Goodness gracious! I was so busy drinking that I completely forgot about the guide. But these two guys are really helpful; they actually came up with this way to remind me.

Below, Suiyi and Qingrong slowly opened their eyes, watching the golden guiding light descend from the sky, striking them and guiding them slowly away from the ground. Suiyi looked at the people below and waved goodbye.

"I'll be waiting for you up there!"

"good!"

Both of them were rather aloof and had practically no friends in this world, so there was no atmosphere of farewell. Instead, it was quite relaxed and pleasant. There was no way around it; in everyone's hearts, it was really good to have two less troublemakers. In an instant, the world became a better place!

In the eyes of others, Suiyi and Qingrong grew smaller and smaller until they finally became shooting stars.

"Alas!" The Grand Elder sighed, turned to the disciples beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, disperse! After seeing such a grand occasion, I believe you should go back and cultivate diligently, and strive to ascend to immortality like the Supreme Elder and your Uncle Master. Otherwise, it's just wishful thinking!"

"Yes!" One by one they turned around, went home, went to their mothers, and went about their business.

Suiyi and Qingrong emerged from the Reception Pool and stood still. They saw an old man with a white beard. They exchanged a glance, and Suiyi snorted and walked over with ill intent.

"Are you the messenger of guidance?" Sui Yi asked with a charming smile, poised and confident, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hmm!" The old man, puzzled, stroked his beard and nodded.

"So do you know that we've been waiting down there for two months to ascend?" Sui Yi laughed even more happily.

"Uh... this... I really don't know."

Sui Yi opened her eyes wide and stared at him intently, waiting for his explanation.

"I only took over as the guide a few days ago. The previous one committed a crime and was fired. I was just a temporary replacement, so I don't know anything about your affairs."

"Oh? Is that so? Hmph, you'd better tell the truth, or you'll be sorry." Sui Yi clenched her fist, threatening the old man.

"Ningning, let's go sit over there!" Qingrong looked around and saw a pavilion on one side, and said to Suiyi.

“Okay!” Sui Yi nodded, looking at the old man, “Would you like to come in and sit down? We have something we need to ask you.”

“Alright!” The old man nodded and followed Suiyi into the pavilion, embodying the principle of “I do not move if the enemy does not move, and I counter the enemy’s moves.”

The pavilion was built of mahogany, with exquisite carvings on the pillars around it. It had red glazed tiles, and in the middle were four jade stools and a jade round table, on which was a set of wine utensils. There was about half a wine cup in one of the cups, indicating that the old man had just been leisurely sipping wine.

Sui Yi unceremoniously picked up two cups, grabbed the wine pot, and poured wine into them. A rich and mellow aroma wafted up. Sui Yi took a sip, opened her eyes, and said, "Not bad, good wine." After saying that, she sat down and looked at the other two.

Since Qingrong didn't intend to speak, the question fell to Suiyi.

"The Buddha said that it takes hundreds of glances in a past life to brush shoulders in this life. The fact that we can sit together and enjoy wine proves that we have a deep connection. As a newcomer, I would like to offer a toast to the envoy." Sui Yi raised her wine cup, looked at the old man, and spoke in a clear and melodious voice.

"Alright!" The old man readily agreed. After the two clinked glasses, they drank it all in one gulp, and Sui Yi poured them two more glasses.

"What do you want to know?" the old man asked, looking at the two of them.

"The situation in this world, such as the various forces and cultivation methods."

"Alright! Since you're a pleasing sight, I'll tell you everything I know! This place is called the Upper Immortal Realm by the people below. Besides those who ascended, there are also native inhabitants in this world. I also ascended from below. As far as I know, the cultivation levels here are Mortal Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Venerable, Heavenly Venerable, and Supreme. Each realm is further divided into ten levels. You newcomers need to convert your spiritual energy into immortal energy, the so-called cultivation. Also, the forces here are intricately complex. On the surface, there's the conflict between gods and demons, the God Realm, and the Demon Realm. The God Realm is further divided into one sect, two pavilions, three sects, and four great families. The four great families have close ties with the sects. Families provide talent to sects, and sects cultivate their members. In short, it's very complicated." He finished his drink in one gulp and continued.

...

Although the old man spoke vaguely, these forces were irrelevant to him and he didn't need to pay special attention to them.

"I'd like to ask if there's a person named Feng Yingchen here, and a woman named Lu Zhiyan."

When Qingrong heard Suiyi ask the question that had been on her mind, she put down her wine glass and listened quietly.

"If you were asking about others, I might not know, but if you're talking about these two, their names are legendary. Take Feng Yingchen, for example. He's an extremely talented individual, consistently ranking first in the top sect's assessments. His strength has surpassed some of the older guys. However, his downsides are that he's too handsome and doesn't get close to women, breaking countless women's hearts. He's cold and ruthless, always wearing a cold face, and has a strange quirk—he likes to draw faceless figures. As for Lu Zhiyan, she's also a peculiar character. She's already quite old, yet she's still acting crazy and irresponsible. Now, her family is pressuring her to get married! The wedding is tomorrow, and I wonder what will happen at the banquet. Hmm? How do you know about these two so soon after you arrived?" The old man asked, puzzled.

"We are old friends."

"Oh! That's right, both of them have been to the lower realm." The old man recalled the calamity many years ago, in which many promising talents were sent to the lower realm for refuge by their families or sects, so it's not surprising that they knew some people.
