The person who broke their own Vase Head had been found, but Danyangzi couldn't be happy at all. He looked at Zheng Kun's remains with a complicated expression and kicked them away fiercely.
"I almost treated you like half a son! But you treat me like this!"
The entire cave was silent, with only Danyangzi's rapid breathing audible.
This situation lasted for the time it takes to burn Two Incense Sticks. Danyangzi slowly raised his hand and pointed directly at Li Huowang in the crowd. "You, come over here and kowtow to the Founding Ancestor."
Li Huowang was slightly stunned, but eventually walked over under everyone's gaze and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the three sculptures on the wall.
After completing the entire process of three prostrations and nine kowtows while holding the Three Incense Sticks, Li Huowang understood what the other party was about to do. "From now on, you are this Daoist's closed-door disciple!"
"Yes, Master." Li Huowang was so excited that his heart was almost trembling. This moment has finally arrived. Don't worry, baldy, I will definitely help you attain the Dao and 'become an immortal'!!
"Come with me, I have something I want you to do." Danyangzi carefully held the remains of the Vase Head in his palm.
Following behind Danyangzi, Li Huowang revisited his old haunt, arriving at his residence.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!" The black lines wrapped around the stone slab flew swiftly like long snakes, burrowing into Danyangzi's sleeve. The so-called Heavenly Book was completely presented before his eyes. "Can you understand what's written on it?"
Li Huowang pretended to carefully discern it before asking with some doubt, "Master, you told me before that the method of Immortal Ascension requires the dual cultivation of Inner Elixir and Outer Elixir to become an immortal? But that's not right, there's no Inner Elixir mentioned here."
"Hmm? What?!" Danyangzi looked at the corpse of the Vase Head beside him with an uncertain expression.
"Absolutely true." Li Huowang said decisively.
Heaven knows what that Vase Head made up before. If I can't follow up, I'm afraid I'll be exposed directly. Rather than that, I might as well be frank and start over.
Besides, I'm not talking nonsense, this is the truth. The so-called Immortal Ascension Technique that Danyangzi had before was indeed made up by that Vase Head, it's completely fake.
Of course, the one I'm making up next won't be real either.
Danyangzi pondered with an uncertain expression. At first, he didn't want to believe what Li Huowang said, but the more he thought about it, the more suspicious points he found.
No wonder I haven't become an immortal for so long, no wonder this girl said that the things written on this Heavenly Book would change and couldn't be memorized by rote. So that's what's going on.
"Pah~Pah!" A disgusting glob of green phlegm was spat directly onto the Vase Head by Danyangzi. He turned around and looked at Li Huowang, "Boy, that little girl could deceive me, you wouldn't be deceiving me too, would you?"
Li Huowang answered decisively. "Master, this is the method to become an immortal! How could I deceive you! I want to become an immortal too!"
"Good!" Danyangzi clapped his hands heavily and laughed, "Then this time, we, master and disciple, will become immortals together."
Li Huowang's expression froze for a moment, then became extremely excited. "Is this true? Master, is this really possible? Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!!"
Danyangzi carefully observed his expression and, after not finding anything unusual, nodded knowingly.
"Well, don't rush with the pills first. Tell me that set of cultivation methods first, and we, master and disciple, will practice it thoroughly. There's still some time before the New Year."
"Yes, Master!" Li Huowang then told Danyangzi a set of so-called Inner and Outer Grand Circulation cultivation methods.
Li Huowang stayed in Danyangzi's room for a long time that day, not returning until late at night.
Li Huowang walked through the tunnel with a lantern, happily planning that everything was proceeding smoothly and that his goal would soon be achieved.
Having been suppressed for so long, finally something good has happened.
When he arrived at the material room, he found that the remaining people were indeed not asleep.
Seeing that it was Li Huowang, everyone swarmed up at once, their eyes filled with excitement. Everyone understood what today's events represented. Li Huowang had already provided them with information beforehand.
"Don't worry, wait for my good news, you can all go home soon."
As soon as Li Huowang said this, everyone was almost moved to tears. They could finally go home.
"Senior Brother Li, you are my re-born parents! You are a living Bodhisattva!!" One of the polio patients with inconvenient hands and feet knelt on the ground excitedly, about to kowtow to Li Huowang.
He seemed to have set an example, and others followed suit.
After Li Huowang persuaded them for a while, he finally stopped the farce. "If it weren't for everyone's help this noon, I would have been done for. Does that mean I still have to kowtow to you?"
When they got up from the ground, everyone was beaming with joy, as happy as if it were the New Year.
Looking at the smiling faces in front of him, Li Huowang felt a warmth in his heart. In this strange world, these guys with strange appearances were his companions.
"Senior Brother Li, did I act well? That pockmarked head was like an idiot, completely fooled by me." Gouwa patted his shriveled chest, grinning and asking Li Huowang for credit.
"Indeed, you acted well. If you hadn't done that, Danyangzi wouldn't have given up so easily."
Just as others were surrounding Li Huowang, asking questions, someone was worried about other things.
"Senior Brother Li, are you okay? Did he really not make things difficult for you?" Bai Lingmiao walked over and asked with some concern.
Hearing this, Li Huowang recalled Danyangzi's words about becoming immortals together. He knew that Danyangzi was trying to use him as a guinea pig, but there was no need to tell her.
"He's even asked me to translate the contents of the Heavenly Book for him now, how could anything happen to me? Don't worry, I'm fine."
After chatting for a while, Li Huowang's expression turned serious, "The first day of the new year is almost over, and those Lord Yous will be back from the market soon. Let's make it short, I still need your help. Has your grandfather told you any other stories before?"
He hadn't finished compiling the Immortal Ascension Technique pills in the Heavenly Book yet.
Simple Cinnabar, this mercury ore, was no longer enough for him. He wanted to put other things in it, the more wicked the better.
He had not forgotten Danyangzi's strength. He had to make sure he was completely dead.
