Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

"Master, why did we come to this ordinary inn in the mortal world?"

In the mortal realm, an elderly man with white hair and a cane led a boy of about eleven or twelve years old to an ordinary inn. Strangely, the inn's signboard read "Red Dust Inn".

Compared to other inns, the Red Dust Inn was quite deserted; it was unclear why the owner would continue to run it.

The old man looked at the young man beside him, smiled and patted his head. Looking at the inn, he laughed and said, "Little Xuan, don't be fooled by the quietness of this inn. Everyone who can enter this inn is a powerful figure."

The boy named Xiao Xuan stared in shock at the inn in front of him and exclaimed, "Then Master, isn't the innkeeper even stronger than you?"

The old man looked at the inn, lost in thought. Seeing the old man's expression, the young man did not disturb him. After a while, the old man chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I couldn't even last one move against him."

The boy looked at his master in shock, then at the inn, increasingly sensing that this inn was not simple.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Shangguan, how have you been?"

As Shangguan Jin Hong, the old man, led the boy into the inn, a chubby innkeeper came over.

The portly shopkeeper had just finished greeting Shangguan Jin Hong when he noticed the young man beside him and asked in surprise, "May I ask who this gentleman is beside Fellow Daoist Shangguan?"

Shangguan Jin Hong stroked the boy's hair affectionately and said proudly, "Li Daoxuan, my disciple, is a natural-born cultivator."

The fat shopkeeper looked at Li Daoxuan again. This time, his eyes were not as calm as before. His eyes turned completely white, and after a moment, they returned to their original white state.

The portly shopkeeper nodded and praised, "A naturally gifted body, not bad. If he doesn't die young, his future achievements will surely surpass ours."

"That's right!" Shangguan Jin Hong looked at the fat shopkeeper with pride and a hint of smugness.

The chubby shopkeeper was a little jealous and said sourly, "So, you've come here to show off to me."

Shangguan Jin Hong naturally sensed the sarcasm in the portly shopkeeper's tone and said smugly, "I'm here to see Mr. Zhang!"

Mr. Zhang, the owner of this inn, was the one who re-established the Red Dust Inn. Legend has it that Mr. Zhang once blasted a void of a million miles in diameter into the sky with a single strike, causing the Heavenly Dao of this place to send down heavenly punishment. However, before it could even get close to Mr. Zhang, the heavenly punishment dissipated, unable to get any closer.

A thousand years ago, Shangguan Jin Hong and the fat shopkeeper did not believe the rumors and joined forces to discuss the Dao with Mr. Zhang. As a result, they were defeated. With one move, the two were almost on the verge of death. If Mr. Zhang had not shown mercy, the two would have certainly died.

The last person immediately returned to his sect, while the other, being a rogue cultivator, stayed behind to become the manager of the Red Dust Inn.

"Come with me. Mr. Zhang already knows. I'll take you there."

The fat shopkeeper snorted and led the two men up to the attic.

"Bang bang bang!"

The portly shopkeeper knocked on the door of the attic bedroom: "Mr. Zhang, Shangguan Jin Hong and his apprentice have arrived. I'll be going down now!"

Just as the portly shopkeeper finished speaking and was about to leave, he heard a voice come from inside the bedroom: "Come in too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened, and Li Daoxuan cautiously peered inside. He saw a white-haired young man sitting at the table, slowly sipping tea. Mr. Zhang was not wearing a mask, but when he looked at him, his features seemed to be shrouded in a white mist, making it impossible to discern anything about him.

"Little fellow, you are Li Daoxuan."

Mr. Zhang looked at the boy who was peeking at him and said kindly!

Li Daoxuan looked at Mr. Zhang, completely ignoring Mr. Zhang's question.

Just as Shangguan Jin Hong was about to signal Li Dao Xuan to reply, Mr. Zhang interrupted her, saying, "It's alright, just wait a moment."

"Buzz~"

The surrounding spiritual energy surged towards Li Daoxuan like a tide.

"Click, click~"

The bottleneck in his cultivation was instantly broken through by the surging spiritual energy, and his cultivation level was rapidly improving!

"Qi Refining Stage!"

"Foundation Building Stage!"

"Core Formation stage!"

"Early stage of Nascent Soul!"

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul!"

"Late stage of Nascent Soul!"

"Peak of the Nascent Soul stage!"

It wasn't until the peak of the Nascent Soul stage that the spiritual energy vortex was completely absorbed by Li Daoxuan!

Upon seeing this, Master Shangguan Jin Hong, who was watching from the side, immediately bowed and said, "I am Shangguan Jin Hong, and I thank Mr. Zhang."

"Get up. It wasn't my doing; it was all that kid's doing."

Mr. Zhang waved his hand and said.

Mr. Zhang glanced at Li Daoxuan again and said to Shangguan Jin Hong, "A life filled with passion is destined to bring misfortune."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jin Hong bowed again.

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, his figure turned into a wisp of white mist and disappeared into the bedroom.

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, what brings you to see Mr. Zhang? Why does it seem like the matter is settled after just one meeting?"

After Mr. Zhang left, a few breaths later, the fat shopkeeper straightened up and looked at Shangguan Jin Hong with some doubt. As for Li Daoxuan, he instantly entered the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, which was naturally a matter of Mr. Zhang's ability to do with a wave of his hand.

"Alas!" Shangguan Jin Hong sighed, looking at Li Daoxuan who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and said with emotion, "My disciple, despite having an innate Dao physique, is incapable of cultivation for some reason. Before this, he hadn't even embarked on the path of cultivation. I have to thank Mr. Zhang for this!"

While Shangguan Jin Hong and the fat shopkeeper were still talking, they didn't notice that there seemed to be thousands of floating rays around Li Dao Xuan, which eventually merged into his body.

"Ah~"

"Pfft~"

As those illusory images of the Great Dao merged into Li Daoxuan's body, that immense power began to impact Li Daoxuan's foundation, vanishing time and time again, only to be reborn again and again, over and over, making his foundation even deeper and more solid.

When Shangguan Jin Hong and the fat shopkeeper saw Li Dao Xuan suddenly vomiting blood and looking ferocious, they were about to step forward to check on him when they were stopped by a barrier. Then, several characters formed from Daoist energy appeared above the barrier.

This is his opportunity. If he perseveres and overcomes it, his future achievements will reach new heights. If he doesn't, why can't he live a normal life?
