A hundredfold return! My unfilial disciples are all reincarnations of the Empress.

A few days later, Qingyun Palace was in an uproar.

When the elders on duty were taking a headcount of the registered personnel, they discovered that Elder Zhao Qian, who had been stationed on the main peak for many years, was nowhere to be found.

The elders searched the entire clan, but still found no trace of them.

"Why has Elder Zhao suddenly disappeared?"

"I saw him on the main peak yesterday evening, could he have vanished into thin air?"

"Could it be that they went on a trip without reporting it?"

"But Elder Zhao has never left the sect without permission!"

"Could it be that we've encountered a high-level demonic beast from a secret realm?"

"Or perhaps... remnants of the demonic path from ten years ago are secretly seeking revenge?"

Countless speculations spread throughout the sect, causing widespread panic.

Several core elders gathered in the main hall of the main peak, their faces solemn. They searched the entire sect but still couldn't find a single clue.

The final conclusion is that Elder Zhao Qian went down the mountain for training but unfortunately encountered a high-level demonic beast and his whereabouts are unknown.

On Xiaozhu Peak, Lin Feng waved his hand, and a large pile of resources shimmering with spiritual energy appeared out of thin air.

It was taken from Zhao Qian's storage ring after he was killed.

Thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, various healing pills, several sets of earth-grade cultivation techniques, defensive magic weapons, and many rare materials.

Lin Feng gave Liu Yushu the cultivation technique, defensive magic artifacts, and a portion of healing pills.

"Take these resources and use them," Lin Feng calmly instructed. "Cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."

Looking at the dazzling array of treasures before her, Liu Yushu felt a slight tingling in her nose and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Her master truly gave her everything and held nothing back.

Many parents in this world cannot do this.

"Ding! Detected that the host acted decisively and eliminated potential threats, protecting the disciple's path to enlightenment!"

"Triggering the hidden reward from the Great Love Master!"

"Disciple Liu Yushu's favorability rating: 75! (Following her to the death)"

"Triggered a 28x critical strike bonus!"

"Rewards: A wisp of spiritual energy to repair your spiritual root, 30 high-grade healing pills, 5 random heaven-grade cultivation techniques, and 1 random heaven-grade defensive magic weapon!"

A crisp system notification sounded in Lin Feng's mind, and pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged into his dantian, instantly bringing the repair progress to 60%!

The system notification tone continued to sound.

"Random item draw in progress..."

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Taiyin Guiyi Technique (Heavenly Rank), the Myriad Spirits Devouring Heaven Dao (Heavenly Rank), the Void Illusion Shadowless Step (Heavenly Rank), the Mountain-Suppressing Glazed Cover (Heavenly Rank), the Spirit Control Heart Sutra (Heavenly Rank), and the Nine Revolutions Reversal Spirit Technique (Heavenly Rank)."

Lin Feng checked the item information and found that the Zhenyue Glazed Shield was an extremely powerful defensive magic artifact that could withstand a full-force attack from a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Taiyin Guiyi Jue technique allows one to absorb the essence of Taiyin when practiced at night.

Lin Feng gave the Taiyin Guiyi Technique to Liu Yushu for her to cultivate. He himself then "strike while the iron was hot" and went into seclusion to cultivate.

He trained for two months and by the time he emerged, he had already reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

That day, Lin Feng went down the mountain to drink.

The Frost Sword landed in the bustling Qingxi Town, which was now teeming with people and very lively.

Lin Feng knew the area well and headed straight for the Linjiangxian Restaurant in the town.

This century-old restaurant specializes in serving cultivators and members of aristocratic families. The food in the restaurant contains spiritual energy and has various effects, hence the price is not cheap.

He went straight up to a private room on the second floor, ordered a table of delicacies and a pot of aged spirit wine, and drank alone by the window.

The spirit wine is refreshing and mellow, a very pleasant experience.

Just as he raised his glass, the area downstairs suddenly fell silent.

A stunningly beautiful figure slowly walked into the store.

The woman wore a flowing, smoky blue dress, her figure slender and graceful. Her appearance was flawless, with delicate features, arched eyebrows, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were clear and captivating, exuding an aloofness that kept strangers at bay. Her skin was as white as jade, making her seem like a celestial being descended from the moon.

What's most amazing is the aura she exudes.

His spiritual energy was concentrated and did not leak, his foundation was unfathomable, and every move he made carried the nobility and domineering nature of a genius from a major sect.

The monks inside the shop all turned to look at them, but no one dared to approach them.

"Such beauty and temperament are truly rare in this world."

"Judging by his demeanor and cultivation level, he must be a prodigy from some sect!"

hushed exclamations of surprise quietly arose.

Inside the riverside private room, Lin Feng held a wine glass, looked down, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Just then, the woman in blue walking downstairs paused slightly.

She was passing through Qingxi Town when her divine sense inadvertently swept over the Linjiangxian Restaurant and instantly caught Lin Feng's gaze.

Seeing that the other party's gaze was open and composed, and that he did not show the infatuation and greed of an ordinary cultivator when he looked her over.

She couldn't help but become interested.

The woman's cool phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she met Lin Feng's gaze, even though they were separated by a floor.

Lin Feng, however, remained languid and indifferent, raising his cup and nodding slightly as a gesture of respect from afar, displaying an ethereal grace.

The woman in green felt even more puzzled.

She simply went upstairs to the second floor and arrived at the door of Lin Feng's private room.

A gentle knock was made on the wooden door of the private room, followed by a clear and melodious female voice.

"Fellow Daoist, may I have a word with you?"

Lin Feng raised his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips, his voice lazy and easygoing: "Please come in, young lady."

A woman in green pushed open the door and entered, her figure graceful and elegant, exuding a cool and ethereal aura.

She didn't sit down casually, but stood by the window, her phoenix eyes falling lightly on Lin Feng, getting straight to the point.

"My name is Su Qinghan, from the Xuanbing Holy Land of the Eastern Region. I was passing through this place when I inadvertently sensed your extraordinary aura, so I have taken the liberty of disturbing you."

When she introduced herself, her tone was calm, yet it carried the confidence of a prodigy from a major sect.

The Xuanbing Holy Land is a top-tier immortal sect in the Eastern Region, surpassing all other sects in the Great Chu.

Lin Feng picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and calmly replied, "Qingyun Palace, Lin Feng."

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Qinghan's eyes.

She had heard of Qingyun Palace, but it had declined since the war between immortals and demons ten years ago and had long lost its former glory.

But the white-robed man before her had an air of otherworldly elegance and a calm demeanor. Even though he only had the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, her intuition told her that this person was no ordinary individual.

"So you're from Qingyun Palace, fellow Daoist." Su Qinghan nodded slightly.

She suppressed her doubts and asked softly, "I am on my way to the ancient ruins of Lingyun Peak. I am new to this place and do not know the way, so I have come to ask you for guidance."

Lin Feng understood and then told Su Qinghan the exact location of the ancient ruins.

The ancient ruins are located near a cliff on Lingyun Peak. The location is remote, and outsiders can easily get lost.

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist." Su Qinghan bowed slightly in thanks, his cold and aloof expression softening slightly. "I have important matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave now."

The private room returned to quiet.

"A disciple from the Mystic Ice Holy Land? Interesting."

His gaze returned to the delicious food on the table, and he thought of Liu Yushu, who had been diligently cultivating for the past two months.

Lin Feng immediately raised his hand and summoned the waiter from the restaurant, who then packed up several freshly prepared dishes.
