Afterwards, the maids left one after another, only Bai Xiaoyun stayed. He brought Chen Luo a token of the senior guest and a gift from twenty immortal jades.

"Father said, I have wanted to give you the token for a long time, but it is not in line with the rules of the mansion, and I am afraid that I will cause you unnecessary trouble. Brother Shen, you are already a cultivator in the fasting stage, so it is reasonable and reasonable. These twenty immortal jades are gifts to you by my father personally, and there are also twenty immortal jades prepared by the Bai Mansion for the senior guests. They are also twenty immortal jades, but if you want to leave the mansion to account, they will be delivered later." Bai Xiaoyun looked at Chen Luo, with a look of admiration in his eyes and said.

"Go back and thank the head of the family for me first. I will thank you in two days." Chen Luo smiled and said.

"Let's talk about this later, hehe, Brother Shen, tell me first, how did you practice to the fasting stage in such a short time? I have only barely practiced to the third level of the Qi Refining stage in this year." Bai Xiaoyun asked with a curious light flashing in his eyes.

"You are just diligent." Chen Luo said without hesitation.

"It's gone?" Bai Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's gone." Chen Luo affirmed.

"That's it? Brother Shen, you're so foolish..." Bai Xiaoyun said disappointed.

But after he finished speaking, his expression slightly darkened and he seemed quite worried.

"What's wrong?" Chen Luo frowned and asked when he saw this.

"Brother Shen, I'm going to tell you that some things happened at home during your retreat." Bai Xiaoyun said.

"What? But what trouble happened?" Chen Luo asked.

"Xie Yuxin defected." Bai Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment and said.

"Defection? Why is she like this?" Chen Luo's expression changed slightly and he said in surprise.

"I don't know, no one expected that she would steal the secret book of our Bai family's magic tricks. Perhaps from the beginning, she would have impure motives. After that, she escaped from Jianye City and has no trace yet." Bai Xiaoyun shook her head and said.

"No wonder, when I left the pass today, I saw that the guests looked a little strange." Chen Luo was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Brother Shen, now you have replaced her and become the only fasting cultivator among our Bai family's guest ministers." Bai Xiaoyun said with a serious expression.

Chen Luo nodded silently when he heard this, and said nothing.

...

Time flies, and more than a month has passed.

Shen Luo's body had basically recovered as before, so he planned to leave the Bai family and return home to take a look.

For more than a year after he left his hometown, Chunhua County has been safe and sound. He has never heard of any trace of demons again. He has broken through the bottleneck and entered the early stage of fasting, and has also gained some self-protection.

The time to return to Chunhua County is ripe.

After saying goodbye to Baihecheng, he carried a stone pillow on his back and planned to embark on the journey back to his hometown.

Before leaving, Baihecheng and Baijiangfeng came to see him off in person.

They prepared a car for Shen Luo and even arranged a maid to serve on the way. As a result, he only had a fast horse and refused the rest.

"I'm going home and I'll say hello to Lingtang on my behalf." Bai Hecheng said with a smile.

"Sure." Shen Luo clasped his fists.

"Boy Chen, there is nothing to do at home. Come back early. I still have some ideas about talismans and want to talk to you." Bai Jiangfeng also smiled and said.

"Since I have embarked on the road of cultivation, I think it is impossible to stay at home for a long time." Chen Luo smiled.

"That's good, haha..." Bai Jiangfeng smiled.

"Why didn't Xiaoyun see today? Could it be that he has gone into seclusion again?" Chen Luo saw that there was no Bai Xiaoyun around the door, and he was surprised.

"That kid is also a stubborn temper. He disliked his practice at home too slowly, so he left a letter saying that he wanted to go to Chang'an to find opportunities. I thought he had also gone to Huasheng Temple. I have sent someone to send a letter to my old friend there, so I would like to pay attention to it." Bai Hecheng rubbed his eyebrows and said uneasy.

When Chen Luo heard this, he remembered Bai Xiaoyun asking about his practice that day, and found that there were signs of precedents, but he felt a little relieved.

"It seems that he is really determined to practice and should look at him with admiration." Chen Luo smiled.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hecheng did not refute, but just smiled, and a look of praise flashed in his eyes.

Then, Chen Luo said goodbye, led his horse out of the city, and headed towards Chunhua County.

It was late at night and it was snowing heavily.

After a while, the city gate had already been closed. Under the gate opening outside the city, a man and a horse stood in the snow.

This man wore a hat and a snow-white cloak. He was sitting on the horse's back with a depressed expression on his face, and it was sinking.

"I had known that I shouldn't have taken a detour. This Songfan County is really incompatible with me..." He sighed, turned his horse's head and headed towards the east of the city.

Chen Luo rushed back from Jianye and had been traveling around for more than half a month. The reason he wanted to detour Songfan County was to see the Yu Dadan couple. They should have given birth to Lin'er now, and I don't know how they were doing?

But unexpectedly, the thatched hut at the ferry entrance had already been empty. After some inquiries, Chen Luo found out that the couple had suddenly made a fortune, had done other business, and had moved to another place.

Chen Luo didn’t know if the sudden wealth that people said was because they asked their families to give money, but when they learned that their lives were going well, they felt relieved.

Soon, he came to the bustling town in the east of the city. From a distance, he could see the lights and the red light reflected in the town, which was still a bit warm in the snowy night.

When I arrived in the town, I walked on the street with my horses in the sunken hands, and the horse's hooves hit the bluestone slabs, and there were crisp sounds.

He looked around the town's taverns and inns and found that most of them had been closed for rest, and few were still open for business. Thick door curtains were hung in front of the door to resist the cold air, and there were no waiters outside to solicit business.

Chen Luo walked all the way to the town, intending to continue staying in the inn by Manager Hou.

However, when he found the inconspicuous corner according to his memory, he could not see the inn with simple decoration. Instead, he was replaced by a new inn with towering gatehouses and gorgeously decorated carved.

Chen Luo looked up and saw a brand new plaque with golden characters hanging on the door, with three big words "Shenxianju" written on it.

"Could it be that Manager Hou's shop has been put on for someone to change the house?" Chen Luo thought to himself.

Since I couldn't find the familiar inn, it didn't matter where I lived next. Shen Luo tied up the horses, opened the curtain of the inn, and a smell of food came to my face.

He immediately felt his index finger move and stepped into it.

The environment inside the inn is very different from before, and it seems that the overall situation has been renovated.
