Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 430 Paying Homage to Elder Lin [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Qingzhushan Market.

The Zhou family's ancestral hall is located in their clan's territory.

Under the cover of night, a figure silently appeared inside the ancestral hall. At this moment, Lin Chang'an looked at Zhou Bingyun's memorial tablet and sighed softly with a melancholy expression.

"I am back."

A simple voice echoed, but no one responded.

How could he not know what that girl was thinking back then?

However, my cultivation level was too low back then, and I couldn't even protect myself in this turbulent world of cultivation, let alone anything else.

This is also why he has never easily gotten involved in relationships over the years. He has to keep moving forward, and out of selfishness, he naturally doesn't want to cause sadness on his journey.

The Zhou family has developed well in recent years, thanks to the fact that the clan has a near-third-tier clan-guarding spirit beast, and Zhou Bingxuan formed a false core at the Xuan Yin Pavilion on Five Dragons Island.

The Zhou family's steady development over the years has not been in vain; they have grown from a Foundation Establishment family to a Core Formation family.

The candles flickered, and the three sticks of incense burned out, but there was no one left in the ancestral hall.

The entire Zhou family was unaware of this.

The Zhou family's power and influence are one of the reasons why the Li and Shen families settled in Qingshuiwan Marketplace so early on.

……

Returning to the familiar place, Lin Chang'an did not use his powerful escape techniques, but instead slowly walked to the streets of the market.

The market is just as lively at night, but the buildings here have changed a lot in the past three hundred years, making it both familiar and strange.

It seemed to be telling him that things had changed, and this place was no longer the same as when he was there.

Those people from before are no longer here.

"A mid-grade magic artifact, come and take a look."

"Golden Marrow Pill, a spiritual elixir to enhance cultivation."

"The inheritance jade slip of a first-tier mid-grade Fiery Talisman."

Even under the cover of night, the market was still bustling with activity, filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.

Lin Chang'an walked past with a relaxed smile, but he was no longer as cautious as he had been when he was still a Qi Refining cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, this is a mid-grade first-tier blazing fire talisman inheritance. I obtained it from the scene of a battle between cultivators I encountered in the Cloud Mist Mountains some time ago..."

Perhaps it was due to the quality of Lin Chang'an's robes and his demeanor; even though he had concealed his spiritual light, the confidence of a powerful person could not be faked.

An old man in front of a stall grinned and stepped forward to promote his treasures.

Looking at the incomplete jade slip, Lin Chang'an seemed to recall some unpleasant experience, causing his eye to twitch.

"Fellow Daoist, I am already quite old and have given up on cultivation. This jade slip contains fifty low-grade spirit stones."

The old man grinned and held up five fingers, and Lin Chang'an immediately recognized that the old man was a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Although he could clearly perceive it using his divine sense, Lin Chang'an, with a heart set on wandering the mortal world, simply smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"I'll bet three low-grade spirit stones on whether it's true or not."

"Oh my, fellow Daoist, this is no price!"

"Don't go, okay, three yuan it is."

The old man looked distressed, yet afraid he might regret it, so he finally stamped his foot to complete the transaction, not forgetting to add a word of advice:
“Fellow Daoist, I found this jade slip outside. You should find someone who is proficient in talismans to take a look at it.”

After saying that, the old man took the three low-grade spirit stones and returned to his stall with a smile.

However, Lin Chang'an smiled and shook his head. Looking at the jade slip in his hand, he noticed a clear mark of damage and had a bad feeling.

As soon as it was opened, Lin Chang'an's lips twitched.

Sure enough, it's that same old trick again, using special damaged marks to lure in experienced players.

When he looked up, the old man had already secretly run away.

Although he could find it with just a little divine sense or a little effort.

But when he realized he had been tricked, he just smiled wryly and let out a carefree laugh.

"Nothing has changed at all; the cultivation world has always been the same."

Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Lin Chang'an smiled calmly and strode away into the distance.

This time, he seemed to have no regrets.

He started his journey into the world of cultivation here, and now that he has returned, he is a Nascent Soul cultivator.

As time goes by, this place is just a beautiful memory in his long life.

