Except for the three parties involved, nobody else knows exactly what took place in the three-way negotiation.

After the negotiation concluded, Li Zhendong’s expression was not very pleasant, whereas Han Luoyun was smiling and having a pleasant conversation with the Emperor of Daqian.

Afterwards, the Purple Mist Sect sent a batch of resources to the Li family as a form of compensation from the Sect to the Li family.

The Li family also accepted the resources from the Purple Mist Sect, thereby concluding the matter.

The Li family did not raise any more trouble, nor did the Purple Mist Sect pay a large price. In the end, both parties avoided a real confrontation.

Many in Qian Country analyzed and speculated in secret, thinking that the Emperor of Daqian must have played a key role in the matter.

As the most powerful figure in the Daqian Kingdom, the Emperor naturally did not want to see the control over the entire Qian Country slipping away due to a conflict between two powerful forces, so he naturally tried to appease the situation.

Moreover, the Li family and the Daqian royal family have a deep-seated enmity, so the Daqian Emperor naturally leaned a bit towards the Purple Mist Sect.

Although the Li family is arrogant and domineering, if pushed too hard, the Purple Mist Sect and Daqian royal family joining hands would put the Li family in a very dangerous situation.

Neither of these two families holds less power than the Li family. If they were to join forces, given the grudges between the royal family of Daqian and the Li family, the Li family might face an existential crisis.

Therefore, the Li family chose to retreat, and the Purple Mist Sect did not go too far, compensating with some resources.

Although the matter was resolved, there is now enmity between the Purple Mist Sect and the Li family.

Speaking of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, the elder with the surname Gong gathered a batch of resources and personally went to the Pill Sect to exchange for the dozen or so imprisoned elders.

As for the elite disciples, they were still held by the Pill Sect. The elder Gong was frustrated and annoyed, but with the disciples in the hands of the Pill Sect, even if he was furious, he had no alternative but to return home.

As for the disciples of the Ten -thousand Medicine Sect being held in the Pill Sect, they were not mistreated, nor did they receive any inhumane treatment, except for the loss of freedom, being confined in the Demon Suppressing Cave.

One day, in the courtyard of Fang Lin, Dugu Nian was seated cross-legged in the courtyard, refining pills in the Pill Furnace in front of her.

Dugu Nian had a serious look on her face, and suddenly smashed down a palm, giving the Pill Furnace a hard smack.

Boom!

With this palm, the Pill Furnace immediately started shaking violently, and the flames surrounding the Pill Furnace flickered.

Dugu Nian was immediately crestfallen, feeling aggrieved, she kicked over the Pill Furnace and sat sulking on one side.

This was her first attempt to practice Shaking Three Mountains after half a month of intensive practice. She was initially full of confidence, thinking that she had succeeded, but upon her actual attempt, she realized it still didn’t work.

Dugu Nian was frustrated. She had practiced diligently using the Jade Slip given to her by Fang Lin, making constant efforts. Why did she fail after just one try?

“Could it be that Fang Lin gave me the wrong method to practice? Was he intentionally fooling me?” After thinking about it, Dugu Nian shifted the blame onto Fang Lin.

However, Dugu Nian was not sure whether it really was her own fault, as she had been pondering over the cultivation method of Shaking Three Mountains for half a month, so it should be correct. She had even seen Fang Lin perform Shaking Three Mountains with her own eyes the other day, which didn’t seem any different from her own attempt.

For a moment, Dugu Nian was unsure whether she was simply too stupid and had not mastered the technique, or whether Fang Lin had deliberately withheld something.

Just as Dugu Nian was lost in her thoughts, a powerful burst of inner strength suddenly spread out from the house where Fang Lin was.

Even though there was an array blocking it, this inner strength still ferociously blasted open the prohibition, directly knocking Dugu Nian, who was in the courtyard, over.

Dugu Nian landed on the ground, and looked at the house in extreme shock.

“This is the inner strength fluctuation of the Earth Element realm, can it be that Fang Lin has broken through to the Earth Element?” Dugu Nian’s eyes widened, finding it hard to believe.

On second thought, Dugu Nian didn’t think it was possible. How old was Fang

Lin? He’s probably about the same age as her. She was only at the Seventh Layer of Human Origin, so even if Fang Lin was more talented, how could he possibly reach the Earth Element realm at his age?

Caught off guard, the figure of Fang Lin slowly emerged from the house.

The next moment, Dugu Nian blushed and immediately turned away in anger, yelling, “You shameless brute, how could you come out without your clothes

Fang Lin scratched his head in confusion, looked down, and was shocked, his underwear was nowhere to be found!

He had been so lost in the breakthrough just now that he hadn’t even realized his clothes were gone. Even worse, Dugu Nian had seen everything. His face was completely red from the embarrassment.

Fang Lin quickly returned to the house, put on his clothes, then walked out acting as if nothing had happened.

Dugu Nian was both embarrassed and annoyed, and she didn’t dare to look at Fang Lin.

She had grown up without ever seeing a naked man. Now that she had seen one for the first time, apart from the shyness, there was also a bit of curiosity and excitement.

“Why didn’t I take a longer look just now? He ran inside before I could see anything clearly, sigh!” Dugu Nian regretted secretly. If Fang Lin knew what she was thinking, he would probably be shocked.

“Ahem, disciple, how is your progress with the Shaking Three Mountains technique I taught you?” Fang Lin maintained his composure and casually inquired, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Hearing Fang Lin bringing the subject up, Dugu Nian’s face turned sour again:

“Did you not give me the complete Shaking Three Mountains technique?”

Fang Lin glanced at the Pill Furnace that Dugu Nian had kicked over not far away, and knew that she must have failed when attempting to perform Shaking Three Mountains.

Fang Lin smiled and said, ‘What I gave to you is the complete Shaking Three Mountains technique, you have only practiced for half a month, and you already want to master it. Aren’t your expectations a little too high?” Dugu Nian was taken aback and said, “I feel like I’ve almost mastered it.”

Fang Lin shook his head: “This technique Shaking Three Mountains can’t be mastered without years of hard practice. Your talent is not bad, I guess in a year or two you should be able to.”

Upon hearing that it could take a year or two, Dugu Nian looked a bit discouraged, but she didn’t feel too down. After all, it’s only a year or two, and perhaps with her gift, she could do it in half a year?

“Did you break through to the Earth Element?” Dugu Nian abruptly inquired.

Fang Lin smiled and gently nodded.

Dugu Nian gasped in surprise. Was Fang Lin a freak? His talent in the Alchemy Tao was so strong, even his progress in the Martial Arts was incredibly swift, making life hard for others?

Suddenly, a figure rushed into the courtyard from outside and launched an attack on Fang Lin without saying a word.

All this happened so quickly that Dugu Nian was dazed, while Fang Lin reacted swiftly and dodged instantly with the Nine Heavens technique..
