"Grandpa Markle."

Gu Han greeted him with a smile.

"It's Xiaohan. Didn't you go to Wuhun City? Why are you back?"

Markel and Lu Rentao reacted in the same way, putting down their pens and papers in surprise and standing up.

Chapter 51 Village Intelligence Bureau

"Who is this...?"

Bishop Markel naturally saw Bibi Dong beside Gu Han. The girl was very beautiful and lively, and could be said to be the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

“Grandpa Markel, this is my senior sister Bibi Dong.”

"Hello, Grandpa Markle."

Bibi Dong did not act superior to the other party because of their lower status, but greeted them very politely.

"Haha, hello. If you don't mind, this old man will call you Miss Xiao Dong."

Bibi Dong chuckled, "Grandpa Markel, please feel free to do as you please."

"Haha, Xiao Han, Miss Xiao Dong, don't stand there, come and sit down and chat."

Bishop Markel was clearly very happy.

Lu Rentao was completely ignored, but he didn't say much. He brought a teapot, brewed tea for the group, and then sat down to the side.

"Xiao Han, I heard that you were taken to Spirit City by a big shot from the Spirit Hall, and now you have a senior sister. Which big shot did you become his disciple?"

"Yes, Grandpa Markle, the kid is lucky. He's been taken in as a disciple by a very powerful senior."

"Well, in that case, you should follow your master and study hard."

“Of course, but Grandpa Markel, I have something to give you and Brother Rentao.”

"Oh, what is that?"

Markel raised a slight white eyebrow, put down his teacup, and asked with interest.

Gu Han didn't keep them in suspense any longer and took out the advanced meditation method he had improved from his soul tool.

This improved advanced meditation method is easier to learn and practice than the original, and it is also more effective.

“Grandpa Markel, this is an advanced meditation method I obtained in Wuhun City. It’s much better than what’s popular on the market.”

"You and Brother Rentao have been so helpful to me. This is a small token of my appreciation that I prepared especially for you. I hope Grandpa Markel and Brother Rentao won't find it offensive."

"This……"

Looking at the thin book on the table, Markle and Lu Rentao exchanged a hesitant glance.

Finally, Markel spoke up, saying, "Xiao Han, this advanced meditation method is only for important figures. Won't giving it to us displease your master?"

To be honest, they were definitely tempted. After all, this was an advanced meditation method, and practicing it would surely be twice as effective with half the effort.

Especially for Markel, his cultivation in this life has come to an end, but if he cultivates a higher level of meditation, he may still have a chance to go further. With hard work, he still has a chance to become a Soul King.

After becoming a Soul King, one will have the opportunity to become a Purple-Clad Bishop.

Lu Rentao is currently only a Great Soul Master, and his cultivation speed is too slow compared to some geniuses.

If he could acquire advanced meditation techniques, he could take another step closer to the limits he was originally capable of reaching.

If we say that, given Lu Rentao's talent, his limit in this lifetime is only level 50...

If he follows the proper methods, he might only be able to reach level 30 or even level 40. However, if he has advanced meditation techniques, he might be able to reach level 40 or even level 45 or higher.

After all, not everyone has a background like Yu Xiaogang, who can squander resources at will and push himself to his absolute limit.

If Yu Xiaogang were just an ordinary person, then his cultivation level would probably be limited to 10 in this lifetime.

Everyone wants to push their limits, and Markel and Lu Rentao are no exception. However, they also have concerns, fearing that possessing a treasure might bring trouble, and that Gu Han's master might be angry.

Gu Han naturally saw through their thoughts and waved his hand to explain, "Grandpa Markel, Brother Rentao, don't worry. This advanced meditation method is not actually a secret in the Spirit Hall. As long as you only use it for your own practice and don't pass it on to others, it's fine."

"Yes, Master also said that this advanced meditation method is nothing special. Every major sect has it, and it's not a secret."

Bibi Dong chimed in from the side, her voice clear and melodious, her enunciation crisp and decisive, making it incredibly pleasant to listen to.

"Moreover, our master also told us that we can do whatever we want with this advanced meditation method, and we can pass it on to anyone we like."

"Grandpa Markel, Brother Rentao, this is also a token of my junior brother's goodwill, so you don't need to delay."

"Just as my junior brother said, if you really have any concerns, just cultivate on your own and don't tell anyone. No one will do anything about it."

The two siblings worked together seamlessly, and their conversation dispelled Markle and Lu Rentao's concerns, bringing smiles to their faces.

"Haha, since it's Xiaohan's kind intention, we won't refuse."

Markel extended his experienced hand and presented the advanced meditation method to him.

Seeing that the two accepted the gifts, Gu Han gave them some medicinal herbs. These weren't any magical herbs, but rather some high-grade herbs that could help them cultivate better.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Gu Han and Bibi Dong bid farewell to the two and followed Ju Gui to Qinghe Village outside the city.

The quality of life in Qinghe Village is much better now than before. Gu Han usually keeps only enough money for his own expenses each month and sends the rest back home.

