Inside the pavilion at Lingyue Peak.
The six people, master and disciples, were sitting together eating meat and drinking wine.
The lowest cultivation level among those present was at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, meaning they had already transcended the realm of absorbing energy through food.
However, the skewers made by Gao Yan with the meat of a fifth-order demon beast were too tempting, and even Xiao Lingyue, a Void Realm expert, found it hard to resist their charm.
Moreover, with her three disciples returning after decades away from the mountain, she naturally didn't want to spoil their fun.
"Senior Sister, I heard from Junior Sister that you went to Zhongzhou to find a lightning-attribute cultivation technique. Did it go smoothly?" Gao Yan asked.
Through brief contact, he had already figured out the personalities of the two female senior students and one male senior student.
The eldest sister is rather aloof and doesn't talk much.
The second senior brother is a warm-hearted man who is deeply in love with the eldest senior sister, and his eyes are always on her.
The third senior sister, Luo Qianqian, is more lively and outgoing.
Yue Qingkong said with some regret, "Lightning attribute cultivation techniques are quite rare. Over the decades, we have only found one high-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique!"
"What a coincidence! I have a mid-grade Earth-rank lightning-attribute cultivation technique here. Consider it a gift from your younger brother to my senior sister!"
As they spoke, Gao Yan took out a jade slip and handed it to Yue Qingkong.
Gao Yan purchased this cultivation technique from the system's shop for only 100 million spirit stones.
"this?"
Yue Qingkong was taken aback, unsure whether she should accept the offer.
"Your junior brother gave it to you, so just accept it!" Xiao Lingyue said.
"Thank you, junior brother!"
Yue Qingkong gratefully accepted the jade slip.
"Junior brother, you're being unfair! You only gave Senior Sister a gift, what about mine?" Luo Qianqian said, feigning dissatisfaction.
"Third Senior Sister, shouldn't you be the one giving Junior Brother a gift?"
At this moment, Yin Yutong interjected.
"Junior sister, you can't say that. Junior brother is the Holy Son. In terms of status, he is much higher than me!" Luo Qianqian retorted.
Gao Yan smiled, took out three jade bottles, and handed them to the three people respectively: "Each jade bottle contains one hundred drops of sword intent energy, which can help senior sisters and senior brothers in their cultivation!"
As the saying goes, there are differences between close and distant relationships. Although they are all from the same sect, he and Yin Yutong have a closer relationship. Therefore, he sent Yin Yutong thousands of sword intent energy at a time.
But Yue Qingkong and the others only received 100 drops.
What kind of energy is sword intent energy?
Luo Qianqian picked up the jade bottle and asked curiously.
"This sword intent energy can rapidly enhance your cultivation; a single drop is worth 2 million spirit stones!"
Yin Yutong explained with a touch of pride.
Upon hearing that a single drop costs 2 million, Luo Qianqian's hand gripping the jade bottle trembled slightly. If a single drop costs 2 million, then 100 drops would cost 200 million spirit stones. This junior brother is far too generous.
"Junior Brother, this sword intent energy is too precious, we can't accept it!" Yue Qingkong declined.
"Yes, junior brother, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I really can't accept them!" Second senior brother Bai Cangyun added.
Luo Qianqian also wanted to decline, but at this moment, Xiao Lingyue spoke up again: "Alright, stop declining. Your junior brother doesn't lack this little bit of sword intent energy. Disciple, am I right?"
“What Master says is absolutely right!” Gao Yan nodded.
"In that case, I'll accept it. But little brother, I also have a gift for you, though it's a bit humble. Please don't be offended!"
Luo Qianqian thought for a moment and took out a broken sword.
Judging from its aura, this broken sword is a spiritual treasure, but it has been damaged and its level has dropped. At most, it can unleash the power of a top-grade spiritual weapon.
"Thank you so much, senior sister! I really like this gift, and I don't mind at all!"
Gao Yan didn't mince words and directly accepted the broken sword, intending to throw it to the Kunwu Sword to devour.
"Third Senior Sister, where's mine?"
Yin Yutong stared at Luo Qianqian and asked.
"Junior Sister Yutong, how about we keep the debt? It's just that your senior sister is poor!" Luo Qianqian said with a forced smile.
Following closely behind, Yue Qingkong and Bai Cangyun also took out gifts to give to Gao Yan, but after giving gifts to Gao Yan, they had no gifts left to give to Yin Yutong.
The main reason was that they had only prepared one gift, and they hadn't expected their master to have taken on another little disciple, and to give them such a big gift as soon as they met.
So he had no choice but to give the gift he had prepared for Yin Yutong to Gao Yan.
However, he promised to make up for the gift for Yin Yutong later.
Next, everyone ate meat, drank alcohol, and chatted.
The main part was Luo Qianqian recounting their experiences in Zhongzhou, and she also talked about the recent major battle in Zhongzhou where sects were vying for tokens.
They witnessed firsthand the battle between several Void Realm experts.
It was because they sensed that the Central Plains were in chaos that they rushed back to the Eastern Wilderness.
Luo Qianqian devoured a skewer of meat in one bite, then took a sip of wine before loudly proclaiming, "Speaking of the younger generation in Zhongzhou, the youngest saintess of the Taiyin Holy Land, Gongsun Yaoyao, has risen to prominence."
Upon hearing the name, Gao Yan's face showed a hint of surprise. It seemed that he had won a fiancée through a lottery, and this fiancée's name was Gongsun Yaoyao.
Unexpectedly, the other party became the youngest saintess of the Taiyin Holy Land.
That lottery gave Gao Yan a childhood memory; he and Gongsun Yaoyao were both from mortal families in a city of a certain mortal empire.
The Gao family and the Gongsun family have been on good terms for generations.
When he was six years old, his elders arranged a marriage between him and Gongsun Yaoyao.
But as the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes."
When the two were nine years old, Gao Yan's grandfather held his sixtieth birthday banquet.
Two cultivators were fighting in the sky above the city. In the end, one of them was no match for the other and chose to self-destruct, taking the other with him. This also affected the city below.
