After Han Lin arranged for the disciples to descend through the underground treasury, he sat alone in the main hall, drinking tea with Elder Jinwu.
He maintained a calm expression, though he felt as though he were sitting on pins and needles. *With such a magnificent aura and the cultivation world overflowing with talent, who have I ever feared?*
Elder Jinwu looked calm and rosy, likely due to the Essence Blood Pill he had given him. At this point, his cultivation had probably broken through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage peak, reaching roughly the Deity Transformation stage.
A sound of footsteps came from outside the main gates, shifting from heavy to light before stopping at the threshold.
Elder Fasong commanded, "The rest of you stay outside. Do not let a single fly out."
"Zhu Zhixin, come inside with me. Say nothing for now, and follow my lead."
Seeing Elder Fasong after many days apart, Elder Jinwu greeted him politely, "It has been a long time, Elder Fa. How have you been lately, and what brings you to my domain?"
"I am in fine health. Elder Jin, your complexion looks rather good! It seems you have already broken through the Nascent Soul peak stage, have you not?"
Elder Jinwu's expression flickered with surprise; no matter how hard he tried to conceal his cultivation, the other man had still seen through it.
