Clearly, Xu Jian did not recognize Lu Changsheng.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to say something like "300 yuan for a monthly subscription for acquaintances".

"Xu Jian, isn't this person...?"

This time, Li Ran noticed Lu Changsheng. He came to Xu Jian's side, pointed at Lu Changsheng, and looked at him with curiosity in his eyes.

"Who is it? Do you know him? It's not Old Li. Didn't we already agree on this? At most, acquaintances can get a discount. You're expecting it to be free? That's not in accordance with the rules."

Xu Jian was a little stunned, still struggling with the discount issue.

"No, don't you think he looks like Senior Brother Changsheng?"

Li Ran was taken aback for a moment, but quickly voiced her doubts.

In an instant, Xu Jian froze, looking at Li Ran in disbelief, and then at Lu Changsheng.

"Senior Brother Changsheng?"

Xu Jian looked at Lu Changsheng, his words stammering.

"What discount are you getting now?"

Lu Changsheng looked at Xu Jian and slowly spoke.

He never expected that these two, who were supposed to be Holy Son of the Lower Realm, would end up like this. It was truly shameful.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, hiss!!!"

Xu Jian and Li Ran were so excited that they stopped charging Lu Changsheng and gave him a big hug.

The two of them were extremely excited. They had been in the Immortal Realm for decades and had not seen a single old friend. They had stumbled and struggled all the way, struggling at the bottom of the Immortal Realm, and now they had made a name for themselves. So seeing Lu Changsheng now made them incredibly happy.

Just then, the old man who was collecting Spirit Stone couldn't help but look at Xu Jian and Li Ran.

"Why aren't you accepting Spirit Stone? This line is so long, I'm exhausted."

The old man spoke, sounding somewhat frustrated.

"Old Chen, we've met some friends. You can continue accepting the money; let's go have a chat first."

Xu Jian said with extreme excitement.

"What? Look at how many people there are."

The old man spoke, somewhat annoyed, but Xu Jian and Li Ran ignored him. However, Tianji Zi slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, seeing how much trouble you're in, I'll help you collect it. Don't worry, I'm an honest person and I would never embezzle your immortal stones."

Tianji Zi took the initiative to step forward and speak, saying the following.

Old Chen was taken aback. He glanced at Tianji Zi, who had an air of otherworldly elegance and indeed looked quite presentable.

"Senior Tianji? You're here too! Alright, alright, you can help us collect them, one hundred per person."

Xu Jian spoke up, then pulled Lu Changsheng aside for a chat.

Tianji Zi accepted the money with a smile on his face.

He certainly wouldn't embezzle such a small amount of money, but as he kept collecting it, suddenly, Tianji Zi looked at a young man and said...

"Fellow Daoist, I see a dark aura around your forehead. I have a feeling you're about to encounter trouble."

On the side of the Ancient Immortal Sect, Xu Jian held Lu Changsheng's hand, extremely excited.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, you don't know, since we ascended to the Immortal Realm, we haven't had a single day of peaceful sleep. Especially in the beginning, we were always on edge. Our master has already sent out the message, but decades have passed and no one has contacted us."

"We are here to earn immortal stones in the hope of finding our master and seeing some old friends. Unfortunately, the immortal realm is so vast that finding those old friends is extremely difficult."

Xu Jian spoke, saying this.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, how did you find us?"

Li Ran also spoke up, asking Lu Changsheng how he found them.

"It was your master who sent me here to find you. This is a map of the Great Shu Sect. Your master is currently in the Great Shu Sect."

Lu Changsheng spoke the truth.

"Really?"

"I knew it, my master would never abandon me. Senior Brother Changsheng, let me tell you something else in secret. There might be a peerless inheritance here. You can't miss it."

Xu Jian was extremely excited to hear that it was his master who had sent Lu Changsheng to find him. He was also very touched, as he was naturally happy to know that his master still cared about him.

But Xu Jian immediately brought up another matter.

"A peerless inheritance?" Lu Changsheng was a little confused. He glanced at the few lonely mountain peaks and looked completely bewildered.

That's it?

A peerless legacy?

Are you kidding me?

To be honest, Lu Changsheng didn't believe that a so-called hermit living in seclusion could possess a truly unparalleled inheritance and still fall into poverty.

That's clearly unlikely.

"It's true."