Old Gu initially intended to keep all the money for Gu Han, but after Gu Han's persuasion, he stopped insisting and used some of it to help the village repair roads, build waterwheels, repair irrigation ditches, and buy better seeds and farming tools.

Life in the village gradually became more prosperous. Although it couldn't compare to the extravagant nobles, they were living a good life without worrying about food and clothing, which was much better than the nearby villages.

The whole village is very united and works together to develop, creating a thriving and prosperous scene.

The other villages were very envious, envious that Qinghe Village had produced a Soul Master who had embarked on the road to wealth.

Stepping into the village again, Gu Han was still somewhat dazed, while Bibi Dong looked around curiously, wondering about the place where her junior brother had lived.

Almost everyone in the village knows Gu Han. When they saw him return to the village, they greeted him warmly, and Gu Han waved back in response.

The old men and women at the village entrance started talking about it, especially since Gu Han had brought back such a beautiful young girl, which gave them even more to talk about.

Ju and Gui were both highly skilled and had sharp ears, so they heard everything clearly. Gui Mei just shook his head with amusement but didn't say anything more. However, Yue Guan was different. He raised his orchid finger to cover his mouth and started teasing.

"Dong'er, did you hear that? You're Xiao Han's wife now!"

Gu Han's lips twitched. Although he did have feelings for Bibi Dong, they were both too young, and he wanted to cultivate their relationship slowly.

Before anything was even started, the villagers had already made their final judgment on him.

As expected, the Village Intelligence Bureau is a powerful organization, no matter which world it is in.

Bibi Dong blushed slightly, secretly glancing at Gu Han. Seeing him looking at her innocently, she pouted.

"Hmph, Uncle Ju, if you keep doing this, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Ju won't laugh at you anymore, Dong'er, don't be angry, okay?"

Yue Guan found this amusing, but on the surface he still obediently begged for mercy and tried to please her.

Bibi Dong's eyes were very bright and seemed to be able to speak. After ignoring Yue Guan for a while, she nodded, pretending to be hesitant.

"Alright then, I'll forgive you. But if Uncle Ju does this again, I'll really get angry."

However, while she was speaking, she also secretly glanced at Gu Han. When she saw that he was also looking at her, she subconsciously avoided his gaze. Then, realizing that something was wrong, she turned her gaze back and glared at Gu Han angrily.

What are you looking at?

"Cough cough..."

Gu Han coughed lightly, awkwardly averting his gaze, and quickly changed the subject: "It's nothing, Senior Sister, let me take you to meet my grandfather."

Chapter 52 Yue Guan: Kid, you're pretty sharp.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Gu Han pushed open the door almost instinctively and called out from the yard.

The situation inside the yard hadn't changed much; in fact, a chicken coop had appeared by the wall, housing eight chickens.

At this moment, Old Gu was sitting on a recliner by the wall outside, basking in the sun, with a palm-leaf fan covering his face, looking every bit the classic old man.

Upon hearing Gu Han's voice, Old Gu immediately put away his palm-leaf fan and sat up.

When he saw that it really was Gu Han, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Haha, Xiaohan, you're back."

Then his gaze fell on the three people behind Gu Han, and his smile became even more enthusiastic as he hurriedly reached out to greet them.

"We have guests too. Come, come, come inside and sit down."

Gu Han stepped forward and introduced the three people to his grandfather, explaining their relationship to him.

Once inside, there was naturally a flurry of pleasantries.

Old Gu lives alone at home. As the village chief, he has made many contributions to the village and is already highly respected by the villagers. Now, Gu Han's growth has brought benefits to the village, making the villagers live better lives, so Old Gu is naturally even more respected.

During this time, the villagers finally gathered together and came to Gu Han's house, holding chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and eggs, saying that they wanted to thank Gu Han for bringing them a good life.

Gu Han naturally confiscated these items, but in order not to disappoint everyone, the villagers gathered together, hired a chef, and cooked all the ingredients into dishes. They ate and drank together and had a good meal.

Of course, Gu Han did not forget the purpose of his visit and proposed that everyone move to the vicinity of Wuhun City.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Lao Gu and his team.

The reason is that they have lived here for generations and are used to it. Their ancestral graves and temples are also here, and they are reluctant to move away.

In addition, they are already used to living there, and moving away would just be the same, and they might even experience problems adjusting to the new environment.

For various reasons, not a single villager wanted to move there.

It's fine to go there for fun, but moving there is out of the question.

Gu Han didn't say anything more after hearing this. Since no one wanted to move, he wouldn't force them.

Since it was getting late, the four of them stayed overnight in the village.

The best thing about the courtyard is that it has a lot of rooms, and it's easy to find four rooms in the whole village.

At dawn the next day, the rooster crowed, and Gu Han got up on time. After a quick wash, he habitually went to the riverbank at the edge of the village to practice his sword.

The sword moves are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, with countless variations, and combined with special footwork, they are unpredictable.
