Xu Qing and Grandmaster Bai walked side by side.
They traversed the starry sky, walked through the river of time.
Their figures were imperceptible to ordinary cultivators—only Summer Immortals could vaguely sense their presence.
Along the way, they spoke of many things.
Past memories, present stories, and visions of the future.
Until, when they reached the edge of the Fourth Star Ring, Grandmaster Bai departed.
Before leaving, Xu Qing's first teacher gave him two items.
The first was a seed.
"Xu Qing, when you return to Wanggu, if Chen Feiyuan and Ting Yu are still alive, ask them if they would like to come to me."
"If they agree, plant this seed for them. When the flower blooms, its fragrance will guide them to me."
"And if they have already passed away?" Xu Qing asked softly.
"Then plant this seed before their graves."
Grandmaster Bai's voice was hoarse.
The second item he gave Xu Qing was a lantern.
