You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

After Shi Zelan successfully formed the golden elixir, Master Decheng quickly took Shi Zelan away from the isolated island.
Before leaving, Master Decheng and Shi Zelan cleaned up the traces left behind.

As soon as their flying boat left the isolated island, someone came quickly towards the island.

The two sides just avoided each other perfectly. Master Decheng and Shi Zelan in the sky could both sense the movement towards the isolated island.

Master Decheng left at an increasingly faster speed. They flew back to the lake and found that there were many more people there.

Master Decheng's flying boat stopped in the air. He asked Shi Zelan, "Do you want to go somewhere else to consolidate your cultivation?"

Shi Zelan shook her head: "Uncle Master, I'm going to wait here for Xiaoliu and Xia Yu to come out."

After Master Decheng's flying boat stopped, Shi Zelan got out of the boat and saw Master Fang Cheng and Master Shan Zheng, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"Uncle, Master."

Master Fang Cheng stepped forward and patted Shi Zelan on the shoulder, saying with a smile: "Sister Lan, you are now a Jindan Master."

"Uncle Master, I haven't seen you and Master for a long time. I miss you."

Shi Zelan quickly laughed: "I'm happy."

After looking at her for a moment, Master Shanzheng said, "Sister Lan, the traces of the curse on your body have faded."

Shi Zelan nodded and said, "When I was at the bottom of the lake, I felt the curse loosen once, but afterwards it seemed that the man strengthened the power of the curse."

"Did it have any major impact on you?"

Shanzheng Zhenren asked Shi Zelan with concern, and she laughed after hearing it: "It doesn't have much impact.

I was practicing martial arts with the stone statue master at the time, and I felt the curse was getting stronger, so I counterattacked along with the martial arts."

"Hahaha, so happy."

Master Fang Cheng burst into laughter. Shi Zelan looked at Master Fang Cheng and said with a smile, "Master, has the sect found any information about that person?"

Master Fang Cheng shook his head. When Shi Zelan saw this, he said to him, "Uncle Master, the curse is loosened now.

I will eventually find a way to break the curse, and then I will know who that person is."

At this time, Master Decheng came over and said, "Fang Cheng, Shan Zheng, let her go back and consolidate her realm."

Zhenren Fang Cheng and Zhenren Shan Zheng escorted Shi Zelan to her residence, and they helped Shi Zelan block all the concerns.

After Shi Zelan entered his residence, he looked around, cleaned up some things, and then meditated and practiced.

The news of Shi Zelan's success in forming the golden elixir was naturally passed back to the sect, and then spread to the entire world of immortal cultivation.

Master Ge Lai of Tianyi Sect also received the news and immediately went to talk to the sect leader.

"Master, Yunyan Sect has produced another Jindan Zhenren, and I want to go and congratulate her."

The head of the sect looked at him and said: "The Yunyan Sect spread this news, but it also shows that this Jindan Zhenren has a low-key personality."

Master Ge Lai agreed, “Yes, when I first met her, I thought she was just a little disciple following Master De Cheng.

At that time, I felt that this young disciple's attitude towards Master Decheng was a little too casual.

Now I know that others are keeping a low profile. She is the daughter of an elite disciple of Zizai Peak, raised by the peak master himself. She is the eldest disciple of Zizai Peak’s generation.”

"Haha, Ge Lai, your brain is useful again."

"Master, when I came back last time, I told Master in detail about my friendship with Master Decheng of the Yunyan Sect."

"Okay, go congratulate Master Decheng first."

True Man Ge Lai passed the message to the Yunyan Sect's pharmacy and received feedback that True Man Decheng was not in the sect.

Master Ge Lai had no choice but to turn around and say to the headmaster: "Uncle Master, Brother Decheng is not in the sect."

"Have you sent out your congratulatory message?"

After Master Ge Lai nodded, the head of Tianyi Sect said, "Then there's no rush."

By the lake, the people of Yun Yanzong were all waiting for Shi Zelan. However, for several days in a row, Shi Zelan was meditating in the room.

Five days later, after Shi Zelan opened the door and came out, she stood by the lake for a long time.

Master Deguang from the Zhishi Hall came over, and Shi Zelan bowed to him: "Uncle Master, do you have something to ask me?"

"Yes.

Sister Lan, you said that this is the place where the foundation-building monks of the ancient sects practiced. How true is this news?"

Shi Zelan looked at him: "Seventy to eighty percent.

How about I try diving down and take a look?"

Master De Guang quickly shook his head and said, "You should consolidate your realm first.

The sect will arrange for foundation-building monks to come here."

After listening to Master Deguang's words, Shi Zelan asked, "Master, does our sect know about the affairs of the great sects in ancient times?"

Master De Guang looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "The sect has several records. When natural disasters and man-made disasters came together, the disciples of the big sects went there bravely, and they never returned."

Shi Zelan's eyes were sore. Master Deguang saw the tears flashing in her eyes. He looked at the calm lake.

"Our sect also sent people to provide support, but they also never returned."

"Uncle Master, I know that if the sect really needs me, I will be prepared to leave and never come back."

Master Deguang looked up at the sky and said, "Sister Lan, there is still no news about your parents."

"Uncle Master, are my parents' soul fires okay?"

"it is good."

"Okay, I believe they will return to the sect one day."

After Master Deguang left, Master Jilin from the Dharma Hall came over and asked Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, I want to know what you found at the bottom of the lake?"

Shi Zelan told him about her experience in Chaohu: "We have been in Pingcheng for a long time and attracted the attention of some people.

So we found this place, and when we got here, we just wanted to learn how to dive.

But over time, we felt that there were secrets hidden in this lake.

Once, when the three of us were diving, we were blown to the surface by a gust of air.

So the three of us decided to find out what was going on, and our idea was to go and come back the same day."

Master Ji Lin looked at Shi Zelan for a while and said, "After you consolidate your realm, if they still haven't found the entrance, can you accompany them down?"

Shi Zelan nodded and said, “Okay, but everyone needs to be prepared for the long term.

Look, I'm here, but Xiaoliu and Xiayu haven't come up yet."

Master Ji Lin nodded, thought for a moment and congratulated Shi Zelan, "Congratulations, Master Jindan."

Shi Zelan smiled at Master Ji Lin and said, "Uncle Master, thank you."

Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng sat in the distance, watching people coming and going around Shi Zelan.

Master Decheng smiled and said to Master Shanzheng, "You can now feel at ease with Sister Lan."

"As long as the curse on her is not broken, we will never be able to rest in peace."

"When Xiaoliu and Xia Yu come up, Xiaoliu and I will go back to the sect. What are your plans?"

"We also have to go back to the sect. It's not suitable for Sister Lan to stay outside the sect for a long time now."

"After Master Pingyang came out of retreat, what was his condition like?" (End of this chapter)
