Reunion with Master, Family Affection Shifted

Let's go.

After Queen Medusa and the other two came to their senses, Wang Chen invited them to enter the inner Inner Academy together.

Wang Chen held Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, Queen Medusa carried Qing Lin.

Led by Wang Chen, they headed towards an area within the Inner Academy.

The area Wang Chen was advancing into was the very place where he had left behind the Kunlun Sect's Headquarters.

He also wanted to see how the power he had left behind had changed.

Before long, Wang Chen and his group arrived at the Kunlun Sect's Headquarters.

At this time, the Kunlun Sect had already become the most powerful force in the Inner Academy.

Not only has the area of Headquarters expanded considerably, but the number of personnel has also increased significantly.

"Who are you? What brings you to the Kunlun Sect?"

As soon as Wang Chen reached the gate of the Kunlun Sect, the two gatekeepers asked him questions.

While not exactly polite, they weren't arrogant either.

The gatekeepers were all experts at the Da Dou Shi level, which shows that the Kunlun Sect has grown considerably since Wang Chen left.

These two Kunlun Sect after Wang Chen left, so it's normal that they didn't recognize Wang Chen immediately.

"No... it's the former sect leader."

However, the other doorman, who didn't speak, felt that Wang Chen looked very familiar.

After a moment's careful thought, he immediately matched Wang Chen's appearance with the portrait inside the Kunlun Sect.

"What?!"

Hearing his companion's exclamation, the doorman who had spoken first also exclaimed in surprise.

"The old sect leader?"

"It really is the old sect leader!"

After looking at him carefully for a few moments, the two doormen finally recognized Wang Chen.

When Wang Chen left Jia Nan Academy, he relinquished his power.

After all, he was going to travel outside and didn't know when he would be able to return, so it was impossible for him to continue to hold the power of the Kunlun Sect.

However, when Wang Chen left, there was no suitable successor.

My Man Hu, is very experienced in handling miscellaneous tasks, but his actual strength is insufficient to handle large-scale situations.

It didn't matter when Wang Chen was around.

However, once Wang Chen leaves, Man Hu will inevitably be unable to control those arrogant and fierce soldiers.

As for the others who have some strength, they lack the ability to develop further.

Therefore, when he left, Wang Chen only asked them to cooperate in the operation.

As for who will become the new sect leader, that depends on their own abilities.

If one can gain the approval of the vast majority of people, then one can assume the position of the new sect leader.

"It seems that during the years I was away, the Kunlun Sect has produced someone who can be recognized by most of its members."

Hearing what the two gatekeepers said, Wang Chen thought to himself.

"Who is the current sect leader?"

Upon hearing Wang Chen's question, the two gatekeepers eagerly answered.

"Reporting to the former sect leader, the new sect leader is now the Man Hu Leader."

Wang Chen was slightly surprised to hear that Man Hu had taken over as sect leader.

However, upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that Man Hu is indeed the most likely candidate to take over the position.

After all, there were already quite a few capable members when Wang Chen left.

To completely subdue most of the members, one must be significantly stronger.

However, this is highly unlikely.

After all, everyone is a member of the Kunlun Sect and enjoys the same resources, so they are basically all in the same boat.

To stand out from the crowd, one must be exceptionally talented.

There are absolutely no such people in the Kunlun Sect.

Most of the members have decent talent, but only moderately.

Even if there are some with greater talent, there is more than one person.

This makes it impossible to completely control the other members.

On the contrary, people like Man Hu, who are good at handling miscellaneous matters and developing the sect's influence, are more likely to gain the approval of other members.

After all, the difference in strength is not significant, and it would be too difficult to make someone else submit to another.

However, some people can excel in a certain area, even if it's not in terms of ability, and they are more likely to gain recognition.

"By the way, is Man Hu currently with the Kunlun Sect?"

"Yes, yes."

"Elder Master, please."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's question, the two gatekeepers immediately stepped forward to lead the way, guiding Wang Chen towards the location of the current sect leader, Man Hu.

Let's go.

Wang Chen gave a shout and then set off together.

Although the Kunlun Sect has expanded considerably, it didn't take Wang Chen long before he arrived at Man Hu's study, guided by the gatekeeper.

