Inside Seven Star Island's Pill Workshop, Ke Xingrong, who had already broken through to the True Immortal Seventh Stage, was leisurely basking in the sun on his newly acquired special reclining chair.
Ke Xingrong's eyes were half-open, while his Divine Sense wandered beyond the heavens. He could hardly have been more at ease.
Just then, a voice he had recalled countless times in his dreams suddenly rang out beside his ear.
"Elder Ke, have you been well?"
Ke Xingrong paused slightly at the words, then said with a puzzled expression:
"Huh, why has today's dream come so early?
The Dream Immortal Tea shouldn't take effect this quickly!"
The corner of Xu Changxing's mouth twitched slightly. "This isn't a dream.
Elder Ke, open your eyes first!"
As he spoke, Xu Changxing stirred the Great Dao Rhythm slightly.
Ke Xingrong, who had still been half-asleep a moment earlier, immediately jolted back to his senses.
Then he saw that familiar face.
Ke Xingrong's pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body trembled slightly as he said, "Grand-uncle Master! You've really come back!!!"
Xu Changxing smiled. "It's not as though I died out there. Why couldn't I come back?"
Caught off guard by the reply, Ke Xingrong said, "Well, you're right, Grand-uncle Master!
Now that you're back, will you be staying?"
Xu Changxing shook his head. "I only came back to take a look. I can't stay long."
Ke Xingrong said with some disappointment, "That's true. In a remote place like this, there's simply no way to find the resources you need for cultivation, Grand-uncle Master.
Even Patriarch Li Changge spends year after year traveling far and wide. How could we possibly keep a Golden Immortal here?"
Xu Changxing took the opportunity to ask, "Where has my Second Senior Brother been fighting all this time?"
