At dusk.
A group left Black Sand City, heading deeper into the desert under the blazing sunset.
Que’er, Liu Tang, and others watched Zhou Yu depart.
Even when Zhou Yu and his companions completely vanished into the desert, Que’er still was unwilling to return.
Seeing this, Liu Tang advised:
"Miss, let’s go back."
Que’er’s eyes carried a hint of sorrow as she said:
"Mr. Liu, when do you think Young Master Zhou and his party will return?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Tang’s eyes slightly narrowed, and he shook his head, saying:
"Miss, don’t think about him anymore."
"When it’s ti for him to co back, he will!"
"Even if he doesn’t return, it’s normal."
Que’er’s body trembled; she turned to look at Liu Tang.
"Mr. Liu, what do you an by that?"
Liu Tang smiled bitterly.
"Miss, don’t overthink it. I was just speaking casually."
Although Liu Tang said that, he knew in his heart that Zhou Yu leaving with Madam Fang and the others ant there was a high chance he wouldn’t return.
Of course, he wouldn’t seek revenge for Zhou Yu either.
Zhou Yu was rely an insignificant person in his life.
If he was gone, so be it.
As expected by Liu Tang, Zhou Yu indeed never returned after this departure.
Later, Que’er stayed in Black Sand City, waiting for a full two months. Failing to see any sign of Zhou Yu, she left Black Sand City with a broken heart.
...
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
In the entire Primordial Realm, two years was rely a snap, hardly worth ntioning.
Tiangang City.
This was an ancient city.
It was nad Tiangang City due to the cultivation technique known as the Heavenly Gang Body.
Tiangang City wasn’t considered a major city in the Heavenly Origin World, but it was well-known.
This is because many cultivators of the Body Refinent Path from the Heavenly Origin World gathered here.
For this reason, the trend of body refinent was very popular, and the resources needed for the Body Refinent Path were abundant.
At this mont, in an inconspicuous courtyard within Tiangang City.
A young man was sitting in front of a huge furnace.
At this mont, strands of enchanting herbal fragrance were continuously wafting from the furnace.
Not far beside the furnace, a slightly plump middle-aged man watched eagerly, rubbing his hands in anticipation.
A mont later, a faint sound ca from within the furnace.
The next mont, the lid of the furnace opened suddenly, and several round beads emitting a yellow glow flew out.
At this ti, the young man sitting in front of the pill furnace suddenly opened his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he grasped those beads in an instant.
anwhile, the flas in the furnace before him gradually extinguished.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man could no longer contain himself; he advanced with an enthusiastic smile.
"Brother Zhou, your alchemy skills are becoming more and more advanced."
"Effortlessly refining such excellent Foundation Establishnt Pills."
"Truly impressive."
This young man was Zhou Yu.
Two years ago, he went with Madam Fang and others to search for the Five Elents Yang Ginseng, but ended up escaping severely injured.
By chance, he was rescued by this middle-aged man.
Since then, he followed this middle-aged man to Tiangang City.
Upon reaching Tiangang City, Zhou Yu discovered that this middle-aged man was nad Shen San, doing business in trafficking herbs.
Zhou Yu needed herbs, so he made a deal with Shen San: he would make pill dicine for him, and Shen San would provide him with spiritual dicine. They easily reached an agreent, and Zhou Yu stayed in this courtyard continuously refining pill dicine to recover his injuries.
During this ti, Zhou Yu seriously studied the alchemy of the Heavenly Origin World, combined with what the old man taught him in the Human Clan Plane. He could effortlessly refine pill dicine of the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
However, refining pill dicine of the Core Formation Stage was still sowhat challenging.
Nevertheless, even the Foundation Establishnt Stage pill dicine was enough to exhilarate Shen San.
Since Zhou Yu arrived these two years, his business has expanded, gaining so reputation in Tiangang City.
At this mont, seeing Zhou Yu refine a few more Foundation Establishnt Pills, Shen San could not hide his joy and hurriedly stepped forward.
Zhou Yu casually tossed the Foundation Establishnt Pills to Shen San.
Shen San carefully caught the pills, placing them into the jade bottle, then cautiously tucked them into his bosom before feeling at ease.
After doing this, Shen San looked at Zhou Yu and smiled flatteringly:
"Brother Zhou, as usual, I’ve already placed the collected spiritual dicine over there for you."
However, hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly looked at Shen San and said:
"Brother Shen, from now on, don’t send any more spiritual dicine."
Hearing this, Shen San was stunned, looking at Zhou Yu in confusion.
"Brother Zhou, what’s wrong?"
Zhou Yu replied calmly:
"Two years ago, you saved my life and brought to this Tiangang City."
"I promised back then to refine pill dicine for two years as gratitude. Now that the two years are up, I have very important matters to attend to. Let us part ways here."
Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Shen San froze. Only then did he rember it had indeed been two years.
The past two years had been so comfortable for him that he even forgot about the ti.
He didn’t expect the two years to pass so quickly.
Shen San opened his mouth, imdiately wanting to persuade Zhou Yu to stay.
However, Zhou Yu’s figure flickered, instantly transforming into a black shadow, disappearing from the courtyard.
Shen San was stunned. By the ti he reacted, Zhou Yu was already gone.
He hurried out to chase after him, but not even a shadow was visible.
Shen San sank down, sitting on the ground dazed and confused.
Without Zhou Yu, it ant he no longer had a stable source of pill dicine, which was an enormous blow to him.
However, Zhou Yu wasn’t concerned with any of that.
His relationship with Shen San was purely transactional; he fulfilled his commitnt, so naturally, he had no guilt about leaving.
At this mont, Zhou Yu left Tiangang City at a high speed, heading northward.
This direction was actually the way to Black Sand City.
But, Zhou Yu’s purpose this ti was not to return to Black Sand City but to go sowhere else.
Traveling at full speed, Zhou Yu reached the edge of the desert in about half a day.
Here was a massive canyon, filled with countless trenches and scattered with rock caves.
Arriving here, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but recall the action two years ago with Madam Fang and others to find the Five Elents Yang Ginseng.
That operation, considered, went quite smoothly.
Madam Fang and her group were well-prepared and quickly reached the demon beast’s cave.
As Madam Fang foretold, there was indeed a formidable restriction there, requiring a physically strong Body Refining Master to break it.
Zhou Yu went ahead as per the agreent to break the restriction.
Successfully breaking the restriction, Madam Fang and others obtained the Five Elents Yang Ginseng as they wished.
However, just then, they suddenly hatched malicious intentions, planning to kill Zhou Yu and destroy the evidence.
In Zhou Yu’s eyes, Madam Fang and others were rely juniors of the Foundation Establishnt Stage yet dared harbor malice toward him.
Naturally, Zhou Yu didn’t hesitate to kill them easily, taking everything from their bodies, including the Five Elents Yang Ginseng.
But later, he accidentally disturbed that terrifying demon beast.
Escaping from the beast, Zhou Yu was severely injured, but fortunately, he managed to flee and later t Shen San, staying in Tiangang City for over two years.
In these two years, not only did Zhou Yu’s injuries fully heal, but he also took the opportunity to visit the Golden Wind Sect, soaking in the Golden Sun Spring.
In the Golden Sun Spring, Zhou Yu reaped plentifully.
Since then, while refining pills, Zhou Yu ingested a large amount of pill dicine. His progress in the Body Refinent Path advanced rapidly, now reaching the Seventh Layer.
Today, Zhou Yu ca here to consu the Five Elents Yang Ginseng, entirely restoring his ridians’ injuries...
