su Mu immediately decided to write the invitation letter.

As for the others, they were not idle either. Su Mu would most likely stay in Yan Dynasty for a long time, so they wanted to find something to do. Cao Chen was still looking for a place to tell fortunes, but he was also considering whether it would be in Yuannan City or somewhere else.

However, perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was something he heard from Su Mu, but Cao Chen finally found Qingxuan Temple.

This Taoist temple opened its doors again, and the person it welcomed was not the young abbot, but a demigod.

Su Mu didn't expect Cao Chen to choose that place.

As if by some coincidence, when Su Mu returned to Yuannan, the Yuannan City God knocked on the door of the courtyard the next day just like he did before.

The red dress hasn't changed much.

It was Shenlong who opened the door. He hadn't expected the first person to visit Su Mu would be an acquired spirit. He subconsciously frowned, then relaxed. Shenlong's mindset was gradually changing as his understanding of the world deepened.

He is no longer the arrogant innate god he once was.

But habits naturally couldn't be changed immediately. As Shenlong looked at Yuannan City God, Yuannan City God also looked at Shenlong, and of course, he saw the other's frown. His condescending demeanor didn't irritate anyone.

"I'm here to visit Mr. Su."

The mirage dragon nodded and turned sideways. This city god didn't seem to have anything special, but the smell of sandalwood on his body was a bit stronger, which meant that his followers were very strong.

It was also the first time for the City God of Yuannan to enter this small courtyard, and it was indeed a different world.

Su Mu stood up to greet him.

"It's been so many years since we last met, but the name of Su Xianzun has become more and more well-known." The Yuannan City God bowed.

Su Mu laughed and shook her head. His most famous accomplishment was slaying the great demon, and the rest was actually traveling around. But considering this guy was a know-it-all, it wasn't surprising that he'd heard of him; it was a compliment.

"Haha, Brother Chen, what news do you have this time?"

"Why, if there's no news, then I can't bother you?"

"Of course, please." Su Mu said and made a gesture of invitation.

Yunfu appeared at some point and poured the City God a cup of tea. The City God glanced at him once more, then turned to Su Mu.

Su Mu said, "If you don't come, my invitation will be over."

"Oh? What invitation?"

"Of course we're getting together. I might be staying longer this time, so we have to maintain our friendship and let you all take care of me."

"Ahaha, of course, of course. In my Yuannan area, Brother Su can walk around without any problem." The City God did not say that he did not need to be taken care of, as that would be too formal. Instead, he agreed immediately. This was a tacit understanding.

He then extended his hand and said, "Since Brother Su is hosting, I will definitely come."

Su Mu smiled and handed over an invitation letter.

The Yuannan City God accepted the invitation without hesitation and got down to business. Although Su Mu had been gone for a long time, the City God still kept an eye on things, such as this small courtyard and the Qingxuan Temple. Therefore, during Su Mu's absence, he was the first to know about many things. Under the Yuannan City God's watchful eye, little could escape his notice.

What's more, Yuannan is a big county, and such a big county will make the power of the City God even stronger.

"It's not a big deal, it's Qingxuan Temple."

So Cao Chen came to Qingxuan Temple. When he pushed open the vermilion gate, he saw a Taoist temple. This Taoist temple was not in the dilapidated state of years of abandonment, not even a speck of dust had fallen.

It was obvious that someone had cleaned it. It must be the little demon that the City God mentioned.

Su Mu originally wanted to come here on her own, but Cao Chen asked Su Mu to come because he felt the attraction between fate. Su Mu finally nodded in agreement.

Cao Chen, dressed in a white robe with cloud patterns, walked into the Taoist temple. The first thing he saw was a large copper incense burner, with several burnt incense sticks still inside. Next to the incense burner was a small table, which was also neatly stacked with incense sticks.

It exudes a faint fragrance and is neat and tidy, even though there is no one in this Taoist temple.

Cao Chen picked up three incense sticks and shook them, lighting them. He bowed three times toward the main hall. He had learned from Su Mu that Qingxuan Temple didn't worship gods, only heaven and earth.

Therefore, there are no taboos. As long as it's a living being in this world, the heaven and earth will tolerate this worship. The statue won't be torn apart by the status of the one being worshipped. Even if a mirage dragon comes to worship, it can be tolerated. Of course, a mirage dragon won't come to worship, forget it.

After Cao Chen finished his worship, he inserted the incense into the copper censer, and the curling smoke floated into the sky.

He looked around. The windows were freshly painted, and the glazed tiles on the roof showed signs of repair. The ground was flat and free of weeds. The several houses behind the Taoist temple were unopened, except for a small room to the west that appeared to be occupied.

Although he came uninvited, he still knew some etiquette.

This was also why the City God hadn't driven him away. This mysterious visitor seemed to have some connection to Su Mu. After Cao Chen surveyed the surroundings, he found nothing unusual. Even the incense money wasn't missing much, and instead, there were a few new copper coins.

Cao Chen smiled inexplicably. He understood the cautiousness behind these actions.

At the same time, a young man was running quickly on the mountain path. He had just come down the mountain when he heard that someone was coming up the mountain, so he ran over.

Standing in front of the door, Cao Chen seemed to have noticed something, turned around, and met the other person's eyes. He read a trace of guilt in the young man's eyes.

He has lived in this Taoist temple for two or three years.

Except for certain festivals when people go up the mountain, few people come: "Are you here to burn incense?"

"No, I'm here to look for someone." Cao Chen said with a smile as he looked at the uneasy young man in front of him.

"Are you from this Taoist temple?"

The young man felt even more guilty when asked: "I came here to repay my gratitude. But when I arrived, there was no one here, and I wanted to wait for him to come back. I also had nowhere else to go, so I stayed here temporarily. I'm not a bad person..."

"Hahaha, I see, you're not even a human being." Cao Chen teased the other person.

He felt that he had been with Shenlong and the others for too long, and what he said became incoherent. This was completely subconscious.

However, this seemed to frighten the boy opposite, and his pupils turned vertical. He instantly put a large distance between himself and Cao Chen: "You, you, you, who are you?"

Cao Chen recognized it from the beginning; it was a fox demon. However, this fox demon had no blood, and its spirit was clear and full.
