Hu Yuan returned to the familiar little farmhouse courtyard, a long-lost sense of warmth welling up in his heart. The verdant vegetables, the vibrant fruit trees, and the branches gently swaying in the breeze all carried a familiar feel. Picking up a broom, he tidied up the courtyard a little, feeling a faint sense of joy and peace. Washing away the weariness of the mortal world, he made his way to the tranquil cultivation room.
Stepping into the cultivation room, he sat cross-legged on the rush mat, closed his eyes slightly, and directed his spiritual consciousness into the Sun Bead Space. Amidst flashing light, the ethereal figure of Tianshan Ancestor appeared before his eyes. Hu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to bow and respectfully greeted his master.
Tianshan Ancestor smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with approval as he looked upon Hu Yuan. After studying him for a long time, he slowly spoke, his voice resonant and strong: "Yuan'er, your cultivation has indeed progressed with astonishing speed, and your natural talent is truly remarkable. However, the path of cultivation lies not only in the enhancement of spiritual power, but even more so in the sublimation of one's state of mind."
