Although the two had known each other for many years, there was still a hint of awkwardness when they really got along.
For so many years, Lin Xiu had been working hard outside and rarely went back to Huai Ning City. Ever since he made everything clear to the woman beside him that day, they hadn't seen each other for many years.
Red clouds filled the sky and dyed the clouds in the sky red.
The two strolled on the path of Gui Yuan Sect and recalled the bits and pieces of the past. No one spoke rashly.
Liu Yun's attainments in alchemy had already reached the pinnacle. In the entire Gui Yuan Sect, no one could compare to her. It could be said that the majority of the elixirs that the disciples used to cultivate and heal their injuries came from the hands of this peerless beauty in front of them.
After so many years of tempering, Lin Xiu's cultivation was also extremely high and he enjoyed an illustrious reputation in the continent. This time, he even barged into the tiger's den alone and rescued Wu Kejun and many experts in the Creation realm. It was also a very remarkable thing.
When they met, the two had become much more mature and were no longer as young and inexperienced as they were in the past. Liu Yun's delicate body was plump and revealed a mature charm from head to toe.
But because most of the time, she was in seclusion in Orchid Valley for research, Liu Yun didn't know much about what happened in the outside world.
So naturally, she also didn't know how many disasters Lin Xiu had gone through to get what he had now.
"Now that both of us have achieved good results, the continent is now in danger and it is impossible for people to enjoy a peaceful life. I don't know how long this temporary peace will last. "Lin Xiu sighed, there was an indescribable worry in his heart.
Liu Yun tucked the hair on her temples and revealed a bright smile to Lin Xiu. She comforted him softly, "I still remember when you first entered the sect, you were only at the Jade Bone realm. But after three months of cultivation, you have become an indisputable existence on the combat strength list. I don't know how many times stronger you are now compared to before. I believe that you must have a way to successfully solve this disaster."
Nodding his head, Lin Xiu did not say much and the two gradually walked towards a remote place. Both of them had extraordinary identities and if they were seen by some disciples, there would inevitably be rumors spreading.
Smelling the faint fragrance beside him, Lin Xiu also became a little excited. He was no longer the ignorant youth from back then. He already had two wives and if it wasn't for the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he really wanted to embrace the woman beside him.
Greed was the greatest driving force behind the progress of human society, but it was also the root of all destruction.
After completely cutting off the thoughts in his heart, Lin Xiu sighed silently. He would hide these beautiful memories of his youth deep in his heart. Perhaps when he was old, he would recall them and it would be a very warm past.
Unknowingly, the sun had already set.
Liu Yun looked at the side of Lin Xiu's face and found that he had completely lost the immaturity of the past. There was a touch of determination on his face, but she could not help but feel a little heartache.
"Actually, you don't have to give yourself so much pressure. Although the Netherworld Palace is extremely powerful, there are so many experts in the continent who are also rushing about for this matter. Blindly giving yourself too much pressure will sometimes produce the opposite effect." Liu Yun suddenly grabbed Lin Xiu's hand and comforted him gently.
Lin Xiu held Liu Yun's jade-like hand and could no longer control the suppressed feelings in his heart. Just as he was about to make a move, the image of Lin Jie still lying on the bed appeared in his mind.
He still had so many things to do and could not be distracted anymore.
"Senior Sister, speaking of which, we have known each other for so many years, but I have only tasted your cooking once. I really miss it now." Lin Xiu quietly moved away from Liu Yun and chuckled softly.
A desolate look flashed across her face, but Liu Yun also understood that Lin Xiu had always regarded her as a big sister and had no other thoughts.
"If you like it, then I will cook for you later." Liu Yun said crisply, then pulled Lin Xiu out of the sect.
There was an extremely lively place at the foot of the mountain. As the Gui Yuan Sect had grown many times in scale over the years, a small town had slowly developed at the foot of the mountain.
Not only did the Gui Yuan Sect have great prestige in the Gui Yuan Region, but there was also no one in the neighboring small regions who dared to compete with the Gui Yuan Sect. Countless prestigious clans were trying their best to get their juniors to enter the Gui Yuan Sect and learn from them.
Over time, the small town became extremely prosperous because of the arrival of these young experts.
Liu Yun brought Lin Xiu to an independent courtyard with a proud and complacent look on her face.
"Look, this is the property that I bought myself. It's not bad, right?"
Lin Xiu was slightly taken aback. He did not expect that Liu Yun would actually have her own courtyard in the small town and could not help but look at her in surprise.
"All these years, when I feel a little tired, I will come here and quietly think about things." Liu Yun explained to Lin Xiu.
"Alright, sit here first. I will go out and buy some ingredients. The feast will be served in a while." Liu Yun said to Lin Xiu and prepared to go to some vegetable stalls to buy some things.
"Senior Sister, there is actually no need to go through so much trouble. It is already late and there should not be many vegetable stalls." Lin Xiu shook his head.
