I've Dug a Pit for My Master

Immortal City of the Seventh Heaven Yang Heaven, True Yang City.

The city was bustling with people, coming and going in an endless stream, and at least half of them possessed the cultivation level of Immortals.

Immortals are the transformation from Mortals to another level of life; even in the Immortal Realm, not everyone is Immortals.

In fact, looking at the entire Fivefold Immortal Realm, Immortals only account for two-fifths of the Immortal Realm total population. The remaining three-fifths include Mortals who have made great contributions and have been exceptionally promoted from the Immortal Realm Mortal Realm by the immortals, cultivators who have come here by chance, and families that have grown and developed from the offspring of Immortals.

Children born from the union Immortals may possess exceptional talent, but they are unlikely to be born at the Immortals level. At most, they may be physically stronger and have slightly better Spiritual Root aptitude than Mortals children. To become an immortal, they must ultimately cultivate step by step, with their feet firmly on the ground.

Immortal City like True Yang City, where more than half the inhabitants are Immortals, is considered one of the largest cities in the Fivefold Immortal Realm.

At this moment, on a street in True Yang City, Bai Qiuran, Li Jinyao, and Tang Ruowei stepped off a Flying Shuttle Magic Treasure.

After the three of them got off, the Flying Shuttle quickly ascended into the sky and left. Li Jinyao opened the Storage Bag at her waist, took a look, and then took out more than a dozen Immortal Realm Coin.

"Senior, we're truly penniless now."

She placed the dozen or so Immortal Realm Coin into Bai Qiuran's hand.

"You can take these last dozen or so."

"Good."

Bai Qiuran didn't stand on ceremony with her. Although this was the start-up capital for the three of them, it was actually all money that Bai Qiuran earned from refining magical Magic Treasure.

Moreover, for some reason, none of the three valued money much, unlike the Immortals of the Eastern Immortal Realm.

Upon arriving here, Bai Qiuran planned to first inquire about his master, Daoist Qingming. According to the information merchant, his master should be quite famous throughout the entire Eastern Immortal Realm, so finding out where he lived shouldn't be difficult.

"Outside the number, outside the number."

Suddenly, someone was shouting from the Pavilion on a street corner, waving a magazine in their hand.

"Today's latest and most comprehensive news Newspaper."

It was a kind of publication in the Immortal Realm called Newspaper. It seemed to publish major events that had occurred in Yang Heaven and even the entire Immortal Realm from yesterday to today. It was a very good means of information exchange that the Immortal Realm had learned from one of its subordinate worlds.

Bai Qiuran also walked over and exchanged a Newspaper from him for an Immortal Realm Coin.

Upon opening the Newspaper, the headline read in bold letters, "Unidentified Explosion Occurs on Cloud Soaring Flying Boat, All Crew Members Killed."

"Heavenly Dao Reincarnation; no one escapes the wrath of Cangtian."

He sighed and turned the page.

"Qingmingzi, the instructor of the Yang Celestial Army, has been promoted to Chief Instructor and will soon move into the Immortal Venerable's Estate with his Daoist Dao Companion."

"Got it."

Bai Qiuran shook the Newspaper, then pressed down on the shoulder of a passerby.

"Excuse me, sir, do you know how to get to Chief Instructor Qingmingzi's residence?"

Located at No. 3 Lesser Yang Street in the True Yang City, this mansion was the residence of Bai Qiuran's mentor, Daoist Qingming, in the Immortal Realm.

Bai Qiuran's mentor, Daoist Qingming, appeared to be a handsome man between youth and middle age, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. Unlike his disciple's unruly behavior, Daoist Qingming, as a grandmaster and a genius of the Immortal Realm and elegant demeanor.

His Dao Companion, Liu Shi, a famous beauty in Yang Heaven, was naturally also a very elegant and beautiful woman.

In fact, at the level of Immortals, physical beauty is secondary. No matter how beautiful one is, one cannot surpass the beauty of Paper Person in legends. The standard for judging beauty in the Immortal Realm places more emphasis on a woman's temperament.

