"Elder, do you know the whereabouts of Senior Xiao?"

Elder Song asked eagerly.

He felt that the value Xiao Yan could bring might even surpass that of Zhenyuan.

After all, who wouldn't want a healthy and strong physique?

Who wouldn't want to be free from all illnesses and live a long life?

"I do not know!"

Zhenyuan lightly shook his head and said, "The last time the old Taoist saw him was in ancient times."

"Since then, I have not seen him again, nor do I know where he has been dormant."

"The old Taoist originally planned to take young friend Qingfeng to search for this old friend after some time."

"After all, I promised Qingfeng to help him cure his terminal illness..."

Elder Song nodded slightly, knowing that the matters concerning the Pill cooperation at least had to wait until Zhenyuan found Xiao Yan.

"Does anyone else have any other questions?"

Zhenyuan's gaze swept across the faces of a few people one by one.

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

The questions they wanted to know had mostly been answered by Zhenyuan.

This meeting at the Seeking Immortality Temple lasted from morning until noon.

Overall, it was a mix of joy and sorrow.

Especially for the three Sect Leaders from Jingming Tao, Louguan Taoism, and Taiyi Dao, who were extremely disappointed.

To acquire the Immortal Cultivation Technique, they used their acting skills to the fullest extent.

Unfortunately, just a so-called "Immortal Root" completely blocked their hopes of stepping into cultivation.

Although Zhenyuan said it could be planted, the requirements were too many and the difficulty too high.

Secondly, once the official level takes over, what role would they have?

Although the three of them harbored unwillingness, they were helpless.

On the other hand, Elder Song, representing the official level, was quite satisfied with this trip.

Although he did not obtain the miraculous Immortal Elixir, he learned about the relevant information.

Only when Xiao Yan appears can they further discuss cooperation matters.

As for Zhenyuan's side, they also need to maintain the relationship.

Regarding cooperation...

He believed that the "Root Planting Technique" would interest many high-level officials.

But as for how to cooperate specifically, that was not for him to decide.

"In that case, the old Taoist will not keep you any longer."

Zhenyuan gently waved his sleeve to signal goodbye.

"Master, Elder Song, three Martial Uncles, please follow me!"

Lu Heng stepped forward with a smile.

"Elder, we shall take our leave!"

Elder Song and the others stood up, ready to leave.

But at this moment, Zhenyuan suddenly spoke: "Young friends, the Heavenly Dao changes, and the Spiritual Qi revives, do not underestimate it!"

The few people looked at each other upon hearing this.

There was a hint of doubt in everyone's eyes, obviously a bit puzzled.

"After the Spiritual Qi revives, the world changes greatly; there may be spiritual creatures born, or demonic cultivators awakened."

"Be cautious in all things. If you encounter difficulties, feel free to visit the Seeking Immortality Temple to find the old Taoist..."

Zhenyuan solemnly reminded.

"Thank you, Elder, for the advice!"

Xuan Cheng respectfully bowed to express gratitude.

The others followed suit, bowing in thanks.

At this moment, Zhenyuan's image in their hearts grew even larger.

Kind and benevolent, selfless, willing to help others...

This was truly a high cultivator!

Lu Heng watched, secretly pleased with himself.

It seemed the "Zhenyuan" he had crafted was quite convincing.

He planned to find time to do some small things to prove "Zhenyuan's" correctness.

Only if both parties needed each other could they maintain a good cooperative relationship!

He led his surrogate master and others out of the Seeking Immortality Temple.

In front of the temple, Director Li and others were still waiting.

Lu Heng glanced at Director Li, whose face was shiny from the sun, wondering why this member of the atmosphere group hadn't gone in earlier.

Could it be that he was scared by Xuan Tong and Xuanxin's encounter?

By the way, where did Xuan Tong and Xuanxin go?

He looked around but did not see the two.

While he was wondering, Xuan Cheng asked, "Director Li, where have my two junior brothers gone?"

"I called emergency services and had a helicopter take them to the hospital."

Director Li replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Li."

Xuan Cheng nodded in thanks.

"It's nothing!"

Director Li quickly walked over to Elder Song, wanting to inquire about the meeting with Zhenyuan.

"We'll talk about it later!"

Elder Song whispered, then instructed the Religious Affairs Bureau staff to pack up and prepare to return.

"Master, I'll go say a word to the elder, then return with you."

Lu Heng walked to his surrogate master's side and whispered.

"Okay!"

Xuan Cheng nodded in agreement.

"Brother, hurry up!"

"It's already noon, I'm starving!"

Previously not having much presence, Qingyue was now pouting, with a look of despair.

"Alright."

Lu Heng playfully pinched her cheek.

Qingyue opened her mouth to bite, but he quickly withdrew his hand, chuckling as he ran back to the Seeking Immortality Temple, leaving Qingyue stomping her feet in frustration.

Upon returning to the guest room, "Zhenyuan" was still seated there.

"Time to go home!"

Lu Heng patted Zhenyuan's shoulder.

In an instant, Zhenyuan turned into a black shadow and merged into Lu Heng's silhouette.

This Shadow Beast was indeed impressive!

It could transform into all kinds of shapes according to his imagination and grew rapidly.

After hatching, it reached its growth phase in just ten days, capable of mimicking human or animal voices.

It could even mimic various clothes, like youthful JK outfits, black lace OL outfits, white lace maid outfits, and many more.

Of course, the Shadow Beast was not without flaws.

Its shortcomings were also severe.

Its hard power was too weak!

Although the Shadow Beast could imitate all things, it only had their appearance, not the corresponding power.

For example, the Shadow Beast could transform into Lu Heng's appearance, but it could not mimic his Fifth-Layer Qi Refining cultivation, only an empty shell.

Even the Flash Talisman and Purification Talisman earlier were activated by Lu Heng's own True Qi.

Fortunately, at this stage, there was no need for the Shadow Beast to fight.

It just needed to be a good costume.

In some ways, it seemed to Lu Heng that the Shadow Beast was akin to a fox spirit, surviving on its exterior.

When he exited the Seeking Immortality Temple again, Elder Song and Director Li had already left.

According to Qingyue, Director Li had called for another helicopter.

The reason being, of course, that they did not wish to go back on foot after achieving their goals.

Qingyue was quite envious.

As for the three Sect Leaders, they had not left together but were speaking with his surrogate master.

This surprised Lu Heng.

He didn't know what scheme these three hypocrites were up to.

But one thing was sure, it probably wasn't anything good.

He hoped that his fail-safes left at the Seeking Immortality Temple would not be triggered, otherwise, it would be quite the show...
