Not to mention, having reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, activating the Black Flame Eye at this point would have a decisive effect on securing victory in this realm!

The improvement in his overall combat strength is far more than just a little bit!

After helping Huo Yun stabilize her cultivation level, Lin Xiuyuan instructed her to look after the cave for a few days and to use her spare time to improve her alchemy skills. He also told her that she could use any experience jade slips she needed or go to the Trial Tower, and he would do his best to assist her.

In the past, Lin Xiuyuan did not lack resources, and with Huo Yun's cultivation level, he could only refine low- to mid-grade Golden Essence Pills or Yang Law Pills. The latter had a pitifully low success rate and did not help him much. Because his cultivation level improved slowly, he was allowed to focus on cultivation.

Now that Huo Yun has broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, with her innate and wondrous spiritual fire, as long as her alchemy skills improve, she will be able to barely refine high-grade Yangfa Pills, and at least guarantee the success rate of mid-grade Yangfa Pills, which will be of great help to him.

Lin Xiuyuan has enough resources now, but it's already a bit of a struggle. He also needs to maintain the cultivation of three kinds of spirit beasts, so he naturally needs Huo Yun's help.

Moreover, to be realistic, Huo Yun's cultivation is progressing so slowly that by the time he breaks through to the Purple Mansion stage, it's uncertain whether he'll even be able to reach the threshold of the later stage... Naturally, it's necessary to put her to use now to increase his gains and steadily improve himself.

Lin Xiuyuan was quite pragmatic in this regard.

After Huo Yun had stabilized her cultivation level for about half a month, Lin Xiuyuan left the cave and headed to the back mountain.

Lin Xiuyuan did not go to Wangyang Mountain, but instead went to a small hill on the outskirts first.

This is the location of Wang Qiuhe's cave.

Since I became a disciple and was invited to visit, we found that discussing the Dao of Talismans was very beneficial to both of us, so we often sat down and discussed the Dao.

Having not seen Zhou Qingxue for several years, and having just returned from Zhou Jianwen's place, I thought I'd drop by to visit her.

The light just landed in front of Wang Qiuhe's cave.

Then they saw a pavilion in the open space in front of the cave, where two young girls were sitting, laughing and playing.

Upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan's escape light arrive, the two girls immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Cousin Xiuyuan."

"Senior Lin."

Lin Xiuyuan nodded slightly and said, "Qingxue, Miss Qiuyu."

The other girl looked to be about the same age as Zhou Qingxue, but her temperament and personality were quite different.

Zhou Qingxue appears more youthful and lively, while this woman seems more gentle and quiet.

This Wang Qiuyu was her close friend from the Wang family, and also Wang Qiuhe's cousin. They were very close, and she was also one of the direct descendants of the Wang family, so she was naturally qualified to enter the family cave of the Yunxiao Sect to cultivate.

It is because of this connection that Zhou Qingxue has been temporarily residing in the Wang family's ancestral cave for many years.