Those stunning beauties are either like Su Xiangxue and others, whose every move is captivating, or like Liu Shi, whose temperament alone can move people.

However, Daoist Qingming's handsome face was full of urgency. He paced back and forth in the room, tidying up the things inside. Although it was not a tiring task, he was covered in sweat.

"Qingming Sect."

Dressed in Blue Robe, Liu Shi pushed open the door and entered. Seeing his actions, she asked in surprise, "What are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't leave for three days?"

"Shi'er, something unexpected has happened. We must set off immediately."

Qingmingzi pointed to a Newspaper on the table.

Liu Shi picked up the Newspaper and exclaimed in surprise, "What? The Cloud Soaring Flying Boat actually crashed on the Ascension Cloud Sea?"

"Yes, the merchant guild that operates the Cloud Soaring Flying Boat was one of the few forces in the Eastern Immortal Realm that could steal from the Azure Emperor. Although they are greedy, they do things for money. I pulled a lot of strings to get their help."

Qingmingzi sighed, "But I never imagined the security in the Eastern Immortal Realm had deteriorated to this extent. There are just too many incompetent officials holding positions without doing their jobs. Now that Yang Immortal Venerable has left... I wonder which scoundrels were responsible for this. If I find out, I'll definitely demand an explanation from them!"

Consciousness the seriousness of the situation, Liu Shi asked, "When do we leave? How do we leave?"

Pack your things immediately.

Qingmingzi said, "I bought a private Flying Shuttle in the backyard. We'll pilot it ourselves later. With my Mana, I can barely take the two of us across the Yang Heaven and fly to the town on the Ascension Cloud Sea. Don't tell anyone. Once we pass the checkpoint, we'll be people of the Central Immortal Realm. Even the Azure Emperor can't do anything to us for the time being."

Liu Shi immediately began to help, and the two spent half the afternoon tidying up the house, finally managing to pack all their valuables before preparing to leave.

The two stored their belongings in their Storage Spirit Artifact and went to the door. Qingmingzi opened the door, only to find a person standing outside. He exclaimed in surprise, "Immortal Venerable Lin?"

"Haha, Chief Instructor Qingming Sect, I've come to have a drink with you."

The Plane middle-aged man outside stepped across the threshold and entered the house. He glanced around the empty room and said, "Eh, your house seems a bit cramped. A dignified Chief Instructor of the Yang Celestial Army shouldn't live in such a humble abode. Fortunately, I've already prepared a residence for you in the Immortal Venerable's Estate's mansion. Soon, you and your wife can move there and enjoy a life of luxury."

Qingmingzi and Liu Shi stared at him, their faces stiff, and remained silent.

"Hey, why does your sister-in-law look so pale?"

The Immortal Venerable Lin, knowing full well the answer, deliberately asked the question.

"Ah."

Liu Shi smiled and said, "My home is too humble to receive such a distinguished guest as Immortal Venerable Lin; it would be truly beneath my dignity."

"Yes."

Qingmingzi also spoke up, "Our home is so humble, we really dare not trouble Immortal Venerable Lin. In a couple of days, I will go and purchase some furniture, and then we will invite Immortal Venerable Lin for a drink."

"Hey, let's go out for drinks then."

As if he couldn't understand the subtle refusal in Qingmingzi and Liu Shi's words, Immortal Venerable Lin smiled and grabbed Qingmingzi's arm.

"Come on, come on, it's my treat, both of you together."

"Immortal Venerable Lin."

Qingmingzi sighed.

"Is it really impossible to make an exception?"

The Immortal Venerable Lin smiled but remained silent.

"You're doing this."

Liu Shi couldn't help but say, "It won't last long."

"What did your sister-in-law say?"

Immortal Venerable Lin laughed heartily.

"We are Immortals, our lifespan is as long as heaven's; how could we not live long?"
