The firm resolution swept away the gloom in Tangyu's heart, and his mood became cheerful once more.

Yaomei's efficiency was quite good; in less than five days, she brought Qi Xingtian before Tangyu. Originally, disciples not belonging to the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect were not easily allowed to ascend Jiuzhou Mountain. However, Tangyu's reputation was at its peak, and his status within the sect was naturally very high, so when it was known Tangyu wished to see someone, no one blocked the way.

Though Qi Xingtian had always stayed on the Yanshan Sect side, he had naturally heard of Tangyu's exploits. Moreover, he had witnessed Tangyu's powerful return last time. He couldn't help but admire Tangyu's significant transformation from the heart. Back then at Shi Que Palace, Tangyu was merely a Mystic Law Realm boy, and in less than two years, he had grown to such a level.

To be honest, at first, he followed Tangyu out merely for self-preservation. For freedom, he was forced to make a deal with Tangyu. But now, he genuinely admired Tangyu from the bottom of his heart and even thought about continuing to follow him. Yet he knew, with his current power, he would not catch Tangyu's eye; he lacked the strength to follow.

Seeing Tangyu, Qi Xingtian fell silent, unsure why Tangyu had called him over this time.

Seeing Qi Xingtian, Tangyu felt a close bond, as if he were seeing family. Tangyu was always someone who valued relationships deeply, particularly with Qi Xingtian, his first follower, with whom he had a special and profound connection.

Tangyu said, "Qi Xingtian, you should be aware of my current strength. This time, I summoned you to ask whether you wish to continue following me?"

Qi Xingtian had indeed considered this possibility; he was willing. Upon hearing Tangyu say it outright, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately knelt: "Qi Xingtian is willing to follow the master!"

Tangyu quickly helped Qi Xingtian stand up, saying, "There's no need for such formalities. Be at ease before me; I don't like this. Since you wish to continue following me, I shall bestow upon you an opportunity. You are now only at the Golden Core Second Layer, and your potential for advancement is very slim. Thus, if I were to grant you a Purple Sun Pill, you would definitely be eager to accept it, wouldn't you?"

"What, a Purple Sun Pill?!" Qi Xingtian was shocked beyond words, his eyes wide, greatly startled as he looked at Tangyu. A Purple Sun Pill, a precious treasure he had only heard of, usually only dared to fantasize about. While a Purple Sun Pill couldn't enable him to break through from Golden Core Second Layer to Zifu Realm, it could easily elevate him to at least Golden Core Seventh Level.

Qi Xingtian understood his situation. Having lived for more than a century, he was nearing the twilight of his hero days. His potential had reached its limit; at most, he could dream of advancing to Golden Core Sixth Layer, and that would require some fortunate opportunities. Otherwise, he might never reach Golden Core Sixth Realm in his lifetime.

As for anything above Golden Core Sixth Layer, that was beyond his imagination, utterly impossible. The threshold from Golden Core Sixth Layer to Golden Core Seventh Level was an insurmountable barrier for him.

A Purple Sun Pill was a heavenly immortal opportunity for him, beyond his wildest dreams.

A surge of excitement passed; Qi Xingtian couldn't suppress his eagerness and nodded enthusiastically: "Willing, naturally willing!"

Tangyu nodded, flicked his hand, and a Purple Sun Pill appeared, immediately emanating a wave of immortal power. Seeing the Purple Sun Pill, Qi Xingtian grew even more excited, his expression dynamic. A Purple Sun Pill, he'd seen it for the first time. Just the trace of immortal power emitted from the Purple Sun Pill made him certain it was undoubtedly an Immortal Pill.

Yaomei looked at the Purple Sun Pill in Tangyu's hand with greedy, envious eyes, itching to grab it, yet knowing she couldn't possibly take anything from her master. Thus, she could only look enviously and resentfully.

Qi Xingtian accepted the Purple Sun Pill from Tangyu's hand with trembling hands, unable to speak from excitement, feeling unbounded gratitude toward Tangyu. This master, truly the right one to follow.

Tangyu smirked, patting Qi Xingtian's shoulder lightly, saying, "Alright, go and cultivate in seclusion quickly. Yaomei and I will return to Yanshan Sect first. After your seclusion, join us at Yanshan Sect with the Shadow Ghost."

"Yes, master." Qi Xingtian promptly nodded, thrilled to go into seclusion.

After seeing Qi Xingtian off, Yaomei looked weakly at Tangyu, her face full of allure yet vulnerability, seeming particularly cute: "Master, you're so hard on me. After all, I am a great beauty, master, how could you be this way? A Purple Sun Pill, give me one too!"

