The sound was crisp and clear.

But this caused Li Shanshi's expression to change.

Lu Changsheng turned his gaze in that direction.

There were two people. One was a heroic man wearing a Dragon Robe. He was exceptionally brave and tall, standing seven feet tall. He walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, exuding an aura of majesty. Moreover, a dragon aura of fortune was gathered above his head. He was clearly a prince of some dynasty.

However, the one who spoke was not him, but a woman beside him, dressed in purple, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, somewhat mischievous, with a beautiful face, a real beauty in the making.

"Brother Lu, let's hurry up and go."

Li Shanshi spoke, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

This surprised Lu Changsheng, who wondered why Li Shanshi was so afraid of a little girl.

"Li Shanshi, why are you running away?"

The girl in purple appeared directly in front of Li Shanshi, blocking his path, her face filled with anger.

"Sigh, Moon Spirit Princess, it's not that I want to run away, it's just that every time you see me, you bring me all sorts of miscellaneous pills. I really can't stand it anymore."

Li Shanshi cried, and he helplessly spoke up, expressing his true feelings.

Elixir?

Lu Changsheng became somewhat curious.

"Li Shanshi, I knew you were born weak and kindly made medicine for you, yet you said such things. It's truly disheartening."

Moon Spirit Princess was a little angry, and she said this.

"No, Moon Spirit Princess, I took one of the pills you gave me last time and had diarrhea for a whole month, a whole month! I almost died. My father almost caused a scene, but I had no choice."

Li Shanshi spoke with a sob in her voice, which made people feel inexplicably sorry for her.

Just then, Moon Spirit Princess's brother spoke up.

"Moon Spirit, don't be silly!"

The latter walked over and looked at Li Shanshi, saying, "Brother Li, please don't blame me. My younger sister is naturally mischievous, and what she did before has indeed wronged you. My father also told me to apologize to you if I see you."

Moon Spirit Princess's brother spoke up politely, glancing at Lu Changsheng with a hint of curiosity, and asked, "And who is this gentleman?"

He was somewhat curious.

Li Shanshi immediately introduced, "Lu Mu Zhi, a new friend of mine."

After saying this, Li Shanshi looked at Lu Changsheng and introduced him, "Brother Lu, this person is Wang Chuan, the Crown Prince of the Taihua Dynasty in the Immortal Realm."

Li Shanshi introduced them in this way, and Lu Changsheng nodded. The latter also clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Brother Lu!"

Wang Chuan spoke with a smile on his face.

"Greetings, Brother Wang."

Lu Changsheng nodded as well.

"Since we have met by such coincidence, I have prepared a banquet. I hope you will not refuse, Brother Wang."

Li Shanshi said with a smile.

"Thank you very much."

Wang Chuan nodded, and Yue Ling, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Lu Changsheng. At the same time, she took out several pearl-like pills and said, "Fellow Daoist, I see that you are elegant and have a dignified bearing. These are Beauty Pill that I have made. After taking them, they can nourish your skin and improve your appearance. They will be of great help to a handsome man like you."

Yue Ling glanced at Lu Changsheng with a sly look. The pill in her hand emitted a strange phenomenon, like a pearl, and it really did seem to have a beautifying effect.

Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng was Yue Ling's ancestor when it came to alchemy.

"I also have some knowledge of Dao of Alchemy. This is Pill Formula that I wrote down casually in my spare time. Since you seem to have a connection with it, I'll give it to you."

Lu Changsheng calmly took out a Pill Formula. Back in the Lower Realm, when he was at the Mahayana, he wrote down many Pill Formulas, but he didn't have time to refine them, so he could only carry them with him. He never expected to meet a pill refining prodigy today, so he decided to give them to him.

"Pill Formula?"

Yue Ling was somewhat surprised, then took the Pill Formula, her beautiful face showing curiosity.

However, Lu Changsheng had already passed her and was walking ahead.

At this moment, Li Shanshi secretly transmitted his thoughts through Divine Sense.

"Brother Lu, you are truly wise. The pills she refines all have problems. In fact, we all know that she has no talent for refining pills at all, but she just happens to like refining pills. All the pills she refines have side effects. Last time she gave me some pills, and I almost lost my life. If I hadn't stopped my father, he probably would have led his men to kill his way to the Taihua Dynasty. Alas, Brother Lu, you must be careful."

Li Shanshi his Divine Sense to warn Lu Changsheng, fearing that Lu Changsheng might fall into the trap set by this little girl.

Lu Changsheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Soon, the group arrived at a restaurant.

Qing Province Ancient City is not a large city, so although there are many restaurants, most of them are not as luxurious as one might imagine. However, even so, this restaurant is still quite good, at least much better than the others.

