A Pill Bestowed! The Holy Son Returns, Mount Shu Trembles!
Chen Changqing looked in the direction of the voice, but did not recognize the disciple. However, he noticed that the disciple was wearing the Outer Sect Seven Courtyards uniform.
Looking back, he was wearing the same clothes, and together with Ran Hua, he was responsible for opening and closing the mountain gate.
In the blink of an eye, he had become the Personal Disciple of the Sect Master Chen Yuan, and the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son of Mount Shu. Naturally, he had many feelings in his heart.
At this moment, the disciples of the Seven Courtyards had already jogged up to Chen Changqing.
"Senior Brother Changqing, my name is Lin Yuan!"
"Disciples of the Outer Sect Seven Courtyards."
Approaching the front, the disciple excitedly introduced himself.
Since Chen Changqing entered the Inner Sect, became the Sect Master's Personal Disciple, and passed the Heavenly Pass set up by the Seven Main Peaks, he successfully became the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son of Mount Shu.
Chen Changqing quickly gained fame in Mount Shu.
The Seventh Courtyard Outer Sect, where Chen Changqing once stayed, has become even more prominent because of Chen Changqing rise to prominence.
Everyone who enters the Outer Sect of Mount Shu considers it an honor to join the Seventh Courtyard.
After all, the Seventh Courtyard produced a Chen Changqing.
In particular, the Azure Dragon Ranking of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was recently updated, and Chen Changqing topped the Azure Dragon Ranking.
This further elevated Chen Changqing's reputation to an unprecedented level.
In the eyes of many, Chen Changqing is the most outstanding among the younger generation of Mount Shu.
He is a prodigy who commands respect Nine Provinces Continent!
"Your name is Lin Yuan?"
Chen Changqing snapped out of his daze and looked at the disciple from the Seven Courtyards.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan quickly nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"Um."
"Senior Brother Changqing, I'm responsible for guarding the gates of Mount Shu, my job is to close them."
Lin Yuan was extremely excited.
After entering the Seventh Courtyard Outer Sect, he was assigned the task of guarding the mountain gate.
In the past, this task would have been looked down upon.
But because of Chen Changqing, many people are eager to come and guard the mountain gate.
Everyone wanted to experience the path once walked by the number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking.
Perhaps we can gain some inspiration from this!
"Oh?"
Upon hearing what Lin Yuan said, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan, just like him before, was also in charge of closing the door.
Surprised, Chen Changqing casually waved his hand.
Upon closer inspection, a pill gleaming with a precious light appeared in his hand.
"This elixir is given to you; it can help you Foundation Establishment."
As he spoke, Chen Changqing handed the pill to Lin Yuan.
"Ah?"
Lin Yuan was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
His talent wasn't particularly outstanding; otherwise, he wouldn't have entered the Outer Sect of Mount Shu.
After joining the Seventh Outer Sect Seventh Courtyard, he often heard about Chen Changqing's deeds and had long regarded Chen Changqing as his idol.
For this purpose, he also spent a lot of Spirit Stones to buy a portrait of Chen Changqing.
That's why he recognized Chen Changqing at a glance when Chen Changqing landed outside the mountain gate.
What deeply shocked Lin Yuan was...
On their first meeting, Chen Changqing gave him a pill that would allow him to Foundation Establishment.
"Senior Brother Changqing, this..."
Lin Yuan was so excited that he almost blurted out his words.
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:
"Junior Brother Lin."
"I also graduated from the Seventh Courtyard Outer Sect."
"Cultivate diligently. If you are able to join the Inner Sect in the future, you can find me at the Inner Sect Evergreen Peak."
After saying this, Chen Changqing didn't wait for Lin Yuan to say anything more. He transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Inner Sect.
Lin Yuan stood frozen in place, staring intently at Chen Changqing's departing figure.
After a long while, he finally looked away and shakily put away the pill that Chen Changqing had given him.
"Senior Brother Changqing, I will definitely work hard."
"Strive to join the Inner Sect as soon as possible!"
Lin Yuan said with a determined look.
Soon, news of Chen Changqing's return spread throughout Mount Shu.
In an instant, Mount Shu was shaken.
Have you heard?
"The Holy Son Changqing has returned!"
"Really?"
"Number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking!"
"I had a prejudice against him before. All he did was sunbathe, sleep, and walk the dog all day—it was all an act!"
"Quickly! Prepare the gifts immediately, and come with me to Evergreen Peak!"
"..."
Soon, many inner disciples headed towards Evergreen Peak carrying generous gifts.
After all, this was a great opportunity to get to know Chen Changqing.
At this juncture
Cloud Perch Peak, Half-Mountain Cottage.
Liu Ruyan, dressed in white, was playing the zither. The music was melodious, yet it carried a hint of melancholy and longing.
Just then, an old woman surnamed Ye hurried over.
"Miss, Chen Changqing has returned to the mountain gate."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's zither music abruptly stopped, and she fell into a brief daze.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up as she murmured softly:
"Finally... are you back?"
As she said this, tears welled up in Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes.
Back then, when she learned that Chen Changqing had not come out of the Universe Secret Realm, she was extremely worried and anxious about Chen Changqing every day.
Not long ago, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion updated the Azure Dragon Ranking, and upon learning that Chen Changqing had become the Azure Dragon Ranking, she felt somewhat relieved.
Now that Chen Changqing has returned to Mount Shu, Liu Ruyan is naturally overjoyed.
The location of Evergreen Peak.
Ran Hua, Wang Yang, Shi Tian, Qingyang, and Elder Liu Mu were all excited upon learning that Chen Changqing had returned to Mount Shu.
"The Holy Son has returned!"
"Very good."
"I knew it! The Holy Son would never be trapped in the mere Universe Secret Realm!"
"Our Holy Son's trip has caused quite a stir throughout the entire Nine Provinces Continent!"
"Number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking! Tsk tsk, I wouldn't even dare to dream of it!"
"..."
Ran Hua and the others were all amazed.
They were originally cultivating in various places within the Inner Sect, but after Chen Changqing passed through the Seven Peaks Heavenly Pass and became the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son of Mount Shu, they obtained Evergreen Peak as a place for cultivation.
After that, Chen Changqing recruited Wang Yang and others to his cause.
Elder Liu Mu, who was their guide in the Outer Sect, was also among them.
"That initial investment was definitely the right one!"
"The Holy Son's talent and aptitude are probably unmatched throughout the entire Nine Provinces Continent!"
Liu Mu sighed inwardly, thinking that investing in Chen Changqing in the Outer Sect might have been the most correct thing he had ever done in his life.
Just as everyone in Mount Shu was shocked by Chen Changqing's return.
He transformed into a streak of light and descended outside the main hall of Seven Stars Peak.
Chen Changqing stepped into the hall.
He was the Personal Disciple of the Sect Master Chen Yuan, and upon his return, his first priority was naturally to pay his respects to Chen Yuan and explain some things.
Upon entering the hall, two people can be seen.
Chen Changqing recognized one of them; who else could it be but his master Chen Yuan?
The other person is much younger.
This person was dressed in white, carried a long sword on his back, had a cold and stern face, and exuded a sharp Sword Intent.
In addition, his cultivation level had already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
The aura was so strong that even Chen Changqing felt a sense of pressure.
"Master!"
Upon approaching, Chen Changqing bowed deeply to Chen Yuan.
