Li Mu took his family on a road trip without making any specific travel plans.

Starting from Jiangcheng, you can stop and explore as you please.

Six months later, the family had actually traveled the entire Sichuan-Tibet Highway in their RV.

If there's one thing that was most rewarding about this trip, it's that Little August learned a lot about taking care of herself.

Although luxury RVs have all kinds of facilities, their space is limited.

Whenever the little guy gets punished by the king, he skips his dad and goes to his grandparents for backup.

After several attempts, the grandparents also started to bury their heads in the sand, either pretending to be busy, or pretending to be deaf or asleep.

When she lost her powerful backer, she had no choice but to submit to the king and begin to learn to take care of herself.

I have to take care of everything myself, from dressing to eating. If I don't eat properly, I'll really go hungry.

Occasionally, I also have to help clean the house, give everyone a back massage, and earn work points.

They then used the earned points to exchange for the right to watch television.

After half a year and having seen so many sights, Li Mu's state of mind has changed somewhat.

In this easygoing and harmonious family atmosphere, his spirit was elevated in a certain way.

Cultivation is not about relentlessly pursuing ever stronger; sometimes taking a break is not a bad thing.

In half a year, although his cultivation level could not be increased, his dantian expanded considerably.

In other words, when he couldn't grow vertically, he actually grew horizontally.

The expansion of his dantian also significantly increased his strength, thus making his foundation in Dao more stable.

If he were to encounter Feng Xi again at this moment, he could kill him instantly.

He was confident he could defeat even an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

.

The family returned to Jiangcheng, where they were greeted by a pair of resentful eyes.

After graduating, Li Xuan found an internship at a law firm and then began her nine-to-five working life.

If Li Lin hadn't affectionately called her "Auntie" and opened her arms for a hug, the little girl would probably have complained for a while.

The whole family is gone, leaving her alone to look after the house. How could she not feel resentful?

After the little guy showered her with compliments, Li Xuan finally smiled, and all her unhappiness vanished.

A few days after returning home, Li Mu went out alone again.

I went to Xishan, Yanjing, and Hengduan Mountains.

He timed his departure perfectly; it was the night of the full moon.

After observing the teleportation array for another night, the situation remained the same; the teleportation array still could not be activated.

As the time he spent apart from Yue Ling increased, his guilt grew deeper and deeper.

He longed to be reunited with his wife, but alas, they were separated by two places, an insurmountable barrier.

Even if we want to get news of Yue Ling, it takes three years, and we still have to wait a few months until the three-year period is over.

In a few months, the Xu family's teleportation array will be activated again.

He believed that because of the life-saving grace he had received last time, whoever from the Xu family came would bring news of Yue Ling.

If the Xu family were more generous, they might even give up a teleportation opportunity and let Yue Ling teleport over.

However, Li Mu did not make such a request last time, and Xu Mingyu did not dare to make a promise on her own.

After returning home from the Hengduan Mountains, Li Mu resumed his frantic alchemy practice.

Even if he couldn't meet Yue Ling in person, providing her with cultivation resources was enough to fulfill his duty as a husband.

Starting in August, Li Mu became restless.

Although he remained silent, Lin Hongluan saw it all.

At this moment, Lin Hongluan's cultivation had broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and she could sense the subtle changes in her husband.

So, in early September, she made a tough decision and sent her two-year-old daughter to kindergarten.

She wanted to go with Li Mu to the teleportation array to see what a solution could be found.

More importantly, I can spend more time with him.

She had a feeling that Li Mu was very likely to leave for a while.

.

Beyond the realm of the divine lands, in the Northern Cold Palace.

With ample cultivation resources, Yue Ling's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds.

In three years, her cultivation level had reached the early stage of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

During those three years, besides cultivating, she occasionally went out to gather herbs and refine elixirs.

He had already collected quite a few herbs, including two Xuanbing Grass.

She packed all the rare medicinal herbs into a jade box, intending to present them as a gift to her husband when they met.

He had a good talent for alchemy; however, Li Mu didn't give him many pill formulas, except for those for Qi-Nourishing Pills and healing pills.

Now, the Qi-Nourishing Pill she refines has reached the superior grade.

Because of the pills she refined, all the disciples of Beihan Palace benefited greatly.

As August approached, she also felt somewhat uneasy.

Occasionally, she would sit in a daze, staring at photos of Li Mu and Lin Hongluan, her longing for them overwhelming.

When a servant announced the arrival of the young master of the Treasure Pavilion, she became excited.

She thought Xu Shiheng had brought her news of her husband, but after meeting him, she learned that he had come to ask if she had anything to give to Li Mu.

After a conversation, Yue Ling learned that the Xu family's teleportation array was about to be activated, and looked at Xu Shiheng with some hope.

She longed to see her husband so much. If she could use the Xu family's teleportation array to get out, she could realize her dream of a family reunion.

For her, Li Mu was her only family. As long as she could be with her husband, it didn't matter where they lived.

Xu Shiheng witnessed Yue Ling and Li Mu's story and felt great sympathy for their plight.

Looking at his sister-in-law's hopeful and pleading eyes, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. In any case, he wanted to go home and try to win her over.

So the two of them returned to Fuxing City together.

.

After Yue Ling arrived in Fuxing City, Xu Shiheng arranged for her to stay at his family's inn.

Unexpectedly, Yue Ling stayed in the inn waiting for half a month.

In the past two weeks, Xu Shiheng had visited several times, but all he could do was tell her to continue to wait patiently; there was no other news.

The Xu family basically agreed to give up the teleportation slot to Yue Ling, but there were some details that made them very concerned.

The Xu family's teleportation array can only teleport one person at a time, forming a closed loop.

Back then, Xu Mingyang, the second son of the Xu family, died in an accident and lost a teleportation artifact.

If the teleportation slot is given to Yue Ling, the question arises as to how to return the only teleportation artifact currently available.

After cultivating and waiting at the inn for a while, Yue Ling left the inn and went to the Treasure Pavilion.

Although she was inexperienced in the ways of the world, she understood human relationships and wanted to use the Xu family's teleportation array so that she could do something for the Xu family to make amends.

Currently, the only thing she can do is refine pills.

Upon learning that the pills sold at the Treasure Pavilion were all medicinal pills, she had an idea.

When Xu Shiheng came again, she offered to help the Treasure Pavilion refine pills for free.

During the ensuing wait, Yue Ling began frantically refining pills, producing either Qi-Nourishing Pills or healing pills.

Because she only knows these two methods at the moment.

These two types of pills are precisely the pills that cultivators need the most, and the Xu family was overjoyed.

Before we knew it, it was October, and the Xu family's teleportation array still showed no signs of being activated.

While the Xu family was happy that Yue Ling helped them refine a large number of pills, a shadow fell over their hearts.

If the teleportation array cannot be activated normally, they will lose some of their initial advantage in connecting with the outside world.

It wasn't until November that the teleportation array showed signs of activating, and the Xu family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
