Half a year later.
On this day.
Gong Yang and Duan Shuang once again returned to Purple Bamboo Mountain, covered in dust, bringing good news for Xu Ping.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, fortunately, we did not fail in our mission!" Duan Shuang beamed like a flower, pushing a small jade box in front of Xu Ping.
Inside the jade box lay a Jade Longevity Fruit, exuding an enticing aroma.
Seeing this scene, Xu Ping's eyes couldn't help but brighten, and he clasped his hands together. "Many thanks to both of you, Fellow Daoists!"
This trade was truly worthwhile for him, needing to take no risks and only spending some resources, yet acquiring another Jade Longevity Fruit.
"We should be the ones thanking Fellow Daoist instead, for if not for your puppet, the two of us might have been in grave danger!" Duan Shuang's charming face still showed some lingering fear.
