Shang Shixu hurried back to the palace, thinking to himself: Even though I had revealed to everyone in advance that there might be a sudden disappearance, my family must still be worried.

This round trip only took one day. For convenience, she specially placed a teleportation talisman in her bedroom so that she could reach her destination as fast as lightning.

When she was teleported to the bedroom, the clock pointed to noon. She gently pushed open the door of the bedroom, but there was no one in sight.

"Spring branches, summer cicadas, autumn music, eastern fence..." She called everyone's name softly, but the only response she got was deathly silence.

"Princess, Princess, you're back." Chunzhi's voice was like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, and she cried out in surprise.

Later, Shang Shixu learned that several people were looking for him again. Chunzhi thought of coming back to try her luck, but she didn't expect to really see her.

Shang Shixu told everyone about his experience in Ghost Mountain. The thrilling beginning was frightening, but when people heard the story of Xuewei and Youming, they couldn't help but cry.

Shang Shixu had to rush back to Yunqing Sect to liberate the souls of more than thirty people. Her Time Sword could not hold out for long. With Xue Suya and others reluctant to let her go, Shang Shixu rode on the sword and left the palace.

Shang Shixu sped all the way and finally arrived at Yunqing Sect. She called a few disciples to help and prepared to hold a salvation ceremony. In the solemn atmosphere, Shang Shixu waved the Shixu Sword, chanting something, and rays of light shot out from the sword, covering those souls.

As the salvation process progressed, a look of peace gradually appeared on the faces of the souls. Their souls were liberated and slowly dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Thank you." Xuewei's soul said.

Youming also came out and bowed to her: "Thank you, young lady."

Shang Shixu smiled and said, "You two are welcome. I hope you can spend your lives together again in the next life."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone's soul floated to the underworld.

After the memorial service was over, Shang Shixu sat on the ground tiredly, feeling filled with emotion. She hoped that the deceased could rest in peace. After this, she seemed to understand something.

At this time, a breeze blew, bringing with it the fresh scent of the mountains and forests. Shang Shixu looked up and saw the sky was as blue as a clear sky. The sun shone on her, warm and peaceful.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and all the disciples who had gone down the mountain for training had returned to the sect. After a year of trials and tribulations, everyone had matured a lot and had a personal understanding of the significance of cultivation.

The Yunqing Sect specially granted its disciples a one-month vacation.

"Master, Master!"

Li Tianyu and Lin Luoshui, who had just returned to Yunqing Sect, could not hide their excitement and knocked on Shang Shixu's door in a hurry.

Shang Shixu practiced until late last night and had only slept for less than an hour when he cast a spell impatiently, and the two people outside the door were instantly frozen.

"It's over!"

Lin Luoshui and Li Tianyu looked at each other and groaned in their hearts that they had disturbed their master's rest again.

An hour later, Shang Shixu finally woke up. He waved his sleeves lightly and the door of the room opened immediately.

Shang Shixu teleported in front of the two of them.

"Master, you finally woke up!" Lin Luoshui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Li Tianyu sighed and said, "Master, if you don't wake up, there will be no food tonight!"

Shang Shixu released the two of them from the immobilization spell and said with a smile, "Master just wanted to test what you have gained from going down the mountain this year. I didn't expect that you are still so impatient."

Shang Shixu observed the changes around Lin Luoshui and showed an admiring look on his face: "Luoshui's magic power has indeed improved a lot. He has already entered the foundation-building stage!"

"Yes, Master!" Lin Luoshui couldn't help but be happy.

Li Tianyu asked anxiously: "Master, why don't you ask me?"

"You were in the foundation-building stage before you came down the mountain, and you are still in the foundation-building stage now." Shang Shixu said with a smile.

"Master, I have made great progress. I am about to break through the foundation-building stage and enter the golden elixir realm!" Li Tianyu replied hurriedly.

Shang Shixu laughed: "Master, I am joking with you! You have made rapid progress this year and have already reached the ninth stage of foundation building."

"Master, I heard that all the major sects are going to jointly hold an Immortal Alliance Conference?" Lin Luoshui asked Shang Shixu with curiosity.

Shang Shixu nodded slightly to express his affirmation: "Yes."

Li Tianyu, who was standing by, immediately became excited after hearing the news. He widened his eyes and said, "I heard that only the best from all the major sects can participate! This conference will definitely be very exciting!"

Shang Shixu responded calmly: "Well, it should be pretty good."

At this time, Li Tianyu couldn't hold back his excitement and continued to ask: "Master, will you attend this Immortal Alliance Conference?"

Shang Shixu shook his head slightly and replied calmly, "I don't like the kind of fighting and killing scenes, and I am not interested in the competition method where the victory or defeat is determined by the level of cultivation."

Hearing Master say this, Li Tianyu was a little disappointed, but still nodded in understanding: "Oh, so that's how it is..."

During the one-month rest period, Shang Shixu took the two of them to Kyoto to meet his relatives, and finally returned to Yunqing Sect with Shang Qianyue and the other four. After Yun Zhilan came out of seclusion, the Immortal Alliance Conference was about to be held, and the venue for this Immortal Alliance Conference was Yunqing Sect.

The entire Yunqing Sect was extremely busy. They split open a new mountain top to receive people who came to attend the Immortal Alliance Conference. After all, the Yunqing Sect was vast and rich in resources, so it was no problem to build one or two palaces.

