Without the help of a Soul Elder, Xing Jue's strength was only that of a Beginner Asura, Wu Zun. Even if he used all his strength to control the Mysterious Jade Ship, it wouldn't be very fast.
Therefore, it took him half a month to reach the remote Eastern Region. At this moment, Xing Jue finally returned to the place he had been away from for a long time, the Everlasting Courtyard.
The Everlasting Courtyard was the same as before. There were mountains and rivers, birds chirping and flowers fragrant. It was like a paradise.
Although the Everlasting Courtyard seemed a little unbearable after seeing Mount Wuzhi and the Flower Valley, in Xing Jue's eyes, the Everlasting Courtyard felt very close to them.
When Xing Jue returned to the Everlasting Courtyard, the first place he went to was the Celestial Herb House. After Xing Jue stepped out of the space with the Tang sisters, he headed straight for the Celestial Herb House. The Tang sisters and Uncle Zhao knew that Xing Jue was going to meet his friends, so they didn't follow him.
The door of the Celestial Herb House was tightly shut. There was even a barrier around it, obviously to prevent people from disturbing him. However, this was not a problem for Xing Jue. He landed in the courtyard easily.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he could smell the fragrance of pills. Based on Xing Jue's experience, he could tell that someone was refining pills.
The door of the refining room was not closed. When Xing Jue got closer, he saw a flame rising in a cauldron. A beautiful figure in a white robe was busy in front of the cauldron.
Under her control, a large number of precious herbs fell into the cauldron and were refined by the flames. She was very focused and didn't dare to be distracted at all.
Lin Shishi. After two years, her flawless face still gave off a unique pure aura. Her white dress fluttered in the wind like a fairy that had not descended into the mortal world.
In just two years, she had gained a unique charm of a woman. Beads of sweat dripped down her white skin, making her look even more alluring.
"I'm almost there. With this pill, I can break through to the Intermediate Asura Master." Lin Shishi didn't feel tired even though she was busy refining pills. Instead, a sweet smile like honey hung on her pure face.
She was currently refining a Rank 4 medicinal pill. As long as this pill was successfully refined, she was confident that she would be able to break through from a beginner Asura Martial Master to a middle stage Asura Martial Master. To her, this was a huge matter, which was why she was so happy.
"Level 4 medicinal pill, Strength Accumulation Pill. You are missing at least three ingredients. Even if you successfully refine it like this, the medicinal power will be greatly reduced." However, at this moment, a man's playful voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Shishi's joyful expression turned cold in an instant. Disturbing her while she was concocting pills was a huge taboo. Furthermore, it was an extremely important pill that she was concocting.
"Get out …"
Lin Shishi suddenly turned her head. Her pure and small face was filled with anger. However, before she could finish speaking, that angry expression instantly disappeared, and a dull expression had already condensed on her pure white and flawless beautiful face.
"Get out? Is this how you welcome an old friend? "Xing Jue wore a brilliant smile as he walked into the pill refining room.
"Xing Jue! Heavens, it's really you!!! "
"You, when did you come back? You still know to come back!!! "
Lin Shishi was extremely excited. She quickly walked in front of Xing Jue and looked up and down at Xing Jue. Her long eyelashes blinked non-stop, as if she couldn't believe her own eyes.
"Hey! Are you not going to care about your furnace of pills? " Seeing how happy Lin Shishi was, Xing Jue indeed turned his slightly narrowed gaze towards the pill cauldron not far away.
"Aiya, oh no …"
Under Xing Jue's reminder, Lin Shishi came to a sudden realization. Right now was the crucial moment of the pill formation. If she left the pill cauldron now, it was very likely that she would fail at this crucial moment.
When she turned her head to look, her delicate little face could not help but change greatly. This was because the pill fragrance coming from the pill cauldron had changed. This meant that the pill refining this time was most likely going to fail.
* whoosh *
However, at this moment, Xing Jue had already appeared in front of the pill cauldron like a ghost. Xing Jue rolled up his sleeves and began to skillfully control everything within the pill cauldron.
"This …"
Seeing Xing Jue's incomparably skilled movements, as if everything was under his control, as well as the pill that was clearly destined to fail had actually been saved, Lin Shishi's delicate little face became incomparably shocked.
* whoosh *
Suddenly, with a wave of Xing Jue's sleeves, three medicinal herbs that were sparkling with light appeared and smoothly entered the pill cauldron. They turned into three rays of light that entered the pill cauldron, and at this moment, the pill fragrance of the pill actually increased by several times.
Seeing the three medicinal herbs that she could not possibly find being casually taken out by Xing Jue, Lin Shishi's pair of beautiful eyes were already lifeless, and she did not even blink.
Lin Shishi stared blankly at everything that Xing Jue had done. Only after a moment, when a pill that she had yearned for even in her dreams was handed to her by Xing Jue, did she finally return to her senses.
"It's only been a short two years, and you've actually become a fifth grade alchemist. In terms of pill refining, you've left me far behind." Lin Shishi's face was filled with helplessness, but at the same time, she was extremely happy.
"It's all thanks to such a good master like you." Xing Jue stuffed the refined pill into Lin Shishi's hands, and smiled very brightly.
"In these two years, you've never contacted us, and we thought you'd gone missing!" Suddenly, Lin Shishi pouted her little mouth and complained.
"In these two years, you've never contacted me either. Are you afraid of disturbing my cultivation?"
