"Crystal Condensing Pill?"

Yuan Pan’er was momentarily stunned and only reacted after a brief pause, her expression turning to joy.

"Senior Brother, do you have a source for this Spiritual Object?"

One must know she had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Peak for nearly thirty years, and if not for lacking enough Core Formation Spiritual Objects, she would have attempted a breakthrough long ago.

After all, given her aptitude, the success probability of a direct attempt was not high,

but now, Xing Huai’an actually told her that he had a source for the Crystal Condensing Pill,

this is the finest treasure for attempting a breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage!

In the past, even with Master White Cloud harnessing the years of accumulation of White Cloud Immortal City, he only managed to refine one batch.

"Source?"

Xing Huai’an saw his senior sister’s look, smiled, and no longer kept her in suspense,

he tapped his hand on his waist, and a flash of Spirit Light appeared, transforming into an exquisite Jade Box resting in Xing Huai’an’s hand.

Watching Xing Huai’an’s actions, Yuan Pan’er felt tense inside, a bold idea arose in her heart,

"Could it be... could it be that this is..."

"Correct, the Crystal Condensing Pill you’ve always dreamed of is inside here," he said, handing the box to Yuan Pan’er.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Pan’er couldn’t believe it, slowly extending her hand to receive the exquisite Jade Box,

and then gently removed the Sealing Spirit Talisman, opening the lid,

instantly, a pure fragrance of Elixir wafted from the box, reviving the spirit.

Yuan Pan’er felt a surge at her Dantian where her Liquid Magical Power lay, seemingly ready to breakthrough,

"Indeed... it’s the Crystal Condensing Pill, an authentic Crystal Condensing Pill!"

Tears glistened in Yuan Pan’er’s eyes, and a flush of red appeared on her face, a sign of ultimate excitement.

Then, she gratefully looked at Xing Huai’an beside her:

"Thank you, Junior Brother... thank you, I will repay the cost of this Crystal Condensing Pill to you soon!"

Xing Huai’an quickly waved his hand and then spoke under Yuan Pan’er’s puzzled gaze:

"I don’t have such great ability; this Crystal Condensing Pill wasn’t prepared by me for you, but by Junior Brother Zhou Xun!"

"Junior Brother!"

Yuan Pan’er muttered a word, then recalled Zhou Xun, now serving as the Grand Elder of Tianhan City.

"That’s right, so if you want to thank someone, thank Junior Brother; he’s in Tianhan City and hasn’t forgotten you, his senior sister!" Xing Huai’an said emotionally.

Speaking of which, their acquaintance with Zhou Xun wasn’t long, yet Zhou Xun had sincere intentions towards them,

unlike those like Lv Qingyuan, who forgot their master’s last wishes upon arriving at Tianhan City.

Looking at the Crystal Condensing Pill before her and recalling Zhou Xun’s face, Yuan Pan’er’s heart was warmed,

"The master’s decision to take in Junior Brother was truly the right choice!"

She made a firm decision to guard Wangchuan Lake, the Dao Field, for Zhou Xun.

...

After Xing Huai’an handed the Crystal Condensing Pill to Yuan Pan’er,

he continued his journey to escort Song Yiqing and others to Tianhan City,

after all, among them, the highest cultivation was only Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, and with their skills, traveling through several Cultivation Countries to Tianhan City,

was quite dangerous,

especially with Song Yiqing, Zhou Xun’s close concubine, among them,

therefore Xing Huai’an decided to take another trip personally.

...

Cloud Light Mountain Range,

not even three days after Xing Huai’an’s journey began, the news of Master Wangchuan, Zhou Xun, taking over as Grand Elder of Tianhan City, reached Lin Xueying’s ears.

It was Zhou Xun himself who arranged for someone to deliver the letter.

Lin Xueying is currently in secluded cultivation at the Cloud Light Sect, and with all the resources the sect could provide, she is now at the Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment, not far from the Ninth-Layer.

Zhou Xun recounted his current situation in the letter,

reading about Zhou Xun’s triumph over Master Xingyue, at the Peak Core Formation, Lin Xueying couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride,

"The husband I chose is unmatched indeed!"

Her desire to break through to the Core Formation intensified.

After all, as the Grand Elder of Cloud Light Sect, it wasn’t safe for her to leave the Cloud Light Mountain Range before achieving Core Formation,

firstly, it was unsafe; the sect had quite a few enemies and couldn’t assign a True Pill Cultivator to protect her,

since Cloud Light Sect currently had only Master Jin Hong as a True Pill Cultivator,

secondly, she also bore the responsibilities of the Grand Elder and the Lin Family,

due to her efforts, the Lin Family had now taken root in Juntian City, becoming the foremost family in Xui Country.

"I will cultivate diligently and strive to break through soon!"

Lin Xueying secretly vowed while also writing a reply to Zhou Xun, expressing her longing.

...

Since Zhou Xun defeated Xui Country, Wang Erniu returned to Red Leaf Square and focused on cultivation.

Now, he is a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator.

Standing there, he resembled a towering, imposing sword.

On this day, while Wang Erniu was meditating in his Cave Mansion, honing his Lifebound Spirit Sword,

a Sound Transmission Talisman flew in; it was the current Lin Family Grand Elder inviting Wang Erniu for a major discussion!

As the highest combat strength of the Lin Family, Wang Erniu was of course invited to any major family matters.

Wang Erniu then collected his Spell and walked out.

Upon exiting the Cave Mansion, he encountered the current Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Anshu’s only son - Lin Zhenping.

"Greetings, Elder Jin Guang!"

Upon seeing Wang Erniu, Lin Zhenping immediately offered a grand salute.

"Patriarch is too kind!" Wang Erniu returned the salute respectfully.

He then followed Lin Zhenping to the discussion hall where all the Lin Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators were already assembled.

The leader was Lin Anshu,

the Lin Family’s original Grand Elder, Lin Yuanru, had formally passed away fourteen years ago, succeeded by Lin Anshu as Grand Elder.

"Elder Jin Guang is here!"

Beside Lin Anshu, a seat was reserved precisely for Wang Erniu’s current position.

"Uncle Lin, what has occurred?"

After sitting, Wang Erniu began to inquire,

"Hahaha, it’s wonderful news!"

Lin Anshu laughed, then spoke to Wang Erniu’s puzzled look:

"Are you aware of the news about the change in the Grand Elder of Tianhan City?"

"Of course, I am aware!"

"Do you know who the successor is?"

Wang Erniu shook his head, not understanding why Lin Anshu was talking about Tianhan City, as it seemed unrelated to him.

"It’s your sworn brother, Master Wangchuan!" Lin Anshu couldn’t restrain his excitement at this point.

After all, Zhou Xun’s other role was as the Dao Companion of his niece, Lin Xueying.

Zhou Xun now serving as Grand Elder of Tianhan City meant the Lin Family would have a chance to step out of Xui Country and head to Tianhan City, the foremost Immortal City in the Eastern Wilderness,

with Zhou Xun’s support, establishing a base there wouldn’t be difficult; thus, the Lin Family could become a major clan across the Eastern Wilderness in no time.

This was a great opportunity for the Lin Family, one they couldn’t miss!

Upon hearing this, Wang Erniu was greatly astonished, but he quickly came to terms with it and happily said:

"It turns out to be Big Brother!"

"I knew it, Big Brother was destined to become a top figure in the Eastern Wilderness, I just didn’t expect this day to come so soon!"
