第一千七百九十九章 庆祝晋级

After enduring numerous hardships, Lin Xuan finally succeeded in advancing to the later stage. A smile crept onto his face as he lifted his head and slowly scanned around him, only to spot three slender figures.

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile. His entire body was enveloped in a green glow before he vanished from his original spot with an eerie presence. In the next moment, he had arrived beside the two girls.

His speed was so swift that it left people speechless; it seemed as if no distance separated them at all.

Setting aside Shangguan Muyu for now, the two girls were visibly startled and reached out to pat their chests. However, their shock quickly turned into joy.

With a gentle wave of her hand, they knelt down in mid-air: "Yan'er, Ling'er, we welcome our Master's return from seclusion."

"Return from seclusion?"

Hearing the two girls say this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but show a strange expression. He turned his head to see that Baihua Valley had vanished without a trace, and all the rocks and soil within a thousand feet around it had also disappeared with the wind.

Lin Xuan remembered clearly how he broke through the bottleneck; this method of exiting seclusion was indeed quite rare.

From another perspective, it could be said to be unique in its own way.

However, Lin Xuan did not correct the girls' mistake. In a blink of an eye, fifty years had passed. Although his second婴had come out once during that time, seeing his beloved disciple again after such a long separation felt like a world apart. "Alright, alright, no need for formalities," he said with a smile. "I don't appreciate all these rituals and ceremonies. You two should know."

"Yes!"

The girls stood up respectfully, their faces filled with joy. Shangguan Muyu then approached to offer her congratulations.

Following them, Lin Xuan returned to the main hall of Baihua Sect.

There was no need for further mention; the entire sect celebrated together. Shangguan Muyu personally prepared a feast in the kitchen. Her cooking skills were quite good, with various delicacies laid out on the table, their fragrance permeating the air. Although cultivators could practice alchemy to survive without food, occasionally satisfying one's appetite was not a bad idea.

Lin Xuan did not hesitate and indulged himself in eating and drinking heartily.

Grapes and fine wine... Unfortunately, he didn't know where Mo'er was now. Qixin had already ascended to the Spirit Realm earlier, and whether she had been cured of her poison or settled down in some dimension remained unknown. Yuan Yuan had also been closed off in seclusion since he left for Penglai Mountain; he wondered how she was doing at this moment.

The joy of advancement truly made him want to share it with his beloved, but they were all far away from him.

Lin Xuan sighed softly and showed a hint of loneliness. When would he be able to reunite with his wife?

"Master, what's wrong?"

A concerned voice entered his ears. Shangguan Ling's eyes showed confusion. In this celebration, there was no distinction between seniority; her two disciples were sitting beside him.

"It's nothing," Lin Xuan shook his head. "I'm just missing my family from the past. Drink up."

"Oh!"

Shangguan Ling didn't say anything more. Her beautiful eyes blinked repeatedly. Was Master thinking of his wife? He had never mentioned such a person before, and she wondered what kind of woman could make such an impressive man fall in love.

The young girl's curiosity was natural; children often have a nosy nature, but she refrained from speculating about her respected master. However, she had already imagined various scenarios.

On the other side, Lin Xuan put his emotions aside. After all, wallowing in sadness wouldn't help. He pursued the path of immortality and their temporary separation wasn't significant; as long as he worked hard, they would reunite one day. The cultivation world was full of danger, but he hoped that she could overcome them safely.

Lin Xuan was not a fussy person; his mood quickly returned to normal as he joined in the celebration with Baihua Sect's disciples. By noon, he had drunk himself into a stupor.

After waking up and washing up, he saw a beautiful girl waiting outside: "Greetings, senior."

"Master, no need for formalities. Do you have something for me?" Lin Xuan glanced at Shangguan Muyu.

"Yes."

She nodded. "The last time, you destroyed our enemies and let us handle their storage bracelets. We've already inventoried them all. Please take a look to see if there's anything you need."

As the head of the sect, Shangguan Muyu was also someone with discernment. Although Lin Xuan was generous, they still needed to be cautious. The items in the storage bracelets had to be selected by him first.

"Thank you for your efforts," said Lin Xuan with a smile. "I'll take a look."

"Let me lead the way; please follow behind."

Shangguan Muyu took a few steps forward as she spoke, leading them through winding corridors and past artificial waterfalls until they reached a large door.

The door was adorned with various talismans and miniature arrays, emitting a faint white glow. Clearly, there were powerful restrictions inside.

Without hesitation, Shangguan Muyu raised her hand, and an unknown time, a storage bracelet fell from her sleeve into her palm.

A red light shot out of the token and entered the door's aura... A creaking sound echoed in his ears as all the restrictions simultaneously vanished. The large door opened as expected.

"The defensive array on this door is quite good," said Lin Xuan, rubbing his forehead with a faint smile.

"Master has keen eyesight; originally, this was where Black Wind Bandits stored their treasures."

Lin Xuan nodded, understanding. Without hesitation, he followed Shangguan Muyu inside.

"This..."

Once they entered the circular hall, Lin Xuan was shocked. They were in a spacious room with a diameter of about a hundred feet, plain and unadorned. What caught his attention were the piles of treasures that seemed like small mountains.

There were various materials, spirit herbs, bottles, jars, and countless types of immortal pills. The sheer number far exceeded his expectations!
