Chapter 1002: Seeing Lin Xian'er Again

Two months later.

Two and a half years have passed since Wang Jianqiang returned.

With the unlimited supply of Perfect Pills from Wang Jianqiang, the cultivation speed of the women increased explosively.

The cultivation bases of the eight women—Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, Liu Qing'er, Xing Li, Yun Xin, and Lin Lin—improved from the initial stage of the Ninth-Order Will Stage to the limit of the Ninth-Order Will Stage.

Qiu Shuang, Song Qiuyue, and Ye Qingxue also improved from their original Eighth-Order Will Stage to the Ninth-Order Will Stage, though all were only at the initial stage.

Huanxin successfully broke through the limit of the Ninth-Order Will Stage and officially stepped into the realm of the Tenth-Order Will Stage.

After Wang Jianqiang gave each of the eight women—Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, Liu Qing'er, Xing Li, Yun Xin, and Lin Lin—a portion of Perfect Thunder Origin Pills, Magic Treasures to deal with the Tribulation Lightning, and restorative pills.

He ordered people to specifically mark out eight sufficiently large uninhabited areas.

He then let the eight women enter the eight uninhabited areas to condense their primordial spirits and charge toward the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Three months later.

The eight women successively drew down the Transformation God Tribulation and began to undergo the Tribulation.

With the support of his pills and Magic Treasures, there was not the slightest accident during the women's Tribulation.

In the end, all eight successfully passed the Tribulation and returned to the Gentleman Alliance.

Because the eight women were anxious to refine the Creation Power within their bodies, they immediately began secluded cultivation after returning to the Gentleman Alliance.

Seeing that Dong Yue and the others had all successfully reached Spirit Transformation, Qiu Shuang, Song Qiuyue, and Ye Qingxue.

Had their competitive spirits stirred, and they also began secluded cultivation, vowing to reach the limit of the Ninth-Order Will Stage in one go.

Huanxin was also working twice as hard, striving to reach the extreme of the Tenth-Order Will Stage as soon as possible.

As for Mu Lingxi.

Three months ago, when he led Dong Yue and the other eight women to go and make their breakthroughs, he had already left the Gentleman Alliance and headed toward the old site of the Hehuan Sect.

That is where the ancestral hall of the Hehuan Sect is located.

After the Gentleman Alliance was rebuilt at the new site, because of the commemoration of the Hehuan Sect, it was not moved to the new site but was left at the old site of the Hehuan Sect.

She was going to the ancestral hall to pay respects to her relatives.

As of now.

Wang Jianqiang had instead become the most idle one.

He had been busy his whole life, rushing about for cultivation and exerting himself for his friends.

He was not very accustomed to this kind of idle life.

After accumulating Cultivation Points for a month through Alchemy.

The bored Wang Jianqiang checked the Necklace Space at his neck, and upon seeing that Lan Nianbing was also working hard to recover, he thought for a moment and ultimately did not disturb her.

He rose and walked toward the door.

He prepared to end his seclusion and take a good look around the Gentleman Alliance.

Come to think of it.

Since returning to the Gentleman Alliance, he really hadn't taken a good look at this new sect site.

After leaving his residence.

Wang Jianqiang strode forward with his head held high, walking through the Gentleman Alliance.

His steps were steady, his expression dignified, and he was imposing without being angry.

It was just like a male lion patrolling its territory.

Wherever he passed along the way, whether it was a Gentleman Alliance Disciple, Deacon, or Elder...

Upon seeing him, all bowed respectfully.

They addressed him as Supreme Elder.

Walking along the way, Wang Jianqiang's mood became increasingly bright, and the corners of his mouth gradually became hard to suppress.

In the center of a Square, a tall tower stood.

This is currently the most popular Training Ground for sect members within the Gentleman Alliance.

Inside the high tower, there exist numerous Puppets.

A portion of the Puppets contain cultivation resources within their bodies, which can be obtained by defeating the Puppets.

