After Liu Tiesheng's injuries had largely healed, he returned to Luoxia Valley and, with Xiu Qiyu's help, successfully entered the inner sect and began rigorous cultivation. Meanwhile, Aunt Wang was settled in a small town near Luoxia Valley, where she opened a general store. Secretly protected by disciples of Luoxia Valley, she quickly adapted to her new life.
The fact that the two of them broke through to the next level was naturally a joyous occasion. Ye Xiruo prepared a table of delicious dishes and took out her treasured wine, pouring a glass for Xiu Qiyu and herself: "Congratulations on your great improvement in skill, Brother Xiu Qi."
Xiu Qiyu also raised his wine cup, mimicking Ye Xiruo's manner: "As your elder brother, I also congratulate Little Ye on successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and being able to return to meet the Palace Master."
“Brother Xiu Qi—” Ye Xiruo drawled, really bringing up the most awkward topic: “I am now not only a powerful cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but also a seventh-grade alchemist. Master will definitely not blame me.”
"Yes, yes, yes."
After Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo drank half a bottle of spirit wine, an energy fluctuation came through the air, and soon Han Tianxin's voice came in: "Hahaha, luckily I arrived in time, you are both alright."
"Master, Xiao Yezi's tribulation has been completed," Xiu Qiyu replied indifferently.
"That's wonderful! The bright moon in the sky is truly dazzling. This little girl is destined for a bright future."
"Master, I sent you a message immediately."
"I drank too much and fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that the world had changed. It's changed for the better. The bright moon rises over the blue sea. Not bad, not bad. I'm already in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. I'm much stronger than Xiao Qi."
"Master Han, please take a seat."
With Han Tianxun's skill, he naturally noticed the two Supreme Elders not far from the two of them, but he acted as if he hadn't noticed anything and celebrated with Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu.
"Now that you two have broken through, when are you planning to go back?"
"We're planning to go back in the next couple of days."
"The little girl is already a seventh-grade alchemist, not bad, not bad. Her pills will sell even better when we get back."
"Master Han, you don't mind?"
"What's there to worry about? The disciples are practically ecstatic. Such high-quality pills at a fair price have significantly increased their speed in completing tasks and their cultivation has grown at an astonishing pace."
"This is all thanks to the support of Master Han and Brother Xiu Qi. Those two alchemists will be staying in Luoxia Valley from now on. Luoxia Valley is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, which will surely help their cultivation."
"Haha, little girl, you're right."
"By the way, Master, what exactly is the entanglement between our Falling Sunset Valley and the royal family of the Kingdom of Rui? Is their royal advisor a member of our Falling Sunset Valley?"
"I forgot about this. I'll look it up in the library when I get back."
Xiu Qiyu sighed, "I'll just go back and look it up myself! If I don't understand something, I can ask my master."
"That's fine then. When are you planning to leave?"
Being so close to the back mountain, Han Tianxun's immortal energy began to circulate automatically. This was a sign of danger; there was something within that could threaten him. Han Tianxun couldn't help but frown.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Han Tianxin waved his hand. In any case, he wouldn't be staying on this continent for very long. The depths of the back mountain were definitely a forbidden area on this continent, and it didn't concern him much. Even if the entire continent shattered, it wouldn't affect him in any way.
"It's nothing. The back mountain is fraught with danger. You must know your limits. Even if you ascend to immortality in the future, do not go deep into the back mountain."
Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu exchanged a glance, especially Xiu Qiyu. Their master's realm was unfathomable. The deeper one cultivated, the more terrifying one could feel their master's power. But now even their master had said so, which meant that the one in the back mountain was truly an irresistible existence.
"Yes, Master, we understand."
After Han Tianxun finished speaking, he disappeared immediately.
"Master went to the back mountain to relax." This was the explanation given by Xiu Qiyu.
"Indeed, apart from the back mountain, there doesn't seem to be anything interesting in our little village."
"Let's pack up and leave tomorrow!"
"Great! I wonder how Senior Brother Zhiyi and Hua Rong are doing with the beverage shop. I suddenly realized I'm almost out of spirit stones again." Over the past three years, she'd sent the pills she refined back to Luoxia Valley for sale, and also entrusted Hua Rong to sell the spirit wine. However, Tianyi and Brother Xiuqi were simply too extravagant. Tianyi needed to consume ten high-grade spirit stones every day, otherwise he'd become a useless cat. Ye Xiruo doted on Tianyi to the core, so how could she just watch him be listless? Naturally, she made sure he was well-fed with spirit stones. Brother Xiuqi was also a major consumer of spirit stones, consuming fifty high-grade spirit stones daily for cultivation. The daily spirit stone consumption in the simulated cultivation room was also quite staggering. Adding Ye Xiruo's own cultivation, the purchase of spirit herbs, and magic tools, their originally substantial fortune was now almost entirely gone.
"Your share of the profits from Zuixianju and your monthly allowance haven't been used yet; it should be a large sum of money."
"Sigh, you would never understand what it feels like to go from being a rich person to being poor." Ye Xiruo was in a bad mood.
"Don't worry, I'll take on a few missions when I get back, and I'll have the spirit stones."
"I wonder if any secret realms have opened recently. If I'm lucky, I could make a fortune."
"Secret realms are also dangerous; once some secret realms are opened, almost no one comes back alive."
There was simply no way to have a pleasant conversation that day. Ye Xiruo went straight back to her room to rest. There wasn't much left to pack. After they left, they would set up formations and barriers here to protect this place. They would probably come back in the future.
Ye Xiruo slept very comfortably. When she woke up, she found a snow-white fluffy ball next to her head. The soft fur made Ye Xiruo feel better immediately.
"Tianyi, you're back."
Tianyi flicked its tail and rubbed against Ye Xiruo's face.
Seeing that Tianyi had returned unharmed, Ye Xiruo was relieved. Her breakthrough this time was largely thanks to Tianyi; otherwise, her brother Xiuqi would definitely have been injured.
"Little Tianyi, thank you so much this time. I never expected you to be so powerful. So many powerful demons in the back mountain have to obey you."
Tianyi started playing dumb again, looking innocent and cute. His innocent little eyes almost made Ye Xiruo believe that this cute thing couldn't do anything but act cute. But she quickly realized that he was obviously just pretending to be stupid.
"Tianyi, we're about to leave this place. Do you want to stay here and wait for us, or come with us?"
