Feeling the vigorous and surging aura below, Cao Zhengyang suddenly burst into laughter, then quickly covered his mouth, afraid of disturbing this girl.
"Now this is truly a prodigy. A month ago, she said she wanted to touch the threshold of the Golden Core Realm. I didn’t believe her, but I was proven wrong. Impressive, truly impressive!"
Cao Zhengyang was extremely excited. With a wave of his hand, several flags shot out and pierced the surrounding ground, instantly forming a soundproof light barrier.
Faintly, it seemed two colors of light were flowing on it.
Li Daoxuan and the other four also arrived from various directions. Seeing all this, they understood immediately and wore expressions of joy.
"Keep your voices down!" Cao Zhengyang hurriedly shushed the five.
The group nodded repeatedly and waited quietly.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that this aura began to slowly retract. Soon, the courtyard gate slowly opened.
Lu Yaoyao looked up at the six people in the air and instantly smiled happily.
"Master, I didn’t disappoint your expectations!"
Two more months passed in a flash. Zhou Qing had already been in closed-door training for three months.
Such a long disappearance, whether it was the disciples of Little Spirit Peak or the disciples of other peaks, seemed no longer paying attention to him.
They say that prolonged illness tests filial piety, not to mention others, even his senior brother Yan Xiaohu nowadays is rarely seen acting together with him.
This guy, every day he leads his eight followers, busy all day long, no one knows exactly what he’s busy with.
Thinking about it, this actually makes sense, after all, everyone has their own matters to attend to, they can’t always revolve around just one person, right?
Take Lu Yaoyao from Divine Peak for example, after successfully breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, the Sect Leader personally took her outside for training to broaden her horizons.
Chief Li Daoxuan, after some preparations, also quietly left the sect, seemingly to explore and understand his own realm.
Chief Du Kui and Luo Xue from Golden Sun Peak similarly left hurriedly a month ago. According to Elder Jiang Pu, who guards the Soul Lamp Tower, their junior brother seems to have encountered danger.
Half a month ago, Shi Zhen from Yuqing Peak successfully condensed a Profound Level Nascent Soul, which is a realm countless people dream of.
Upon successfully forming the Nascent Soul, Shi Zhen joyfully came to Little Spirit Peak to great news with Zhou Qing, only to be told Zhou Qing was in closed-door training.
According to Yan Xiaohu, Zhou Qing has chosen the path of body refining, which requires intense polishing of the physical body initially, resulting in severe body swelling now, making it inconvenient to meet anyone.
Though disappointed by this, Shi Zhen had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
As for the Peak Master of Yuqing Peak, Tong Min, she held a celebratory feast for seven days.
Many Peak Masters brought their disciples to send gifts, and the entire Yuqing Peak was engulfed in joy.
After seven days, Shi Zhen left with Senior Sister Pei Yan.
It turns out, although Shi Zhen has the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, she still lacks a lot of spirit stones to complete the Nascent Soul Formation.
She had sold many things before but still fell short of the necessary amount.
Coincidentally, Senior Sister Pei Yan returned from a mission then. Upon learning of Shi Zhen’s situation, she generously helped, giving Shi Zhen the foundation to step into the Nascent Soul Realm.
Since Senior Sister Pei Yan needed an extra hand for another mission, Shi Zhen left with her to help.
Furthermore, Shi Zhen needed to figure out a way to earn enough money for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill and repay Zhou Qing.
She needed to repay this favor!
And just today, at the foot of Taiqing Sect, a dusty figure stopped her steps.
Her clothes were tattered and patched, looking like a beggar’s, with patches in mismatched colors.
The edge of her clothes had dried mud, looking like she had trekked through mud.
On her head, she wore a broken bamboo hat, its edges somewhat worn out, with a few cloth strips hanging loosely, as if she’d been through a rough journey.
As the sun shone down, she slowly adjusted the hat, revealing a wheat-colored female face underneath.
At first glance, she looked ordinary, but upon closer inspection, she showed a unique beauty.
Despite the traces of wear and tear, her eyebrows were long and delicate, her eyes clear, her nose well-shaped, and her facial features proportionately perfect.
Like an unrefined jade, covered by mud but capable of revealing stunning beauty with a little polishing.
However, besides some joy, her eyes also showed a hint of caution.
She turned her head helplessly, looking behind her, and frowned as she spoke.
"How long are you going to follow me? I’ve reached home, you can leave now!"
At this moment, a dusty middle-aged man behind her climbed up, panting heavily.
He gasped for breath, reached out, unable to speak a word, directly sat on the ground, took out a water bottle, and drank heavily.
Finally, he poured some water on his head and shouted, "Refreshing!"
This man similarly wore tattered clothes, full of dust and wrinkles, but his eyebrows were thick, like two caterpillars perched above his eyes, trembling with his breath, giving a sense of honesty.
Luo Lingling frowned slightly, forming a small "川" character, then turned straight away and left.
The man hurriedly found a nearby stick, used it as a cane, and chased after her.
