Chapter 857 - 764: Unbound Shackles, Abnormal Phenomenon in Heaven and Earth

Since it came to mind, Shen Han discussed with Shi Yuezhu to call back the young people from Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion in batches.

In his spare time, he would relieve them of their constraints.

During this period, all of Shen Han’s thoughts were focused on cultivation.

Occasionally during breaks, Shi Yuezhu would lean on Shen Han’s side and talk about the recent events on the Southern Heaven Continent.

One major event among them was about the Pill sales in Qilin Valley.

"After confirming that Five Immortals City will not sell Pills this month, the Southern Heaven Continent is in quite an uproar.

In the past few days, some people went to Five Immortals City to cause a scene.

Elder Sizhi stood up to explain in public, and in the conversation, many people have already turned their focus on Qilin Valley.

I’ve heard many people are on their way to Qilin Valley, including the Young Master of Jiulong Prefecture."

"Jiulong Prefecture?

It seems to be quite a large sect, I’ve heard of it before."

"The Young Madam of Jiulong Prefecture was injured before the New Year and was waiting for a Heart Star Elixir for healing.

The suspension of the pill sales indeed affects them to some extent."

Hearing this, Shen Han couldn’t help but sit up.

"No wonder the Young Master of Jiulong Prefecture would go to Qilin Valley for an explanation."

Shen Han frowned, pausing for a moment.

"Is the injury of the Young Madam of Jiulong Prefecture critical?"

"I heard there was some mishap during her cultivation, and the family’s physicians were unable to heal her. They sought treatment outside and found out that she needed a Pill from Qilin Valley for healing.

It’s already been delayed for quite some time."

Upon hearing Shi Yuezhu’s words, Shen Han thought it over carefully.

"It’s not easy for two people to stay together as partners, and I don’t want lovers to be forcibly separated.

We can give them a Heart Star Elixir as a gesture of goodwill.

However, we need Jiulong Prefecture to help us conceal this.

Otherwise, if everyone comes to seek help, our strategy to pressure Qilin Valley will be wasted."

Sitting beside him, Shi Yuezhu also nodded.

Those years when I was forced to leave and separated from Shi Yuezhu, Shen Han understands that kind of feeling.

It is precisely because he can understand that he does not want others to suffer those hardships.

"Furthermore, Xilan and the children should arrive home tonight, so let’s relax a bit today, there’s no rush in cultivation."

"Indeed, I should also relax with my wife."

Saying this, Shi Yuezhu pinched Shen Han.

The next moment, Shen Han grasped this jade-like hand and pulled her inside.

The news of Liu Xilan and the others returning was already known to everyone.

Tonight’s dinner was naturally prepared more lavishly.

This time, a total of four people returned, including Liu Xilan, two disciples from Xiaoyao Peak, and two younger ones from Yun Mansion.

Upon returning, the four naturally had to first pay their respects to the elders.

After seeing the elders, the four then went together to visit Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu.

After all, their return this time is for Shen Han to enhance their cultivation talents.

It is only proper for them to come and pay their respects.

As it was nearing dinner time, the four made their visit brief.

When they arrived at Shen Han’s courtyard, Shi Yuezhu had already prepared tea and snacks to welcome them inside.

After getting married, Shen Han hadn’t changed much.

But Shi Yuezhu seemed to have gained the air of a wife.

Liu Xilan’s gaze was slightly evasive, as if avoiding looking at Shen Han.

Though nothing was amiss, she just felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Since Young Master Han got married, he looks better and better.

It seems his happiness is truly reflected in his face."

The two young ones from Yun Mansion said with smiles.

They are from Yun Mansion, so naturally, they followed Yun Mansion’s terms of address.

Shen Han was still addressed as Young Master Han, and Shi Yuezhu was, of course, called Young Madam.

As for Liu Xilan, being Shi Yuezhu’s niece, she naturally had to speak according to Xiaoyao Peak’s terms of address.

She should call Shen Han uncle or uncle-in-law.

Yet, neither of these forms of address could she quite bring herself to say.

Even though Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu had been married for a long time, she still had never addressed him once.

They were of the same generation, and Liu Xilan was even slightly older than Shen Han.

The two had known each other before, and could be considered old friends...

After a brief conversation, it was already time for dinner.

Together, they went to the hall, gathered around to discuss recent events.

At the dinner table, everyone chose to share good things.

People will not always have everything go smoothly, and inevitably there will be troubles and difficulties.

But today is a reunion, so there’s no need to focus on troubling matters and ruin the atmosphere.

At the table, questions were mostly directed at the cultivation realm of the four returning youngsters.

Speaking of innate potential, apart from Liu Xilan, the other three had all unlocked seven constraints.

However, their current strengths still showed quite a difference.

The cultivation path is always the combined effect of talent, resources, and experience.

Even with extraordinary talent and abundant resources, one cannot improve if they are lazy and never delve into understanding.

Not to mention unlocking seven constraints, even unlocking ten, there’s still difficulty in advancement.

Nevertheless, all four rapidly progressed in their cultivation realms, having stepped into the Grotto Heaven Realm.

Liu Xilan had reached the 4th Layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm, just a short way from the 6th Layer.

The 6th Layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm is nearly equivalent in strength to the Third Grade of the Immortal Realm.

It must be said that the new system’s advancement is truly swift.

Those who practiced the Old Method, even if they were prodigiously talented and encountered various opportunities, would only reach the Immortal Realm by nearly forty years of age.
