Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 64 - Adventure Together

The reply from the sect sent back by Wu San had actually been received when Shenghao was busy giving Yao Han direction regarding the making of the talisman. After learning that they had gotten permission to travel with Yao Han, Shenghao and Honghao became more relaxed towards Yao Han while interacting.

Their small campground did not have a campfire as a lighting, but instead used a unique fire magic named Fire Lantern that Yao han unleashed. Small fireballs floated around the three like fireflies. Not only as a light, but also as a body warmer.

Shenghao and Honghao could only be astonished when they saw how Yao Han had lightly cast magic that could be used against opponents instead of being used as night lighting that seemed like toys.

Shenghao and Honghao continued their practice of raising their practice using Yao Han's pills, while the gray-eyed young man was still busy with the activity of snacking on honey grass while continuing the practice of making talismans.

At midnight, Shenghao and Honghao chose to sleep, while Yao Han remained with his activities.

In the morning, Shenghao woke up earlier than Honghao. He did not find Yao Han in the vine dome of the young man-made plant, but the moment he came out of the dome, Shenghao found Yao Han sitting cross-legged under a tree not far from him.

Without Shenghao and Honghao noticing, that night Yao Han took advantage of the time to raise his practice. Currently all five of his pure spirit roots were in the sixteen level Basic Realm.

Shenghao then walked up to Yao Han as the young man opened his eyes and looked towards him.

"It seems I should imitate you, Brother Yao. You wake up early and practice."

"I didn't sleep last night."

That short answer made Shenghao's smile faint slightly.

"You were up all night? Ah, it looks like we're troubling you to look after us, Brother Yao." Shenghao had different thoughts so felt guilty. He apologized for not realizing this.

"No, you misunderstood. To date, I have two habits related to sleep. First, since childhood I would wake up an hour or two earlier than sunrise. Second, while still on Star Moon Island, I often did not sleep for three to five days in a row."

Shenghao scratched his cheek while smiling awkwardly. He knew the condition of Star Moon Island was different from other places. The high Qi density on that one unique island could even make an ordinary human still healthy fit without the need to eat or sleep for a whole week.

Honghao woke up not too long later, then Yao Han took them to breakfast with his provisions.

"Brother Yao, I forgot to ask. Did this food come from Nagarasa Restaurant?"

"Absolutely. I bought it at a restaurant in the Moonlight City."

Honghao chuckled softly, "My guess turned out to be true. It just tastes so good."

After filling the stomach in the morning, they rest for a moment. Then they went on an adventure together towards the Moonlight City.

***

Yao Han's entourage did not meet any obstacles at all when leaving the White Deer Province region, after all this one region tends to be peaceful.

"Senior, it turns out that Brother Yao bears a resemblance to our sect."

Honghao commented as Yao Han went to some people to offer free medical services. Looking at Yao Han's innate manner, those people accepted his good offer and upon completion, Yao Han always gave a Blue Lotus Flower to each person.

"Brother Yao not only possesses great medicinal abilities, but also rare kindness."

Honghao agreed with his senior. He felt like Yao Han was one of a million people. Curious, Honghao asked the reason for Yao Han's actions as he resumed his journey.

"Is there a need for a reason to help people?" Yao Han asked back.

Honghao paused for a moment before replying, "Not really, I think there's a special reason."

Yao Han stroked his chin, "Special reason, yes... Maybe if I thought further because I was taught to always help others."

Shenghao and Honghao stared doubtfully at Yao Han, "Sorry Brother Yao, given your teacher's nature..."

Honghao did not continue his words, but Yao Han understood his point.

"My teacher always taught me to ask for a reward if anyone asked for help. The more difficult the request, the greater the reward received." Yao Han laughed offingly recalling his teacher.

Shenghao and Honghao laughed awkwardly. Perhaps only Yao Han would dare to vilify his teacher's name in the eyes of others, even though the young man knew his teacher didn't care either, justifying instead.

"Before I met my teacher, there were others who taught me about this. He was the one who took care of me since my baby and he is no longer in this world."

Feeling that the conversation was leading to something personal, Shenghao signaled for Honghao to be quiet and fortunately understood immediately. Then Yao Han said something as a cover for his explanation, which left Shenghao and Honghao speechless for a long time.

"In my mind, helping others is an obligation, receiving rewards is a choice. And I chose to help others without expecting anything in return. I feel like this is something that's not wrong, so I'll just do it."

***

Yao Han's entourage often stopped at several places because Yao Han offered free medical services to almost everyone he met. Shenghao and Honghao did not complain as Yao Han's actions could be said to be in line with the teachings of their sect.

Honghao could hardly help but persuade Yao Han to join the White Lotus Sect from seeing her attitude, especially after seeing Yao Han helping a starving homeless man.

Not only did Yao Han give the treatment away for free, he also made the homeless man full in a short period of time. Yao Han didn't seem to care much about spending enough supplies on just one vagrant man.

In one day, that homeless man became a different person quite a lot. Yao Han gave the man new clothes and cleaned up the man. Also no less surprising, Yao Han sprayed the Blue Lotus Flower fragrance on the man.

Until then the man cried while continuing to thank Yao Han and worship him as a god. Shenghao and Honghao intervened to help as Yao Han was overwhelmed to stop the man's actions.

On the way too Yao Han showed Shenghao the twelve Fireball Talismans he had made to Shenghao. The almost bald youth praised Yao Han for making rapid progress. Shenghao alone took at least three years since his first success to get the same result as Yao Han.

"When you study with the King of Amulets, in less than a hundred years, maybe you can become the best Talisman Cultivator, Brother Yao."
