Firefly Journey

"It's done."

In a small apartment in Hangzhou, Lin Yuanran, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, slowly opened his eyes.

After obtaining the Seven Flame Lotus from the Fire Cloud Sect, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation. With the rewards from Wang Lingguan, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

Finally, two years later, he broke through to the early stage of the Jade Pool Realm.

Seemingly sensing the change in his magical power, the wind chimes in the kitchen put down what they were doing and came out.

Seeing the smile that Lin Yuanran couldn't hide, Fengling knew what had happened. She praised him, "Two years, and you finally did it."

Lin Yuanran said, "In the path of cultivation, the higher the realm, the harder it is to advance. I took two years to advance from the late stage of the Void Travel realm to the early stage of the Jade Pool realm. To others, that might seem astonishing, but your blessing only makes me feel mocked..."

You can't blame Lin Yuanran for thinking that way.

Firstly, Fengling never holds back when it comes to words. Although she has been very restrained since being with Lin Yuanran and rarely criticizes him, habits are not so easy to change, and she will relapse every few days.

Lin Yuanran was already used to this and it wasn't a big deal. However, Feng Ling's talent was simply beyond human capabilities. A year ago, she had already broken through to the Jade Pool Realm, much faster than Lin Yuanran.

"To celebrate your breakthrough, you can decide what we eat today." Fengling sat down on the sofa.

Lin Yuanran asked, "Really?"

Back at the apartment, Fengling took over most of the cooking. Lin Yuanran would eat whatever she cooked.

Strangely enough, since returning, Fengling seems to have awakened her inner strength, learning to cook more and more dishes, becoming a veritable master chef.

What Lin Yuanran didn't know was that Fengling, who had stayed at Erlai Peak for a long time, had become fascinated with that kind of cooking life; perhaps she was a tranquil person at heart.

"real."

"Then I'll have..." Lin Yuanran pretended to think for a moment, "Crucian carp with tofu, steamed eggplant, and potatoes with mutton."

Feng Ling frowned. Lin Yuanran thought he had said something wrong and asked, "Is it not allowed?"

Wind Chime shook her head: "It's possible, but they're too simple and boring."

I see……

Then, Wind Chime added, "Suddenly, I feel that the ingredients in this world are quite boring."

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

In the past two years, the two of them have cooked the common ingredients, wind chimes, to death in various ways, and have also searched everywhere for the less common ones.

In short, it's boring!

Fengling said, "There are tens of millions of magical beasts on the ancient continent, especially sea beasts, many of which have not yet been discovered by humans."

His words seemed to be boasting about that other world, but Lin Yuanran could tell there was something else going on.

“I haven’t been back to my hometown since I went to St. Louis. Now that I think about it, it’s been five or six years. I wonder if time flows the same there as it does here.”

Although they were unwilling to be summoned to another world, it wasn't a bad experience after all. Both Lin Yuanran and Feng Ling had bonds in that world.

Now that I'm back, of course I can't help but think about what happened there, just like when I was in the Pan-Ancient Continent, I was always thinking about coming back.

"You stay here, I'm going out to buy groceries," Fengling said.

"You don't need me?"

"No need for you."

Lin Yuanran smiled and said, "Alright, I'll take a rest then."

At first, Fengling's Chinese wasn't very good, and her communication had an awkward quality. Some of the words were simply incomprehensible. But as time went on, she became fluent and had no difficulty communicating with people.

Now, his pronunciation is even more standard than Lin Yuanran's.

After sitting in meditation for several months, Lin Yuanran was indeed very tired. He lay down on the sofa and took out his phone.

The first thing to do, of course, is to check the group messages.

Lin Yuanran grew to like that amazing group more and more.

Without it, Lin Yuanran's cultivation would probably be much slower than it is now, and he is not worried about what the group leader would do to him. After all, if he were going to do something, he would have done it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

If the other party could pull Lin Yuanran into a group chat that he couldn't leave, they must also have the ability to directly eliminate him. But so far, nothing has happened, which proves that the other party really has no intention of harming him.

"Fellow Daoists, I've broken through to a higher realm!"

"congratulations."

"awesome."

"Not bad, just three months later than me."

The last sentence is "purple aura flows eastward".

Lin Yuanran was taken aback, then quickly realized what he meant and said, "You mean, you've also reached the Jade Pool Realm?"

"right!"

Lin Yuanran's smugness vanished instantly. If he remembered correctly, when he first joined the group, Chi Liuzi was only at the Kaiyang Realm, right? More than two years later, she was on par with him??

They even broke through the barrier earlier than I did.

Damn, her talent is comparable to Feng Ling's. However... that mysterious group leader is her brother, so this kind of breakthrough speed isn't that rare. After all, it seems that her mysterious brother is some powerful figure, so it's normal for him to bless his relatives.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Sister Zi. Without your recommendation to Wang Lingguan, I wouldn't have been able to get those good things."

"It's alright, we're all brothers in the same group, why be so polite?"

"Um……"

"I'm telling you, you're really not being fair. She just gave you a chance, and you're already grateful. But I gave you a task and a reward, and I don't even deserve to have my name mentioned?"

Are gods all so free? They even have time to browse group chats.

After making a brief complaint, Lin Yuanran quickly replied, "What are you saying, Spirit Officer? Some favors are best kept in the heart; it would be insincere to say them out loud."

"You're good at talking, kid!"

Chi Liuzi said, "Little Linzi, don't be afraid of him. He's just a lackey of the Heavenly Court! Issuing missions is just a way for him to curry favor with the Jade Emperor. Why thank him?"

"He should thank you! If it weren't for you and your friend solving the problem of a large number of missing female cultivators, he would probably be scolded to death by the Jade Emperor."

Wang Lingguan was quite helpless. The group owner had invited him to join, but in fact, he was the Jade Emperor's top general. He couldn't understand why the group owner would do such a thing.

After all, the existence of this group chat was something the Jade Emperor was extremely wary of. Letting Him in would be like planting someone else's eyes and ears on himself.

"You guys chat, just pretend I don't exist!"

To be honest, Wang Lingguan has been scolded a lot in the group over the years, but he has never been really angry. Sometimes he even feels that the atmosphere in the group is quite good.

If He hadn't been deeply trusted by the Jade Emperor, He wouldn't have wanted to be this spy. Actually, He couldn't really be called a spy, because the group only talked about everyday matters and didn't plot anything that would harm the Heavenly Court.

Lin Yuanran couldn't help but burst out laughing. A high and mighty god being chased and scolded by a girl, and every time she came out to scold him, Wang Lingguan was truly invincible for being able to endure it.

"Little Zi, you must not be rude to Wang Lingguan."

Lin Yuanran was about to close the group chat when he suddenly saw a new message, which was sent by the group owner who had never spoken before!

This caused quite a stir, with a flood of replies appearing below.

Wang Lingguan: "The child doesn't know any better... I'm fine."

Professional dog owner: "Long time no see."

Nezha: "When shall we do it again?"

ticket?"

Gale and Rain: "Worship the boss..."

Wang Shu's colleague: "I admire the boss..."

The Buddha's teaching was: "You have become stronger again."

Purple Qi Flows East: "You're still alive??"

Lin Yuanran instinctively felt that something big might be about to happen.
