It brought a sense of competitiveness to Cen Yunzi.
But the more he sparred, the more Cen Yunzi felt that his own strength was beginning to fall behind.
He was being surpassed more and more.
Dean Tianyi beca more and more enthusiastic, but Cen Yunzi grew more disheartened.
Sitting in the courtyard, Cen Yunzi called his disciple Liu Xilan over.
In the courtyard, a pot of tea was set.
Calling Liu Xilan over, he wanted to share his insights from sparring with Dean Tianyi with his disciple.
On one hand, he wanted to find out the reason for himself.
Secondly, he could also provide so guidance to his disciple.
While the master and disciple were conversing, an old man with a long beard was already standing outside the courtyard unknown to them.
When Cen Yunzi discovered him, he was stunned for a mont.
He didn’t respond for quite a while.
Seeing his master acting strangely, Liu Xilan also turned to look back.
"Grandmaster! Why have you erged from seclusion!"
Speaking these words, Liu Xilan hurriedly ran over to greet him.
The old sect leader of Xiaoyao Peak, Master Xingchuan, was Cen Yunzi’s master.
Having been in seclusion for many years, many disciples of Xiaoyao Peak had never seen him.
But as the eldest disciple of the sect, Liu Xilan naturally had the opportunity to see him.
Seeing his disciple running over, Cen Yunzi also followed suit.
Approaching his master, he bowed deeply.
Unlike Liu Xilan, who was full of joy, Cen Yunzi was very serious.
His master, who had been in seclusion for so long, suddenly erged, and there could be only one reason for that.
To give final instructions...
Seeing Cen Yunzi bow deeply with a solemn expression, Master Xingchuan reached out and tapped his eldest disciple on the forehead.
"I’ve ended my seclusion, not dying, change your expression.
That face of yours makes feel uneasy in my heart."
Hearing Master Xingchuan’s words, Cen Yunzi raised his head and carefully observed his master.
Master Xingchuan did the sa, looking at him.
Ti had flown by, and his eldest disciple’s face was now covered with a beard.
Yet he felt as if his master seed sohow different.
"Master, you..."
The old face seed a bit emotional.
The usually composed Cen Yunzi had tears welling up in his eyes.
"So many years, and yet here before your disciple, pay attention to your deanor."
Although there was so rebuke in Master Xingchuan’s words, seeing his disciple like this, he was quite touched.
Throughout his life, he had achieved countless accomplishnts.
But his greatest achievent was the disciples he had taken in.
Aside from Master Xingchuan himself, there was perhaps no one else who could cultivate so many to the Immortal Realm.
Having lived for hundreds of years and seen countless things in the world, Master Xingchuan’s nose turned slightly red.
"Alright, alright, sit down, let’s talk.
Though I’ve been in seclusion for a long ti, I can still sit, and I’d rather not stand."
The three of them sat down in the courtyard.
Having not co out for a long ti, Master Xingchuan couldn’t help but take a few more looks at Xiaoyao Peak.
The sect he held dear in his heart was still the sa as before.
"Master, your health..."
Upon hearing this, Master Xingchuan’s face showed a smile.
"Don’t worry, if I dared to co out of seclusion, naturally, I have so assurance.
In the Immortal Realm of the Second Grade, I have already lived over four hundred years.
Originally thinking my life was nearing its end, I didn’t expect to take another step forward in this late stage.
If all goes well, living another seventy or eighty years is no problem for ."
Upon hearing these words, Cen Yunzi felt a subtle excitent.
These disciples truly hoped their master could be well.
Only when one’s elders are still around can the younger generation afford to be willful and reckless.
When there’s no elder in the world, that’s when one truly grows up.
Indulgence, care, may no longer be there in the future.
"Has the sect encountered any troubleso matters these years?"
Cen Yunzi shook his head, indicating there hasn’t been any particularly difficult troubles.
All of Xiaoyao Peak, with seven Immortal Realm powerhouses, anyone who acted recklessly...
Cen Yunzi shared so recent events with his master.
During the conversation, Master Xingchuan seed a bit uninterested.
Amid his thoughts, Master Xingchuan suddenly spoke: "That young man nad Shen Han, is he still at Xiaoyao Peak?"
