Sunset Glow Sect of Brocade Cloud Peak

"Almost there?!"

Yue Miaoyin looked at Lu Qingfeng, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.

Having wandered aimlessly in the Weeping Marsh for over seven years, Yue Miaoyin never expected the surprise to come so quickly.

She entered the Weeping Marsh at the age of twenty-four, enduring Life and Death experiences, and it took her eight years to finally reach Shangyang Country. She stayed in Shangyang Country for another forty-one years before meeting Lu Qingfeng. She then spent three or four years with Lu Qingfeng before leaving Shangyang Country for another seven years.

In total, he had been away from his sect, relatives, and friends for a full sixty years.

She was a beautiful 24-year-old in the past, but now she has grown into a woman.

If he hadn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would already be halfway to his death. Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng removed the cold poison with the Kindling Flame Pill, and after cultivating in the Weeping Marsh for several years, he successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment four years ago, extending his lifespan to about three hundred years.

Thus, at the age of eighty-four, he is still in the initial stage and has more than two hundred years of good life ahead of him.

Otherwise, he would have been old and frail long ago.

"Less than ten li."

Seeing that Daoist Miaoyin was unusually excited, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh.

Walking alongside the Weeping Marsh with the Daoist Miaoyin, they talked and learned that the Daoist Miaoyin's original surname was Yue, and her name was Yue Miaoyin. Seeing Yue Miaoyin's agitation, he understood.

They traversed the Weeping Marsh, using Giant Tortoise Puppet for transportation, and their own strength was considerable. They encountered no major dangers along the way. Initially, they traveled cautiously, covering less than 7,300 li in two years. Later, they refined a 'Tier-Two Thousand Mechanisms Stone,' greatly increasing their sensing range, and also crafted the Azure Butterfly Puppet, significantly enhancing their exploration range and efficiency.

Only then did the speed increase.

Lu Qingfeng had actually found a way out of the Weeping Marsh long ago, but he hadn't accelerated his exit in order to improve his cultivation.

Currently, my cultivation has reached the Sixth Layer True Qi Realm. The medicinal materials for refining top-level pills such as Qi-Gathering Pill and Qi-Coalescing Pill are extremely difficult to find. I also need to start preparing to collect various medicinal materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pill.

Staying in the Weeping Marsh any longer is a waste of time.

So they have been speeding up their journey these past few days, and are now less than ten miles from the exit of the Weeping Marsh.

"Very good!"

Yue Miaoyin's eyes reddened as she suppressed her excitement and bowed deeply to Lu Qingfeng, saying, "I will never forget your kindness, Junior Brother!"

Without Lu Qingfeng, Yue Miaoyin would have been unable to resolve the cold poison, remaining trapped in the True Qi Realm for life, and dying and disappearing without a trace when her hundred-year lifespan ended. Secondly, she would not have been able to cross the Weeping Marsh and return to the Sunset Glow Sect.

Both were great kindnesses, Yue Miaoyin was extremely grateful; her feelings were genuine and undeniable.

"It was nothing, Senior Sister Miaoyin, there's no need for such formality. I've relied on your help a lot in Miaoyin City, and now that we're almost at Biyang Lake, I'll need your continued support. I can't accept such a Qingfeng gift."

Lu Qingfeng stepped aside to avoid the bow, and said repeatedly.

He helped Yue Miaoyin a great deal.

Yue Miaoyin also helped him and the three siblings a great deal. When their lives were hanging by a thread, it was only through the help of Miaoyin City that they were able to develop later; otherwise, they would have been devoured by the Return to Truth Sect and Azure Jade Sect long ago, leaving not even bones and scraps.

Yue Miaoyin remembered his kindness, and Lu Qingfeng would never forget Yue Miaoyin's kindness.

Furthermore, after leaving the Weeping Marsh, Lu Qingfeng still needs Yue Miaoyin to act as a go-between, to settle down in the Sunset Glow Sect where Yue Miaoyin came from, and to familiarize himself with the unfamiliar environment, so as not to accidentally offend any powerful figures!

The two are now quite close, addressing each other as senior and junior, which shows their intimacy.

Lu Qingfeng dared not accept such a grand gesture.

"Junior brother, don't worry. Although my senior sister doesn't have much influence in the Sunset Glow Sect, my great-aunt is exceptionally talented and has long been at the Foundation Cultivation stage. After sixty years, she will surely be Body Tempering. My great-aunt has always doted on me. With her protection, no one will dare to cause trouble for the Sunset Glow Sect if things go wrong."

