==========================

Zhu Wenbin sat down on the stone slab where Fat Sanhua was sleeping, leaving Fat Sanhua with nowhere to sleep.

"Childish guy." Fat Sanhua curled his lips, leaped lightly onto Zhu Wenbin, and squatted on his knees.

Zhu Wenbin pondered for two seconds, and then considered whether to throw the fat cat down.

"Master, why did you suddenly come out?" Qian Gaozhuo is still the best, he is the only one who truly cares about Zhu Wenbin.

Zhu Wenbin was just about to show off his upcoming breakthrough to his eldest disciple, but when he looked up, he discovered a remarkable fact.

"You made a breakthrough?!" Zhu Wenbin couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

I began to doubt again. Did he really only stay in seclusion for more than a year, and not a hundred years, or even a thousand years?

Why has the outside world changed so much? When he was still outside, nothing was different after hundreds of years.

"Are you really the one who is going to break through? When the senior brother survived the thunder tribulation, the noise was so huge. Didn't you feel it even though you were right next to him?" Fat Sanhua was surprised.

Then he shook his head again, thinking that Zhu Wenbin was really hopeless.

Zhu Wenbin felt guilty for two seconds: "It's not that I didn't feel anything, it's just that there are so many people who have made breakthroughs, I didn't expect it to be your senior brother."

Or he never thought it was Qian Gaozhuo. He had had a little doubt, but no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible. In just one year, he achieved a hurdle that he had never been able to overcome.

Zhu Wenbin was aware of some of Qian Gaozhuo's reservations.

...No matter how much he noticed it, he didn't expect it to be to this extent.

"Oh, you are such a failed master. You taught him outside for so many years, but the eldest senior brother didn't have a breakthrough. As soon as you came in, the eldest senior brother broke through." Fat Sanhua took out a small snack from somewhere and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he complained about Zhu Wenbin.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry." Zhu Wenbin tried hard to maintain his expression.

"Not really, actually. It just so happened that I got an inspiration after Master went in." Qian Gaozhuo smiled gently, and tried hard to help his Master pick up his face which had fallen to the ground and been stepped on several times.

"Forget it. I am temporarily out of seclusion this time only because I have found the key to breakthrough, so I came out to prepare the items to survive the thunder tribulation."

"I'll come out to take a look at you two and then I'll go back to seclusion again." Zhu Wenbin told his disciples the good news.

As a result, there was no expression of surprise as expected, and everyone nodded coldly.

Qian Gaozhuo had the biggest reaction: "Congratulations, Master."

Zhu Wenbin nodded and shed tears silently in his heart. Fortunately, he was about to break through, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to be at the same level as the disciples.

"You've been looking at us a lot now, right? Can we go in?" Fat Sanhua raised his head and looked at Zhu Wenbin's chin.

Zhu Wenbin pinched Fat Sanhua's head and said, this little kitten is the cutest when it doesn't speak.

"By the way, where did you all go just now? Why weren't you in the yard?" Zhu Wenbin finally remembered that Fat Sanhua had lied to him.

"I'm going to do the mission. Now that the eldest brother is the temporary peak master, basically all the tasks fall on me." Zhong Xiaotian's tone was full of excitement.

Even a short period of one year was not enough for her to get over the excitement of these high-level tasks.

And it should be that she had a breakthrough, her mentality also changed, she no longer had the depression she had before, now she was more cheerful, and her cultivation progress was also very optimistic.

"You have reached the Jindan stage." Zhu Wenbin nodded in admiration.

"Yeah, everyone has made progress while you were away." Fat Sanhua interrupted at the right time.

This time, Zhu Wenbin no longer pressed his head, but pinched his mouth.

"I just went to attend the peak masters' meeting." Qian Gaozhuo answered obediently.

Zhu Wenbin turned his gaze to Yuan Zheng again.

According to Fat Sanhua, where did this guy who followed the demon cultivator to practice go just now?

"I originally practiced with the eldest brother, but the room was too crowded, so I moved to a new room where I am the only one there. I basically practice there, and sometimes I ask Ye Minxue for advice." Yuan Zheng answered honestly.

"See, I said Yuan Zheng was learning from a demon cultivator." Fat Sanhua tried hard to make the sound.

"Well, but this demon cultivator was just killed by what you said..."

The word "dead" could not come out of Zhu Wenbin's mouth, because Fat Sanhua was startled and broke free from Zhu Wenbin's shackles, jumped up, and tried hard to cover his mouth with his two paws.

Wow, this kind of horrible rumor must not be known by the little chicken himself.

Otherwise, the little chick will be angry for a long time.

"It seems that everyone has made progress during my retreat, except you who have regressed. Why are you starting to be afraid of your own little brother?" Zhu Wenbin patted the back of Fat Sanhua's head.

Fat Sanhua curled his lips.

That's because he also knows that his joke was too much. When the time comes, he will be in the wrong and the little chicken will take this opportunity to make many excessive demands. After all, he is such a good boss.

