In short, my two months at Mount Sainte came to a successful end.
The endless snow-capped mountains radiated a cool glow under the night sky, and tiny snowflakes drifted down slowly. The scene was similar to when she arrived, which made Ye Xiruo feel a little reluctant to leave.
This time, they went back to the Crystal Palace again. Ye Xiruo lay on the crystal bed, looking at the scenery outside through the Crystal Palace.
With Elder Lianqing's deliberate acceleration, they arrived at the Pill King Palace in just two days. After two months, seeing that familiar palace and familiar people again, Ye Xiruo cheered in the Crystal Palace. She was finally home. No matter how wonderful Saintess Peak was, she was just a passerby, an outsider. The Pill King Palace was her true home.
Elder Lianqing and Elder Lianchi also breathed a sigh of relief. Even with a celestial artifact like the Crystal Palace, escorting Ye Xiruo back was still a very difficult task. Ye Xiruo's identity was too special; no mistakes could be made. Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and Ye Xiruo returned safely to the Pill King Palace.
Because Jing Li was in seclusion, Elder Lian Qing and Elder Lian Chi, along with their entourage, were received by an elder from the Pill King Hall named Dan Feng, a tenth-grade alchemist. He wore a fiery red alchemist's robe and had an air of otherworldly elegance.
"Greetings, Elder."
Ye Xiruo had a deep impression of this elder. He looked like a sage, but he was actually full of bad intentions. Although the other elders hated him to the core, he clung to his master's coattails and lived a very carefree life.
"Young Palace Master, you're back. Not bad, not bad, your strength has improved so much. The Palace Master will be very happy when he comes out of seclusion."
"The two elders have gone to great lengths to escort the young master back. Please stay at my Danwang Palace for a few more days so that we can show them our hospitality."
Elder Lianqing smiled and said, "Elder, you are too kind. This is what we should do. The young master's talent is unparalleled in my life, and all the disciples of my Saintess Peak like him very much."
Ye Xiruo touched her nose somewhat awkwardly; they probably liked her pills more!
"Elder, Saintess Peak wishes to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with our Pill King Hall. They would purchase a certain number of pills and spiritual herbs from us each year, and then exchange them for special products from the snow mountain or spirit stones. What do you think?"
Elder Danfeng readily agreed: "This is a matter of great benefit to both my Pill King Hall and Saintess Peak, so we must do it well. I wonder what kind of pills Saintess Peak would like to exchange for? I will make the arrangements now and strive to achieve the first cooperation this time." Danfeng's insight was extremely shrewd; after only a brief introduction from Ye Xiruo, he could see the enormous benefits contained in this cooperation, so of course he agreed immediately.
The Palace Master and the Elder Council would not object to such a mutually beneficial arrangement. Cooperating with the mysterious Saintess Peak would also be a good thing for the Pill King Palace.
Elder Danfeng glanced at Ye Xiruo, surprised that the young palace master had not only increased her strength rapidly during her trip but had also gained the friendship of Saintess Peak. It seemed that he would have to stand firmly on the young palace master's side from now on.
Elder Lianqing and Elder Lianchi were very satisfied with this result.
Elder Danfeng arranged for Elder Lianqing and her entourage to stay in a secluded courtyard, surrounded by green bamboo and with a babbling brook, a beautiful place.
Upon hearing that Ye Xiruo had returned, the Pill King Palace erupted in chaos once again. Si Hao rushed directly to Ye Xiruo Palace in a great hurry, almost frightening Mingxi.
"Your Highness."
"Is Junior Sister back?"
"The young prince has just gone to lead Elder Lianqing and the others to rest, and will be back soon."
After Ye Xiruo left, Jing Li also chose to go into seclusion, as did the eldest brother. Si Hao simply went into seclusion to cultivate as well. He just emerged from seclusion yesterday, and judging by the days, his junior sister should have returned by now. Sure enough, she returned today.
Elder Lianqing and the other guests from Saintess Peak were very satisfied with their lodgings and immediately dismissed them, saying, "We've been tired for two days, and we can finally rest."
Ye Xiruo was kicked out and wandered around leisurely. Two months had passed, and the Pill King Palace remained unchanged. There were hardly any disciples on this path, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Back at Ye Ruo Palace, Si Hao had already drunk three cups of tea.
"Junior Sister, you're back." Si Hao stood up, his expression somewhat excited. Looking up, the unfamiliar face and familiar aura created a conflicting feeling within him.
"Second Senior Brother, it's been a long time." Ye Xiruo naturally rushed over and said, "You're finally back."
Si Hao hadn't expected that Ye Xiruo would reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm in just two months. He looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Ye Xiruo with some suspicion: "Could it be that Xiu Qiyu has broken through again?" Then Ye Xiruo also leveled up, but what was wrong with her face? It had undergone a complete transformation compared to before.
Ye Xiruo was speechless. How could she be such an unambitious person in her senior brother's eyes, relying on her seventh brother to advance and on her master to overcome tribulations?
"No, a genius like me naturally has to rely on my own hard work to cultivate. Occasionally, I can also use some external aids."
"Junior Sister has amazing luck; she must have gained a great opportunity this time."
"This trip to Saintess Peak allowed me to witness the magnificent snow-capped mountain scenery and some spiritual herbs that can only grow there. Most importantly, I spent a month cultivating in the lotus pond of Saintess Peak, and then naturally leveled up. However, my mental state didn't improve much, and continuing to absorb spiritual energy was useless, so I returned." Ye Xiruo deliberately omitted the dangerous situation she had encountered earlier, almost losing her life. Anyway, she was fine now, and there was no need to worry her second senior brother.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister, on your transformation and successful advancement to the level of a peerless beauty. I'm sure Master will be very interested."
Ye Xiruo was speechless. After not seeing him for two months, her second senior brother had become a bit abnormal: "What about this face? It was purely an accident. I lost consciousness and then woke up looking like this. I don't know what happened."
"Could it be that someone gave you some kind of elixir?" Si Hao looked Ye Xiruo up and down, left and right, and found no sense of incongruity. In fact, he could even find some traces of the past in her stunning face.
I wonder if this can be considered a blessing in disguise for my junior sister.
Ye Xiruo took out a box of Snow Crystal from her ring and excitedly handed it to Si Hao. As expected, Si Hao was amazed. Snow Crystal, which was extremely rare in the outside world, was brought out by his junior sister.
"I'll give these to you; I have many more."
Si Hao didn't stand on ceremony. With a flick of his finger, he put it away: "I'll let you have a taste once the pills are refined."
