Lilia felt herself being picked up in a daze, so she opened her eyes and wanted to see who was holding her.

The moment I opened my eyes, what came into view was Xiao Lingyu's delicate little face.

"Awake?" Xiao Lingyu curled the corners of his mouth towards her when he saw her open her eyes.

"Hmm." The little beast that had just woken up was still a little confused.

But the next second she seemed to have thought of something, and became anxious, leaning on Xiao Lingyu's shoulder and looking around, "Lilia's things!"

The other people who heard the noise looked at them sideways.

"I put it in the storage bag for you and will give it to you when we get back." Xiao Lingyu explained.

Hearing her say that she would give it to her when she got back, Lilia nodded obediently, but she still said worriedly, "Remember to return it to Lilia."

As if she was afraid that Xiao Lingyu would not return it to her.

"Don't worry, I'm not greedy for your stuff." Xiao Lingyu was amused by her.

It seems that the little girl really cares about the gem. No wonder she is reluctant to leave the gem in the cave.

Xiao Lingyu said: "It's just a worthless sapphire and a night-shining pearl. I have many gems of better quality than your sapphire. If you stay with me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

She said this to tell Lilia that she would not take her treasure away, so she could rest assured, and also to let her know that if she followed her, she would not treat her unfairly.

Although Lilia was only a one-month-old baby dragon, the dragon race's greedy character was fully displayed in her.

No, all dragons are like this. It's not that Lilia is special, but it's the nature of dragons. They are born to like these treasures, and these preferences are engraved in their genes.

When Lilia heard that Xiao Lingyu had a gemstone of better quality than her own sapphire, her heart suddenly itched.

Her sapphire is already so beautiful, how much more beautiful would a gem be if it were even better than her sapphire!

Nowadays, Lilia is not so resistant to leaving the forest. She even thinks that following Xiao Lingyu and the others is a good choice, as it allows her to get a lot of treasures.

When Xiao Lingyu and Lin Xu returned to the sect, the first thing they had to do was to pay a visit to her father, Xiao Changjin, the head of Xuantian Sect. Lin Xu and Qi Ziyan were also with her.

Like Lin Xu, Qi Ziyan is also a disciple of Xiao Changjin and the second senior brother of Xiao Lingyu.

As for Li Chenfeng, Song Zhi and the others, they returned to the top of their respective peaks.

Xuantian Sect has a total of eight peaks. The sect leader lives on the main peak, and the masters of the remaining seven peaks are appointed by seven elders with more seniority in the sect.

When the two senior brothers Xiao Lingyu and Lin Xu arrived at the master's hall, Master Xiao had already received the news in advance and was waiting there.

"Daddy!" Xiao Lingyu saw Sect Master Xiao and ran towards him excitedly.

Seeing his daughter, Sect Leader Xiao's originally stern expression softened a little, and his voice became softer.

"Yu'er."

Cultivation is against the will of heaven, so it is extremely difficult for a cultivator to have offspring. The higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the smaller the chance of having offspring. Xiao Lingyu's daughter was born after Sect Leader Xiao and his wife had been married for nearly a hundred years, so he naturally regarded this daughter as the apple of his eye.

"Where is my mother?" Xiao Lingyu couldn't see her mother, so she asked curiously.

It was the first time she left her parents, and she was away for more than ten days. Logically, her mother should have come to see her when she returned.

Xiao Lingyu's mother, Lin Yueniang, is the ninth elder of the sect and has now reached the early stage of out-of-body cultivation.

"Your mother is in seclusion." Master Xiao explained.

It is very normal for monks to go into seclusion, which can be as short as three to five days or as long as several decades.

"Disciple greets Master!" At this time Lin Xu and Qi Ziyan also came forward, and they both saluted respectfully towards Master Xiao.

"Yes." Sect Master Xiao nodded slightly at them and said, "Yu'er is going out for training for the first time. Thank you for taking care of her. Is everything going well on the journey?"

"Second Junior Brother and I are senior brothers, so it's our duty to take care of our junior sisters. This time we went to the Misty Forest for training, and we encountered a monster in the early Golden Core stage. We successfully killed it." Lin Xu replied.

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Xiao did not blame them for being too aggressive. Although these children were only cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, they were able to challenge opponents of higher levels through sword cultivation. Besides, he had given them a lot of life-saving things before he left. Let alone a monster in the early Jindan stage, even if they encountered a monster in the late Jindan stage, they would be able to protect themselves.

"Dad, aren't we awesome? This time we hunted down a black gold pig, a demon beast in the early golden elixir stage!" Xiao Lingyu said with great pride.

It was her first time to go out for training, so she was extremely excited.

"That's right, but you must not be proud and complacent. The reason you were able to successfully hunt down the monster in the early Jindan stage this time was because you had more people and had the bonus of talismans and magic weapons in your hands. You must not act like this next time." Although it is a good thing for young people to be courageous and dare to challenge, the prerequisite is to ensure their own safety and not put themselves in danger. Therefore, Xiao Changjin did not forget to teach them to prevent them from getting carried away.

Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu stuck out her tongue and said "Oh".

As for Lin Xu and Song Ziyan, they responded respectfully: "Disciples will follow the Master's teachings. No matter what we do, we will always put our own safety first and will not do anything that we are not sure of."

Xiao Changjin was naturally very satisfied with his eldest and second disciples. He nodded upon hearing this, and then said to Lin Xu: "Xu'er, I see that your cultivation has improved a lot, and your spiritual power is very active. Are you about to break through the Golden Core Realm?"
