"But you two, staying together in these deep mountains, are you planning to live in seclusion?"
Looking at the two of them, Li Qi suddenly chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Qi Youhuan and Chen Tu'an nodded slightly. Qi Youhuan then spoke.
"Yes, the world is peaceful now, and there's nothing left for us old fellows to do. Plus, the spiritual energy in the Dixu Realm has been growing increasingly dense. Chen Tu'an and I put our heads together and decided to go into seclusion. It's been a hundred years now, hasn't it?"
As he finished speaking, a smile spread across Qi Youhuan's face.
"But these leisurely days are quite nice. Occasionally, we exchange insights on cultivation, and when the mood strikes, we can even have a game of chess. It's just a pity that that old fellow Feng Dengxian ascended too early. If he knew about our current life, I wonder if he would regret ascending so soon."
Speaking of Feng Dengxian, Li Qi and the other two couldn't help but shift their gaze.
Speaking of Feng Dengxian, he could be considered the only cultivator who had ascended from the Dixu Realm so far.
But Li Qi knew that the upper realm called Cangyun Realm was extremely competitive.
"I wonder how that fellow Feng Dengxian is doing now."
Qi Youhuan couldn't help but sigh.
It's just that that so-called ascension isn't as simple as moving to another place, where you could occasionally send back a letter.
After ascension, everything was unknown.
Looking at the familiar old friends before him, and having brought up Feng Dengxian again, the thoughts of the three of them returned to the past.
Li Qi chatted with Qi Youhuan and Chen Tu'an for a while longer, then did not linger. It was better to let these two old fellows enjoy their world of two.
Saying goodbye, Li Qi left the place.
Li Qi's next destination was naturally where all his dreams began, the Feisha Sect.
The current Feisha Sect was already a top-tier sect, second to none in the entire Dixu Realm.
The disciples under its banner were more talented than the last.
The last time Li Qi returned to the Feisha Sect, the sect already had the capability to provide cultivation resources to its disciples.
Now, with the upgrade in the Dixu Realm's intensity, natural treasures and spiritual minerals were even more abundant, and the disciples' treatment was getting better and better.
Only...
Li Qi returned to the original location of the Feisha Sect.
The buildings of the Feisha Sect had already changed drastically, becoming more prosperous.
But what remained unchanged was the direction of the back mountain. It was still the same as Li Qi remembered it, giving Li Qi a long-lost sense of familiarity.
Even Li Qi himself wasn't sure.
Was he returning now to see the Feisha Sect, which had completely changed, or to see the back mountain that had never changed?
As Li Qi looked towards the back mountain, Zhang Yinjun's figure emerged from the familiar small wooden house.
Li Qi's heart stirred, and he headed towards the back mountain.
"Senior Uncle Li! You're here!"
As Zhang Yinjun stepped out of the small house, she saw Li Qi approaching not far away. A look of surprise and joy flashed across her face, and she hurried to greet him.
Looking at Zhang Yinjun before him, Li Qi's gaze fell on a spot not far from the small wooden house. There, there was a tomb, not luxurious, but always meticulously kept clean, without a single weed growing.
If Wang Cheng, who had already passed away, were not counted, his grand-disciple Zhang Yinjun was probably the person who knew him best in this world.
But unfortunately, Zhang Yinjun was ultimately one generation lower than him.
If that brat Wang Cheng were still alive, it would be great.
Memories flooded back, and even Li Qi couldn't help but sigh deeply.
If Wang Cheng were still alive, perhaps there would truly be someone in this world with whom he could talk about anything and everything.
Alas, life is unpredictable. Wang Cheng's lifespan ultimately ended a while before the barrier of the world broke.
"It's nothing, I just came back to visit. As for you, little girl, it's only been a short while since I last saw you, and you've already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."
Li Qi shifted his gaze back to Zhang Yinjun, sensing the aura of the peak Nascent Soul stage from her, an aura that could no longer advance.
With just a little more time, and when the opportunity arose, Zhang Yinjun would easily step into the Void Return stage.
Hearing this, Zhang Yinjun smiled.
"With my talent, I wouldn't have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage so quickly. This is thanks to you, Senior Uncle Li, for making the spiritual energy in this world increasingly dense."
As she spoke, Zhang Yinjun looked at Li Qi.
It was obvious.
Although Li Qi had not said it directly, Zhang Yinjun, with her current cultivation level, had learned of Li Qi's identity from various sources.
Thinking of this, a strange look flickered in Zhang Yinjun's eyes. She remembered the incredibly exaggerated lightning tribulation when she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
It was probably the work of this Senior Uncle, the Lord of this plane, standing before her.
Li Qi's gaze remained unwavering, not caring at all. The identity of the Lord of the plane was not a big deal.
He hadn't revealed it before simply because he was too lazy to talk about it, and he had no intention of keeping it a secret or playing the role of a hidden master.
"Since you are about to break through to the Void Return stage, I happen to have a suitable pill for you, which can make your breakthrough to the Void Return stage easier. I'll refine one for you right now."
With that, Li Qi waved his hand gently, and a pile of precious medicinal herbs appeared in his hand.
The suitable pill he mentioned was naturally a Void Breaking Pill, a Void Return stage pill, replicated from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion.
His fingers flickered slightly, and scorching flames rose from Li Qi's hands.
The medicinal herbs were rapidly transformed into the most essence medicinal liquid in Li Qi's hands.
Li Qi performed this series of actions with extreme ease, and at this moment, he could even multitask and chat with Zhang Yinjun.
While chatting, Li Qi also learned from Zhang Yinjun.
It turned out that Zhang Yinjun had resigned from the position of Sect Master of the Feisha Sect more than a hundred years ago.
As for the next Sect Master, it was a disciple named Chen Zhengqi of the Feisha Sect.
He was one of the first direct disciples Zhang Yinjun had taken in, and he was now also at the Nascent Soul stage.
At the same time, he also learned from Zhang Yinjun that this disciple named Chen Zhengqi had apparently had the good fortune to receive some guidance from Li Qi in the past.
However, Li Qi had no memory of this at all.
Before long, the Void Breaking Pill was successfully refined.
A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, entering Zhang Yinjun's nostrils. Whether it was an illusion or not, Zhang Yinjun even felt that the barrier of the peak Nascent Soul stage within her body, which she had no clue about, had begun to loosen.
"Here you go."
Li Qi casually tossed the Void Breaking Pill in his hand to Zhang Yinjun.
Zhang Yinjun quickly caught it.
"Thank you, Senior Uncle Li."
After refining the Void Breaking Pill for Zhang Yinjun.
Li Qi then felt inspired and gave Zhang Yinjun a brief explanation of the many problems she might encounter on her future cultivation path and how to avoid them. Zhang Yinjun listened with her mouth agape at times, and with sudden realization at others.
