The story begins with the bride marrying off her daughter, and the woman, at the age of one hundred,

That night, the air was cool and still.

Chang Shou sat cross-legged by the window of the guest room, skillfully practicing the "Water Moon Technique".

Under the influence of magic, numerous beams of pure white moonlight converged, streamed through the window, and enveloped him like a thin veil.

The light and shadow are hazy, like a dream.

In a daze, it seemed as if a moon reflected in water turned into smoke, which he swallowed through his mouth and nose. Then, Changshou skillfully circulated the Qi-absorbing technique to refine the energy and digest what he had gained.

The magical power within the lower dantian gradually increased.

Vitality gradually rises in all parts of the body.

Half an hour later, the cultivation ended.

As the moonlight faded, Chang Shou exhaled a breath of stale air, opened his eyes, got up and walked to the window, looked up at the shimmering water, stared at the moon's reflection, and stroked his beard in thought.

I never expected that my visit to my granddaughter would bring me such unexpected joy.

He had long since mastered the Water Moon Technique.

This is why Changshou can collect moonlight at night with twice the efficiency.

I thought it was good enough.

Unexpectedly, during this visit to the Dragon Palace, I discovered that performing this technique underwater is more efficient than performing it on the surface of the water.

"This Qinghe has truly become my blessed land!"

It was the Qinghe Dragon King who saved him from danger.

It was the Qinghe Dragon King who brought him into contact with cultivation.

This is the third time, including this one.

However, things won't happen more than three times, and it's estimated that the Qinghe Dragon Palace won't be able to help him anymore in the future.

Although it's a pity, Changshou is not a cause for distress.

Good fortune is an accident.

It's normal to lack good fortune.

Only by putting your mind at ease can you find lasting peace and happiness.

There is now hope for further advancement in the Water Moon Technique.

Chang Shou was in a good mood, humming a little Taoist tune, and lay on the soft bed, quickly falling asleep.

In his dream, he met Jiang Ziya again and received his guidance.

For someone like Jiang Ziya, who had cultivated himself to the pinnacle of ghost immortality, there was no difference between Pei County and the Red County.

If you're going to enter a dream, you will still enter a dream.

The teachings will continue to be taught.

Opportunities are hard to come by.

Chang Shou also seized the opportunity to ask for advice.

One taught with dedication, and the other sincerely sought knowledge; the atmosphere between them was harmonious and joyful.

The next morning.

Chang Shou got up and began to cultivate.

Afterwards, a familiar spirit walked in, pushed open the door, and prepared washing utensils and breakfast for Changshou.

It was entirely blue, with three hairs on its head and a pair of bright, piercing eyes; it was none other than Hanba.

Yesterday, he was assigned to serve Changshou.

Upon seeing his former master, Hanba burst into tears, clinging to Changshou's leg and weeping bitterly, tears streaming down his face.

This gave Chang Shou a headache.

At first, he tried to persuade the boy gently, but seeing that the more he tried to persuade him, the harder the boy cried, Changshou stopped indulging him and directly scolded him sternly.

This stopped Hanba's crying.

I stayed at the Qingchi Dragon Palace for three days.

Changshou took his leave with the monkey.

Before leaving, he left a few Qi-replenishing pills for his granddaughter and a bottle of spirit-connecting pills for Hanba.

I knew I was coming back.

Changshou made preparations before he went to see the Patriarch.

In addition to the old medicines that have been stored for many years, we also have some miracle cures.

The old medicine was meant for the first two granddaughters. They were just ordinary people; as the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Giving them the elixir would only harm them.

The elixir was for my granddaughter to help her with her cultivation.

The Spiritual Elixir was what he had obtained over the past two years by helping fellow Daoist Ruchang take care of his spiritual plants. Although it wasn't much, just one bottle per season with ten pills per bottle, it was a steady stream of income.

The bottle of elixirs in Chang Shou's hand was taken from the cultivation resources of the round-faced fat chicken and the two fox spirits; it was definitely not some personal hoarding that he had embezzled.

This bottle of Spirit Pills contains only five pills, enough to complete my connection with Hanba.

Under Chang'e's reluctant gaze, Chang Shou and the monkey activated the teleportation talisman, leaving Qinghe and Chixian, heading straight for their eldest granddaughter's home.

Xiapi.

