"Mm, Qin Miaoyi actually came in person?"
Li Qingyuan's Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Perfection divine sense could extend six hundred zhang in every direction. He was the first to sense the aura of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, then discovered that the visitor was Qin Miaoyi.
The next second, Li Qingyuan waved his hand and put away all the Wood Attribute talisman paper. He took out the Spirit Gathering Talisman jade slip and began studying it while raising his brush to draw talismanic runes.
With his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation supported by the Breath Concealment Art, he naturally revealed only Qi Condensation Tenth Layer Perfection.
Li Qingyuan's complexion became haggard and brittle. His cheeks had grown noticeably thinner, and stubble covered his face. Though he looked like a handsome young man in his early twenties, he now carried some of a middle-aged man's weathered gravitas and maturity.
However, his eyes were Exceptionally Bright.
At times, an expression of sudden realization appeared on his face; at others, he looked baffled and troubled. He kept drawing Spirit Gathering Talismans on ordinary paper, again and again, muttering under his breath.
"No, no, it should be like this here."
"No, no, without Second-grade Mid-grade Talisman Drawing Materials, there's no way to improve my Talisman Path Skill."
"Father has been at the Qin Family for so long. Why hasn't he returned yet? Sigh..." Li Qingyuan revealed an irritated expression, seemingly deeply displeased that his Talisman Path Skill had hit a wall due to his lack of talisman-drawing materials.
Outside the cave abode, the second-grade formation was naturally absent. There was only the clan's original First-grade High-rank formation.
Li Dingzhou said, "Qin Family Patriarch, I'll go call Qingyuan out to welcome you immediately."
Qin Miaoyi waved her hand. "No need. Stand down. I'll see him myself."
