Chapter 1 Looking At

He looked at the crowd rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel curious.

Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth, but so many people believe me when I lie?

"It's the scent of a celestial pill! It's the scent of a celestial pill!"

The master of the Pill Hall stuck his head into the pill furnace and shouted excitedly.

"Sure enough, it's fragrant and sweet. Just smelling it makes one feel like an immortal."

"This is a true celestial pill, a pity we don't have the chance to see it."

"Where is the celestial pill exactly? Qingfeng?"

Everyone was extremely excited, scrambling to smell the pill furnace.

"It really is here."

Liu Qingfeng pointed to the lump of black mud and said this.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered asking you."

The other party didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Qingfeng.

"What do you think, could it be that the celestial pill was refined and has already been eaten by Changsheng?"

Someone said this.

"That's possible."

"Yes, a peerless celestial pill, if refined, absolutely cannot be contaminated with any mortal aura, otherwise it will easily degenerate into a postnatal pill."

"Changsheng must have eaten it."

"Let's go, let's go, let's go find Changsheng."

Everyone was certain of their idea, and then went straight out to ask Changsheng.

"Changsheng, where is the peerless celestial pill you refined?"

"Yes, yes, quickly let this old man take a look, I've been refining pills my whole life and have never seen what a peerless celestial pill looks like."

"Changsheng, just let me smell it, just smell it, don't worry I won't eat your peerless celestial pill."

Several elders directly surrounded Lu Changsheng, and everyone else was also full of curiosity, wondering where Lu Changsheng had hidden the celestial pill.

"Ah? Celestial pill? Isn't the celestial pill in Qingfeng's hands?"

Lu Changsheng said bluntly.

"Qingfeng?"

"Changsheng, don't try to trick me."

"Changsheng, don't you know what kind of person your Uncle Xu is? Is he the kind of person who would snatch the celestial pill directly from you and run to the Lilang Mountains?"

"Yes, yes, we wouldn't do that, just take it out and let us see it."

Everyone surrounded Lu Changsheng, pleading earnestly.

"Several uncles and elders, the pill I refined is the lump of mud in Qingfeng's hands."

Lu Changsheng said seriously.

Clearly, no one believed him, instead thinking that Lu Changsheng was deliberately hiding it.

"Alright, alright, you can be considered big figures in the world of cultivation, what are you all acting like? Since Changsheng doesn't want to take it out, he must have his own difficulties, why must you force him?"

Qingyun Daoren smoothed things over.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, although they were somewhat envious, after thinking about it, since Lu Changsheng was unwilling to take it out, he must have his own difficulties.

As high-level figures of the Da Luo Sacred Ground, they really couldn't keep forcing him, anyway, there would be plenty of time in the future, and they would see it eventually.

Having figured this out, everyone stopped pressing him.

And unable to see the peerless celestial pill, everyone's interest was halved.

So everyone left.

"Changsheng, come here for a moment."

Qingyun Daoren pulled Changsheng into the main hall.

The people outside had already returned.

The main hall appeared very quiet.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat curious, wondering what his master wanted to do.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"This time you go out, the route has already been planned, but as your master, I considered that the secular world is dangerous after all, so I prepared some things for you, all in this ring."

Qingyun Daoren took off a verdant green ring and handed it to Lu Changsheng.

"Master, isn't this your beloved Qiankun Ruyi Ring?" (Qiankun Ruyi Ring = Universe Wish Ring)

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

The origin of this ring was very significant. It was a semi-immortal artifact, once worn by the founding master of the Da Luo Sacred Ground, and could be said to have been passed down through generations. Its function, besides basic storage, was that it could condense the Da Luo True Soul (Da Luo = Highest Heaven in Taoism), protecting oneself.

Most importantly, this ring symbolized the Da Luo Sacred Lord.

Handing over such an important thing to him, Lu Changsheng was truly touched.

"Changsheng, we cultivators have difficulty conceiving, the higher the realm, the less likely to have children, and your master is alone, without any attachments, except for you."

"We are master and disciple, although only for three short years, your master has already treated you as his own child. It is said that a father worries when his son travels far, I am also very worried about this trip of yours."

"Say, what if something untoward happens, or you get a minor illness, how will your master live?"

Qingyun Daoren said with a sorrowful tone.

Although these words didn't sound very pleasant, Lu Changsheng was genuinely touched.

He could feel that Qingyun Daoren truly treated him like a son, and he would remember this kindness in his heart.

"Changsheng, to consider your safety, your master secretly prepared a route for you, keep this map safe. These people have been properly arranged, but it's hard to guarantee that nothing dangerous will happen, so we must have other plans."

"After a few days, after you go down the mountain, follow this map. Even if someone has malicious intentions, they will absolutely not know where you are."

"And I have also arranged for several people to protect you, plus you have the Twelve-Petaled Azure Lotus (a powerful magic treasure), and this ring, unless you encounter a Tribulation Transcending expert, don't even think about harming a single hair on your head."

"Most importantly, your master has already lit your longevity lamp. To take a step back, if there really is a great danger, your master will do everything in his power, even if it costs the entire Da Luo Sacred Ground, to forcefully extend your longevity lamp."

Qingyun Daoren said with a resolute tone.

"This disciple thanks master!"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, he knelt on the ground and bowed to Qingyun Daoren.

This bow was not only a bow between master and disciple.

It was also a bow between father and son.

Master, master.

Half teacher.

Half father.

He had not expected that Qingyun Daoren had already thought of everything for him, and even prepared two copies of the route for him.

How could this not move Lu Changsheng?

"Get up, get up, don't do this, don't do this."

Qingyun Daoren helped Lu Changsheng up.

Then he looked Lu Changsheng up and down.

Immediately afterwards, Qingyun Daoren's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Changsheng, look, I've helped you so much."

"You, can you, let me see the peerless celestial pill?"

"I'll just take a look, don't worry, I definitely don't mean anything else."

"Just one look."

Qingyun Daoren said with a serious face.

In an instant, the goodwill that had just arisen, inexplicably, decreased by half.
