Qingyang Immortal Lord chuckled and said, "You're not dead. I forcibly confined your soul and spirit, putting your body into a state of rest. Don't worry, I've learned my lesson and added a small formation to your body. Even if you lie down for a hundred years, you'll still look youthful and incorruptible. Isn't that amazing? It's just a trivial trick, not worth mentioning. Don't thank me!"

Luo Wenyuan finally recovered from his shock and punched the smiling fox face of Qingyang Immortal Lord. However, he was in soul state now, and his fist went straight through Qingyang's body without even causing a gust of wind.

"Amazing! Thank you, grandma! Tell me, what did you do to Qingshan?"

"Haha, that little girl is under the care of an expert. Without my permission, no evil spirits can harm her. You should worry about yourself!"

Luo Wenyuan heard the meaning of Qingyang Xianjun's words and felt that he was not with Abe Kakuichi, so his anxious mood eased slightly.

"Boy, you have a vast Purple Palace and exceptional aptitude. Are you interested in seeking immortality? According to the levels of the cultivation world, you are currently at the eighth level of Qi training. If you accept me as your master, I will take you away from this murky and filthy Primal Realm and take you to the Tushita Realm, where spiritual energy is more abundant and more suitable for cultivation. There, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, all the cultivators have mortal offerings, and you can take whatever treasures and beauties you desire. How do you do it?"

Luo Wenyuan snorted coldly, sneering at the conditions offered by Qingyang Immortal Lord: "Not interested!"

Immortal Lord Qingyang still refused to give up and continued to lobby:

"Are you reluctant to part with your fiancée? Haha, that little girl's appearance is only average in the Tushita Realm. A young talent like you in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, you only need to beckon and a swarm of beauties will throw themselves at you. You won't have any trouble finding someone you like!"

"I just want Qingshan!"

Qingyang rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Well, since you are so infatuated, I will teach you both at the same time. Then, you two immortal lovers will ascend to the upper realm together. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing? But I have to say this upfront: if she changes her mind after seeing another male cultivator in the upper realm, you can't come to me for an explanation!"

Luo Wenyuan shook his head, as if remembering something, with a gentle and affectionate expression in his eyes:

"Based on my understanding of Qingshan, she will not learn immortal arts from you."

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

"Firstly, Qingshan's lifelong wish is to help the world, get promoted and become rich. Secondly, she cares most about her family and friends. She can't put aside her many ties and follow you to cultivate immortality. So she would rather stay in this smoky lower world as a happy mortal than go to the peaceful upper world to be a fairy in the lonely and lonely high place."

After hearing Luo Wenyuan's answer, Qingyang Immortal Lord lowered his head in thought, muttering:

"Be a happy mortal..."

After a long while, Qingyang raised his head and looked towards the place where Qingshan disappeared, with an expression that said, "As expected."

"Humph, she actually refused... I didn't expect you two to be so in tune with each other... Humph, this Immortal Lord wants to see if your love is truly stronger than iron!"

After saying that, Qingyang waved his sleeves, and Luo Wenyuan felt dizzy, with the wind whistling in his ears. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a small valley that looked like a paradise.

The valley was surrounded by emerald green bamboos. The wind blew through the leaves, making a humming sound like a leaf flute. In the middle of the valley were two bamboo houses, one large and one small. Qingyang Xianjun and Luo Wenyuan were standing in the open space in front of the bamboo houses.

"Where...where is this?"

Qingyang smiled slightly, sat on the stone bench in front of the bamboo house, swung his sleeves, held his chin with one hand, looked at Luo Wenyuan, and said proudly:

"This is the barrier created by this Immortal Lord. How about it? It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Wait for someone, and then I'll take you back to Lanhai Xianzong—!"