Tangyu shook his head, saying, "Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful. If you want a Purple Sun Pill, focus on cultivating. I have high expectations for you; I want to train you to the Zifu Realm. Don't set your sights too short; think more long-term. For now, I don't need you to do anything. Just focus on your cultivation."

Yaomei pouted but obediently kept silent.

Tangyu said, "Let's go to Yanshan Sect; the plan to eliminate Liang Kingdom should commence. Once we move, it must be thorough, uprooting Liang Kingdom entirely, leaving no remnants."

Tangyu and Yaomei also left the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, and three days later, the two of them returned to the Yanshan Sect. After a year, returning to the Yanshan Sect again, Tangyu felt particularly close to it, as this place was his first stop in the cultivation world, and it held great significance for him.

This feeling was just like returning home.

Speaking of home, Tangyu couldn't help but think of Earth, but he currently doesn't have the strength to return there. Even if he went back to Earth now, Tangyu wouldn't dare to bring Lin Feifei and others to the cultivation world; it's too chaotic now, and bringing them to this world would only be dangerous. Besides, there's a possibility that people from Hongchen Palace might exploit his weaknesses. So, the best way is to let them stay on Earth, which would be safer.

As soon as Tangyu arrived at the Yanshan Sect, a disciple noticed him and immediately shouted with excitement, "Tangyu, it's Tangyu! Tangyu is back, Tangyu is back!"

While shouting, he happily ran towards the sect to spread the news.

Seeing this, Tangyu couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "I didn't expect to be so popular now." Such treatment, indeed, is quite delightful. Even for Tangyu, it's somewhat flattering. Counting the time, he's been in the cultivation world for over two years now, advancing from a Mystic Law Realm to his current realm, which is indeed very difficult. From a small disciple of the Yanshan Sect to being revered by everyone now, it hasn't been easy at all.

Someone went to report, and Tangyu simply waited there. Sure enough, many figures quickly rushed over. One after another, familiar faces appeared in front of Tangyu: Elder Bai, Hua Fang, Ying Longtian, Liu Bocheng, Guangtou Qiang, Luo Xiaobing, Niu Hong, and others came up, each warmly greeting Tangyu, clearly very happy about his return.

At this moment, many people couldn't help but turn their gaze to Yaomei, all deeply captivated by Yaomei's charm power, with expressions of bemusement.

Soon, Yan Nantian arrived, and so did the Supreme Elder, along with several Golden Core realm elders. Now, the Yanshan Sect has six in the Golden Core realm, with four new additions.

"Master!" Tangyu respectfully greeted Yan Nantian.

Yan Nantian laughed heartily, "Good, good, Tangyu, you're back. It's a joyous occasion, come to Master's place, today we celebrate the whole sect."

Tangyu nodded with a smile and followed Yan Nantian and the Supreme Elder to the main peak. At Tangyu's suggestion, the other four Golden Core realm cultivators also followed. Quickly, the group arrived at the main hall of the main peak, where Yan Nantian set up a table of drinks and signaled everyone to sit down.

Yan Nantian also sized up Tangyu. There had been many rumors about Tangyu recently, and seeing him in person, Yan Nantian found Tangyu gave him the impression of a vast, endless ocean, impossible to see its edges. Even a single breath was incredibly strong, so strong that he felt insignificant in front of Tangyu. Such a feeling, he hadn't even experienced when facing someone in the Zifu realm. This greatly astonished Yan Nantian, aware that Tangyu's strength had reached an unimaginable level.

Yan Nantian secretly observed Yaomei beside Tangyu as well, surprised to find that although her strength wasn't very strong, her charm power was indeed terrifying, so much so that he felt as if she were a celestial beauty.

Tangyu suddenly frowned slightly and immediately reproved, "Yaomei, do not be disrespectful to my master."

Yaomei immediately reined in her charm power, pouting at Tangyu.

Yan Nantian was also greatly surprised and felt somewhat embarrassed as he realized he had just fallen under some charm technique.

Tangyu added, "Master, this is a follower of mine, Yaomei. Although her strength is average, her charm power is indeed formidable."

Yan Nantian finally understood, realizing she was Tangyu's follower.

Tangyu's current achievements fill Yan Nantian and others with immense pride. To have such a peerless talent emerge from a third-rate power is certainly something to honor their ancestors with, bringing unparalleled glory to the Yanshan Sect.

In everyone's heart, Tangyu's status is naturally supreme, far exceeding that of Yan Nantian, the Sect Master.

Tangyu's return this time gives everyone a good premonition that Tangyu wouldn't be coming back just to visit without purpose; his return surely means great benefits for the Yanshan Sect. Last time he returned, he helped solve a major crisis for the sect. His return this time, who knows what he might bring.

After drinking for a while, everyone chatted for a bit, and the atmosphere was both cordial and relaxed.
