Chapter 961: Great Opportunity

The next three days.

The Beast Taming Sect held a grand banquet to celebrate the safe return of Wan Guiyuan.

At the banquet.

Wen Tiansheng publicly announced the fall and merits of Lu Xiu, and together with all the Cultivators in Wenxian City, observed a moment of silence for them.

Afterward, the festive atmosphere continued.

The banquet lasted for three consecutive days before it ended.

What left the Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect somewhat regretful was that Wan Guiyuan seemed to have suddenly encountered an important opportunity for cultivation, and had begun seclusion immediately after returning, failing to appear even when the banquet concluded.

This left a crowd of admirers deeply disappointed.

Two more days passed.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of his room with a smile on his face.

He had just stepped out of the doorway.

His vision suddenly blurred, followed immediately by a sensation of weightlessness.

When the weightlessness vanished and his vision cleared, he discovered that he had already arrived in a quiet room.

In the room, an exquisite tea table was placed, and a figure was sitting beside the table.

Seeing this figure, Wang Jianqiang grinned.

Just as he was about to speak.

"Cut the nonsense, getting down to business is what matters."

Xuan Ji suddenly stood up and walked behind the screen.

At the same time.

A force had already enveloped Wang Jianqiang's entire body, and his body uncontrollably followed behind Xuan Ji, drifting toward the back of the screen.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

He hurriedly activated Life Replication and took out a Sublimation Pill to swallow.

Five days later.

Wang Jianqiang returned to the main hall with a somewhat weary expression, leaning against the back of a chair as he sat down.

"Daoist Friend Wan."

Just as he sat on the chair, a delicate voice reached his ears.

Wang Jianqiang looked up and saw that Liu Yanran had already arrived by his side.

Looking at Liu Yanran's beautiful figure.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, and he stood back up while holding the back of the chair, "Yanran, it has been a long time. Let's go inside and have a good talk, and while we're at it, I'll help you purify your foundation."

Liu Yanran was startled, "Daoist Friend Wan, your condition..."

"How about tomorrow?"

"No need to worry, I can still hold on."

Another five days passed.

Wang Jianqiang took small, light steps as he returned to the main hall.

He sat on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just as he was preparing to close his eyes for a short rest.

He suddenly sensed that the Array outside his residence had been triggered.

His expression froze.

His Spirit Sense merged into the residence's Array, and he saw the scene outside the door.

At this moment, two figures were waiting outside the gate of his residence.

Seeing those two figures outside the door, his expression froze.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face.

Long Er, Wen Ya?

With a thought, he opened the gate to his residence.

Not long after.

The two figures appeared before Wang Jianqiang.

Seeing these two figures, the corners of Wang Jianqiang's mouth curled up, and he spoke softly, "Senior Sister Wen Ya, Fairy Long Er, long time no see."

Wen Ya nodded gently.

Long Er walked to Wang Jianqiang's side in a few quick steps, her face full of joy, "Daoist Friend Wan, I knew you wouldn't meet with any mishap."

"When I first heard about your fall, it scared me to death."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

His gaze paused on the two of them, discovering that their cultivation had grown much stronger again.

Although they had not yet broken through to the Spirit Transformation Late Stage, they were already close to the Transformation to Divinity Mid Stage Peak.

They were not far from a breakthrough.

The smile on his face immediately became a bit richer, "Congratulations to Senior Sister Wen Ya and Fairy Long Er for your great progress in cultivation."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Wen Ya smiled faintly, "That our cultivation could improve so quickly is all thanks to Junior Brother Wan's Pill."

"Senior Sister Wen Ya, you are being too formal by saying that." Wang Jianqiang shook his head, then revealed a teasing look, "Besides, Senior Sister Wen Ya didn't take them for nothing, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ya seemed to think of something, and her face flushed red.

"Daoist Friend Wan, why do you look so weak? Is it because the injuries you sustained on the Outer Realm Battlefield have not yet healed?"

Just then, Long Er's gaze fixed on Wang Jianqiang's face; seeing the pallor and exhaustion revealed there, a look of worry appeared on her pretty face.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ya reacted immediately, and after noticing the weakness in Wang Jianqiang's expression, she also revealed a look of worry.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Indeed, some injuries have not yet healed, but it is no longer a serious matter."

Wen Ya and Long Er both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"It is good that you are fine."

Long Er's eyes darted around, and she blinked at Wang Jianqiang without a trace, "Weren't we still owing a debt to Daoist Friend Wan? Sister Wen Ya wants to repay some of it; does Daoist Friend Wan have the time?"

Wen Ya's face turned completely red, "Long Er, I only said I came to see Junior Brother Wan; when did I ever say that?"

Long Er giggled, "I know Sister Wen Ya doesn't like to owe favors, I guessed it."

Long Er's words struck directly at Wen Ya's weak spot.

She truly did not like to owe favors.

Having constantly owed a debt to Wan Guiyuan, she always felt it was somewhat improper, and she indeed had been thinking of paying it off as soon as possible.

She hesitated for a moment, no longer continuing to refute, but instead looked at Wang Jianqiang with a red face, "Junior Brother Wan, you..."

"Is it convenient?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "I happen to have not practiced that technique for a while."

"Since Senior Sister Wen Ya has come, let us practice it."

Wen Ya lowered her head, not daring to meet Wang Jianqiang's eyes, and nodded gently.

Two hours later.

Wen Ya walked out of the room with a red face.

After another period of time, Wang Jianqiang returned to the main hall.

"Junior Brother Wan, we are leaving first."

Wen Ya stood up with a red face and bid farewell to Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang did not respond immediately, but instead fell into deep thought.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's expression, Wen Ya was startled and revealed a look of confusion, "Junior Brother Wan, is there something the matter?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and as if having made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Sister Wen Ya, you and Fairy Long Er are the people closest to me in this Beast Taming Sect. I have a great opportunity, and after careful consideration, I have decided to bestow it upon you both."

"It is just that, to obtain this opportunity, the process is rather... um, cumbersome."

"I wonder if Senior Sister Wen Ya and Fairy Long Er are interested."

Hearing Wan Guiyuan's words, Wen Ya was startled.

Before Wen Ya could speak, Long Er had already asked curiously, "What kind of opportunity?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "An opportunity that can purify one's foundation and improve the potential of one's Root Bone."
