Three months later, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes while recuperating in the courtyard.
Three months prior, following the visits of He Xiuzhu, Wang Kun, and the other six, Li Xuan had also remembered the Thousand-Year Snow Ganoderma from Shen Ziwen. After consuming it, Li Xuan immediately felt a change in his body. His already almost recovered body became even more robust and filled with vitality.
Not only that, but due to the Thousand-Year Snow Ganoderma, Li Xuan's aura had become significantly stronger than before.
After a moment of thought, Li Xuan's gaze shifted towards the outside, followed by a slight smile as he stood up and walked out.
"Junior disciple, have you recovered well?" As soon as Li Xuan stepped out of the house, He Xiuzhu, Song Qianyu, and the other six landed in the courtyard.
"Thank you for your concern, senior brothers and sisters. I have fully recovered," Li Xuan replied with a smile.
"Junior disciple, your spirit is quite good. It seems you've made significant progress," Wen Boya said, patting Li Xuan's shoulder.
Li Xuan looked at Shen Ziwen and said with a smile, "This is all thanks to third senior brother's Thousand-Year Snow Ganoderma. Otherwise, I don't think recovery would have been so quick."
"We are fellow disciples, no need for thanks," Shen Ziwen said with a smile.
"Exactly. Junior disciple, sixth senior brother mentioned you also enjoy drinking. I have plenty of good wine here. Today, with your recovery, we must celebrate properly. Firstly, to celebrate your victory, and secondly, to welcome you," Wen Boya added.
"Also, we heard that junior disciple, you're quite skilled at roasting meat. Today, we must taste your culinary skills," Wen Boya stepped forward and said.
"Alright," Li Xuan nodded. However, a look of difficulty then appeared on his face, "But I don't have any fresh beast meat on me."
"Haha, fifth senior brother anticipated this. Here, look," Shen Ziwen said with a smile, then shifted his gaze to Lu Hanchi beside him.
"Junior disciple, what do you think of this Yellow Ox Beast?" Lu Hanchi said, with a wave of his hand, a beast five zhang in size appeared before them.
"An eighth-tier Yellow Ox Beast, its meat is extremely good. Second senior brother, but I wonder if you've prepared enough wine?" Li Xuan retracted his gaze and said with a smile.
"Junior disciple, don't worry, there's plenty!" Wen Boya said with a laugh.
"Good. In that case, I shall be unskillful," Li Xuan nodded, then walked to the Yellow Ox Beast and quickly skinned and de-haired it.
A few minutes later, Wang Kun walked over carrying a giant log.
Seeing this, Li Xuan threaded the Yellow Ox Beast and, after placing it on the fire pit built by Lu Hanchi and the others, began to roast it.
"Everyone, dig in!" Half an hour later, after Li Xuan had sprinkled the spices and roasted for a few more minutes, he called out.
"Wow, it smells amazing!" Even though Song Qianyu was a girl, she was extremely tempted by the aroma. Li Xuan smiled slightly and cut off a leg, offering it to Song Qianyu.
After taking a small bite, Song Qianyu looked up at Li Xuan in shock and said, "Junior disciple, it's so delicious!"
"Mmm, fourth senior sister, it's more than delicious, it's heavenly!" Wang Kun's mouth was full of beast meat, making his speech slurred. After he spoke, he took another large bite.
"First senior brother, second senior brother, I'll toast you... one pot." Li Xuan originally intended to say one cup, but upon realizing there were no cups and that drinking from a cup was not satisfying, he simply held the wine pot and drank.
"Hahaha, one pot it is. Plenty!" Wen Boya and He Xiuzhu exchanged a glance and smiled, then also picked up their wine pots and drank.
"This wine is excellent, second senior brother, you must provide me with the source," Li Xuan said after taking a large gulp, finding the taste exceptionally good.
As it entered his lungs, a warmth spread throughout his body, and the spiritual energy within him became even more refined. Compared to the spirit wine he had prepared before, this was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"No problem, no problem," Wen Boya replied with a smile.
"These fellows are having quite a lively time. But this wine, it's been a while since I've had it," Dan Wushuang watched Li Xuan and the other six drinking from mid-air, a smile appearing in his eyes. After muttering to himself, his figure disappeared.
Five-Dimensional World, Central Domain.
"Brother Jun, it's been over eight years, do you think Xuan'er has found Fuyao?" In the small courtyard behind the mountain, Wang Lanying looked into the distance with longing, murmuring.
"The Moon Clan is a great clan, and Xuan'er isn't foolish, he should have found her long ago. It's just that with a great clan like the Moon Clan, will they acknowledge Fuyao and Xuan'er's marriage?"
"I'm worried that Fan'er might be looked down upon," Li Jun said, pulling Wang Lanying into his arms with a worried expression.
"Xuan'er ventured out all alone, he must have suffered a lot. If I had known, we shouldn't have agreed to let him go out," Wang Lanying's expression became even more worried.
"You, you, you're a spirit master. If Xuan'er doesn't ascend, is he supposed to stay here forever? Besides, Fuyao was also brought to the Eternal Continent, how could Xuan'er not go find her? Although Xuan'er might suffer some hardships, at least he's ventured out."
"Furthermore, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. You don't need to worry too much," Li Jun said with a wry smile.
"As if I'm the only one thinking about Fan'er," Wang Lanying glared at Li Jun unhappily.
"Heh heh, he's my son, Li Jun's son, of course I miss him. But, how can one see a rainbow without experiencing storms? As long as he is safe, let him venture as he pleases," Li Jun said with a hearty laugh.
"You, you should focus on your cultivation. Break through to the God-Breaking realm as soon as possible, so that you can help Xuan'er if anything happens in the future," Wang Lanying said with a scolding glance at Li Jun.
"Madam, your reprimand is correct. Your husband accepts it," Li Jun replied with a solemn expression.
