After the four had finished the absorption process and saw Zheng-Fu, they immediately rushed over and greeted Zheng-Fu with joy. But before they could even reach Zheng-Fu, Dong-Kuang's voice interrupted them; he told them to go wash their bodies first.
All four agreed. Since it had been more than a month since they had last showered, they must have had body odor. And with respect for Zheng-Fu, they did not hesitate to say goodbye to Zheng-Fu and Dong-Kuang to return to cleanse their bodies.
After everyone had left, only Zheng-Fu and Dong-Kuang were left inside the hall. Zheng-Fu walked over to the chair in the middle of the room that was his before speaking.
“Brother Dong, I’ll get closed-door cultivation for a month. During that time, if something happens here and you and Elder Hai-Tu can't cope, you all must retreat immediately. Don't fight in exchange for life, and activate the formation spell that I set up,” with that said, Zheng-Fu threw a purple stone at Dong-Kuang.
