After Zhao Di bid farewell to Yi Xing Shi, he arrived at the largest demonic beast material shop in the city - Lun Dao Xuan.

  He didn't hide his face and cultivation, and went straight to the third floor's teahouse with a familiar air.

  There were also many monks he knew here, I don't know how many decades have passed, whether they can still meet one or two. If you can meet, you can also ask for news.

  As soon as he entered the three-layered teahouse door, emitting an astonishing aura from his body, he immediately attracted the attention of seven or eight cultivators in this room.

  After all, this teahouse is mainly for foundation-building cultivators, and it's rare to have elders from the Core Formation stage come here.

  "It's Elder Zhao! Elder Zhao, you've also achieved the Great Way of Golden Elixir! Congratulations, congratulations!" A slender old man in his fifties or sixties, who was sitting leisurely on a taishi chair sipping tea, immediately stood up and recognized Zhao Di with one glance after seeing the superior person arrive. He hastily paid his respects and opened his mouth to offer congratulations.

  The rest of the monks, although they did not know Zhao Di, also stood up one by one and paid their respects.

  Zhao stepped forward with a slight smile and said, "Fellow Taoists, no need to be polite!" Then he walked up to the tall, thin old man's side and sat down in a large chair, saying to the old man, "Brother Huang, you're doing well! Brother Huang just mentioned the word 'also', could it be that someone else has successfully refined the elixir? Is this person known to me?" As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, indicating for the other to sit down.

  The thin old man bowed again before daring to sit in front of Zhao, answering respectfully: "That's right, this person is indeed Senior Red Dust Immortal!"

  "Red dust has also condensed into a golden elixir! When did this happen?" Zhao Di exclaimed with great joy.

  "Seven or eight years ago, Hongchen had been to Xingxing Island once before. Several of us younger ones were fortunate enough to meet him. At the time, Hongchen also asked about Zhao's situation, but we knew nothing about what happened to Zhao after he left Xingxing Island over thirty years ago, so we couldn't answer." The thin old man recounted in detail his encounter with Hongchen back then.

  The young senior in front of him had a close relationship with the Red Dust Immortal at that time, and naturally had great interest in this matter. He believed that by telling his opponent such good news, even if he couldn't get any benefits in return, at least he could leave a good impression on his opponent's mind. His opponent was now a high-ranking person in the Foundation Establishment stage, and he could only try to please him, never daring to offend him.

  Zhaodi listened to the old man's words, and he was also thinking about this matter. Calculating it this way, the Red Dust Fairy's elixir formation time was still before his. It seemed that precisely because of his own failure in the first attempt at forming an elixir and practicing the second cycle of the Hunyuan Technique, this woman had broken through to the Elixir Formation realm boundary.

  This woman's innate talent is not top-notch. Even with the help of Three Flame Heaven Fire Liquid and Nine Cold Xuanming Water, successfully forming a dan would be extremely lucky!

  Hongchen Xianzi was one of the few people who had gone through countless great wars with him, and when he heard that she could also enter the Jiedan Great Way, Zhao Di was truly delighted for her.

  After asking a few more questions, Zhao Di asked about some things on Xingxing Island in recent years. As a result, the old man basically repeated what Yi Xiu Shi had said before, and there wasn't much new content.

  Zhao Di chatted with him for a while and left behind a bottle of Guyuan Dan, which was very beneficial to the old man's cultivation, before leaving Xingxing Island's Fang City.

  He didn't stay on this island for long, but transformed into a blue light and flew straight to Lingshan Island.

  Two or three days later, Zhao Di arrived above the island of Lüjia. After scanning with his divine sense, he did not find any unusual situation. The several spell arrays that Shi Shuo had opened before he left were also intact and undamaged.

  Zhao took out a Sound Token and sent it into the formation, then slowly descended onto the island of Lianhua, glancing around slightly.

  Decades of time, for human beings, is indeed a huge change, but for these lifeless earth and stone peaks, there is not the slightest change.

  "Perhaps these mountains and rocks are the eternal existence between heaven and earth, while humans and demons are just fleeting travelers in between. If one cannot attain immortality, they will eventually turn to dust and disappear into the universe. At that time, the glory and shame, wealth and poverty, high and low status of this life will all be but a fleeting cloud, devoid of meaning!" Zhao's heart was filled with a sense of melancholy.

