20: Arrival at Rock City

In the main hall of Shouchun Garden, Lin Zhishou sat at the head, with Lin Nian standing respectfully beside him.

During this period, Zhou Luo had not seen this old man at all.

Because unlike them, who were hiding in the rear practicing Alchemy, he had been on the front lines the entire time.

After not seeing him for some days, the wrinkles on the old man's Face had clearly increased significantly, and his expression was extremely haggard.

The running around and large amount of Alchemy during this period had taken a great toll on his mental energy.

Upon seeing him, Zhou Luo respectfully bowed to him: "Uncle Shou, you have worked hard."

Lin Zhishou waved his hand: "Go back and prepare. In ten days, you and Lin Nian will accompany me to the Spirit Pill Gathering."

"So soon?" Zhou Luo exclaimed in surprise.

There was still nearly two months until the Spirit Pill Gathering; this was inevitably a bit too fast.

"The location for this Spirit Pill Gathering is Panshi City, so we must head there early," Lin Zhishou explained.

Panshi City is the Li family's territory.

As another Immortal Family, the Li family had always kept a low profile and rarely appeared due to their geographical location.

If it weren't for the fact that the hosting rights for this Spirit Pill Gathering had fallen to them, they probably wouldn't have received so much attention.

Panshi City is far away, so departing early is the correct choice.

Zhou Luo did not say anything more.

Next, Lin Zhishou checked Zhou Luo's Alchemy level again.

He discovered that this kid had actually improved again, and this time he could refine three Medicinal Pills in a single furnace.

Zhou Luo explained that this was all due to his frantic Alchemy practice during this period.

"Hmm, pressure is a good thing." Lin Zhishou did not doubt him, and then he looked at Lin Nian: "You must also work harder."

"Yes, Grandpa Shou," Lin Nian replied with his head lowered.

Leaving Shouchun Hall, Zhou Luo, who had intended to make a Breakthrough before leaving, rushed to the Spirit Vein Blessed Land without stopping.

Because of his change in status and position, he had now been assigned to the "Kun" building.

And the location was further inside than before.

Cultivating here was equivalent to twenty times that of the outside.

Zhou Luo sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to circulate the Gathering Spirit Art.

With the help of this Medium Grade Cultivation Technique, Zhou Luo's Cultivate speed became increasingly fast.

Finally, on the seventh day, he stepped from the Qi Training First Level Great Perfection into the Qi Cultivation Stage 2.

Zhou Luo was extremely excited.

Leaving the Spirit Vein Blessed Land and returning home, he informed Lin Qinghan of the time he would be going on a long journey.

"You must be very careful," Lin Qinghan said while holding little Chang'an.

Zhou Luo teased little Chang'an and smiled: "Don't worry, with Uncle Shou there, there will definitely be no problems."

"Hmm." Lin Qinghan nodded, then suddenly said: "Sleep here with me tonight?"

"Aren't you supposed to sleep with little Chang'an?" Zhou Luo asked in confusion.

"He can be watched by Aunt Jing for the time being," Lin Qinghan stared at him, her small Face serious.

The corners of Zhou Luo's mouth curled up: "Alright, I understand."

The appointed day arrived very quickly.

On this day, all five women stood at the door, watching Zhou Luo, who was about to leave.

Lin Qinghan was still holding little Chang'an, and no emotion could be seen on her cold Face.

"Husband, when you are away from home, take care of your health."

As she didn't say anything, Lin Feiying couldn't help but remind him.

Lin Yiyi and Lin Zier also offered their concern.

"I'm just going to see the world," Zhou Luo said nonchalantly.

After a few simple pleasantries, Zhou Luo took his bundle and left.

"Young Miss, are you really not going to say a few words?" Lin Lan asked softly, holding her pregnant belly.

Lin Qinghan looked at that retreating figure, silent.

She had already said most of what needed to be said over the past few nights.

...

At Shouchun Garden, Lin Zhishou was drinking tea in the courtyard.

When he saw Zhou Luo arrive, he stood up and said: "We can set off."

After speaking, he raised his hand slightly, and a flash of spiritual light shot out from his sleeve and landed on the ground.

Zhou Luo looked closely and discovered that a small boat had appeared out of thin air on the ground.

It was exactly the flying boat he had ridden that day.

Under the infusion of Lin Zhishou's spiritual power, the flying boat suddenly grew larger.

The three of them stepped onto it.

The next second, the flying boat rose into the air, turned into a stream of light, and sped off into the distance.

Zhou Luo couldn't help but look back at the Lin family buildings gradually shrinking behind him, then at Lin Zhishou, who stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the boat, feeling deeply emotional.

One day, he too would soar through this world.

The flying boat left Maple Leaf City and headed straight towards Panshi City.

On the way, Zhou Luo simply sat cross-legged and placed the bundle on his back between his legs.

This bundle had been prepared for him by the women.

He didn't even know what was inside.

It was a good time to open it and see.

Whoosh—

The wind howled, but it could not affect the three people in the flying boat.

Zhou Luo opened the bundle, and what came into view was a lunch box with a Spirit Talisman attached to it.

He removed the Spirit Talisman used for insulation, opened the lunch box, and immediately, the aroma of food wafted over.

It even attracted the attention of Lin Zhishou and Lin Nian; both turned and looked over at the same time.

"You even brought Spirit Food?" Lin Zhishou asked in surprise.

This trip to Panshi City would inevitably take several days.

Originally, the three of them had planned to survive on Bigu Pills.

But how could dry Medicinal Pills compare to fragrant Spirit Food?

And it just happened to be mealtime right now.

When he saw the food in Zhou Luo's arms, even Lin Zhishou had a strange glint in his eyes.

Lin Nian was staring straight at him.

"Uncle Shou, please try my wife's cooking." Zhou Luo tactfully handed the lunch box over.

"No need, you eat," Lin Zhishou still cared about his Face and did not take it.

Zhou Luo, however, said: "There are exactly three portions, we can eat together."

This lunch box had three layers in total; it seemed it had been prepared specifically for the three of them.

Seeing this, Lin Zhishou did not say much more, sat cross-legged opposite Zhou Luo, and took the lunch box.

He used chopsticks to pick up a piece of Spirit Food and put it in his mouth; the next second, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his Face.

"Hmm, this Spirit Food is actually this delicious?"

"Feiying's cooking skills are indeed excellent," Zhou Luo smiled.

Among the five women, only Lin Feiying's cooking skills could be called superb; the Spirit Food she made was delicious and fragrant.

Lin Nian, having taken the lunch box, began to wolf down the food.

"Delicious!" Even he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Haha, it really is different having a wife. Little Nian, you also need to hurry up and take a wife," Lin Zhishou teased rarely.

"Grandpa Shou, taking a wife will delay my Cultivate," Lin Nian retorted.

"Then look at Zhou Luo, has he been delayed?" Lin Zhishou said.

"That's different," Lin Nian pouted and continued to bury his head in eating.

After eating, Zhou Luo repacked the lunch box into the bundle.

Immediately after, he saw another item.

It was a mirror.

When he looked at himself, the mirror surface distorted, revealing Lin Yiyi's Face with a sweet smile.

Zhou Luo was speechless.

He could even automatically imagine Lin Yiyi's voice at this moment.

Putting down the mirror, Zhou Luo did not continue, instead putting the bundle aside and starting to close his eyes to rest.

Originally, he wanted to Cultivate just like Lin Nian.

But fearing that Lin Zhishou would see the clues of his Cultivation Technique, he simply gave up.

The days on the flying boat were boring, but it had the advantage of speed.

Five days later, the three of them finally saw the massive city of Panshi City.
