One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

Sun Yao was completely open and honest with Yue Qiluo, telling her everything about the Qi Refining Technique. Although he didn't know why Yue Qiluo was interested in him, he knew that once she became interested in someone, she would devote herself entirely to them; that was how she was with Wuxin. Even though Zhang Xianzong treated her so well, she only realized it at the very end. Before that, she had given her whole heart to Wuxin.

"This is the path to immortality, and you're just teaching it to me like this?" Yue Qiluo was somewhat surprised by Sun Yao's decisiveness.

"Didn't you want me to be your husband? Since you're going to be my wife, what's wrong with me teaching you? Immortality is nothing more than a hundred lifetimes of loneliness. If one person can live forever, what's the point of having an immortality sphere?"

"But don't people say that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, flying away separately when disaster strikes?" Yue Qiluo also had some doubts about Sun Yao's statement, after all, she had seen too many such examples.

“But aren’t there many more examples of love stronger than gold? Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall, and Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into butterflies. The poem ‘Green Jade Table on the Lantern Festival’ says, ‘I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, then suddenly I turned around, and there he was, in the dim light.’ The Book of Songs also says, ‘In life and death, in separation and reunion, we made a vow. I hold your hand, and we will grow old together.’” As Sun Yao spoke, he extended his hand to Yue Qiluo.

Yue Qiluo froze, staring at Sun Yao's outstretched hand. After a moment, she still chose to extend her own. Sun Yao firmly grasped Yue Qiluo's hand, and the next instant, golden light emanated from his body, enveloping Yue Qiluo as well. Then, he soared into the sky. Sun Yao, carrying Yue Qiluo, directly shattered the secret chamber that sealed her. He could have chosen to return the way he came, but he chose to use his power to destroy the entire chamber, because this represented his attitude towards Yue Qiluo.

This secret chamber had sealed Yue Qiluo for over a hundred years. He shattered the chamber single-handedly, signifying that from now on, as long as he was there, Yue Qiluo's freedom would be guaranteed.

At that very moment, the girl in red, who was waiting for Sun Yao outside the ancient well, felt the earth shake violently. "Could it be that the earth dragon has turned over? But the Daoist Master is still inside this well! Daoist Master! Daoist Master! Can you hear me? If you can hear me, please reply!"

After feeling the earth shake violently, Hong Guniang assumed it was caused by an earthquake, which is what we commonly know as a seismic event. She hurriedly ran to the well and kept calling out to Sun Yao.

However, just as he was calling out to Sun Yao, a golden light shot straight up from the ground outside the courtyard wall not far from the ancient well, smashing a large hole in the ground. The girl in red was immediately drawn to the golden light, and when the light dissipated, she saw Sun Yao, whom she had been calling for desperately at the well, appear in the sky, with a girl dressed in a bright red wedding dress beside him.

"Red Girl, no need to call anymore, I'm already out." With Sun Yao's current cultivation level, it's perfectly normal for him to have sharp ears and eyes. Not to mention anything else, he can hear clearly even if someone is whispering within a 300-meter radius around him.

"Master Dao, it's so good that you're alright. If something had happened to you, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to the Chief. But who is this gentleman?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just had a minor accident when I went downstairs, nothing serious. This is Yue Qiluo, you can consider her my fiancée."

"Fiancée? Daoist Master, how old are you now?"

"So what? My fiancée is quite an extraordinary person. Her soul is immortal, and her body can absorb energy to become immortal. She's actually a good match for me, after all, I'm a cultivator."

Without realizing it, Sun Yao started praising Yue Qiluo, and Yue Qiluo felt inexplicably happy after hearing Sun Yao's praise.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Has that useless general we saw when we came entered the city?"

"Reporting to you, sir, that warlord has not only entered the city, but he has also come to us wanting to buy this house. However, I ignored him. What is your decision?"

"How should I decide? I bought this house to find Qiluo. Now that I've found her, the house is useless to me. Why not sell it to him? We acquired this big house for less than the price of a small yellow croaker, but I'd have to sell it to him for at least a large yellow croaker. Three large brick houses, and you get nine small yellow croakers in one transaction. I think it's quite a good deal for me."

As Sun Yao spoke, he took Yue Qiluo's hand and walked towards the outside of the mansion. Yue Qiluo had been in this place for over a hundred years and was almost a bound spirit. There was really nothing in this courtyard worth staying for.

"Alright, then let's sell him a large yellow croaker as you wish. Now that you've finished your business, when shall we set off for the Northeast?"

"No rush, no rush. I have more than one thing to do here. I've found Qiluo, but there's another person on his way. This person is very peculiar, and I want to study him."

As they spoke, Sun Yao had already led Yue Qiluo to the main gate. Without turning his head, he waved to Hong Guniang and then gestured that he and Yue Qiluo would go to the inn where they had stayed before. This was also a way of informing Hong Guniang of his upcoming whereabouts so that she wouldn't worry about him.

Sun Yao pulled Yue Qiluo along and headed out of Wen County. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at the main road outside Wen County. However, this main road was entirely dirt, and it had rained recently, so it was muddy everywhere.

Sun Yao even used the Golden Light Spell to cover his and Yue Qiluo's lower bodies to prevent the mud from splashing on them. After seeing what Sun Yao did, Yue Qiluo immediately manipulated many paper figures, which gathered into a cloud of paper figures to support the two of them. In this way, the two of them floated away into the distance along the road outside the city.

In no time, Sun Yao found the person he was looking for: Wuxin, the protagonist of the animated series "Wuxin the Monster Killer." Wuxin is immortal, has no heart, no fatal weaknesses, and his blood possesses extremely strong exorcising properties. He doesn't seem like an ordinary person, or even a human. Wuxin was now collapsed from hunger by the roadside; since Yueya hadn't yet arrived from the main road, no one was feeding him. Although he was immortal, he had fainted from hunger. Sun Yao used his Golden Light Spell, transforming into a golden hand, and directly lifted the unconscious Wuxin from the roadside.

"Alright, Qiluo, we've found the person I'm looking for. Let's go back now."

"Okay, hold on tight."