He is walking a long, endless road, and there will be many beautiful memories along the way. If he looks back, he can simply look back.

Because this is the path he came from, but his goal has never changed, and he has always moved forward.

He still has a long way to go.

"I'm leaving now. I hope that when I come back next time, I will have become a powerful being."

Lin Chang'an chuckled and walked out of the market. However, just as he was in a good mood, two figures appeared furtively behind him.

"Brother, this person must be from out of town, and he must be quite wealthy."

"We contacted the other brothers and took care of this person."

The two were secretly exchanging messages, clearly indicating that they were also experienced cultivators.

However, just as the two were about to continue their pursuit, the instant they took a step, their pupils contracted, their eyes still revealing their intention to continue the pursuit.

However, the two had already lost their breath and lay limply on the ground.

"Two penniless bastards who are only at the Qi Refining stage."

At this moment, the Phoenix Bird looked at the two storage bags, which it had never seen before, with disdain. With an annoyed wave of its hand, the two turned into ashes.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang'an, who was in the distance, squinted his eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment in the moonlight.

The bustling market, the cunning old cultivators, and the tribulation cultivators—I really miss those days.

"gone."

"Master, wait for me."

A phoenix landed on Lin Chang'an's shoulder, and its figure gradually disappeared into the moonlight.

……

Clearwater Bay Market.

Shen Lie, Lu Qingqing, and Erniu's descendants are all doing well, perhaps because the Zhou family is in Qingzhushan Market.

The Shen and Li families have maintained a long-standing friendship, which is partly due to external circumstances.

Even now, both families have a good relationship with the Zhou family.

Currently, the two families are still in power, with Shen Zhuang and Li Tianmo being the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who are both over two hundred years old and have begun to decline.

Lin Chang'an did not show himself. Instead, he first paid his respects to Master Lu, who had guided him onto the path of immortality, and then went to see Erniu, Shen Lie, Lu Qingqing, and Wei Buyi.

These are old friends who once walked alongside me.

Unfortunately, in just three hundred years, he is now the only friend he has left.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but think of Yun Yao and sighed softly.

Given Yun Yao's seemingly cold but actually warm nature, if she were with him right now, she would definitely come and take a look.

The next day, as the sun rose, Lin Chang'an had already left the two once-familiar markets.

Before the tombstones of Erniu, Shen Lie, Lu Qingqing, and Wei Buyi, there was an extra pot of spirit wine and the incense and candles that had burned out and cooled down, which seemed to indicate that someone had been here last night.

But a gentle breeze blows, and a fine layer of dust falls, as time once again conceals everything.

……

The bright sunshine shone down.

This trip is enough. As for the Demon Beast Abyss, one reason is that he has only been gone for a few decades, and another is that the place is too chaotic.

It wouldn't be good if he caused any trouble, since he was actually holding the Ice Lotus Frost Flame. If he accidentally exposed himself and was recognized, the trouble would be huge.

"This harvest was quite good. Not only was my mind clear, but my spiritual sense also reached the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In addition, I also obtained a considerable amount of spiritual items for Nascent Soul formation."

The pool of spiritual liquid, after being purified by his profound magical power, yielded a total of five parts Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects.

"It really is like getting rich overnight."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a satisfied smile. Nascent Soul spiritual items are not cheap, with one item worth around 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.

He had just formed his Nascent Soul stage and said that besides these magical treasures, he didn't have many spirit stones on hand. But in the blink of an eye, he made a fortune.

Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones would be a painful sum even for an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, since not everyone has his skills.

The tributes from those below are simply not enough; only long-term accumulation will suffice.

At the same time, it can be seen how cunning this Wood Spirit Infant is, actually using this spirit creature to fish. One can imagine how many people would knowingly take the bait despite the danger.

"This Spirit Spring Tree used this as bait. Now that I have taken all the spiritual liquid, the Wood Spirit Infant will surely activate its main body and condense spiritual liquid again, but this will take time."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh softly; his grand plan to make a fortune was probably doomed.

One reason is that producing spiritual liquid takes time, and another is that this spirit infant is extremely fierce. Having learned its lesson once, it will surely be more prepared next time.

