In the cultivation room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged,

a square-shaped Thunder Pool hovered before him, constantly refining the Thunder Element Power within.

After two months of sacrificial refining, that larger Profound Thunder Crystal had been completely absorbed, and the smaller one was only left with half. It would take at most half a month to complete!

"By then, I hope it will be enough for the Thunder Pool to advance to high-grade!" Zhou Xun thought.

Just then, a streak of fire flew in from outside, transforming into a talisman that stayed at the restriction area above the cultivation room,

wandering everywhere, trying to rush out!

Zhou Xun glanced at it briefly and ignored it.

Not until he had completely refined this wisp of Thunder Element Power in his hand did he slowly withdraw his cultivation, and retracted the Thunder Pool that had been sacrificially refined for a long time back into his Dantian.

At this point, the remaining Profound Thunder Crystal had faded in color significantly, due to the Profound Thunder Power being extracted from within.

He took out a Jade Box, stored it securely, and applied a Sealing Spirit Talisman.

It was only then that Zhou Xun had the leisure to look at the Sound Transmission Talisman.

With a beckoning hand, the Sound Transmission Talisman flew into his palm, where he injected mana to activate it, placing it by his ear,

a clear and melodious voice sounded, like a stream flowing.

At the instant he heard this voice, a figure of a woman, graceful as a fairy, pure like ice and snow, appeared in Zhou Xun’s mind, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.

"It’s her... Jiang Wanning!"

Since the farewell at Celestial Talisman Island years ago, she had arrived at Sea Suppression Immortal City, and they hadn’t seen each other for decades.

Previously, upon arriving at the Immortal City, Zhou Xun had also inquired about her, but hadn’t met her. Now she was here.

Seeing this old acquaintance, Zhou Xun was extremely delighted.

Thus he rose and walked out of the cultivation room, towards the cave mansion door, pulling it open,

to find Jiang Wanning standing at the door in a simple, elegant moon-colored dress, tall and graceful, with curvy outlines, waiting,

upon seeing Zhou Xun coming out, she respectfully bowed:

"Greetings, Young Master, congratulations on breaking through to Nascent Soul, achieving the Great Dao!"

"Wanning, you’re too formal!" Zhou Xun immediately walked over, raising her with both hands by her arms.

"We haven’t seen each other for years, you’ve grown thinner... Come, let’s talk inside!" After examining her carefully for a moment, he led her into the cave mansion.

In the courtyard, they saw the Red Noon Demon Emperor emerging from a room,

"This is... a demon... Demon Emperor!"

Looking at the crimson turtle shell on the back of the Red Noon Demon Emperor and the faint demonic power emanating from him, Jiang Wanning was greatly surprised!

"This is Red Noon, a Tier Four Red Spirit Turtle, a Spirit Beast under my command!" Zhou Xun introduced with a smile.

Jiang Wanning was even more shocked upon hearing this,

though she had known Zhou Xun was extraordinary back then, she hadn’t expected this level of greatness,

accomplishing Nascent Soul Stage in such a short time, not to mention taming a Tier Four Spirit Beast. Such abilities were extremely rare even in Sea Suppression Immortal City.

Seems she indeed knows someone remarkable!

Coming back to her senses, Jiang Wanning bowed respectfully towards the Red Noon Demon Emperor across from her,

"Greetings, Senior Red Noon!"

Upon hearing this, Red Noon was shocked, hurriedly hiding to the side, waving his hands repeatedly:

"Fairy Jiang is too courteous, you are a friend of Lord, please don’t call me senior, just call me Red Noon!"

The Red Spirit Turtle was extremely clever, immediately seeing the unusual relationship between her and Zhou Xun, naturally, he wouldn’t act high and mighty!

Jiang Wanning subconsciously glanced at Zhou Xun upon hearing this, only to see him nodding with a smile, before changing her address.

"Red Noon!"

Red Noon Demon Emperor heard her change the form of address, then glanced at Zhou Xun’s face beside them, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, I reacted quickly, otherwise, he might focus his gaze on me!

He knew Zhou Xun’s impression of him had never been good, and had no other course of action but to act cautiously!

Zhou Xun naturally wouldn’t care about Red Noon Demon Emperor’s thoughts, leading Jiang Wanning through the courtyard into the reception hall, where they sat down,

then took out Spiritual Mist Tea and two wine cups, intending to perform a spell preparation,

"Such matters, how can I let Young Master handle it personally!"

At this moment, Jiang Wanning stood up, stopping Zhou Xun’s actions, took the Spirit Tea from him, and began preparing it!

Zhou Xun’s unique tea brewing method had also been learned by Jiang Wanning, under her delicate hands, it was an experience with a different flavor!

"Young Master, please!"

In a short time, Jiang Wanning presented a cup of Spirit Tea to Zhou Xun!

The experience of a beauty accompanying with fragrant sleeves was indeed extraordinary, Zhou Xun praised inwardly,

then began discussing Jiang Wanning’s experiences since arriving at Sea Suppression Immortal City.

Years ago, Jiang Wanning and Moh Rong came to Sea Suppression Immortal City, carrying Zhou Xun’s letter to meet True Monarch Tianci, and with his help,

she was transferred to a safer duty. However, with the tension between the human and demon races, no cultivator could escape conscription,

even True Monarch Tianci was no exception, with tasks being assigned periodically,

Jiang Wanning lived a stable life in the Immortal City for quite a while, and was later dispatched to guard the South City Defense Line ten thousand miles south of the Immortal City!

It wasn’t until today she returned to Sea Suppression Immortal City,

and it was during her visit to True Monarch Tianci that she learned of Zhou Xun’s arrival, swiftly arriving at Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion.

"I see Fairy’s cultivation has progressed considerably now, just a small step away from Middle-Stage Peak, it seems the harvest over these years isn’t small!" Zhou Xun scanned with his divine sense, fully grasping Jiang Wanning’s situation.

"That’s right, although the Immortal City is a bit more dangerous, it offers many opportunities. I just hope there will be a chance to reach Late-Stage, so this life won’t be in vain!"

Jiang Wanning replied.
