Five years passed.
The white hair atop the heads of the two elders, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, had grown noticeably more plentiful. Yet their cultivation had both entered the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, leaving them not far from Foundation Establishment Completion.
Ling Chengxin had also filled out more. Even her loose Daoist robe could scarcely conceal her curvaceous figure.
Her face appeared oval at first glance, yet her cheeks still carried a little baby fat. Her skin was tender and rosy, lending her an extra touch of cuteness.
