Chapter 728: Chapter 700: Shen Han’s Great Opportunity for Us
It’s been almost a year since we last parted.
In this year, great changes have occurred at Xiaoyao Peak and the Yun Mansion.
The sect and the mansion were destroyed.
Once the top power in Great Wei, now it has fallen to such a state of decline.
In the courtyard, Shen Han held a cup of tea, saluting each elder.
Master Xingchuan’s injuries had mostly recovered.
However, Cen Yunzi and the others seemed to have chronic ailments, their injuries never fully healed.
"It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.
Although the home may be a bit simple, living here is certainly more comfortable than outside."
Master Xingchuan’s face showed a trace of kindness.
He always remembered the favor of Shen Han, for without the Pill gifted by Shen Han,
he, Master Xingchuan, would have already exhausted his life’s longevity.
"If possible, don’t leave home again.
We can live low-key here in Great Wei, and it would be bearable."
Shen Han bowed to Master Xingchuan and offered a cup of clear tea.
"With a sword hanging over one’s head, it’s impossible to live peacefully.
Essentially, this matter is a grudge between the Shen Family and me.
It was Shen Ao of the Shen Family who provoked the people from Tiger Peak Manor.
The blame lies with me, and I will handle all the trouble.
Please rest assured, Master. I, Shen Han, am not one to boast lightly.
The things I promise, I will accomplish. Within ten years, I will resolve all issues, and both Xiaoyao Peak and the Yun Mansion will be rebuilt."
Upon hearing Shen Han’s promise, Cen Yunzi beside him shook his head.
"Nowadays in Great Wei, how many people are willing to cultivate using the Old Method?
The younger generation fights tooth and nail to go to the Southern Heaven Continent to learn the New Method.
The young generation no longer values the Sword Dao of Xiaoyao Peak."
Hearing this, Shen Han immediately shook his head.
"If this New Method cultivation were truly so powerful, I should have long perished at the hands of Tiger Peak Manor’s subordinates.
In fact, at the same Realm, we who practice the Old Method are noticeably stronger than them."
As he spoke, Shen Han directly took out the "Great Tao Fusion Technique" and placed it in front of everyone.
"With loss comes gain.
The new cultivation system of the Southern Heaven Continent is essentially a borrowing.
Their every move, every Thought, is borrowing the Heaven and Earth’s Momentum.
It’s a completely different concept from our cultivation advancement.
They’re clever, taking shortcuts, so they advance faster on the cultivation path than us.
But they haven’t taken the right path from the start, and even if they enter the First Grade Realm, they merely become vassals between the Heaven and Earth Laws.
When we enter the First Grade Realm, we will definitely surpass them."
Shen Han spoke firmly, and upon hearing this, everyone else showed a bitter smile.
"Only you, this child, dare speak of stepping into the First Grade Realm.
We, who have cultivated for hundreds of years, find the First Grade Realm still a distant goal..."
Hearing this, Shen Han did not say anything further.
For them, the First Grade Realm was indeed too far away.
Everyone began chatting about some light-hearted trivial matters, and Shen Han shared his experiences in the Southern Heaven Continent with them.
During this time, Shen Han heard that the elder’s weapons and Treasures were damaged in the fight with You Wanying.
He then offered to borrow those broken Treasures to help repair them for everyone.
No one refused Shen Han’s proposal.
After the chat, the elders did not disturb Shen Han any further.
Shen Han was initially prepared to chat more with Madam Yun and Cailing, but was gently pushed to Shi Yuezhu’s side by the two.
Facing the kindness of others, Shen Han accepted it with composure.
The two strolled around leisurely together.
Perhaps to conceal her identity, Shi Yuezhu now wore plain clothes.
Her attire was exceedingly simple.
"Does it not look good?"
Seeing Shen Han staring at her, Shi Yuezhu smiled lightly and asked softly.
"They say looks are three parts appearance and seven parts dressing.
Missing those seven parts, it indeed doesn’t look as good as before."
Shi Yuezhu’s tone was as gentle as ever, like a spring breeze.
Hearing Shi Yuezhu’s words, Shen Han did not reply, he just continued gazing at her.
Watching her eyes, watching her smile...
"Is there something dirty on my face?"
Shi Yuezhu, feeling embarrassed under Shen Han’s gaze, gently wiped her face with her hand to alleviate the awkwardness.
Seeing her small actions, Shen Han finally could not resist.
He lunged forward, embracing her.
Shi Yuezhu was a bit surprised, but after a moment, she gently extended her hand.
Feeling the warmth in front of him, Shen Han could only feel the significance of cultivation at moments like this.
Why is a husband willing to work hard? It’s because of the wife and children at home.
When people see what they’re trying to achieve, when they see what they’re working for, everything gains meaning.
The two took a relatively low-profile stroll around the town.
This southwestern small town indeed had its unique characteristics.
Due to frequent rain, the pavilions and courtyards here had special damp-proof measures.
The coverings had exquisitely designed water-conducting eaves.
"This small town has many people and is at the border of Great Wei, so there are also many strangers coming and going.
After we moved here, it indeed felt easier to remain hidden than in other places.
At least in these past few months, we haven’t encountered those troublesome matters again."
Shen Han nodded while listening to Shi Yuezhu speak.
Destroying You Wanying’s Poisonous Mist Incarnation should have a deterrent effect on some forces in Great Wei.
Perhaps due to this reason, those people didn’t dare to search widely anymore.
In their chat, Shen Han also heard about everyone’s cultivation progress from Shi Yuezhu.
