Qi Wuhuo gazed at the mountain, contemplating for a moment before deciding to go up the mountain for a walk. After snowfall, the snow in the mountains didn’t melt as quickly as in the city and traces would linger longer. Therefore, if the mountain is not closed after a snowfall in winter, there is often a lot to gain. Not to mention plump winter rabbits, but if he could find winter bamboo shoots. Tonight’s meal would be a feast. Winter bamboo shoots stewed with cured meat, along with a few freshly…-

“Selling ghosts?!” Li Yuelin's face stiffened slightly. There were all sorts of trades in this world, but he had never heard of anyone selling ghosts. His heart was filled with both anxiety and confusion, and he quickly urged: "What is going on, speak quickly." Li Yixian took a sip of tea, paused as if recalling the past, and then slowly began to narrate. It was a night on a desolate road. I had been conducting business near the capital. I had calculated everything carefully, always thinking that…

Qi Wuhuo looked at the old man and nodded in response. However, as soon as he made this movement, the natural aura that had harmonized with the environment dissipated. The sparrow, startled, flew away. The old man watched the bird take flight and smiled: “Once you refine the innate Qi, you will be able to naturally merge with heaven and earth. At that point, all beasts and birds will not be disturbed by your presence.” With a glance, the old man could tell that Qi Wuhuo had already nurtured his…

Qi Wuhuo sat beside the stone table, and the old man served him a cup of tea. The aroma of the tea filled his senses, it seemed to split into two effects: one calmed and settled the mind, while the other penetrated the forehead, gradually soothing the scattered, painfully throbbing mind, alleviating the previous suffering. Once the old man saw that he had regained his composure, he began to speak softly: "The Dao arises from the void and generates the Primordial Qi, which then produces Yin and…

Two rounds of questioning and answering. The responses became increasingly concise. Qi Wuhuo then stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed, saying: “Please, old sir, teach me.” The old man accepted his bow, then lifted him up with a smile, saying: “It seems this dream has been quite beneficial to you, so I accept your bow.” “However, what you seek, I cannot teach you.” “The Great Way of Immortality is something you have to seek and search for; it’s not like how a teacher…

The yellow millet porridge is still not done? The words seemed to awaken Qi Wuhuo from his reverie. His gaze slowly shifted, taking in the bundle on the side table, the books spread out nearby, and the three strings of copper coins that Teacher Su had brought. He noticed the green plants he was tending to the side, the pile of cabbage in the corner, and the unchopped firewood in the courtyard outside. He lay on the wooden bed he had made himself, feeling the lingering warmth from the bed. He closed his…

The lingering notes of the qin music drifted into the wind as Qi Wuhuo looked up. The evening breeze rustled through the fields, and the crescent moon hung low in the forest. He soon saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old step out of the sedan chair. She was adorned with a crown of jade lotus, draped in purple silk, with red jade pendants, and her dress trailed with phoenix patterns. Her bright eyes and fair wrists, her graceful steps, and her enchanting presence were beyond anything he had…

Qi Wuhuo, holding the jade pillow, returned to his bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep, drowsy sleep. The jade pillow seemed to be hollow inside, appearing to grow larger and larger until it suddenly enveloped him. Qi Wuhuo felt as if he were falling into an abyss, and a cold sweat broke out all over him. In the midst of the daze, it seemed as if he opened his eyes and saw that the sky had turned to dusk. He had slept for a long time, and outside, a heavy snow was falling, covering…

As soon as the voice fell, there was a clatter. The small mechanism in the red-dressed girl's hand had fallen onto the carriage’s carpet, making a dull sound, and she seemed unable to immediately process what her father had said. After a moment, her face turned pale and she asked: “Father, are you joking?” Su Shengyuan responded seriously: “Marriage is a serious matter, how could Father treat it lightly? This child’s talent is extraordinary, like a dragon soaring in the wild. In just a few…

Twelve hundred steps carried. Twelve hundred years of lifespan. Such a statement carries a tremendous weight. The insects and fireflies in the gauze bag seemed momentarily dazed. Qi Wuhuo raised his head to look at the old man, his chewing slowed, and he furrowed his brows, saying: “Are you perhaps joking, old sir?” “According to legend, even Peng Zu only lived for eight hundred years. Twelve hundred years?” The old man spread his hand and smiled with amusement: “Well, since you refuse this…
