They had stayed in the Secret Palace for nearly a year, so they definitely had to explain the reason for not returning to the mountain after such a long time.

Fortunately, this kind of thing was very common. It would be fine to just report it.

After reporting, Yan Qingyang took her leave and quickly returned to her room. She remembered storing the treasures.

According to the time they had been here for a year, they would soon be arriving. They didn't know whether or not the treasure had entered their bodies. The treasure was their first friend since Yan Qingyang had come to the sect in this life, and she had helped him many times before.

As soon as Yan Qingyang entered, he saw Lu Yan arrogantly exiting the room. When he saw Yan Qingyang, Lu Yan's eyes widened and he cried out, "Alright, Yan Qingyang, you've been hiding here for such a long time? I've already been Qi Disciple level 2 for several days, I've been coming to see you everyday! I finally caught him today! Hmph, trash, quickly lie down and bark like a puppy! "

Yan Qingyang smiled as he looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan flew into a rage, "What? You want to go back on your word?"

"No, how could I go back on my word? However, you should take a good look at who the two of us are, and see who it is that should lie down on the ground and learn from the puppies! " Yan Qingyang stood there unmoving as he spoke with a smile.

Lu Yan flew into a rage, "You're still being stubborn even now! "With your trashy talent, how could you reach Qi Disciple level 2, you …"

Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide and glared at Yan Qingyang. He said in disbelief, "You …" You're at the 3rd Stage of Qi Cultivating Stage? "

"Indeed!" Yan Qingyang laughed coldly. "That's good. This will save me the trouble of finding you. Now, get on the ground!"

Lu Yan's face was flushed red as he pointed at Yan Qingyang and yelled, "How is this possible? "How is this possible?" Lu Yan was forced to retreat.

Yan Qingyang laughed coldly and blocked the door. "What, you want to run?"

Lu Yan's face was flushed red. He bit his lips and suddenly shouted, "No, I don't believe it! You must have used some kind of demonic magic, and it shows that you are at Qi Disciple level 3, but in reality, you are still at Qi Disciple level 1! "

"Oh? "Then why don't we fight a bit? Then we'll know whether or not I'm really at the 3rd stage of the Qi Cultivating Stage!" Yan Qingyang said gloomily.

"So what if I hit you?" Lu Yan was naturally unconvinced. He pulled out his long sword with a swoosh. She had used a long sword that had been uniformly released by her sect. It was a mid-grade magic tool.

Yan Qingyang also drew his dagger. In terms of quality, it was lower than Lu Yan's. It was just a low-grade magic tool.

When Lu Yan saw this, he felt a bit more confident. With a flick of his sword, he charged over.

Yan Qingyang dodged and slid past him like a fish. He quickly arrived in front of Lu Yan and raised the short sword in his hand, hanging it at Lu Yan's throat.

"You …" Lu Yan was scared stiff.

"How is it, did you submit?" Yan Qingyang's dagger drew another two points closer and left a bloody wound on Lu Yan's neck.

"Are you really at the 3rd stage?" "Fine, I lost. Let go of the sword, I admit my defeat!" Lu Yan bit his lips and said.

Yan Qingyang moved away as soon as he retreated, putting his short sword back in its sheath as he looked at Lu Yan with a smile.

Lu Yan bit his lips. He quickly looked around and quickly laid down. He shouted, "Woof, woof!" and quickly got up. This process took less than a breath of time.

She raised her head and saw Jin Rong, Bao Jin and Lu Yun standing at the entrance. The three of them were staring at her with their mouths agape.

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then his face and neck flushed red. He looked at the three of them, then suddenly burst into tears. He used his sleeve to cover his face, lowered his head, and rushed out.

The three of them were stunned for a long time. Then, Protecting Treasures, they rushed over to Yan Qingyang and hugged her. They cried out of joy, "Qingyang, you're back. I knew you'd be back!"

Lu Yun was stunned by the scene just now. When she came back to her senses and looked at Qingyang's cultivation, her face changed and she quietly brought Jin Rong back to the room.

Yan Qingyang and Sangzhen chatted for a while and only briefly passed by the matter of the secret manor.

She had already absorbed Qi into her body a month ago, but she couldn't reach Qi Disciple level 1 after five days. She was worried too.

"Qingyang, if I was driven out of the Cloudflower Sect, I wouldn't be able to eat so many spirit fruits. What a pity!" She said with regret.

"So the reason why the Cloud Flower Sect attracts you is because of these Spirit Fruits with sparse Spiritual Qi?" Yan Qingyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"That's right!" Although there is only a thin amount of spirit energy, these spirit fruits are still much more delicious than the fruits in the mortal world. " She took out two spirit fruits from her sleeve, passed one to Yan Qingyang and the other started to chew.

"Ai, actually, I'm not interested in cultivating. It's just that my family couldn't support me. Luckily, I had spiritual roots, so they quickly sent me away." As she gnawed on the spirit fruit, she said half-heartedly.

"Un, I remember that you were very fat when I first met you. It seems that your family really can't support you!" Yan Qingyang couldn't help but laugh.

Only when there was only a bare core left, did she casually throw it under a tree in the courtyard. She said with a tinge of sadness, "Didn't you notice that I've lost weight? Fortunately, I am a servant in the kitchen and can eat a little. If I were in any other place, I would have starved to death.

The two of them laughed for a while before Yan Qingyang took out a bottle of high-grade Spiritfount Pill and two bottles of low-grade Spiritfount Pill from his storage bag. He passed them over to the treasured treasure, "Don't go to the kitchen these days, I'll help you break through to Qi Disciple level 1 in a few days. Otherwise, you won't have any spirit fruits to eat!"

When she saw the Spiritfount Pill, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she giggled as she received it, saying rudely, "Alright. For those Spirit Fruits, I'll stake it all!"

For the next five days, Yan Qingyang went to the kitchen to take over the job. When Murong Yan returned to the mountain, he immediately went into seclusion. There was no need for Yan Qingyang to return to the artifact forging room.

When he went to the kitchen, Yan Qingyang found some time to go to the marketplace and sell his things. He also obtained some spirit stones.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. The storage treasure had successfully reached Qi Disciple level 1 and was left behind. Lu Yun and Jin Rong had reached Qi Disciple level 1 and stayed behind as well.

Yan Qingyang heaved a sigh of relief as he kept the treasure. He had just heard that Murong Yan had come out of seclusion. Yan Qingyang had arrived at the Artifact Forging Hall after almost a year.

She walked to the entrance of the great hall and saw a girl dressed in green hastily walking to the bamboo forest at the side. The back of the woman looked somewhat familiar. Before they entered the bamboo forest, the female cultivator turned around to take a glance, just in time to see Yan Qingyang's face.

The female cultivator had a gentle and beautiful face, but her expression was very haggard, with a hint of melancholy. Yan Qingyang was stunned. This person was indeed Ruan Jiang, his senior sister in his past life, the direct disciple of Daoist Master Chi Dan.

"What happened to Senior sister Ruan? Why is she here again? " Yan Qingyang was privately puzzled as his brow furrowed, and he stealthily followed Jiang Chen.
