Shen Qing nodded in satisfaction.

He was about to cross the Purple Mansion barrier and enter the Golden Core Realm.

The Qi-Blood, Spirit Meridian, and Purple Mansion realms are collectively known as the Three Mortal Realms.

While Golden Core, Dharma Aspect, and Saint King realms are collectively known as the Three Profound Realms.

Signifying transcending the mortal and entering the profound.

Even if he couldn't draw any minor realm advancement cards later, Shen Qing could still cultivate to the ninth layer and break through to the next realm on his own.

“There's still over a thousand karma points left, I hope Lin Yi doesn't disappoint This Young Master.”

...At the foot of the mountain where the Medical Immortal resided.

Lin Yi wore a faded, old-fashioned cloth shirt, his hair unkempt and messy, directly draped behind his head, sticking up in all directions.

“Finally, he let This Young Master down!!!”

Gazing at the beautiful world before him, Lin Yi couldn't help but shout loudly.

“Old Man, you still want This Young Master to go back and take care of you in your old age? This Young Master is like a fish entering the sea the moment he descends the mountain—free!”

The vast world at the foot of the mountain was so much better than being stuck on that broken mountain with an Old Man every day.

He, This Young Master Lin, used to catch chickens and dogs in the village, occasionally tease Xiao Mei at the village entrance, and sometimes even sneak a peek at the widow bathing.

But these past few years on the mountain had almost turned him into a monk.

Eating bland food was one thing, but the Old Man insisted that he live a life of purity and few desires, claiming it was for cultivating his state of mind.

Hmph!

If it weren't for playing the obedient and filial role so well these past two years, he might not have been able to come down.

On the mountain, there was only the Old Man, him, and his Third Senior Sister.

However, his Third Senior Sister lived on the other side of the mountain peak, and he lived with his master, so he rarely saw his Third Senior Sister; lessons were also taught centrally in the lecture hall in the middle.

It had suffocated him.

Thinking of his Third Senior Sister, Lin Yi couldn't help but drool.

Slurp~

Wiping away his drool, he planned to go and seek refuge with his Third Senior Sister after descending the mountain. From then on, with proximity, it would be easy for him, with his abilities, to win the beauty's heart.

“Oh, right, the Old Man told This Young Master to open this cloth bag after descending the mountain. What exactly is inside?”

The old cloth bag still had stubborn stains that wouldn't wash off. He wondered what the Old Man usually put in it.

Lin Yi opened the cloth bag.

“A letter? Left by the Old Man?”

He unfolded the letter: “This Young Master knew you wouldn't be able to settle down. In the bag are several child betrothals This Young Master arranged years ago. You are This Young Master's only Successor of the Medical Immortal, so these engagements fall to you, hehe~”

“Hehe~”

Lin Yi finished reading the letter and also started to giggle foolishly.

Child betrothals, and several of them!

The Old Man truly understood This Young Master!

He eagerly pulled out the marriage contracts from the cloth bag.

Each contract contained the other party's information.

“Cai Chunmei, Li Xiaohong, Zhao Yanhua...”

“Why do these names sound like Widow Wang? How many years ago was the 'years ago' the Old Man mentioned?”

Moreover, most of them were 'so-and-so from this village' and 'so-and-so from that village.'

The Old Man couldn't possibly think This Young Master was still that little hooligan who teased Xiao Hua, could he?

Times had changed; he, Lin Yi, was going to achieve great things, to become an immortal and an ancestor.

“Holy crap!” Lin Yi suddenly yelled as he continued flipping through the marriage contracts.

Why was there even someone named Hong Gang? The Old Man couldn't have arranged a male child betrothal for This Young Master, could he?!

A scoop of water from the ditch below splashed directly onto his face. An auntie doing farm work roared, “What are you yelling about?!”

“You've been shouting there since just now. Did someone die in your family?!”

Lin Yi's forehead throbbed with veins, but he was no longer the little hooligan he used to be. He wouldn't stoop to arguing with these ordinary people. Calm down, calm down.

Wiping the water from his face, Lin Yi sniffed, detecting a strange odor.

“Hmm? Is this... corn kernels?”

He squeezed them, and the yellow corn kernels burst open with a 'pop.'

Amidst his confusion, Lin Yi saw the auntie, after watering, directly scoop up the manure water from the bucket.

Damn it, manure water!

“Ugh!”

Lin Yi retched, quickly running away.

He didn't care that the marriage contracts in his hand were soiled, stuffing them all into the old cloth bag.

“'Break off the engagement, This Young Master must break off the engagement!'”

Starting with that Hong Gang... Yongning Prefecture.

Inside the city.

This city was separated from the Star Sect by another city and a surging river, making it somewhat troublesome for mortals to pass through.

Shen Qing sat inside the carriage, a red jade-like Red Sleeve resting on his right side.

From the outside, the carriage appeared to be of ordinary size, but it contained a hidden dimension, equivalent to the size of an independent small courtyard, including a room.

The decorations were luxurious, the soft cushions beneath him made from silk spun by thousand-year-old ice silkworms, and the carriage roof was illuminated by the Big Dipper constellation formed by seven dragon pearls.

It was said that the Dragon Race had once offended his master before he became an immortal, resulting in seven dragons being slaughtered, their dragon pearls extracted, dragon scales flayed, and dragon tendons torn.

The remaining dragon blood and meat were given to the Star Sect's medicinal garden for fertilizer.

Ultimately, the Dragon Race came to offer apologies and reparations, which prevented further slaughter.

The horse pulling the carriage now was a white dragon horse, one of the reparations sent at that time.

A Saint King Realm dragon horse.

Its cultivation talent was average, but its speed was quite good.

Zhao Mingyue found its cultivation too low and couldn't be bothered to raise such small creatures, so she threw it to pull the carriage.

She herself didn't use this carriage for travel, so this dragon horse usually lived in the Star Sect, leading quite a carefree life.

This time, Ning Zhenzhen had a whim and wanted to experience driving a carriage, so she borrowed this carriage and horse.

She was already outside, chatting with the horse, calling it 'Dragon Horse Big Sister' repeatedly.

The dragon horse would occasionally neigh, one speaking human language, the other dragon language, each speaking their own.

Shen Qing didn't know how they managed to converse.

Ning Zhenzhen lifted the curtain and walked in: “We're almost at the Jiang Family.”

“Don't worry, This Young Master will definitely set you two up!”

Ning Zhenzhen clenched her fist.

Shen Qing waved her over, then wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her onto his lap in front of him.

Anyway, it didn't matter whether this carriage had a driver or not; the Saint King Realm dragon horse outside was more effective than any autonomous driving system.

They traveled in the sky, not descending to compete for space with ordinary people.

“Why are you so keen on setting This Young Master up with dates?”

Shen Qing embraced her for a while, his hands, with their own ideas, automatically sought Ning Zhenzhen's Dao Heart.

The Dao Heart had three layers of protection, but fortunately, as a Purple Mansion cultivator one major realm higher than Ning Zhenzhen, Shen Qing broke through them with ease.

Ning Zhenzhen blushed, squirmed a bit, and whispered, “It's nothing, really...”

She simply found it very stimulating to see her beloved Senior Brother with others...
