"Brother Chen, ten years have passed, and everything is normal in Yang County."
In fact, Yang County has undergone tremendous changes in the past one or two years.
Ever since Xu Chunniang took away the heavenly fire, the climate in Yang County has returned to normal, with rain falling frequently.
The lives of the people in Yang County have been greatly improved, and almost no one dies of hunger anymore.
I believe that it won’t be long before Yang County will be able to get rid of the poverty that has lasted for more than two hundred years.
Chen Husheng's eyes fell on Junior Sister Xu, whom he had only met once, with a hint of scrutiny.
He originally thought that after Junior Sister Xu was assigned to Yang County, it wouldn't take long before she would cry and beg to return to Yuedu.
Unexpectedly, he was wrong. She went to Yang County for ten years and never returned to Yuedu once.
He is a ruthless person.
Such a person is either stubborn or extremely determined.
Chen Husheng's mind raced, and a smile appeared on his face, "Junior Sister Xu, you've worked hard."
Xu Chunniang looked at Chen Husheng with some surprise. She remembered that this Senior Brother Chen had been deeply resentful towards her when he failed to get benefits from her.
Why did he seem to have changed his temper now? She couldn't figure it out.
But after all, we are just casual acquaintances, so there is no need to take us too seriously.
Little did she know that Chen Husheng had been living in the secular world for so long that he had developed a thick skin. Even if he had been dissatisfied with her ten years ago, that dissatisfaction had long since faded after so much time had passed.
Xu Chunniang was able to stay in Yang County for ten years and was never moved by external things.
Chen Husheng believed that he could not do this. Her will and character alone made him feel afraid and he did not dare to do anything too extreme.
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "It's just my job, it's not hard at all."
After Chen Husheng finished the registration, he spoke to Xu Chunniang with a serious expression.
"Junior Sister Xu has a strong will, which I admire very much. I once misunderstood Junior Sister Xu. I apologize to you here. At the same time, I wish you great progress in your cultivation after returning to the sect, and that you can establish your foundation as soon as possible!"
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Chen Husheng would take the initiative to show goodwill.
There was no hatred between the two of them. It was just that Chen Husheng was unilaterally dissatisfied with her. Since he was showing goodwill, there was naturally no need for her to hold on to it.
"Then I'll take advantage of Senior Brother Chen's good wishes. I also hope that Senior Brother can get what he wants."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the Censorate.
Looking at the direction where Junior Sister Xu left, Chen Husheng felt lost. Did he get what he wanted
I'm afraid that since the day he left the sect, it has become a dream.
Xu Chunniang left Yuedu and headed west unimpeded.
When passing Wuchang County on the way, she slowed down her pace unconsciously, but did not stop.
Since she has chosen to leave home to practice, Xu Chunniang will not stop on her path.
The hustle and bustle of the world, the worldly joy and happiness, are no longer the only options for her.
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes for a long time. When she opened them again, her eyes were clear. She had her own path to take.
It took her more than three months to come to the mortal world, and when she returned, she was so focused on her journey that it took her less than three months to complete the entire journey.
Seeing the mountain gate she had not seen for a long time, Xu Chunniang smiled. Xiaoyao Sect, she was finally back.
The disciples guarding the gate had already been replaced. After routinely verifying their identities, they looked at Xu Chunniang with surprise in their eyes.
"Those who went to the secular world on an overseas mission are actually willing to come back."
It's no wonder that he was surprised. Most of the disciples sent out were old and decrepit. A small number of them felt that there was no hope for them to cultivate immortality and were only interested in pleasure, or they were sent out because they had offended others like Xu Chunniang.
Many cultivators with weak determination will be affected by the secular world when they come to the mortal world. In addition, the spiritual energy is thin, so even if they want to persist in their practice, their progress will be slow.
Over time, one naturally loses the motivation to persevere.
When the ten-year period was up, he had lost his fighting spirit and was unwilling to return to the sect, choosing to spend his life in the mundane world.
Xu Chunniang smiled but said nothing about the gatekeeper disciple's words. She knew that other people's choices were their own business and there was no need to say more. However, she was determined to pursue the Tao and was determined to return to the sect.
The gatekeeper disciple exclaimed in amazement before letting her pass. Although there were few people like her who were willing to return to the sect, there were some who were willing.
There was a senior brother in the past who went to the secular world at first because he was greedy for wealth and fame, but later he came to his senses, returned to the sect, and began to work hard, and finally even succeeded in building a foundation.
The deeds of this senior brother became a legend at the time, inspiring many outer disciples of average qualifications.
Thinking of this, he tried to sense the cultivation level of the departing female cultivator, but found that he could not sense anything, and his face changed slightly.
Those who can carry out tasks at the East Gate have at least the seventh level of Qi training, and he is the best among them, with a cultivation level of the eighth level.
There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, that is, her cultivation level is higher than his.
He secretly muttered in his heart, since she has achieved such achievements at such a young age, this senior sister must not be an unknown person.
Xu Chunniang entered the east gate and headed towards the commissioning hall, preparing to hand in the external assignment first.
The person entrusted to manage the hall was still the female cultivator named Huang. When she saw Xu Chunniang, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"It's you. You've returned from the mortal world."
Compared to ordinary people, practitioners have greatly improved memory. Xu Chunniang was not surprised that Manager Huang could still recognize her after ten years.
"It's me. The ten-year assignment has been completed."
As she spoke, she handed over the two tokens.
Manager Huang was in turmoil, but he did not show it on his face. He accepted the garrison order and the disciple order.
She remembered that when this junior sister left, she was only at the sixth level of Qi training, but in just ten years, she actually broke through to the ninth level
I don’t know what kind of benefits this Junior Sister Xu gained in the past ten years in the mortal world that allowed her cultivation to improve so much.
If the petty-minded Manager Zhao from the Miscellaneous Hall knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Manager Huang thought calmly in his heart, but his men moved quickly and transferred 500 contribution points into the token.
"I have taken back the garrison order. Please keep your token, Junior Sister Xu."
Xu Chunniang took the token, ignored the look in Manager Huang's eyes, and walked out of the commission hall.
After returning to the sect after ten years, seeing the many cultivators coming and going in the sect, I felt like I hadn't seen it for a long time.
She breathed in spiritual energy that was ten times richer than that in the mortal world, and walked towards the Duobao Pavilion within the sect.
The next outer sect competition will begin in less than two years, so we must start preparing now.
On this journey to the mortal world, the speed talisman and the mind-clearing talisman have all been used up and need to be replenished.
However, she had enough materials for refining talismans, so she didn't need to buy more.
The Ruyi Golden Bell and the spiritual armor were destroyed, so I had to buy some more useful spiritual weapons.
After all, the flying sword and black crossbow in her hand were both obtained from her fellow disciples. The flying sword was quite common, but the black crossbow was rare, so it was not easy to use it openly.
If someone points it out, it's bound to get into trouble.
Apart from the flying sword, the only thing that could be used was the small round shield obtained from the evil cultivator.
Unfortunately, the small round shield is good at defense but not enough at attack, and its function is relatively simple.
Arriving at Duobao Pavilion, Xu Chunniang went straight to the third floor.
She already had a considerable fortune, and she also made a small fortune from the evil foundation-building cultivators. This time, she would definitely pick out some spiritual weapons that would suit her.
