The willow trees and smoke today informed Zuo Tianya, who is expected to come to the Mayor's Mansion to inspect the animal pens at Immortal Gate.

Zuo Tianya tied up Wu Dian and the other two, dragging them deep into the cave and sitting on top of Wu Dian.

"You mean, there are three more cultivators from Immortal Gate in town?"

"Yes, I think my adoptive father has not fully recovered yet and needs good supplements. I tried to send a sound transmission talisman to report, but it didn't work, so I came here to report in person."

"Sound transmission talisman? That thing is no longer useful. I have a Spirit Treasure that can render talismans ineffective. The entire mountain is within the range of this Spirit Treasure."

A dark look appeared in Zuo Tianya's eyes.

With the three people he just captured, he still had three Qi Refining Stage cultivators and one Foundation Building early-stage cultivator.

If he could capture the three cultivators mentioned by Yan Liu, devour their Dantian, he would be able to fully recover.

If he had two Foundation Building Stage cultivators, he might even be able to advance to the Gold Core stage.

Truly a stroke of luck.

Once he fully recovered, he would no longer need to rush. He would have plenty of time.

He would wait for the residents of Azure Rock Town to cultivate for a while longer, allowing the spiritual energy in their bodies to become denser. Then he could absorb all their spiritual energy in one breath using the altar in the cave, solidifying his cultivation.

Zuo Tianya revealed a sinister smile. "It seems I'm about to return to the peak."

"By 'the same fate as the person in the cave,' you mean those three people you mentioned will also become my food."

"I will help capture the cultivators in town, but I have a request. There is a disciple from Immortal Gate named Meng Qing. My adoptive father might give him to me."

Yan Liu was just a tool in Zuo Tianya's eyes. What did it matter if he agreed to her request? He wouldn't give her anything in the end.

"A good daughter's request, of course I will fulfill it."

"Thank you, adoptive father."

"How is that old man from the Zhuang family?"

"Zhuang Daoguang? As my adoptive father instructed, I've been poisoning his food every day. Now he can't even get out of bed, and he'll be dead in half a month at most."

Zuo Tianya nodded in satisfaction. Making Zhuang Daoguang accompany him in death was the final wish of the body he possessed.

He didn't break his promise.

Yan Liu continued, "When should we take action?"

"Silly girl, do you really think these people from Immortal Gate came to help repair the animal pens? They are here to find the fellow disciples we captured before. We don't need to take the initiative. We'll just wait for them to fall into our trap."

Zuo Tianya tapped Wu Dian under him. "Just like these three."

In the inn, Lu Chuan, who had finished the discussion meeting, lay on the bed.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the dim room.

Lu Chuan checked and saw that the instant transmission stone was glowing.

The palm-sized jade stone, which had been blank, now had a line of elegant words: Young Master, have you arrived in Azure Rock Town?

It was written by Lu Qianqiu.

Lu Chuan held the instant transmission stone in his hand and thought, "I've arrived. What's wrong with Sister Qiu?"

In Shengle City, Lu Qianqiu stared at the instant transmission stone, filled with excitement when she saw a response.

She had sent a message just to give it a try, but she didn't expect Lu Chuan to reply.

After reconciling with Young Master, if she didn't see him for half a day, her longing for him would become overwhelming. During the day, while working at the Chamber of Commerce, Lu Chuan's face would always appear in her mind. In the restless nights, she couldn't sleep, feeling anxious.

The text on the instant transmission stone changed.

Lu Qianqiu: It's nothing. What are you doing now, Young Master?

Lu Chuan: What can I do at this hour? I'm in bed, getting ready to sleep.

Lu Qianqiu: Young Master, guess what I'm doing.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chuan realized that Lu Qianqiu is now the boss of Qianqiu Trading Company. Even though it's nighttime, she might still be busy with work at the company.

Lu Chuan: You're working overtime. Go to bed early and don't tire yourself out.

