Immortal Legends!

Yuan Lai was captured, and the Chang'an Black Tea Case came to an abrupt end.

Su Wuming and the others hadn't even traced the hallucinogenic ingredient in the tea—Western Region Illusion Grass—before they encountered the mastermind behind it all ahead of schedule. This was undoubtedly Su Haoming's doing.

The shot he fired at Yin Shirou completely upended the plans of both sides.

Yuan Lai, having lost his most important CEO, flew into a rage and decided to eliminate Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming ahead of schedule, triggering a chain of subsequent events.

Lin Yu and Su Haoming saw no issue with this.

After leaving the Ghost Market, the two parted ways. Su Haoming secretly slipped back to the County Lieutenant's residence, shed Yu Hao's disguise, and excitedly shared his recent experiences in the Chat Group while waiting for his cousin and the others to arrest Yuan Lai.

As for Lin Yu, having finally "shaken off" the lock of his Main Universe, he naturally wanted to enjoy his long-lost freedom and take a proper stroll through this vibrant world!

But before that, Yun Ye from the Frieren World also had to bid Lin Yu farewell.

Lin Yu's True Body saw him off warmly and, before his departure, even gave Yun Ye a small gift—a Magic Pistol identical to Su Haoming's.

Although the crystal on the pistol hadn't been modified by the Internal Circulation Matrix, Yun Ye now possessed an Artificial Spiritual Root and could fully recharge it using his own Magic Power.

The same applied to Su Haoming, but at the time, they didn't want to expose their identities, so they dared not use the pistols.

With a burst of intense silver light, the world before him gradually faded away.

Yun Ye couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, he was back in his own room.

Looking at the gentle sunlight streaming in through the window, Yun Ye realized it must already be the next morning.

He glanced at the books, Spirit Stones, and pistol he carried. After a moment's thought, he tucked the Spirit Stones into his chest, slid the pistol into his waistband, and hid the books in a secret compartment beneath his bedboards before pushing open the door and stepping out.

"Creak—"

The sound of the door opening startled the person lying on the recliner by the entrance.

Yun Ye's raised right foot hovered in midair as he stared in astonishment at the aged face before him.

"Grandma?!"

"Why are you here?"

Old Madam Yun roused herself from the recliner and said with a chuckle, "Ye'er spoke so solemnly yesterday, it must have been about your Immortal master!"

"The servants and guards, though carefully selected and loyal, still have hearts separated by flesh. How could I trouble them with such an important matter? As for our own family, every last one of them is clumsy and dull-witted. Letting them stand guard—I simply couldn't rest easy..."

Yun Ye felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but his expression turned helpless. "So you decided to stand guard for me yourself?"

Before he finished speaking, the old lady stood up, and Yun Ye quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Don't do this again, Grandmother. Nothing I do is worth more than your health!"

The old lady smiled and shook her head, lowering her voice to ask, "Ye'er's business... is it done?"

"It's done!"

Feeling the Magic Power flowing through his Ren and Du Meridians, Yun Ye smiled and leaned close to her ear. "Don't go out for the next few days, Grandmother. I've learned some remarkable skills—perhaps I can help regulate your body..."

While Yun Ye was enjoying a warm moment with his family, Lin Yu in the Frieren World wasn't idle either.

Just as when Su Haoming had returned earlier, Lin Yu observed Yun Ye's return and discovered that the Chat Group's method of return employed an even more profound technique.

Unlike the arrival portal, the return seemed more like the Frieren World's rejection combined with the attraction of the Member World.

This couldn't help but disappoint Lin Yu.

He had hoped that after the stay time ended, he could leave his Clone behind in the Tang Gui World!

But now it seemed that might cause irreversible disaster in that world...

Of course, nothing in the world is difficult for those who set their minds to it.

Lin Yu wasn't discouraged. Instead, he planned to use the remaining time to thoroughly study the method of staying.

This wasn't empty talk—Lin Yu already had two feasible approaches in mind.

The first was to bypass the Chat Group and directly connect to the Member World.

As early as his first use of the Invitation Letter, Lin Yu had learned some of the Chat Group's techniques.

Now, without needing to use his own authority, he could open a stable portal between the Frieren World and his Main Universe.

If he could also learn the Chat Group's method of locating Member Worlds, he could bypass the Chat Group entirely and enter a Member World directly!

