The Way of The Dao

Yun Mengxin was currently resting in her bedroom.

She had returned from meeting Ling Tian, so she was about to sleep.

Looking at the porcelain bottle on the bedside table, she reached out and grabbed it.

Yun Mengxin remembered her behavior that night in front of Ling Tian. She was embarrassed and could not stop a slight blush from appearing on her cheeks.

She immediately drank the medicinal liquid.

Yun Mengxin began to feel a pleasant sensation and warm comfort in her body.

Just when she wanted to lie down and sleep, the design of the porcelain bottle caught her attention.

The porcelain bottle that contained the medicinal liquid had some exquisite patterns marked on its surface.

Although some porcelain bottles containing the elixirs had a few designs on their surface, it was rare to see them. Normally one would carve whatever one wanted on the surface, but hardly anyone did that. What would be the point of designing drawings or patterns on the surface of a porcelain bottle, if after all, you end up throwing it away and getting another porcelain bottle with an elixir?

A distant image came into her mind.

"Isn't this from..."

Yun Mengxin narrowed her eyes, remembering if her assumption could be true.

"Forget it for now. Maybe I can learn more about him over time..." She breathed a sigh and lay down on her big bed.

The image of Ling Tian came to her mind. Without knowing it, his figure had been totally imprinted on her.

She slept at once, with a comfortable smile on her face. The feeling of comfort and the absence of the cold that invaded her brought her a heavenly calm.

…

When Ling Tian arrived at the house, he was surprised to see Mu Shuiruo still awake in the living room.

"Little Shuiruo, haven't you gone to sleep yet?" Ling Tian asked when he saw her head swaying from sleep.

Mu Shuiruo was startled to hear Ling Tian's voice, so she quickly woke up and said with a blush on her pretty, sleepy face: "Big brother, you're back..."

Ling Tian nodded: "You should have slept, you didn't have to wait for me."

A disappointed look briefly crossed her beautiful eyes while she moved her lips. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she hesitated.

Ling Tian could more or less discern what she was feeling.

He waved his hand and patted her head gently: "Little Shuiruo, thank you for waiting for me, but it was not necessary to stay up waiting for me, it is already very late. Now, go to sleep. I will rest too."

Mu Shuiruo's face blushed slightly as she felt Ling Tian's hand on her head, patting her.

Just when Ling Tian was going to his room, Mu Shuiruo's voice came behind him: "Big brother, your clothes..."

Ling Tian showed a rather stiff smile as he said, "I got some clothes and took a bath outside, hehe."

Mu Shuiruo nodded slightly when a blush appeared on her face again.

He did not know what was going on in her mind.

Ling Tian went to his room.

'Is she really in love with me? That couldn't be true, right?' Ling Tian shook his head.

Putting those thoughts aside, he settled down and tried to cultivate.

A few hours later, Ling Tian let out a sigh when he saw no progress.

"It seems that I cannot advance to the Foundation Establishment stage unless I raise the heavenly seal... or perhaps get a powerful energy and force my cultivation to advance to the next stage..."

He was a little frustrated. Even though his cultivation had returned, he still had a lot to get back to his peak.

If he couldn't find a teleportation formation, he would have to find a way to lift the heavenly seal to get his cultivation back, or at least have enough strength to be able to tear the space and travel in the void, so he could get to another plane. Perhaps, and hopefully, he could fall into some cultivation world. Then, he would use one of the natural teleportation zones that exist in the cultivation world and travel between the worlds until he returns to the immortal world.

"But in the meantime, I could enjoy my stay in this lower world a little. It might be interesting for me to stay here... to live as an ordinary mortal..." Ling Tian became interested in this tiny world. He had never been on any plane where there is apparently only one city in the world, fighting a constant battle against demonic beasts. The worlds where he traveled in search of immortal crystals to cultivate more quickly were always abandoned and their laws of time were greatly altered. He never found human life in those places. Occasionally he encountered demonic creatures, nothing more.

Besides, he felt that he should not leave this lower plane for now. He didn't know why he felt that.

Ling Tian swept away his frustration with determination and hope. He knew that someday he could return to his peak, even if it took a little time.

In less than two more hours it would be dawn, so he decided to sleep.

Ling Tian woke up early again and took a bath.

Mu Shen got up at once.

"Mmm? My sister's not up?" He didn't see Mu Shuiruo up, so it was strange.

Ling Tian subtly released his spiritual sense and found that Mu Shuiruo was still sleeping.

Shaking his head with a helpless smile, he said: "Maybe she went to bed late yesterday, so she is still asleep. Don't disturb her, let her sleep peacefully."

Although Mu Shen nodded in acknowledgement, it was still a bit odd that his younger sister had not woken up. Did she fall asleep late because she was still studying about alchemy?

Mu Shen decided to begin his training in the mornings. Though he was already a Great Heaven rank, he still wanted to increase his martial arts power for whatever problems came up in their lives.

Ling Tian was watching his training. Should he teach him the path of cultivation? Even though only a few days had passed, he already considered Mu Shen to be a correct and good-hearted person, even considering him a good friend. Ling Tian had seen his sincerity and friendship. He could be a good brother later on.

Ling Tian knew that this was not the immortal world, where hypocrisy and evil existed. The malice that existed in this place would be child's play for him. But the evil in people could still grow inside them. He would wait a little longer.

"I'll go to the city, I'll come back later." Ling Tian warned Mu Shen while raising his hand in farewell and heading for the exit of the house.

"Okay." Mu Shen nodded and continued his warm-up.

Ling Tian arrived quickly in the Star City. He circled around and finally found himself standing in front of a large building.

'Alchemy Association'

These words were written in front of the main building.

​ Ling Tian wanted to know the level of knowledge of alchemy in this lower plane and how much they knew, so he entered the building.

"Welcome, would you like to buy any elixirs or order any?" A woman in her twenties approached Ling Tian and asked politely with a smile.

Just when Ling Tian was about to answer.

"We need Master Gi to come!" A shout was heard at the entrance of the building.

A man was carrying a middle-aged man on his shoulders. Next to him was a young woman in a dress that highlighted her figure.