"Unfortunately, even knowing the dangers, many people still risk their lives every year to seek the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul."

Just like him, if there is no other choice, they will definitely try to take a risk.

"In this way, we have the spiritual item for the Phoenix Cry Bird's Nascent Soul formation, but the most crucial thing is still the tribulation. It seems that after returning this time, we will need to exchange for one or two spiritual items for the tribulation."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but ponder, beginning to consider the various forces within the Protectorate Alliance.

The most powerful tribulation for demonic beasts is the lightning tribulation when they transform into human form, while the tribulation of inner demons is what human cultivators fear most, and the lightning tribulation is much weaker in comparison.

This leads to most spiritual beings undergoing tribulation being of average quality.

"The Spirit Beast Sect of the Six Demonic Sects must have spiritual items related to demonic beasts undergoing tribulations, but it's too far away, and we don't have much of a relationship with them. However, the Protectorate Alliance has spiritual items related to spirit beasts undergoing tribulations..."

After thinking it over carefully, Lin Chang'an realized that Corpse Valley was the only option.

The lightning tribulation experienced by this fourth-tier corpse refiner is no less severe than that experienced by a demon beast.

Therefore, Corpse Valley definitely has a say in matters concerning spiritual objects obtained through tribulation.

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but ponder deeply.

"If we make a deal with Corpse Valley, they will most likely agree, but it would be easy to aid the enemy."

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Chang'an sighed helplessly, "Then there is only one last way."

"This mysterious Fellow Daoist Mingyue was able to produce a fourth-tier fire-attribute demon core last time, so he must have other treasures as well. Moreover, this Fellow Daoist has been eyeing the Phoenix Cry Bird for a long time."

Lin Chang'an pondered for a moment. Although this fellow Daoist Mingyue was mysterious, at least he was not like the Corpse Valley, who was the enemy in front of him.

"After we get back, we'll contact this Fellow Daoist Mingyue. After all, we're all working towards the secret realm."

He was traveling to find the Nascent Soul Spirit Object, the Tribulation Transcending Spirit Object, and finally, the Tribulation Transcending Spirit Land.

Along the way, he found three suitable places.

On the outskirts of the Demon Abyss Forest, there are two mountains of earth fire, which are also places where the fire attribute is concentrated, thus limiting the rampant demonic energy.

However, if the Phoenix were to undergo its tribulation in this place, it would inevitably attract demons from the Demon Abyss Forest.

After all, they are natural enemies, and their instinct is to devour each other.

Another place is a desolate wasteland of endless yellow sand, a fiery peak, unbearably hot, where fire often erupts from the ground.

"With this trip, at least the Phoenix's breakthrough is almost complete. Next up are the troubles from the Mystic Sound Pavilion or the Seven Kingdoms Alliance."

There is a bond of kinship between them, and moreover, he is, after all, an elder of the Xuan Yin Pavilion.

Moreover, after he reached the Nascent Soul stage, although the cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance had a desire to curry favor, they also genuinely made up for the dividends he had received during his absence over the years.

They even presented a grand gift for the baby's first birth.

In addition, he recently learned that the main force of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance is now returning to the Seven Kingdoms in large numbers. The biggest reason for this is that the miasma is beginning to dissipate, and the Seven Kingdoms will once again be suitable for a large number of cultivators to practice.

Even due to the previous disturbance of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy of the seven kingdoms has become even more concentrated.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, Five Dragon Island was already on the verge of turmoil, and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance naturally did not want to continue to expend its strength.

"With the retreat of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, the waters around Five Dragon Island have become a branch altar jointly established by the Seven Kingdoms Alliance. And the trouble that Xuan Yin Pavilion and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance have encountered recently is still due to the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect."

Upon thinking of his old acquaintance from the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but reveal a hint of murderous intent.

He is no longer the Core Formation cultivator who could only cause trouble in secret and then try to escape.

……

The Xuan Yin Pavilion sect in the Yue Kingdom.