  A moment later, the law array opened up a path of about ten feet wide. A young man in white clothes rushed out from it and shouted to Zhao Di from afar: "Master is back! Master, you are indeed a Golden Core cultivator! Disciple Shi Shuo congratulates Master on achieving Golden Core!" By the time his voice fell, the figure was already standing several meters in front of Zhao Di.

  Looking at the young man in front of him with a big smile on his face, he appeared to be 27 or 28 years old, looking several years older than himself. The young man was about the same height as Zhao Di, but slightly more robust, not as lean and thin as Zhao Di, and had an extremely handsome face, with a strong and masculine aura emanating from between his eyebrows.

  "Oh my, the master's disciple is indeed a perfect handsome man, hehe, even more good-looking than the master!" A soft and cheerful voice of a young girl echoed in Zhao Di's mind.

  "It's different, this apprentice is indeed more handsome, but the master is also very elegant, both have their own unique looks and styles." Yulan also commented.

  Zhao Di didn't respond to the two women's words, and smiled at the young man, saying: "Shuo Er, it's been over 30 years since we last parted, not only have you broken through the foundation-building bottleneck, but your cultivation has also reached the mid-stage of foundation building. As a teacher, I'm quite gratified to see this. It seems that all these years you've been diligently cultivating and haven't been lazy at all!

  Young Zhao bowed and said, "This is all the result of Master's gift of countless spiritual elixirs and wonderful medicines. Otherwise, with my four spiritual roots' qualifications as a disciple, even if I were diligent in cultivation, how could I have hoped for this day?"

  Zhao nodded and said, "Let's return to the cave mansion and discuss this in detail. What major events could have occurred on the island over these thirty years?" Although Zhao didn't seem to make any movement, he was already floating in mid-air and slowly flew towards the entrance of the cave mansion.

  "The disciple indeed has a few things to settle with his master!" The young man in white robes flew closely behind Zhao Di.

  Not long after, in the cave house by the edge of the extremely small Spiritual Eye Spring, Zhao Di and Shi Shuo were sitting on two stone chairs talking. On the stone table in front of them, there were two jade bottles, one green and one red, each only a few inches tall.

  "Could it be that these two things were personally sent to this Luojia Island by Mengli Xianzi herself?" Zhao's heart was quite unsettled.

  The young man in white robes said with unusual respect: "That's right! To mention it, Master instructed his disciples to quietly inquire about the news of Meng Li before he left. However, after the disciple successfully broke through the bottleneck and left Lianhua Island, the island master Tian He of Xingxing Island issued a wanted order, offering a large reward for Meng Li's capture. The disciple was afraid of implicating Master, so he didn't dare to ask about Meng Li's news, but instead returned to Lianhua Island to continue his cultivation."

  However, not long after, more than a decade ago, when the disciple was cultivating in the cave, a masked senior from the Golden Elixir stage suddenly entered the cave without any effort and requested to see the master through voice transmission. Since the sound symbol left behind had the name of Meng Li elder, the disciple took the liberty to welcome this senior out of the cave.

  "After the disciple revealed his identity and explained that his master had gone out to find a place with dense spiritual energy to break through the bottleneck of the Dan, this Senior Mengli handed over these two treasures to the disciple, saying they were very useful for breaking through the Dan. If Master can use them, please pass them on to you."

  "The disciple also revealed to her that the master intended to find her whereabouts, but this Dream Rui senior asked me to tell the master that she was in a difficult situation, often dodging and hiding, and it was really inconvenient to leave any clues or addresses, please don't worry about it!"

  The young man detailed the process of how Dream Lian came to the island to deliver a treasure to Zhao Di, while secretly observing his master's expression. As expected, he saw that although Zhao Di's face remained unchanged, his eyes revealed a very concerned look. "It seems I was right, Master and this Dream Lian senior indeed have a deep relationship; Master is so concerned about this person and specially ordered me to secretly investigate the other party's news. And the other party, under heavy reward, dared to take risks and came here to deliver treasure to Master, obviously also having a deep affection!" The young man thought to himself with a slight smile on his lips.
