After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Liu Rumei slowly stood up.

Besides the black charcoal on my face starting to fall off, the charcoal on my body also started to fall off.

As the charcoal-black skin fell off, new skin was revealed, undamaged, and with tiny crackles of lightning flowing across its surface, clearly indicating an extremely powerful physique.

Liu Rumei cast a cleansing spell on herself, then waved her hand and took out a purple dress from her storage bag and put it back on.

She looked down at her body, which had been tempered by lightning, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Is this the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator after being tempered by lightning?

If she used to be like porcelain that would break at the slightest touch, now she feels like a piece of solid metal!

His entire body was brimming with muscle and power, and his defenses were at maximum!

Yu Tianrong rushed to Liu Rumei's side immediately and knelt down at the edge of the pit.

"Congratulations, Master, on reaching the Nascent Soul stage!!!"

Luo Huanzhen stepped forward and said with a slight smile, "Congratulations, Sister Mei, you've reached the same realm as Liu Ruoci and Zhenzhen."

"Don't tease me, Zhenzhen. Although we seem to be at the same level, the difference between us is probably a hundred thousand miles." Liu Rumei slowly floated up from the pit and landed on the flat ground, shaking her head with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianrong looked up at Liu Rumei, a blank expression on her face: "Why?"

Liu Rumei tapped Yu Tianrong's forehead and said gently, "Do you know that this young sect leader is an all-around cultivator? She has no weaknesses. I won't go into the art of medicine, you've witnessed it with your own eyes. She is also proficient in Daoist arts, formations, body cultivation, and weapon crafting. As for her cultivation level, if she hadn't suppressed it, she probably would have already left with her master."

Although the outside world of Dongzhou generally knows that Luo is truly a prodigy.

There are many rumors and biographies circulating outside, but Luo Zhenhuan's actual situation is far more extraordinary than the talent she has shown!

Yu Tianrong stared at Luo Huanzhen in shock. After a long while, he murmured, "Sect Master Luo, let's shut it down. It's pointless."

Several hurried footsteps came from outside.

Seeing this, the three looked towards the entrance, and soon the innkeeper appeared before them with six or seven Nascent Soul stage guards.

Upon seeing Luo Zhenhuan, Liu Rumei, and Yu Tianrong, their faces lit up with joy.

Great.

With friends involved, there's someone responsible for this compensation.

If there's no one else, all that's left are the remains of the cultivator who failed their tribulation in the pit, and the storage bag they left behind.

Generally speaking, even if the cultivators who have accidents here leave behind storage bags, they don't dare to take them directly. Their relatives will come knocking, and then they'll have to settle accounts and discuss compensation, leading to frequent disputes.

Even worse, some lone wolf cultivators acted like they owned the place, coming to stay even though they had no money left. When trouble broke out, they were killed, and the villagers could only grit their teeth and accept their fate.

The shopkeeper's gaze swept over the three of them.

At a glance, they chose Liu Rumei, the oldest among them, who possessed an imposing aura—in reality, she had just undergone a tribulation of lightning and had not yet fully subdued it—as their leader.

So the shopkeeper stepped forward and said to Liu Rumei with a sorrowful expression, "Heaven is jealous of talent, fellow Daoist, please accept my condolences."

Liu Rumei: ?

Should I console myself?

Liu Rumei: "No, shopkeeper, you're overthinking it. I'm not dead. Are you here for compensation? How many spirit stones do you need? I'm willing to compensate you accordingly."

The shopkeeper pulled out an abacus from somewhere, looked around the cave, and was about to raise his hand to use the abacus when he paused.

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"You're not dead? What do you mean...?"

Is that what he meant?

Liu Rumei smiled and gave the innkeeper a definite answer: "It was I who was undergoing the tribulation, not my friend. I am truly sorry for destroying one of your cave dwellings. I am willing to compensate you for the damage."

After saying this, she gracefully bowed and gave a greeting.

The shopkeeper glanced at Liu Rumei, then strode forward, brushing past her to the large pit illuminated by the sunlight. He looked down—the ground was littered with debris, but there were no skeletons or storage bags.

He quickly walked up to Liu Rumei and stared at her for a long time.

The shopkeeper asked, "Are you a medical practitioner?"

Liu Rumei nodded and politely replied, "Yes."

The shopkeeper pointed to the hole above. "You are the one who just underwent tribulation, the medical cultivator?"

Liu Rumei nodded again and politely replied, "That's right."

The innkeeper's pupils widened suddenly for a moment, his gaze towards Liu Rumei changed, and he smiled in a flippant manner, "Oh dear, what are you saying, sir? This is such a small amount of money, there's no need for you to compensate us. Our inn will repair it ourselves; consider it a lucky charm for your breakthrough!"

Live!

A frail healer who survived a lightning tribulation!

This kind of person will definitely become a super strong person in the future, and it won't be difficult for him to transcend tribulation and ascend to immortality!

Befriending her is a way to boost the reputation of your spiritual hall!

And they even dared to talk about compensation or expenses—it's all so formal!

Liu Rumei: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper."

The innkeeper continued, "This cave is definitely not suitable for you. How about we arrange for you to stay in another cave? We at Yun Su Spirit Inn would like to make friends with you! Please go to Room Number One in the Heavenly Class. It has a wide view, and you can see the sea from the window. The spiritual energy array there was set up by a master of advanced array formations, making it several times more concentrated than other caves. Also, please feel free to tell us what else you need. Yun Su will do its best to arrange everything for you, without charging a single penny."

Liu Rumei blinked.

Ok……

It was expected that she would compensate me, and frankly, it was also expected that she wouldn't.

After all, a medical cultivator who has survived a tribulation of lightning has countless people he wants to befriend.

She knew just how popular she was right now.

But she really hadn't expected that Yun Su Ling Zhan would provide both food and freebies.

Luo Huanzhen, however, saw through the old man's plan behind his fawning smile at a glance.

She curled the corners of her lips and secretly transmitted her voice to Liu Rumei: "Sister Mei, the manager of Yun Su Spirit Inn is probably going to use your reputation as a healer who withstood the lightning tribulation as a selling point, and do some advertising to make money..."

No merchant is without cunning.

A medical cultivator who has survived a tribulation of lightning is a rare find in the history of the Eastern Continent.

Such a popular brand.

As expected of a merchant-cultivator who runs such a large and luxurious spirit inn, he immediately sensed the opportunity.

Liu Rumei smiled helplessly, but her identity could not be revealed for the time being.

So Liu Rumei said softly, "I appreciate the shopkeeper's kindness, but we are about to leave Zhouhai City. I am grateful for your understanding and kindness today, and I wish to befriend Yun Su. But could you please conceal my gender, age, and true appearance from others?"