It is rumored that every piece of cultivation resource here was left behind by Supreme Elder Wang Jianqiang back then.

As for the truth of this news, the disciples do not know.

But what everyone knows is that the overall quality of the treasures in this tower is the highest among all the Training Grounds in the Gentleman Alliance.

It is precisely because of this that this tower has become the most popular Training Ground in the Gentleman Alliance.

Every day, a large number of disciples gather here, lining up to enter the tower.

On this day.

As usual, a large number of disciples gathered in the Square.

Everyone's attention was focused on the tower gate.

In their eyes, there was nothing but amazement.

"I didn't expect that the Elder guarding the tower gate today would actually be changed to this Elder!"

"Tsk tsk, Elder Lin, this is a famous beautiful Elder in our Gentleman Alliance, and she cultivates extremely diligently; most of the time she is in secluded cultivation, so she is rarely seen on ordinary days!"

"She is worthy of being the recognized goddess Elder; she is indeed beautiful!"

"If I could find such a powerful and beautiful Dao Companion, it would be worth living a hundred years less."

While paying attention to the stunning figure beside the tower gate, everyone excitedly whispered their thoughts to the people beside them.

Although the crowd's voices were soft, they did not escape the perception of that Elder Lin beside the tower gate.

Facing the crowd's discussion, she merely frowned slightly, and then her expression returned to its usual coldness.

Hum~

Just at this moment.

From within the tower gate, a figure walked out with a face full of joy.

Seeing this, Elder Lin looked indifferently at the person at the very front of the queue.

"You, go in."

Hearing this, that person nodded, "Yes."

After speaking, they entered the high tower.

After that person entered the high tower, Lin Xian'er's gaze swept across the long queue in the Square.

Every Disciple who came into contact with her cold gaze stopped whispering and stood straight.

Just as Elder Lin's gaze swept past the very back of the queue and touched the edge of the Square.

She suddenly saw a figure walking past the edge of the Square, heading into the distance.

The moment she saw that figure, the expression on her cold face suddenly went blank.

Seeing that the figure was about to walk far away, she finally came back to her senses.

A flash of Spirit Light shone from her body, and her entire person suddenly vanished.

The many Disciples who had been keeping an eye on Elder Lin were all stunned to see her suddenly disappear.

They immediately looked at each other in dismay.

When Wang Jianqiang passed by the Square, his footsteps did not pause in the slightest, and he continued walking forward.

Just after he passed the Square and walked a further distance, he seemed to have sensed something.

His footsteps paused, and he looked toward the location of a large tree at his side, speaking indifferently.

"Come out."

After his voice fell.

Beside the large tree, a flash of Spirit Light flickered.

A figure appeared.

It was precisely that Elder Lin from before.

Seeing this figure, Wang Jianqiang said indifferently, "Lin Xian'er, long time no see."

Lin Xian'er looked at Wang Jianqiang, a trace of complexity flashing across her face, "Master."

"Master?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Lin Xian'er with a half-smile, "You still recognize me as your master; that truly makes me feel honored."

Lin Xian'er's expression stiffened.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Alright, no need to force yourself."

"I know you have always been resistant to becoming my handmaiden; the reason I bound you back then was merely for self-preservation."

"Now, you and I are people of two different worlds, and I have no need to bind you any longer."

After speaking, he reached out and pointed at Lin Xian'er.

A streak of Spirit Light flew out from between Lin Xian'er's brows.

Lin Xian'er felt her Soul loosen, as if she had been freed from some kind of restraint.

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm.

The Spirit Light dissipated.

He looked at Lin Xian'er with a calm expression, showing neither joy nor anger, "I have helped you remove the restraint I left upon you; now, you are free."

"As for whether you continue to stay in the Junzi Sect, you may decide for yourself."

After speaking, he had no intention of waiting for Lin Xian'er's response and prepared to continue walking forward.

Lin Xian'er looked at Wang Jianqiang's back, her expression suddenly becoming complex.
