Immortal Legends!

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

Su Wuming and the others had not even discovered that the hallucinogenic ingredient in the black tea was Western Region Illusion Grass when they encountered the mastermind ahead of schedule. This had to be credited to Su Haoming.

The shot he fired at Yin Shirou completely disrupted all the plans on both sides.

Yuan Lai had lost his most important CEO. In his fury, he decided to eliminate Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming ahead of time, setting off the series of chain reactions that followed.

Neither Lin Yu nor Su Haoming thought there was anything wrong with that.

After leaving the Ghost Market, the two went their separate ways. Su Haoming secretly returned to the County Lieutenant's residence, shed Yu Hao's identity, excitedly shared his recent experience in the group, and waited for his cousin and the others to capture Yuan Lai.

As for Lin Yu, he had finally "shaken off" the Main Universe's lock-on. Naturally, he intended to enjoy his long-lost freedom and take a proper look around this vibrant world!

Before that, however, Yun Ye from Frieren World also had to bid Lin Yu farewell.

Lin Yu's True Body gave him a warm send-off and, before he left, gave Yun Ye a small gift—the same Magic Pistol Su Haoming had.

Although the crystal on the pistol had not been modified with the Internal Circulation Matrix, Yun Ye now possessed an Artificial Spiritual Root and could fully recharge it with the Magic Power within his body.

The same was true for Su Haoming. However, they had not dared use the pistol back then because they did not want to expose their identities.

A burst of intense silver light flashed, and the world before him gradually faded away.

Yun Ye could not help closing his eyes. When he opened them again, he was back in his room.

Looking at the gentle sunlight filtering through the window, Yun Ye realized that it should already be the next morning.

He glanced at the books, Spirit Stones, and pistol in his hands. After a brief moment of thought, he tucked the Spirit Stones into his clothes, slid the pistol into his waistband, hid the books in a secret compartment beneath the bed, and only then pushed open the door.

"Creak—"

The sound of the door opening woke the person reclining in the chair outside.

Yun Ye's raised right foot froze in midair as he stared in shock at the aged face by the door.

"Grandmother?!"

"Why are you here?"

Old Madam Yun roused herself in the recliner and said with a smile, "Yesterday, you spoke so solemnly, Ye'er. It must have had something to do with your Immortal master!"

"Though the servants and guards were carefully selected and are all loyal, one can never truly see into another's heart. How could such an important matter be entrusted to them? As for our own family, every last one of them is clumsy and foolish. This old woman simply could not rest easy letting them guard the door..."

Yun Ye was touched, though his expression turned helpless. "So you guarded the door for me yourself?"

Before he finished speaking, Old Madam Yun stood up. Yun Ye hurried forward and supported her.

"Don't do this again. How could your grandson's affairs be more important than your health?"

Old Madam Yun smiled and shook her head, asking softly, "Ye'er's matter... is it finished?"

"It's finished!"

Feeling the Magic Power flowing through his Ren and Du Meridians, Yun Ye smiled faintly and leaned close to Old Madam Yun's ear. "For the next few days, don't go outside. Your grandson has learned some remarkable skills. Perhaps I can help Grandmother restore her health..."

While Yun Ye was sharing this warm moment with his family, Lin Yu in Frieren World was not idle either.

Just as when Su Haoming returned previously, Lin Yu observed Yun Ye's return and found that the Chat Group truly used a more profound method for returning.

Compared to the portal used upon arrival, returning was more like Frieren World's rejection and the pull of the member's native world.

This left Lin Yu somewhat disappointed.

He had been hoping to leave a Clone behind in Tang Gui World once his stay ended!

But now, it seemed that doing so might cause an irreversible disaster in Tang Gui World...

Of course, nothing was impossible for one who set his mind to it.

Lin Yu was not discouraged. Instead, he planned to use the remaining time to properly study how to remain there.

This was not empty talk. Lin Yu already had two feasible ideas in mind.

The first was to bypass the Chat Group and directly connect to the members' worlds.

As early as the first time he used an Invitation Letter, Lin Yu had learned some of the Chat Group's methods.