It is two or three hundred miles away from the land of China.

Originating in the Xia and Shang dynasties, it was once the capital of the Xiapi Kingdom. This place was relatively more prosperous than Chixian and Peixian, and the county town was bustling with traffic and people.

Invisible ripples spread through the space.

A man and a monkey appeared in a deserted, secluded alley in the county town.

One had white hair and beard, wore a gray robe, held a cane, and had a kind face; the other had golden hair, wore a Taoist robe, was five feet tall, and was full of energy.

They were Chang Shou and Sun Wukong.

Emerging from the quiet alley and gazing at the bustling market, Sun Wukong peered out, a hint of reminiscence on his face as he recalled his past experiences wandering the streets. Chang Shou then performed a hand seal, following the directions given by their bloodline, to find the route to his eldest granddaughter's house.

When Changshou left Qinghe Dragon Palace, he learned the address of his eldest granddaughter's new home from his youngest granddaughter.

Yes, that's the new address.

The eldest granddaughter was originally married into a Cui family in the territory of Chixian County.

The eldest granddaughter's husband was capable, eloquent, and quick-witted. He worked as a traveling merchant, and after accumulating some wealth, he started doing reselling, traveling to various places.

Over time, the Cui family gradually prospered.

The eldest granddaughter's husband had a long-term vision; he sent his son to school to learn to read and write.

Although he later died of illness, he left behind a relatively wealthy family fortune.

Later, the eldest granddaughter's son grew up. This boy, relying on his knowledge, took charge of the Cui family. After making a few mistakes, he learned to be smart and the family business grew bigger and bigger.

They can't compare to those who have been wealthy for many years.

It may not be as good as some, but it's better than others.

Three years ago, the eldest granddaughter's eldest grandson got an opportunity and was noticed by a famous Legalist master who came to China to give lectures, and was taken in as a disciple.

The Cui family couldn't bear to part with their children, so they moved with them and settled in Xiapi.

Wandering through the streets and alleys.

The man and the monkey soon stopped in front of a house.

Green bricks and tiles, clean and tidy in front of the door.

Although it is not as grand as the Qinghe Dragon Palace, it is still a level above the average family in the county.

Go up and knock on the door, then wait for someone to open it.

Chang Shou explained his identity and purpose, and soon a series of footsteps sounded.

A neatly dressed and sprightly old woman emerged, accompanied by her family. She was Chang Ping, Chang Shou's eldest granddaughter.

"Father!"

"Big girl!"

---

Grandparents and grandchildren, having not seen each other for many years, were overcome with emotion.

There are endless things to say and countless stories to tell.

Once their emotions had calmed down a bit, the family was in harmony and enjoyed a happy reunion dinner.

Of course, upon learning that Changshou had become an immortal and that the monkey beside him also possessed great abilities, the Cui family was overjoyed and became even more enthusiastic.

Changshou stayed at her second granddaughter's house for seven days because of her family's special circumstances.

He plans to stay at his eldest granddaughter's house for three days, treating her the same as his youngest granddaughter.

Monkeys just can't stay still.

The next day, Changshou took him for a stroll.

On the third day, the monkey began to complain about the crowds and restrictive rules in the county town, and insisted on going to the suburbs and mountains to play and be more unrestrained.

Chang Shou then went for a walk in the suburbs with him.

The eldest granddaughter's family wanted to come along as they had the day before, but Changshou refused.

He was worried that the monkeys wouldn't be able to play freely or run around if there were too many people around. This was partly because his eldest granddaughter was too old and had difficulty walking, and partly because he was afraid the monkeys wouldn't be able to play freely or run around if there were too many people around.

Changshou is our ancestor.

His attitude was firm, and the Cui family had no choice but to comply.

After leaving the county town, we headed straight for the outskirts.

With fewer people and more vegetation, the environment became more tranquil and serene.

Changshou was not as energetic as the monkey. After playing around for a while, he let the monkey go into the mountains to play by itself, while he rested by a bridge.

Ancient trees flourished along the bridge, casting large patches of shade.

The water flows gently under the bridge, and the stream gurgles and splashes.

Chang Shou leaned against a blue stone and closed his eyes to rest.

A moment later, his ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly heard footsteps. He opened his eyes, looked into the distance, and saw a figure approaching.
