The first disciple of the Three Pure Ones, Little Sizi's immortal brother

After Taiqing left, Shiming found a place in the cave heaven that was relatively close to Taiqing's cave dwelling and built a cave dwelling there.

Shi Ming didn't pay much attention to this, after all, according to his memory, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in this cave for very long.

Let's save the fine work for when we get to Shouyang Mountain, or maybe when our cultivation is higher, we can try to have one or two disciples enlightened and have them help with the tidying up.

Having just acquired so many spiritual treasures, some of which still lack the necessary restrictions, now that I'm settled, I naturally need to seize the time to refine the restrictions, thus enriching my methods of combat.

After all, I can't live under the protection of the Three Pure Ones forever; that would be too pathetic.

However, considering that all those after the Three Pure Ones are sages...

It seems... not bad?

Forget it, how could I think like that? My background is quite impressive, so I shouldn't think about these things anymore.

At this stage, I am a Taiyi Golden Immortal, which is definitely not enough for me to completely refine all the restrictions on these spiritual treasures, but I will refine as many as I can.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another thousand years have passed.

Having initially refined the other spiritual treasures (excluding those derived from himself) to about 20% completion, Shi Ming opened his eyes, which had been closed, and returned the Water Spirit Pearl in his hand to his body.

As expected of an innate spiritual treasure, the innate undying spiritual light within it greatly helps cultivators comprehend the relevant laws of heaven and earth. At least during the refining process, Shi Ming gained some understanding of the laws other than the laws of time and creation.

Just then, the image of a child suddenly appeared in Shi Ming's mind.

It was Li Mingda, the little girl she met a thousand years ago when she accidentally fell into another world.

"A thousand years have passed. Now, not to mention that little girl, even the Tang Dynasty itself has probably long been submerged in the torrent of history, hasn't it?"

Thinking about this, Shi Ming felt a sense of loss and change, and a desire to go to that world to see it. As a result, his understanding of the laws of time began to waver.

All of the whims and impulses of the prehistoric world are not without reason, at least not for people at their level.

With this in mind, Shi Ming prepared to set off.

With a gentle touch of his primordial spirit, Shi Ming vanished from his spot the next moment.

Inside Fengyang Pavilion—

"Well……"

"Your Highness is awake. Would you like me to help you wash up?"

"Uh-huh……"

Sizi stretched out a hand towards the palace maid, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Turning her head, she saw that the palace maid seemed to be frozen in place, completely still. But upon seeing the figure standing behind the palace maid, Xiao Sizi's eyes lit up with surprise, and she pulled back the covers, intending to jump out of bed.

Shi Ming also snapped out of his daze and quickly scooped Xiao Sizi, who had jumped off the bed, back up.

"Little Fairy, did you come to see the persimmons?" Little Sizi sat on the edge of the bed, his two little feet swinging back and forth.

"Hmm." Shi Ming nodded blankly, still trying to figure out what was going on.

Did he open a passage between the two worlds, or did he simply travel through time?

Based on what we've seen, it's clear that time here is not parallel to the primordial world at a 1:1 ratio, nor is it 1:365.

Little Sizi doesn't look much different from when I came last time. Children at this age are growing rapidly, and their appearance changes almost every year, so I'm pretty sure I haven't been gone from this world for more than a year.

But judging from the location and the people, time doesn't seem to have stood still. On the contrary, at least a day, or rather... a night, should have passed?

Putting that aside, the time I spent in the prehistoric world this time was measured in millennia!

Moreover, Shi Ming discovered something that bothered him greatly.

Over the years, he has gradually learned to sense the luck while refining the restrictions of spiritual treasures, and now there is a faint connection between the luck on his body and that of the little rhinoceros!

And judging from the looks of it, it seems that I am the beneficiary?

Is there such a thing as luck in this world?

Si Zi, sitting on the edge of the bed, pouted when she saw that her fairy little pouch was ignoring her.

"Little Nang-kun~"

"Hmm?" Shi Ming's attention was brought back by a soft, sweet voice, and he looked at the cute little girl in front of him.

Looking at Sizi up close, one can't help but admire her exquisite appearance; it's clear at a glance that she's destined to be a beauty.

This made Shi Ming even consider asking Nuwa for advice on sculpting human figures...

"Little Nang-kun, can you take Shizi out to play? Please, Little Nang-kun~" Sizi grabbed Shiming's arm and shook it as if she had no idea how to do it.

At this moment, Shi Ming's heart almost melted. It seemed that his cultivation was still insufficient, as he could still be so easily affected in his mind...

But it doesn't matter. I'm from the Taiqing sect, and what I value is a clear mind and a natural way of doing things!

"Okay, where does Little Sizi want to go play?" Without realizing it, Shi Ming adopted a tone of coaxing a child.

"Yay, Little Pouch is all set!"

Shi Ming smiled as he watched the jubilant Si Zi and asked, "Where does little Si Zi want to go to play?"

"Can the persimmons be taken outside the palace?"

Si Zi asked expectantly. Although Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun doted on Si Zi, it was precisely because of this doting that Si Zi was strictly forbidden from leaving the palace, as it was too dangerous.

At this stage, Li Shimin is not without enemies. Aristocratic families and some hidden forces are still eager to make moves, but they are all wary of Li Shimin's abilities, which is why they are relatively well-behaved.

But dealing with a small child is incredibly easy.

The persimmon was rather obedient, and after Li Shimin dissuaded it several times, the rhinoceros stopped mentioning it. But now, the appearance of Shi Ming has given the rhinoceros some hope.

Perhaps the celestial being, Little Pouch, has a solution!

Are these... problems for Shi Ming?

Absolutely not!

Even if Shi Ming bound them up with both hands and feet, and all the aristocratic families together, they still couldn't withstand a single angry shout from Shi Ming...

"Of course, where would you like to go, Sizi?"

"Hmm... I don't know about persimmons..."

Shi Ming was speechless. It was likely that Si Zi had never been out much since childhood. Even if he had, he was probably under Li Shimin's nose, so it was normal that he didn't know.

"Then let's go hiking, what do you think, Sizi?"

"Okay, okay, Persimmon is willing!"

"Then let me help Sizi change her clothes first." Shi Ming waved his hand, and a light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) replaced Sizi's pajamas.
