"Are there any guests coming?"

The old doctor was stunned at first.

Still immersed in the joy of the breakthrough, he did not notice the movement outside the village.

Hearing this, he let go of his mind, sensed it, and smiled: "Yes, there is indeed a distinguished guest."

At the entrance of Jiuli Village, a young man was looking at the scene in front of him in surprise.

He could hardly believe that this was the village he had visited twice before.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, the spiritual energy is rich and full of vitality.

Even the big tree at the entrance of the village has changed its appearance, and seems to be quite extraordinary.

He even vaguely felt that there was an invisible force guarding the village.

If he was not sure that he had not come to the wrong place, he would have doubted whether he had come to some immortal paradise.

It was precisely because he sensed that the village was protected by an invisible force that the young man did not go directly into the village as he had done before, but waited quietly at the entrance of the village.

Because he knew that with the abilities of those two, they should be able to quickly discover his arrival.

Sure enough, soon, before the young man had finished admiring the big tree with a strange atmosphere, he heard a loud laugh.

"It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Sir Zhirui, I didn't expect you would have time to visit our remote village."

As the cloud of foul language dissipated, Lu Qing and the old doctor walked out.

Yes, the young man at the entrance of the village is none other than Lin Zhirui, a disciple of Tianji Tower.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Chen, long time no see. I'm here to ask for two cups of plum tea."

When Lin Zhirui saw Lu Qing and the old doctor, a smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, it's not easy for Zhirui to drink tea, please come in quickly." The old doctor laughed.

Soon, the three of them returned to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

"Brother Zhirui."

When Xiaoyan saw Lin Zhirui, she came up to greet him obediently.

"Long time no see, Xiaoyan, you are getting more and more beautiful, huh?"

Lin Zhirui was also very happy to see Xiaoyan.

But when he sensed the aura emanating from Xiaoyan, his eyes suddenly became filled with doubt.

"Mr. Lu, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that Xiaoyan seems to..."

Facing Lin Zhirui's gaze, Lu Qing smiled and nodded: "Xiaoyan has been successful in practicing Qi recently, and luckily broke through to the Xiantian realm."

"hiss!"

Lin Zhirui couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Xiaoyan in shock.

The innate realm!

How many warriors practice hard day and night, dreaming of reaching this realm, but it is difficult to achieve.

How could it be broken through by some little girls?

He remembered that Xiaoyan seemed to be only seven or eight years old now.

Less than ten years old, in the Xiantian realm...

Lin Zhirui really couldn't describe how shocked he was.

“Don’t misunderstand, Lord Zhirui. Xiaoyan’s cultivation method is just special, so it is easier for her to break through the Xiantian realm.

She only has a realm now, but her real strength is far inferior to other Xiantian realm masters."

Lu Qing saw the shock on Lin Zhirui's face and explained.

“But this is still the Xiantian realm after all!”

Lin Zhirui took a deep breath and calmed down a little.

Lu Qing said Xiaoyan was not strong, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Do you still expect a little girl to fight for life and death?

The most important thing about the innate realm is that it can cause qualitative changes in both the human body and soul, greatly increasing lifespan.

As for strength, they have all reached the innate realm, so they can just increase it slowly.

As long as you have innate true qi, you can’t be that bad.

Not to mention, there is also the guidance of two great masters, Lu Qing and the old doctor.

It can be expected that Xiaoyan's future achievements in cultivation will be limitless.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhirui turned his attention to Lu Qing and the old doctor again.

However, just like when he was in Zhongzhou, he still couldn't see the true strength of Lu Qing and the old doctor.

I know that although my cultivation has improved during this period of time, it is still far from enough in front of these two.

He recalled what he had heard about what happened in Xizhou a month ago.

I felt even more confused.

I don’t know whether his guess is true or not.

After this little episode, the few of them finally sat down in the yard.

The old doctor began to brew plum tea.

"Sir Zhirui, why do you have time to come to Cangzhou?" Lu Qing asked.

He was a little surprised. Zhongzhou was the center of this world. Now the Sound of Heaven and Earth had already sounded for the fourth time. Logically speaking, the spiritual energy there must be more abundant, making it a holy place for cultivation that many practitioners flocked to.

Why did Lin Zhirui go out at this time?

Unexpectedly, when Lin Zhirui heard this, he sighed.

"To be honest with you two, I came here to seek refuge."

Lu Qing was shocked: "Seeking refuge, could it be that your clan..."

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Lu. There's nothing wrong with Tianji Tower. It's just that Zhongzhou is in chaos right now, so I went out to travel to avoid the limelight." Lin Zhirui explained quickly.

"I see."

Only then did Lu Qing breathe a sigh of relief.

He still had a favorable impression of Tianji Tower and did not want anything to happen to this sect.

but……

"Mr. Zhirui, is the situation in Zhongzhou very chaotic now?"

"It's too chaotic." Lin Zhirui sighed, "You two don't know that since you left, the spiritual energy in Zhongzhou has been growing.

One after another, powerful people in the innate realm with profound accumulation began to comprehend the mystery, realized the secret of refining spiritual energy, and successfully cultivated spiritual power.

Even so, Zhongzhou will not be in chaos.

After all, those in the Innate Realm have just comprehended the mystery of refining spiritual energy and are concentrating on practicing and striving to make further progress. They have no time to do other things.

But not long ago, the voice of heaven and earth rang again.

Not only did it increase the spiritual energy of Zhongzhou, but strange changes also occurred in some famous mountains and rivers, and in deep mountains and desolate places.

There were rare treasures being born, and some people even discovered traces of ancient caves.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Zhongzhou was thrown into chaos.

Nowadays, things about the ancient era of cultivating immortals are no longer a secret.

Most of the sectarian forces in Zhongzhou are aware of this.

I know that in ancient times, there was a way to cultivate immortality.

The emergence of the ancient cave now proves this point even more.

When I think about the cave, I think there may be some methods of cultivating immortals and magical weapons.

How could the major sects and forces in Zhongzhou remain calm?

They immediately sent their disciples to fight for it. Even those powerful innate masters who had comprehended the secret of spiritual energy and cultivated spiritual power could not sit still.

They came out one after another to search for and seize opportunities.

Now in Zhongzhou, many sect wars have occurred in order to compete for the opportunity to gain the cave abode.

Some sects even formed cliques and alliances to jointly divide up the cave opportunities within their own sphere of power to prevent invasion by other forces.

Our Tianji Tower has been tried by many sects before. Even our master was troubled by this.

In the end, they just sent us away to travel and hide out for a while."

Lin Zhirui slowly and steadily told the story of what had happened in Zhongzhou recently.