Hearing his master ntion Shen Han, Cen Yunzi was taken aback.
"He’s here, he should be at the younger sister’s peak."
"Let’s go, take to see him."
Cen Yunzi then led the way ahead, not expecting his master to want to see Shen Han as soon as he erged from seclusion.
Which makes sense, Shi Yuezhu’s talent has always been the best in the sect.
He was probably inford about the matters between Shi Yuezhu and Shen Han.
The three of them walked along.
At Moon Bamboo Peak, the attendants first saluted Cen Yunzi when they saw the trio.
After Cen Yunzi’s reminder, they realized Master Xingchuan was the sect leader of Xiaoyao Peak.
Frightened, they quickly kneeled to the ground.
Master Xingchuan waved with a smile: "Quickly go notify your Peak Master, it’s normal you don’t recognize , I’ve been in seclusion for many years."
In the Inner Courtyard, Shi Yuezhu and Shen Han walked out quickly.
Seeing her master, Shi Yuezhu’s expression was very similar to Cen Yunzi’s earlier when he saw Master Xingchuan.
But unlike Cen Yunzi, Shi Yuezhu let out a sigh of relief.
The stone in her heart finally dropped.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn’t let them fall; Shi Yuezhu quickly brushed them away.
"Master, you’re alright, it’s really great.
You don’t know how worried your disciple has been these days.
Hoping you could benefit from this Pill, but also fearing the Pill’s effects might bring you greater harm..."
As she spoke, Shi Yuezhu turned around and hugged Shen Han.
"Thank you... really, thank you..."
This scene stunned everyone present.
The surrounding attendants quickly lowered their heads.
Liu Xilan quickly gestured, signaling them to leave swiftly.
Cen Yunzi coughed repeatedly, a senior was still present...
Coming back to her senses, Shi Yuezhu finally let go, slightly lowering her head.
"You must be Shen Han, although I’ve just co out of seclusion, I’ve already heard of your na."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han bowed to show his respect: "Greetings, Sect Leader."
"That Pill I took was given by you, wasn’t it?"
Before Shen Han could respond, Shi Yuezhu nodded.
"Being able to improve even my strength and realm speaks to the extraordinary power of this Pill.
The dicinal properties in it require the use of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to work together, giving birth to its effects.
This Pill is enough to drive the world’s strong to madness.
I owe you a great debt of gratitude."
As he spoke, Master Xingchuan was about to bow to Shen Han.
Upon seeing this, Cen Yunzi and Shi Yuezhu quickly supported him.
Shen Han was also startled, he couldn’t dare accept the courtesy of Shi Yuezhu’s master...
"Young Friend Shen Han, your Pill truly brought great benefits to .
Even before consuming this Pill, I didn’t dare to imagine progressing further one day.
However..."
Master Xingchuan’s "Young Friend Shen Han" imdiately elevated Shen Han’s seniority.
The word "however" in his words left everyone around them puzzled.
"Master, Shen Han is young and promising, this child is excellent..."
"Silence."
Cen Yunzi had just started speaking when he was directly rebuked.
Master Xingchuan turned his head, looking at Shen Han with a few more shades of plea in his expression.
"At my age, I should have been buried long ago.
But these disciples often seek out Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for out of the bonds of ntorship.
This old body of mine has lived this long thanks to them.
They keep in their hearts, and naturally, I keep them in mine.
The Pill you gave truly has profound effects.
But I really can’t bear to use the latter half of my disciple’s life to exchange for this Pill."
Master Xingchuan’s words left everyone montarily stunned.
"Master, what do you an by this..."
Seeing Shi Yuezhu’s puzzled inquiry, Master Xingchuan waved his hand.
"There’s no need to hide it from , I’m aware.
When I ca out of seclusion, I had already heard about your relationship with Young Friend Shen Han.
I suppose it was out of gratitude for him giving this Pill...
Your filial piety is known by your master."
"And I ask Young Friend Shen Han to understand this old man’s care for his disciples.
If this debt of gratitude still needs to be repaid, please let repay it.
Whatever you need to do, I’ll do everything I can to accomplish it for you.
Just, don’t make things difficult for my disciples."
