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

The one who said this was the most clever boy among the guards.

He stroked his chin, analyzing each word carefully: "We just said too much, and he didn't want to listen, as if he was afraid of having his past exposed. But he seemed to be in a really good mood, so he threw some spirit stones over, asking us to let today's matter drop!"

The other guards nodded in agreement.

"That makes sense."

"The shopkeeper usually calls you a mind reader, and since you've said that, it must be true."

"Let's go, let's divide up and distribute the spirit stones."

After the guards divided up the spirit stones, they dispersed.

Meanwhile, the shopkeeper, who had been luring Zheng Heyan away, had been secretly observing the group of guards behind him with his divine sense. Seeing that they had accurately understood his meaning, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then I mentally gave that roundworm kid a thumbs up.

good boy.

Add chicken drumsticks.

Otherwise, the brotherhood he painstakingly cultivated would be wiped out in an instant.

Here, the Cloud Inn in Zhouhai City is entering a period of rapid development.

Meanwhile, Liu Rumei placed the spirit stones into the Star River Cloud Breaker and propelled the ship back at full speed.

Luo Huanzhen remained focused on meditating and cultivating in his seat.

Luo Huanzhen rarely cultivates in his daily life.

No, I should say I hardly practice at all.

Since Liu Rumei met Luo Huanzhen, this was the first time she had ever seen Luo Huanzhen truly and seriously cultivate.

Unsurprisingly, Liu Rumei was stunned by Luo Huanzhen's cultivation scene—

The entire flying boat seemed to carry a giant spirit-absorbing array.

Wherever he passed, the wind whipped up clouds, creating a grand and exaggerated spectacle. The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to have found its home, rushing to enter Luo Zhenhuan's body as if afraid that if it was too late, Luo Zhenhuan would dislike or reject it.

Luo Huanzhen's body absorbs spiritual energy not only through his dantian.

Her entire body seemed to be filled with spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy, like dancing sprites, darted into her internal organs and meridians. Her jet-black hair danced in the wind, and her body was gradually filled with countless points of light, emitting a shimmering glow.

When the light became abundant, Luo Zhenhuan stopped cultivating and began to compress and refine it.

This process is more complicated than her absorbing spiritual energy.

Because she couldn't suppress the pressure but still forced it, Luo Zhenhuan vomited blood several times. However, she did not give up and continued the hammering process as if ignoring the pain.

Even Yu Tianrong, watching from the side, couldn't help but feel her heart pounding with fear.

it hurts.

It felt like her body was being crushed by spiritual energy that was about to burst out of her body.

Indeed, geniuses pay a heavy price for the glory they receive...

Liu Rumei reached out and gently patted Yu Tianrong's hand: "We also need to work hard, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with her in the future."

Some things are very realistic.

Even among friends, it's best if you both continue to grow and improve.

Otherwise, even with the deepest friendship, if one party keeps moving forward and striving for higher goals while the other progresses too slowly, the distance between the two will only grow wider and wider.

We don't have anything in common.

Their intellectual and ideological levels are no longer compatible.

One day, even the best of friends will go from being in constant contact to not exchanging a single word for a year or two.

When the night grows quiet and I think back on it again, I can only feel endless emotions and heartache.

Liu Rumei's eyes were resolute.

Yu Tianrong nodded, seemingly understanding, "Master, I understand."

She can't yet fully appreciate the significance of those words, but that doesn't stop her from remembering them.

Remember, practice, and work hard—that's enough.

Anyway, Master wouldn't harm her.

Liu Rumei smiled gently, patted Yu Tianrong's head, her eyes tender and loving: "Good boy."

If she gets married and has children, especially daughters, will they be as lovely as Tianrong?

As the thought crossed her mind, Liu Rumei shook her head with a wry smile.

How is that possible?

Zhao Qing back then was a living hell.

If she gets married, she will surely die from exhaustion before she even has a child.

Life is good now.

She has enough natural beauty.

After Luo Huanzhen finished another round of cultivation, Liu Rumei looked outside, then withdrew her hand from stroking Yu Tianrong, came to Luo Huanzhen's side, and softly called out, "Zhenzhen."

Luo Huanzhen opened her eyes. "What's wrong, Sister Mei?"

Liu Rumei said, "Zhenzhen, the Xuantian Sect is not far ahead. Do you want to go back to the Xuantian Sect first?"

Medicine King Valley is still some distance away.

The Xuantian Sect is located a little in the middle, which is conveniently on the way.

Luo Zhenhuan sat on a small stool, his hands on his knees, and shook his head earnestly.

"Sister Mei, I believe you can handle Liu Ruoci on your own, but while I believe you, if you have the strength, I still want to come to Medicine King Valley with you. That way, even if something unexpected happens, I can cover for you."

Liu Rumei reached out and hugged Luo Huanzhen tightly. "Thank you, Zhenzhen."

Since she wasn't going to stay at the Xuantian Sect, Liu Rumei focused on speeding up her journey.

During the journey, Liu Rumei began to contact Xiaomei and told her about her current cultivation level, asking Xiaomei to return to Medicine King Valley first to make advance arrangements so that they could cooperate from the inside and outside when the two returned to the sect.

After receiving the order, Xiao Mei hurried to Medicine King Valley.

There were many people named Liu Rumei in Medicine King Valley, and Xiao Mei entered Medicine King Valley very easily.

After entering Medicine King Valley, Xiao Mei found a secluded spot to hide, keeping an eye on whether Liu Ruoci and the others had returned to the sect.

A few days ago, Xiaomei's text messages all said: Liu Ruoci has not yet returned.

Just as they were about to reach the foot of Medicine King Valley, Xiao Mei's message came again, this time urgent: "Miss, something has happened. Liu Ruoci has recently returned to the valley, captured Elder Qian, Elder Sun, and Elder Zhou, and imprisoned them in the Alchemy Mountain."

The couple lived in poverty.

For everyday audio transmission, we can't bear to use more expensive video transmission.

So all I bought were text-to-text transducers.

However, even looking at these fluctuating words, Liu Rumei could sense Xiaomei's panic and helplessness when conveying this information.

Liu Rumei's heart skipped a beat, and she panicked for a moment.

But things quickly stabilized.

Using her spiritual power as ink, she tore open a communication talisman, wrote in the air with her fingers, and quickly sent a reply to Xiaomei—

Xiaomei, don't worry. I've already arrived near Medicine King Valley and can sneak into the valley today. As for Elder Qian and the others, they are all at least at the Nascent Soul stage, with powerful souls. That Pill Mountain can't completely refine them for now, so wait for me to come and rescue them.