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

If he could also learn how the Chat Group located Member Worlds, he could bypass the Chat Group and enter them directly!

However, due to the nature of the Endless Void, locating the coordinates of a Member World was destined to be extremely difficult. That was why Lin Yu had a second idea—deceiving the World Consciousness and sneaking into a Member World.

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

This meant that during their stay, those two forces had already been shielded by the Chat Group's methods.

Lin Yu very much wanted to know how the Chat Group accomplished this. If he could learn that method, or draw on the idea to find something similar, he would be able to remain in this world without limits!

Back to the matter at hand, multitasking was merely basic for Lin Yu's vast, sea-like consciousness.

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

Thus, over the next twenty-three hours, Tang Gui World welcomed a true Immortal deity, and countless legends related to Immortals sprang up in a single day.

In Yanzhou of Henan Circuit, scholars and poets watched the sunrise from Mount Tai and saw an Immortal appear atop Dai Peak. He walked through the air, each step forming clouds beneath his feet, causing the surrounding sea of clouds to churn endlessly before he finally vanished into the rosy clouds.

In Yuezhou of Jiangnan Circuit, a pleasure boat returning across Dongting Lake saw a young man in white drifting over the lake in a small boat. The singing girls aboard, drawn by his handsome appearance, teased him aloud. Unable to bear their disturbance, the young man merely waved his sleeve, summoning clouds and mist to conceal himself.

After coming ashore, the singing girls were astonished and discussed the matter fervently. The boat owner had a sudden idea and began spreading the tale himself. From then on, he renamed the boat Meeting the Immortal.

At Wuyi Mountains in Jianzhou, a renowned tea picker crossed Jiulongke on foot and saw a handsome youth seated atop the Great Red Robe Mother Tree. Dew condensed into a cup at his fingertips as he beckoned sunlight with a wave of his hand, boiling the water and brewing tea in midair.

In an instant, an extraordinary fragrance filled the valley, refreshing the heart and mind.

Drawn by the scent, the tea picker could not help stepping forward. The young man smiled and invited him over, casually summoning clouds and mist. They used clouds as a pot and mist as cups, drinking tea and discussing the Dao.

When the pot was emptied, the young man had vanished without a trace. The tea picker suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had encountered a True Immortal.

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

Among them was a man named Lu Gongfu, whose qin skills were unmatched. He was revered as a master of the ancient qin.

At that time, Lu Gongfu was playing the qin for his own enjoyment at home when an Immortal passed overhead on a cloud. Moved by the music, he stopped to listen.

When the piece ended, the Immortal clapped and laughed. He descended from the clouds into the courtyard, wishing to exchange four Green Jujubes for one more piece from Lu Gongfu.

Lu Gongfu was shocked and amazed, then gladly agreed. Afterward, the Immortal vanished without a trace. Lu Gongfu summoned the other Four Sons, and they shared the Green Jujubes. Their black hair grew thick once more, their hidden ailments vanished, and they showed signs of returning to youth.

Beyond that, an Immortal stone carving appeared atop Mount Hua in Huazhou of Guannei Circuit.

In Yizhou of Jiannan Circuit, an Immortal was said to have left writing atop Mount Emei.

Tianshan, Mount Huang, Mount Lu...

West Lake, Tai Lake, Panyang Lake...

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

Most places were merely for sightseeing, and he left nothing behind. Only when he found traces of Tang people nearby did he act on a whim and leave his mark.

To make better use of his time, he even accelerated his thoughts and slowed his own perception of time.

Thus, in those utterly uninhabited places, Lin Yu had actually stayed only for a very brief time.

Ordinary eyes could not possibly catch sight of him. They could only see a streak of light darting about in the sky.

Of course, aside from leaving traces behind, Lin Yu also took away quite a few good things.

These included the Heavenly Mountain Qilan that Su Wuming had once mentioned, as well as some treasures that had never appeared in the tv series, such as the four Green Jujubes he gave the Four Sons of Nanzhou...

Nanzhou was a fictional place name from the tv series. In reality, it should have been Yuzhou of Shannan West Circuit, present-day Chongqing City.
