Zi Ying escorted Lin Xi all the way to the main peak of Shuiyue Peak before riding away on a bird.

Lin Xi remembered that his master, Qiu Gulan, should be resting in a side hall at this time, so he immediately went to report.

Qiu Gulan, the current peak master of Shuiyue Peak, is a genuine Saint Realm expert.

To date, including Lin Xi, she has a total of three true disciples.

Each and every one of them is exceptionally gifted.

Lin Xi is the second disciple, ranked second, and is also the disciple on whom she places the highest hopes.

Although Qiu Gulan is powerful, she is conservative in her thinking, follows the rules, and is obsessed with cultivation.

He was relatively harsh on each of his disciples.

Following her memory, Lin Xi quickly arrived at the Qian Yue side hall.

On the high platform of the side hall's Taoist temple.

A graceful woman, around thirty years old, dressed in a light blue dress and cinched at the waist with brocade and silk, sat elegantly on a futon.

She is like a boat that crosses the distant mountains of Qiaozhen by rain and dew, tranquil and elegant.

With an elegant and graceful demeanor, she possesses the charm of a delicate orchid.

But upon closer inspection, one can discern a natural air of authority in his brows.

"Master."

When she saw Lin Xi arrive and bowed in greeting, she finally raised her bright eyes, and a smile appeared on her face, which hadn't been smiling for a long time.

"You're back? Have you taken care of things at home?"

Lin Xi nodded gently, "The family matters have been temporarily taken care of."

"That's good. Only by dealing with this issue can you calm your mind and focus on your spiritual practice."

"Not bad. I haven't slacked off in my cultivation during these days away. I'll probably be able to break through to the later stage soon."

Sensing Lin Xi's presence, Qiu Gulan's face showed a hint of satisfaction.

"This disciple will do his best to break through his cultivation level and live up to Master's name."

Qiu Gulan pondered for a moment.

"You arrived just in time, otherwise I might have had to personally bring you back."

"Soon, the ancient bell of Shangqing Peak will ring once every three hundred years to seek immortality. At that time, a few true disciples from each peak will have the opportunity to comprehend the Daoist charm of the ancient bell."

"You and Shu Yun are both qualified to go. When the time comes, you will go together, and how much you gain from it will depend on your own fate."

"A thousand-volt ancient bell?!" Lin Xi was slightly taken aback.

She had naturally heard of the Xuanling Sect's Thousand-Voltage Ancient Bell.

Legend has it that an old ancestor of Shangqing Peak, Emperor Qianfu, unfortunately perished when he was about to break through to become an immortal, but his magical artifact was left behind.

Furthermore, it was imbued with immortal power after being baptized by the lightning tribulation.

Although the current 1,000-volt ancient bell is somewhat damaged, it can still be considered a near-divine artifact.

However, although the master is dead, the ritual implement still possesses a spirit.

Every three hundred years, the ancient bell will awaken and ring out immediately upon awakening.

Inheriting its owner's dying regret, the bell tolls in prayer for immortality.

Over the years, the sound of the Immortal-Seeking Bell has become an opportunity for many talented disciples to comprehend the Dao.

However, even though it is an opportunity, it also depends on one's understanding and the right timing.

Throughout history, there have been many disciples who have gained nothing from the sound of the bell.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity to ring the bell for seeking immortality will reappear soon.

"Remember this, and I hope you will gain something unexpected from this bell ringing for immortality."

"This disciple will certainly devote himself to comprehending it."

After Qiu Gulan gave a few more instructions, Lin Xi took his leave of Qianyue Palace and headed to a blessed land.

He did not return directly to his dojo.

Because of her previous experiences, Lin Xi had already anticipated that she would soon break through, and she now needed to find a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion.

This time, the target is the Extreme Ice Cave of Shuiyue Peak.

Shuiyue Peak is based on tens of thousands of majestic peaks and nine hundred blessed grottoes.

The Extreme Ice Cave is one of the treasure troves.

Legend has it that the remains of a real ice phoenix are buried deep within this cave.

Cultivators who have mastered the ice attribute will find it much easier to achieve their goals here.

soon.

