Qiu Yun nodded to show that he understood.
The most important things in the path of immortal cultivation could be summarized as: wealth, companionship, law, and Dao.
The experience imparted by a senior could be cla.s.sified as preaching the Dao.
Seeing that his disciple already understood the importance of this matter, Daoist Master Huang Ze nodded and no longer reminded him.
“We must hold on to this senior’s thigh well. It’s rare to see such a great cultivator in a place like this for hundreds of years, not to mention such a cultivator who is willing to help the juniors. It’s even rarer than the stars in the sky,” Huang Ze said to himself.
“Zhu Zhao that old ghost has already given him the sword token of the Grand Moon Sect. If we were to give him our grand elder token, wouldn’t that be too perfunctory? But Senior even gave us something to drink… If the gift is too ordinary, wouldn’t it offend this senior?”
“Forget it, let’s go back and think about it! We can’t rush our relationship with Senior.”

After cleaning up his store, Liu Changgong found that it was getting late, and there didn’t seem to be any customers.
He looked outside the store and touched the lunar sword token that he had just gotten today. He felt that he had gained a lot today, so he decided to reward himself today.
He looked at the little fox on the ground and said, “You stay here and look after the store. I’m going to buy some things. When I come back, don’t let them mess up the store!”
Hearing this, the little fox immediately ran to Liu Changgong’s side and rubbed against him.
Liu Changgong touched the money in his sleeve and nodded. He was ready to go out and buy some food for dinner.
However, when he reached the door, he saw Little Fox following him at his feet.
“Hmm? You look after the shop. I’ll go buy some food and we’ll eat tonight!” Liu Changgong pointed at the shop and said to Little Fox on the ground.
Little Fox did nothing but look at Liu Changgong. It didn’t make any noise or sound.
Liu Changgong looked at the little fox who was pretending to be obedient on the ground and said with a headache, “Don’t you want to eat roast chicken? Don’t you like to eat Manager w.a.n.g’s roast chicken? How about you watch the shop and get half a roast chicken as a reward today?”
“Roast chicken? Or half a roast chicken? Just watch the shop. It’s worth it!” Little Fox tilted her head and blinked her eyes as it pondered. Then, she turned around and ran back to the shop.
Seeing the little fox finally go home, Liu Changgong shook his head with a bitter smile. “She’s really hard to please. She must be bribed to be obedient. Really…”
After saying that, he turned around and went to the market to buy today’s food.
…
After an unknown amount of time, two women, one tall and one short, appeared in front of the Immortal’s Destiny small shop. One was pure, and the other was cold. They were wearing black and white clothes respectively.
The two of them were wearing silk immortal-retaining dresses. However, even though they were wearing very beautiful clothes on the very beautiful women, they still felt that they did not fit well.
“According to the last clue, Her Highness the Princess might be here. Moreover, the people nearby have also seen a white fox that looks like Her Highness the Princess in her original form,” said the tall woman in black who had a stoic face.
After waiting for a long time without hearing her companion’s reply, the woman in black turned her head to look at her companion beside her.
Seeing that her companion was absent-minded, she looked at the shop door with vacant eyes. She frowned and thought, ‘How dare you be absent-minded in such a dangerous place in the territory of humans?’
She reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the woman in white and shook her companion awake.
“Hu–”
After the white-robed woman was shaken awake, she took a deep breath and touched her chest with lingering fear.
“It’s too scary. Just looking at this signboard, I feel like when I was still not fully formed from my cultivation, I saw a sword cultivator who could slay demons and devils. Sword Qi was overflowing, as if it was about to be cut open by the Sword Qi.”
Looking at the b.r.e.a.s.t.s on the white-robed woman’s chest, the black-robed woman’s frown deepened.
“Really? Is it really as mysterious as you say?”
The black-clothed woman raised her head to look at the signboard in front of the door, but she did not see anything.
Looking at her companion’s unsightly appearance… The black-clothed woman said, “Just now, I already smelled the unique scent of our Green Hill Mountain’s demonic cultivators. It is very likely that the Princess is inside. Since you feel uncomfortable looking at the signboard, then you might as well not look at it. And are you hallucinating because you’re too nervous in human territory…”
“I don’t know…”
The woman in black was speechless, then pulled the woman in white straight to the shop.
“Strange or not, our job is to find the Princess and bring her back.”
The woman in white had to follow obediently, with her head lowered and her small steps staggering.
After entering the shop.
The two of them looked delighted as they said in unison, “I think I feel it. The Princess is nearby…”
The two of them were even more delighted as they walked into the interior of the shop in quick steps.
The interior structure was not very big. One could clearly see the contents of the interior after looking around. There were not many things inside. They were only some handicrafts and some paintings hanging on the wall.
When the two of them looked at a painting on the wall, a sudden change occurred. They saw that the characters in the painting seemed to have come to life and were slowly walking towards them.
This scared the two little demons and they quickly averted their eyes.
However, when they got out of the painting, their eyes were focused on a calligraphy piece. What kind of calligraphy piece was that!
On it was a calligraphy piece that Liu Changgong had once written in anger because he did not have a spiritual root. The contents of the calligraphy piece were:
“Wait until autumn comes, September 8th. When my flowers bloom, I will kill a hundred flowers.
The sky-reaching incense array penetrates Chang’an, and the whole city is covered in golden armor.”
This poem was simply filled with killing intent. The two little demons who had not cultivated for long were so shocked by the killing intent that they almost lost their balance.
What kind of situation was that? The two little demons felt that it was simply too difficult for them. It was as if they were in the middle of a battle between two armies of G.o.ds and demons. They only felt that they were so weak and helpless, they felt that they were about to be turned into idiots by the surging killing intent.
“Why are you here?” Just as the two of them were about to turn into a puddle of mud, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
Under the stimulation of this voice, the two of them finally woke up from the killing intent that filled the calligraphy.
“Hu– hu–”
“How did you find this place?”
“Hu– Hu–”
“Say something! Why are you panting here? Were you also chased by someone and chased all the way here?” Little Fox looked at the two of them who were only panting and had no intention of replying. She was so anxious that she was about to curse.