Li Ran immediately spoke up; he was more reliable than Xu Jian.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, come closer, I'll tell you something." Li Ran took a deep breath, then pulled Li Ran Lu Changsheng along for a while before speaking mysteriously.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, it's like this. When we first came to the Immortal Realm, we were penniless and could only work as laborers. Later, we met Old Chen, who is the Sect Leader of this sect. However, it's not called the Ancient Immortal Sect, but the Little Azure Sect. But Old Chen told us about it."

"Their ancestors were indeed extraordinary, possessing unparalleled lineage. At first, we didn't believe it, and even Old Chen himself didn't believe it. But just recently, Xu Jian and I had a dispute over something, which escalated into a fight, and we accidentally smashed a mountain peak."

Do you know what happened?

Li Ran transmitted his thoughts Divine Sense, speaking with utmost seriousness and earnestness. Judging from his tone, he really did have some skill.

What happened?

Lu Changsheng became curious.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, after we shattered the mountain, a bronze plaque appeared with the words 'Ancient Immortal Sect' written on it. That plaque is at least a hundred epochs old. Although its immortal nature is gone, its material is extraordinary. So we concluded that there is indeed an ancient tradition here."

"It's just that for some reason, it was buried in the past, and this is not the first time such a thing has happened in the Immortal Realm."

Xu Jian spoke first, saying what Li Ran wanted to say.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that this place actually had a lineage.

"Since you possess a peerless inheritance, why do you announce it so publicly? Can't you just study it yourselves?"

Lu Changsheng frowned, feeling that they had been somewhat reckless.

Li Ran simply shook his head.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, we're definitely not that stupid. The reason we did this is simply because we're poor. At first, we did try our best to comprehend the Dao here, but after a month, we didn't understand anything at all."

"In addition, this kind of thing is hard to hide. The more you hide it, the bigger the trouble it will cause. So we came up with a solution: charge a fee so that everyone can come and comprehend it. Firstly, we can earn some immortal stones, and secondly, we can let people comprehend the heritage of this place."

"If someone truly comprehends this peerless inheritance, to be honest, they'll give us some benefit, won't they? Senior Brother Changsheng, don't you think?"

Xu Jian said earnestly.

Upon closer listening, it's true that Xu Jian is quite quick-witted.

They've even come up with this level of thinking.

Indeed, it is said that a common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. If you see a peerless inheritance but cannot learn it, and instead hide it, that is the biggest loss. When it is discovered, no one will care about your past actions.

The saying goes, "Inheritance is based on merit," and you can't even explain whether this inheritance has anything to do with you.

It would be better to make it public and collect some immortal stones along the way. One hundred immortal stones per stone, no one will feel like they're losing out. If they comprehend it, they'll make a killing; if they don't, one hundred low-grade immortal stones isn't much at all.

In some major cities, the cost of entering and exiting may exceed one hundred immortal stones.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, to be honest, why don't you give it a try? If you really comprehend that peerless inheritance, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for you."

"If Old Chen wasn't lying to us, he said that whoever possesses this peerless inheritance will be invincible in the immortal realm."

Xu Jian said this, urging Lu Changsheng to comprehend the peerless inheritance.

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Changsheng, if you used even one-tenth of your talent from the Lower Realm, you could probably easily comprehend this peerless inheritance. Let's keep the good stuff in the family."

Li Ran nodded in agreement, inviting Lu Changsheng to go and comprehend the Daoist principles.

Now, Lu Changsheng was genuinely tempted.

He lacks nothing but powerful immortal techniques. The Daoist methods in the Lower Realm can still be used, but they are definitely not suitable for immortal techniques in the immortal realm.

If Daoist magic is suitable for immortals, then what is the point of Immortal Method?

"You're not kidding me?"

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, then couldn't help but ask the two of them another question.

It wasn't that he thought the two were unreliable, but he just wondered, how could such a supreme inheritance be in a place like this?

If not, what if I sit there like an idiot for months or years, and then suddenly say, "Ah, I've figured it out"?

Isn't this just a case of having nothing better to do?

"Senior Brother Changsheng, don't you trust the two of us? We're not like that guy Liu Qingfeng."

Xu Jian couldn't help but speak up.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded. Indeed, although these two were not exactly respectable people, they were definitely much more reliable than Liu Qingfeng.

