Ten days later, Xu Yan returned, bringing with him a Jade Ruyi, as well as several jade ornaments.
"Good, good, my disciple truly grasps my heart."
Li Xuan was overjoyed.
This disciple was truly outstanding!
Look at the jade, it's worth a small fortune!
Such beauty!
As for the fierce beasts in the Evil Spirit Forest, since Xu Yan had returned, that naturally meant the issue had been resolved, so Li Xuan did not inquire further.
However, there seemed to be something different about Xu Yan this time he returned.
Exactly what was different, Li Xuan couldn't pinpoint, but he felt a moment of puzzlement and didn't think much of it afterward.
After Xu Yan returned, he resumed his usual cultivation rhythm, but this time, he began Viscera Refinement.
"The viscera are fragile; as Viscera Refinement begins, one must be cautious and patient, never rushing, else it's easy to harm oneself."
