Rebirth of Jinxuan

The array surrounding the Nine Nether Ice Grass is the most complex; a slight mistake could trigger the mechanism.

Lu Jinxuan held her breath and carefully approached, her slender fingers deftly prying open layers of restrictions, finally managing to take the last spiritual herb into her possession.

"It's done!" She breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of satisfaction spreading across her face.

"Madam Lu is indeed amazing!" Qingfeng watched in awe, his admiration for Lu Jinxuan growing even stronger.

Just then, a child's voice broke the tranquility of the herb field: "Mother! I'm hungry!"

Lu Yuhang had somehow run into the herb field. He nimbly moved between the array formations, like a light deer, and in the blink of an eye, he pounced into Lu Jinxuan's arms.

Upon seeing this, Qingfeng was shocked: "How...how did this child get in? He didn't even trigger the formation!" Even he was wary of the formation in the herb field, so it was unbelievable that a child could break in unscathed!

Lu Jinxuan affectionately patted Lu Yuhang's head and smiled, "Hang'er must be starving, right? Let's go back now." She turned to Qingfeng and said, "Hall Master, let's go."

It was already late when the three returned to the alchemy hall.

The cafeteria was brightly lit and filled with delicious aromas.

Muwei was serving everyone a meal when she saw them return. She quickly stood up to greet them, saying, "Madam Lu, Master Qingfeng, you're finally back! Everyone was starving!"

It turns out that today is a farewell banquet for Tan Tongen, a disciple of the Alchemy Hall.

Tan Tongen was about to go abroad for further studies, and everyone held a farewell party for him.

The table was laden with a sumptuous feast, including fragrant roasted meat, delicious fish soup, and a variety of exquisite pastries, a dazzling array of dishes.

Led by Muwei, everyone had already started eating, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

"Mommy, I want to eat meat!" Lu Yuhang pointed at the roast meat on the table, his mouth practically watering.

Lu Jinxuan smiled and picked up a piece for him.

Qingfeng sat down next to Lu Jinxuan.

Looking at the lively scene before him, he couldn't help but sigh: This alchemy hall has become more and more vibrant since Madam Lu came.

Muwei raised his wine glass and said loudly, "Come, let's raise a glass to Tongen and wish him a safe journey and a successful return after completing his studies!"

Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison, "Wishing Tan Tongen a safe journey and a successful return after completing his studies!"

Amidst clinking glasses and laughter, the atmosphere in the cafeteria became even more lively.

At this moment, Senior Sister Zhu Fu's gaze fell on Qing Yuan, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She slowly got up, walked to Qian Feng's side, picked up Lu Yuhang, and asked gently, "Little guy, who is that older sister next to you?" Lu Yuhang blinked his big eyes, looked at Qing Yuan, then at Zhu Fu, and answered in a childish voice, "This is Sister Qing Yuan, she's very powerful!" As he spoke, he imitated Qing Yuan's usual wary movements, making everyone laugh.

Zhang Yuxi had been silently observing the situation. Seeing Zhu Fu's interest in Qingyuan, she said, "Qingyuan, come here for a moment." Qingyuan, who had been hiding in the shadows, appeared in front of everyone in a flash upon hearing Zhang Yuxi's call.

Dressed in all black with a cold and aloof expression, she stood out from the lively atmosphere around her, making her seem even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Zhu Fu and Qing Yuan stood facing each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Zhu Fu wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

She had never seen such a cold and beautiful woman before, and for a moment she was somewhat stunned.

People around began to whisper among themselves, speculating about Zhu Fu's feelings for Qing Yuan.

Seeing this, Ai Xi laughed and teased, "Senior Sister, could it be that you've taken a fancy to our Qing Yuan?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu's face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears. She glared at Ai Xi reproachfully, but did not deny it.

Then, Zhu Fu took out a black crystal jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Qing Yuan, saying, "This is for you." The black crystal jade pendant shimmered with a dim light under the lamp, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

Qingyuan looked at the pendant in front of her, a barely perceptible glint flashing in her eyes...

She held out her hand.
