When Lin Ran returned to Xuanyin Peak, it was already dusk.
The setting sun gradually lowered, and a thin fog spread among the mountains.
Every time at this hour, Lin Ran always felt as if he had the illusion of returning home after finishing a round of social obligations.
The Green Sword hung in the air, his Taoist robe floating lightly with the breeze at the peak.
No sooner had he landed
than Lin Ran noticed something was amiss.
The wooden hut that was older than him had not collapsed, the crooked tree he planted as a child had not had its leaves straightened, and the girls were the same as before.
Two of them were brandishing hoes, digging the ground with grunts and pants.
One was in front of the stove, starting a fire to cook.
And one, with a drained and listless appearance as if squeezed dry to the last drop, lay on Lin Ran’s armchair, devoid of any desire to live.
Even the entire scene had turned a shade of gray-white.
But... the spiritual energy around was more than ten times denser than before!!
With every breath, he could feel a stream of pure spiritual energy flowing within his body.
It was like...
a ten-year smoker, after holding off for an hour, encountered the déjà vu of frw.
Inhaling deeply!
The girl who had been ’huffing and puffing’ with the hoe seemed to sense something; the antennae-like tuft of hair on her head straightened out and promptly located Lin Ran.
"Big Senior Brother, you’re back!"
Miao Xianyun dropped her hoe and raced into Lin Ran’s embrace in a puff of smoke.
Charging with the ball.
The two shockwaves were squeezed flat, and the girl, fresh from farmwork, carried a unique fragrance. Lin Ran immediately lifted his "head" in salute to show his respect.
Rubbing the tuft of hair on Miao Xianyun’s head, Lin Ran asked out of curiosity,
"What are you all doing?"
"Because, because we have to eat, you know, so we thought why don’t we cultivate our own spiritual field on Xuanyin Peak."
With her tuft of hair being toyed with by the Big Senior Brother, Miao Xianyun felt her whole body go limp and weak.
"I see, that’s good, very good."
Everything was fine with their own Xuanyin Peak, except that it was too desolate.
The land was vast but sparsely populated, and it lacked all kinds of facilities... not even one.
Now that there were more people, it was worth considering developing other industries.
A balance of work and leisure, after all...
"Senior Brother, that’s great."
"Mhm."
"Senior Brother, dinner will be ready soon."
"Mhm."
Jiang Hongshao and Xu Qingqing also came forward to greet Lin Ran.
The latter nodded, but his attention was drawn to the cold and distant fairy at the end.
"Senior Brother, you’ve returned?"
Xu Ningshuang’s face was pale, like a plum flower withering in the snow and wind.
Her eyebrows were knit with a smoky allure, and her eyes seemed to brim with unshed tears, adding to her two dimpled cheeks bearing the weight of sorrow, and a frailty that touched her entire being.
Teardrops glistened, her breath shallow, still as a delicate flower reflected in water, her movements as tender as willow branches in the breeze.
Upon seeing Lin Ran, she couldn’t help but shed tears of emotion.
The fairy had been... completely overtaxed...
"Mhm, you’ve worked hard, Ningshuang."
Seeing his junior sister in such an exhausted state, Lin Ran felt a pang of compassion and took out a Great Recovery Pill, gently popping it into her slightly pale mouth.
The moment the pill entered her mouth, Xu Ningshuang’s cheeks quickly regained a hint of color.
A Great Recovery Pill that could instantly recharge Lin Ran and Li Jiu’er even after battling for three days and nights.
It barely sufficed to bring back a trace of color to Xu Ningshuang’s complexion?
The level of the formation was absurdly high!
Lin Ran couldn’t help but marvel inwardly; being reincarnated really was different, casually doing things that shattered his understanding!
"Senior Brother, next time you have a formation task, let me do it. Junior Sister’s cultivation is still low, and her body can’t take it!"
Miao Xianyun pouted from the side, looking at her Junior Sister with heartfelt concern. Discover more content at freewebnovel

Xu Ningshuang’s explanation to the others was, "Big Senior Brother said I have a bit of a talent for formations, so he had me set up a Gathering Immortals Array around Xuanyin Peak..."
Then, the fairy busied herself alone all day, puffing and panting with effort.
She consumed bottles of Mysterious Rejuvenation Pills like they were free, guzzling them down one after the other!
Even if she was popping pills, she absolutely couldn’t let down her Senior Brother’s expectations!
Not only did she do the work, she also credited all her achievements to Lin Ran.
Truly worthy of the protagonist’s script.
Always keeping a low profile!
"You’ve all worked hard."
Lin Ran felt quite moved in his heart.
With such a junior sister, even if he sold his body many times over, it would be worth it!
The scene was warm and moving.
Under the moonlight.
Five people from the sect gathered around a bonfire dinner.
.....
Ten days, for cultivators, were nothing but a fleeting moment.
During these ten days.
Everyone on Xuanyin Peak was entangled in intensive cultivation, striving to improve their cultivation as much as possible before entering the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
Even the stove had not been lit for several days.
Under the enhancement of the Gathering Immortals Array, the results were indeed very evident.
Miao Xianyun: Fifth Level Qi Training.
Jiang Hongshao: Fourth Level Qi Training.
Xu Ningshuang: Fourth Level Qi Training.
Xu Qingqing....Second Level Qi Training.
As for Lin Ran, through his own effort and sweat, plus a bit of yin energy from Li Jiu’er and the zealous help of his junior sisters.
Finally, on the eve of departure, he reached the Mid Foundation Establishment!
Feeling the vast spiritual energy inside him, Lin Ran felt a total sense of comfort!
It was as effortless and pleasant as the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," just for a few seconds!
There was no helping it.
With the enrichment of tenfold spiritual energy, his cultivation realm really skyrocketed as fast as drinking water.
"Yo, I didn’t expect your cultivation to have improved!"
Li Jiu’er, who was lying on top of him, snickered and teasingly said with a coquettish look in her eyes,
"Everyone else is breaking through their cultivation, but after sharing a bed with me, your cultivation actually soared."
The beautiful woman was only clad in a thin, translucent gossamer.
Her skin was as white as suet, faintly discernible beneath the fabric, with her hair casually spread out, her black eyes full of seductive charm, and her lips curled into a pleased smile.
She lay on top of Lin Ran, delicate and touching.
"That’s because I have a steadfast dao heart and a resplendently talented display, you know!"
Lin Ran was in a great mood.
He could sense that the junior sisters on Xuanyin Peak were still diligently cultivating.
"Oh? Your performance in bed doesn’t quite live up to the four words ’resplendently talented,’ though!"
Li Jiu’er chuckled softly, her jade-like hand sliding down Lin Ran’s throat, passing his collarbone, gliding over his abs...
"Hiss!"
Lin Ran shivered at her touch.
However.
The advancement in his cultivation made him feel particularly emboldened!
He suddenly flipped over, pinning the Nascent Soul Stage Elder beneath him.
"You think I’m still the little Foundation Establishment junior from before? Take this move from me!"
"Aiyo, aiyo, have mercy, my lord! It wasn’t on purpose, this little woman swears!"
Li Jiu’er was quick to adapt.
She slipped into character in a second, cooperating with him, her coy and delicate damsel demeanor enough to set anyone ablaze!
The green gauze canopy fell like a curtain.
And the night of spring rain left without a word...
It must be said, a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage really is different.
