If Gou Cheng becomes the Dao Ancestor, the monkey will come to become his disciple.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you home?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from outside the door.

"Huh, who's looking for me?"

Jiang Chuan was puzzled, but he still opened the door. When he saw the person outside, he was a little surprised. It really was an acquaintance.

But why would he come looking for me?

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, Old Wang stroked his white beard, adopting a friendly demeanor, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Chuan, you moved without even telling me! It's been so hard for this old man to find you!"

Jiang Chuan smiled awkwardly. He had left immediately after noticing someone spying on him at the old house, and had been hiding in the fields ever since, never returning to the old house or greeting his neighbors...

"Uncle Wang, what's going on here?"

Jiang Chuan glanced at the plump and beautiful middle-aged woman behind Old Man Wang and already had a guess in his mind.

Could it be that she's chasing after him to arrange a blind date?

as predicted,

Old Wang grinned and introduced, "Haha, Xiao Chuan, this is my niece, Wang Yuyan. I've mentioned her to you before."

"...Yuyan, this is the Fellow Daoist Jiangchuan I told you about. He is well-versed in poetry and literature, exceptionally talented, and a steady, honest, and capable person..."

The voluptuous beauty glanced at Jiang Chuan's unkempt and disheveled appearance, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes before quickly returning to normal. She gracefully curtsied, her robe half-open, revealing glimpses of her towering, snow-capped peaks, exuding a mature and alluring charm.

"Yuyan greets Fellow Daoist Jiang!"

"I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Jiang's talent, and seeing him today, I can see that his talent truly surpasses his reputation..."

Jiang Chuan rubbed his hands awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed by such a direct compliment from a voluptuous and sexy woman.

"Ahem, Fairy Wang is just as radiant!"

Old Wang stroked his beard, his eyes flickering slightly. "Xiao Chuan, I wasn't lying to you, was I? What do you think of my niece?"

Jiang Chuan was speechless. Was the other party still unwilling to give up?

They actually came to our door.

It must be said that Wang Yuyan's figure and appearance were quite good, with a curvaceous figure and a full, rounded body, making her a real weapon in bed. In her previous life, she would have received a dowry of at least 38.8 yuan, or a package deal of 298 yuan...

But he's a man with a cheat code. So what if Wang Yuyan, an older single woman, is she? Even Lin Zhiwei from the Biyang Immortal Sect is no match for him.

Women will only slow him down!

"Uncle Wang, Fairy Wang, as I said before, my life's ambition is to pursue immortality, and I have no desire for romantic relationships. Please forgive me!" Jiang Chuan declined as tactfully as possible.

Before Old Man Wang could say anything, Wang Yuyan immediately bristled. She hadn't expected that Jiang Chuan would have the audacity to refuse her, even after she had dressed up so elegantly and come in person. Her beautiful eyes glared angrily, her gaze filled with hostility.

"Jiang Chuan, what right do you have to reject me??"

"In what way am I, Wang Yuyan, unworthy of you?"

"Don't you even look at yourself?"

A cold glint flashed in Old Wang's eyes, and he quickly stopped Wang Yuyan, saying sternly:

"Yuyan, how can you talk like that? Apologize to Xiaochuan right now!"

"Hmph!" Wang Yuyan snorted, and the two Xiong sisters, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, were so angry that they were about to fight. They reluctantly said "I'm sorry" to Jiang Chuan.

Old Wang said:

"...Xiao Chuan, I've spoiled this girl since she was little. She speaks her mind without thinking, so don't take it to heart."

"Hehe, it's nothing!"

Jiang Chuan waved his hand dismissively. He had seen all sorts of fairies in his past life, and Wang Yuyan, a "true fairy," was considered to have a good personality.

Old Wang's eyes darted around, subtly glancing at Jiang Chuan's cultivation level. His heart skipped a beat, and he almost blurted out...

Qi Refining Level 3?

Jiang Chuan looked at Old Man Wang with a puzzled expression.

"Uncle Wang?"

Old Wang snapped out of his daze, suppressed his shock, and pretended to be nonchalant.

