"Senior Sister, you're back!"
"Senior Sister, did you just return from outside?"
"Senior Sister, when will you start teaching classes again now that you're back?"
All the junior disciples who saw Lin Yan along the way greeted her enthusiastically.
However, they were also quite surprised. The Mission Hall had said that Senior Sister would be away for at least half a year. Why was she back in less than two months?
After her return, Lin Yan did not immediately go to the Mission Hall to accept tasks. She planned to go into seclusion for a period to stabilize her cultivation before attending to other matters.
The people at the Mission Hall had also heard the news of Lin Yan's return, but they had not yet received her to submit her tasks.
After circulating spiritual energy for two great cycles throughout her meridians, it finally converged in her Golden Core within the dantian.
Lin Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened her eyes. Her cultivation had now reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm. She was only one step away from shattering her core and forming an infant.
This was not the time for a breakthrough. She suppressed her cultivation with all her might, absolutely unwilling to break through at this moment.
To break through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul within a single year was beyond the description of a prodigy. People would surely think she was a reincarnated cultivator or that some ancient being had possessed her body.
She concluded her practice, rose, and took out her Breath Concealing Jade Pendant, obscuring her true realm.
The cultivation realm Lin Yan now displayed was merely at the middle stage of the Golden Core.
She had not been out for a long time and felt it was time to see the outside world.
Stretching her body lightly, Lin Yan opened her door, preparing to head to the Mission Hall to pick up a few tasks to pass the time.
Mr. and Mrs. Yang had settled down in this town and had bought the small courtyard they had been renting. Compared to Lin Yan, the couple had some savings.
Although this place was next to a cultivation sect, gold, silver, and other precious metals were the primary currency. The bank notes they had accumulated over the past few years were still valid here.
Since Cong'er would be cultivating in the sect in the future, they felt that buying a house was a long-term solution.
Although a considerable portion of their money had been spent, they couldn't live off their savings. Therefore, for the past few days, the couple had been looking for work they could do in the surrounding areas.
However, the more they looked around this place, the more astonished they became. Recalling their previous lives, they felt like frogs at the bottom of a well.
The couple had agreed that the spiritual energy here was higher than where they lived before, and their martial arts should be able to improve further.
Once Young Master Yang's injuries healed, they would continue practicing martial arts, elevating their skills to a top-tier level in the martial world, and then return to seek revenge on their enemies.
During these days, with their father and mother by his side, Cong'er's disposition had become much more lively. Watching Cong'er flit around them every day filled Mr. and Mrs. Yang with happiness.
Although they did not know what cultivation in the immortal path entailed, they believed that any form of cultivation required a good body. Thus, they had recently purchased some herbs to temper Cong'er's bones and muscles.
Simultaneously, they had Cong'er practice horse stance and some basic sword techniques.
When Lin Yan saw Cong'er, she noticed that the child had changed significantly. The biggest change was that the once fair and tender little dumpling had become much darker-skinned.
He had also grown taller, and according to Madam Yang, his appetite had increased considerably. When conversing with Ling Yun, Madam Yang's eyes would light up with joy whenever she mentioned Cong'er.
Lin Yan looked at the happy and fulfilling scene of the family of three and was glad she had intervened back then.
