Inside the small wooden cabin.
Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo stared at each other for a moment.
They were pondering who would take the bed and who would sleep on the floor.
"Forget it, forget it. You’re a rich young master, probably used to soft beds since childhood. You wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping on the floor. I’ll be generous and let you have the bed," Li Luo said, already preparing to lay out a makeshift bed on the floor.
"Uh, are you really planning to sleep there?" Ye Wangchuan looked at Li Luo with an expression that suggested he was staring at a fool.
Li Luo: "…"
"Ye Wangchuan, what do you mean? If you don’t want to sleep on the bed, I’ll take it!"
Ye Wangchuan shook his head calmly and said, "This is Chang’an."
Li Luo: "What do you mean?"
At that moment, Li Luo was utterly confused.
What kind of riddle was Ye Wangchuan speaking?
But in the next second, she got her answer.
Ye Wangchuan focused his mind, and a token emerged from his spatial ring.
The token was entirely black, with a white character "Ye" engraved on it.
Then, Ye Wangchuan tapped the token with his finger.
As he tapped, the white "Ye" character on the token began to emit a faint golden light.
Seeing the token glow, Ye Wangchuan spoke into it.
"Hey? Old man. Send the Longevity Palace over to me, along with fifty attendants."
"Yeah, that’s right. Bring it to Ling Mountain. Supplies? Just a little bit will do."
"Uh… there’s no need to send any elders up here."
After finishing his conversation, Ye Wangchuan tapped the token again, causing the light to fade.
Beside him.
Li Luo was completely baffled.
What was this thing? A phone?
"Ye Wangchuan, what is this token…"
"Hmm? This is the Ye Family token. It has the ability to communicate over long distances," Ye Wangchuan casually explained.
The two waited for a moment.
Rumble…
A faint tremor began to resonate from the foot of the mountain.
Rumble…!
The tremor grew louder and closer.
Li Luo turned her head in confusion, looking toward the source of the vibration.
In the next second, she was stunned.
On the steep cliff, there was a massive turtle!
The turtle was about five hundred meters long, and it looked incredibly heavy.
But that wasn’t the important part.
What mattered was that on the turtle’s shell stood a cluster of enormous and exquisite buildings.
The name of the structure was the Longevity Palace.
The buildings were covered by a special formation, making them stable even without a foundation.
"Ah! Wangchuan! Over here, go!"
An old man poked his head out from the turtle’s back, his face lighting up with joy when he saw Ye Wangchuan.
As he pointed, talismans on the turtle’s body began to glow.
Once the talismans lit up, the turtle’s speed increased dramatically, climbing the mountain faster than a monkey.
In no time, it arrived in front of Ye Wangchuan.
The old man jumped down and approached Ye Wangchuan with a smile.
"Wangchuan, I’ve brought the Longevity Palace and fifty attendants as you requested."
"Also, here’s a spatial ring with pills, one with food, one with clothes, and this one…"
The old man rambled on, placing a handful of spatial rings into Ye Wangchuan’s hands.
Li Luo, standing nearby: "?"
Why so many spatial rings?
Aren’t spatial rings supposed to be rare?
The entire Li Family only has five spatial rings!
As Li Luo was lost in thought, the old man suddenly turned to her and asked curiously,
"Wangchuan, who is this girl? She doesn’t look like your master."
"My master is sleeping inside. This is Li Luo from the Li Family, with a talent of 97th tier," Ye Wangchuan briefly introduced.
The old man pondered for a moment, then smiled warmly.
"I see. Hello, Li Luo. I’m the third elder of the Ye Family. Here, let me give you something good."
The third elder took out a stack of talismans and handed them to Li Luo, also giving a stack to Ye Wangchuan.
Li Luo examined the talismans and asked,
"What are these for?"
"Stick them on your body to reduce the rate of energy consumption. It’ll help you… cultivate better!" the third elder explained.
Ye Wangchuan: "With these talismans, practicing martial arts will be much easier. You won’t need to rest as often. Thank you, Third Elder."
Li Luo: "Oh, thank you!"
Both of them calmly stored the talismans away, showing no particular excitement.
The third elder sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Hmm… it seems I overestimated them.
These two don’t seem to know the proper way to use talismans.
Oh well, I can always draw more talismans anyway.
"Wangchuan, where should we place the Longevity Palace?"
"Anywhere."
After a while, the Longevity Palace was placed by the sunny lakeside.
Additionally, a simple wooden building was set up on the opposite side of the lake.
That building was for the fifty attendants to live in.
"That’s it for now. If you need anything else, just use the token to call me, and I’ll send it up," the third elder said.
"Got it."
After a brief exchange, the third elder jumped back onto the turtle and headed down the mountain.
"Wow, such a huge palace! Ye Wangchuan, you’re really…"
Li Luo gazed at the Longevity Palace standing on the open ground, feeling quite pleased.
At least she wouldn’t have to stay in the small wooden cabin anymore.
She was about to step inside the Longevity Palace to take a look.
Just then.
"Wait, if you want to live here, you’ll have to pay rent. Otherwise, you’re not allowed in," Ye Wangchuan said, lifting Li Luo by the collar.
Li Luo looked at Ye Wangchuan with an exasperated expression.
"We’re fellow disciples! How can you care about such trivial matters!" Li Luo protested.
"I do care. It’s three cultivation pills or one foundation-building pill per day," Ye Wangchuan stated his price.
"That much! I’ll just stay in the wooden cabin then," Li Luo immediately changed her mind upon hearing the cost.
"Fine," Ye Wangchuan didn’t push further.
As the two were arguing.
"Hmm… what are you two arguing about?"
Fang Que rubbed her eyes sleepily as she emerged from the wooden cabin.
As soon as she stepped out, she noticed the previously empty ground was now occupied by a cluster of buildings.
"Uh, where did these come from?" Fang Que asked, puzzled.
"I had the Ye Family send up the Longevity Palace," Ye Wangchuan explained.
"Oh, Ye Wangchuan, can I go inside to sleep?" Fang Que asked curiously.
"Of course," Ye Wangchuan nodded.
"Thank you. I’ll teach you a powerful technique tomorrow," Fang Que said gratefully.
Ye Wangchuan’s thoughts were simple.
This master was a hidden expert, and he might be able to learn some formidable techniques from her.
Therefore, it was necessary to gain her favor.
As for Li Luo…
He was trying to gain her favor to "extract gold," and that’s exactly what he was doing now.
With that in mind, Ye Wangchuan followed Fang Que as they leisurely walked into the palace.
Li Luo: "…"
Watching Ye Wangchuan and Fang Que enter the palace, Li Luo’s heart was unsettled.
She had assumed Fang Que wouldn’t care about the buildings and would continue sleeping in the wooden cabin.
In that case, staying in the cabin wouldn’t be so bad.
Once morning came, Ye Wangchuan would surely come out to learn techniques, and she could still benefit from it.
But if Fang Que chose to stay in the Longevity Palace, things would be different.
What if Fang Que secretly taught Ye Wangchuan a technique in the middle of the night, and she missed it? That would be disastrous!
So she had to get into the Longevity Palace too!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
