The airport was very close to Mount Santai, and the car took about half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

From a distance, Ge Dongxu could see a hotel built against the mountain.

In the hotel, there was a cluster of villas hidden among the trees, a rolling green golf course, and a large artificial lake.

Willow trees shaded the area around the artificial lake, and a cobblestone path meandered mysteriously through it.

"Director Ge, ahead is the best resort hotel on Mount Santai, the Santai Mountain Golf Hotel. It covers more than two thousand acres and was built by the Santai Sect with a huge investment two years ago. The two provinces' Qimen exchange conference will be held here," Yang Xiangrong explained.

"This place is nice, a good spot for cultivation," Ge Dongxu nodded and thought to himself that Xu Lei was right, most people in Qimen were indeed wealthy.

This Santai Mountain Golf Hotel, even if the land was cheap, in Ge Dongxu's opinion, couldn't be built without an investment of two hundred million.

And two hundred million was definitely a huge amount in today's era.

"Exactly, it indeed is a good spot for cultivation. Nowadays, with worldly splendor thriving and Daoist practices declining, very few people can retreat to the deep mountains to practice like before. Even for a deep-rooted old Sect like the Santai Sect in Dongyue Province, it's the same. Very few disciples remain at Santai Peak and Santai Daoist Temple to practice, apart from a few elders and most senior elders, and some disciples who reluctantly stay on the mountain to serve and manage the Daoist temple. Other Sect disciples have long lost the intention to stay on the mountain to live a secluded and austere life, which is why there's the Santai Mountain Golf Hotel," Yang Xiangrong explained.

"I see, engaging with the world while cultivating is not a bad approach," Ge Dongxu nodded.

"Indeed, now the Santai Daoist Temple on the isolated peak is cold and empty with few disciples, while this hotel has gathered many disciples of the Santai Sect. The Sect leader even personally holds the title of chairman and practices and works here all year round, making this hotel seem more like the main base of the Santai Sect," Yang Xiangrong shook his head, somewhat emotional.

As they spoke, the car entered the hotel's outer gate.

Clearly, the hotel management had already arranged rooms specifically for the Special Ability Management Bureau. Yang Xiangrong did not take Ge Dongxu to the lobby. After entering the gate, they directly followed a forest path and after several turns through lush greenery, they arrived at a villa built along the lake.

"Director Ge, this is your villa. The villas of Xu and myself are on your left and right side. You must be tired from the trip, so please rest for a bit. Would you like me to take you to meet some fellow practitioners later, or would you prefer to walk around and enjoy the scenery of Mount Santai?" Yang Xiangrong helped carry Ge Dongxu's bag into the villa, briefly introduced the layout of the villa and some of the call service features, then respectfully asked for instructions.

"You are the head of the Special Ability Management Bureau in Dongyue Province, so you're effectively a host here, and must be busy with many things. Just attend to your duties, and Xu Lei, you do the same. I'll just wander around by myself. If there's anything, I'll give you a call," Ge Dongxu, not accustomed to being attended to like a leader, smiled and waved his hand.

Yang Xiangrong, not knowing Ge Dongxu's character, dared not say more and looked towards Xu Lei.

Xu Lei, understanding Ge Dongxu's casual and unpretentious nature, nodded slightly and said, "Then, we won't disturb you. Call us if you need anything. I won't notify the Santai Sect for now to prevent disturbing your peace. However, tomorrow, when seniors like Lv Xinghai are present, they will definitely want to meet you, and I won't be able to help then."

"Haha, let's worry about tomorrow when it comes. Today, let me move freely on my own," Ge Dongxu laughed.

Since he had come to attend the two provinces exchange conference, Ge Dongxu naturally had some preparations in mind.

"All right, then we'll take our leave." Xu Lei said with a smile and a nod, then led Yang Xiangrong and the others away from Ge Dongxu's villa.

After Xu Lei and the others had left, Ge Dongxu had no reason to rest. He put away his things, washed his face briefly, and then strolled out of the villa alone, walking around the man-made lake.

When he had driven in earlier, he had not seen many people on the road, but by the lakeside, under the shade of willow trees, Ge Dongxu encountered several groups of people along the way.

Almost all of these people were dressed in either black or white practice outfits, chatting in pairs or small groups, sometimes gesturing, which in this idyllic environment gave a serene ancient vibe, making one feel as if they had traveled through time.

This was Ge Dongxu's first time attending such a gathering, and seeing so many fellow practitioners naturally made him quite curious, and he couldn't help but observe them secretly.

However, what greatly disappointed Ge Dongxu was that the several groups he encountered, although appearing quite celestial and detached, with seemingly proper poses, had cultivation that was pitifully low, many even lower than Lv Chongliang's, despite being much older than him.

After encountering several such pretentious groups, Ge Dongxu lost interest in further investigation.

The man-made lake was not very large, about a hundred acres, and it didn't take long for Ge Dongxu to walk around it. Then, he gradually walked away from the lake along a shaded path.

Since it was his first visit here, Ge Dongxu wasn't particular about where he went and wandered aimlessly. Before he knew it, he had come to a golf course.

As for golf, Ge Dongxu naturally had little interest; with his cultivation level, this type of elegant sport, seen as a pastime for the wealthy in the eyes of the world, was nothing but child's play to him. He could play blindly hitting wherever he wished.

So, seeing that it was a golf course, Ge Dongxu turned around, ready to leave.

Just as Ge Dongxu turned to leave, eight young people suddenly walked out from the golf course, dressed in POLO sportswear and wearing white hats.

These eight young people, both males and females, were all quite handsome and well-built, except for one who was not only plain but also of average height and build – it was none other than Lv Chongliang, Lv Semi-Immortal.

As Lv Chongliang was laughing and walking out with the young people, he suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at the familiar figure turning to leave not far away.

"Boss?" Lv Chongliang exclaimed.

"Damn, Lv Semi-Immortal, are you feverish today? It's one thing to be bad at golf, but now you're randomly calling someone boss?" one of the youths teased, pointing at Lv Chongliang.

"Exactly!" The others joined in the jeering.

As everyone was jeering, Ge Dongxu heard Lv Semi-Immortal's shout and turned around.
