Hongyun nodded, "Okay, don't worry."

Zhen Yuanzi quickly released his divine sense and inspected it meticulously.

Strange!

This small courtyard looked ordinary, with no apparent spiritual energy leakage or oppressive aura.

Inside, there were four or five presences, but they were all ordinary acquired life forms.

They had almost no cultivation.

Could it be that I've come to the wrong place?

Impossible, I've already thoroughly inspected this area for tens of thousands of miles.

Moreover, several powerful auras were faintly lingering here.

There must have been a battle between powerful beings here.

Truly bizarre.

Zhen Yuanzi hesitated, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Never mind, let's go take a look first.

The two quickly descended and arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard.

It was already late, and Jiang Ping had long since fallen into a sweet slumber.

A knock on the door woke him up.

Are there guests this late?

Jiang Ping walked out, confused.

Outside the door, Zhen Yuanzi once again instructed Hongyun, "Hongyun, for the sake of caution, we can use aliases. I'll call you Little Hong, and you call me Big Yuan."

Hongyun nodded, then grumbled a little, "Why do I have to be Little Hong? My cultivation isn't any less than yours."

"Then why don't you go find out the situation?" Zhen Yuanzi snorted.

Hongyun waved his hand, "Forget it, you go ahead, Big Yuan."

"Alright, Little Hong."

Creak!

The door opened, and Jiang Ping poked his head out.

"You two? Is something wrong?"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly, "It's gotten dark, and we got lost in the mountains. We happened to spot this small courtyard. Would it be convenient to stay the night?"

Jiang Ping felt a bit wary. Strangers appearing suddenly in the deep mountains and wild forests was truly strange.

"Um, you can come in." Jiang Ping remained vigilant internally.

"Then we'll be intruding, Young Master," Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun said gratefully.

Entering the small courtyard, Jiang Ping said apologetically, "Gentlemen, I only have one room here, so I'm afraid I can't offer you lodging."

Zhen Yuanzi looked around. Huh, the thatched hut in the west corner looked quite unique.

"Young Master, it's late. We'll stay here for now. I think that thatched hut looks quite good. Is it convenient?"

Jiang Ping was stunned. This person's taste was truly... hard to describe!

This thatched hut is where I planned to raise pigs.

But since I haven't caught any piglets yet, it's currently a place for these stupid dogs and chicks to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.

And these two actually want to sleep in here.

"Um, that might not be appropriate," Jiang Ping said hesitantly.

Zhen Yuanzi carefully examined the thatched hut, his brow furrowing. This thatched hut seemed a little unusual, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.

Could this thatched hut hide a secret?

Heh heh, my discernment is incredibly sharp. You can't fool me.

"Young Master, in this desolate wilderness, we have nowhere else to go. If this thatched hut isn't convenient for you, we can just sit here on the ground and wait for dawn. If you're still worried, we can leave right now."

Jiang Ping gritted his teeth, "Forget it. It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that the thatched hut hasn't been cleaned in a long time, so it's really not suitable for you two to stay in. Alas, it's pitch black outside, and I'm also worried about letting you leave in case you encounter any demonic beasts."

Zhen Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when Hongyun burst out laughing, "Young Master, don't you know? We're not afraid of demonic beasts at all! What demonic beast dares to..."

"Shut up!" Zhen Yuanzi roared.

Then he said awkwardly, "Young Master, this is my brother, Little Hong. He's a bit... unusual."

"How about this, Young Master, don't overthink it. It's very late, you should rest. We'll manage on our own. We can talk when it's morning."

Jiang Ping nodded, "Alright, you two make do for tonight. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

After speaking, Jiang Ping quickly went inside and carefully closed the doors and windows.

Oh my god, such a grown man is called Little Hong. These two are really not normal. Could they be some perverted lunatics? I can't sleep too soundly then!

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun entered the thatched hut.

"What's this strange smell, so pungent," Hongyun asked, pinching his nose.

Zhen Yuanzi ignored him, his heart greatly shaken.

Previously, he had noticed a faint trace of Dao Rhyme lingering outside the thatched hut.

Now, upon entering, he immediately sensed something extraordinary.

Inside the thatched hut, it was actually filled with a large amount of Dao Rhyme.

This was simply incredible.

No wonder the previous owner was unwilling to let us stay here.

Clearly, he was afraid I would discover this secret.

Heh heh, unfortunately, nothing can escape my senses.

"Little Hong, don't you notice anything unusual about this thatched hut?"

Hongyun grumbled, "There's no one else here, why call me Little Hong? It sounds so unpleasant."

"Hmph, what do you know? How can you be sure there's no one else?" Zhen Yuanzi looked around.

"What? Is someone spying on us?" Hongyun was greatly alarmed.

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head, "I'm not sure, but this thatched hut is indeed extraordinary, actually containing dense Dao Rhyme."

Hongyun pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps it condensed on its own over these hundreds of years. That young gentleman just now had no cultivation at all, so he clearly wouldn't absorb and comprehend this Dao Rhyme."

"That's right. Let's quickly absorb this Dao Rhyme, how about we split it fifty-fifty?"

Hongyun nodded, "Good!"

The two immediately sat upright and quickly absorbed the Dao Rhyme.

Closing their eyes and concentrating, after more than half an hour, they slowly opened their eyes.

Zhen Yuanzi had a faint smile on his face, "Not bad, this Dao Rhyme is extremely pure. In just a short moment, I feel my comprehension of the Great Dao has deepened further."

Hongyun also smiled, "It was worth our journey of thousands of miles. Today we've obtained this sliver of opportunity. When that ordinary being wakes up tomorrow, we'll also find a way to resolve this karma."

"At worst, we'll give him some Spirit Fruits and elixirs, enough to extend his lifespan," Zhen Yuanzi said.

"Alright, I agree. We'll meditate here tonight first."

The two slowly closed their eyes.

Half an hour later, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun opened their eyes simultaneously.

"More Dao Rhyme is condensing!"

"How is that possible!"

The two looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"This... is truly astonishing, an ordinary thatched hut can condense Dao Rhyme all the time!"

"If we could meditate and cultivate here continuously, wouldn't we be able to immerse ourselves in comprehending the Great Dao day and night!"

"For thousands of years, I've never heard of any blessed land in the Primordial Era that could continuously bestow Dao Rhyme!"

"This might be the greatest opportunity of our lives. Hongyun, we must seize it. Enough idle talk, let's quickly absorb and comprehend."

Outside the thatched hut, Da Huang was very displeased.

"What's wrong, Da Huang?" the Little Kitten asked curiously.

"Hmph, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun are hiding in our toilet and won't come out."

The Little Kitten burst into laughter, "Da Huang, you even use the toilet?"

Da Huang said irritably, "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong? This toilet is also the owner's thoughtful gesture, he built it for us with his own hands, even though we only use it occasionally."
