On this day, Huang Family Town was bustling with excitement. Little Fourth Huang, Huang Laogen's fourth son who had disappeared for several months, had returned. He had brought back a multitude of material possessions, packed into large and small boxes. It seemed he had lucked out big time and made a fortune.
Huang Laogen's household was a carnival of activity. Anyone with a shred of relation or familiarity flocked to his residence to congratulate him.
The center of attention, Little Fourth Huang, also known as Huang Yongkang, the youthful hero, sneaked off to the outskirts of the town, visiting an old dilapidated temple.
Just a few months prior, it was here that he encountered his karmic opportunity and embarked on the path of cultivation.
If it were not for that ethereal couple, he would have been just like any common child, stuck in the inconsequential town of Huang Family, oblivious to the expansive universe and the mystical immortal methods.
