Long Fei had collected quite a few cultivation techniques from the Xiao Family since arriving at Celestial Mystery City.
But all these techniques were simplistic outer sect techniques.
Even those practiced by Xiao Yuanyao were not very profound.
Without a respected senior for reference, Long Fei could only rely on his own comprehension and slowly explore.
Currently, he was only at the entry-level of mimicry, mimicking the superficial appearance of others.
Ordinary people couldn’t tell the difference, but experts could see through it at a glance.
If he were to delve deeper into cultivation, he should be able to mimic blood, flesh, and bones, making the illusion appear more lifelike.
At that ti, if one person can mimic hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, then that person would have the fighting power of tens of thousands.
Just thinking about multiple versions of himself, defeating opponents in groups, made Long Fei’s heart surge with excitent.
He cald his Dantian, released his restraints, and pushed the door open to walk outside.
In the mountains, ti seed fluid; he had only been inside for a while, but when he pushed open the door, it was already dark.
Sunx Lang was guarding the door, and upon seeing him co out, he stood up excitedly and said, "Boss, you’ve co out!"
Long Fei nodded with a smile and curiously asked, seeing him holding a pile of red invitations in his hand, "Did soone co by earlier?"
Sunx Lang said, "Not just soone, it was practically a crowd. You’re a famous figure in Heaven-Piercing Palace now; not only disciples ca to see you, but even the masters and elders paid visits. Look, these are all their invitations."
He handed all the invitations to Long Fei.
Long Fei opened them and took a glance; there were visiting invitations, invitations to join small groups, and even wedding invitations.
He chuckled and sat under the pavilion in the courtyard.
Sunx Lang served him diligently, imdiately brewing tea for Long Fei.
Long Fei took out a spread of fine wine and invited him, "You sit down too! You’ve been busy all day, have a drink to relax!"
"Alright!"
Sunx Lang laughed heartily and sat down opposite him.
Sunx Lang was delighted to be Long Fei’s little sidekick now.
Long Fei was a loyal person, and Sunx Lang knew he wouldn’t lose out.
Furthermore, now there were many people wanting to be Long Fei’s sidekick, and it was an opportunity they didn’t have even after trying hard.
He got up and poured wine into their cups, took out so jerky from his Storage Ring, and clinked bowls with Long Fei first.
Long Fei asked Sunx Lang, "Brother Sunx, do you have any dreams?"
Sunx Lang put down the wine bowl and replied with a smile, "Of course. My previous dream was to move into an courtyard in the Middle-Grade Area, which I’ve already achieved by following you. The Spiritual Energy here is abundant, much better for cultivation than outside."
Long Fei asked him, "Think more long-term."
Sunx Lang pondered and said, "I used to plan to, after graduation, use my maternal family’s connections to enter the Jiang Family and work for them. You know, the Jiang Family’s industry spans the entire Immortal King Star, and doing anything brings imnse benefits."
"What about now?"
Long Fei asked curiously.
Sunx Lang scratched his head and said, embarrassed, "There’ve been so changes on my maternal family’s side; my grandpa just ascended, and now there’s no one in the Jiang Family to speak for us. I’ve decided to focus on cultivation in the next couple of years, not relying on the Jiang Family anymore. If I can learn alchemy well, I won’t starve wherever I go."
"That’s a good mindset; relying on others is never as good as relying on oneself!"
Long Fei smiled and drank a bowl, thinking that this was the proper path for ordinary people.
Though mundane, it was stable.
Sunx Lang asked him, "Boss, what’s your dream?"
Long Fei looked up at the sky and laughed self-deprecatingly, "My dream is quite big; perhaps I’ll never realize it in my lifeti!"
Sunx Lang chuckled, "I know, you want to beco an immortal, right?"
"Sort of."
Long Fei nodded.
Setting foot on this path naturally ans chasing the ultimate.
It’s like climbing a mountain, wanting to see what the view is like at the top.
But the Immortal Path is long and arduous; becoming an immortal is incredibly difficult.
Sunx Lang sighed with Long Fei, "I used to think that way; young people don’t really understand the challenges ahead and feel unique, even dreaming of becoming immortal. But it’s not the sa anymore; as I get older, I see more of my own deficiencies. In truth, I’m no different from the multitude of ordinary people."
He took a sip of wine and added spiritedly to Long Fei, "Boss, you’re different. I see hope in you; you truly are extraordinary. Maybe one day you’ll take steps that even predecessors couldn’t."
"I hope so."
Long Fei chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and flicked his Storage Ring to produce a Pill Furnace, pushing it towards Sunx Lang, "This is Xiao Yuanyao’s Pill Furnace; I’ve wiped off the Spiritual Imprint on it. Even though it’s only a Human Immortal-level Magical Treasure, it’s good enough for refining basic Pills."
Sunx Lang stared at the ancient Pill Furnace, quickly waving his hand, "This, this is too valuable! I can’t take it; you’d use it much better than I would."
A Pill Furnace, after all, is an alchemist’s essential tool.
The higher the level, the better the quality of the refined Pills.
Sunx Lang was from a modest family; his clan could treat a Human Immortal Magical Treasure as a revered object.
He rarely had access to such things, and even if he wanted to buy one, he couldn’t afford it.
A Human Immortal Magical Treasure costs at least hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.
But Long Fei simply smiled, "I have plenty of these. It’s just that having sothing too valuable could bring disaster to you. This Copper Cauldron from Xiao Yuanyao is perfect for you—neither too high nor too low. There are many like it; even when showing it in front of the Xiao Family, they wouldn’t dare lay claim."
He insisted, making Sunx Lang accept it.
Sunx Lang didn’t refuse further but took the item, rising to solemnly bow to Long Fei, "Boss, my life belongs to you from now on. Should you ever be in trouble, I would risk everything to help."
For the one who understands you deeply, people tend to sacrifice themselves.
Sunx Lang wasn’t soone afraid of death.
eting a generous boss like Long Fei, he naturally felt imnsely grateful and knew that only by dedicating himself could he earn Long Fei’s recognition.
The stronger his efforts and loyalty, the greater the rewards.
Long Fei hadn’t thought that far, just seeing him as a good person worth casually looking after.
The Fla Emperor Cauldron in his Storage Ring was True Immortal-grade, so he naturally wouldn’t value a Human Immortal Magical Treasure.
As they were speaking, Long Fei’s earlobe twitched.
Two figures flashed through the sky above.
Suddenly, their courtyard was surrounded by formation flags.
The formation flags numbered nine in total.
They were crimson red.
Upon landing, the original restraints in the courtyard exploded with Pops, all shattered by the Mystic Patterns within these flags.
Sunx Lang jumped in shock, quickly drawing his Longsword and shouting towards the sky, "Bold culprits! How dare you cause trouble at Heaven-Piercing Palace?"
Heaven-Piercing Palace has rules: Any disputes must not be resolved outside the Battle Arena.
Sunx Lang didn’t expect such audacity from the culprits to set up a formation and cause chaos in public.
Those setting up the formation entirely ignored him.
A commanding shout, "Detonate!"
The nine formation flags suddenly emitted a golden light, completely enveloping Long Fei and Sunx Lang.
A blazing fire, like volcanic magma, erupted from the ground and surged towards Long Fei and Sunx Lang.
