Welcome to a new edition of the Sunset Inn Messageboard! We hope you had the chance to celebrate the Dragon Boat festival, tasting the delicious texture and flavour of homemade zongzi. If not, at least you'll be happy to learn the recipe is available in Immortal Life to cook this traditional Chinese dish whenever you want.
Now, let’s get straight to the point: as the July update is built upon several elements of the upcoming June updates, we'll be needing more time to finish such amount of job in the best way possible. Of course, the Alpha branch will be receiving these updates for testing purposes and we’ll let you when it happens in the future announcement.
Now, here’s a little reminder of what’s to come to Immortal Life later this month:
Mid-June
You will find an introductory quest to unlock the Turtle Mill mentioned in the Sunset Inn Messageboard Vol. 3, which is a premium version of the classic Stone Mill.
The Yuhua Mystic Realm will be added to the game as a first step into your adventures through the rest of the Jiufeng State.
New items (White wood ear, Lotus root...) and recipes will be added too!
If Li Mengqing became one of your favorite characters of the game, you’ll surely enjoy learning her story in a brand-new mission!
There will be a new Trade Road to Fanhua Valley, with new furniture designs in the Fanhua set.
Late June
Pet System: raise, feed, pet and train your new animal friends and share together a lot of special moments in your time at the Misty Valley. Every pet will have extra bag slots to help you carry more items.
Go Deep in the Sunset Forest to discover all its secrets. It’s also a great opportunity to learn the story of the mysterious woman you found there, Song Yantong.
It’s time to raise Silkworms and Bees!
We will add Silkworm House to this version, so you can take care of your little friends there. And that’s not the only part of this system: plant and collect Mulberry leaves to feed them, and also collect the Silkworm cocoons. After the Silk is ready, the next feature coming up would be making clothes. We are preparing 20 different outfits both for male and female in this update!
We will add the Beehive Box in this update for you to take care of the bees. Also, depending on what flowers you plant the bees will produce different types of honey. It will have an impact on the cooking system, since we’ll be adding new recipes based on this change.
Of course, there’s more to come — but we’re keeping it secret for now! The definitive roadmap for July and August will be revealed in late June. Feel free to ask us any questions you may have about the content described above, or leave suggestions in the comments section. We'll always be happy to receive your feedback.
Have a great week! YiFang Studio & 2P Games

Patch V.0.4.41: New improvements and bug fixes
Hello there, brothers and sisters:
We're happy to announce the release of a new content, optimization & bug fixing patch, now available for everyone in the Default branch. Without further ado, here’s the full list of changes you’ll find in Immortal Life v.0.4.41:
New Content
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming up (June 3rd)! We hope you’re willing to get your hands dirty in the kitchen, because Li Mengqing will teach you to prepare Zongzi to celebrate this special day. You'll receive it after the Grain Buds period in a Paper Crane.
In gratitude for building the Qiongzhen Pavilion, Ji Yaohua will hand you a tool called ‘Shennong Scythe’. With this artifact, you could quickly collect crops.
You can now use a new type of Irriwell to water a 5x5 patch of soil.
A brand-new watering system that works automatically 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And the best part is, it doesn’t consume your MP — thank Wei Hong later! We also adjust the size of the watering equipment, so they won’t block your sight for checking the field.
The Air-Drying Rack is ready for you, with new quests and new cooking recipes on the way. Please don’t play the kitchen mini-game with the new cooking recipe yet, it would crash the game.
A new tag for Monsters was added to the Collection Manual.

That’s all on our side for now! We’ll be back very soon with new changes based on your valuable feedback and much more. Also, remember the game will receive a very important Major Update in June.
If there’s any bug fix or feature you miss, don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments section. Also, you can join 2P Games Discord server and leave your questions and suggestions there! We’ll be happy to read them.

Alpha Branch Patch Note Vol.1
Greetings, fellow brothers and sisters!
After a several weeks of intensive development, we’re now glad to present you with our latest content patch – fresh from the oven! But before we push this update to the default branch which would allow everyone play it, it needs to be tested as much as possible in order to prevent major bugs from ruining your game experience.
Those who join the Alpha branch will be able to try our current version, which might contain several undetected bugs and optimization issues, and help us polish it little by little. As a preliminary warning, please note that any progress linked to the Alpha version will corrupt your save files if you move to the Default branch again before the final update is released. If you're still interested in this option, follow the instructions below to switch the branch by yourself:
HOW TO JOIN THE ALPHA BRANCH OF IMMORTAL LIFE
Step 1: For your safety, start backing up your save files!
This is the most important step as the files of the Alpha branch that will be saved in your Cloud storage will replace those you saved locally, damaging them permanently in the process. To prevent this, disable the Cloud Saving feature and visit the following path to copy the folder with your local saves to another safe location in your computer. Don’t switch to the Alpha test before taking this step.
Save Path: [Steam Library Path]/common/一方灵田/SavesDir/[A folder with numbers in its name]
Step 2: Switch the branch from your Steam library
Right-click Immortal Life in your Steam Library.
Choose Properties…
Choose BETAS tab in the Properties menu.
Enter the code, zhongtian2022 and click Check Code.
Click the select button and choose alpha – alpha test to activate the new branch.
You want to switch back? No problem, click the drop-down menu again and choose none – it will take you back to the Default branch.