"Don't worry. This small town is extraordinarily prosperous. Who knows how many young experts are coming and going. Therefore, even at night, this place is still brightly lit." Liu Yun chuckled.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do here. In that case, why don't I go with you." He thought about it and took the lead to step out of the courtyard. When Liu Yun saw this, she could only agree helplessly.
It was already evening at this time, but the number of pedestrians on the street had not decreased. Many men and women walked together, talking and laughing.
Of course, most of their discussions were about the matters on the mountain. To be able to learn from a master in the Gui Yuan Sect was the biggest wish of these young men and women.
As the strength of the sect had undergone an earth-shattering change compared to the past, the threshold for Gui Yuan Sect to recruit disciples was much higher than before. The sect no longer sent deacons to the major cities to select disciples. Instead, they opened the mountain gates and allowed children who were confident in their talent to come here to take the test. As long as they passed the selection, they would be able to smoothly become a member of the Gui Yuan Sect.
In the past, Lin Xiu did not pay attention to this at all, but when he heard the discussions of the people around him, he could not help but be a little curious about the Gui Yuan Sect's selection.
"Senior Sister, do you know anything about our sect's selection?" Lin Xiu tilted his head and looked at Liu Yun.
"I'm not sure about that because the Orchid Valley doesn't participate in these things. But if you want to know, it seems like tomorrow is the day of the new round of disciple recruitment." Liu Yun wasn't very clear about this.
Hearing this, Lin Xiu was slightly taken aback and did not dare to believe it. The current situation in the continent was so urgent, could it be that the Gui Yuan Sect would still recruit disciples at this juncture?
With a flip of his palm, a message token appeared in Lin Xiu's palm.
"Master, I heard that our Gui Yuan Sect is recruiting disciples tomorrow. What is going on?" Lin Xiu asked Wu Kejun, who was on the other side of the message token.
After a moment of silence, Wu Kejun's voice came out from the message token.
"Originally, the elders and I did not want you to know about these things. You have been distracted for a year and the situation of the newcomers on the continent is very urgent, but the future of the Human Clan has always been entrusted to those little guys. Therefore, other than the top forces that are resisting the attack of the Netherworld Palace, the remaining sects are currently recruiting disciples in secret, hoping to continue the lineage of the Human Clan as much as possible."
Lin Xiu's eyes were a little bright as he kept the message token. Since that was the case, he wanted to take a good look at the disciple recruitment assessment tomorrow and see what kind of little guys would surprise him.
"Senior Sister, I want to walk around. To be honest, this is my first time coming to this small town at the foot of the mountain." Lin Xiu smiled at Liu Yun apologetically.
"It's okay, if you want to walk around, go ahead. But you must go back after an hour." Liu Yun did not take it to heart.
Lin Xiu was not worried about Liu Yun's safety. Although the latter's strength was not eye-catching in the Gui Yuan Sect, she had reached the Heaven Yuan Realm after all. In this small town, there was no one who could hurt Liu Yun.
Taking 10,000 steps back, if such an expert really appeared, with Lin Xiu's current cultivation level, he could also come to Liu Yun's side immediately.
Lin Xiu hummed a tune with his hands behind his back and began to slowly walk around the small town.
As tomorrow was the selection of the Gui Yuan Sect, these young guys who came from afar were a little nervous.
They gathered in twos and threes with their friends, cheering each other on, and at the same time began to analyze the contents of the Gui Yuan Sect assessment tomorrow.
With Lin Xiu's cultivation level, he naturally heard every single word of their conversation.
These young guys, the oldest was not more than 10 years old and their cultivation levels were not that profound, but each and every one of them was very intelligent and analyzed some things about the Gui Yuan Sect clearly and logically.
"I heard that even if we are able to successfully enter the Gui Yuan Sect this time, we will only be Outer Sect Disciples. Although the Gui Yuan Sect's assessment method has changed a lot over the years, there is one thing that has always been the same. All Outer Sect Disciples must go through three months of self-training and then compete with the top disciples in terms of combat strength. Only then will they be able to successfully enter the Inner Sect." A little girl wearing a light yellow short skirt looked at her companion and said with a worried frown.
"What's there to worry about? As long as we can enter the Gui Yuan Sect, with our talent, we will naturally be able to stand out among the outer sect disciples." Another young man in luxurious clothes had a blade of grass in his mouth and did not care at all.
And what Lin Xiu was most interested in was a young man in linen clothes.
This young man sat with the other two companions and looked so out of place, but the other two turned to look at him.
"Fang Xu, what do you think?"
The sack-clothed youth called Fang Xu didn't even think as he raised his head and said to everyone in a clear voice, "The Gui Yuan Sect has been developing at an extremely fast pace these past few years. Even when compared to the true top powers, it isn't inferior to them. There are definitely many people with extremely strong natural endowments among those who have come to take the test this time. Even if our natural endowments are also extraordinary, we will be lost in the crowd of geniuses."
The girl in the light yellow skirt bit her lips and became even more worried.
"Then what should we do?"