The restaurant was empty; apart from a few waiters, all the other guests had been asked to leave by Li Shanshi.

As for how they were invited, everyone knows the answer.

"Gentlemen, please take your seats. I am the manager of this shop. I have already instructed the chef to prepare the dishes. Please wait a moment, and all the delicacies will be served."

As soon as we entered the restaurant, the manager came over and said this to us with a fawning expression.

He was very happy. After all, someone offered ten times the price to take over his restaurant. How could he not be happy?

Ten times the price! Ten thousand high-grade immortal stones! Qing Province Ancient City doesn't have much foot traffic to begin with, and his restaurant's business is even more so-so, even though many geniuses have gathered here recently.

However, it would take at least several thousand years to earn ten thousand high-grade immortal stones. Faced with such a temptation, he would naturally sell them directly and open a restaurant in another place.

"Alright, just arrange the best private room for us. Also, the restaurant doesn't need to be so deserted. Whoever comes in later can come in. All expenses will be paid by me, Li Shanshi."

Li Shanshi spoke, glancing at the empty restaurant before saying this.

He likes liveliness; an empty space is too desolate.

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, I will arrange everything properly."

The shopkeeper kept saying that since it wouldn't cost him any money, he could hire anyone, even the whole city.

"Fellow Daoists, let's go, let's go."

Li Shanshi was indeed very hospitable. He led everyone upstairs, and with the help of servants, they soon arrived at a private room.

The private room was large, and everyone sat down.

Lu Changsheng, Tianji Zi, Li Shanshi, Moon Spirit Princess, and Wang Chuan, a total of five people, sat inside.

Soon, in less than fifteen minutes, dishes were served one after another.

Yin Yang Fish Tofu, Frost Condensed Donkey Meat, Seven Colored Fish, and Three Treasure Chicken —one dish after another was served on the table.

Each dish was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making one's mouth water. Tianji Zi kept swallowing his saliva; he had a terrible life in the immortal realm and had never tasted anything like this before.

So just smelling this kind of odor is a bit unbearable.

"Brother Lu, Senior Tianji, Brother Wang, Moon Spirit Princess, it is truly an honor for me, Li Shanshi, to make friends with you all today. This cup of wine is my toast to you all. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Li Shanshi very intelligent, even shrewd and worldly-wise. He is extremely wealthy, yet he is so low-key and speaks in a way that makes people feel comfortable.

"Polite!"

"Brother Li, you flatter me."

Everyone raised their glasses, Lu Changsheng also raised his glass, but since he was wearing a mask, he couldn't drink for the time being; he just picked it up as a gesture.

Soon, after several rounds of drinks, Tianji Zi shamelessly picked up his chopsticks and began eating the delicacies on the table.

Moon Spirit Princess also picked up her chopsticks and began to enjoy the food.

However, Wang Chuan's voice rang out.

"Brother Li, do you know anything about the Immortal Emperor's Tomb?"

Wang Chuan spoke, looking at Li Shanshi, and asked in this way.

He knew that Li Shanshi was the son of the person in charge of the Ten Thousand Fortunes Pavilion, and that Ten Thousand Fortunes Pavilion's intelligence was definitely more than a hundred times better than that of his Taihua Dynasty.

After all, Ten Thousand Fortunes Pavilion's business extends beyond the entire Immortal Realm, even reaching the Six Realms and covering the entire world. Naturally, they have an easier time obtaining information than the others.

"The Immortal Emperor's Tomb?" Li Shanshi took a sip of wine, and then a hint of hesitation appeared on his chubby face. But after thinking for a moment, he continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, this Immortal Emperor's Tomb should be from the Ancient Era."

Li Shanshi said this.

From Ancient Era?

Wang Chuan and Yue Ling were shocked, but Lu Changsheng remained calm. What was the Ancient Era? He had even seen the more ancient Lord of Tianyuan, so the Ancient Era was nothing.

Tianji Zi was completely clueless, just kept picking at his food and not participating in the conversation, preferring to eat first and talk later.

"Since it is from Ancient Era, do you know which Celestial Emperor it was?"

Wang Chuan continued to ask, full of curiosity.

"I don't know for now. All I know is that it was a Celestial Emperor from Ancient Era," Li Shanshi said. Although he had a lot of information, it didn't mean he knew everything. It just meant that he knew about everything one step ahead of others.

Upon receiving this answer, Wang Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

"The Immortal Emperor's Tomb! If we could obtain some Immortal Emperor's treasures from within, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for us. The True Dragon Meet is about to begin, and we've heard that the Ten Thousand Mountains may be revived in this era. This is an incredible fortuitous opportunity, an indescribable fortuitous opportunity for us Immortal Realm cultivators."

"The competition among those above is fierce, but the competition among us prodigies is even fiercer. I am only half a step away from being included in the True Dragon Ranking."

