The update is over, there will be more in a while.

Wang Lin's heart was warm. This month, he had been used to the ridicule and ridicule of others. Now that he was home, he immediately felt the care his parents had for him.
"Second Brother, Wang Lin is already an Immortal's disciple. Sixth Brother was blind and said a few harsh words. Second Brother, please don't take it seriously. You know me, I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. It's all for the good of Wang Lin."
"Second Sister-in-law, when my daughter heard that I didn't arrange a marriage for her, she became anxious. No matter what, she wants to marry your Tie Zhu. Do you think we should fix this marriage?"
"Second Brother, Fifth Uncle is old. The Wang Family will depend on you in the future. In this life, Fifth Uncle values your child the most. He has a promising future. To be honest, I think he's even more promising than your eldest brother's son."
Wang Lin's parents were glowing. Not long after, the birthday banquet began. All the relatives who came were full of praise for Wang Lin. After drinking a few cups of wine, they loudly complained about the injustice of Wang Lin's father's inheritance. No matter what, they wanted to unite and fight for his share. Wang Lin's father smiled. He did not take it seriously. He knew these relatives too well.
More importantly, he no longer cared about what happened in the past. He only hoped that his son could become better and better. He had no other wishes.
After a lively day, at dusk, all the relatives left one after another. Wang Lin looked at the large and small gifts in his yard and sighed with emotion. It was often said in books that when a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. He now completely understood this saying.
At night, Wang Lin's parents asked him about life in the sect. Wang Lin looked at his parents' expectant eyes and lied to them for the first time. He described how he was popular in the sect and how he cultivated. His parents were so happy that they could not close their mouths.
For his parents, no matter how hard it was to be a nominal disciple, no matter how others ridiculed him, he gritted his teeth and endured it. After all, his parents had never been as happy as they were today.
"Isn't it just ten years? I'll endure it!" Wang Lin made up his mind.
Wang Lin stayed at home with his parents for two days. On the morning of the third day, as his parents and all the villagers sent him off, he stuck the Immortal Talisman on his leg and left.
Even when he was far away, the envious words of the villagers were still echoing in his ears.
Today, the sky was gloomy, and dark clouds covered the sky. It was as if a large stone was pressing against one's heart. Thunder rumbled in the sky from time to time, and the humidity in the mountains increased greatly. Mist even appeared.
Wang Lin couldn't help but speed up and finally arrived at the Heng Yue Sect late at night.
Lying on the bed, Zhang Hu was still sleeping soundly. Wang Lin tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep. At midnight, thunder rumbled outside and lightning flashed across the room, illuminating everything in the room. Wang Lin touched the bead in his pocket. This time, he asked his mother to sew an inner pocket in his clothes and put the bead inside.
Taking out the stone bead from the inner pocket, Wang Lin looked at it with the light of the oil lamp. Suddenly, his expression changed. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the cloud pattern on the bead.
"That's not right. I remember last time I saw it, there were five clouds, but now there are six?" Wang Lin was surprised. He sat up and carefully counted. There were indeed six white clouds.
He was surprised, but couldn't think of the reason. He became more and more curious about the bead. Carefully putting it back in his pocket, Wang Lin blew out the oil lamp and went to sleep with questions in his mind.
Outside, the wind was howling, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, causing the windows in the room to flutter. Wang Lin, who was sleeping, was awakened by a burst of cold air. The moment he opened his eyes, he was stunned.
A series of lightning bolts illuminated everything. The room was filled with a thick mist. The table, the floor, and even the bed were wet. However, other than his chest, Wang Lin's body was not wet. He quickly looked at Zhang Hu and saw that Zhang Hu's body was covered in white frost. His clothes were soaked, and his body was covered in frost. His eyes were closed, his face was purple, and his teeth were chattering.
"Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu!"
Wang Lin was shocked and quickly got up. After pushing and shoving for a long time, Zhang Hu did not show any signs of waking up. Even his breathing was faintly discernible.
In his anxiety, Wang Lin was about to go out and find other disciples to help. At this moment, he suddenly stopped and touched his clothes. His heart was filled with doubt.
"Why is it that in the same room, and the bedding can be wrung out of water, but when I am lying on it, other than my chest, the rest of my clothes are not wet?"
Wang Lin's heart jumped. He looked down at his chest and his eyes flashed. He quickly took out the mysterious bead.
At this moment, all the water droplets in the room began to tremble and slowly floated up. Even Zhang Hu's body emitted a white mist, forming water droplets that floated in the air.
At this time, another bolt of lightning flashed. Wang Lin was shocked to find that the water droplets were shining brightly. They suddenly turned into crystal points and quickly gathered towards the mysterious bead in his hand.
Wang Lin hurriedly threw the bead and squatted on the ground to avoid the water droplets that shot towards him.
The mysterious stone bead drew an arc in the air and finally fell to the ground and rolled to the side. All the water droplets quickly landed on it and disappeared into the bead.
Not long after, all the water in the room disappeared. Even the damp bedding became dry. Zhang Hu's breathing also slowly returned to normal. His clothes were all wrinkled and stuck to his body.
After a long time, although there was still a thunderstorm outside, the sky was no longer dark. There was a faint moonlight shining down. Wang Lin stood up and hesitated for a moment. He carefully picked up the mysterious bead and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he discovered something different.
The number of clouds above had increased to seven!
The scene just now made him curious about the mysterious bead, but also a trace of fear. If he had not woken up in time to take out the bead, Zhang Hu might have been implicated and frozen to death.
As for why he was fine, Wang Lin thought for a moment. He attributed it to the fact that he often drank the mountain spring water and dew that was soaked in the bead.
However, Wang Lin was very interested in the clouds on the bead. He really wanted to know what these clouds were used for. After thinking for a long time, he gave up on the idea of letting the bead absorb the rain outside. He was worried that if the scene was too big, it would attract other people's attention.
After hesitating for a moment, he carefully placed the bead in his inner pocket. Not long after, the sky gradually brightened. Wang Lin was about to go to the chore office when Zhang Hu suddenly somersaulted out of bed and shouted, "Water, water, I'm dying of thirst."
