Upon hearing the complaint, a woman walked out from behind.
"Brother Changsheng, your temper is quite peculiar. When business is slow, you complain about having no customers."
"When business is good, you complain again. So, do you want business to be good or not?"
In response to Mun's words, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said, "A coffin shop's business, well, I don't want it to be too good, nor too bad."
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of Heaven's Way and Reincarnation. Too many deaths cause problems, and too few also cause problems."
"In short, it needs to be kept at a suitable level."
"By the way, where has that kid Li run off to?"
Upon hearing this, Mun placed the food on the table and said, "He's probably gone with the people from Kunlun Sacred Ground to search for a spirit source."
"Forty years ago, when we came here, you made him stay in the shop for a full twenty years."
"Twenty years ago, you let him out, so naturally, he wants to have some fun."
Listening to Mun's , Chen Changsheng slowly ate the delicious food and said, "I kept him here for twenty years, firstly to familiarize him with the environment, and secondly to train him well, at least to have some self-defense skills."
"Once he has the ability to protect himself, I naturally let him go."

"Also, you should start packing up. We should leave this place soon."
"I have a feeling that things here are about to get unsettled."
Hearing this, Mun was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "What about Li? He probably won't be back anytime soon."
"That's exactly why we should leave while he's away!"
"Li's dream is this vast world, not my little coffin shop."
"Staying by my side will only limit his growth."
"Away from me, his achievements will be greater."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's answer, Mun smiled slightly and said, "Brother Changsheng, I will always support your decisions. I'll start packing now."
"Oh dear!"
"Take your time with these things. I'm not leaving right now. Come sit down and eat."
Hearing this, Mun smiled and then sat down to have dinner with Chen Changsheng.
The two of them shared a peaceful and familiar companionship, a life they had lived for forty years.
Mun greatly enjoyed this peaceful companionship, and for her, having such companionship was enough.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Jiang Bufan from Kunlun Sacred Ground requests an audience!"
Hearing that the Holy Son from Kunlun Sacred Ground was seeking an audience, Mun immediately wanted to get up.
But Chen Changsheng stopped her.
"Ignore it, it's just trouble."
Hearing this, Mun glanced at the young man outside, but ultimately sat back down obediently.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng was ignoring him, Jiang Bufan outside the door did not get angry and just stood quietly.
As time passed, Mun cleared the tableware, and Chen Changsheng lay on a rocking chair, flipping through an ancient book.
After a long while, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Come in."
"With you, the prospective Holy Son of Kunlun Sacred Ground, standing at my door, how can I do business?"
Hearing this, Jiang Bufan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
"I came today to ask for a favor. I would like to ask you to..."
"Stop!"
Before Jiang Bufan could finish, Chen Changsheng raised his hand to stop him.
"Letting you in doesn't mean I agree to help you. I called you in to give Li a message."
"Tell him that all good things must come to an end, and the road ahead is for him to walk alone."
"Also, my abilities are limited, and I can't help Kunlun Sacred Ground with anything. You'd better find someone else."
Facing Chen Changsheng's refusal, Jiang Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you are too modest. Few in the world can match your abilities. If you can't do it, then probably no one can."
"I heard that you have always wanted to use the super teleportation array of Kunlun Sacred Ground."
"As long as you are willing to help, I am willing to persuade the Sacred Ground to lend you the super teleportation array."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng squinted his eyes.
"It seems you've investigated me quite thoroughly!"
"Hahaha!"
"To invite you to take action, how can it be done without offering a corresponding price?"
"But I wonder if this price is satisfactory to you?"
Seeing Jiang Bufan's confident demeanor, Chen Changsheng said coldly, "You indeed offered something tempting. I really can't refuse you."
"Come back in three days. I need to prepare some things."
"No problem, I will visit you again in three days."
After speaking, Jiang Bufan turned and left the coffin shop.
Watching Jiang Bufan's back, Mun asked worriedly, "Sir, are you really going to help him?"
Originally, Mun thought Chen Changsheng would analyze a bunch of reasons why he had to go, but Chen Changsheng just waved his hand and said, "Help him? I was just fooling him."
Mun: ???
"Brother Changsheng, didn't you agree to meet him in three days?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng got up, stretched lazily, and said, "If I didn't agree to meet him in three days, how would I have time to prepare to run away?"
"The reason I stayed at Kunlun Sacred Ground in the first place was because I was interested in its unique spirit source."
"Spirit Stones are mined from veins, but the spirit source is an even more precious resource."
"Not only does it contain extremely pure spiritual energy, but it also seals various ancient items."
"But after understanding the origin of the spirit source, I lost interest in it."
"Because the places where spirit sources are born are all ominous places, and now Kunlun Sacred Ground is even exploring the Sacred Ruins, the Forbidden Zone of Forbidden Zones."
"I'd have to be crazy to help them!"
Hearing this, Mun thought for a moment and said, "But Brother Changsheng, without the super teleportation array, how will you return to the Eastern Wasteland?"
"Currently, we're in the Central Court, and the two places are millions of miles apart!"
"So what if it's millions of miles? As long as we walk slowly, we'll get there eventually."
"I originally wanted to use Spirit Stones to exchange for the opportunity to use the super teleportation array, but now it seems that won't work."
"Alright, Mun, you start packing up. I'm going to Butterfly Valley."
After speaking, Chen Changsheng left the small coffin shop.
......
Butterfly Valley.
"Old Yao, I've come to see you again!"
Chen Changsheng's voice echoed in a picturesque valley.
After a moment, an elderly man with a kind face, white hair, and a white beard walked out of a thatched hut.
"You came at the right time. I just finished translating the Heaven-Mending Ointment the day before yesterday."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "I knew you could do it, Old Yao. It wasn't in vain that I waited for you for forty years."
"Enough with the flattery. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to decipher the Heaven-Mending Ointment even in four hundred years."
