After receiving the Golden Carp Dragon Pill from Xu Changqing, Lu Mingyuan bid farewell to the White-robed Celestial Master.
He then went to the Imperial Kitchen to get some minced meat and dumpling wrappers before returning to Qingzhu Hall.
Today was the Little New Year, and in a few days, it would be New Year's Eve. It was a time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Spring couplets, door gods—everything had to be prepared in advance.
In previous years, the New Year had always felt lonely. It was because he hadn't truly integrated into this world yet, and he did everything with a sense of trepidation.
Now, if not for the lingering memories of his past life, he would have almost forgotten that he didn't originally belong to this world.
What Xu Changqing had called his "strange fate" was based on this very point. While the effect of his "Hidden Qi" trait was a factor, the greater reason was that the body's original birth chart did not belong to him.
