One month later.
Bzzz—
The earth of Drifting Light Peak gave a soft hum. Fallen leaves from thousands of Crane Spirit Trees drifted through the air, filling the sky. This was the intent of the Mountain-Splitting Axe!
In the clearing.
Chen Xun wore the black landscape-patterned robes he had sewn himself. This outfit still made him feel more at ease. He slowly lowered his axe, satisfaction glinting in his eyes. It seemed his artifact-refining skills had not deteriorated.
Swish, swish—
In an instant, numerous bare Crane Spirit Trees appeared across the mountain, swaying in the wind. An exquisitely awkward air filled the forest.
At that moment, Chen Xun still held a detailed tome on spiritual medicines between heaven and earth in his left hand. Over the past month, he had familiarized himself with nearly all the ordinary spiritual medicines of the Three Thousand Great Worlds in this era.
The Fushi Sect's foundations were indeed profound. He could now learn of the affairs of the world without ever leaving his home.
Just as Chen Xun carried the Mountain-Splitting Axe toward those bare Crane Spirit Trees, an opening abruptly appeared in the peak-protecting formation. A little girl with a long braid charged in noisily.
"Sixth Senior Brother! Sixth Senior Brother!!"
"Hm?!"
Chen Xun turned around in surprise. "Qingfu, how do you have the restriction token for my cave abode? Why have you come to your senior brother's training ground?"
Qingfu ran over with a mischievous grin. "I came to play with Senior Brother. All the senior brothers and sisters of our lineage have restriction tokens. Sixth Senior Brother, why are you so shy now?"
"A young lady should know her bounds." Chen Xun frowned slightly, his tone becoming sterner. "I am in seclusion. Go play with your other senior brothers and sisters."