"Xiao Chuan, besides introducing Yu Yan to you, there's another matter I've come to discuss with you today, which concerns your parents."

Jiang Chuan's expression changed, and feigning anxiety, he quickly spoke:

"My parents? Uncle Wang, please tell me."

Old Wang sighed and said, "...Some time ago, I overheard someone talking about how someone had seen your parents a few days ago on the southwestern edge of Yunmeng Mountain... I think your parents may not have perished; they might be trapped somewhere..."

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly, instinctively sensing that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Were the original parents really trapped?

Yunmeng Mountain is not far from Taihu Market and is connected to Taihu Lake. It is a mountain range that stretches for tens of thousands of miles and contains many rare treasures, spiritual herbs and minerals. It is also home to many demonic beasts. Many independent cultivators from the market often come here to collect spiritual herbs and hunt demonic beasts...

However, according to the original owner's memories, the original owner's parents were definitely dead.

Despite his doubts, Jiang Chuan decided to continue playing the role of "filial son," his eyes reddening as he wore an expression of mixed surprise and joy.

"Uncle Wang, really?"

"Are my parents really not dead, but still alive?"

Old Wang nodded solemnly.

"Yes, the source is very reliable, which is the main reason I came to find you."

Jiang Chuan bowed solemnly: "Thank you for informing me, Uncle Wang. I will certainly repay you handsomely!"

Old Man Wang helped Jiang Chuan up and said, "Little Chuan, I'm quite familiar with the Yunmeng Mountains. I'll go with you to find your parents."

Wang Yuyan's expression suddenly changed. She opened her mouth, about to say something, when she met Old Man Wang's serious gaze.

She understood.

That meant she shouldn't talk too much...

If Jiang Chuan were truly the original owner of this body, he might have been moved by the news that his parents were still alive and would have tried every means to rescue them.

But he isn't!

Driven by a desire for immortality, he instinctively didn't want to take any risks, especially since he was currently just a mere Qi Refining Level 3 ant.

If you are strong enough, you might even be able to pull a dead person out of the river of time.

Jiang Chuan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Uncle, this is a matter of great importance. Please allow me to make some preparations."

Old Wang nodded. "Alright, I live on Emerald Street. Come find me when you've made up your mind."

"Yes, Uncle Wang!"

"Xiao Chuan, this old man still has to go set up his stall, so I won't bother you any longer." After saying that, Old Man Wang gave Wang Yuyan a look.

"Yuyan, let's go!"

……

After the two left the spirit field,

Wang Yuyan could no longer hold back and asked:

"Hmph... Old man, didn't we agree before that we'd just use the [Bewitching Powder] to subdue this kid, then pretend it was him assaulting me? Why did you change your mind at the last minute?"

Old Wang's gaze was deep and thoughtful, and his tone was solemn yet excited as he replied:

"He's already at the third level of Qi Refining!"

Wang Yuyan exclaimed in shock, "What?! Level three of Qi Refining? Didn't you say he just reached level one? You didn't see wrong, did you?"

Old Wang shook his head: "I'm not mistaken, he has indeed reached the third level of Qi Refining."

"I am at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and you are at the third level. Even with the Bewitching Powder, we may not be able to take him down safely. If we happen to alert the enforcers of the Spirit Field, we will die even if we succeed."

Wang Yuyan frowned, puzzled, and asked, "But how could his cultivation level increase so quickly? Didn't you say he was only nineteen years old?"

"To break through from the first level of Qi Refining to the third level in less than a year, even taking pills every day wouldn't be possible."

"Could it be that he has cultivated demonic techniques?"

Old Wang shook his head, a strong longing flashing in his eyes:

"Not necessarily, but I suspect this kid has some kind of treasure on him."

"Besides spirit stones, are there any treasures that can accelerate cultivation?" Wang Yuyan's eyes revealed intense greed.

She was already over forty, but only at the third level of Qi Refining, with no hope of reaching Foundation Establishment in this lifetime. However, if she had a treasure that could accelerate her cultivation, things might change.

Perhaps one can strive for a lifetime of immortality...

Old Wang nodded.

"It's possible. This kid is no ordinary person."

"Therefore, we must lure him out of the market."
