Chapter 1 Qian Yunrou

Qian Yunrou recognized Lu Changsheng immediately.

She hadn't expected to encounter the man she'd been thinking about for four years in this place.

"Changsheng... Senior Brother."

Qian Yunrou was astonished. She really hadn't expected Lu Changsheng to be here.

Actually, three years ago, she had gone to the Great Luo Holy Land under the guise of a visit, but learned that Lu Changsheng was away, experiencing mortal life.

At that moment, Qian Yunrou missed Lu Changsheng even more.

Speaking of which, Qian Yunrou hadn't seen Lu Changsheng for ten years. Although in the world of cultivation, ten years was like the snap of a finger.

But that was when one was in secluded cultivation. Ten years, a hundred years, might indeed pass in the blink of an eye. If one wasn't in seclusion, ten years was ten years.

Qian Yunrou hadn't expected to see Lu Changsheng again at this moment.

For some reason, her peaceful heart was no longer at peace.

All the fireworks in the city were not as beautiful as Lu Changsheng alone.

The bustling imperial capital was only bustling because of Lu Changsheng.

Qian Yunrou smiled faintly, all her longing turning into a smile at this moment.

And Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be surprised. He had never seen Qian Yunrou smile so beautifully.

"Changsheng?"

"Senior Brother?"

Several female disciples were surprised, but they quickly figured it out, looking at Lu Changsheng with astonishment.

"You are?"

However, Lu Changsheng shook his head, signaling them not to make a fuss.

In an instant, the female disciples were shocked, but they still restrained their inner turmoil, just constantly taking deep breaths.

Lu Changsheng.

How could they not know who Lu Changsheng was?

This was the famous Great Luo Holy Lord, a legendary figure in the world of cultivation.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, why are you here?"

Qian Yunrou approached, looking at Lu Changsheng and asking curiously.

"The Jin Kingdom's Joyous Feast has long spread throughout Zhongzhou. It's not strange for Senior Brother to be here. What I didn't expect was that Junior Sister Yunrou also had the leisure."

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

However, at this moment, the disciple beside the Holy Lord immediately spoke up.

"Holy Lord Changsheng, you don't know, and I don't know why, but our Holy Lord here doesn't think about tea or food. She often stands on a mountaintop, looking at something, and it's rumored throughout our Holy Land that the Holy Lord is lovesick. Do you know what lovesickness is?"

One of the female disciples said this.

In an instant, Junior Sister Yunrou immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense."

However, they smiled and then said, "Since both Holy Lords are here, you must have important matters to discuss. We will take our leave first."

They were very sensible and didn't want to disturb their reunion.

After these people left, Lu Changsheng and Qian Yunrou walked side by side.

The two were silent, not saying a word along the way, just admiring the myriad aspects of the mortal world.

But after a while, Qian Yunrou spoke, taking the initiative to break the silence.

"Senior Brother really did slay a dragon a few years ago?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Slay a dragon?

Slay what dragon?

He hadn't even tried one dragon, what was he slaying?

"Oh, so that was obviously another rumor?"

Junior Sister Yunrou said this.

"Rumor? What rumor?"

Lu Changsheng was curious.

"Over the years, although Senior Brother hasn't appeared, there have always been rumors about you, saying you slayed a dragon, and something about suppressing darkness. Junior Sister doesn't know if they're true, so I came to ask."

Qian Yunrou said gently.

"Uh! Actually, those are all true."

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and answered this way.

Qian Yunrou: "......"

"Just kidding, don't be surprised."

Lu Changsheng smiled, then bought a bracelet from a nearby shop and handed it to Yunrou.

"This bracelet is pretty good. Try wearing it."

Lu Changsheng said this. He just bought something casually, thinking it looked good, and gave it to Yunrou.

And the latter was obviously stunned.

"What? Don't you like it?"

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised. This bracelet was quite beautiful, multicolored, and might even be a legendary treasure.

There was no reason not to like it, right?

"I like it very much."

Junior Sister Yunrou smiled slightly, then took the bracelet.

The two walked side by side, but after a while, Junior Sister Yunrou continued to speak.

"Senior Brother Lu, has your experience in the mortal world ended?"

She asked curiously.

"Not yet, but it's almost over."

Lu Changsheng replied calmly.

"After experiencing the mortal world, will you have to undergo tribulation and ascend?"

She continued to ask.

"Yes, if there are no accidents, I might plan to ascend soon."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

In fact, during these four years of experiencing the mortal world, he often had a feeling of wanting to ascend.

He couldn't hold back several times.

It was as if something in the sky was calling him.

He had gained a lot from these four years of mortal experience. When this was over, if there was nothing else, he would really have to ascend.

"Then Junior Sister congratulates Senior Brother in advance."

Junior Sister Yunrou said this.

"I think Junior Sister will also ascend soon." Lu Changsheng smiled. Qian Yunrou had already completed the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and it was indeed almost time for her to ascend.

But thinking of this, Lu Changsheng took out a box, inside which was a Golden Immortal artifact. He handed it to Qian Yunrou and said, "Junior Sister, the Immortal World is not like the world of cultivation. If necessary, don't ascend so early. Improve your strength as much as possible. This item is a gift to Junior Sister, so that Junior Sister won't encounter any accidents when ascending to the Immortal World."

Lu Changsheng said this.

Indeed, the Immortal World was extremely dangerous. There were human and celestial races, and Junior Sister Yunrou was so beautiful, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't be targeted. A Golden Immortal artifact was nothing, let her protect herself.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your concern."

Qian Yunrou was indeed a little touched.

Soon, however, the two arrived at the center of the imperial capital.

Under a pagoda.

This pagoda was a hundred stories high, so it looked very magnificent, and many talented scholars and literati gathered at its base.

"This is a Dao artifact pagoda, created by a semi-sage back then. It has a hundred stories inside, and each story has corresponding words set by someone, allowing talented people to compose poems. If the poem composed is recognized by the semi-sage, one can go upstairs."

"Since ancient times, anyone who has reached the top has become a great Confucian. Today, the Jin Kingdom's Joyous Feast has also attracted countless talented cultivators to gather, and it is also the highlight of this Joyous Feast."

"Senior Brother, would you like to try?"

Junior Sister Yunrou rarely said so much in one breath.

She introduced this pagoda in great detail.

"Passing through with poetry?"

Lu Changsheng found it interesting.

However, at this moment, two familiar voices surprised Lu Changsheng.

"Senior Brother Qingfeng, don't think that Junior Brother's cultivation is not very good, but Junior Brother's poetry is top-notch. I almost passed the imperial exam back then. If Senior Brother Changsheng hadn't insisted on dragging me to cultivate, I might already be a great Confucian now."

The voice was very familiar.

Lu Changsheng looked over.

He confirmed the eyes.

It was Wang Fugui.
