The sudden revelation of the Longevity Pill made Pei Xiu desperate. This is the thing that his father needs the most. Though it was unknown if this pill can heal his fathers hidden wounds, at the very least it would allow him to live for a hundred years more. Even for cultivators this is a short duration to live, it can give him a chance to complete what he needs to do or find another opportunity to regain his lost cultivation realm. After all, anything is possible as long as he is alive.

Pei Xiu said, "I promise to come back tomorrow. We will do our best!"

"Then... you must keep your promise," said Yue Xuexia as she pushed one of the small boxes in the direction of Pei Xiu.

Seeing Pei Xiu pick it up, the Moon Goddess said another thing.

She added, "You must keep your word. Lying to me never had a good ending."

The Moon Goddess met the eyes of Pei Xiu and only he noticed that within those ordinary light brown eyes flashing with silver shade that made the latter tremble unconsciously. It was at this moment that the small box in Pei Xiu’s hands felt heavier now. He even failed to respond.

Seeing them dumbfounded, Yue Xuexia once again stood up and took away the last small box and said, "I have something to do. Please excuse me."

"I hope to see you tomorrow again," said the Moon Goddess as she took his leave with the information about the Lightning Ancient God’s Abode. "Feel free to stay as you wish. If you want to roam around the mansion as the maids to guide you around as there are some traps" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The three guests were stunned as they didn’t know if they should leave right away but the owner of the house allowed them to stay in a mansion. Since Pei Xiu needs to calm down, he took this permission to calm down. He kept on looking at the small box in his hand and the golden pill in it. He feels like he is dreaming yet the reality is before him.

What they had been looking for all these years from all over the Core and Inner Haven, who would have expected that he can find it at the outskirts of the Immortal World which is not even included in the territory of the three havens. Moreover it was given by someone too young and whose background is not only mysterious but also seemingly big.

The moment this longevity pill was taken out and was easily given to him made Pei Xiu realize things clearly. First, this woman is definitely connected to the Regal Lei Clan. Not only is she capable of using the Lightning and Thunder Technique or she is also protective over them. After all, who would be happy to learn that someone knows your family’s genealogy list.

"Master, what should we do?"

"We can’t definitely lie to her. I had a bad feeling that something bad would happen if I lied to her. I mean it!"

"I am not going to lie. But I need something convincing to have the elders be willing to help us again in this divination," said Pei Xiu.

"You mean to give rewards to the elders. We have the right."

"What are you talking about?"

"That Healing Pill. There seems to be a lot of it in each jar and Miss Yuelei had given us a few jars. These pills are definitely something to die for. Moreover, how many of our clan members suffered backlashes that ordinary pills and medicines can’t heal. These pills are definitely high purity healing pills. The kind that didn’t have side effects!"

The words of Pei Xiu’s subordinate seems to have given him an idea. Thinking this way, this is indeed a good way to bribe the elders. Now that he had an idea what to do when he came back to the tower, he had calmed down.

Pei Xiu said, "Alright. Now that I know what to do. Let’s see, check out the children and take our leave. After all, we also brought some gifts for them."

"Then esteemed guests, please follow this maid. I will guide you to the backyard where the young masters and young misses are playing," The puppet maid said.

Pei Xue and his subordinates followed the maid towards the backyard. When they arrived at the area, they were stunned by the appearance that welcomed them. There are at least two sentient lotus flowers playing on the water. One blue and one white with the blue one being the largest. On the flower there is another young girl holding a little boy named Yue Zhiya. They planned to use their siblings’ vines as slides with the pond welcoming them at the end.

"These children knew how to have fun!"

"That looks fun indeed."

Only Pei Xiu was dumbfounded, staring at the huge pond where the children were playing. Immortal Mountain Dew, this is an expensive ingredient for making some pills and these children were just using it as a swimming pool. Then he recalled that box of pastries he had asked the chefs to make for him.

"Little ones~ look at what uncle brought for you as a gift!"

"What is it, old man? You sound like a bad guy right now. Don’t tell me you wanted to sell us? Mom will beat you up! Hmp!" The Sentient Purple Lightning Lotus flower spirit, Yue Hualei said.

Pei Xiu chuckled and said, "Uncle is not going to do that. It’s just that... can uncle have some water from your little swimming pool?"

"Uncle, you can’t drink this pool water," said Yue Huashui who had returned to his human form while keeping his real form at the same time. "We’ve been bathing here for days already."

Pei Xiu’s lips twitched at these words and said, "Uncle is not going to drink it."

"Then okay. Please take some then..." Yue Huashui said.

As for the box of sweets in his hand, it had long been taken by Yue Zhiya which he had shared to his siblings. Even the napping Yue Huajin at his golden crib and was also hugging the golden egg Yue Xuexia got from her latest sign in. The egg of the auspicious beast, Pixiu.

"Gugu, Jeejee Jinjin too. Chomp. Chomp~"

"Alright. Our Xiaojin can eat too with his milk~" said Yue Zhiya as he dumped a cookie into a warm bowl of milk waiting for it to soften before giving it to their youngest.

As for Pei Xiu, he had just grabbed a big bottle of the Immortal Mountain Dew and happily took his leave with his subordinate with a promise to bring more snacks to the children the next day.

Meanwhile at the Core Haven. In the Immortal Star Empire’s Palace. Throne room.

Xing Xieju resting in his own room while listening to the report of shadow whom he had sent to gather information about Yue Xuexia’s state. Unfortunately, shadow didn’t bring this much information as those who knew the situation of the Moon Goddess is extremely rare. There are only the Moon Goddess’s two aides: Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue. The disciple of the Immortal Sun God, Tan Shenyu and the Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang, himself. All his clones included.

"The compensation to the Hidden Tang Sect has been sent." Shadow reported, "Your Majesty, there is no information about the Moon Empress which regards her heart. The Moon Clan didn’t seem to know about it and I didn’t dare to touch the Hidden Tang Sect as the Moon Empress might notice me. Please forgive this useless subordinate of yours, Your Majesty!"

There is no way to touch the people under the Moon Goddess as she will get angry. He had already made a mistake once and there is no way to do it again as he had a feeling that Yue Xuexia would go for a kill next time. So Xing Xieju cannot blame his subordinate for this result. Then there is only one person he can ask about it.

"It seems... I will need to visit an old friend soon," murmured Xing Xieju, the Immortal Star Emperor.

In Azalea Town...

At the biggest inn in the town, a group of children ranging at the age of 18 to 25 had gathered by one senior cultivator who possessed at least Peak Mahayama Realm. These are people from the Regal Lei Clan.

"Senior, when are we going to the Lightning God’s Abode?" Lei Liye asked. He is a young prince from Lord Lei Yuwang’s bloodline. He is the cousin of Yue Zhiya as his mother is the younger sister of the Prince Consort, Lei Ruiye.

The senior is called Shan Jie. A cultivator from the Shan Clan which is one of the collateral branch families. He is the one chosen to be guardian of the young generation’s expedition this year.

Shan Jie responded, "Answering to the young prince, tomorrow if he had gathered everything we need for the expedition we will be able to head there the day after tomorrow. For now, we can only check-in in this place and take our rest."

"Alright. I will not make it hard for the Senior," said Prince Lei Liye.
