Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

Tian Shu Star City is bustling with activity at this moment.

This is all because of Su Chen's killing of Wang Qiushan.

Many cultivators gathered in Tian Shu Star City specifically to learn about the events of that day.

Inside the teahouse, the monks gathered in a circle, discussing the matter.

The waiter squeezed through the gap between the tables, carrying a tea tray.

And I can't help but complain a little...

At that very moment, a pair of jade-like feet stepped into the teahouse.

The waiter approached with a grin; he was a complete stranger.

A plain silver ring adorned her small, jade-like foot.

She was a female cultivator, quite short, and looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Her face was slightly round, and she wore a light gauze dress, showing off her petite curves.

When the almond-shaped eyes swept over, the waiter was taken aback for a moment.

Such a pleasing and adorable face, yet she carries such a cold aura.

Moreover, I couldn't sense any cultivation level at all.

But it was the boy carrying the book box who was following behind.

Early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Esteemed immortals, there are elegant seats upstairs..."

"No need."

The female cultivator sat down at the table by the window, her jade-like feet pressed together beneath her gauze skirt, silver rings touching.

"Two pots of top-quality spiritual tea."

"Give me a few plates of the picked spirit fruits."

The pageboy unloaded the book box and leaned it against the table leg. He then took out three high-grade spirit stones from his sleeve and pressed them onto the table.

The waiter's eyes followed the three spirit stones, and then he ran off quickly.

"...I was on a cloud two hundred miles away at the time, and I saw everything clearly!"

Three tables away, a Nascent Soul cultivator stood with one foot on a stool, spitting as he spoke.

"When Su Chen's figure stepped out of the void, the entire sea mist of the Boundless Sea rose to the surface!"

"Wang Qiushan's Great Wilderness Starfall: Meteorites rained down from the sky, blocking out all the light."

"And the result?"

The monk slammed his hand on the table.

"Not even an incense stick's time!"

"With a single stroke of Su Chen's jade pen, the word 'slay' was uttered, and Wang Qiushan's mid-stage Void Refinement physical body, along with his protective star armor, was completely reduced to ashes!"

Everyone at the table craned their necks to listen.

"Where is the primordial spirit? Did it run away?"

"run?"

The cultivator clicked his tongue.

"A giant seal pressed down, and nine bolts of purple lightning coiled around its body. The old monster begged for his life three times, but he didn't even finish one of them."

"Now, the Starry Sky Dao Sect is practically destroyed."

"With the death of the Supreme Elder and the disappearance of Grand Elder Yun Changqing, the sect has no one left who can take charge."

"The most important thing is..."

The monk lowered his voice by half a point, which actually made more people hear him.

Before the battle, Su Chen sent a message to Tian Shu Star City in front of tens of thousands of cultivators.

"It was answered personally by Master Hongfu."

She said she wouldn't interfere and that Wang Qiushan should clean up his own mess.

"Judging from Su Chen's tone, that person is clearly an old acquaintance!"

The room erupted in uproar.

Some people slapped their thighs and said that Su Chen is now the number one among the combined beings in the human realm.

Some people shook their heads and said it was strange; how could someone at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm possess such abilities?

A cold snort came from the table by the window.

It wasn't heavy, but the discussions at the three surrounding tables all stopped simultaneously.

"Just arrived two days ago."

The female cultivator picked up a spiritual fruit, looked at it, and then put it back on the plate.

"I missed a good show."

"Even in the Upper Realm, a battle of Void Refinement is a rare sight, yet I was caught off guard on the way."

"Su Chen..."

Those two words rolled around on the tip of her tongue.

"It's as if it fell from the sky."

The page boy poured her half a cup of tea.

"Miss, most stories from the mortal realm are like this."

"These monks love to exaggerate and tell these stories for amusement."

The female cultivator didn't reply, but tapped her fingertip on the rim of the cup.

"I am going to see my martial uncle, who is currently in Qingzhou."

"Qingzhou?"

The female cultivator finally raised her eyebrows.

"I've already inquired about that place."

"The most desolate part of the three continents, with scarce spiritual energy, and not even a decent immortal city."

"My uncle is really something."

"Tian Shu Star City is very prosperous, with shops that have been around for hundreds of years on any street."

"I just had to go and hide in that godforsaken place."

"I haven't had enough fun yet."

The pageboy smiled wryly and didn't dare to offer any advice.

The female cultivator picked up the spiritual fruit she had previously rejected from the plate and took a bite.

"Let's go."

He pushed the cup onto the table; most of the tea was still left.

Go early and come back early.

.....

The snow outside the eaves melted for three days, but white snow was still embedded in the cracks of the bluestone in front of the hall.

The doors to the temple in Luoyan City were open.

Li Ziran sat in the main seat, with a thick velvet blanket draped over her knees.

The city lord's robe had been replaced with a new one, but the person holding it up had clearly shrunk a size.

After seven days of fierce fighting, Luoyan City's resources were depleted by 70%, and the old city lord himself was also depleted by 70%.

When Su Chen entered the hall, Li Ziran was counting a string of spirit beads. He forgot the number halfway through and simply threw it back on the table.

"Father-in-law".

"sit."

Li Ziran nodded towards the rosewood chair next to him.

"No need to ask, I am not fundamentally injured."

"My spiritual energy is depleted; I'll recover it slowly."

"It can take anywhere from three months to half a year."

Su Chen rolled up his sleeves to his knees and sat down.

"March is too rushed, half a year is not too late."

"No one in Luoyan City dares to knock on the door now."

Upon hearing this, Li Ziran burst out laughing.

"Indeed, no one dares."

"With that stroke of your pen, for the next few hundred years, who in the Xuanhuang Continent would dare to plot against Luoyan City?"

Li Ziran lifted the blanket up a bit.

"However, there are three things I must tell you while I still have the breath to tell you."

"I postponed your dual cultivation ceremony with Xueyuan Pavilion for three months."

That's understandable.

After all, it was during the battle between Li Ziran and Wang Qiushan.

Spiritual energy exhausted.

If an ordinary cultivator were to exhaust their spiritual energy, they would probably be able to recover after a few days of rest.

It can refine the spiritual power of cultivators, like a torrent from the heavens.

It's not something that can be done in a day or two to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish it.

After all, the spiritual energy in the human realm is inherently thin, unlike the legendary upper realm.

"That's fine then..."

Su Chen wasn't in a hurry...

I wonder if Bai Luwei is getting really anxious.

But Su Chen still had a lot of things to deal with at the moment.

They were somewhat neglecting Bai Luwei.

"It's important business. I'm handing over Luoyan City to you."

This surprised Su Chen.

"From this day forward, I will go into seclusion."

"I intend to hand over the position of Lord of Luoyan City to you."

Su Chen did not push it away immediately.

To be honest, Su Chen wanted this benefit.

Having drifted on the Xuanhuang Continent for so many years, I've fought my way up from a lowly cultivator in the market to the Void Refinement stage.

If we're talking about the most comfortable place, it really is Luoyan City.

Li Tianqi is here, Lin Wanwan is here, and the old shopkeepers who recognize their names are also here.

However, the scales in Su Chen's heart weighed down on the city on one side and other things on the other.

"Father-in-law".

Su Chen raised his eyes.

"I, Su, will not be in this position of city lord for long."

Li Ziran stopped.

"Now I, Su, know of the existence of the Upper Realm."

"I also learned that there is an even wider world beyond the Mahayana stage."

"Now that we know, it doesn't matter if it's ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years."

"One day, I, Su, will break free from the shackles of the human realm and seek the path to immortality in the spirit realm."

"What will happen to Luoyan City then?"

...
