Upon hearing this, Lu Heng couldn't help but think to himself that his cheap mentor would have to take the blame for him again!

But to be honest, if there really was someone in this world who could achieve immortality, it would undoubtedly be his cheap mentor, Taoist Xuancheng.

After all, Taoist Xuancheng was a true Daoist in the traditional sense, wasn't he?

The man is not greedy for money or power, indifferent to fame and wealth, living a life that truly embodies his "Dao."

Such a Daoist is probably one in a million, even across the entire Taoist school.

This is why both the Religious Affairs Bureau and the three individuals with Hua Ming firmly believed that Taoist Xuancheng was most likely the hidden "Immortal."

Next, Hua Ming talked about some of the achievements of Taoist Xuancheng.

Among these stories were hooks, trying to bait Lu Heng into revealing more information.

Lu Heng naturally pretended not to know and deliberately took the bait.

He had pretty much said everything he could.

This made the three of Hua Ming's faces full of excitement and enthusiasm.

They were already convinced that Taoist Xuancheng was the "Immortal."

As for why the Religious Affairs Bureau hadn't figured it out yet?

That's because they're stupid!

What else could it possibly be?

And this scene did not escape Lu Heng's notice.

The plan he was scheming was still not quite mature and needed another day or two to be perfected.

In the meantime, it would be best to let the three of Hua Ming bother his cheap mentor and leave him alone to work on his thoughts.

"Master, once my identity problem is solved, I promise to make you a cup of tea with a bottle of Spirit Water."

"So, please, with your great ability, help me stall these pesky flies…"

Lu Heng silently said to himself.

As the four of them chatted, they had already arrived at the cafeteria.

To welcome Hua Ming and the other two, Xuanming had specially requested some good dishes from the cafeteria.

The little foodie Qingyue was busy eating, her cheeks puffed up with food.

After lunch, Uncle Master Xuanming took the initiative to ask the three of Hua Ming about their feelings.

What could the three of Hua Ming say?

Naturally, they praised it repeatedly.

The honest Xuanming was all smiles, lost in this sea of praise.

"Qingfeng, take your three senior brothers around the Three Pure Hall and other areas to get familiar with the surroundings."

Xuanming immediately made the decision.

"Yes, Uncle Master!"

Even though Lu Heng was extremely unwilling, he still nodded in agreement.

He really didn't want to deal with these three guys.

From the conversations and interactions in the cafeteria, he had roughly figured out the personalities of these three.

Hua Ming was exactly his initial impression, a smiling tiger.

Such people chat and laugh with you on the surface, act like your brother, but secretly wouldn't hesitate to stab you in the back.

Yuan Ji was deep and unfathomable.

He seemed amiable on the surface, but no one could truly understand his inner thoughts.

As for Yu Yang, compared to the other two, his personality was simpler.

He was merely arrogant.

Arrogant to the point he couldn't be bothered to talk to you.

"Three senior brothers, please follow me!"

Lu Heng had no choice but to take these three burdens and start spinning around the Shangqing Tao.

The three of Hua Ming were quite bored, too.

Who told them they had already wandered around during the morning?

So after half a circle, the three of them used the excuse of being physically tired and wanting to rest to proactively return to their quarters.

"Alright then!"

"We'll see each other again at dinner!"

Lu Heng watched the backs of the three leaving, secretly pondering his plans.

"Brother! Brother!"

"What delicious food have you prepared for me tonight?"

Just as he got rid of three big burdens, another little burden appeared.

Qingyue hopped over, full of curiosity.

"I'm cooking porridge for you!"

Lu Heng replied without thinking.

Immortal Crystal Rice weighed only three pounds.

Who knows when he'd draw it again.

So it must be eaten sparingly.

And compared to cooking rice, cooking porridge was the most economical way.

"What? Cooking porridge?"

The expectant look on Qingyue's face instantly collapsed upon hearing that.

"Don't worry, brother guarantees you'll be satisfied."

Lu Heng was also looking forward to the effect of cooking porridge with Immortal Crystal Rice.

If he added some Spirit Water, would it taste even better?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to try it right now.

"Alright then."

Qingyue nodded reluctantly.

With all her thinking, she couldn't figure out the connection between cooking porridge and something delicious.

Time quickly flew into the evening.

Lu Heng and Qingyue didn't even bother with dinner and rushed back to their quarters as quickly as possible.

Lu Heng took out a newly purchased electric rice cooker and carefully washed it several times.

Then he took out the already prepared half cup of Immortal Crystal Rice and a cup of Spirit Water.

Cooking porridge uses a lot of water, and he didn't have that much Spirit Water to waste, so he only added one cup of Spirit Water, and filled the rest with spring water.

"Brother, what kind of rice is this?"

"Why does it look so shiny?"

Qingyue's eyes widened, full of curiosity.

"Secret!"

Lu Heng chuckled.

This Immortal Crystal Rice, when seen in daylight, was clear and translucent like fine jade.

In the evening, under the lights, it sparkled brightly.

"Cocky!"

Qingyue pouted her small mouth.

However, looking at the shiny rice in front of her, this was the first time she was eagerly anticipating drinking porridge.

Lu Heng unhurriedly poured the rice and water into the electric cooker, then pressed the porridge button.

Afterwards, he and Qingyue sat opposite the electric cooker, both staring eagerly at it, quietly waiting.

Before long, a fragrance of rice began emanating from the electric cooker.

"So fragrant!"

Qingyue sniffed hard, nearly drooling.

Lu Heng too was smelling such delightful rice aroma for the first time.

Compared to this, the cafeteria's rice was garbage!

As the rice aroma grew stronger, Lu Heng suddenly realized something was off.

The aroma was so intense that even people with a blocked nose would surely smell it.

How could the other fellow disciples in the dormitory not smell it?

...

"How was the rest for you three nephews?"

At dinner time, Xuanming personally went to Hua Ming's dormitory.

"Thank you, Uncle Master, for your concern. We are well rested."

Hua Ming replied with a smile.

"That's good!"

Xuanming nodded slightly, adding, "It's time for dinner. You three come with me!"

"Yes, Uncle Master!"

The three of Hua Ming nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, they left the waiting room.

Xuanming smiled and said, "Here, after dinner, we usually have an evening class, taught personally by the Sect Leader."

"If the three nephews are interested, feel free to come and listen!"

"That would be great!"

"We are very much looking forward to Uncle Xuancheng's lecture!"

Hearing this, the three of Hua Ming couldn't help but light up with excitement and anticipation.

In their eyes, Xuancheng was surely a cultivator.

If they could learn just a bit from him, could they comprehend some mysteries and become cultivators themselves?

"Eh? What's that smell, so fragrant?"

Xuanming suddenly paused, unable to resist sniffing a few times…