Along the way, Wang Chen did not see any familiar faces.

But thinking about it, it makes sense, after all, Wang Chen has been gone for several years.

Those who Kunlun Sect back then were generally quite talented.

Now that resources are available again, they're probably all diligently cultivating their skills.

Unless something major happens to the Kunlun Sect, it's quite normal for them not to be at the Kunlun Sect's headquarters.

"Boss!!!"

As soon as Wang Chen pushed open the door and entered, Man Hu sensed it.

He was initially quite averse to it.

After all, they just pushed the door open and came in without saying hello.

As the sect leader of the most powerful force in the Inner Academy Jia Nan Academy, he still needs to maintain some dignity.

But upon seeing who it was, that little bit of anger vanished instantly.

Man Hu immediately stood up and ran towards Wang Chen.

He exclaimed in delight.

"Not bad, not bad. You've really done a remarkable job to develop the Kunlun Sect to this point."

Wang Chen patted the Man Hu and praised it.

With Wang Chen in charge back then, it's understandable that the Kunlun Sect was able to develop rapidly and gain a foothold in the Inner Academy.

After all, Wang Chen's strength is practically cheat code level among the Inner Academy students.

However, the fact that Man Hu was able to develop rapidly after I left shows his true ability.

"But the eldest brother taught well."

In addition, you left such a good foundation for the Kunlun Sect when you left.

It's only natural that I was able to develop and thrive."

Hearing the praise from his boss Wang Chen, Man Hu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Chen got down to business.

"By the way, is my master still in the same position?"

"Arrange a few rooms for them to rest."

Besides wanting to see the development of the Kunlun Sect, he also needed a few rooms to rest.

After all, he had already left the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, and had even returned the Fire Energy Card back then.

There's no way to make purchases inside this Inner Academy.

Of course, elixirs will also work.

That would be too much trouble.

"Yes, boss."

Medicine Elder did not change his resting Headquarters.

"I'll arrange it right away."

After answering Wang Chen's question, Man Hu immediately instructed his men to arrange the best room.

"You three go and rest for a while. I need to go see my master."

Tomorrow, I'll take you to give them a formal visit.

After all, Medicine Elder was his most respected master, so it didn't matter if he was alone.

However, with Queen Medusa and the other two present, we still need to be a bit more cautious.

After all, this was their first meeting, and if they launched a surprise attack, Medicine Elder would be completely unprepared.

Medicine Elder himself would feel embarrassed if he couldn't offer a suitable gift.

As the disciple who respected Medicine Elder the most, Wang Chen naturally wouldn't let his master lose face.

"Um."

"OK."

None of the three, including Queen Medusa, refused Wang Chen's arrangement.

After settling Queen Medusa and the other two, Wang Chen quickly left the Kunlun Sect's headquarters and headed towards Elder Zhuoyao's location.

Arriving outside Medicine Elder's Headquarters, Wang Chen was filled with emotion.

He knew this place all too well.

Back when he was still at the Jia Nan Academy, he visited quite often.

I can't believe it's been several years since I last came here.

"Knock knock knock."

Wang Chen was quite respectful of the rules when it came to his master.

Instead of pushing the door open, he went up and knocked.

"Come in."

A response came directly from inside the study.

Having received a response, Wang Chen then pushed open the door and went inside.

"Master, it's been a long time."

Medicine Elder, who had been looking at various alchemy manuals, suddenly looked up.

"Xiao Chen, you're back."

Medicine Elder was very excited, and opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything, finally managing to utter a greeting.

"Master, I'm back."

How are you feeling?

Although he knew that for a cultivator above the Dou Emperor level, a few years was nothing and there was absolutely no way anything would go wrong.

But Wang Chen still asked the same question.

Wang Chen's gratitude towards Medicine Elder, who had wholeheartedly helped him, was genuine.

"Okay, all is well."

After calming down, Medicine Elder also started talking with Wang Chen.

Wang Chen was mainly speaking, Medicine Elder was listening.

Wang Chen omitted some details that couldn't be mentioned before recounting his experiences one by one.

Hearing about Wang Chen's wonderful travels, Medicine Elder was also extremely excited.

