Chapter 1129: The Timescape is an Old Guest
In the minor world in the shrine hall in Li City was a wooden building. It had a utilitarian interior. There was a desk, a chair, and a wooden cot. In addition, there was some calligraphy hanging on the wall.
“Like a pious guest, he searched for a temple that might not exist.”

Fire still burned outside. The scroll painting in the pill cauldron was being assimilated by the sea of flames, causing it to glitter with mysterious light. It sounded like there was a voice coming from inside the scroll. It was very faint.
“What... did I forget? Was it worth it? That same saying again? Maybe I should have someone to help me send a message out of here.”
The voice faded away into the crackling of the fire.

The fire burned hotter and brighter. As a result, the roof above the clay pot was bright red. The medicinal liquid was getting hotter and more viscous. Occasionally bubbles would rise to the surface and pop, causing a medicinal aroma to fill the simple wooden room. The room wasn’t very large, but it did have several cabinets full of medicinal ingredients.
In the middle of the room were two people. One was an old man. One was younger.
The old man wore a navy blue robe and had long white hair. The passage of time had left his face numb, and he currently sat in a rocking chair looking out at the setting sun. It was hard to tell what he was thinking about.
The young man looked at the old man for a while. Eventually, he couldn’t hold back from speaking.
