The Pill Origin Gathering began, and again three years passed.
After the three years, once the grand event concluded, Xu Yang bid farewell to everyone, not even delaying for long with close Mahayana associates like the Peony Fairy.
There was one exception alone.
"Star Lord!"
When Xu Yang returned to his abode, he saw someone waiting and immediately asked with a light laugh, "How was the gathering?"
"Exquisite, exquisite!"
The person in question looked like an elder, his flowing robes and immortal-like presence, with white hair and a long beard, his face bearing a smile and his eyes expressing kindness. He leaned on a dragon staff and held an immortal peach, the very image of a virtuous True Monarch, the South Pole Longevity Heaven Immortal.
"What a Pill Origin Gathering, truly a reputation well deserved!"