Shang Shixu was in charge of the construction of the venue for the conference. She was a Yuanying, but she was the supervisor because Yunqing Sect couldn't spare any manpower. All the senior brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters, were going to participate in the Immortal Alliance Conference, so she was the only one who could participate, so they had to let her supervise the construction of the venue.

When Shang Shixu was supervising the workers, he found a young man among them who was particularly conscientious in his work and placed every stone neatly.

She asked a few questions out of curiosity and learned that the young man's name was Lu Chen, and he was a villager from a village near Yunqing Sect.

Lu Chen dreams of becoming an immortal cultivator, but due to lack of qualifications, he has never been able to do so.

Shang Shixu saw Lu Chen secretly practicing swordsmanship during breaks several times.

Shang Shixu saw the determination and persistence in his eyes, and decided to help him.

"When meditating, you need to concentrate your mind and energy, keep your body straight like a pine tree, and breathe long and steady. Only then can you feel the spiritual energy flowing throughout your body." Shang Shixu murmured these words softly, then slowly walked out of the room.

Lu Chen, who was meditating, was startled when he heard Shang Shixu's voice. He opened his eyes quickly, stood up in a panic, and stammered, "Greetings...Greetings to the Lord of Shuiyue Palace. I just...just now..."

"No need to say more, I already know everything." Shang Shixu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Before she finished her words, her figure flashed and teleported in front of Lu Chen.

Before Lu Chen could react, Shang Shixu had already reached out and grabbed his collar and threw him into the air.

Then, she waved her hands, and powerful spiritual power surged out like a tide, fiercely slamming into Lu Chen who was unable to move in mid-air.

"what!"

Lu Chen screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

"Lu Chen knows he was wrong, please Palace Master, spare Lu Chen's life! Lu Chen has elderly people at home, please Palace Master, spare Lu Chen's life!" He begged bitterly.

Shang Shixu smiled and said softly, "Who said I want to take your life? Stretch out your right hand and let me see if there is anything wrong with your body."

Lu Chen stretched out his right hand doubtfully, and was immediately stunned. He found that there was spiritual power fluctuating in his palm: "This...what's going on?"

"I just used my spiritual power to clear your blocked spiritual roots. Now, you can practice." Shang Shixu replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Chen was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow. Shang Shixu quickly reached out to stop him.

"No need to kowtow, I don't like these red tapes. The reason I help you is because I see your filial piety and your persistence and passion in cultivation." Shang Shixu explained.

Lu Chen nodded repeatedly: "Palace Master's great kindness, Lu Chen will never forget it, I am willing to serve the Palace Master as a dog and horse to repay the Palace Master's kindness of rebirth."

"That's not necessary. When you go back, you should practice hard and use your strength to protect those who are weaker than you. That will be the best reward for me." Shang Shixu said earnestly.

Lu Chen bowed and responded: "Lu Chen obeys the orders of the Palace Master."

After a while, Lu Chen asked cautiously: "Palace Master, can Lu Chen ask you for a favor?"

"You say it."

"Lu Chen wants to take the Palace Master as his master. I wonder if the Palace Master will agree?"

Shang Shixu thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but you need to pass the test at the three-yearly cultivation conference held by Yunqing Sect next year before I can accept you as my disciple."

"Lu Chen will definitely do his best!" Lu Chen's eyes were full of determination.

"Go back and practice well. I will reserve a position for you as my third disciple." Shang Shixu said seriously.

"Yes." The person who answered had a firm tone, but his eyes could not hide the excitement.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye the project has been completed. Lu Chen also went down the mountain smoothly. Looking at the two towering and magnificent palaces in front of him and the huge and incomparable Linglong Terrace in the center, Lin Luoshui couldn't help but be deeply shocked.

"Master, you are amazing! You were able to build such a magnificent building in just one month. Moreover, this palace looks much more luxurious than the one owned by the Sect Leader!" Lin Luoshui said to Shang Shixu with amazement on his face.

Shang Shixu tapped her head gently and replied with a smile: "What do you know? This is not all Master's credit. The real heroes are actually those skilled craftsmen. Master just gave them a blueprint."

"No matter what, Master and those craftsmen are the best!" Lin Luoshui clapped his hands happily, expressing his sincere admiration and praise.

Then, she said with anticipation: "I really hope the Immortal Alliance Conference in three months will come soon!"

Shang Shixu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too."

At this time, Lin Luoshui suddenly asked curiously: "Master, wasn't you very interested in this kind of thing before? Why do you become so active now?" She blinked her big eyes, as if wanting to get an answer from Shang Shixu.

Shang Shixu raised his lips slightly, revealing a humble and polite smile, and said softly: "I really have no interest in this conference. However, once your uncles and uncles know that I will not participate, they will definitely come to me to learn from me. In this way, I am afraid that I will have a hard time in the next three months."

Hearing this, Lin Luoshui couldn't help but feel puzzled. He widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Is it really like this?"

She was obviously very surprised by what Shang Shixu said.

Shang Shixu replied calmly: "You will know tomorrow. When the time comes, you will naturally understand." Her tone was calm and firm, as if she already knew what might happen next.

The next morning, as soon as the sky in the east began to turn pale, Chi Xiao rushed to the gate of Shuiyue Palace impatiently.

The palace was very quiet at this time, but when he stepped in, he found that Lin Luoshui and Li Tianyu had already started practicing swordsmanship with each other.

Swords flashed and sword shadows intertwined. The two men moved swiftly and agilely, showing their superb skills in every move.
