Let Master Take a Look at It—New Book, Please Collect

Watching the group rummage through chests and cabinets.

Liu Qingfeng could not help but feel curious.

Why was it that when he told the truth, no one believed him, yet when he lied, so many people believed him?

"It's the scent of an immortal pill! The scent of an immortal pill!"

The Pill Hall Master stuck his head into the Pill Furnace and shouted loudly, beside himself with excitement.

"It truly is fragrant and sweet. Just one whiff is enough to make one feel as though they are floating among the immortals."

"This is a true immortal pill. What a pity we have no fate to even lay eyes on it."

"Where exactly is the immortal pill, Qingfeng?"

The crowd was wildly excited, scrambling to sniff the Pill Furnace.

"It really is here."

Liu Qingfeng pointed at the lump of black mud and said so.

"Forget it. I can't be bothered to ask you."

The other man could not be bothered to pay Liu Qingfeng any attention.

"Do you think it's possible that the immortal pill was successfully refined, and Changsheng has already eaten it?"

Someone said this.

"That is possible."

"That's right. If a Peerless Immortal Pill was successfully refined, it absolutely could not be tainted by even a trace of worldly air. Otherwise, it could easily regress into an acquired pill."

"Changsheng must have eaten it."

"Come on, come on, let's go find Changsheng."

Having made up their minds, the group immediately headed out to ask Changsheng.

"Changsheng, where is the Peerless Immortal Pill you refined?"

"Yes, yes, quickly let this old man have a look. I have refined pills my entire life, yet I have never seen what a Peerless Immortal Pill looks like."

"Changsheng, I'll only take one sniff, just one sniff. Don't worry, I won't eat your Peerless Immortal Pill."

Several elders immediately surrounded Lu Changsheng. Everyone else was filled with curiosity as well, wondering where Lu Changsheng had hidden the immortal pill.

"Huh? The immortal pill? Isn't it in Qingfeng's hands?"

Lu Changsheng said frankly.

"Qingfeng?"

"Changsheng, don't try to fool me."

"Changsheng, don't you know what sort of person your Martial Uncle Xu is? Am I the kind of person who would snatch the immortal pill the moment you took it out and run off to the Linglong Mountain Range?"

"Yes, yes, how could we possibly do something like that? Just take it out and let us have a look."

The group surrounded Lu Changsheng, earnestly trying to persuade him.

"Martial Uncles, the pill I refined is the pill sludge in Qingfeng's hand."

Lu Changsheng said seriously.

Clearly, no one believed him. Instead, they thought Lu Changsheng was deliberately hiding it.

"Enough, enough. You are all important figures in the Immortal Cultivation World. Look at yourselves, one after another—what kind of spectacle is this? Since Changsheng refuses to take it out, he must have his own difficulties. Why must you keep pressing him so?"

Qingyun Daoist stepped in to smooth things over.

The expressions of the crowd shifted slightly. Though they felt somewhat bitter, after thinking it over, Lu Changsheng's utter refusal to bring it out surely meant he had his own difficulties.

As high-ranking members of the Great Luo Holy Land, they truly could not keep forcing him. There would be plenty of days ahead; they would see it eventually.

Having thought this through, the group stopped pressing him.

Unable to see the Peerless Immortal Pill, everyone's interest was cut in half.

They each departed.

"Changsheng, come here for a moment."

Qingyun Daoist led Changsheng into the main hall.

The people outside had already gone back.

The main hall was exceptionally quiet.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat curious, not knowing what his master intended to do.

"What is it?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"I have already planned out your route for this journey, but considering that the mortal world is dangerous after all, I have prepared a few things for you. They are all inside this ring."

Qingyun Daoist removed an emerald-green ring and handed it to Lu Changsheng.

"Master, isn't this your beloved Universe Wishful Ring?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

This ring had an extraordinary origin. It was a semi-immortal artifact once worn by the founding patriarch of the Great Luo Holy Land. It could be said to have been passed down through generations. Aside from its basic storage function, it could also condense a Great Luo True Soul to protect its wearer.

Most importantly, this ring symbolized the Da Luo Holy Lord.

Lu Changsheng was genuinely moved that such an important item was being handed over to him.

"Changsheng, cultivators like us have difficulty bearing children. The higher one's realm, the less one can even dream of having children. Besides, your master is all alone in this world, with nothing to worry about except you."

"Though we have only been master and disciple for a short three years, I have already regarded you as my own child. They say when a son journeys the world, his father worries. You're heading out this time, and your master is truly worried."

"Tell me, what if something happens to you, or you catch some minor ailment? How could your master go on living?"

Qingyun Daoist spoke sorrowfully.

Though his words did not sound very pleasant, Lu Changsheng was truly moved.

He could feel that Qingyun Daoist had indeed cared for him as though he were a son. He would engrave this kindness in his heart.

"Changsheng, for the sake of your safety, your master secretly prepared a route for you. Keep this map safe. Those people have been properly arranged, but danger may still arise, so we must have another plan."

"In a few days, after you descend the mountain, follow this map. Even if someone harbors evil intentions, they will never know where you are."

"Your master has also arranged several people to protect you. With the Twelfth Grade Green Lotus and this ring as well, unless you encounter a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse, no one will be able to harm a single hair on your head."

"Most importantly, your master has already lit a Longevity Lamp for you. Taking ten thousand steps back, if a calamity truly befalls you, your master will do everything in his power—even if it costs the entire Great Luo Holy Land—to forcibly keep your Longevity Lamp burning."

Qingyun Daoist spoke with unwavering resolve.

"This disciple thanks Master!"

Lu Changsheng drew a deep breath, then knelt on the ground and bowed to Qingyun Daoist.

This bow was not merely one between master and disciple.

It was also one between father and son.

Master, master.

Half teacher.

Half father.

He had never expected Qingyun Daoist to have thought of everything for him, even preparing two routes for him.

How could Lu Changsheng not be moved?

"Get up, get up. Don't be like this, don't be like this."

Qingyun Daoist helped Lu Changsheng to his feet.

Then he looked Lu Changsheng up and down.

After that, Qingyun Daoist's eyes filled with curiosity as he said, "Changsheng, look, your master has helped you this much."

"Could you... let me take a look at the Peerless Immortal Pill?"

"Just one look. Don't worry, your master absolutely has no other intentions."

"Just one look."

Qingyun Daoist said with a thoroughly earnest expression.

In an instant, the favorable impression that had just risen mysteriously dropped by half.