Lin Xi flew over dozens of treacherous mountain peaks and finally arrived at the Extreme Ice Cave.

As she arrived, the surrounding disciples were drawn to her.

"This is... Senior Sister Lin Xi? Senior Sister Lin Xi has been missing for almost a month, I didn't expect her to appear here."

"After all, Senior Sister Lin Xi cultivates the Ice Profound Moon Scripture of my Water Moon Peak, so it's understandable that she's here. Moreover, I heard that the Thousand-Voltage Ancient Bell of Shangqing Peak will soon be awakened, and Senior Sister Lin Xi isn't the only one coming out to visit..."

"Hehe, many people haven't seen Fairy Lin Xi since she went missing, but Senior Brother Ling Tian has visited Shuiyue Peak several times."

"Senior Brother Ling Tian made a public statement about this some time ago."

"Senior Sister Lin Xi and Senior Brother Ling Tian were mutually in love and stayed together for several years, which can be considered a beautiful story in our Xuanling Sect."

"That's right, Senior Brother Shen Lingtian is the ninth-ranked Purple Cloud Sword Body among the Supreme Bodies! He also cultivates the Purple Star Immortal Scripture of Shangqing Peak, possessing unparalleled talent. Fairy Lin Xi's talent is also among the best, and she is the leader of the Five Beauties. The two are a match made in heaven!"

"In this Xuanling Sect, and even in the entire Northern Spirit Domain, only Lin Xi is barely worthy of my Senior Brother Ling Tian."

"......"

As they traversed the cave world, they heard her and Shen Lingtian's conversations from the vast majority of people.

This almost made Lin Xi explode with rage; he wished he could kill these troublemakers.

Who the hell has stayed with you for years?

She's already having a hard time getting entangled with Chu Yang; every day she's either being taken advantage of or getting electrocuted.

She lost her first kiss.

These rumors are still circulating now. When Chu Yang comes back, won't she be killed?

And it's one thing to spread rumors, but some people even said they weren't good enough for Shen Lingtian.

Who do you think you are?

Male on the bottom, female on the bottom!

"......"

Of course, while there were people who belittled Lin Xi, there were also those who were unhappy with Shen Lingtian.

However, due to their intimidation, they dared not say it outright.

Lin Xi, through the connection of the Peak Master's true disciple, came to the seventh cultivation room on the third floor of the Extreme Ice Cave Heaven to cultivate.

The world was filled with the chilling aura of ice.

Without saying a word, Lin Xi took out the Pure Heart Lotus Platform to assist in his cultivation.

Meanwhile, residual effects of the medication were still present in her system...

Two days after Lin Xi entered the Extreme Ice Cave.

News of her return to the Xuanling Sect spread like wildfire, becoming a topic of discussion everywhere.

Shangqing Peak.

A magnificent and imposing palace.

A young man dressed in a black and white Taoist robe hurriedly flew into the palace.

Upon arriving at the backyard, they found a young man sitting cross-legged on a rock.

The young man appeared to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in a silver robe with cloud patterns and black boots.

He was tall and handsome.

His temperament, in particular, is sharp and piercing, like a sword immortal reincarnated.

Upon seeing the man, the young man in the black and white Taoist uniform became exceptionally respectful.

"Senior Brother Ling Tian, ​​according to news, Fairy Lin Xi returned to Shuiyue Peak two days ago and is currently in seclusion in the Extreme Ice Cave for cultivation."

Shen Lingtian opened his eyes instantly.

"Are you back?"

"Yes, and it seems that Fairy Lin Xi went home for a while during this period, but the specifics are unclear."

"Senior brother, should we go find Fairy Lin Xi now? After all, the time for the Thousand-Volt Ancient Bell is almost up."

Shen Lingtian gently shook his head, "Let's go find her later. Right now, we just need to make sure she's alright."

"My key phase is almost complete, but to avoid any unexpected problems, let's wait a little longer."

"However, I did prepare a gift for her, I hope she likes it."

Shen Lingtian took a deep breath.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, keeping it silently in his heart.

But he didn't want to wait any longer. If he proposed to his junior sister Lin Xi that they be his Daoist partner, she probably wouldn't object.

After all, she had some feelings for him.
