I only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at eighty years old, and then the system appeared.

Yang Hongbo had spent several years training in the wilderness of the Immortal Realm, and his foundation as an Immortal Emperor was already very solid. On this day, he discovered a small city. Although it was a small city, it had a population of five or six million.

Having not eaten for a long time, he decided to go into the city to satisfy his cravings.

Upon entering the city, we found a high-class restaurant.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Do you have any private rooms available?

"I'm sorry, sir, the VIP seats are all full, but there are a few window seats along the street in the lobby on the third floor."

"Then let's go up to the third floor!"

"Alright! Third floor, one adult please!"

We went up to the third floor, chose a window seat, ordered a few signature dishes and a pot of good wine, and then waited for the food to be served.

Suddenly, Yang Hongbo saw two four- or five-year-old children sitting on a step on the street below, giving a thumbs-up and looking towards the restaurant.

After the waiter brought the food and wine, Yang Hongbo took out a mid-grade immortal crystal, pointed at the two dolls, and asked, "What's the story behind those two dolls? Introduce them. This immortal crystal is yours!"

Xiao Er was overjoyed to hear this. His monthly salary was only fifty low-grade immortal crystals, and one mid-grade immortal crystal was equivalent to two months' income for him.

"Sir, they are twins, only five years old. The older sister is named He Xinyi, and the younger brother is named He Xinbao. They are the children of the eldest son of the Zhang family."

"Two years ago, the eldest son and his wife went to a ruin to search for treasure, but they never came back. The second son of the Zhang family raised the twins for a year and then kicked the two siblings out and took over his elder brother's property."

"The brother and sister built a shack in an alley and settled down. Fortunately, the people in the immortal realm have strong physical bodies and do not need to eat, otherwise the two siblings would have starved to death long ago."

"They were still young, had nowhere to go, and no money to buy food, so they could only sit near the entrance of the restaurant and watch others eat."

Yang Hongbo saw a deep purple light emanating from the twin sister's body, something that no one else could see except Yang Hongbo.

This radiance indicates that this little girl possesses god-like talent; it seems we should find a way to recruit her as our own.

He tossed the mid-grade immortal crystal to the waiter, telling him to go down and bring up the two dolls.

Before long, the two children stood timidly in front of Yang Hongbo. Yang Hongbo asked the waiter to add a few more dishes and two bowls of dessert for the children before looking at the two siblings.

Only then did the older sister muster the courage to ask, "Sir, why did you call us up here?"

"Heh, is it wrong for me to invite you two up to have dinner with me?"

The older sister hesitated for a moment, a look of fear crossing her face, but she still calmly asked, "Sir, do you intend to capture us, raise us, and then devour our flesh and blood?"

"Haha, you little rascal, you're so smart! How did you know all this?"

"When we were sitting near the entrance of the restaurant, we overheard the immortals inside chatting, and that's what they were saying!"

"Then do you know what a master and apprentice relationship is?"

"I know. If my disciple gets into trouble, I will stand up for him. If my master gets into trouble, I will avenge him."

"You're very clever. I'd like to take you on as my apprentice. Are you willing?"

"Sir, are you only accepting me?"

"Of course!"

"Then I can't be your apprentice, otherwise my younger brother will be lonely."

"Oh, why would you think that?"

"Since the master has accepted me as his apprentice, he will definitely take me with him. That means my younger brother will be left here all alone. Won't he be lonely?"

Why didn't you think I would take him with me?

"Really? My lord!"

"Of course, it's not like I can't afford to raise them."

He Xinyi immediately knelt down with her younger brother: "Master, your disciple He Xinyi kowtows to you!"

He Xinyi kowtowed to Yang Hongbo several times with a series of loud thuds.

"Haha, alright, my good disciples, sit down and eat!"

He Xinyi and He Xinbao sat obediently, like two little adults.

Do you hate your uncles?

He Xinyi said, "I definitely feel some hatred, after all, he kicked us out!"

"So, do you want revenge?"

"I'm still too young, we'll talk about that later!"

At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes to the table. When He Xinyi saw him, she knelt down and bowed to him.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Li. You've helped us many times before, and this time you've brought me to my master again!"

"Oh, apprentice, they helped you before?"

"Yes, Master, when my brother and I were sitting down there, if there were any leftover dishes from the immortals in the restaurant, the waiters would bring them out for us to eat!"

"Oh, not bad, not bad!"

Yang Hongbo took out a top-grade immortal crystal. "Go and call all the waiters in the restaurant!"

Upon seeing the top-grade immortal crystal, the waiter understood the master's meaning and quickly summoned the other waiters.

"In consideration of your past care for my disciple, I will bestow this top-grade immortal crystal upon you."

"Thank you for the gift, sir!"

The group quickly thanked him. After they left, Yang Hongbo ate with the two children.

The two siblings were very well-behaved. Although their stomachs were very empty, they still slowly ate the dishes with dessert.

"Sister, this meat is so delicious!"

"Little brother, these shrimp are delicious too!"

The two siblings ate while commenting on how delicious the dishes were.

After finishing his meal and paying the bill, Yang Hongbo asked the waiter, "Do you have any accommodations here?"

"Yes, sir. There is a separate courtyard in the back, and you can get two mid-grade immortal crystals every day."

"Find me a courtyard to stay in for five days!"

"Yes, sir!"

The waiter led the group to the backyard, where they found a courtyard. Yang Hongbo then took out several mid-grade immortal crystals: "Go buy the siblings some nice outfits. The extras are yours!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The waiter ran out happily.

"Master, we actually have a few more sets of clothes at home!"

Yang Hongbo glanced at the two men's clean but worn-out clothes and shook his head.

"We don't need those clothes anymore. We'll never lack nice clothes to wear while following Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

He Xinbao replied softly, "Thank you, sir!" He knew he wasn't this person's apprentice.

Soon, the waiter returned with the clothes for the two of them. He bought five sets for each of them: a little dress for the older sister and a scholar's robe for the younger brother.

"Would you like Master to help you wash?"

"No need, Master. My little brother is still young. I can help him wash. I'll wash after he's done."

"Aren't you the same age?"

"I'm the older sister, so I'm the adult, and the younger brother is still a child!"

Yang Hongbo found it hilarious to look at his apprentice, who acted like a little adult!

The bathroom had hot water available 24 hours a day, and He Xinbao's voice kept coming through: "Sister, taking a hot shower is so comfortable!"

"Sister, what's this fragrant stuff?"

"This is for washing your hair and body!"

"Wow, it's so smooth!"

…………

And so another day passed.