"Oh, by the way, how is Qing Feng doing in the Lower Realm?"

Lu Changsheng asked casually.

"Qing Feng? He's probably very powerful in the Lower Realm, Da Luo Holy Lord, and Senior Brother Changsheng. Let me tell you, I don't know why, but ever since you left, Qing Feng has been like he's been bewitched, always being number one in everything he does."

"Whether it's sword control, alchemy, or formations, there's basically nothing he can't do. His cultivation speed is also fast. None of us can beat him. In fact, when we had a sparring match, Qing Feng single-handedly suppressed more than a dozen of us. His swordsmanship is superb."

"Senior Brother Changsheng, to be honest, did you secretly teach him something? Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?"

Xu Jian asked earnestly, while involuntarily recalling that unbearable past in the Lower Realm.

"Yes, after you ascended to immortality, all the powerful figures in our Immortal Cultivation World breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone worked desperately to develop and improve themselves. Later, we agreed to a competition between the Holy Lord. Qing Feng alone overwhelmed all the heroes. Senior Brother Changsheng, do you remember Thunder Child?"

Li Ran nodded and said the same thing.

"Thunder Child? Let me write this down." Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized who it was.

"I remember, I remember!" Lu Changsheng nodded.

"That Thunder Child, didn't he provoke you back then? Later, he successfully transcended his tribulation and came to the Great Luo Holy Land to discuss the Dao, but what was the result? He was suppressed by Qing Feng with one hand, and it was a miserable sight."

Li Ran revealed something that shocked Lu Changsheng.

Qing Feng is actually this powerful?

This doesn't make sense!

In Lu Changsheng's memory, Liu Qingfeng was not much better than himself; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a good-for-nothing.

He's timid and cowardly, a big mouth and a gossip, and good for nothing. He almost exploded while trying to refine a pill.

How come he suddenly became so strong after I left?

Did you secretly get extra lessons?

Lu Changsheng was curious, but since Qing Feng wasn't around, he decided not to say anything for the time being and would ask him properly next time they met.

"Anyway, Senior Brother Changsheng, Qing Feng is probably very happy down there. He is revered as the Holy Lord wherever he goes. I just don't know if he has ascended yet, but it should be soon."

Xu Jian said this.

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Changsheng Qing Feng's matter is a small matter, but the peerless inheritance is a big matter. We should keep the benefits within the family. I'll make room for you."

Li Ran nodded and then led Lu Changsheng directly to the main peak of the Little Azure Sect.

The main peak was overcrowded, with almost no place to stand. However, Li Ran stepped in and, after much persuasion and the return of several hundred immortal stones, cleared out a not-so-small spot. There wasn't a single person within at least ten meters around it.

The plaque of 'Ancient Immortal Sect' hung not far away in the sky, and everyone stared at the plaque, beginning to comprehend the Dao.

This caused Lu Changsheng to fall silent.

How can one attain enlightenment in this way?

Can you find enlightenment by looking at a plaque?

Lu Changsheng had nothing more to say. If Li Ran and Xu Jian hadn't insisted that there was a peerless inheritance here, he would never have sat here.

Close your eyes.

Lu Changsheng didn't try to comprehend the Dao, but instead let go of everything and tried to capture some details to see if he could understand anything.

And so, time passed little by little.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

Li Ran and Xu Jian were still collecting immortal stones, Tianji Zi even further, setting up a stall on the side and starting to charge for fortune telling.

And you know what? Business is booming, given the huge foot traffic.

However, at that moment, a figure appeared.

In an instant, it caused a huge uproar.

"The Supreme Mysterious! He's here!"

"The Supreme Mysterious?"

"Has a true peerless genius finally arrived?"

"The Supreme Mysteries of the Ten Great Holy Lands and the Supreme Mysterious Supreme Holy Land have all arrived?"

"I never expected to see such a peerless genius in such a remote and impoverished place. These hundred low-grade immortal stones are definitely worth it."

The sound rang out, and the crowd erupted in cheers. The Little Azure Sect was in an uproar because of the appearance of this Supreme Mysterious.

However, soon after, another figure appeared, and the crowd became even more excited.

"Ye Rujin has also appeared!"

"Hiss! One of the three most beautiful women in the East Immortal Realm, the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Immortal Sect."

The people were in an uproar, even more so than when the Supreme Mysterious was revealed.
