How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Li Muyun asked excitedly, "Unless what?"

“Unless you have the key,” the long-eared fairy said slowly.

Li Muyun nearly choked on his breath. "I know even if you don't tell me, right? We don't have the key now!"

Long-eared Immortal pondered for a moment, then gently stroked the box with his palm, injecting a stream of true essence into it. He then smiled slightly and said, "Bloodline sealing? Kid, drip a few drops of blood on it."

Although Li Muyun was puzzled, he did as instructed, cutting his palm and leaving a few drops of blood on the mysterious box.

Before long, four lines of text appeared on the box: "The Yin and Yang yin and yang have just opened, forming a Tai Chi with two fish. Seek the Dragon-Imprisoning Well in the south, and the Sun-Star-Binding Crystal River in the north."

Li Muyun read it carefully twice and said, "There are two keys in total. One is in the Dragon-Prisoning Well in the abandoned royal palace in the south of the city, and the other is in the Sun-Trapping Star Land at the bottom of the Crystal River in the north of the city. I have heard of these two places before. Only by finding these two keys can we open the box."

The long-eared fairy shook its ears. "That's your problem."

Li Muyun nodded, raised his hand to try to take the box away with his storage ring, but after several attempts, he had no success. So, he stretched his limbs and prepared to carry the box with him.

"Boy, this box is made of primordial stone from the Great Dao, and it's also the core of the array. Taking this thing out of the array is no different from breaking the array directly. I'm just a remnant soul right now. Being able to bring you here and there freely is already a great supernatural power. You think you can make me take the box away? You're dreaming!"

Seeing Li Muyun's actions, the Long-Eared Immortal immediately poured cold water on his hopes. Li Muyun then gave up on the idea of ​​taking the box with him, deciding to wait until he found both keys before returning to open it.

Led by the Long-Eared Immortal, Li Muyun left the sealing formation and returned to the flower boat on the river.

As soon as Li Muyun arrived at the flower boat, he saw the boat swaying slightly, and from within came the captivating moans of Zhongli Henfeng.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Muyun still boarded the boat. He saw Zhongli Henfeng rowing the boat while moaning, his head covered in sweat.

"..."

Upon seeing Li Muyun enter, Zhongli Henfeng was startled at first, then her fair face instantly turned red. "Ahem, I was just keeping evidence for you. Young Master, you're back in just half an hour. So fast! Now that you're back, I don't need to go through all this trouble."

“No, I’ll help you row the boat, you continue.” Li Muyun shook his head repeatedly and started rowing on his own.

Zhongli Henfeng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean by this, young master?"

Li Muyun's handsome face flushed slightly. "If it's over so quickly, it'll be so embarrassing if word gets out."

"Giggle!"

Zhongli Henfeng laughed so hard that the flowers trembled. He hadn't expected this young boy to have so many thoughts. Upon closer inspection, the boy was as handsome as an immortal, and his dark eyes were captivating. He was indeed the son of Long Xian'er, the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty.

The next morning, Li Muyun bid farewell to the beauty Zhongli Henfeng and called Yang Tian, ​​who had been drinking all night, back to his residence.

Yang Tian looked at Li Muyun with a wicked grin, "Brother, you're quite the ladies' man. I listened to your spring breeze all night long."

Li Muyun laughed awkwardly, "Big brother, please don't tease me. I'm just..."

"Young master, you haven't returned all night. Where did you two go last night?!"

Suddenly, Xiao Rou, who had just finished shopping outside, came to question them with an expression that said "confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely."

Li Muyun quickly winked at Yang Tian, ​​"My brother and I went to a restaurant to drink and got drunk, that's why we haven't come back yet."

Yang Tian acted as if he hadn't seen anything and said righteously, "Yesterday we went to Xunxian Tower. He and the girl went to play on the flower boat. I didn't do anything. I kept watch over your young master all night."

"Big brother, you betrayed me!" Li Muyun was dumbfounded. Yang Tian had actually betrayed him with just one sentence.

"How could you lie to Miss Xiaorou? Everything I said is true, I am a good person!" Yang Tian, ​​looking like a righteous messenger, stood with Xiaorou and accused Li Muyun from a moral high ground.

Xiao Rou's eyes immediately blazed with fury, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Young Master, you've gone astray! Xiao Rou will never be friends with you again. Do you think you can hide this from me? Now everyone in the streets and alleys is saying that the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Slaughter Marquis had a secret rendezvous with the top courtesan of the Immortal Seeking Pavilion, and the two of them spent a passionate night together!"

Yang Tian chimed in, "That's right, a one-night stand with the top courtesan! Shameful!"

Rolling his eyes at Yang Tian, ​​Li Muyun happened to see Yang Tian's gaze flash across Xiao Rou's face, and suddenly understood something, exclaiming with realization, "I know! No wonder you betrayed me, so you like—"

With a flushed face, Yang Tian covered Li Muyun's mouth and punched him twice to shut him up. He then turned to Xiao Rou with a grin and said, "This kid is full of tricks and always chasing after women. I'll teach him a lesson. Don't worry, Miss Xiao Rou, I'll make sure he gives up his womanizing ways!"

"Humph!"

Xiao Rou pouted and snorted, rolling her eyes dramatically. As she left, she said, "Eavesdropping on other people's intimate moments all night, they're no good people either. They're all in cahoots, scoundrels!"

"Ah I......"

Yang Tian was shocked to receive such a review in the end, and his face immediately fell.

Li Muyun finally broke free from Yang Tian's grasp and burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Big brother, this is what happens when you betray your brothers! Big brother, I didn't expect that after only a few days, you would have developed feelings for Xiaorou?"

Yang Tian scratched his head awkwardly, "That's not true. I have more than a dozen beautiful wives in Guanjiangkou. I won't fall in love easily."

"Really?" Li Muyun deliberately walked in the direction Xiao Rou had left. "Then I'll tell Xiao Rou that Brother Yang has a lot of wives and concubines at home, and he wouldn't even look at a little maid like you."

"No, no!" Yang Tian completely gave in, chuckling, "My family is full of women married off for political reasons, I don't like that. This trip is also a good opportunity to go out and cultivate to avoid them, otherwise my old man is pressuring me to have a grandson. I fell in love with Xiao Rou at first sight, I feel this is true love!"

"Xiaorou and I have relied on each other for many years. I have always regarded her as my own sister. I am at ease entrusting her to you, my elder brother. However, whether you can win Xiaorou over depends on your abilities."

Li Muyun patted Yang Tian on the shoulder and couldn't help but smile. The dignified young master of the Yang family in Guanjiangkou had actually fallen for Xiao Rou here. Perhaps this was fate.

Yang Tian nodded in agreement, then asked, "By the way, you didn't really just spend the night having sex, did you? Did you find out anything?"

Li Muyun's expression turned serious. "I've obtained some information, but it conflicts with my previous information, so I need to continue investigating. I saw my mother's belongings, which require two keys to open. There are still five days until the autumn examination. Today I'll meditate and practice the immortal technique that His Highness Prince Qin gave me. Tomorrow I plan to go to the location of the first key to search for it."

"where?"

"The Dragon-Imprisoning Well of the Abandoned Prince's Mansion!"
