Seeking the Way of Immortality

The lights gradually went out. Before they were completely extinguished, a silvery white had already appeared in the eastern sky. A new day was about to begin.

Wu Zheng knew it was time to leave! He had already gotten what he wanted. The next step was to find a place where few people went to practice his martial arts.

But it was obviously not at this moment. The New Year had just passed, and there were still things to do, at least to say goodbye to the neighbors who had been with him for nearly a year.

After a night of digestion, Liu Chan had also woken up.

"Uncle, what kind of wine did you give me to drink yesterday? Why am I so black, dirty, and a little smelly?" Liu Chan asked in confusion.

"Go take a bath quickly, there will be guests at home soon." Wu Zheng said, touching Liu Chan's head.

"Well, okay!"

,,,,,,,

"Uncle, tell me quickly, what kind of wine is that? Why do I feel that my physical strength has increased." Liu Chan said unwillingly after taking a bath.

"Did you forget that uncle told you that there is a kind of wine in the world of cultivation that can change your physique?" Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Uncle, there are so many kinds of wine in the world of cultivation, how can I know them! Just tell me!" Liu Chan said while hugging Wu Zheng's arm.

"Well, that is 'Honghuang Blood Marrow Brew', which is a recipe given to me by a friend of mine in the past." Wu Zheng said recallingly.

"Oh, uncle, that wine is red, it can't be brewed with blood!" Liu Chan said subconsciously.

"Well, yes, that wine is brewed by collecting the blood of third- and fourth-level monsters and various spiritual materials. Every bottle is a priceless treasure." Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Ah! No way! I actually drank the blood of monsters." Liu Chan said speechlessly.

"Hehe." Wu Zheng laughed softly.

"Humph, stinky uncle, you still have the nerve to laugh, I won't play with you! I'm going to find Heidan and Xiaohei." Liu Chan said with dissatisfaction, pouting.

The two of them have lived together for a while and have become accustomed to this kind of playfulness. Wu Zheng also felt a long-lost sense of family affection.

The Honghuang Blood Marrow Brew that Liu Chan and Xiao Hei drank yesterday was diluted, otherwise it is uncertain whether Liu Chan could get up now!

After Liu Chan jumped away, Wu Zheng began to prepare meals for the day.

Because it was New Year, almost no one would come to buy wood carvings, so Wu Zheng had a lot of rest time and seemed to be much more relaxed.

Soon, the children from the neighborhood came to wish Wu Zheng a happy new year.

"Uncle Wu Zheng, I'm here to wish you a happy new year! Where's my gift?" said a fat little boy.

"Well, it's on the shelf, take whatever you like." Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Uncle, I wish you a happy new year!" Zhang Chen's two children said with a smile.

"Uncle, I wish you a happy new year too!" A childish voice appeared, but it was the children of Dong Yuning and Chen Yanyu across the street.

The little guy can now walk and talk! On weekdays, this little guy comes to Wu Zheng's place frequently, and Liu Chan also likes to play with this little guy.

"Who is it? It's our little Dong Yang!" Wu Zheng smiled and picked up Dong Yang.

"Uncle, where is the little turtle you carved for me?" Little Dong Yang said, looking around with his big black eyes.

Wu Zheng took out a black wooden sculpture like a magic trick: "Look what this is? Uncle prepared it for you a long time ago!"

"Ah! It's so beautiful! Uncle loves me the most!" Little Dong Yang grabbed the black turtle wooden sculpture and shouted excitedly.

"Of course! Our little Dong Yang is the cutest. Who else can uncle love if not you?" Wu Zheng smiled and pinched the fat face of little Dong Yang.

After a while, dozens of little guys came to greet Wu Zheng, and Wu Zheng kept them at home for dinner. Things like this happened frequently during the year Wu Zheng lived there.

The food Wu Zheng made was sweet and delicious, and the little guys liked it very much. Since they came, they had no intention of leaving.

Wu Zheng added some elixirs to the food. Anyone who ate the food he made was basically immune to all diseases and healthy and strong.

After lunch, Wu Zheng took out dozens of jade pendants he had carved, strung them with red ropes, and hung them around the necks of the little ones one by one.

"This is a gift from uncle. Do you like it?"

