Eight days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The exchange team from Zhongzhou finally arrived in the Eastern Wilderness.
The nine major sects also received the news immediately.
They've even investigated the personnel information of this exchange team.
Of course, it's also possible that the Central Plains Exchange Team didn't intend to hide anything.
Interestingly...
Instead of visiting the nine major sects, this exchange team temporarily built a city on a plain.
The nine major sects had no idea what they were planning to do.
They simply sent out spies to investigate.
Then, Gao Yan received a transmission talisman from Xiao Lingyue.
Lingyue Peak.
Inside the wooden house.
All three of Gao Yan's disciples were present.
Xiao Lingyue sighed and said, "Zhongzhou is indeed Zhongzhou. Among the exchange teams that came this time, all the holy sons of the four first-class sects are at the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Even among the true disciples, there are quite a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Our Nine Saints Sect is far inferior to them!"
Although somewhat shocked by the power of the Central Continent sects, Gao Yan was not discouraged. He was a cheat code, after all. Besides, his Divine Demon Technique had reached the first level of the Law God and Demon realm, making him far stronger than the Void Realm cultivators and the holy sons and daughters from the Central Continent.
"Master, this time Zhongzhou only sent their Holy Son. I don't think they intend to use their power to intimidate us. What are the sect leader's thoughts on this?"
"The sect leader has decided to wait and see how things develop, and has also sent people to Zhongzhou to gather information!" Xiao Lingyue said.
Gao Yan nodded, agreeing with the sect leader's approach.
If we rush to present the tokens as soon as the troops from Zhongzhou arrive, it would be beneath us.
Moreover, the Nine Saints Sect now possesses two tokens, which they can certainly sell at any price.
"Disciple, what do you think of the exchange team from Zhongzhou?"
Xiao Lingyue looked at Gao Yan and asked.
Gao Yan thought for a moment: "The exchange team is a cover; their real purpose is probably to investigate the whereabouts of the token."
"Too!"
Xiao Lingyue nodded.
Just then, the protective array of Lingyue Peak made a sound.
The three of them, master and disciples, all felt a connection.
Just as they were preparing to investigate, an excited voice rang out: "Master, Master, we're back!"
"It's Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Sister back!" Yin Yutong stood up excitedly. She had entered the sect when she was just a few years old, and could be said to have followed behind her two senior sisters and one senior brother since she was a child.
Their natural affection was excellent.
The person who shouted was none other than the third senior sister, Luo Qianqian.
"Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister!"
Yin Yutong rushed out of the wooden house and, sure enough, saw two women and a man on the mountaintop.
"Junior Sister!"
Luo Qianqian flashed to Yin Yutong's side and reached out to rub her head: "Hey, Junior Sister, you've actually broken through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage! Could it be that Master gave you special tutoring after we left?"
"Master is very good to me, but he doesn't give me any special treatment!" Yin Yutong quickly said, "However, Third Senior Sister, I have to correct you on one point. I'm no longer the junior sister, because Master has taken in another junior brother!"
At this moment, Gao Yan and Xiao Lingyue also came out of the wooden house!
"Disciple Yue Qingkong greets Master!"
"Disciple Bai Cangyun greets Master!"
"Disciple Luo Qianqian greets Master!"
Having been away from the mountain for many years, the three of them were extremely excited to return and see their master again. They all knelt down and paid their respects.
Seeing this, Gao Yan, who was originally following Xiao Lingyue, quickly dodged away.
"It's good that you're back. Get up, all of you!"
A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Lingyue's usually cold face. She reached out to help the three disciples up, and after sensing their auras, she was even more satisfied.
Because all three disciples have made considerable progress in their cultivation.
Originally, Yue Qingkong was at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, but unexpectedly, after being away for several decades, he has reached the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Although Bai Cangyun was a bit lacking, he still reached the peak of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, and even Luo Qianqian had reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
Keep in mind that Yue Qingkong is only a little over three hundred years old.
Among the elders' true disciples, none of those her age possessed her level of cultivation.
"Thank you, Master!"
The three of them stood up.
"By the way, this is my newly accepted disciple, named Gao Yan!"
For a moment, all three of them looked at Gao Yan, but when they sensed Gao Yan's aura, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
Based on his aura, they determined that this junior brother had actually reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Greetings, Junior Brother!"
"Greetings, Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Sister!"
Gao Yan smiled and returned the greeting.
"Junior Brother, are you at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage?" Luo Qianqian asked directly.
Meeting her gaze, Gao Yan nodded: "Yes, Third Senior Sister!"
At this moment, Xiao Lingyue said with satisfaction, "Your junior brother was recently recommended to become the eighth Holy Son of our Nine Saints Sect!"
"Wow, Holy Son, that's amazing!"
Luo Qianqian exclaimed in shock.
Yue Qingkong and Bai Cangyun were even more surprised.
Then.
Xiao Lingyue called the three into the wooden house and listened to their stories of traveling in Zhongzhou over the past few decades.
What she was most concerned about was whether Yue Qingkong had found a lightning-attribute cultivation technique that matched her own attributes.
Gao Yan and Yin Yutong brewed a cup of tea for each of them, which made the three of them feel flattered.
Although Gao Yan is their junior brother, he is still a Holy Son.
However, because of this, the three of them developed a much better impression of their junior brother, whom they were meeting for the first time.