"Hehehe, you two fairies can't protect the Xuan Yin Pavilion now, so you'd better surrender obediently." A series of booming sounds came from the valley. The Zhao Lingyue and Zhao Lingxing sisters joined forces and used a combined attack technique, but they were also facing two Core Formation cultivators.

One of them even has the cultivation level of the late Core Formation stage. Although the two sisters are also at the mid-Core Formation stage, they can even fight against late-Core Formation stage cultivators when they join forces.

But ultimately, he was still practicing wood-attribute techniques, and was not good at killing or fighting.

"Pah! Stop with your disgusting thoughts!"

The younger sister, Zhao Lingxing, spat in disgust and said angrily that the other party was not only targeting the two sisters, but also the entire Xuan Yin Pavilion.

In the Demonic Beast Sea Abyss, who doesn't know that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect is the largest market for cultivators, whether it's making corpse puppets or trading people?

"Hehe, little fairy, you're quite feisty. I bet you have a sweet tongue too. Once I take over your Xuan Yin Pavilion, you'll be my furnace."

The two people opposite him were a bald man with a face full of fat and his triangular eyes were filled with greed. Their obese bodies had a foul stench that could be smelled from afar, which was obviously caused by the cultivation techniques they practiced.

The other one, with a gloomy face and emaciated appearance, was a skeleton, but beneath his sinister smile, his cultivation level was the highest.

"Stop talking nonsense. Take down these two, and take the entire Xuan Yin Pavilion with us. We can definitely get a good price for it."

"No way, I'll keep this sweet-talking girl."

"Then we'll deduct it from your share."

The next moment, the two sides clashed again.

Both of them were members of the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, and their main business was plundering, especially female cultivators, and they were engaged in the human trafficking business.

Meanwhile, the protective array of the Xuan Yin Pavilion sect in the distance shrank, and many disciples inside were struggling to hold on.

There were more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators on the mountaintop, who joined forces to form a battle formation. They began to use secret techniques after making hand seals, and started to ram into the mountain gate.

"Haha, the mountain gate is about to be breached! This Xuan Yin Pavilion is a rare sect in the cultivation world where female cultivators gather. We've struck it rich this time!"

Leading them were a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation and two pseudo-Core Formation cultivators, all greedily eyeing the Xuan Yin Pavilion's mountain gate.

In the cultivation world, others kill to steal treasures, but the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect goes even further, preferring to capture cultivators alive and sell them for a good price.

Female cultivators, in particular, have always been highly sought after in the cultivation world.

"That Fairy of Rainbow Robes has been missing for decades. She probably perished outside. It's truly a pity. Otherwise, such a beauty would have been a great achievement even if she had been offered to a Nascent Soul cultivator."

The leader, a Core Formation stage cultivator with gray hair, licked his lips, revealing a greedy look. He dared not ask for anything else; finding a few Foundation Establishment female cultivators to cultivate with would not be bad at all.

"Oh, I wonder which Nascent Soul stage expert you intend to offer this to?"

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in their ears, and before they could react, a figure appeared in front of them.

The newcomer was Lin Chang'an, who calmly looked at the group of cultivators.

“A Nascent Soul cultivator…”

Upon seeing the newcomer, the white-haired old man at the head of the group's pupils contracted, and then a look of fear appeared on his face.

"Please... Senior, spare us! We were just following orders. If you like them, you can have them all..."

"Noisy!"

However, Lin Chang'an snorted irritably, and instantly a terrifying aura rippled outwards.

The battle formation composed of more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators collapsed directly under the aura of the Nascent Soul cultivators, with each of them spitting out blood, clearly suffering a backlash.

"Senior, spare my life..."

The sound abruptly stopped. The old man, who was in the early stage of Core Formation, had bloodshot eyes and a bloody hole in his abdomen. His golden core had disappeared.

"Run away!"

Upon seeing this, the other two pseudo-core cultivators screamed in terror and tried to flee, but before they could react, a golden light flashed.

The lightning flashed with golden arcs, a speed that was extremely fast for a Core Formation cultivator, but Lin Chang'an, with his terrifying Nascent Soul level divine sense, could still perceive it.