Wang Chuan spoke, taking a sip of his drink, his tone resolute.

He is the Crown Prince of the Taihua Dynasty, a man of high status. However, he is currently ranked sixth on the Qian Kun Ranking, a mid-stage Immortal Lord, and not yet a True Dragon expert. Therefore, he works very hard, venturing into various secret realms in order to transform himself and be included on the True Dragon Ranking, thus becoming the true heir of the Taihua Dynasty.

After all, the Crown Prince of the Taihua Dynasty have always been the most outstanding talents on the True Dragon Ranking. His generation is somewhat weak, so naturally, he is under a lot of pressure.

Most importantly, among the four great dynasties, his strength is considered the weakest among his peers. The Crown Prince of the other three dynasties are ranked third and fourth respectively, one of them is on the True Dragon Ranking. He is under even greater pressure.

"Brother, I told you, as long as you eat this Dragon Transformation Pill, I guarantee you will be able to transform into a dragon, but you just don't believe me."

Upon hearing this, Moon Spirit Princess took out a golden pill surrounded by dragon energy and said the following.

Wang Chuan's expression changed slightly, and then he remained silent, clearly not wanting to pay attention to his younger sister.

"Although there are treasures in the Immortal Emperor's Tomb, there may also be dangers. A few days ago, a holy land forcibly opened the tomb of a High Antiquity Saint, resulting in the death of three Immortal Saints and serious injury to an Immortal King. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, no one can say for sure."

Li Shanshi spoke, his expression serious.

"The Tomb of a Celestial Saint could actually injure Immortal King? Is that true?"

Tianji Zi finished eating, he asked with some surprise, thinking that this was a bit unreasonable.

However, Wang Chuan shook his head and said, "Era are different, and the strong in each era are different. In the most ancient times, when chaos was first created and the Heavenly Dao was flawless, a Golden Immortal could easily kill a Celestial Venerable. In the mythological era, a Golden Immortal could easily kill a Celestial Lord."

"As time goes by, the Heavenly Dao gradually becomes flawed. The immortals and saints of Ancient Era are completely different concepts from the immortals and saints of this era."

Wang Chuan explained to Tianji Zi why a celestial saint's tomb could harm an Immortal King.

"But it can't be that terrifying, can it? There's a huge difference between a Celestial Saint and Immortal King; they're not even in the same league."

Tianji Zi also knew a little. He belonged to the divination and prediction lineage. Although his cultivation was not high, he knew a lot. He had some understanding of the universe and all things, and knew how terrifying the gap between them was.

"Firstly, there's this point. Secondly, Brother Wang didn't make it clear," Li Shanshi began, then continued eloquently, " In Ancient Era, many powerful figures, including many cultivators today, believed that people could be reborn. The higher their cultivation level, the more they believed they could be reborn. But to be reborn, one relies not on human effort, but on the power of heaven and earth."

"Therefore, these powerful beings will choose famous mountains and rivers in the world, bury themselves there, absorb the immortal energy of heaven and earth, and attempt to come back to life after hundreds of epochs."

"However, this is simply impossible. When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Once dead, they are dead. Even an Immortal Emperor cannot be resurrected. But the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more obsessed they are with immortality. Therefore, they spare no expense to use the earth's dragon Dragon Veins to change mountains, rivers, sun, and moon, and absorb the immortal energy of heaven and earth."

"They wanted to defy the heavens, but in the end, not only could they not be resurrected, but their corpses, by absorbing the immortal energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, gave birth to demonic fetuses. These demonic fetuses were terrifying beyond measure, without any thought, only knowing how to kill. Thus, once a celestial saint's corpse had been nourished by heaven and earth for a hundred epochs, its strength was equivalent to that of an Immortal King."

"Once it is born, it will destroy the world."

Li Shanshi revealed this Secrets, leaving Tianji Zi speechless.

He never expected such a thing to happen.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be easy for someone to create an immortal corpse, causing chaos throughout the world?"

Tianji Zi couldn't help but ask.

Wang Chuan shook his head in reply.

"Not necessarily. After all, with the passage of time, even the corpse of Immortal King will be corrupted, and in the end, not even bones will remain. To nurture a demonic fetus, one must have extremely terrifying mountains and rivers, and dragon Dragon Veins of heaven and earth. Such a treasure land is hard to find in the world."

Wang Chuan's words made everyone suddenly realize what was going on.

And just then...

There was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Young Master, several peerless geniuses have arrived, one of whom is Supreme Mysterious."

A sound rang out.

In an instant, it drew surprise from everyone.

There are two more updates to come, but I plan to finish writing them all and post them together, around 5 PM at the latest.

So everyone, stop waiting, go to sleep! It'll be there when you wake up!!!