"Yes."

"As long as it's given by uncle, we like it."

"Uncle is the best to us!"

The little ones said one after another.

"Well, since you like it, then promise uncle not to take it off and keep it with you all the time, understand?" Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Okay."

"We know."

"Uncle, don't worry."

The little ones said goodbye to Wu Zheng one after another.

After returning home, they took out the jade pendant Wu Zheng gave them to show their parents. They were young and didn't understand the value of the jade pendant, but their parents knew the value of the jade pendant.

This jade pendant was carefully made by Wu Zheng. There were various things he carved on it, and on the back of the jade pendant there were the names of each child. Such a jade pendant, plus a little bit of Wu Zheng's true essence stored, was enough to protect their lives once.

It was Wu Zheng's unintentional action that the children who received the jade pendant were more or less protected by it several years later, and some even kept it as a family heirloom.

Several years later, the descendants of these people were protected by the jade pendant and avoided death.

One by one, the straightforward men went to Wu Zheng's house to invite Wu Zheng and his wife to dinner.

Wu Zheng also agreed one by one.

Wu Zheng knew in his heart that this might be the last time he would eat and drink with them in this place! After all, he did not belong here, and he would leave.

Every time Wu Zheng drank to his heart's content, Liu Chan seemed to feel something, changed her usual indifference, and smiled more, which made all the neighbors happy.

Three days later, Wu Zheng threw several pills into the wells of the neighbors. These pills were enough to change their physiques and ensure that they would not get sick. Of course, these were time-limited. As long as the medicinal power of the pills was released into the air, they would not be of much use!

But these were enough!

Wu Zheng's goal had been achieved.

After that, Wu Zheng specially visited his neighbors one by one and presented his carved wood carvings one by one, whether adults or children, everyone had one, without missing a single one.

Old Sun next door, iron forger Zhang Chen, Dong Yuning's family opposite, and most of the villagers.

Liu Chan also knew that Wu Zheng was going to leave, but this was also within her expectations. At the beginning of the new year, Liu Chan and Wu Zheng went to Baishi Town and brought several carts of food and daily necessities.

There were only a few hundred households in Baishi Town, and the people here basically had more or less relatives, so Wu Zheng took Liu Chan to visit them one by one and told them that they were leaving here.

Although the villagers were reluctant to part with Liu Chan, they were also very pleased to see the changes in Liu Chan during this period of time, knowing that Wu Zheng treated Liu Chan like a relative.

After instructing Liu Chan on some matters, he waved goodbye to Liu Chan in tears.

The sixth day of the first lunar month.

That night, Wu Zheng and Liu Chan did not alarm anyone. Wu Zheng put all the things he carried with him into the storage ring, and the two took advantage of the night and walked towards the Chijin Mountains.

At dawn the next day, when someone found that the sign on Wu Zheng's Yuanmu Pavilion was gone, they pushed open Wu Zheng's door and found out that Wu Zheng and Liu Chan had left.

Wu Zheng left quietly without leaving a word.

The little turtle was gone, the big black dog was gone, and the wood carvings in the room had been distributed to the neighbors, making it look empty.

However, the old locust tree in Wu Zheng's house was unexpectedly covered with green leaves and bloomed with fragrant locust flowers, and the fragrance of locust flowers filled the entire Langnan City.

Anyone who smelled the fragrance of locust flowers felt comfortable all over.

It was not until this moment that they knew that Wu Zheng was not an ordinary mortal. From then on, the house where Wu Zheng lived became the object of worship for everyone, and the big locust tree became a god-like existence, worshipped in the yard by the world.

And three days after Wu Zheng left, someone from Yanjing came, saying that he wanted to find the owner of Yuanmu Pavilion, only to find out that Wu Zheng had left. In order to appreciate Wu Zheng's merits, the Yan royal family specially ordered that Wu Zheng's house be established as a model for everyone to worship and enjoy the fireworks of the world.

In the main hall, the statue of Wu Zheng is lifelike and popular among people.

Strangely enough, when people with diseases drink the water from the well and smell the fragrance of the locust tree, their illnesses are immediately relieved, and Wu Zheng's name is well-known throughout the Yan State.

The locust tree is always green, and the well water is always overflowing!
