Chapter 1106

The County Magistrate rejoiced: "How dare I, how dare I."

That day, the County Magistrate reported the matter to the imperial court.

Several days later, the imperial court sent personnel personally to retrieve the elixir and verify the divine affair.

The imperial palace.

"Marvelous! No wonder it's a divine elixir—I've truly become young again!"

The Emperor beamed with joy: "Issue my edict: grant titles to the Qi family and the Du family..."

Just then, urgent news arrived from outside.

"Report, Your Majesty, urgent border report."

"Has the matter of that female immortal also been verified?"

"Your Majesty, the Li female immortal has also been verified—true, I saw it with my own eyes: a mountain outside the city was split open by an immortal into a canyon."

"Now travelers passing through can go through freely!"

"Good, good, good!" The Emperor was overjoyed: "Issue another edict: grant titles to the Li family. Also, send men to seek out divine traces—I too shall cultivate the Dao."

"Yes."

With the Emperor's rejuvenation and news from the border, tales of immortals spread widely.

Even those who doubted could not deny it after seeing the canyon cleaved by a single sword stroke.

That was certainly not something a mortal could accomplish.

Suddenly, seeking immortals and pursuing the Dao became a trend.

Above the Goddess Temple.

"This place has also become a site of popular veneration—why don't we find a quiet place to cultivate?" Li Yuhu gazed down at the temple, thick with incense, and said.

Du Bingyan nodded: "I was thinking the same. The Dao Lord has already granted me access to the Earth Immortal Realm—let us go."

Li Yuhu nodded, gazing pensively toward Yangzhou; ultimately, she did not turn back, but followed Du Bingyan into the portal of passage.

The Du and Li families, because of the immortal affair, were rich enough for a lifetime—this was sufficient.

As for returning home to care for their elders, both felt a certain unease.

After all, they had both been forced into marriage; though they still felt affection for their families, it was as if a barrier lay between them, lacking something essential.

Better not to meet at all!
