Fisherfolk Village (1/2)

Old Owl heard that and waved a hand. "What is it? Probably something that can turn people into Immortals."

"No wonder it's better not to know about things like this."

"Once you know, you get an itch to try."

"Even I wavered a few times last night! It looks like a perfectly legitimate method. Luckily, I'm about to die. Even if I wanted to set everything up from scratch, I wouldn't have enough time."

"Otherwise, I'd want to see what it's like inside that tomb."

At that, he waved a hand, signaling that he was done with the subject.

"Eat," he said. "This meal's on me. We'll go home afterward."

Xu Feng ordered a few wild-vegetable buns. Master sat beside him without a word, as if Old Owl's words last night had gotten to him.

After eating, the group returned to Old Owl's home.

Old Owl called Master away to give him some instructions. Uncle Liu had gone out looking for someone as soon as the city gates opened.

The whole house fell quiet again, leaving Xu Feng alone in the room.

The map lay on one side of him.

His packed ritual robes lay on the other.

So he slowly opened the bundle Old Owl had given him, revealing the item inside.

Xu Feng saw a metal "bird."

Despite all the layers Old Owl had wrapped around it, the thing inside was only as big as Xu Feng's thumb!
