The family spent some time getting close, and only then did Qi Hao and Qi Xuan go to pay their respects to their master and ancestor.

Mu Tian had a particularly strong fondness for the two, as they looked identical, and both were so outstanding.

Gu Ersheng drifted over, and Qi Wen rolled her eyes, he seemed to be everywhere.

Mu Tian and Zhu Huai’en hurriedly offered their salutations.

The couple, seeing this situation, could only do the same.

"No need for formality, I just came out to have a look."

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan had some impressions of Gu Ersheng, but they were not deep.

Gu Ersheng looked at this couple, thinking that his return home would now be much faster.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan didn’t need to consolidate their cultivation, and after reporting to their master, the family returned to Huai Sheng Peak together, without Gu Ersheng in tow.

Upon their return, the servant disciples were happy. Although they received resources monthly, it wasn’t as reassuring as having their master nearby.

Once at the peak, Tan Shaoting immediately placed the Sixth Rank Array Plate, and the family entered the space.

Inside, they completely relaxed.

"Mother, how did you and father advance your cultivation so quickly?"

"We made great progress at the Thunder Pool. This is the Body Tempering Cultivation Technique. Qi Wen, your father and I will accompany you to the Thunder Pool for body refining. It’s incredibly effective."

"Mother, we also want to go."

"Alright."

The couple had no pressing matters recently, and even if they did, the three children were more important. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Haha, I once said I wouldn’t descend from the mountain without forming a Golden Core. Now, it’s great, I’ve been wanting to go out for ages.

Mother, where are my big brother and second brother? I miss them."

The three siblings, who were born at the same time, had always been together, and it was only here that they were separated.

They had reunited during the ranking competition, so it was natural to miss them.

"Father, Mother, shall we go see my big brother and second brother? I also want to compete in the arena, since our sect doesn’t allow it," Qi Hao said with a smile.

"Alright, all of you should stabilize yourselves, and do you have enough points? We’re going out to have fun for a few years, but we can’t go into debt."

"Mother, we’ve been continuously completing tasks, don’t worry. Besides, we have rewards and points from reaching Foundation Establishment. Twenty years is no problem," the two brothers reassured her, pounding their chests with confidence.

The first thing Su Yuanyuan did was prepare the Divine Water for them, then let them put away other gains, saving the Divine Water for last.

The space was sealed, but with their mother around, they didn’t need it.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan also didn’t need to stabilize their cultivation; the next day, their parents went to the Task Hall, and the three siblings went to find their respective masters.

The couple arrived at the Task Hall, and the steward adjusted their nameplates.

Respectfully, he said to Tan Shaoting, "Great Ancestor, the Sect Master has sent a message for you to visit."

Yu Huping looked at the couple and marveled internally at their talent. Seven years away, one reached Nascent Soul, the other Golden Core.

"Under normal circumstances, forming the Golden Core or Nascent Soul requires a grand ceremony."

Tan Shaoting paid his respects, "Sect Master, I don’t desire such things; we don’t like those formalities."

Su Yuanyuan echoed the sentiment.

"Well, if neither of you wish for it, then so be it."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

"What are your plans?"

"Sect Master, we plan to take on tasks, then take our three children out for training.

During the past seven years, we tempered our bodies at the Thunder Pool in the desert. It was exceptionally effective, so we plan to take our three children there as well."

Yu Huping nodded, acknowledging it as their opportunity.

"Alright, don’t worry about being outside; you still have the Xuantian Sect behind you."

Overjoyed, the couple expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Sect Master. We’ve realized along the way how powerful our sect is, which gives us confidence when we are outside."

"As long as you understand that. Also, this is a special sect Communication Talisman for you; it can’t be intercepted. Keep it with you, and if you encounter anything that can’t be resolved, send me a message directly."

"Yes. Thank you, Sect Master."

"And here is your reward."

Each of them received a Storage Bag, likely personally given by the Sect Master. They had already collected significant advancement rewards at the Deacon Hall earlier.

They thanked the Sect Master once more before leaving.

The steward had informed Tan Shaoting earlier that they could choose a new peak, but the couple declined; they hadn’t stayed long enough at Huai Sheng Peak to consider moving.

Qi Wen found Mu Tian, "Master, look, this is the Body Tempering Technique my big brother gave me from the Thunder Pool. He himself has a Thunder Spirit Root and Thunder Attribute technique.

My parents have been body refining at the Thunder Pool for several years and want to take the three of us over as well."

Gu Ersheng drifted over for a glance, internally snarking at how that miserly person was actually generous enough to share it.

"It’s quite excellent; you should give it a try," this was said to Mu Tian.

Mu Tian took the Jade Scroll and gave it a read, "Alright, I’ll join you this time."

"Master? You’ll come with us?"

"Yes, let’s go together. I think Huai’en will come as well. Why, don’t you want us to?"

"It’s not that, but on the road, you two might as well pretend to be Golden Core cultivators. Otherwise, how can we train?"

Mu Tian laughed heartily, "Alright, I could even pretend to be just at Qi Cultivation."

It had been far too many years since he’d gone out.

Qi Wen thought that Mother would definitely not want them tagging along.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were also shocked to see their master.

"You really want to come with us?"

"The Body Tempering Technique is quite excellent, I want to give it a go as well."

"Alright then, my mother has plenty of Body Tempering Fruits, let’s refine our bodies together."

Su Yuanyuan decided to have her siblings send out the technique so that the two of them could also take a look.

Yu Huping was right; a strong Xuantian Sect provided confidence when outside.

"I’m going to see Liu Yan Yue and Xu Ying."

"Alright, I’m heading to Artifact Refining Peak to check out the uses of the demon beast’s Crystal Stone I acquired last time."

Su Yuanyuan first visited Xu Ying. She smiled when she saw the handsome young man.

"Martial Aunt, you make me feel discouraged."

"Keep working hard."

"I’ve been working hard. I finally reached Late-stage Foundation Establishment. I didn’t expect to see you again, now as my Martial Aunt. It’s truly enviable.

Liu Haorui, this is your Grandmaster."

Su Yuanyuan laughed, "But I can’t be called that; it’s still Martial Aunt for now. You’re close to forming your Golden Core."

The little guy straightforwardly called her Martial Aunt, looking at her curiously.

Liu Xiaozhu also arrived. Su Yuanyuan quickly paid her respects, "Greetings, True Monarch Wu He."

"No need for such formalities. Tan Shaoting has formed his Nascent Soul, hasn’t he?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, he’s formed his Nascent Soul."

"You all chat, I’ll go see him." She’d always wanted to compete with him, now with both being early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be a perfect chance.

Su Yuanyuan sat down, looking at the Liu Haorui, who was already at the Third Level of Qi Cultivation. She handed him ten Thunder Spirit Talismans.

"This is the highest-level Thunder Spirit Talisman I can currently draw. Be careful when you use them."
