Li Xiuyuan boiled a large bucket of hot water, put in some elixir, and let the old man take a medicinal bath quietly.

I cooked a pot of white porridge, grilled two pieces of black python meat that Xiao Hei had caught, and fried a plate of vegetables.

When Xu was approaching, the old man changed into a clean green shirt and sat down under the big tree.

The cool mountain wind blew gently on their faces. The old man opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, looking extremely comfortable.

After a long while, he said leisurely: "Wake up from a big dream, it feels like a lifetime ago."

Li Xiuyuan poured two glasses of spiritual wine and said quietly: "I have never thought that the autumn in Wangyue Stream is so beautiful, and the hearts of the elders of the academy are so dark..."

The old man was stunned, stared blankly at the wine in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory. Fortunately, the master forced me to accept a good student."

"It seems that the fat elder is not bad. Wei Qing said that the food we eat and drink these days is brought by the fat elder from the academy."

Li Xiuyuan was trying hard to imagine what the fat elder would be like after he broke through.

"He, he's pretty good, he's my good brother."

The old man did not shy away from praising the fat elder this time, and continued: "In this life, you will only be able to see clearly who your true friends are at the moment you are about to die."

Li Xiuyuan gave the old man a bowl of white porridge and said quietly: "This is what the world calls an irreversible friendship in adversity of life and death."

Looking back, Li Xiuyuan thought over and over again, who should be his friend in times of adversity and life and death.

After much deliberation, I couldn't find anyone.

Except for Mu Mu and Xiao Qing, who were in unknown places and in danger of life and death, it seemed that they had never disturbed their relatives and friends around them.

If we have to find him, we can only find Xiaobai who took him through the void and flew into the sky in Ding'an City.

It's just that after that guy transformed, his relationship with his master Long Qingfeng became much deeper.

The two have the same love as father and son, and in Li Xiuyuan's opinion, the two will naturally have a bright future in the future.

The current Xiao Hei is a fool. After entering the Hualong Pond in Wolong Mountain, he followed his master to the Shenlong Continent.

After taking a trip with me on the River Styx, I found that there was no trace of the temperament that a dragon should have, and it completely turned into the unpredictable character of a crow.

"Fortunately, you came back in time, healed my wounds, and helped Wei Qing break through to the realm of his dreams."

The old man silently took a sip of spiritual wine and said softly: "As for the elders in the academy, let them make trouble as long as the dean doesn't do it..."

After saying that, the old man lowered his head and started eating the porridge in front of him one bite at a time.

After quietly finishing a bowl of porridge and taking out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, he sighed and looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled bitterly.

"If I go out with my current appearance, I'm afraid I will be laughed at by those old guys."

Shaking his head, the dean looked at his smooth fingers and said, "Is it possible that you gave me the magic medicine?"

Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and said quietly: "There is a sequence in learning the Tao, but there is no set time to enter the Tao. Even if you take the magic medicine, you still need the dean to practice hard."

The old man was stunned and murmured to himself: "You wouldn't tell me that I was about to ascend, right?"

"Eat these barbecues first, and then drink a glass of spirit wine."

Li Xiuyuan didn't want to discuss spiritual practice with the old man at the moment. He wanted the old man to rest for the night and start over in detail tomorrow.

The old man nodded, pointed to the room and asked: "Isn't that little crow hungry? Where did Xiao Qing go, and why didn't he come back with you?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said helplessly: "Xiao Hei is my younger brother... Xiao Qing ascended with a senior, and I guess she won't be able to come back in the future."

"It's a good chance for a little girl."

The old man looked at him in bewilderment and said: "Who would have thought that a green eagle on the mountain behind the academy would actually change its shape, follow you to the Shura battlefield, and then fly away..."

The old man thought that the master who ascended and left was already very great, but he didn't expect Xiaoqing to be even more powerful.

"These are just small things. Dean, have a good sleep tonight, and we will have a good chat tomorrow about the future of me, Wei Qing, and the fat elder."

Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "I have been very tired these days and want to take a good rest."

The old man laughed lightly.

Li Xiuyuan also smiled, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "I guess the academy is in a mess now. I set up a magic circle on the way to Wangyue Stream..."

The old man was stunned when he heard this and was speechless for a long time.

Li Xiuyuan looked at him with a serious expression and said: "I suggest that the dean should practice here with Junior Brother Wei Qing from now on. I have set up a large formation around this small house. No one in the Shura Domain should be able to break it."

"Why is this happening?" the old man asked puzzledly.

“Because it’s essential to be on guard against others.”

Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "When I was here, I could be ambushed by dozens of killers in black. Fortunately, I was lucky."

The old man was silent for a long time before he digested the shock in his heart and drank all the spiritual wine in his arms.

He murmured: "You should rest early. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it tomorrow."

That night, the old man who had been sleeping for several months finally returned to his house and had a peaceful sleep on the bed.

Even in the dream, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Xiuyuan was lying under the eaves, pillowing his head against the stars in the sky, thinking that when he returned to Luoxia Mountain, he would probably have the first light snowfall in the Shura Heaven.

…

A group of elders in the academy chased the fat elder and asked about the strange things in Wangyue Stream in the back mountain.

The fat elder pretended that he didn't know anything about it, and vowed: "Look, I can't enter the back mountain like you now."

How could the elders believe him? They still bothered him every day and asked him to take them to the back mountain to try.

It wasn't until one by one came back disappointed that they yelled unwillingly, gradually forgetting about the fat worker's failure one night,

After all, not even the fat elder can enter Wangyue Stream right now.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after settling all the chores in the kitchen, the fat elder cooked a few side dishes, and finally walked to the gazebo stream unwillingly.

How could Li Xiuyuan be capable of such weird things like Xindao? Could it be that the dean woke up?

It wasn't until he came to Wangyue Stream that the magic circle in front of him suddenly opened a passage for him, which startled him.

I quickly walked all the way in, thinking as I walked, something was about to change.

If the dean wakes up, I wonder if Elder Huangfu and the elders of Jiange will go crazy overnight!

After walking fast all the way, in less than half an hour, I stood in a daze under the big tree in front of the stone house, looking at the old and the young who were making tea, speechless.

Until the dean sighed leisurely: "Since you are here, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"

The fat elder was stunned and speechless. After a long time, he murmured: "How can there be a weirdo like you in the world? Could it be that there are gods coming from the back mountains?"

Li Xiuyuan looked up at the birds in the blue sky, smiled and said, "Are you feeling shocked? You are very proud, and a group of elders in the academy are also proud."

"If they knew that the dean had returned to his former self, I wonder if they could maintain their pride."

Reaching out and pouring a cup of spiritual tea for the fat elder, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "I will leave the academy after I stay with you two for one more day."

This time, he didn't think about leaving without saying goodbye.

In his opinion, the academy is also a place where he once lived. Although it was unpleasant later, it would not affect his friendship with the dean and the fat elder.

The fat elder looked to the sky in a daze, and after a long silence, he said: "It turns out that besides gods, there are also monsters like you in this world."

The dean has been judged as a useless person by a group of old men in the academy. Even if he wakes up by chance, he will be an old man with no cultivation and severed meridians.

But he didn't expect that after the young man's careful treatment, not only did he recover his cultivation, but it was like a spring breeze overnight, and the dean instantly became dozens of years younger.

Back to the middle-aged appearance.

"I also want to be like the dean, you have to help me think of a way."

The fat elder put the food he had brought on the table, looked at the two of them and said, "You can't favor one over the other. You have to give me a bowl of water."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and ignored him.

Instead, he looked at the dean and said: "Actually, there is no need for you to think about ascending and leaving here. Maybe you can find another way..."

In his opinion, as long as the fat elder drinks the sacred spring, the dean, Wei Qing, and the fat elder can still practice slowly here.

As long as you can step into the realm of mortal transformation, you can understand the way of the saint and the principles of the laws of heaven and earth.

When these words were spoken, not only the fat elder, but also the dean was shocked.

The two looked at the young man in front of them and asked in unison: "Is there anything more important in this world than ascension?"

He was speechless, and suddenly thought about his return to the Five Realms. He couldn't help but feel shaken, and a ripple was inevitably aroused in his heart.

He said seriously: "I don't have any cultivation now... In the eyes of outsiders, I am just like the previous dean, a useless person, how about that."

"Next, after I finish my work in the Shura Heaven Realm, I will go to the Heaven Realm where I was born and spend ten or even a hundred years to completely transform myself into a mortal."

After saying that, he handed the dean a thin handwritten volume.

Thinking of those women in Ding'an City, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, saying: "Maybe you can put down your hands and practice, to appreciate the way of heaven and earth, the way of saints..."

"What is the way of heaven and earth?" the fat elder asked curiously.

"What is the way of a saint? Aren't saints all legendary gods?" The dean was even more confused.

Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt that what he said was jumping too fast, so he had to smile bitterly and replied: "After you understand this book, try to spend ten years, or even fifty to a hundred years, to transform yourself into a
