The two soon arrived at Shen Luo's residence. Even after more than a year of absence, the yard was still as clean as before, obviously someone came to clean it regularly.
"Brother Shen, where have you been for the past year? Why didn't you send any news back to the village? I thought you had died in the mouth of the Sky-Devouring Tiger." Ying Luo said with a little complaint.
"Forgive me, Brother Ying. I was chased by that Sky-Devouring Tiger that day and accidentally fell into a secret cave. There was a restriction blocking the exit of the cave, and I was trapped inside. I only escaped recently." Shen Luo said this with his eyes flashing slightly.
He concealed what happened in the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave and did not tell Ying Luo.
Because for Yingluo and others, the immortals on Fangcun Mountain are the only hope in their hearts. It is precisely because of this hope that despite the suffering in the village, they can still grit their teeth and persevere. If they knew that Fangcun Mountain has been wiped out, I am afraid they will really fall into despair.
"So that's how it is. But Brother Shen, your cultivation seems to have improved." Ying Luo suddenly realized, then looked Shen Luo up and down, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
She had no spiritual awareness and could not feel Shen Luo's level of cultivation, but Shen Luo's entire temperament, especially his physical strength, had undergone tremendous changes compared to before. She did not understand the art of body refining and mistakenly thought that it was due to Shen Luo's improved cultivation level, but it was also a blessing in disguise.
"We have been trapped in the cave for these years, and the only way to escape is through hard practice. Fellow Daoist Ying, your cultivation has also made great progress and you have reached the late stage of Qi Refining." Shen Luo smiled faintly.
The second time the two of them went to Fangcun Mountain, Ying Luo's cultivation level was raised to the middle stage of Qi Refining. Now, more than a year has passed, and she has made further progress. This girl's talent is truly extraordinary.
Moreover, Shen Luo could feel that Ying Luo's cultivation had not only improved, but some other changes seemed to have also taken place in his body.
"My improvement is nothing compared to yours, so I'd rather not talk about it." Ying Luo shook his head and smiled.
Shen Luo did not talk about cultivation anymore, but asked about the situation in the village over the past year. He learned from Ying Luo that the village has been relatively stable over the past year. Although monsters often attacked, the monsters were not strong, and Ying Luo's cultivation had greatly improved, so he managed to deal with them.
The two chatted for a while, and then Yingluo stood up and said goodbye.
"Friend Ying, wait a moment." Shen Luo said, and took out the four-leaf flower and another spiritual herb of considerable age from the Seven Star Pen.
"Four-leaf flower! Peiyuan grass!" Ying Luo's pretty face changed and she cried out in surprise.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ying also studies spiritual herbs. I found these spiritual herbs in that cave. I will use this four-leaf flower to make soup for the children to nourish their bodies. As for this Peiyuan grass, I will give it to Fellow Daoist Ying. It can help you strengthen your foundation or help you break through the bottleneck." Shen Luo stuffed the two spiritual herbs into Ying Luo's hands and said with a smile.
"I can accept the four-leaf flower on behalf of the children, but the age of this Peiyuan grass looks to be more than two hundred years. It is too precious and I cannot accept it." Ying Luo only accepted the four-leaf flower and handed the Peiyuan grass back with a hesitant look on his face.
"It's just a spiritual herb. Fellow Daoist Ying, don't worry about it. I have gained a lot in that cave." Shen Luo did not take the Peiyuan Grass. He patted his waist and said with a smile.
