As a dutiful person, helping to close the door is quite reasonable, right?
Isn’t it normal to lock oneself inside the room by accident when closing the door?
As the weather is getting colder, lying in bed to sleep is pretty reasonable, isn’t it?
Removing one’s clothes while sleeping also makes sense, right?
As for the last part-
That was just an accident!
After all, the opening was so large; you can’t blame it all on me, Xu, can you?

“Friend Xu, I’ve helped secure the person you need, but are you sure?” Fan He asked, taking small steps forward.
“Absolutely sure!”
Xu Mu brushed a red leaf from his shoulder and continued, “Friend Fan, rest assured, you’ll get your fair commission once the deal is closed!”
“You’re too kind, Friend Xu!” Fan He shook his head, “It’s not about the commission! The Mysterious Yuan Pill is not easy to concoct. I’m worried you’ll waste your spirit stones!”
The favor Xu Mu asked of him was to introduce an alchemist from whom he could learn how to create the Mysterious Yuan Pill.
The Mysterious Yuan Pill was a tier-three pill that could directly be converted into cultivation. It was one of the highest-priced, most sought-after pills among tier-three pills.
Of course, it was also one of the most difficult ones to make.
Since Xu Mu didn’t have much Luck Value at the moment and didn’t want to waste it on the simplest early stages, he figured he’d first learn from others. Once he’d learned enough, he would then use his Luck Value to improve.
“To be honest, I do have some confidence in my alchemy skills! Friend Fan, you can relax!”
“Well then, I won’t say much more! Let me be the first to wish you success in creating your Mysterious Yuan Pill, Friend Xu!”
“You’re too kind, Friend Fan!”
Under Fan He’s guidance, the two walked to the end of Red Leaf Street and stopped in front of a large redwood gate.
Fan He knocked on the door.
The door was opened by a young woman in yellow robes, with surprisingly long and curled eyelashes. Her rare scarlet eyes seemed to have known Fan He was coming as she greeted him softly.
“Master Fan, you’re here!
Fan He nodded and pointed to Xu Mu, “Niece Si, this is the person I mentioned to Friend Si!”
“Him?
Seeing Xu Mu’s appearance, Si Tan’er’s scarlet pupils showed a bit of surprise, probably not expecting him to be so young. According to what she heard, he’s an experienced alchemist in the late stage of Qi Cultivation.
In her mind, alchemists with such abilities should either be old like Fan He or show signs of aging.
The Xu Mu she was seeing didn’t seem to be more than his thirties.
His appearance and abilities might not be noticeable in major sects, but among loose cultivators, he was unique.
“I am Xu Mu, pleased to meet you!”
Xu Mu stepped forward, smiling as he made his greeting.
He was quite used to this kind of reaction from Si Tan’er. Fan He had responded the same when they first met.
What Si Tan’er and Fan He didn’t know was that he had deliberately controlled his appearance to look slightly older; his true appearance was actually at least ten years younger than his current facade.
“Eh? Elder Xu, hello! I’m Si Tan’er! Please follow me; my grandfather happens to have some free time now!”
Si Tan’er suppressed her surprise and politely greeted him before opening the door to invite both men inside.
Si Tan’er led them through a long corridor to a secluded courtyard.
“Grandfather, Master Fan has a visitor!”
She knocked on the door and called out.
“Come in!”
A deep but ancient voice responded from within.
Si Tan’er ushered the two men inside the room and stayed outside.
Inside the room, a wrinkled, lion-haired elder was sitting cross-legged. Only upon hearing their footsteps did he open his eyes, revealing the same scarlet pupils as Si Tan’er.
However, compared to Si Tan’er’s clear and bright eyes, his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, making his pupils appear much duller.
“Friend Fan, is this the Xu you spoke of?”
Si Xuanjing looked at Xu Mu with a curious expression on his ancient face.
Probably the same as Si Tan’er, he thought Xu Mu was too young.
“Friend Si, I’m Xu Mu indeed. I’m here to learn the way of concocting the Mysterious Yuan Pill from you!” Xu Mu confidently said.
Fan He nodded in agreement.
Si Xuanjing furrowed his thick brows, a little curious as he asked, “May I ask how old Friend Xu is this year?”