Seeing Lu Chuan's concern, Lu Qianqiu felt a warm feeling in her heart. Her lips couldn't help but curl up, and she didn't let go of the stone in her hand.

Lu Qianqiu: Young Master, my Lu Chuan Young Master, your hands are big, your lips are soft, hahaha, Young Master...

From Lu Chuan's perspective, the text on the stone quickly changed, flashing a series of incomprehensible words.

Lu Qianqiu: I'm thinking of you. Can you talk to me?

Images of Lu Qianqiu acting cute appeared in Lu Chuan's mind, and he felt like the wounds inflicted by the bad woman during the day were healed.

Lu Chuan: Sure, what do you want to talk about?

Lu Qianqiu: Let's talk about what we should do when we meet next time.

Want to go to a convention, want to go flower viewing, want Lu Chuan to take her on a sword flight, want to go to a hot spring together and give each other back rubs...

Both of them lay in bed, hundreds of miles apart, but they could understand each other's thoughts as if they were sleeping next to each other.

Lu Qianqiu spent over ten thousand Spirit Stones on the stone, and she felt that the money was well worth it.

As she thought about it, Lu Qianqiu smelled the fragrance of Lu Chuan on the bed and fell asleep.

Seeing no response from the stone, Lu Chuan guessed that Lu Qianqiu had fallen asleep and smiled faintly.

Using this thing to chat reminded Lu Chuan of the days when he stayed up late chatting with others on Blue Star. The world of cultivation is truly wonderful.

The two elders of Wangxiang Immortal Gate also couldn't sleep at night.

These past few days, Lin Qingxue couldn't concentrate on her cultivation and felt like something was missing by her side.

Having lived alone for nearly a hundred years, she thought she had gotten used to loneliness. But when Lu Chuan left the sect to complete a mission and closed himself off to write "Changqing Jue," she felt a sense of loss after only two days.

She had already gotten used to having Lu Chuan by her side. As long as Lu Chuan was on the mountain, he would often come to find her for a spar. Even if he didn't talk to her, just seeing him from a distance made her feel happy.

She wanted to go find Lu Chuan, that's what she deeply desired.

But she couldn't disturb him while he was in seclusion. He was in seclusion to write "Changqing Jue" as a gift to Wangxiang Immortal Gate. It wasn't something a senior elder of Wangxiang Immortal Gate should do to disturb him.

On another mountain, Elder Wang Song was also troubled by this matter.

He wanted to go see how far Lu Chuan had written "Changqing Jue" and supervise him, but he didn't dare to go.

Yesterday, when he wanted to go to the Peak Master's Peak to urge Lu Chuan, he unexpectedly ran into Lin Qingxue on the way.

When he explained what he wanted to do to Lin Qingxue, she immediately drew her sword and wanted to spar with him.

Wang Song was not a sword cultivator, how could he possibly win against Lin Qingxue, who was known as the Sword Immortal?

Not only was he humiliated, but he was also given a request.

"Elder Wang, if I win the spar, I hope you agree to a request. Lu Chuan is currently in seclusion writing 'Changqing Jue,' and it's a critical moment. I hope you won't disturb him."

Lin Qingxue still had her sword in hand, and Wang Song didn't dare to say no.

"I understand, Junior Sister, please put away your sword. I won't go urge Lu Chuan anymore. Let's talk things out, let's talk things out."

Recalling the painful memory from yesterday, Wang Song felt suffocated.

Lying in bed, Wang Song shouted, "Lu Chuan, how much longer are you going to stay in seclusion!"

Then, a voice came from the next room, "Don't make noise in the middle of the night!"

Wang Yueyan, Wang Song's beloved daughter, Wang Song thought he had disturbed her rest and whispered, "Yanyan, I'm sorry."

At this moment, Wang Song felt like his position in Wangxiang Immortal Gate was too low. He was bullied by his junior sister outside and by his daughter at home.

But he was the Senior Elder, shouldn't he be someone who stands above all others?

No, tomorrow he would go find Nangong Xi to vent his frustrations.