The phoenix darted about excitedly, and while killing enemies, it didn't forget to extend its claws to grab their storage bags.

Lin Chang'an was speechless at the sight; he really didn't know where this habit came from.

The two Core Formation demon cultivators fighting in the distance naturally sensed what was happening here, and their expressions changed drastically in an instant.

"Oh no! The others have vanished in an instant! Run!"

"How could there possibly be a Nascent Soul stage monster!"

In an instant, they were all gone, and the Nascent Soul cultivator aura that Lin Chang'an had just released was not concealed and was naturally sensed by the two of them.

The two were decisive people, and without the slightest hesitation, they immediately separated and fled.

The two sisters, Zhao Lingyue and Zhao Lingxing, who were panting heavily, were also shocked. How could a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appear?
"Sister, let's hurry back to the sect and lead all the disciples to pay our respects to this Nascent Soul senior."

The elder sister, Zhao Lingyue, instantly assessed the situation. They were not like these demonic cultivators and had no foundation here.

The sects couldn't escape here; they had almost perished when facing the Demonic Sect, let alone this legendary Nascent Soul senior.

Now they must be respectful and not offend anyone in the slightest.

far away.

"How is that possible? Didn't our ancestor already restrain Lu Zhenjun in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss? How could there be a Nascent Soul cultivator in this remote area?"

The skeletal-looking cultivator fled at breakneck speed, scattering in panic like a frightened bird.

"No, I must survive, even if it means burning my lifeblood."

The next moment, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his magical power emanated a bloody aura, clearly indicating that he had begun to burn his essence blood.

boom!
Just then, a cyan-gold light suddenly appeared in the distance and lifted him up in an instant.

"Oh, where are you going to run off to?"

Under the sunlight, Lin Chang'an held the other person's neck with one hand. Under the other person's terrified gaze, he realized that he had lost control of his entire body.

With a crackling sound, a layer of frost covered his entire body. This terrifying coldness actually caused a late-stage Core Formation cultivator to lose consciousness.

"Senior...Senior, spare our lives! We are also serving Ancestor Xuan Yin..."

"Noisy!"

Lin Chang'an let out a cold shout and instantly exerted force with his palm. Under a terrifying suction force, the opponent's pupils trembled, and his primordial spirit was already devoured by the immortal vine.

Lin Chang'an had seen through the memories of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator spanning hundreds of years in a short time.

"No need for explanation, I will see for myself."

As he slowly opened his eyes, Lin Chang'an gained a deeper understanding of the turmoil in the Demon Beast Abyss.

This Xuan Yin Old Demon has truly gone mad.

Or perhaps, after emerging from the secret realm, the Cold Flame, which had been plotting for three hundred years, was gone, as was the Profound Yin Divine Fire, and the Holy Maiden fled with the treasures.

Even the direct disciples, who were also successors of the Insect Demon, disappeared without a trace.

Enraged, the old demon Xuan Yin completely sided with the demonic path, committing a series of crimes in the outer sea in an attempt to find the two traitors.

In recent years, he has joined forces with the Demonic Path to fight against the Azure Sea Palace.

These two were also planning to plunder the rear while their ancestor fought in the front.

"This Demon Beast Abyss is really chaotic."

Some people in the outer sea say that the treasure Cold Flame in the secret realm has been obtained by the demonic path, while others say that it was obtained by the Azure Sea Palace long ago. In short, everyone has their own reasons and can produce some so-called evidence.

There was also a worm demon who, after forming a nascent soul, launched a revenge attack on the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, forcing the old demon to seek refuge with the Demon Lord.

"It seems the turmoil in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss is quite deep."

He knew perfectly well that the Ice Lotus Frost Flame was in his hands, yet the Demon Beast Abyss had descended into such chaos.

This left Lin Chang'an speechless. Clearly, someone was stirring up trouble in the shadows, causing chaos in the outer seas, with the sixteen sects of Zhenhai suspicious of each other and unable to join forces.

The beneficiary was undoubtedly Bihai Palace; anyone could guess that.

But what Nascent Soul cultivators fight for at this stage is all about various opportunities. Facing the Cold Flame and the successor of the Insect Demon, these are all tremendous opportunities.

