After hearing Jiang Liu's words, all four of them widened their eyes and stared at Jiang Liu without blinking.
Although I had suspected it before, it was still a bit hard to believe when I heard Jiang Liu say it himself.
Seeing the expressions on the four people's faces, Jiang Liu was both amused and exasperated. He said with a smile, "What's wrong? Didn't you already know?"
Elder Liuxing smiled and said, "Although we had some suspicions before, it was still a bit of a surprise to hear you say it yourself."
"Alright, you must have come all this way for something else. Speak!" Elder Yun Yue said with a smile.
Elder Yun Yue, as an elder of the Star Moon Sect, is currently staying at the Flowing Cloud Sect's residence to cultivate the Star Cloud Saint Art.
Moreover, she has a very good relationship with Elder Liuxing. She is a representative of the two Grandmaster with a good relationship, namely the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect.
Jiang Liu nodded, then explained his situation and said that he would no longer come to cultivate together.
When the group heard that Jiang Liu would no longer be training with them, they felt a sense of loss. They knew that with Jiang Liu around, their progress in strengthening their bones had been much faster.
If Jiang Liu doesn't come again, they will lose valuable time. As martial artists know, if one step ahead, one step ahead is always ahead.
Tang Wanyu, in particular, became anxious upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, but she didn't know how to respond, so she just stood by and watched Jiang Liu anxiously.
Then he looked at Chen Xiaoyun, probably hoping that Chen Xiaoyun could put in a good word for Jiang Liu.
Chen Xiaoyun shook her head at Tang Wanyu, and Tang Wanyu lowered her head dejectedly.
Jiang Liu had no idea what they were thinking, and then began to explain the precautions for strengthening blood vessels with the Star Power.
When Jiang Liu recounted the horrific scene of strengthening blood vessels, the four couldn't help but shudder, knowing that they too would eventually experience the same thing.
The four then asked Jiang Liu about some cultivation matters, mainly concerning strengthening Bone Tempering.
Jiang Liu stayed there for almost an hour before leaving gracefully.
Tang Wanyu watched Jiang Liu's departing figure, her lips pouting as if she wanted to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Chen Xiaoyun and the others shook their heads as they looked at Tang Wanyu, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "That silly girl."
After leaving the Flowing Cloud Sect's residence, Jiang Liu went directly to the Ascension Tower.
After entering the Ascension Tower, Jiang Liu dismissed the female waitress who came to greet him and headed straight for the top floor.
After Jiang Liu reached the top floor, Murong Aotian sensed Jiang Liu's presence, opened the door, and came out.
Murong Aotian smiled at Jiang Liu and said, "What brings you here today?"
Murong Aotian knew that Jiang Liu was usually busy with cultivation and rarely went out. He usually communicated with others through messages. Today was unusual, as he actually came to see him.
Jiang Liu gave Murong Aotian an awkward smile and said, "Grandpa, you're too kind. I just finished a period of cultivation today, and it's New Year's Eve, so I came to visit you."
Murong Aotian nodded, turned around and let Jiang Liu in, then followed him into the secret chamber.
After entering the secret room, Jiang Liu walked to the reception area, sat down, and started making tea.
Jiang Liu chatted with Murong Aotian about some recent events in the Great Qian Dynasty while brewing tea.
Murong Aotian answered Jiang Liu's questions one by one, and even offered his own opinions on some of them.
The most significant events currently unfolding in the entire Great Qian Dynasty are those occurring in the four prefectures of Mo Province, Xun Province, Dui Province, and Gen Province.
In Murong Aotian's mind, he also ranked the events that happened in these states from major to minor.
After listening to Murong Aotian's explanation, Jiang Liu didn't say much, but he did express some concern about Murong Aotian's current situation.
It should be noted that Murong Aotian is not young either; he is even older than Murong Lie.
Although he is Grandmaster, he is getting old after all, and if he cannot further strengthen his body, he will inevitably begin to age.
The current Murong Family of Ascension Tower relied on Murong Aotian to hold on for a long time before Murong Lie advanced to become Grandmaster.
If it weren't for Murong Aotian, the Murong Family would probably have already been swallowed up by the other families in Ascension Tower.
Therefore, Jiang Liu still held Murong Aotian in high esteem.
It should be noted that Murong Aotian's lineage is not the direct line. If Murong Aotian had any ulterior motives, he would have swallowed up Murong Aotian Murong Family's assets long ago.
Murong Aotian's actions were also incomprehensible to his sons.
Therefore, Murong Aotian's relationship with his sons was not very harmonious.
Murong Aotian usually lives alone in Yuncheng, and his son rarely comes to visit him.
What Jiang Liu didn't expect was that even though it was New Year's Eve, Murong Aotian was all alone here.
If Murong Aotian knew what Jiang Liu was thinking, he'd probably roll his eyes.
In fact, Murong Aotian's sons began to change their attitude towards Murong Aotian after Jiang Liu pacified the entire Yunzhou.
Especially after learning that Murong Lie had also advanced to the Grandmaster level, he lost all interest in the Murong Family's assets.
Therefore, he naturally became close to Murong Aotian.
This year, everyone gathered in Yuncheng to celebrate the Spring Festival together.
The reason Murong Aotian is still here is simply to handle some remaining matters. Afterward, he will go to his residence in the back to enjoy family time with his son, grandson, and great-grandson.
So the Jiang Liu's lingering here is simply disturbing others, yet it remains unaware of it.
After Jiang Liu understood what he wanted to know from Murong Aotian, he took his leave.
Murong Aotian saw Jiang Liu out of the room, tidied up, locked the door, and returned to his residence in the back.
Jiang Liu went straight back to the mansion by the mountain without stopping, while Murong Yin, Feng Yue, and the others had already returned after shopping.
After the five of them finished lunch together, Murong Yin and Feng Yue, along with Cuier and Xiao He, began to pack the things they would need for the evening, as well as some New Year's gifts.
Jiang Liu went to the cultivation square alone, intending to check his internal condition.
Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on the cultivation plaza, guided the vital energy from his dantian, and circulated it along the meridians in his body to understand the condition of his body.
He then extended the spiritual power within his Divine Sense sea and thoroughly examined the condition of his body.
He stopped only after he had thoroughly examined his entire body from within.
In fact, Jiang Liu was afraid that something uncontrollable might happen after he started strengthening his blood vessels, so he had himself checked all at once to be on the safe side.
Finding nothing amiss, Jiang Liu was finally able to relax completely.
