Ji Liao flew away and headed towards Wanfa Pavilion.
It has been a day since he returned to the sect. During this time, he met several people who knew him hundreds of years ago. Word of mouth spread, and the news of his return spread like wildfire.
In front of the gate of Wanfa Pavilion, several familiar Ziqi Sect disciples were gathering together in twos and threes.
"I heard that Senior Ji Liaoji is back!" One of them said at this time.
"Yes, I heard about it too. It is said that his cultivation level seems to have improved a lot. Even his spiritual beast has reached the foundation-building stage."
"Well, the gossip coming from Yuxu Peak seems to be that Senior Wu Qingfeng has met him once, but after Senior Wu went back, he seemed to say that Senior Ji was unfathomable and far surpassed him in cultivation. .”
"Well, I haven't heard of this before. Senior Wu is already at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. If even Senior Wu says he is unfathomable, wouldn't it mean that Senior Ji has already reached the stage of Golden Core Stage!"
"I don't think so. He had just established the foundation when he left the sect. He has only been away for less than a hundred years. How could he have reached the golden elixir stage?"
"Even if it's not the Golden Core stage, I think it's the late stage of foundation building or the foundation building is complete. This speed is terrifying enough."
"Yeah yeah."
"Hey, who are you talking about? What senior Ji?" At this time, a man who obviously didn't know Ji Liao listened to their words and stepped forward curiously to ask.
"You started too late, and you don't know who Senior Ji is yet. I think back then, Senior Ji was a man of the hour in our Purple Air Sect. Everyone in the Four Peaks disciples knew about him. Later, he jumped directly from an outer disciple to a core disciple. , is the strongest person in my generation."
The man listened to the talk and was thinking in his mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Are you talking about the disciple of Glory, Talisman Master Ji Liao?"
"Exactly!"
"How is this possible? Wasn't he surrounded and killed by more than a dozen god-refining stage monks?"
"Who knows, he is back anyway."
"Isn't it too scary to escape from the hands of more than a dozen god-refining monks? I even paid homage to his tomb."
"Hey, I'm back now, but I came back at the wrong time, just in time for our sect's annihilation war." Another person said.
"That's right. We little ones are just supporting the scene. It is the Supreme Ancestors who really decide the outcome."
"Forget it, stop talking, lest anyone listen to you."
"What's the matter? We don't have..."
While they were talking, suddenly a strong wind roared around them, and a flash of blue light fell not far from them.
Several people were startled and turned around to look, only to see a tall, honest-looking young man standing there with his hands behind his hands. Who else could it be if it wasn't Ji Liao?
"Ji...Senior Ji...!" Several people said in disbelief and full of horror.
Ji Liao glanced at a few people and found that he had no impression of these faces, but he had come into contact with many people when he was selling talismans at Yanshui Peak. Just because he didn't know these people didn't mean that they didn't know him.
Ji Liao smiled and nodded to them.
Several people immediately gathered around, "Senior Ji, why are you back so suddenly!"
"Senior Ji, will you continue to sell talismans when you come back this time?"
"Senior Ji heard that your cultivation level has become higher again. What level have you reached?"
Ji Liao didn't feel annoyed when he listened to these people's questions. Instead, he felt familiar, as if he was suddenly back to the time when he was sitting cross-legged in front of PepsiCo Square and being surrounded by people making fun of him. scene.
"Hahaha, how are you guys doing lately?" Ji Liao chuckled and held his hands in front of them one by one without any airs.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that we have been too nervous recently. We can't breathe. We are thinking about how to improve our strength. You came back just in time. Will you sell us talismans when you come back this time? We Pay top dollar for it!”
"There are too many things going on these days, I haven't considered those yet!" Ji Liao replied with a smile.
"There are still a few months left for this war. Senior Ji, you have to take care of us fellow disciples."
"Don't worry, Ji will consider it." Ji Liao nodded and said apologetically, "Ji has something else to do, so I'll excuse you now."
After that, he walked towards the Wanfa Pavilion.
"Farewell to Senior Ji." Those people gave a big salute to Ji Liao's back. 3800
After Ji Liao's figure disappeared, these people stood up.
"Senior Ji is indeed Senior Ji, he is still as amiable as before."
"That's right. Among the many elders in the foundation-building period of the sect, the seniors of several seasons are the ones who take care of us the most, and they don't have any airs."
These people looked at the gate of Wanfa Pavilion and started talking again, praising Ji Liao endlessly.
Due to the war, Wanfa Pavilion was a little depressed at this time. There were only three or two disciples inside, and there were also a few fewer disciples who once guarded it. However, when Ji Liao came in, there was still a familiar figure standing there. He got up and came towards Ji Liao.
