The snowflakes fell silently, melting before they even hit the ground. As the temperature in the honey-filled world dropped, the snow settled on the leaves.

The cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock stared blankly at the white crystals, lost in thought.

White steam rises from the hot spring pool.

"Visualize the black mist?" Yaochi asked, puzzled.

Yang Qinglan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is it to become stronger, or to eliminate the ancient god's gaze?"

“Both,” Li Changzhou replied. “Don’t worry, according to my deduction, if the visualization is successful, the black mist can absorb the abilities and characteristics of the Chaos Yang Serpent and the Giant Kun, and the three of us can still cultivate as before.”

Yang Qinglan left his embrace, turned to look at him, and asked, "Is there any danger?"

“Perhaps,” Li Changzhou said in a relaxed tone.

"What about risk prevention measures?" Yaochi swam over.

Li Qianxia appeared directly behind Li Changzhou, resting her chin on his shoulder like a snake.

All three of them were staring at him.

Every man has his flaws, and despite the seriousness of the scene, Li Changzhou was still captivated by the vast expanse of white before him.

"You don't look like it either." Yaochi rolled her eyes at him. "Simply visualizing the black mist doesn't require dispersing your power. Did you choose to give up the Yin-Yang Twin Serpents and the Giant Kun in order to clear your current abilities and avoid being spied on by the ancient gods?"

[This is one reason. In addition, dispersing the Yin-Yang Twin Serpents and the Giant Kun will allow the Black Mist you will focus on to grow stronger quickly, restoring your mana in a short time.]

Li Changzhou followed suit and repeated Guanyin's explanation.

"How long will it take to fully recover?" Yang Qinglan asked.

[Six Months]

"Six months," Li Changzhou said.

Yang Qinglan frowned slightly.

Li Changzhou also felt that this time was too long. He had cultivated to the level of a human immortal in eight months, but the recovery process alone would take half a year!

[The six months figure is based on the premise that you haven't entered the value game and are alone. If the black mist can truly absorb the characteristics and abilities of the 'Yang Serpent' and the 'Giant Kun,' then cultivating with Yang Qinglan and your sister will only require two months.]

“If the black mist can devour the Yang Serpent and the Giant Kun, and we continue with the previous cultivation method, it will only take two months,” Li Changzhou added.

This timing is barely acceptable.

After all, he was a human immortal, whose magical power was enough to stir up the universe and had the ability to overturn heaven and earth. He could recover his strength in two months. Compared to the power and lifespan of a human immortal, it was really nothing.

Normally, house renovations take more than two months, and ventilation to remove formaldehyde takes even longer than three months.

“I have a suggestion,” Yaochi said, her snow-white arms supporting her chest with one and her chin with the other. “Just like how Changzhou was searching for tools to deal with the ancient gods in various places, we can also find tools that can help with cultivation. When Aferona became a human immortal, the Special Operations Bureau obtained the Nine Heavens Thunder Liquid, and it took us less than two months to slowly recover.”

“Yes, yes, I agree with Sister Yao.” Li Qianxia nodded—her chin resting on Li Changzhou’s shoulder, nodding was like giving him a shoulder massage.

“You’ve thought of everything more thoroughly than I have,” Yang Qinglan said.

"It's just that you habitually don't want to interact with people, and you subconsciously avoid these things."

“I don’t like owing favors either,” Li Changzhou said.

Yaochi looked over and smiled:

"Not only do you need someone to take care of your bodily functions like defecating, urinating, and spitting, but your mind is also unclear—if you discontinue your cultivation and start over, will your human strength become weaker? This information is enough for you to get two more S-grade items, or even more."

"There's also the 'Promotion Method,' which I don't know if it will work. I originally wanted to try it myself, so I didn't report it to the Special Operations Bureau. Now I can trade it all for items that can speed up cultivation, preferably S-rank!"

Li Qianxia lifted her chin off her brother's shoulder and clapped enthusiastically!

Even Li Changzhou thought Yaochi was amazing, let alone Yang Qinglan who couldn't bargain.

Without further ado, the four immediately assigned tasks to Li Changzhou's efforts to rebuild his martial arts skills.

Yaochi went to the Special Operations Bureau to negotiate with them and, incidentally, instructed her subordinates to purchase items that could increase cultivation speed at a high price.

Li Qianxia went to find Aferona, also to find items, or the skills on the identity card would also work;

Yang Qinglan stayed in the Honey Pot World and refined a large number of pills that were effective for cultivators below the Human Immortal level.

Li Changzhou waited for Yaochi and Li Qianxia to return in the courtyard along the river, while also communicating with Guanyin.

He wanted to confirm whether Guanyin was really Guanyin.

[Even Buddha has left Earth, so why do Bodhisattvas remain?]

Bai Suzhen knew that becoming an immortal meant certain death, yet she still went to Lin'an and visited the Broken Bridge on West Lake.

When she mentioned Bai Suzhen and the saying "becoming an immortal inevitably means death," Li Changzhou vaguely believed that she was the real Guanyin. He had only told her the results of the "battle between Buddhism and Taoism" without going into details about Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

"Is your opportunity to attain Buddhahood on Earth?" he asked again.

Not 'on Earth,' but 'staying,' and...

She paused, then said:

When the immortals and Buddhas departed, they took many mountains, rivers, and lives with them. The Earth today is not even as vast as one continent it once was. This world... in my eyes, is like a crippled child abandoned by its parents. How could I bear to leave? I was born here, became a Bodhisattva here, and have spent countless years here.

Children abandoned by their parents?

If it were Li Qianxia, ​​she would definitely believe Guanyin completely because of empathy, but Li Changzhou, on the contrary, abandoned all his previous belief because of 'empathy'.

It is highly likely that the other party's actions were intended to evoke Li Changzhou's empathy.
