With that, the passion and hope that had once filled their hearts had almost completely worn away.
When they returned to the village with heavy hearts, what they saw were the joyful smiles of the villagers. The old village chief took Da Zhuang's hand and said, "Good lad, you've finally done something great for the villagers. The Immortal Elder you invited is truly remarkable."
At this moment, Da Zhuang was utterly confused, having no idea where the Immortal Elder mentioned by the village chief had come from.
"Dad, what Immortal Elder are you talking about?"
"You silly boy, have you lost your mind? It's the Taoist priest you invited from the city. He's truly an extraordinary Immortal, easily subduing the monster in the lake and even establishing a Stone Pagoda to protect our village before riding off into the clouds," the village chief recounted Lin Fang's deeds with great excitement.
