Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Su Baichen spent three years building an incredibly solid foundation for himself.

If an ordinary cultivator's Small Heavenly Circuit is a trickling stream, then his Small Heavenly Circuit is a wide Grand Canal... The only problem is that he hasn't accumulated enough true energy to circulate within it yet.

But now that the foundation building stage is complete, accumulating true qi will be much faster.

Feng Linzi shook his head with a wry smile: "You child, you gave me quite a fright after not seeing you for so long. How can you break through so easily? What if something goes wrong?"

Su Baichen greeted Feng Linzi with a grin, "Senior brother, what have you been up to lately? Has anything interesting happened out there?"

His expression was like that of a child waiting to hear a story.

Upon hearing this, Feng Linzi's expression changed slightly.

Seeing the change in his expression, Su Baichen quickly asked, "Senior brother, has something bad happened?"

He paused briefly, then asked, "But something happened in my hometown?"

Feng Linzi sighed helplessly, "You're still so perceptive... Actually, it's not just your hometown, but the entire Xianyou County is not at peace."

Su Baichen pressed, "Senior brother, what exactly happened? Isn't our Xianyou County right near Changchun Palace? Why would..."

Feng Linzi frowned and said, "It's the work of demons and evil spirits. I don't know what's wrong with those demons and evil spirits, but they've thrown many unorthodox and heretical techniques into the human world."

"This has led to the emergence of many unorthodox and unorthodox practitioners in recent years, creating chaos and disorder in the world."

Su Baichen asked in surprise, "More details?"

Feng Linzi said, "For example, some unorthodox cultivators will secretly dig up newly buried graves and take the fresh bones to refine magical artifacts."

"Some will deliberately kill infants and extract their souls to forge weapons."

"In more gruesome cases, they would even attack pregnant women and dissect their placentas to refine elixirs."

"And so on and so forth..."

Su Baichen felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. He asked, "Then Su Family Village... Su Family Village also encountered these troubles?"

Feng Linzi sighed, "Xianyou County is still considered good, after all, there are Changchun Palace disciples stationed outside the county town."

"It's inevitable that we'll be affected, and some desperate criminals will always wander in and cause trouble... Before I came back, I heard that your Su Family Village seemed to have had its graves dug up... Bai Chen, I think you should ask your master about this and see if you should go back."

Su Baichen was moved: "Senior brother, may I?"

Feng Linzi patted him on the shoulder: "Originally it wouldn't have worked, but who told you to be a Qi Refining Realm cultivator now?"

"Although the Great Circulation of Qi Refining in the initial stage also requires quiet cultivation, it is relatively safe at least in the Twelve Meridians stage. As long as you have a quiet place to cultivate, it will not delay your cultivation too much."

"Cultivation can be slowed down, it can be done later, but there is only one hometown."

"I don't want to see you leave any regrets on your future spiritual path."

Sever all worldly ties!

Su Baichen suddenly realized the reason why Feng Linzi suggested he do this: to make him sever his ties with the mortal world!

However, Feng Linzi's method was clearly not to make him completely sever his ties with the mortal world, but rather to make him consider the consequences of his actions.

Su Baichen naturally liked this approach, but he still had concerns: "Would my master agree?"

Others may hesitate, but I think Master will definitely not stop you.

Feng Linzi showed no concern whatsoever, and even seemed quite confident.

Su Baichen was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized: Wasn't this Feng Linzi taught by Xuan Yin Zhenren?!

"I'll go report to my master first, and you can go in and talk to him after I come out. There shouldn't be any problems."

Feng Linzi winked at him, then turned and walked towards Xuan Yin Zhenren's chambers.

Su Baichen was somewhat restless; the feeling of waiting was not pleasant at all.

At this moment, his third senior sister, Wu Xiangyu, passed by. She had been with Su Baichen for three years. No matter how unconvinced she was at first, she could at least exchange a few words with him now.

"Junior Brother Bai Chen, why aren't you serving Master inside the house? Why are you waiting outside?"

Her words were actually somewhat sarcastic, revealing her jealousy that Su Baichen could live directly in Xuan Yin Zhenren's bedroom.

Su Baichen answered frankly, "It's Senior Brother who's back. He's talking to Master."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiangyu's expression immediately changed, revealing a girlish demeanor: "When did Senior Brother return? How come I didn't know? He didn't even tell me... or us. I wonder if he brought us any gifts this time?"

Su Baichen's expression was somewhat wooden; it was truly rare to see her looking like a young girl in love.

He never expected that his third senior sister would have such thoughts... But thinking about it, it makes sense, after all, Feng Linzi can be said to be the most outstanding among the second-generation disciples of the Yin Sect.

And so, Wu Xiangyu waited outside with Su Baichen.

She was simply waiting for Feng Linzi to come out.

Just then, Xuan Yin Zhenren's voice came from inside the room: "Come in."

Su Baichen immediately stepped forward, but the person next to him moved and jogged past him to go in first!

Su Baichen's eyes widened slightly. He couldn't understand why his senior sister wanted to see their master.

He followed Wu Xiangyu into the room and heard him greeting Feng Linzi.

He looked up and saw Xuan Yin Zhenren's helpless expression, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself: It seems even Master knows about his senior sister's little schemes.

"Ahem, Bai Chen, is there something you want to say to your master?"

Su Baichen perked up, knowing that his senior brother had already spoken to him beforehand, so he quickly nodded and said, "Master, I heard that things are not peaceful at home, and I would like to go back."

Master Xuan Yin nodded calmly: "I understand. In that case, you will be included in the group that goes out to exorcise evil this time."

"This time, your senior brother will still be leading the expedition. We might encounter disciples from other sects of Changchun Palace. Don't embarrass the Yin Sect."

Su Baichen was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Master. This disciple will definitely perform well."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiangyu quickly added, "Master, this disciple also wants to go down the mountain!"

Master Xuan Yin said irritably, "You're no good."

The tone was incredibly resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Wu Xiangyu immediately asked, puzzled and angry, "But why can Junior Brother do it?"

"In terms of cultivation, he is only..."

Master Xuanyin interrupted, "He has already entered the Qi Refining Realm."

Wu Xiangyu was slightly taken aback, then became even more self-righteous: "But I've also entered the Qi Refining Realm, and I was already at the initial Qi Refining Realm two years ago!"

Master Xuan Yin sighed and said, "But your 'Eight Transformations of Illusory Yin' is only at the seventh rank. You should at least reach the fifth rank before you can leave the mountain."

The seventh-grade "Illusory Yin Eight Transformations" is actually just a high-level illusion technique.

Wu Xiangyu asked, unconvinced, "And what about my junior brother?"

Master Xuanyin said, "Bai Chen is exceptionally talented in illusion techniques, and he has already reached the fourth-grade level of seemingly real yet illusory art."

Wu Xiangyu immediately felt a sense of frustration.

Both are cultivation techniques of the Illusory Yin Eight Transformations, but the difference between the seventh and fourth grade levels is like heaven and earth...

She lowered her head like a defeated dog, and said dejectedly, "It seems that Junior Brother Wunianzi was right, we really are not from the same world."

Su Baichen and Xuan Yin Zhenren exchanged a quick glance... Su Baichen sensed a hint of coldness in their eyes.

They didn't care about Wu Xiangyu's loud and boisterous manner, but they were very concerned about the people behind the scenes who were stirring up trouble.

Although this is true, Wu Nianzi always gives people the impression that he has ulterior motives.
