Immortal Ascension Quest: Rescuing the Charcoal Seller

Volume One: Love's Ordeal

Become an immortal? One night, an old man dressed in white, with a long white beard, appears and tells her that after ten lifetimes she has accumulated one hundred thousand merits and can become an immortal. Wow, that's amazing!

But before that, she has to complete a task, and it's the kind where failure means death. To save her own skin, maybe... forget it!

"Everything is fated, and not a bit of it is up to us! If you refuse this task, the old coal seller will lose his life. Can you really bear that?" The Great Immortal Dule said, stroking his white beard.

His sighs, his mournful words, his teardrops: every one of them tugged at her fiery heart. She simply couldn't bring herself to turn her back on him.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll take the task!"

Feeling the Divine Phoenix Pendant calling to her, Huohong remembered her other mission: helping the old man with the white beard recover the Divine Phoenix Pendant he had lost in the mortal world. But this ancient sacred relic was safely tucked away in the arms of the eldest young master of the Wen family! How was she supposed to get it back?

For over twenty years, he had never given women a second thought. But this strange woman who appeared out of nowhere forced him to take notice. Her every move tugged at his heart, and he was sure he hated that feeling. If he didn't want to worry himself sick over her, then the only choice was to tie her to his side.

Volume Two: The Ordeal of Death

She manages to recover the Divine Phoenix Pendant, but why do mysterious men in black keep appearing around her? Good heavens, every one of them looks murderous!

Ow! She takes an arrow straight on! Huh? Why isn't she dead? It turns out the jade pendant in her arms saved her life. It's shattered, but she'd better keep it anyway!

That damn girl actually slipped away! He'll search every mountain and river until he finds her and ties her to his side.

Volume Three: Heavenly Tribulation

Ha! She really can control a divine artifact. She can save people and heal the sick, and she has quite a bit of magical power. She's even much stronger now! But...

"It's not that you've mastered the divine artifact. The artifact has mastered you. Alas!" The old man with the white beard's words leave her baffled once again. What's the difference? She can use the artifact, can't she?

At last, she finds Jade Jiao, her grandfather's beloved. Her task to become an immortal is finally complete. But when the old man with the white beard is about to take her away, she finds herself thinking of his devotion.

He has worked so hard for her all this time. Shouldn't she make an effort for him, just once?
