Fusang

Ji An left Limitless Hall and teleported to Condensing Emerald Cliff.

When he had left the sect some time ago, his disciple had only just broken through to the Golden Core Stage. Now that he had time, he needed to go offer his regards.

He looked up at the sun overhead and estimated from its height that it was only the hour of Shen.

Gathering his voice, he called into the cave abode:

"Lin Lan!"

With his current methods, even if the cave abode's sealing formation was activated, it could not cut off his voice.

No one answered from within the cave abode, which meant his disciple was most likely at the Department of Agriculture.

An Auspicious Cloud rose beneath his feet, and Ji An flew to the rear hall of the Department of Agriculture.

Lin Lan, who was cultivating inside the main hall, saw a bright flash of light before her eyes, then heard someone calling her name.

She immediately stopped cultivating and rushed outside to welcome him, cupping her hands as she said:

"I did not know Master was arriving. Please forgive me for failing to welcome you from afar."

"What fault is there? No need to stand on ceremony."

As Ji An spoke, he strode into the main hall and sat cross-legged upon the cushion at its center.

"When you broke through to Golden Core, I had urgent matters and left in a hurry. I did not have time to tell you how to cultivate after reaching the Golden Core Stage. Today, I'll make up for that lesson."

A teacher passed on the Dao, taught skills, and resolved doubts. What he needed to do was point his disciple toward the direction of her future efforts.

He gave a detailed explanation of the goals of Golden Core cultivation