Xing Jue was still smiling. He could feel that Lin Shishi's close friends must have missed him very much, but they did not dare to disturb him. However, wasn't Xing Jue the same?
"Tch ~ Are you the first to see me? At least you have some conscience. "
Lin Shishi glanced outside, and seeing that no one else had followed her, she was smart enough to guess that Xing Jue must have been the first to see her. At this moment, her pouted little mouth finally calmed down, and a sweet smile replaced it.
"I'll call everyone here. They must be very happy to see a genius like you return." As Lin Shishi spoke, she took out a special token, which could notify everyone in the Everlasting Courtyard.
"Don't alarm everyone, let me do it." Xing Jue took the token from Lin Shishi's hand, and began to carve names on it. They were all the people he wanted to see this time.
Xing Jue's current identity was a bit special. Although he knew that what he had done in the center of the world had not spread here yet, Xing Jue believed that one day it would spread here. Therefore, he did not want too many people to know that he was entangled with the Everlasting Courtyard.
As for Tang Lian and her sister, although they also felt that the east was a suitable place for them to live, they did not want to stay in the Everlasting Courtyard. They just wanted to find a secluded place to cultivate in peace.
In short, what Xing Jue wanted to do was very simple. He just wanted to settle the Tang Lian and her sister down, and at the same time visit his close friends here. As long as he did not show his face or display his strength, even if the things he had done in the center of the world were spread here, the people here might not think that it was Xing Jue who had done it.
After all, that kind of thing was too shocking, and Xing Jue was only an Asura Martial Master two years ago. Moreover, there were people with the same name in the world. Therefore, Xing Jue felt that as long as he did not say anything, the people here would not know what he had done.
It wasn't that Xing Jue wanted to keep a low profile. He just didn't want to drag the Everlasting Courtyard into this. If Mount Wuzhi knew that the Everlasting Courtyard was connected to Xing Jue, the Everlasting Courtyard's end would most likely be very miserable.
After notifying the crowd, Xing Jue invited Tang Lian and her sister into the Immortal Herb House. Very soon, several people arrived through the air. When they saw Xing Jue, not a single one of them was not incomparably excited. Some even wept bitterly.
Zhang Xing and Zhang Meng, as well as several important members of the Dragon Group in the past.
Yao Di, Liu Bing, and some of the core members of the Heavenly Music Society.
Han Xue, Han Xiang, Fang Lianyi, and the strongest disciples of the Everlasting Courtyard who had participated in the Yan City Gathering with Xing Jue on the Power Ranking.
Even the four great management elders of the Everlasting Courtyard were gathered in the Immortal Herb House.
They were all close friends of Xing Jue. They were all people Xing Jue trusted. As long as Xing Jue told them to keep it a secret, they would absolutely not reveal the matter of Xing Jue returning to the Everlasting Courtyard and coming here with Tang Lian and her sister.
Very soon, Elder Ouyang ordered people to prepare a banquet. As the higher-ups of the Everlasting Courtyard, they were extremely happy to see a genius like Xing Jue return.
Although they couldn't celebrate with the entire courtyard, they would still drink until they were completely drunk in the Immortal Herb House.
Everyone drank and chatted without restraint. They talked about the past and talked about the recent events. Carefree laughter rang out nonstop.
They did not have any misgivings because the Immortal Herb House was a forbidden area in the Everlasting Courtyard. Other disciples simply did not dare to come here.
"Xing Jue, what level of strength are you at right now? You couldn't have become an Asura Martial Master in two years' time, right? Are you already a disciple of the Reincarnation Peak? "
Zhang Xing was originally not good at drinking, but when he saw his good brother, Xing Jue, return, he was truly too happy. At that moment, the smell of alcohol filled the air and he staggered as he walked. Taking advantage of the fact that he was still drunk, he gathered his courage and asked Xing Jue the question that many people were curious about.
In two years' time, he also reached the strength of an initial stage Asura Martial Master and became a disciple of the Everlasting Courtyard's central courtyard. However, he was even more curious as to what level Xing Jue, who entered the Everlasting Courtyard with him, had grown.
"Even I can't see through Xing Jue's current cultivation. It seems that he has most likely reached the level of an Asura Martial Master." Elder Ouyang smiled in a gratified manner. To him, who had thought highly of Xing Jue from the start, Xing Jue was his pride.
Everyone continuously asked Xing Jue about leaving the Eastern Domain, but Xing Jue didn't say much. He only smiled and passed it off. Regarding Tang Lian and her sister, he only told everyone that they were traveling together.
Some people here knew Tang Lian's identity. In their eyes, Tang Lian was a distinguished guest. Even the four great elders were respectful to her, let alone the other disciples.
"Sister, they are so respectful to you. If they knew what Brother Xing Jue did, I wonder how scared they would be." Tang Yu covered her mouth and laughed softly. She secretly sent a message to Tang Lian.
"Shh, Xing Jue said to keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone about what he did in the center of the world," Tang Lian hurriedly warned.
"I know, heh …"
Tang Yu smiled mischievously. Then, she looked at Xing Jue. Seeing how close Xing Jue was to the people of the Everlasting Courtyard, who were only Asura Martial Masters, as if they were a family, she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart,
"Brother Xing Jue is really extraordinary. It seems that he won't become estranged from his old friends because of his strength. People like him are really rare!!!"
