Wang Chen quietly returned to Luodu Immortal City.
After returning, he did not remain at home the entire time. Instead, he took Su Ziling with him to purchase a batch of supplies in the city.
Wang Chen also arranged to meet with True Person Shen, drinking wine, tasting tea, and sitting down to discuss the Dao.
He even refined a Magic Treasure for a member of the Seven Severing Society.
But a month later, Wang Chen took Su Ziling and left Luodu once again under the pretense of traveling abroad.
They returned to the Xuan You Immortal Mansion.
"This is a blessed grotto-heaven?"
The first time Su Ziling entered the Xuan You Immortal Mansion, the incomparably abundant Heaven and Earth spiritual energy nearly intoxicated her.
She possessed only Purple Mansion cultivation, so she inevitably experienced Spirit Intoxication.
"That's right."
Wang Chen smiled. "I'll be cultivating here for a while. You should cultivate diligently as well and strive to form your Golden Core as soon as possible."
"Mm."
Su Ziling shyly stuck out her tongue.
Her talent was quite good, and she lacked neither techniques nor resources. Yet her girlish nature had not entirely faded, and she was usually not especially diligent in her cultivation.
As a result, she had made little progress over the past few years.
Wang Chen had brought her to the Xuan You Immortal Mansion partly because he needed someone to guard it, but more importantly, he hoped Su Ziling could settle her heart and charge toward a higher realm.
She did not need to catch up to him, but she could not fall too far behind either.
Wang Chen smiled, then handed Su Ziling a key.
This was the Xuan You Secret Key—a secondary body of the secret treasure that controlled the Xuan You Immortal Mansion.
