Cultivation: From Menial Servant to Immortal Venerable

'During the previous war between humans and demons, Perfected Lord Yuan Gu unleashed several Gu insects and slew three Demon Emperors. His strength was utterly terrifying—he was absolutely among the very best beneath the great cultivators!'

"So it was him. Many thanks for informing me, Dao Brother!" Zhou Xun said with cupped hands.

"You're too courteous. Should I receive any news of other restriction-breaking treasures in the future, I'll send you a message!"

With both matters settled, Zhou Xun did not linger. He left directly and headed toward his cave abode.

As soon as he neared his own cave abode, he saw Jiang Wanning and the Crimson Noon Spirit Turtle standing at the entrance to welcome him.

"How did you know I had returned?"

"Perfected Xuan Yu, who guards the city gate, is a friend of mine. I previously asked him to keep an eye out for news of you, Young Master,"

"Once he saw that you had returned, he would send me a message so I could come out and welcome you!"

"You two have been thoughtful."

Zhou Xun nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the Wind-Guiding Butterfly on her shoulder.

The Wind-Guiding Butterfly had grown a little larger, and faint purple patterns had appeared across its wings, making it look exceptionally mystical.

"Has the Wind-Guiding Butterfly advanced?"

"Young Master guessed correctly. Two months ago, the Wind-Guiding Butterfly suddenly spun a cocoon. When it emerged, it had become what it is now!" Jiang Wanning answered.

"Not bad. Its progress is somewhat faster than I expected. At the third-tier stage, the Wind-Guiding Butterfly must undergo five metamorphoses before it can lay the foundation for advancing into a Nether Illusion Butterfly."

"You've worked hard during this time."

Zhou Xun comforted her.

"To serve Young Master, Wanning feels nothing but contentment!"
