How the other three people were, Huo Zaiyuan and Long Zhanye didn’t know, these two were comfortably sleeping together in the space. On the second day, they woke up feeling refreshed {note1}.

{note1: 神清气爽}

Facing Xu Ruoming’s black hair, Huo Zaiyuan pretended to not see him. Through senior Dan Xia’s guiding, they rented a Spiritual Beast Aircraft from the Spiritual Beast Station. They flew towards Yudan Spirit. The Spiritual Beast Aircraft flew in the sky for a day, during the night, they finally reached the Yudan Spirit’s aircraft platform.

On the Yudan Spirit’s aircraft platform, a disciple was waiting for them. When he saw that the Spiritual Beast Aircraft landed, he rapidly came over. Opening the doors, the first person to come out was precisely senior Dan Xia, he was holding an invitation letter and passed it over to the receiving disciple. The receiving disciple took the invitation letter and looked at it, and then he respectfully nodded his head: “Dear Taoist Sect’s guests, please follow Xuan Xu. The guest rooms were already prepared for you long ago”

Leaving for the guest rooms with Xuan Xu, Long Zhanye carried Huo Zaiyuan and again walked into a bedroom. The other three people were rejected outside the door. Senior Dan Xia didn’t have the slightest amount of unusualness, he still had a gentle and soft smile. Looking at the four junior brothers, Lu Rong seemed worried, Xu Ruoming seemed so angry that it felt like he wanted to kill someone.

In the early morning of the second day, the Yudan Spirit disciple led the five people in the Yudan Spirit’s Morning Lessons Courtyard. Dan Xia took the other four people to sit on the left seats. At this moment, in the Morning Lessons Courtyard, besides the many Yudan Spirit disciples, there were other sect’s disciples, thus the whole Morning Lessons Courtyard was very noisy.

“Cough cough!” suddenly, a coughing resounded in the Morning Lessons Courtyard, the original noise instantly quietened down.

They just saw a Yudan Spirit’s disciple wearing a light green robe, holding a pile of books and walking in the Morning Lessons Courtyard. After putting the books on the short table, he retreated. A three generations big elder entered in the Morning Lessons Courtyard, looking at him he seemed to have some special demeanor of a transcendent being {note2}.

{note2: this idiom is now correct! 仙风道骨}

“Heaven!, that gray haired elder is the founder of the Yudan Spirit for three generations, Ling Dan! Legend says, this Dan was already coming to an end, how come…”

“I heard that, a few millenium ago, an evil spirit brought disasters upon lives. The Yudan Spirit’s guarded treasure has been stolen, the third generation founder experienced a heavy injury too…”

“So that’s what happened!”

“No wonder…”

Sitting at one side of Huo Zaiyuan heard the other people’s murmurs, he slowly turned his face to look at the calm and collected Long Zhanye sitting with legs crossed on the cattail grass. He slightly got closer and whispered: “Are they talking about you?”

“It must be me, you think that other than your husband who is this capable, who else could it be?” Long Zhanye answered complacently, as if it was a glorious matter.

“Nonsense, my husband what…” listening to Long Zhanye’s words, Huo Zaiyuan’s face slightly reddened. This guy, always bullying him in this way… heng, wait after he has restored his gong ti, then he will certainly give him a beating.

The lecture began. The third elder wasn’t only worthy of being the famous third elder founder, but even explaining how to make Pills of Immortality benefitted all the people in the Morning Lessons Courtyard. This lecture lasted for one day and one night, and still a lot of people wished to continue.

“Yudan Spirit is truly worthy of being the most awesome sect in the Cultivation Boundary on making Pills of Immortality! I never expected that they could be concocted in such a way! After returning, I have to try that elder’s method!” Huo Zaiyuan’s eyes shined.

“Feel free to try then. I won’t mind helping you by eating the Spiritual Cinnabars” looking at the little guy brimming with joy, Long Zhanye’s eyes showed a doting look, it was very clear that before he has served Tianqi as a white mouse and ate many Immortality Pills that Tianqi has tested.

“Don’t worry, I will absolutely make the best use of everything” Huo Zaiyuan patted on Long Zhanye’s shoulder.

“You are really willing to part with me”

“This is a must”

While the two were playfully quarreling, a low laugh suddenly could be heard. Huo Zaiyuan and Long Zhanye quickly turned their faces towards the direction where the laugh came from, and saw an old and gray haired elder with a demeanor of a transcendent being caressing his own shining white beard, he was smilingly looking at those two people. This old man wasn’t someone else, but that Yudan Spirit’s third generation founder.

“Greetings, third founder grandpa” Huo Zaiyuan bent over to make his salutations, he tugged at Long Zhanye to greet together.

