Li Chengze let out a long sigh and said, "I have some guesses. You are very different from the girl from the Ding family."

Huilan choked and said, "Now that I've said it, I might as well tell you everything.

I am Ding Huilan, a monk from Xuanqing Continent. I guess my fate is very suitable for this little girl. I come from the Ding family, a first-class cultivation family.

Because I was looking for a spiritual object for my father, I was targeted and surrounded by several masters. I thought I would disappear after death, but I didn't know how I woke up in the body of a little girl.

We call this situation unconscious seizing of one’s body. Seizing one’s body is against the laws of nature, so I was punished.

Not only was his cultivation gone, but his soul was also severely shaken, and it will take a long time to repair.

After I came here, I slowly understood the world here. I urgently needed to find a place to recuperate.

What I’m teaching you is a monk’s cultivation technique, which is relatively common. You are a prince and a destined figure, and I can use your merits to restore your soul, and maybe there will be a chance to return.”

Li Chengze grabbed her hand and said, "After talking for a long time, you still want to go back."

There was an anxious expression on his face.

"Ze Lang, I am a monk, not a mortal. Even if I enter the body of a mortal, I will still be a monk. I will still go back after my death. It is not up to me."

Huilan felt that it was time to talk openly and honestly, and it was impossible to keep it secret for the rest of her life.

If he can't accept it, then he can just find an excuse and leave. But the Ding family is in some trouble.

Li Chengze was obviously frustrated, "Why are you being hunted down?"

"Because I am an alchemist, and immortality requires a price. In order to advance further in cultivation, and to live a few more years, the selfishness and terror of human nature are far more bloody and cruel than the battle between emperors.

When monks fight for their lives in heaven, a wealthy couple and a lawful wife are the first conditions. I am an alchemist, which is one of the indispensable conditions for monks. So they want to catch me and imprison me to refine medicine for them, and destroy it if they don't get it."

Huilan smiled bitterly, thought of something, turned her hand and took out a jade slip and put it on his forehead.

"Concentrate your attention, here is some common sense about my world that you can learn about.

Anyway, sooner or later, I can’t hide it. If it weren’t for the Taoism people practicing here, I probably wouldn’t have told you this.”

Li Chengze saw the contents of the jade slips and took a while to digest them.

"So your world is actually like this. Can people live that long?"

"There is a price. Every time you advance to a higher realm, you have to accept various life and death tests. The most deadly one is the thunder tribulation. Under the thunder tribulation, you will almost die. The higher you go, the harder it becomes and the more severe the test.

"

Huilan sighed, everything has to pay a price, and monks pay even more.

"I see, do you still have such a book? Show me where you took it out just now. Why didn't I find it?"

Li Chengze was very curious. It turned out that people in Xuanmen had such wonderful methods. It was really interesting.

"Yes, I'll sort it out for you later. I don't know if telling you this is good or bad. It's better to tell you if it messes up your mind. If it messes up your fate, I'm afraid I will die miserably."

She sighed.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not confused. I'm just curious. Is the thing you just took out from somewhere a mustard seed space? I've seen it in a book. Is there any hidden secrets?"

"Yes, forget it, I'll give you this. It's a storage bag, used by monks to hold things. It can only hold dead things, not living things."

Huilan taught him how to use a storage bag so that he could hide what he needed without being discovered by others.

Li Chengze spent a little effort to refine the storage bag. He was as curious as a child, taking things out and putting them in again, smiling happily after repeating them several times.

"Why didn't you give me something so useful?"

Li Chengze looked at her resentfully.

"I've never been sure whether I should tell you this or not. I see that the emperor has been taking elixirs, and I feel a little worried, but it's hard to explain.

I know he wants to find a life-extending pill, and there must be records in Xuanmen, but I tell you there is no chance.

The life-extending pill requires a ten thousand-year elixir, and the person who refines it must have a very high level of cultivation. I don't know how to do it, and I don't have the materials nor the ability.

People from Xuanmen cannot be cultivated. Such a person would never enter the palace, let alone have anything to do with the royal family.

You must know that the fate of the Emperor Star is determined in a few days. If you disturb the fate of the Emperor Star, you will be punished by heaven. There is only one end, which is to be wiped out in ashes.

So I am sure that they are all fooling the emperor, and most of the medicine they give is medicine to restore the body."

Li Chengze nodded, "It's true that no one can study it. Let's put this aside for now. Then will you leave me? You have so many methods, but I don't know any of them. Laner, please don't leave me, okay?"

After reading the common sense in the jade slips, I have a general understanding of the monks. Although I still have many questions, I am certain that she has many methods, and she definitely has more than the little she showed to herself.

"I will stay with you in this life. As long as you don't let me down, I will never betray you."

This is her promise, a promise worth a thousand dollars.

"Really? You can't lie to me."

He hugged her tightly and felt very panicked. He had never been so scared before.

"A monk never breaks his promise. Every promise he makes will be monitored by heaven, and those who break the promise will be punished.

You must also remember to do more good deeds and be benevolent, and kill less evil, otherwise you will end up very miserable. Merits play a very important role in people like you and me."

"I remember, as long as you don't leave me, I will promise you whatever you ask me to do."

Li Chengze buried his head in her arms and absorbed the warmth and fragrance from her body.

"Fool, if I had known you were so scared, I wouldn't have told you."

"No, I want to know everything about you, what you are like originally, I don't care where you come from, I know who the person I love is, and I have never admitted my mistake.

God sent you to come to me, that is the fate between you and me. Otherwise, we are so far apart but can still be involved. This is the best proof."

Li Chengze firmly believes in this, she is the lucky star sent to him by God.

"Ze Lang, I don't have the ability to help you get the throne of the emperor. I can't interfere with the direction of the Yong Dynasty, otherwise I will be punished by thunder and be wiped out in ashes.

People like us, who have the opportunity to live forever, lose the opportunity to reincarnate."

Huilan smiled bitterly, she had earned her whole life by treating illnesses and saving people, so she should be content.

Li Chengze smiled and rubbed her head, "Gu is not that weak, he still needs a woman to help me fight for it.

Of course I have to fight for what I want, so why do I need you to shoulder the responsibility for me as a man?"

"Ze Lang, please believe me. I have my own reasons for not telling you some things. There is no benefit in knowing too much, but I have never lied to you.

If one day you no longer trust me, I can leave. I just ask you not to blame the Ding family. I bear the glory and wealth of Miss Ding’s family and have the responsibility to protect the Ding family’s safety.”
