Zhongnan Mountain.
After Xu Qing met Dong Lingzi, they traveled together and parted ways upon reaching Zhongnan Mountain.
It was Sun the Taoist who found Xu Qing.
"The True Master is ill?"
Sun the Taoist whispered, "The True Master made a mistake in his cultivation technique, probably it's..."
As he spoke, his eyes reddened.
Xu Qing sighed, I'll go and take a look.
Now, Xu Qing was akin to the Living Buddha Ji Gong of the Lingyin Temple from the previous dynasty. After descending the mountain, he quickly became known throughout the world, and even the Chongyang Palace shared in the glory.
This time returning to the mountain, the Taoists on the mountain looked at him very differently.
Xu Qing, however, did not show any overly proud expression.
He made his way to Sun the True Master's quiet chamber.
"Xu Qing, you've finally returned." Sun the True Master reluctantly opened his eyes, saw Xu Qing, and squeezed out a faint smile.
