Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1621: Chapter 823: Return to the Original Owner (Part 2)

A middle-aged shopkeeper in a brocade robe with a shrewd face immediately came forward, a professional enthusiastic smile on his face.

”Young Master Gu, you’ve returned!”

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

”Where is Xueli?”

”The Pavilion Master is on the underground level.”

The shopkeeper respectfully replied and then added.

”Miss Yuanyuan and Miss Qingxuan are cultivating in the Quiet Room on the third floor. Miss Qingtan left yesterday, and she asked me to tell you that the Linlang Pavilion favors are cleared, and she is unburdened and has gone to pursue her own path.”

Shen Qingtan has left?

Gu Sheng understood. Given her nature, she indeed wouldn’t stay long.

The clearing of Linlang Pavilion favors is both liberation and a new beginning for her.

”Got it.”

Gu Sheng responded and did not immediately head to the underground level to find Tantai Xueling but instead turned his steps towards the stairs leading to the third floor.

The Shadow followed but stopped at the staircase entrance to guard there.

Gu Sheng ascended to the third floor alone.

Here was quieter than downstairs, with Spiritual Energy so dense it nearly turned into liquid.

He followed his perception to stand in front of a Quiet Room door.

The door of the Quiet Room was tightly closed, but the flow of rune light on the door indicated that someone was cultivating inside.

He did not knock but simply stood silently outside waiting.

His powerful Divine Sense subtly entered the Quiet Room like the gentlest wind.

Inside the Quiet Room, Spiritual Energy swirled like mist.

Gu Yuanyuan was sitting cross-legged on a White Jade Meditation Mat, her eyes closed, enveloped by a layer of gentle, primitive True Yuan fluctuations.

She was still cultivating the Basic Cultivation Technique Gu Sheng taught her in the ruins.

Gu Sheng could clearly sense the extremely dense Spiritual Energy in the Quiet Room continuously pouring into Gu Yuanyuan’s body, absorbed and refined at an almost greedy pace by her Basic Cultivation Technique.

Her cultivation had astonishingly surged from entry-level Heavenly Martial Realm to the Peak of Heavenly Martial Realm in just a few days!

She seemed just a step away from breaking through to the Sect Realm!

”This little girl... really knows how to utilize resources.”

Gu Sheng’s eyes were filled with understanding.

Gu Yuanyuan didn’t rush to change to a more advanced cultivation technique but chose to cultivate the Basic Technique Gu Sheng taught to perfection in this Spiritual Energy-rich Quiet Room, thereby laying the firmest foundation.

This temperament and insight were indeed impressive.

As if sensing Gu Sheng’s presence, Gu Yuanyuan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes while cultivating in the Quiet Room.

When she saw Gu Sheng standing quietly outside the door, her clear eyes instantly burst forth with indescribable joyful light!

”Master!”

She jumped from the meditation mat and rushed to the door, pulling it open.

”Master! You’ve returned!”

Gu Yuanyuan looked up at Gu Sheng, her face glowing with excitement and flushed red.

She was wearing the dazzling ”Cloud Rainbow Flowing Light Skirt,” her hair in playful little pigtails, and a shiny white jade bracelet on her wrist, her whole person exuding an extraordinary charm.

Yet, her eyes still clung deeply to Gu Sheng with dependence and admiration.

”Hmm.”

Gu Sheng looked at the refreshed appearance of his little disciple, his eyes rarely showing gentleness.

”Are you accustomed to here?”

”Yes! Mistress has been very good to me!”

Gu Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, then bashfully lowered her head and murmured.

”It’s just... this dress is too beautiful, and this bracelet... I’m always afraid I’ll break it... and here... it’s too big, too many people...”

She spoke, her voice growing smaller, her little hands subconsciously twisting the skirt’s hem, evidently still a bit unaccustomed to the sudden wealth and attention.

Gu Sheng watched her behavior, understanding her heart.

From a ruin orphan to the distinguished guest of Linyin Pavilion, this huge change indeed requires time to adapt.

”No worries.”

Gu Sheng said calmly.

”How’s your cultivation? I see you’ve made quite some progress.”

Mentioning cultivation made Gu Yuanyuan’s eyes brighten, instantly filled with energy.