Conspiracy!

"Owner."

Just then, a golden light flashed, and with a flap of its golden wings, the Phoenix Cry Bird arrived in front of it, its claws still holding another Core Formation cultivator who had already lost his life.

"Master, I've already taken care of this person. Here's the storage bag."

The phoenix bird handed over its storage bag somewhat guiltily, and Lin Chang'an turned a blind eye to it.

He absolutely refused to believe that the bird hadn't embezzled anything.

"No one discovered it, right?"

"How could that be? I did it very quickly, there's absolutely no way anyone could have discovered it."

Seeing that its master hadn't mentioned the spoils, the Phoenix Bird secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then excitedly flapped its wings, saying that it had definitely not left any clues.

Lin Chang'an didn't say anything more, and with a wave of his hand, he erased all traces.

He no longer cares much for the assets of a Core Formation cultivator.

Upon opening it, Lin Chang'an shook his head in disappointment.

He still harbored a sliver of hope that perhaps this late-stage Core Formation cultivator's Nascent Soul storage bag contained some valuable items.

"As expected, these cultivators who have been adventuring for years, how could they possibly have much savings?"

Lin Chang'an shook his head. Cultivators who primarily plunder will always convert any resources they acquire into their own strength.

And this Nascent Soul artifact is not something that ordinary cultivators can obtain.

"Alright, come back now. The cultivators from Xuan Yin Pavilion will be here soon."

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Chang'an raised his hand, and the Phoenix Bird helplessly transformed into a small bird and disappeared into the spirit beast pouch.

……

"Elder, look! What's that?!"

"Elder Lin!"

Among the group of Xuan Yin Pavilion cultivators, Zhao Lingyue and Zhao Lingxing were naturally the leaders, and Zhou Bingxuan was also in the group.

When they saw the figure in the distance, the three were clearly shocked, and then excited.

The news of Lin Chang'an achieving Nascent Soul cultivation had already spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, so they naturally knew about it.

But they really didn't expect that Lin Chang'an, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, would not be in the Protectorate Alliance, but would actually appear here.

"Meet the true king!"

"Greetings, Elder Lin."

Behind him, some Foundation Establishment cultivators, filled with trepidation, called out "True Lord" to the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Only Zhao Lingyue, Zhao Lingxing, and Zhou Bingxuan were addressed as Elder Lin.

This title surprised the people following behind, followed by delight. It seemed that the three elders inside the gate recognized this Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Only a few people seemed to realize something upon hearing Elder Lin's surname, but they still found it hard to believe.

However, Lin Chang'an was naturally unaware of the changes in these people's expressions.

Looking at the familiar figures and some unfamiliar ones, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but nod approvingly.

“Indeed, it seems that Fellow Daoist Ni Chang made the right choice in arranging for the two of you to return to Yue Kingdom back then.”

The Zhao sisters, Lingyue and Lingxing, bowed respectfully with great excitement.

The sect leader had naturally done them a great favor, but Elder Lin had also shown them kindness when he formed his core.

"If it weren't for Elder Lin back then, my sister and I wouldn't have such good fortune today."

The two sisters bowed gratefully, while Zhou Bingxuan, standing to the side, was filled with envy.

Yes, what a stroke of luck back then, it's a pity she only managed to form a false core.

"You're not bad either; the Zhou family has been doing well these past few years."

Then Lin Chang'an looked at Zhou Bingxuan and nodded slightly in appreciation.

"I don't deserve Senior Lin's praise."

Zhou Bingxuan hurriedly bowed respectfully, but in her words and actions, the once mischievous girl was now the current patriarch of the Zhou family.

The childishness of the past is gone, replaced by a sense of composure and restraint.

Lin Chang'an sighed inwardly at this scene, for this was the price of growing up.

The group from Xuan Yin Pavilion were extremely excited, as the Nascent Soul True Monarch had once been an elder of their Xuan Yin Pavilion.

　Thank you to fellow Daoist 'Book Friend 20230123215140504' for the 200 spirit stones reward.

　　Thank you to all the fellow Daoists who have supported me.
