Chapter 57 Oh, isn't this Han Feiyu? You've looked so tired after just a few days!
People like them who have consumed the sacred fruit and divine spring do indeed have an advantage when entering the desolate ancient forbidden land again.
The Holy Land intends to use them to harvest the sacred medicine.
Ye Fan also longed to use the power of a major force to clear away the obstacles around the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and gain more benefits.
On the path of spiritual practice, how can one turn a bicycle into a motorcycle without taking a chance?
The bold get rich, the timid starve.
Lu Sheng agreed, saying that the Holy Land should be squeezed dry; no amount of ruthless exploitation would yield any results.
"It just so happens that Jade Cauldron Cave Heaven is nearby. Yiyi and the others are inside. Let's go say hello first."
Lu Sheng led Ye Fan at breakneck speed, and when they arrived at Jade Cauldron Cave Heaven, a group of savage beast riders made the cultivators inside the cave Heaven extremely nervous.
These knights are basically all at the Divine Bridge Realm, enough to become elders in small, low-level factions.
It's one thing to have such a high level of cultivation, but to use someone with that level of cultivation as a lowly soldier clearly indicates that they are no ordinary person.
Lu Sheng, standing at the head of the group, directly addressed the cultivators at the entrance of the Jade Cauldron Cave, saying, "I am a disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land, here to visit a friend. There's no need to make a fuss. Just do what you're doing."
Even so, upon hearing the word "sacred land," the Jade Cauldron cultivator's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly sent someone to inform the sect leader and elders.
The Yao Guang Holy Land holds absolute authority in this area.
Lu Sheng didn't pay any attention and went about his business, sending someone to deliver the message.
Among the classmates who left Yuding Cave, the most familiar ones are Liu Yiyi and Zhang Wenchang.
Liu Yiyi was a classmate she knew relatively well. When the six great cave heavens divided the relic bracelet, she gave it to Ye Fan, who was diagnosed as a cripple at the time.
Zhang Wenchang, also known as the Wenchang Emperor, was a renowned figure. In his later cultivation at Zhuofeng, he focused on achieving a breakthrough when his lifespan was nearing its end.
However, at this time, Zhang Wenchang was ostracized in the cave because of his lack of talent, and he was not having a good time.
Liu Yiyi was in seclusion, practicing her cultivation in the depths, while Zhang Wenchang had some free time.
Soon Lu Sheng saw Zhang Wenchang, whose temples were somewhat gray, but whose appearance had returned to that of a young man.
He left all the beast riders outside the cave, and when Zhang Wenchang saw him and Ye Fan, he was overjoyed.
"Lu Sheng, Ye Fan, what brings you here?"
Lu Sheng chuckled and said, "Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night. Now that I've made it big, of course I have to take care of my old classmates. I have a great opportunity to make money, and I'll take you with me."
Ye Fan coughed and said, "Wen Chang is an honest man, don't try to fool him."
"Alright, then I'll just give you the gift." Lu Sheng took out a small red sword, one of the spoils he had snatched while dancing at the grave.
He has too many spirit weapons; he can't possibly use them all normally. He gives them away as gifts to make a good impression.
The dazzling light of the magical weapon stunned Zhang Wenchang, who quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I can't accept such a valuable gift."
"Oh, okay, since you don't like it, I'll introduce you to a good company next time. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, I understand."
Lu Sheng never engages in internal strife; his actions were so impressive that Ye Fan actually started coughing.
Zhang Wenchang didn't mind at all. He said happily, "It's already very good that you remembered me. Come on, there's a restaurant not far ahead. I'll treat you to a meal."
When friends come to visit, you should at least show them the proper hospitality as a host.
The territory of Jade Cauldron Cave is vast, with pavilions and terraces built in some places, and enticing aromas wafting from exquisite restaurants.
Upon seeing the situation, Lu Sheng couldn't help but say, "I knew the cook at Lingxu Cave Heaven deserved to be beaten to death. He must be an outsourced business run by the sect leader's brother-in-law."
Ye Fan nodded in agreement; he had been feeling really stifled during that time.
The desire for food and drink is the most basic desire; even the most basic desire should be relegated to the back of the list.
Unless one is an unparalleled demon with a seal, how could anyone, after months of not eating oily food, choose a bowl of braised pork over a giant scholar in black silk?
Zhang Wenchang laughed heartily and said, "There's plenty of meat today. Although I'm not doing so well, I still have some spare money."
Upon entering the restaurant, the three ordered a table full of dishes. After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Zhang Wenchang, who had drunk too much, gradually became teary-eyed and, in his drunken state, revealed the truth:
"Lu Sheng, Ye Fan, to be honest with you, I really miss home. When I left, my wife was already pregnant, and our child was about to be born."
As he spoke, the gray-haired old man suddenly burst into tears.
Ye Fan sighed and offered a few words of comfort.
Lu Sheng said, "There will be opportunities. Since you can come, you can go back. In the future, all regrets will be made up for. This is a world with immortals, and reversing time is not without hope."
"The biggest question as you continue on the path of spiritual practice is whether you will lose your initial commitment over the endless years."
"One day I will make sure you return home in glory, but you'd better not meet any fairies or enchantresses on the way and fall in love with someone else."
"Ye Fan and I are both single, and according to the customs of Beidou, we can have a harem."
"Don't change."
Zhang Wenchang sobbed, leaning over his desk, "No, I dream of seeing my child..."
"Then there's no problem. I have a really awesome brother who's known as the Young Supreme. I'll ask him to help you out; it's a piece of cake."
Lu Sheng remained calm, eating and drinking as usual.
On the path of great things, something must always be lost.
It's just a separation, not a final farewell, which is already a great fortune.
From another perspective, Zhang Wenchang's unborn child is destined to be an imperial prince, having been born to a great emperor as his father.
As long as Zhang Wenchang stays true to his original aspirations, the mother and daughter on Earth will be blessed after all the hardships they've endured over the years.
The restaurant was bustling with people. A few young figures slowly entered, and upon seeing the weeping Zhang Wenchang, they immediately began to mock him:
"Who do we have here? It's just a half-crippled old man hiding here crying, acting like a woman at his age."
"That's true. Hiding behind women all day long, letting that Liu guy tattle on you every day, isn't he more womanly than a woman herself?"
The group burst into laughter.
Ye Fan frowned and said, "Watch your mouth, don't go too far."
"Excessive? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?"
Those men continued to swagger and act arrogantly. A slightly immature figure in the crowd, his eyes blazing with fury, stepped forward and gritted his teeth, saying:
"Life is full of unexpected encounters; I never thought I'd see you again."
Han Feiyu, who had been away for a long time, said angrily, "Ye Fan, you're not going anywhere today. No one can save you. I'm going to skin you alive."
"Wow, the market has gone up after a few days."
Lu Sheng, who had his back to them, turned around and smiled:
"It's true what they say, life is full of unexpected encounters. Junior Brother Han, we meet again. Do you still recognize me?"
"Pretty impressive. I spared your life out of kindness, considering your great-uncle's unparalleled benevolence and the immense help he gave my good brother. Yet you still dared to skin him alive outside. Tsk, it's my fault."
Han Feiyu, who was mixed in with the disciples of Jade Cauldron Cave Heaven, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with terror. He took two steps back, his expression a mixture of fear and dread.
"Senior Brother Lu? What are you doing here? I was wrong, I deserve to die, please forgive me, you are a magnanimous person."
