Li Haoran was the earliest to arrive, seeming a bit nervous.

With Old Horse there, Lu Yang didn’t need to be anxious about riding the flying ship.

“Who would have thought, you sly guy, you have a fiancée?” Meng Jingzhou teased Li Haoran, making subtle jokes about him.

Being the eldest legitimate son of the Meng Family, people from the royal palace began to pay visits even before he was born, hoping to build connections with Meng Jingzhou and the Meng Family.

After Meng Jingzhou was born, the number of people proposing marriage overwhelmed the doorway.

“Had I not devoted myself to cultivation, I would have been quite the catch within the royal palace,” lamented Meng Jingzhou.

Li Haoran comforted him, “As the saying goes, when one gains something, they inevitably lose something else. Even though you lost the chance to live as a privileged noble in the royal city, what you gained is the Pure Yang Spiritual Root that many people dream of.”

Lu Yang also encouraged him from the side, “Exactly, cherish this opportunity to mingle with female cultivators. Once you form the Single Golden Elixir, it will automatically repel women, and you won’t even have the chance to speak to them.”

Meng Jingzhou was infuriated, “Shameless! Stop messing with my Dao-heart! I’ve never heard of such a feature of the Single Golden Elixir!”

Lu Yang replied calmly, “This is an ancient secret that I don’t tell many people!”

Meng Jingzhou eyed Lu Yang suspiciously. Considering that Lu Yang possessed the spirit of a terrifying ancient True Immortal inside him, it wasn’t strange for him to be privy to some ancient secrets.

“Wait, the Single Body Spiritual Root first appeared in the Great Yu dynasty. There was no such thing during ancient times! You’re just tricking me!” Meng Jingzhou realized quickly, “Take this, my Turtle-styled Fist attacks!”

The two began a feisty duel in the confined space, only to be finally dissuaded by Li Haoran.

“Junior Brother Li, what is your fiancée’s background?” Lu Yang recalled Li Haoran’s past. As his parents were ordinary cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage with no special talent, Li Haoran’s Fire Spirit Root had been merely a fortunate accident, the same as his own.

Speaking of his fiancée, Li Haoran grimaced, “I really don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were surprised who wouldn’t know the identity of their own fiancée.

“According to my parents, when they were adventuring outside, they encountered life-threatening danger. Coincidentally, an influential figure passed by and saved them. Since my mother already been pregnant with me for about three months, that person suggested that they forge a marital bond due to the fortunate encounter, thus deciding my matrimonial fate.”

“After that, the influential figure left, never to seen again.”

“Being capable of soaring in the sky, that individual must have been at least at the Golden Core Stage, but his precise cultivation level is a mystery.”

“My parents don’t know anything about him, not even his name, his surname, his origin, or his destination.”

“…your fiancée was arranged quite carelessly.”

“Tell me about it.” Li Haoran responded with a helpless smile.

“The main issue was that my parents felt they were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and what would such an influential figure gain from them. Even if I had some talent, it would only amount to the potential to reach the Golden Core Stage at most. As you can see, I ended up with the Fire Spirit Root.”

If a cultivator with a single spiritual root does not die prematurely, he is destined to become extremely successful in Cultivation. These cultivators possess talent that all influential families attempt to pull towards their side. For example, when Lu Yang was tested and found to possess the Sword Spirit Root, many longstanding influential families were tempted, hoping to marry their daughters to him.

However, Lu Yang eventually became Daoist Buyu’s disciple and stayed at Sky Gate Mountain. As such, those influential families lost their opportunity to propose.

“Could it be that the influential figure foresaw that you have the Fire Spirit Root?” Meng Jingzhou was puzzled, “That can’t be right, I haven’t heard of such a magic skill.”

If there was such a magic skill, the Meng Family would have acquired it much earlier and wouldn’t have waited until Meng Jingzhou turned four to test his spiritual root.

“Strange.”

“Let’s not worry about it. Once we meet your fiancée, everything will be clear.” The three of them thought about it and didn’t arrive at a conclusion, so they simply gave up on pondering it any further.

Old Horse pulled the cart the entire day before they arrived at Li Haoran’s house.

Li Haoran’s home was in Luofeng County. It’s said that a pure-blooded phoenix had died there, blessing all living beings, thus naming the place Luofeng County.

“The ambiance is better than Yanjiang County!” Peeking his head out of the carriage, Lu Yang saw the magnificent city walls, the bustling traffic, and felt those barely perceptible gazes fall onto him, indicating the extraordinary power of Luofeng County.

“Halt, get down from the carriage for inspection,” the city gate guards stopped the carriage.

The three of them confidently presented the tokens from Seek Dao Sect for inspection.

“So it turns out you are Daoists from Dao Sect, please enter.”

Seeing that the three of them were from Seek Dao Sect, the guard immediately showed due respect. No matter what the internal affairs of Seek Dao Sect were like, the disciples were all outstanding individuals with great achievements.

As one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, Seek Dao Sect naturally held a lot of power that local government offices would be wary of.

The most troublesome and terrifying power was the right to enforce the law. If the Immortal Sects found out about any illegal activities or collusion with the Demon Path in the local government, they had the right to execute before reporting.

However, the Five Great Immortal Sects would give face to the Great Xia dynasty and allow it to handle these matters itself, unless the situations were urgent or there was no other choice, the Five Great Immortal Sects would only resort to this last measure.

After revealing their affiliation with Seek Dao Sect, those barely perceivable gazes on the three of them disappeared. Those were guards hiding in the shadows, preventing thieves from infiltrating Luofeng County to create trouble.

As for the Seek Dao Sect rebels, that was beyond their job scope.

“Our home is over here,” Li Haoran pointed out the route for Old Horse.

Along the way, the trio heard a storyteller’s voice in a teahouse, narrating the “Legend of the Dao Sect”.

“…Speaking of Daoist Buyu, a man of high moral standing and integrity, he went to prison multiple times to experience the hardships of life. Eating and living with the convicts, talking to them compassionately, he cared why they ended up in this state…”

“Sometimes, Daoist Buyu would learn about places infested by demons from the convicts, and he would go there to exorcise the evil.”

“Today’s story begins with Daoist Buyu getting information from the prison…”

“…Daoist Buyu learned from a convict that there was something eerie about An Family Manor. Those who left the manor would be in a state of confusion and disorientation. Even so, they still longed to return…”

“…Daoist Buyu saw through the plot of the An family’s master and fought valiantly within, terrifying the demons into pleading for mercy so they would never cause harm again…”

Lu Yang looked strange, thinking that his master was a little too exaggerated in his artistry, “From what I remember, wasn’t An Family Manor a facade for a brothel run by a group of energy-absorbing Sly Foxes, disguised as a village to avoid paying taxes? Weren’t they finally exposed by the Great Xia’s tax loophole investigation, resulting in the Manor being sealed off?”

Li Haoran was taken aback, “There was such a thing? But since the Sect Master made up this story, he must have his reasons. Maybe he played a significant role on the inside!”

“He was a customer, who was locked up for fifteen days.”
