Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 659 - 462 Eastern Wilderness Current Affairs [Daily]

It was deep autumn.

At noon, the sky was a brilliant blue, the clouds as white as if washed by Shui Lang.

A flock of Cloud Geese, flapping their wings, formed an umbrella shape as they headed south, striving to endure the approaching cold winter.

Trailing behind, a young Cloud Goose fell out of the formation, desperately trying to catch up, but still lagging behind.

Fortunately, the Cloud Geese Beast King did not give up on the little one, doubling back to lead it into the ranks again. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Atop Rainbow Fire Peak of Phoenix Creek Sect.

Hong Yuan stood alone, his head raised as he watched this scene.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and turned to tenderly look at Lin Yiru and Mo Yue'er, who were bustling about in the courtyard.

These two women had rolled up their sleeves, revealing arms as white as jade, and were cooking especially for Hong Yuan!

Only the three of them were present in the courtyard.

This place was once the White Frost Stone House, holding many of Hong Yuan's fondest memories.

Hong Yuan remained silent, seated to one side, watching the two women with indulgent eyes as they worked diligently.

Master, Senior Brother, rest assured. I will definitely take good care of Yiru and Yue'er, allowing them to live their lives in peace. Hong Yuan resolved in his heart. I have the capability to do so!

On the other side of the courtyard, Lin Yiru was dressed in coarse hemp clothes, but they did not detract from her graceful beauty. She bowed her head, slowly immersing the well-cleaned old turtle and firewood chicken in the medicinal herbs. This was a dish called "Dry Braised Black-bone Chicken," one of Hong Yuan's favorites!

"Yuan, did I make any mistakes with this method?" Lin Yiru tinkered for a bit, then turned back, her eyes smiling. She let out a pleasant, bell-like laugh, awaiting Hong Yuan's approval.

Before Hong Yuan had fully matured, he was already proficient in the culinary arts, his skills bordering on mastery. His judgment, naturally, was beyond reproach.

Hong Yuan nodded lightly, saying softly, "There's nothing wrong with it."

"Little Uncle, what about mine?" Mo Yue'er also blinked her incredibly bright eyes, looking up at Hong Yuan expectantly, eager for his commendation.

Under Hong Yuan's protection, their minds were nearly as pure as a child's, making them fine candidates for cultivation. Unfortunately, the Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation was not so easily overcome. Even Martial Arts Heavenly Talents like Zhang Fan, Liu Mantang, and Ye Qingcheng had faltered at this juncture. The Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation was arduous, a true matter of life and death!

"Yue'er did great too," Hong Yuan responded in a soft voice, showing no favoritism.

The two women, having received Hong Yuan's praise, worked even harder and more earnestly, full of motivation.

Watching their figures, a hidden trace of melancholy lay beneath Hong Yuan's joyful eyes. Even though he had taught them the Wood Tao Art of Longevity, their Life Span was still not extensive—just over two hundred years.

To Hong Yuan, two hundred years was but a fleeting moment. Although I've lived less than a century in real life, in various Dream Worlds, haven't I lived for tens of thousands of years, if not more? Once I deal with trivial matters like the Great Dream Emperor, I fear a mere retreat might see hundreds of years pass by.

HUFF...

After pondering for some time, Hong Yuan gently exhaled a breath of stale air. He got to his feet, gazing at the sycamore tree in the courtyard, his heart filled with ineffable emotions.

Having attained the Way of Longevity is already a blessing from the heavens for myself. How can I expect to hold onto these present joys indefinitely? Just like this, I'll accompany them well through this life. Hong Yuan decided deep in his heart, beginning to let go of certain attachments.

I resolve to bestow a lifetime of glory upon the two women. After the struggle for Destiny is over, they too should shine with their own light, at least no less dazzling than Phoenix Princess Tang Xi! In this way, our meeting in this lifetime will not have been in vain.

「The next morning.」

Clad in a black Taoist robe, Hong Yuan contained his presence and slowly left Rainbow Fire Peak, heading down towards Phoenix River Town at the foot of the Sect's mountain.

「Phoenix River Town.」

During the early market hours, it was exceptionally lively. On the main streets were ordinary folks bustling about for their daily meals. There were also patrons of Yihong House, sneakily returning to their homes after their revelries. But mostly, there were throngs of Martial Artists!

Because Hong Yuan was known as the foremost among mortals, Phoenix Creek Sect's reputation had greatly increased. It became a famous Holy Land for cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, and even renowned among the Five Great God Continents! Countless aspiring Martial Arts Geniuses came, hoping to join Phoenix Creek Sect and become the next Hong Yuan!

This was also one of the reasons Hong Yuan wanted to come down the mountain. I've discovered that the fortune of all living beings I've gathered isn't diminishing. The title of 'foremost among mortals' has brought me too many benefits; this is abnormal!

"Hey, don't miss out while passing by! This is a second-tier Calming Dust Pill refined by Alchemist Xiao!" shouted the owner of a small shop in the market.

"Wind Thunder Talismans, Fireball Talismans, Blood Thunder Talismans! Everything you could possibly need, don't miss out!" A young Martial Cultivator standing by a stall in the aisle waved his arms, continuously beckoning for customers.

Pills, talismans, Formations...

Phoenix River Town, once a slightly renowned small town, had transformed in no time into a well-known cultivation city, rivaling even some of the great Sects and powers. Here, throwing a stone could hit a cluster of third-tier Martial Artists—it was terrifyingly dense with them!

At this moment, Hong Yuan, having concealed his aura, was inconspicuous to others as he walked slowly into the market street. His eyes, however, seemed to hold a glowing lamp, allowing him to see the direction of fortune.

Luck Tao Divine Power—Destiny Lamp High Illumination!