"Brother Wei, long time no see." Ji Liao greeted him with a smile.
The person who came was none other than Wei Lancheng, who had guided him in choosing a technique.
He left a good impression on Ji Liao at that time, so Ji Liao remembered Wei Lancheng. Ji Liao still remembered that he was already at the thirteenth level of Naqi at that time. Now that decades have passed, he seems to have encountered a bottleneck. , the cultivation level is still at the thirteenth level of Naqi.
When Wei Lancheng saw that the person coming was Ji Liao, he was stunned. After a moment, he recovered and quickly bowed to Ji Liao and saluted, "I've met Senior Ji!"
At that time, Ji Liao was already in the foundation-building stage, so he had to call him "senior". Now, decades later, Ji Liao's cultivation level is not low, but he has not changed. He still has to call him "senior". A senior.
Therefore, although Wei Lancheng was shocked by Ji Liao's appearance, he knew what was going on and didn't ask any more questions.
Ji Liao nodded slightly. Although he had a good impression of Wei Lancheng, his friendship was not deep. At most, he had met a few times. Moreover, Wei Lancheng had a calm and cautious temperament, which invisibly distanced him from Ji Liao.
"Is Grand Ancestor Taishang up there?" Ji Liao asked without saying much.
"Yes!" Wei Lancheng responded.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll just go there by myself." Ji Liao nodded and walked to the second floor of Wanfa Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
But just when he was about to step forward, he suddenly heard a clear and beautiful voice behind Ji Liao, "Junior Brother Ji...!"
Ji Liao paused. Listening to this familiar voice, a woman with a round, pretty face and a smile with two dimples suddenly appeared in his mind.
When he turned around, he happened to see a man and a woman standing not far behind him, staring with disbelief. They were Xu Luning and Wen Changming.
"Hey! It's really Junior Brother Ji!" Wen Changming shouted in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward.
Xu Luning's round little face was also full of horror. When she really saw that the person was Ji Liao, a mist flashed across her eyes.
"Hahaha, Madam Cai recognized you just now when she looked at your back. I still don't believe it. I didn't expect that Junior Brother Ji, who has been away from the sect for hundreds of years, is finally back." Wen Changming came to Ji Liao and cupped his hands to Ji Liao.
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Ji Liao smiled and returned the greeting.
"I didn't expect that we were apart for decades, but when I heard that you died in Huangxi, I was sad for a long time, and my wife even cried for several days." Wen Changming said with emotion.
"Really, I've made you worry." Ji Liao frowned, smiled warmly, and then looked at Xu Luning, who had followed quietly.
Xu Luning looked at this man and recalled the scene when he met her. The figure riding a big wolf and galloping through the orange jungle has always been imprinted in her heart.
It was just that Ji Liao had been missing for seven years, and she had offended another sect member. In order to avoid the disaster, she had no choice but to choose Wen Changming, whom she had accidentally met at the time, and missed the man in front of her.
Today's Ji Liao is no longer the young boy who was only eighteen or nineteen years old back then. He is so rich in emotions. Now that he recalls Xu Lu Ning's performance at that time, Ji Liao understands what Xu Lu Ning was thinking at that time.
It's just that he was still young at that time, and he was devoted to Taoism. If he felt emotionally involved, Taoism would become fragile, and he never responded to Xu Luning's hints.
But now that they are at this age, the events of their early years have been resolved.
He sensed the fluctuations emanating from the two of them and found that Wen Changming had reached the twelfth level of Qi absorption, while Xu Luning had also reached the tenth level of Qi absorption.
Ji Liao smiled and nodded, "I haven't seen you for many years. You have made some progress in your cultivation. It seems that your life is pretty good."
"Eh...! It's just hard work, nothing worth mentioning." Wen Changming waved his hand and asked again, "Do you still remember that you were already in the foundation building stage? After a hundred years of cultivation from the sect, You must have reached another level."
"Well, there are some opportunities and it has improved a bit."
The couple opposite were Ji Liao's friends. Ji Liao didn't want to be separated from him because of his cultivation, so he just smiled and responded without telling him what his cultivation was.
"You must have suffered a lot over the years." Xu Luning, who had been silent for a while, took a step forward and said with concern.
"It doesn't matter, stumbling and stumbling is not a waste of time." Ji Liao chuckled and looked directly at Xu Luning, "On the other hand, you still look the same after not seeing me for many years."
Ji Liao was just a casual remark, but in Xu Luning's ears, it reminded her of the two Residential Pills she had spent a lot of money to buy together. One of them was given to Ji Liao using a lovesick mandarin duck. .