However, due to the nature of the Endless Void, pinpointing the coordinates of a Member World was bound to be extremely difficult. Hence, Lin Yu's second approach—to deceive the World Consciousness and sneak into the Member World.

The Chat Group's return mechanism relied on the world's own rejection and attraction forces.

This meant that during the stay, these two forces had already been neutralized by the Chat Group's methods.

Lin Yu was eager to know exactly how the Chat Group achieved this. If he could learn this technique, or draw inspiration from it to find a similar method, he could stay in this world indefinitely!

Back to the main point—for Lin Yu's vast, ocean-like consciousness, multitasking was merely the basics.

While researching these two methods, he could also fully enjoy the feeling of freedom.

Thus, over the next twenty-three hours, the Tang Gui World welcomed a true Immortal, and within a single day, countless legends about this Immortal emerged.

In Yanzhou, Henan Circuit, a group of literati watching the sunrise at Mount Tai saw an Immortal appear on Dai Peak. His steps trod empty air, each footfall turning into clouds, stirring the surrounding sea of clouds into endless turmoil before he finally vanished into the rosy glow.

In Yuezhou, Jiangnan Circuit, a pleasure boat returning from Dongting Lake spotted a white-robed youth drifting on the lake. The boat's singing girls, struck by his handsomeness, teased him with words. Annoyed beyond endurance, the youth waved his sleeve, summoning clouds and mist to conceal his form.

After he went ashore, the singing girls were astonished and buzzed with discussion. The boat owner had a flash of inspiration and actively spread the tale, thereafter renaming the vessel "Meeting the Immortal."

In Jianzhou, on Mount Wuyi, a renowned tea picker trekked across Jiulongke. Beneath the Great Red Robe Mother Tree, he saw a Handsome Youth sitting on a branch, fingertips condensing dew into a cup, waving a hand to draw sunlight, boiling and steeping tea in midair.

In an instant, a strange fragrance filled the valley, seeping into the heart and refreshing the spirit.

Drawn by the aroma, the tea picker couldn't help stepping forward. The youth smiled and invited him, casually summoning clouds. The two used clouds as a teapot and mist as cups, savoring tea and discussing the Way.

When the pot was drained, the youth vanished without a trace. The tea picker awoke as if from a daze, realizing he had encountered a True Immortal.

In Nanzhou, Shannan Circuit, there were four great masters of qin, tea, calligraphy, and poetry, collectively known as the Four Sons of Nanzhou.

Among them was one named Lu Gongfu, whose qin skills were unmatched, earning him the title of Saint of the Ancient Zither.

At that time, Lu Gongfu was playing the qin for pleasure at home when an Immortal rode by on a cloud. Moved by the music, the Immortal paused to listen.

When the piece ended, the Immortal clapped and smiled, descending from the clouds into the courtyard. He offered four green dates in exchange for one of Lu Gongfu's qin melodies.

Startled yet delighted, Lu Gongfu gladly agreed. Afterward, the Immortal vanished without a trace. Lu Gongfu summoned the Four Sons and shared the dates among them. To their astonishment, each grew new black hair, all hidden ailments vanished, and they showed signs of rejuvenation.

Beyond this, on Mount Hua in Huazhou, Guannei Circuit, a new Immortal stone carving appeared at the summit.

In Yizhou, Jiannan Circuit, on Mount Emei, there were suspected traces of Immortal inscriptions.

Heavenly Mountain, Mount Huang, Mount Lu...

West Lake, Tai Lake, Panyang Lake...

In a single day, Lin Yu traversed the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks, the Five Lakes and Four Seas.

Most places, he merely visited to appreciate the scenery, leaving nothing behind. Only when he detected traces of Tang Dynasty people nearby did he, on a whim, leave his mark.

To make better use of time, he even accelerated his thinking speed and slowed his subjective perception of time.

Thus, in those utterly uninhabited places, Lin Yu actually stayed only an extremely brief moment.

Mortal eyes could not capture his figure at all; they could only see a streak of light darting wildly across the sky.

Of course, besides leaving traces, Lin Yu also casually took away quite a few good things.

Among them were the Heavenly Mountain Qilan that Su Wuming had once mentioned, as well as some treasures that had not appeared in the TV series, such as the four green dates gifted to the Four Sons of Nanzhou...

Nanzhou was a fictional place name from the TV series; in reality, it should be Yuzhou, Shannan West Circuit, which is present-day Chongqing City.