"The two of us just went to the back mountain to catch monsters. The eldest brother has a meeting today, so we can only rely on ourselves." Bai Ze sighed. He is becoming more and more down-to-earth now.

"I also went to the back mountain, but I didn't go there to catch monsters. I went there to learn from them." Ye Minxue was proud. This was the experience he had gained bit by bit since he started practicing.

Last year, when Yuan Zheng said he wanted to have his own little room, Ye Minxue also thought of it.

He is different from Fat Sanhua, Bai Ze and Xue Zhui.

These three are all real spirit beasts, however, the body that Ye Minxue was in was originally an ordinary monster beast, and he did not have any powerful qualifications. If he had not taken over the wrong body back then, perhaps this monster would have already entered Fat Sanhua's belly.

So Ye Minxue thought that he couldn't always practice with this group of guys, he also had to learn to be a real monster in order to better stimulate his bloodline.

So now, every morning when Ye Minxue gets up, he runs to the back mountain to practice with those bird monsters.

He had achieved fruitful results over the past year, and his cultivation speed was much faster than before. He could clearly feel his own progress.

The little chick silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. He was worthy of being the former Demon Lord. He was truly an amazing chick.

After listening to the whole thing, Zhu Wenbin smacked his lips and reflected on himself at the same time.

Fat Sanhua is indeed a hateful cat, but this time he was right in one thing. When Zhu Wenbin was outside, everything remained the same and no one made any progress. But as soon as he came in, these guys made new discoveries as fast as a rocket.

“…………”

Wouldn’t it be better for him to go into seclusion?

"Then tell me, what are these about?" When Zhu Wenbin was daydreaming, he caught a glimpse of the weeds in the yard and immediately thought of this.

This should be considered the culprit that caused him to have wrong thoughts.

"Since you are all here, is there no one to take care of the yard? The yard is overgrown with weeds and looks dirty and messy." Zhu Wenbin frowned, his tone critical.

Fat Sanhua had been sitting on Zhu Wenbin's lap since the beginning, chewing a piece of dried meat in his mouth. After hearing these two sentences, he immediately jumped off Zhu Wenbin's lap, and his two already big eyes widened like copper bells, with anger in them.

"It's so rude to say that!" Fat Sanhua was so angry that he put away all the dried meat.

Zhu Wenbin:?

Could it be that this was the yard cleaned by their little apprentice, but as a cat, he really couldn't clean it well.

This is understandable, how can a cat clean the yard? So he wanted to criticize Qian Gaozhuo.

How did Qian Gaozhuo become the peak master? This position is totally wrong.

Look, not everyone can be the peak master, so this kind of thing can only be done by him as the master.

Zhu Wenbin had just opened his mouth to speak when Fat Sanhua started to scold him: "What do you mean by weeds? Have you ever seen weeds that look so beautiful? These are all beautiful flowers and plants that I worked so hard to grow."

Everyone went to practice, and the fat cat, Sanhua, felt a little bored, so he thought of the imperial garden.

When talking about the Imperial Garden, one must definitely think of the dazzling flowers and plants there.

So Fat Sanhua immediately perked up.

He didn't allow anyone to clean the yard; he wanted to sow the seeds himself and grow a beautiful garden.

Zhu Wenbin: “…………”

Zhu Wenbin looked around the messy courtyard again.

No matter how he looked, he could only see a pile of weeds. From his generous perspective, this place did not look like a garden with any artistic quality.

"See? This is the golden spiritual grass I planted." As soon as Fat Sanhua saw Zhu Wenbin's expression, he knew that he was still complaining in his heart, so the kitten immediately ran up and explained his beautiful artistic masterpiece to Zhu Wenbin.

Zhu Wenbin was startled and looked forward.

You know what, this is really precious golden spiritual grass, and it was planted so casually in the courtyard.

"And this, this is the Jueya flower." Fat Sanhua carefully parted the golden spirit grass and showed him a small blue flower inside.

Jue Yahua!

These are good things that you may not be able to find even in the secret realm. I can pick some to take with me during my retreat.

Then Fat Sanhua took Zhu Wenbin for a walk in the courtyard and introduced him to the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Even a cultivator like Zhu Wenbin who had seen the world couldn't help but shake his head.

Fat Sanhua's courtyard is a little too luxurious. Any item taken out of it would be a rare treasure that would make the monks outside rack their brains to get it.

Zhu Wenbin stood up and looked at the courtyard again.

“…………”

Well, even if he put on a filter that was full of genius and treasures, he couldn't go against his conscience and praise the beauty of the garden.

All I can say is that being able to grow such a precious spiritual herb into something like weeds is an incredible talent.

From this perspective, Fat Sanhua is really amazing.

Zhu Wenbin gave Fat Sanhua a thumbs up. Fat Sanhua smiled shyly. Actually, he was not as good as Zhu Wenbin said.

After solving all the puzzles, Zhu Wenbin could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone was doing well during his absence.

that is……

Zhu Wenbin frowned and touched his chin. He didn't know what was going on. Although he had solved all the problems, he always felt like he had forgotten something.

What is it.

Xiao Yueqi: "A-choo!"