“Good, greetings” the third ancestor walked on the other two people’s side, his smile diminished and then softly sighed: “Although Yudan Spirit is good at the art of making Immortality Pills, but from now on this art must be passed on to you this group of excellent children”

“You third founder held this lecture, because you won’t live for that long?” Long Zhanye said while looking at the third ancestor.

“Zhan!… senior Gu!” Huo Zaiyuan jumped because he was scared of his straightforward and disrespectful speech, he tugged at Long Zhanye and pushed him behind his body, and showing a bright smile: “Hehe… third founder grandpa, please don’t be offended, he… è!…” Long Zhanye this idiot! How can he talk in this way! If he made the third founder angry, then what were they supposed to do…!

“Hehe… it’s alright, it’s alright… this small Taoist friend is really frank and outspoken!” very clearly the third founder didn’t put Long Zhanye’s words to heart, he lightly rubbed his white beard and slowly said: “I got old, dying of illness is a normal thing… this old man has lived enough too”

“Then is there anything in your heart that is unreconciled, ng…”

“Senior Gu!, you can’t be so disrespectful towards third founder grandpa!” Huo Zaiyuan vigorously covered Long Zhanye’s mouth.

“Hehe, it’s alright, it’s alright…” he was still smiling kindly, and didn’t have any thought of blaming: “Correct, my heart indeed is not unreconciled. The matter of losing the Yudan Spirit’s guarded treasure, did you hear it too? That treasure was exactly lost from my hands…”

“Then do you hate it? Do you hate the person who snatched your treasure away?” being taught by Huo Zaiyuan, Long Zhanye finally didn’t dare to speak rudely.

“Yes, obviously I hate it, but… a millenium has passed, this hatred already blew away like wind, it flew away like running water… hatred, what’s the use? Even if the treasure and Yudan Spirit were brought together by fate, when that time comes, when it returns… but this old man regrets that I will never see that treasure once again” the old man sighed.

“Founder grandpa please don’t say these, you will certainly live enough to see the Yudan Spirit’s treasure again” Huo Zaiyuan resolutely said, firmly holding his hands.

“Hehe, I hope so. Even if I had some years left and could see the treasure, I would die without any regrets”

Inside the space, Huo Zaiyuan sat cross-legged in front of the Flat Peach Immortal Tree, from time to time he would caress that thick and solid peach tree trunk, his face distressed. Flat Peach Immortal Tree’s roots already spread through the whole space’s underground, in addition it blended with the Spiritual Resin of ten years ago, the Flat Peach Immortal Tree grew even more thick and strong. Probably the roots now already penetrated more deeply, and wanting to give the Flat Peach Immortal Tree to Yudan Spirit… then he had to dig out…: “A…! What to do!!!”

“Master, this… are there really no problems? Master Huo has been worryingly sitting before the peach tree for six hours, moreover, if he still clutch his hair, he will soon become bald…” with troubled heart, Luer looked at the distressed person outside the house.

“The Flat Peach Immortal Tree’s roots already went deep in the ground, so much to cover the whole space, even if he returned it to Yudan Spirit, he is also powerless” the excellent Long Zhanye cupped his hands, looking at the distressed person, not far away. He slightly smirked.

Looking at Long Zhanye’s expression, Luer’s mouth twitched, murmuring in his heart ‘Master, stop it! You just want to see young master making a fool of himself’.

“Zhanye!” in the end the distressed person reached his limit, Huo Zaiyuan looked at the man leaning on the door of the bamboo house. Pursing his lips he threw himself over, his eyes gleaming with tears… that expression was so pitiful…

“Good, good… don’t cry” holding Huo Zaiyuan’s thin waist, the handsome face got closer, intimately kissing those soft and fair cheeks, soft and red lips.

“Zhanye, you must have a solution, right? This tree was stolen by you from Yudan Spirit, so let’s return it, alright? If not that founder grandpa won’t be happy!”

Hugging Huo Zaiyuan, Long Zhanye slightly narrowed his eyes and slowly said: “En… actually there are some solutions, but I can’t remember, how about you kiss me, perhaps I will start to remember…”

Luer looked at the two people kissing each other very sweetly, he couldn’t help but sigh… ‘My poor and simple young master, tricked again’

……

After the lecture finished and each big sect left one after another, on a certain day, three things appeared in the third elder founder’s bedroom. Immortal Peaches like glistening and translucent soccer balls bound with golden soil, Peach Tree seeds like bean sprouts in a basket of bamboo, and on one side there was also a letter.

The letter was written in a flamboyant way and so arrogantly:

“The old man wants to die, how can it be easy, the Peaches of Immortality have been returned, from now on, this deity and Yudan Spirit have no more debts”
