Two days passed in the blink of an eye under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Wow, it smells so good! Is it about to Pill Formation?" Smelling the enticing aroma, Zi Yan couldn't help but lick her lips and ask the Elder Huo beside her.

"Yes, it'll be ready soon!" Looking at the Medicinal Cauldron in front of Lin Ming, where the Pill Qi was so dense it resembled a white cloud floating above, Elder Huo said with a face full of satisfaction.

After receiving Elder Huo's affirmative reply, Zi Yan also showed a genuine smile.

After another hour of waiting, with a single stroke of Lin Ming's palm, a pill the size of a longan, perfectly round and translucent, like a crystal gemstone, appeared in Lin Ming's hand.

"Elder Huo!" Lin Ming presented the pills to Elder Huo with both hands.

Looking at the pills held in front of him, Elder Huo could no longer hide the excitement and satisfaction on his wrinkled face. His hands were itching to reach for the pills, but in the end, Elder Huo did not pick them up.

"Let's go!" After a moment, Elder Huo waved his hand and said.

For Elder Huo, Lin Ming will eventually become a soaring Giant Dragon, and Jia Nan Academy is just a place for him to rest. Now, this dragon already has the potential to take off.

I have already done a great service by Instructor this Giant Dragon during its resting time. Now, I should not place any burden on this soaring Giant Dragon.

"Elder Huo!" Lin Ming called out again when he heard Elder Huo tell him to leave.

"Go! The vast world outside is where you should truly shine. As for me, you can come back and visit whenever you have some free time!" Elder Huo said.

"Teacher, I'll take my leave." Hearing Elder Huo insist again, Lin Ming changed his address and knelt down to kowtow three times.

At this moment, if anyone were to look into Elder Huo's eyes, they would see a shimmering, crystalline light within them.

After getting up, Lin Ming saw Elder Huo wave his hand, signaling for people to leave. He then led Zi Yan out of the room, looking back.

"Lin Ming, the old man..."

"I know." Lin Ming interrupted Zi Yan as she was about to say something.

Lin Ming understood Elder Huo better than any of them. Elder Huo's decision to let him leave was not out of cold-heartedness or dislike; on the contrary, it was precisely because of his deep love for Lin Ming that Elder Huo did this.

Different people express love in different ways. Some people will freely express their feelings, while others will only silently protect their loved ones and not let them worry. Elder Huo belongs to the latter type.

"Alright, let's go!" Faced with Elder Huo's insistence, Lin Ming had no choice but to comply. So, after leaving, Lin Ming took Zi Yan and departed.

Flying high in the sky, looking at the place where he had spent several years, every scene filled Lin Ming's mind. However, the path of life is always filled with farewells and new journeys. So after putting away these emotions, Lin Ming spread his wings and flew away.

Seeing Lin Ming fly away, Zi Yan reluctantly followed Lin Ming, soaring into the sky.

Watching the figure disappear into the horizon, Elder Huo believed that Lin Ming would embark on his legendary journey once again, just as he had at the Jia Nan Academy. And when they met again, his student would have completely surpassed him.

In the Jia Ma Empire, the Mittel Family, three elderly men were gathered together.

"Old Liu, this is the fourth year now, isn't it?" the white-haired old man sitting in the middle asked.

"Yes! It's been four years since Xiao Ming left," the elderly man, referred to as Old Liu, sitting on the left, replied.

"According to what the little guy said back then, he only stayed at the Jia Nan Academy for four years. I wonder how he is now, and when he will be able to return." The Last Place old man, who had a Medicinal Cauldron badge on his chest and was sitting on the right, also spoke up.

"That young man, he only writes letters to his girlfriend, he doesn't even bother to write to us old folks," the middle old man complained.

"Hey! Clan Leader, Xiao Ming and his girlfriend are writing letters to each other expressing their love. What are you doing interfering, old man?" Hearing the old man in the middle complaining, Grandpa Liu, who was Lin Ming's father, couldn't help but speak up for Lin Ming.

"Old Liu, you were the first to handle this letter, weren't you? And then you directed the little girl who delivered the letter to Ya Fei. Do you dare say you didn't see the contents of this letter first?" Mittel said Tengshan, revealing all the secrets in the face of Elder Liu's sudden death.

Seeing Mittel Tengshan expose his secrets, Elder Liu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. After all, it wasn't exactly honorable for an old man like him to have spied on his grandson's emails with his girlfriend. However, thinking of something, Elder Liu immediately retorted, "Wasn't it old man Toso who encouraged me? Otherwise, would I have done that?"

"You're talking nonsense! Old Liu, you're shameless enough to peep at the juniors' letters, don't try to blame me. I'm not as shameless as you." Hearing Elder Liu smear him, Master Toso immediately became indignant and started cursing.

"You still dare to say it isn't? I was guarding the Library Pavilion properly. If you hadn't sent a message saying there was a powerful Soul Fluctuation, would I have gone to investigate? If I hadn't investigated, how would I have encountered that little girl who delivered the message? So the culprit is you." Seeing Master Toso start cursing, Elder Liu couldn't help but curse as well.

"I was just trying to be helpful by reminding you. Did I tell you to read the letter? You have your own quirks, yet you blame the person who reminded you. I think you're shameless." Master Toso became even more annoyed by this and began to curse.

"I have a quirk? I'm shameless? I think it's you two old geezers who have quirks and are shameless. At least when I read it, I did it secretly by myself. Unlike you two, who sneak up and read a young girl's love letter together. So if we're talking about shamelessness and quirks, I can't even come close to some people." Elder Liu retorted angrily after Master Toso accused him of having a quirk and being shameless, revealing all their secrets.

Both Tengshan Mittel Master Toso were embarrassed when Elder Liu exposed their secrets in public.

"Alright, alright! Let's not talk about this anymore." After a long while, Tengshan Mittel finally spoke up.

"Hmph! But judging from what Lin Ming gave Ya Fei, I know he's really doing quite well at the Jia Nan Academy." Master Toso flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and sat down before speaking again.

When the letter arrived, Master Toso sensed a powerful Soul Fluctuation. He was shocked when he learned that Lin Ming was attached to it.

If the Soul Power attached to an object is this strong, then what level of Soul Power must Lin Ming possess at this moment? Master Toso certainly doesn't think he can achieve that.

Later, when they saw the gift that Ya Fei took out, they were even more shocked.

Both the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk and the Azure Blood Divine Marrow are rare treasures that are hard to come by. The Mittel tribe has never even seen these two items before, yet Lin Ming has brought them out all at once.

If Master Toso hadn't retained a shred of reason upon seeing those two items, he probably would have tried to snatch them.

Upon hearing Master Toso's words, the elderly men who had just been criticizing each other all nodded in unison, their faces showing a relieved smile.
