As Lin Xuankong was deep in thought, Zhao Yufei and the others around him suddenly cheered.

He turned his head and saw Young Lady Li Xiaolan in a green robe, standing gracefully not far away, smiling sweetly at him.

Lin Xuankong carefully sensed the fluctuations emanating from Young Lady Li Xiaolan and couldn’t help but smile.

"Just as I expected, congratulations on advancing to the Early Stage of the Tenth Level of the Transcendence Realm!"

Lii Xiaolan walked gracefully to Lin Xuankong’s side. She knew him too well. Although Lin Xuankong had a smile on his face, how could Lii Xiaolan not see the worry in his eyes!

"Is something bothering you? Why do you look like you’re forcing a smile?" Lii Xiaolan was clearly a bit surprised.

Lin Xuankong thought,

With this in mind, he looked at Lii Xiaolan and smiled.

"It’s nothing. I’ve just gained some attention recently, and I’m worried about drawing jealousy. They might not dare to confront me openly, but all of you need to be cautious. After the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s celebration in a few days, it would be best for you to stay in my Ba Mountain Secret Realm for a while!"

Lii Xiaolan listened, her bright eyes flickering, a trace of doubt appearing within them.

Since her husband began cultivating the Martial Dao, he had always been confident, rarely showing any concern or worry in front of her. This time, despite securing a position in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect through his Artifact Refining Technique and talent, why did he wear such a worried expression? And what could be the matter that even the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect couldn’t resolve?

Li Xiaohu heard their conversation, scratched his head, and frowned.

"Godfather, are you worried about that Flaming Blade Duan River? Now that you are the First Tributor of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, your status isn’t much lower than the Sect Leader’s, comparable to a Vice Sect Leader. Even the Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect must address you as Tributor Mu! In the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty, perhaps only that Flaming Blade Duan River could pose a threat to you! But... even if that Flaming Blade Duan River wants to avenge Second Prince Chang Li, could a late-stage Third Grade Earth Immortal truly overpower the numerous Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect? I imagine even Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu alone would be difficult for him to handle!"

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er, Xiao Xiuyi, Hu Shuo, and the others also showed some confusion upon hearing this.

Lin Xuankong didn’t want to make everyone worried, so he smiled jokingly and said,

"What? Are you unwilling to stay in my Ba Mountain Secret Realm for a while? Hmm, now that you’re all about to become early-stage Tenth Level experts, you won’t listen to me anymore?"

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er smiled. "Of course, we’d be willing."

She stood beside Lii Xiaolan, holding her right arm.

"Sister Lii mentioned that the small pavilion she and Sister Yu Fei built in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm is exquisite, and it’s filled with all sorts of strange Profound Iron Machines. I’ve been eager to go see it!"

Zhao Yufei raised an eyebrow and said,

"If my husband hadn’t insisted I leave the Secret Realm, I’d still be busy there. In my opinion, this so-called Immortal Residence of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect isn’t nearly as comfortable as my little pavilion in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm!"

Li Xiaohu shook his head repeatedly.

"There’s no way I wouldn’t listen to Godfather! Godfather, never mind just staying in your Ba Mountain Secret Realm; even if you asked me to lie in a cauldron of boiling oil with Han Lu stoking the fire beneath, I wouldn’t utter a single complaint!"

Han Lu, hearing this, was momentarily stunned, then laughed. "Then I’ll definitely activate my Yin Talisman Technique and make sure that cauldron burns fiercely!"

Everyone burst into laughter at Li Xiaohu and Han Lu’s words.

Lin Xuankong, however, thought to himself,

As for the Earth Immortals from those various Immortal Sects,