Yue Miaoyin said solemnly.

She cared deeply for Lu Qingfeng, her friend from her time in the Shangyang Country when they were down on their luck.

The favor he received was one layer, and Lu Qingfeng's own mystery was another.

Alchemist and weapon refiners who have reached the entry level can thrive and be highly valued in the Sunset Glow Sect even without the protection of their great-aunt.

To the east of the Weeping Marsh lies Biyang Lake.

The entire Biyang Lake spans 36 million miles, containing countless islands and an even more expansive surrounding area. Ordinary cultivators never leave the Biyang Lake region in their entire lives.

The Gathering Cloud Mountains is located in the westernmost part of Biyang Lake, adjacent to the Weeping Marsh. It stretches for thousands of miles and contains several Spiritual Qi vibrant peaks, which are occupied by four factions and are known as the 'Four Gathering Cloud Sects'.

In reality, they are all minor sects, with the strongest among them being only Spirit Void Cultivator. They have some reputation in the western border regions, but compared to the truly major sects, they are completely insignificant.

The Sunset Glow Sect is one of the Four Gathering Cloud Sects, located on Brocade Cloud Peak in the south.

"Brocade Cloud Peak is just ahead!"

In the mountains, Yue Miaoyin led the way, with Lu Qingfeng following behind with Qingshan and Qingyu. The Giant Tortoise Puppet was too conspicuous, so Lu Qingfeng left it in the Weeping Marsh for later use.

The four emerged from the Weeping Marsh and followed Yue Miaoyin straight to the Sunset Glow Sect on Brocade Cloud Peak in the Gathering Cloud Mountains.

"So many clouds!"

Lu Qingyu walked briskly, feeling quite cheerful in the new environment, pointing to the clouds and wonders on the distant mountain peaks.

The clouds, like crimson brocade, entwined around the upper half of the mountain peaks that pierced the clouds, becoming a scenic view in themselves.

"That is Brocade Cloud Peak."

Yue Miaoyin said with a smile.

People say that "one feels timid when nearing home," Yue Miaoyin was no exception. The closer she got to the Sunset Glow Sect, the more nervous Yue Miaoyin became, and she even spoke much less.

"Did Sister Yue grow up here?"

Lu Qingyu asked curiously.

"Good."

Yue Miaoyin nodded, and seeing Qingyu's lively personality, her tension eased slightly.

At the pace of the four people, Brocade Cloud Peak was reached quickly.

Who goes there?

Upon arriving at the foot of the peak, they saw the mountain gate standing tall, guarded by two gray-robed disciples, both at the True Qi Realm cultivation level. They approached Lu Qingfeng and his companions to inquire.

Brocade Cloud Peak is the location of the Sunset Glow Sect's mountain gate, so naturally not just anyone can enter and exit at will.

"Yue Miaoyin, quickly go and inform Elder Yue Changchun!"

Yue Miaoyin took out a Brocade Cloud Token from her sleeve and tossed it to one of the disciples. She tried her best to suppress her voice, but it still trembled slightly.

"Elder Yue Changchun?"

The two gray-robed disciples took the token, examined it, exchanged a glance, and then asked, "How does this senior possess a disciple's token from our Sunset Glow Sect?"

"This is a long story. Go and inform Elder Yue Changchun immediately. You will know when he arrives."

Yue Miaoyin had no mind to explain to the two gray-robed disciples at this moment, and frowned as she spoke.

"Can--"

The gray-robed disciple holding the token hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nameless 'Yue Changchun.' Senior, have you mistaken me for someone else or remembered my name incorrectly?"

Seeing that Yue Miaoyin possessed profound cultivation and Sunset Glow Sect disciple's token, the gray-robed disciple dared not be negligent. However, after much thought, he realized that while there were indeed elders with the surname Yue in the sect, there was no one named 'Yue Changchun'.

"How is that possible?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Miaoyin frowned. Seeing that the gray-robed disciple's expression seemed genuine, she suppressed her unease and asked repeatedly, "Is Yue Miaofa still in the sect?"

"Elder Miaofa?"

The gray-robed disciple nodded, a glint of something unusual flashing in his eyes, and said, "This junior will go and inform them immediately. Please wait a moment, senior."

"Um."

Yue Miaoyin responded, her face showing some worry.
