Time slipped by quietly, and two months had passed in the blink of an eye.
Elder Qingfeng and the others did not disturb Li Xuan, and even concealed any news about him. After all, Li Xuan's identity was too sensitive for this border town to bear.
In fact, Elder Qingfeng and the others had not told Li Xuan that ever since Li Jun and the Domain Lord set up that spirit array, the foreign races had regarded Li Jun as their top enemy. If not for Li Jun's powerful strength, he would have long been ambushed by the foreign race experts.
Li Xuan, however, was different. Although he possessed the strength to instantly kill peak Dao Attainment Realm experts, in the foreign races, peak Dao Attainment Realm was merely at the lower tier. If Li Xuan were to be captured to threaten Li Jun, the consequences would be something the Li family could not bear.
*Creak.*
With the sound of a door opening, Li Xuan, who had been in seclusion for over two months, emerged from the secret chamber.
Elder Qingfeng, who had been closely watching Li Xuan, immediately appeared before him.
"Has Young Master finished his seclusion?" Elder Qingfeng asked Li Xuan with a hint of surprise. After all, for most Spirit Masters, seclusion lasted at least half a year, or even a year or more. Some powerful individuals would even remain in seclusion for decades or even centuries.
Li Xuan emerging after only two months of seclusion was indeed too fast.
Of course, this was also because Elder Qingfeng was unaware of Li Xuan's possession of the Zhenyu Ring.
Li Xuan gave a wry smile and shook his head slightly. "Apart from some unexpected circumstances, I was not adequately prepared. By the way, Elder Qingfeng, are there any merchant guilds in the city?"
Li Xuan was feeling somewhat helpless at the moment. The hundred divine swords given to him by Luo Xuan had nearly eighty consumed during his previous seclusion. And this time, after absorbing the remaining divine swords, his strength had only improved to the advanced Dao Attainment Realm.
Although Li Xuan's dantian had recovered and could now absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even spirit stones could provide him with a large amount of spiritual energy, this speed was naturally not as fast as the Sword Body forged by the woman in yellow, Liuli, consumed.
"This is a border town in the frontier. What merchant guild would dare to establish a branch here? However, our Li family's branch does have some resources. What does Young Master require?" Elder Qingfeng shook his head and asked.
Li Xuan thought for a moment and then shook his head. "Never mind, it's fine."
Although Li Xuan wanted to ask if the Li family's branch had any divine swords, he gave up on the thought. Even if they did, the quantity would likely not be right, as divine swords were not common items.
After all, in the vast Four-Dimensional Space, Luo Xuan had only managed to collect a hundred of them. Furthermore, the Li family had already shown him kindness, and it would be too difficult to ask them for more now.
Even if one were to reap benefits, one couldn't just keep draining the same sheep dry.
Li Xuan understood that although the people at the Li family's branch were all polite to him, it was mainly because he had protected Li Na and Li Wei and the others later on. Without them, how could Li Xuan have recovered his memories so quickly?
"If Young Master needs anything, just say the word," Elder Qingfeng said immediately upon seeing this.
Elder Qingfeng knew that being able to help Li Xuan at this moment was a great opportunity for the Li family.
Putting aside Li Xuan's father, Li Jun, the owner of the Starfall Auction House, just the fact that Li Xuan could unconsciously kill a peak Dao Attainment Realm foreign race expert while only in the Dao Control Realm was enough to show Li Xuan's terrifying potential and talent.
His future path was bound to soar. Establishing a good relationship with a peerless expert before they had fully grown was a sure-win transaction.
Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand. "No need. After this period of seclusion, I have managed to thoroughly stabilize my cultivation. Next, it is time for me to head to Weiyang City."
Hearing Li Xuan's intention to leave, Elder Qingfeng felt a surge of nervousness, mixed with some regret.
"Young Master has just emerged from seclusion. Why not freshen up, and I'll make some arrangements? We shall prepare a farewell for Young Master," Elder Qingfeng said.
Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then nodded. Since he had decided to leave, he naturally had to bid farewell to Li Na and the others.
Seeing this, Elder Qingfeng gestured to the side. Li Xuan nodded slightly and walked out.
Soon, after Li Xuan had washed up, Elder Qingfeng and the others had prepared a large table of delicacies.
Although Spirit Masters did not need to eat, many rituals were still observed like those of mortals. Moreover, occasionally enjoying delicious food could satisfy cravings and indulge the palate.
"Thank you all for your trouble," Li Xuan said with a hint of apology, cupping his fists.
Li Na and the others immediately rose and returned the bow. "Young Master is too kind. Please take the seat of honor."
Under the persistent insistence of Elder Qingfeng and the others, Li Xuan reluctantly took the upper seat. After some pleasantries, everyone began to pick up their chopsticks.
After three rounds of wine and five courses of food.
Li Xuan glanced at Li Shang and Li Cong standing not far away. Then, a thought struck him, and he picked up three wine cups, poured wine, and walked over to the two of them.
"Li Cong, Li Shang, you don't mind having a drink with me, do you?" Li Xuan poured three cups of wine and then smiled at them.
"This..." Li Cong and Li Shang were both taken aback. After exchanging a glance, they nodded in unison. "Of course, we don't mind."
Ever since Elder Qingfeng had cautioned Li Cong and Li Shang, they naturally understood the difference in their status.
They never harbored the thought of interacting with someone who had saved their lives. Now, Li Xuan had taken the initiative to approach them, which truly moved them.
"That's good then. Come, let's finish this," Li Xuan said with a smile, raising his wine cup and drinking it down in one gulp.
Li Cong and Li Shang followed suit, raising their cups and drinking them in one go.
Li Na and the others did not interrupt, but their gaze towards Li Xuan became even more respectful. To possess such status yet still be willing to drink with disciples of minor factions like Li Cong and Li Shang, it demonstrated his broad-mindedness.
"I have nothing else of value on me, but it wouldn't be right to leave without giving a gift," Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand, causing two immortal swords to appear before him.
"Immortal Swords!" The pupils of Li Shang and Li Cong constricted. Although immortal swords were not top-tier items in the Central Region, at their status, they had no right to possess one.
For a moment, both of them found their mouths dry and swallowed hard. However, the eagerness in their eyes quickly subsided.
"Young Master, we cannot accept them," Li Cong and Li Shang said firmly after exchanging glances.
Li Xuan shrugged helplessly. "Do you dislike their low level? If you don't mind, then please accept them."
Before Li Cong and Li Shang could reply, Li Xuan waved his hand, and two spatial rings floated before them.
"When I, Li Xuan, give gifts, I dislike people being pushy. Be decisive and accept them." Li Xuan's voice echoed. Li Cong and Li Shang let out wry smiles, then nodded with a sense of relief and accepted them.
"I, Li Xuan, will always remember the kindness of the Li family. If I have the leisure in the future, I will certainly visit again. I hope that at that time, you will not find me a bother."
Li Xuan looked at Li Na and the others, then waved his hand, sending a spatial ring flying towards Li Na.
"A small token of my appreciation. I hope you will all accept it. The martial world is vast, and it is fate that brings us together!"
Li Xuan's voice resonated. By the time everyone recovered their senses, Li Xuan had already vanished.
"This..." Li Na looked at Elder Qingfeng and the others with a helpless expression.
"Young Lady, please accept it. For someone of that caliber, owing a favor would naturally affect one's state of mind. Moreover, that young master has already left, and we likely won't be able to catch up," Elder Qingfeng said with a wry smile.
Li Na nodded slightly, then reached out and accepted it. When her divine sense probed the ring, her expression changed. Immediately, Li Na handed the spatial ring to Elder Qingfeng and the other two.
The three looked surprised, and then they also probed the ring with their divine senses. However, very soon, their expressions changed drastically.
"This... a spirit treasure?!"
