Zhang Xiaoming didn't stay long before leaving.
He knew clearly that this was not a place he could stay. Without an invitation from the owner, he wouldn't dare to remain.
Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't dare.
He was truly impressed by Jack Ma and others, and felt great envy.
No wonder he hadn't heard news of these people lately; they were all hiding here as servants.
If possible, he wanted to be a toilet scrubber here. After all, with so many people around, he wouldn't get any other jobs. At least no one would compete with him for the toilet scrubbing duty, right?
Jack Ma and the others worked in the kitchen for a whole morning, preparing twenty different dishes, all sorts of them.
Elder Li smiled as he looked at the delicious food on the table and said, "Xiao Ma, this is the second time I'm eating your cooking."
"Elder Li, it is my honor that you enjoy my cooking." Jack Ma's face was filled with a beaming smile.
Everyone felt awe and adoration towards Xia Feng.
As for Elder Li, they held more respect for him. An elder who had dedicated his life to the country and its people deserved everyone's respect.
Xia Feng felt the same. He had always highly respected Elder Huang, Elder Li, Elder Zhou, and Elder Feng.
After all, they had poured their life's effort into this country, wishing only to see everyone live a better life and the motherland grow stronger.
"Haha... Very good, I like it very much," Elder Li praised with a smile, nodding.
"Elder Li, would you like to have some wine at noon?" Xia Feng asked Elder Li.
"Yes, definitely. I'm not going out today, but I will tomorrow," Elder Li replied with a broad smile and a nod.
"Then I'll accompany Elder Li for a few drinks at noon," Xia Feng nodded with a smile, even though he had Qin Wen bring over two bottles of fine wine.
Everyone had lunch until two in the afternoon, and then they accompanied Elder Li for tea and conversation.
The leisurely days passed quite quickly. At dinner, Elder Li continued to drink with everyone. Xia Lin and the others finished dinner early and were in the entertainment room watching gaming competitions.
Elder Li stayed at Xia Feng's villa for three days and only left on the fourth day.
That evening, Xia Feng had nothing to do and gathered everyone to talk about going to the immortal realm.
Xia Lin, Jack Ma, Penguin Ma, Liu Jingru, Ma Yuqin, and Qin Wen—these six were already cultivating. If they were going to the immortal realm, they would definitely go.
"You can come back anytime, so you don't need to worry about other issues. Just think of it as entering Kunlun Mountain, and it's one day on Earth for one year in the immortal realm."
Xia Feng said directly as he looked at their curious gazes.
Everyone froze, their expressions blank. One day equals one year?
Holy crap...
Back when they went to Kunlun Mountain, one day was ten days, which they already thought was a lot. Now, one day had become one year?
This was astonishing. Going for a year and then returning would be equivalent to staying for over three hundred years?
Initially, everyone was hesitant to leave their families behind, as their loved ones were still there, and they couldn't abandon their families.
Now that Xia Feng said they could return, everyone wanted to go.
"Young Master Xia, if we can return, of course we'll go."
Everyone was filled with excitement. What was the immortal realm like? Everyone had endless imagination.
After all, the immortal realms depicted in TV shows were always filled with celestial palaces and fairies everywhere. If one could have a fairy to play with, what would that feel like?
Would it be tighter and more moist?
Of course, these were the thoughts of men. They were just fantasies. Any normal man would think this way; not thinking so would be abnormal.
It was like walking on the street and admiring beautiful women. If you didn't glance twice at a passing beauty, you'd be doing a disservice to her looks.
"If all of you go, I still have seven pills that can help you cultivate." Xia Feng said, taking out the pills.
Besides Xia Lin and the other five, the remaining eight who could not cultivate were: Lei Ming, Old Wang, Jiang Quanshui, National Little Wang, Jiang Xin, Qin Dou, Li Changhe, and Huang Heng.
Li Changhe and Huang Heng joined later and voluntarily withdrew.
"You are both still young. Share one pill. I don't know if it will be effective; we'll try it then. If you both refuse to take it, it won't affect anything. If it works, no one will be left behind."
Xia Feng said as he looked at Li Changhe and Huang Heng, who were politely declining each other.
These two had no objections; this was the best arrangement.
Good brothers should ascend together, leaving no one behind.
"Okay, we are willing." The two agreed in unison.
Xia Feng distributed the pills to everyone and then said, "Make arrangements. We'll go for ten days first to adapt, and after ten days, we'll return for the New Year."
"Brother, does ten days passing on Earth mean ten years pass there?" Xia Lin confirmed again.
She had also promised to invest in the classmate foundation, so she didn't want to stand them up.
"Yes, that's right," Xia Feng nodded.
"Mmm, okay." Xia Lin nodded.
Ten days passing was fine. The investment was scheduled for after the New Year anyway. When the time came, she would have the finance department of Fenglin Entertainment directly transfer the money for the investment.
"Old Wang, I remember you're in construction. I'll take you up to see if we can build houses similar to those on Earth. If we can, we can bring Earth's high technology up there, essentially creating a second home."
Xia Feng asked Old Wang.
"Okay," Old Wang nodded.
Although this trip would only be for ten days, everyone was going. It was like a tourist inspection.
"Young Master Xia, when do we depart?" Jack Ma asked.
"Let's depart tomorrow. That way, we'll have two days left to return for the New Year, and you'll also need to arrange your personal matters," Xia Feng said.
"Okay," everyone responded.
Everyone had grown accustomed to the days spent in Kunlun, so leaving for ten days this time didn't feel much different.
However, the destination was different this time; it was the immortal realm, which inevitably made them a little excited.
"Alright, that's settled. I'm going out for a day and will depart tomorrow afternoon," Xia Feng said, waving to everyone.
He planned to go out and pick up the people from the four hermit families and place them directly into the Eastern Emperor Bell.
After Xia Feng left, everyone sat together in groups of three or five, excitedly boasting.
This time they were going to the immortal realm, and their hearts were already filled with fantasies about it.
"Teacher Ma, you're very knowledgeable. Do you think there are Peaches of Immortality in the immortal realm? Or fairies in green robes? Or perhaps the Jade Emperor?"
Old Wang excitedly pulled Jack Ma and asked.
"Get lost! How would I know that? No matter how knowledgeable I am, can I learn knowledge about the immortal realm?" Jack Ma pushed away Old Wang's hands, speechless.
"We're going tomorrow, Old Wang. What are you so impatient about? Are you hoping to have another 'little Wang'?"
Lei Ming asked with a laugh.
"Heh heh... What are you thinking? I'm already this age, why would I still think about such things?" Old Wang shook his head.
Jack Ma snorted and cursed, "You're in your fifties. In the immortal realm, someone like you would be considered a child. What age are you?"
Old Wang suddenly realized and became a little tempted.
