“Master—” Xiu Qiyu’s face darkened.

Han Tianxun said in a serious tone, "Looking at me is useless. They've been waiting here for almost half a month, and it's the same situation every day."

Xiu Qiyu clearly didn't believe it: "I think some people leaked the news!"

"Didn't you say this yourself? You went out to train and will return in three years. It's about time you came back. The disciples in the sect miss you very much. It's been so long since you returned. Don't you miss them?"

As expected, experience is the best teacher. Xiu Qiyu was speechless after being told off by Han Tianxun: "Don't do it again. Don't forget, Luoxia Valley is only a Yellow-level force right now. It still needs to cultivate properly."

"You can tell them yourself. Your words carry more weight than mine now." There was absolutely no jealousy.

"Master, I have brewed two new spirit wines. Please try them." Upon seeing this, Ye Xiruo quickly tried to divert Master Han's attention.

As expected, Han Tianxun immediately let Xiu Qiyu go and looked at Ye Xiruo with a smile: "Little girl, thank you for your trouble."

"No trouble at all, as long as Master is happy."

When the magnificent divine carriage appeared above Luoxia Valley, everyone in Luoxia Valley went crazy. Countless flowers and spiritual fruits were thrown into the air, and the cheers, applause and screams of hundreds of cultivators almost pierced Ye Xiruo's eardrums. The popularity of Brother Xiu Qi was beyond her imagination.

Xiu Qiyu's expression returned to normal at this moment. A faint smile appeared on his handsome and flawless face. He put away his divine carriage and appeared in mid-air at the same time as Ye Xiruo.

"Ahhh, Senior Brother is finally back."

"My senior brother's appearance and temperament are simply unparalleled in the world. Ah, it is truly an honor to be able to cultivate with him."

"Speaking of which, there seems to be something unusual between the eldest senior brother and the young palace master."

"Indeed, the young master has grown up to be so handsome, exquisite and refined, with an otherworldly air. He truly deserves to be called the young master."

"Weren't you on Senior Brother Zhan and Fairy Yi's team before? Why have you changed your mind now?"

"The Valley of Sunset Glow and the Palace of Illusion have long been sworn enemies. Although that matter had nothing to do with Fairy Yi, with such a deep-seated hatred, how could she possibly indulge in romantic feelings?" The female cultivator spoke with unwavering conviction, stirring the blood of everyone present.

"That's right. Besides, Senior Brother and Fairy Yi have been in a flirtatious relationship for so long. If they really had feelings for each other, they would have gotten together long ago. How could it have dragged on until now?"

Most of the male cultivators' gazes were fixed on Ye Xiruo. The young master's Huitian Pavilion had grown significantly in the past three years, and the quality of its pills was extremely high. Their cultivation speed was now almost double what it used to be. Everyone in the sect was deeply grateful to Ye Xiruo. They realized they could cultivate so quickly too; their talent wasn't lacking; and they too had a chance to catch up with their senior brother.

As she grew up, Ye Xiruo became even more exquisite and beautiful than before, and she exuded a rich vitality that made people want to get close to her.

The senior brother remains as unfathomable as ever. Being in the same sect as the senior brother is truly a matter of luck or misfortune for them.

The roars, screams, and cheers continued.

Xiu Qiyu had to release some of her aura to calm her fellow disciples down. The culprit, Han Tianxun, had already vanished without a trace, carrying the spirit wine.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. It's been three years. How is everyone doing?"

"Good." How could it not be good? With Ye Xiruo's pills to support them, and the Danwang Palace's reputation outside, completing the mission was much smoother. All of this was thanks to the senior brother and the young palace master.

"I'm glad that everyone has kept up with their cultivation. Starting the day after tomorrow, I will be giving sermons for ten consecutive days."

Upon hearing this news, a deathly silence quickly fell. Everyone wondered if they had misheard. The senior brother was going to give a sermon—this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, such a great stroke of luck! It was as if they had been hit by a huge pie, leaving them completely bewildered.

Then, once everyone realized that these words came from the senior brother's mouth, they must be true and not a joke.

So everyone bowed down and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"No need to be polite. How much you can understand depends on your own destiny. After the lecture, I will return to the Pill King Palace with the young master."

Upon hearing this, the murmurs below grew much louder, and many female cultivators' eyes immediately reddened.

I almost forgot, my senior brother is now a guest elder of the Pill King Hall, with a young hall master of noble status by his side. Naturally, he can't stay in Falling Sunset Valley forever. But I'm still so sad. My senior brother has only just returned and he's already leaving. I don't know when we'll see each other again.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.

Ye Xiruo said, "Breaking news! Huitian Pavilion will release several batches of top-grade seventh-rank pills, including Rejuvenation Pill, Breakthrough Pill, and Lesser Rejuvenation Pill."

Upon hearing this, the female and male cultivators below went wild, especially the female cultivators who had been injured and whose appearances had been damaged. They were now crying tears of joy. With the Rejuvenation Pill and the Youth Preservation Pill, they would be able to restore their former appearances.

Breakthrough Pills can increase the success rate of breakthroughs, and the effects can be stacked without changing. This means that even people with poor talent and bad luck can definitely succeed in breaking through as long as they take a few Breakthrough Pills.

The Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, an enhanced version of the Rejuvenation Pill, can treat all kinds of internal and external injuries from the inside out, without any blind spots. It is said that as long as there is still a breath left, it can save a person. You can imagine how difficult it is to refine and how rare it is.

"Thank you, Young Master."

The return of the eldest disciple and the young master brought such a big surprise to everyone, which moved all the cultivators deeply.

Ye Xiruo spotted Tie Sheng, Senior Brother Zhiyi, and Hua Rong in the crowd. When did Hua Rong sneak into Luoxia Valley? Why didn't anyone tell her? To her surprise, both Senior Brother Zhiyi and Hua Rong had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and were now Nascent Soul cultivators, though only at the early stage.

"Please don't be so polite, everyone. Consider this a farewell gift. Sunset Valley will always be Elder Xiu's home, and we will come back again in the future."

"Aww, thank you so much, Senior Brother! Thank you so much, Young Palace Master!"

After Ye Xiruo sent a message to Hua Rong, she and Xiu Qiyu disappeared from the spot and soon returned to Xiu Qiyu's cabin.

With a cleansing spell, the cabin was instantly spotless. Ye Xiruo released a bit of Qingyang True Qi, and the vegetables, spiritual fruits, and green bamboo outside the cabin began to grow wildly, making the air much fresher in an instant.
