Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

A warm and comfortable little world, where spring lasts all year round, and delightful plants grow everywhere.

The door opened and closed, and a crack appeared.

Li Yu and Wen Xiutong, among others, stepped inside.

As a powerful force, Maoshan undoubtedly possesses its own small world.

And there's more than one place!

In the elegant and quaint courtyard.

When everyone arrived here.

Just then, I saw Aunt Sugarcane, who was heavily pregnant, holding a needle and thread, sewing small and exquisite clothes for babies.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Nine immediately strode forward, took the needle and thread from Auntie Cane's hand, and spoke with a hint of reproach.

"I've already told you, your most important thing right now is to focus on your pregnancy and wait for the baby to be born. Why do something so mentally and physically exhausting?"

Hmm... For a Golden Core cultivator, even sewing clothes has become a laborious and mentally taxing task.

It has to be said that Uncle Jiu, who is about to become a father, now views everything Aunt Zhe does with a bit of a filter.

Faced with Uncle Nine's concern, Aunt Zhe acted quite nonchalantly, snatching the needle and thread back from Uncle Nine's hands and speaking indifferently.

"I'm just knitting two garments, what's the big deal about it being mentally and physically exhausting?"

Stop worrying about these useless things.

While Aunt Zhe was complaining, she suddenly saw Li Yu and Chi Lian arrive. She immediately stood up happily, hugged her big belly and said.

"what?"

"Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Chi Lian, you two have arrived?!"

Li Yu stepped forward with a light laugh and offered his congratulations.

"Fellow Daoist Zhe Gu, congratulations on the birth of your son! Your dream has come true."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhe burst into laughter.

"Oh dear, why are you saying congratulations? I should be the one saying it."

"If it weren't for your help back then, I wouldn't have been able to win the heart of my beloved!"

At this moment, Uncle Nine, who was known as a beauty, looked extremely embarrassed.

Indeed, if it weren't for the evil little elixir provided by Li Yu back then, the two of them wouldn't have been able to get to where they are today.

It's absolutely true that Li Yu was the key figure in getting Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe together.

At this moment, Chi Lian stepped forward, stared at Zhe Gu's big belly for a while, and said with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Have you thought of a name for the baby?

Aunt Zhe ran her hand over her large belly, and a look of maternal love appeared in her eyes.

"No, I don't know what this child should be called either."

"I asked my senior brother to name it, but he's an idiot too. He thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a name."

"............"

After visiting Aunt Zhe, the group left.

As the child of Ninth Uncle and Aunt Zhe, he is also a beloved grandson whom Wen Xiutong highly values.

In order to give their child a better future, Wen Xiutong and Uncle Jiu paid a great price, refining various tonics every day and using a grand formation to nourish Zhe Gu's body.

Therefore, she cannot stay away from home for too long.

He spends most of his time in his room each day, receiving nourishment from the essence supplied by the grand formation...

In the pavilion, where celestial energy abounds.

Standing atop the mountain, the ethereal clouds seem within reach, and the surrounding air is filled with the gentle fragrance that soothes the soul and clarifies the mind.

Li Yu, Chi Lian, Shi Jian, Lin Jiu, and others sat here, each holding a cup of tea.

As for Wen Xiutong, as his master, Shi Jian and the others were somewhat restrained in his presence, so they left on their own.

The sugarcane berries are still half a month away from being harvested.

During this period, Li Yu would stay in Maoshan.

If he wants to talk to him, there will be plenty of opportunities later.

Let's leave the time to the younger generation...

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's been a long time."

"Your strength... is becoming increasingly unfathomable to us."

"If it weren't for the limitations of heaven and earth, you would have already broken through to the Out-of-Body stage."

Shi Jian sensed the profound and unfathomable aura emanating from Li Yu, and spoke with a hint of envy.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu chuckled and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, there's no need to rush. With your talent, reaching this level is only a matter of time."

Shi Jian shook his head helplessly at this answer.

Reaching Li Yu's level? It's possible.

But by the time he reaches Li Yu's current level, Li Yu will have already gone much further.

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Yu again in this lifetime.

Compared to Shi Jian's distress, Uncle Jiu was clearly much more open-minded.

He never compared himself to Li Yu.

This guy is a monster, there's no comparison.

Recalling how Li Yu had tricked him out of those rare and precious treasures back then, Uncle Jiu spoke expectantly.

"Fellow Daoist Li, my child is about to be born."

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Uncle Nine winked and spoke, looking rather irritating.

Li Yu smiled helplessly and replied.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be satisfied."

"I can only say, you got off easy."

These words immediately piqued Uncle Nine's curiosity.

Judging from Li Yu's words, this gift must be incredibly precious.

But this only made him more curious, and he was quite itching to get to know him.

However, seeing Li Yu's smiling face, clearly indicating that he was deliberately trying to pique Li Yu's interest...

Uncle Jiu knew that no matter how he asked, he wouldn't tell him.

Helpless, Uncle Nine could only take a big sip of the spiritual tea, trying to suppress his curiosity.

The crowd chatted about everything under the sun, from secrets within powerful factions to gossip about other groups, and even the outrageous actions of barbarians from beyond the borders...

Finally, they talked about the disciples who had been driven out of the house and started their own schools.

As he said this, Shi Jian smiled and spoke with a hint of smugness in his voice.

"That brat Shi Shaojian is quite promising. He survived the tribulation of lightning two months ago and broke through to the Golden Core stage. His lightning techniques are quite decent, and he is known as the Azure Thunder True Man."

After saying that, Shi Jian glanced at Simu and Qianhe, and spoke in a stern tone.

"You two need to speed things up as well, quickly break through to the Nascent Soul stage and achieve the position of True Monarch."

"Otherwise, if we are surpassed by the younger generation, wouldn't we become a laughing stock and embarrass ourselves?"

Upon hearing this, Si Mu, who had been quite happy, immediately lowered his head and said helplessly.

"Understood, Senior Brother! I can already sense that glimmer of spiritual energy in the Nascent Soul realm. Given some time, I'm confident I can break through!"

Chizuru also spoke resolutely.

"Me too! I've sensed the bottleneck in my Nascent Soul cultivation; I'm just a hair's breadth away from breaking through it!"

"I plan to descend the mountain in a while to vanquish demons and monsters, seek out powerful enemies, hone my skills to break through my bottleneck, and find that sliver of vital energy!"

Upon hearing Shi Jian say that his disciple Shi Shaojian had broken through to the Golden Core stage and achieved the status of a True Person, he was immediately struck by the news.

A hint of envy flashed in Uncle Jiu's eyes, but thinking about Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's recent performance, he felt much more gratified and was no longer too envious.
