Over the next stretch of time, Chen Qing devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
By day, he studied the mysteries of the Nine Shadows Evasion Technique or continued practicing his spear techniques. At night, he refined True Essence Pills, circulated the Great Void True Scripture to accumulate true essence, and tempered his foundation.
After lunch that day, Qing Dai cleaned up the dishes while seemingly casually mentioning, "Senior Brother, when I went to the Steward Hall this morning to collect the monthly allowance, I heard several stewards chatting. They said... they saw Senior Uncle Luo from Wanfa Peak return to the sect."
Chen Qing paused slightly as he was about to head back to the Quiet Room.
Master had returned?
His heart stirred.
Though this master of his had an eccentric temperament, he had treated Chen Qing with genuine sincerity. Not only had he taught him spear techniques, he had also gifted him that precious set of same-source spirit treasure spears.
Chen Qing had gained something from cultivating the spear array, so this was the perfect chance to seek his guidance.
He knew that Luo Zhixian normally kept a low profile and disliked formalities, yet he had a particular fondness for a bowl of delicious fish soup.
That afternoon, Chen Qing headed directly to Bibo Pond.
His luck was not bad today. In just over an hour, he caught two plump Silver-Scaled Treasure Fish.
Carrying the fish, Chen Qing arrived at that familiar small courtyard on Wanfa Peak.
The courtyard gate was still shut tight, and he lightly knocked the door ring.
A moment later, the door creaked open, revealing the old servant's wrinkled face.
"Young Master."
When the old servant saw Chen Qing and the two Silver-Scaled Treasure Fish still flopping energetically in his hands, a rare smile appeared on