In the past few years at the Jia Nan Academy, he has mainly focused on researching alchemy.

As one of only two Sixth-Grade Alchemists at the Jia Nan Academy, he is generally not needed to take action.

Aside from initially helping to refine some pills, after Fire Elder also successfully broke through, he turned to theoretical research.

Aside from occasionally refining and researching for himself, he rarely helps the members of the Jia Nan Academy refine pills anymore.

After all, when Wang Chen left, he had already refined all the pills needed by the higher-ups of the Jia Nan Academy.

Only a few years have passed, so it's impossible for them to have collected too many medicinal herbs.

"Hiss!!!"

After listening to Wang Chen's account of his travels, especially the last part of his journey, even the experienced Medicine Elder couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Because Wang Chen's last period was truly miraculous.

Not only did they encounter a user of the Woeful Poison Body, who had awakened and was renowned throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, but they also encountered a user who possessed it.

They also unexpectedly obtained a special technique to resolve the Woeful Poison Body.

Then they encountered a nearly legendary Awakener of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and also obtained development data about the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

Not to mention that she had already established a good relationship with Queen Medusa of the Snake People Tribe, and Queen Medusa had even awakened the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.

They also encountered a relative who had awakened a special talent.

Encountering even one of these is considered incredibly miraculous.

Wang Chen encountered all of these things at once, how could Medicine Elder not be shocked?

"Good, good! You've grown up now, and I'm very pleased with you."

Remember to bring them all over tomorrow; I'll go and get them ready now.

After Wang Chen finished recounting his travels and the story of Queen Medusa and the other two, Medicine Elder was very excited.

He didn't even want to chat anymore and told Wang Chen to go back, as he needed to prepare a gift for their meeting.

After all, this was his most prized disciple, Wang Chen, bringing a girl to see him for the first time.

And it was three at once.

He naturally wanted to prepare properly to avoid losing face.

Fortunately, he was also a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, and one who had Alchemist for many years.

He also possessed some accumulated treasures.

However, since it was his first time, he still needed to choose carefully.

Seeing Medicine Elder's excitement, Wang Chen was speechless for a moment.

I used to be his favorite disciple, but now I'm just relegated to the sidelines.

I don't even want to talk to anyone anymore.

Okay, I understand.

"By the way, Master, Great Elder still in the Inner Academy?"

Hearing his master's arrangement, Wang Chen had no choice but to agree.

He then asked a question.

After all, he had been away from the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy for several years and had only just returned, so he was not very clear about the affairs of the Inner Academy.

The only thing I can do is ask my master.

Of course, with his powerful perception, it wasn't impossible for him to find out the location of the Great Elder.

But since we're all family, it's really impolite to do this.

Since his master already knew the situation, Wang Chen didn't need to go through all that trouble.

"Su Qian?"

You're quite lucky; he recently went out and just got back.

Just go find him directly; you know where he is.

Having answered Wang Chen's question, Medicine Elder waved his hand, indicating that Wang Chen could leave.

He has important things to do.

Seeing Medicine Elder's expression, Wang Chen didn't say anything more and left directly.

"By the way, what time are you bringing your people over tomorrow?"

Just as Wang Chen stepped out of the study, Medicine Elder suddenly called out.

"Eight o'clock, I guess."

"Good."

Having received a reply, Medicine Elder resumed his own work, completely ignoring Wang Chen.

"Sure enough, once he has his apprentice's wife, he no longer cares about his apprentice."

These elders are all the same.

With a sigh in his heart, Wang Chen shook his head, closed the study door, and left.

Wang Chen also knew about Great Elder Su Qian's office.

After all, it wasn't his first time there.

It's practically second nature to them.

Without wasting any time, he immediately rushed to Great Elder Su Qian's office.

After breaking through to the Dou Zong, traveling has indeed become much more convenient.

No need for Battle Qi Wings; one can fly directly through the void.

Of course, most Dou Zong, for the sake of prestige, would walk forward by stepping through the void.

However, Wang Chen had no intention of showing off at this moment, and simply flew over quickly.

After all, there's hardly anyone here, so even if you're showing off, nobody's watching.
