Lin Qian followed Master Qingyun back to his residence. Upon entering, Master Qingyun immediately began to busy himself. His hands moved rapidly, sending beams of light flying out and disappearing into the surrounding walls and floor, setting up various arrays. These arrays flickered with a faint light, enveloping the entire residence and ensuring its safety and secrecy.
Once everything was arranged, Master Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around, looked calmly at Lin Qian, and slowly said, "Now that there are no outsiders, Lin Qian, tell me the truth about the divine beast egg."
Lin Qian knew there was no need to hide it anymore. She took a deep breath and said, "Master, to be honest, I did obtain the divine beast egg, but I have already eaten it."
Upon hearing this, Master Qingyun was taken aback at first, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Just then, Lin Qian took out a fragment emitting a mysterious light from her bosom and handed it to Master Qingyun, saying, "Master, this is part of a divine beast egg. I thought it might be useful to you, so I kept it and now I present it to you."
Master Qingyun stared at the fragment in Lin Qian's hand, then burst into laughter: "Well done, Lin Qian, you do have some courage and cunning. However, since you have already eaten the divine beast egg, it is your good fortune. I will accept this fragment."
Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Master."
Master Qingyun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's kind of you to still think of your master under such circumstances. The power of that divine beast egg is extraordinary; you must digest and absorb it properly, lest you waste such an opportunity."
Lin Qian nodded and replied, "Disciple understands. I will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to the power of this divine beast egg and Master's expectations."
Master Qingyun looked at Lin Qian with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Then you can cultivate here in peace. With the power of this divine beast egg, you will surely be able to make further progress on your cultivation path."
Lin Qian bowed again and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will do my best."
Back in her small house, Lin Qian gently pushed open the door, the room filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. She walked to the table, sat down slowly, and poured herself a cup of tea. A gentle breeze blew in from outside the window, stirring the curtains and bringing a touch of coolness.
"003, the harvest in the Purple Spirit Secret Realm this time was truly considerable, especially that divine beast egg, which greatly improved my strength," Lin Qian said with a smile, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth and a hint of excitement in her eyes. She picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and savored the fragrance of the tea spreading in her mouth.
"Yes, host, but the identity of that mysterious man is still a mystery. I wonder if we will meet him again in the future." 003's voice rang in Lin Qian's mind.
Lin Qian frowned, lost in thought. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused. She recalled her encounter with the mysterious man in the secret realm. It was when she was in danger that the mysterious man appeared like a god descending from the heavens. He was tall and handsome, his deep eyes seeming to hold endless secrets. Recalling his appearance, Lin Qian's cheeks flushed for a moment, and she unconsciously touched her cheek.
"Speaking of which, that mysterious man was indeed quite extraordinary." Lin Qian composed herself, put down her teacup, and leaned forward slightly. "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to observe him carefully, but he gave off a very powerful aura. That powerful aura made people involuntarily feel a sense of awe."
"Host, what is his background?" 003 asked curiously.
Lin Qian shook her head, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said, "We really have no clue at the moment, but let's talk about it later."
A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, a few strands playfully brushing against her cheek. Lin Qian reached out and tucked them behind her ears, but her thoughts drifted back to the Purple Spirit Secret Realm. The look the mysterious man gave her as he left—deep and unfathomable, yet carrying an indescribable tenderness—was something she could never forget.
"What are you thinking about, host? Could it be that you're starting to feel romantic feelings?" 003's teasing voice interrupted Lin Qian's thoughts.
"Go to hell, 003! I just think he's a little strange." Lin Qian retorted irritably, but the image of that exceptionally handsome face involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and her heartbeat quickened slightly.
"Strange? What's strange about it? Is it because he's too handsome that you're infatuated with him?" 003 continued to tease.
"If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll turn off your phone!" Lin Qian threatened, feigning anger, but secretly thinking to herself, that guy was indeed good-looking; if only she could run into him again...
**Lin Qian's Impact on the Nascent Soul Stage**
After discussing the mysterious man with 003 in private, Lin Qian decided to put the matter aside for the time being. She took a deep breath, stood up, her eyes revealing determination, and began preparing for her seclusion.
She took out some array-setting materials from her storage bag, preparing to set up a defensive array inside the room to ensure her safety during her seclusion. Lin Qian's eyes were focused, and her hands moved methodically. She placed the spirit stones in specific positions, then cast a series of incantations to activate the array.
As the incantation was cast, the formation slowly activated, and a faint light enveloped the room. Lin Qian felt the power of the formation and nodded in satisfaction.
The humming sound of the array activating echoed in the quiet room. Lin Qian looked around with satisfaction. A pale golden light enveloped the entire room like a veil, bringing a sense of peace. She sat cross-legged in the center of the room, preparing to digest the remaining energy from consuming the divine beast egg in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
