1257 Surprising Progress

When it was apparent that Tian Yanyu wouldn't return to the room, Yuan stood up and said, "I guess I should take my leave now."

"When will you leave for the Fourth Heaven?" Tian Suyin suddenly asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but before I do, I will return to give Miss Yanyu a proper farewell— if you don't mind."

"We don't mind. You're always welcome here." Tian Xianzu said.

"Thank you."

Yuan left the Tian Family's residence shortly after.

"Xiao Hua, Yingying, I am going to be away for a while. I should return in a week." Yuan said to them.

And then he contacted Feng Yuxiang through their spiritual connection, "Feng Feng, I will be away for a week. Please let Xi Meili know. I will contact you again when I return."

After spending half a year inside Cultivation Online with only a single break, Yuan desperately needed some fresh air from Earth, as well as catching up with his partners and companions.

He logged off the game for the second time in half a year.

After removing the console from his head, Yuan inspected his body and mumbled, "My body is already at the point where I no longer need to eat or drink for half a year without any issues. As convenient as it sounds, it's also quite terrifying."

He got off the bed and went to take a long bath.

"The herbs for body tempering are no longer effective— they're simply too weak for my physique now…"

Yuan increased the amount of medicine for his body tempering, but it still wasn't enough to even make his body tingle.

"I thought it would last a little longer, but alas…"

Since the medicine was no longer effective on him, Yuan shortened his time in the bathroom to an hour.

By the time he came out of the bathroom, it was already late into the afternoon.

When he returned to the bedroom, Yuan realized that Chu Liuxiang was absent. Usually, she would be either cultivating or playing Cultivation Online. He looked out the window, but the training grounds were empty.

He then made his way to the hallway, where he encountered Meifeng, who was mopping the floor with a serious expression on her face.

"h.e.l.lo, Meifeng. It's been a while." Yuan approached her with a bright smile on his face.

"Yuan! You're finally back!" Meifeng's expression immediately brightened upon seeing his face.

She also stopped mopping the floor and went straight to him.

"Are you okay? Does your body feel weird anywhere? I know you are a Cultivator, but you haven't eaten or drank anything for half a year, right?" Meifeng immediately began questioning his well-being, which didn't surprise Yuan in the slightest.

"I am perfectly fine. In fact, I've never felt healthier," he chuckled.

Meifeng had a slightly baffled look on her face as she mumbled, "I noticed my body requiring less maintenance as my cultivation increased too, but I didn't think it could allow humans to ignore food and water… Cultivation is truly profound."

Hearing her words, Yuan peeked at her cultivation level.

"Wow, you're already a Spirit Master?"

"I'm still lagging behind everyone else, who has already reached the rank of Spirit Grandmaster," Meifeng sighed with a hint of disappointment.

"What? Spirit Grandmaster?" Yuan exclaimed in surprise, taken aback by the rapid progress of everyone around him.

'Even if they've been cultivating tirelessly for the past six months, their cultivation should only be at the Spirit Master level. Is it because of the rich spiritual energy on this mountain? Or did something happen while I was away?' Yuan pondered.

Meifeng noticed the bewildered expression on Yuan's face and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Are you that taken aback that they've caught up to you?"

"I am…" He nodded.

"It's because we received some a.s.sistance. Without that person's help, our cultivation wouldn't have advanced so rapidly," Meifeng disclosed suddenly.

"That person?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, indeed. That person happens to be the lord of this mountain. He generously provided us with an array of treasures to aid in our cultivation," Meifeng revealed the truth behind their incredible progression.

"I see... So the Lord lent a hand. That explains a lot," Yuan nodded in understanding.

And he continued with a smile, "Looks like I can no longer ignore my cultivation in this world, or everyone will surpa.s.s me before I even realize it."

"That's impossible. While they've achieved Spirit Grandmaster, there's only so much treasures can do." Meifeng sighed.

"Anyways, Yuan, I'm glad you've returned. Something has been happening that requires your immediate attention."

"What happened?" Yuan had an ominous feeling about this.

"The Ten Great Families— they're targeting you."

"Ten Great Families? Who are they?" Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.

"The Ten Great Families is a t.i.tle given to the top 10 families in the Legacy Ranking," she briefly explained.

"Oh, those guys. What are they planning now?" Yuan was slightly relieved upon hearing this information.

"Let's gather everyone first," Meifeng said.

"Sure. By the way, where is everyone? I tried to sense them just now, but there's n.o.body in the house besides you and me." Yuan asked.

"Oh, they're training at the top of the mountain with the Lord. He's not just supplying us with resources but also giving us pointers among other things. He's been really helpful— even though he's never shown his face."

Yuan was truly surprised to hear that the Lord had allowed others beside him and the Manager to enter the top of the mountain.

'I wonder what changed his mind,' he wondered inwardly.

"Then I will immediately go call them back. Please wait a little longer." Meifeng said before rus.h.i.+ng to put away the mop and bucket.

"Take your time. I won't be going anywhere for a while." Yuan said to her.

Sometime later, Meifeng called the Manager through her cellphone.

"Can you tell everyone to return to the house as soon as possible? Tell them that Yuan has returned."

"He's back?" The Manager mumbled in a somewhat surprised tone.

After quickly snapping back, she continued, "Okay, I will let them know."
