Ever since the incident in the Sky City, the Black Cities all over the world had been affected. Only a few of them had survived, and that was the Black City in the State Capital of Qing.
The Mayor, Qin Hua, was now a cultivator in the Exceptional Gold Core Realm. The Deputy Mayor, Chu Ning, had also stepped into the Gold Core Realm.
As the only remaining Black City in the Star Dragon Federation, it was more lively and prosperous than before. Even during the day, there were people coming and going. Many people came because of its reputation, because many people knew that the Black City could survive because of Qinchuan.
And Qinchuan was the idol of many people, especially the young people.
The Mayor's Mansion.
Qin Hua stood in front of the window and looked at the prosperous Black City. He couldn't help but think of what had happened here in the past.
At that time, he was still a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm. He met Qinchuan here for the first time. At that time, he didn't realize how many miracles that ordinary young man would create in the future and how many wonderful stories he would leave behind.
"Father, this is the financial report of last month."
Chu Ning, who was wearing a black suit, walked over slowly and stood behind Qin Hua. She looked out of the window like Qin Hua. Looking at the prosperous Black City, she was speechless for a long time.
She didn't know when it started, but Chu Ning had the same habit as Chu Hua. They both liked to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and admire the scenery outside. Sometimes the focus was on the people, and sometimes the focus was on the buildings.
Sometimes, after looking for a long time, Chu Ning didn't know what she was looking at. She was just used to standing here and looking out of the window.
Just as Chu Hua and Chu Ning were quietly looking out of the window, Qinchuan's figure quietly appeared behind them. Looking at Chu Hua and Chu Ning who were standing side by side, he smiled and said softly, "Long time no see."
Hearing the sudden appearance of a third person, Chu Hua and Chu Ning subconsciously turned around. When they saw the familiar face of Qinchuan, Chu Hua and Chu Ning were stunned.
"Don't be surprised. I'm here today to repay the favor of that year."
Qinchuan looked at Chu Hua. "If it weren't for the two talisman arrays you provided me, my initial cultivation path might not have been so smooth."
…
In less than ten minutes, Qinchuan left the Black City. Chu Ning stood aside and looked at Chu Hua who had advanced from the Jiedan Perfect Stage to the Yuanying Stage. His eyes were full of shock.
Just now, Qinchuan had only lightly tapped Chu Hua's forehead, and Chu Hua had broken through the calmness of the Golden Core Realm and directly entered the Nascent Soul Realm!
Just as the lightning tribulation condensed, Qinchuan dispersed it with a wave of his hand!
In Chu Ning's opinion, this was simply the work of an immortal!
After Chu Hua quietly felt the power of the Nascent Soul Stage, he turned his head and looked at Chu Ning. He whispered, "Now, our Chu Clan has nothing to do with him anymore."
At the beginning, Chu Hua's request to Qinchuan was to let Qinchuan help him to advance from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage. Now, although Qinchuan's return came a little late, he helped him to advance from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage. It was definitely an advantage for him. Otherwise, with his talent, he might not be able to touch the threshold of the Nascent Soul Stage in this lifetime.
"Get ready, we'll leave the Black City and hand over the management of the Black City to the Federation."
Chu Hua was very smart. There were some things that could be done in the past, but definitely not now.
…
Coming to the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range again, Qinchuan couldn't help but think of Zhou Lin's figure.
The first time he came to the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range, it was Zhou Lin who brought him here. At that time, he was just a little guy in the Body Refining Stage, not even an official cultivator. It was Zhou Lin who led him on the road of cultivation.
If it wasn't for Zhou Lin, maybe he could also become a cultivator, but he would definitely have to take a lot of detours.
After passing through the layers of illusion, Qinchuan slowly walked to a lonely grave. Back then, he personally buried Zhou Lin here. Now that 15 years have passed, everything here was still the same as when he left. There was almost no change.
"Senior sister, I'm back to see you."
Qinchuan squatted in front of the grave and looked at the tombstone with an extremely complicated gaze. At this moment, Zhou Lin's voice and smile appeared in front of his eyes.
"Buzz."
Just when Qinchuan was recalling the past, there was a sudden movement in his storage ring. He was a little surprised and took out a golden stream of light from the storage ring. This golden stream of light just left the storage ring and flew out of Qinchuan's control and went straight into the grave!
Seeing this scene, Qinchuan couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. What's going on?
"Lin … Could it really be senior sister?"
All this time, Qinchuan had been curious about whether there was a connection between Lin and Zhou Lin. Although there were many coincidences, he didn't have any conclusive evidence. Now that the golden stream of light suddenly reacted in front of Zhou Lin's grave, Qinchuan realized that perhaps something was about to happen!
Under Qinchuan's expectant and nervous gaze, a slightly pale hand reached out from under the grave!
Whoosh.
The grave was completely pushed away and a pale figure emerged from it. If an ordinary person were to see this scene, they would probably be scared to death. However, Qinchuan's heart was filled with joy.
That familiar aura, she's back.
"Qinchuan …"
Half of Zhou Lin's body was sitting in the soil. She looked at Qinchuan squatting in front of her and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"I had a dream. I dreamed of many, many things. It was about some strange experiences, and it was also about you." Zhou Lin looked at Qinchuan. "I want to tell you."
Qinchuan's eyes were filled with tears. He smiled and nodded. "Alright, let's talk slowly. I'll listen."
…
The story wasn't very long. Zhou Lin only took one night to finish telling it.
In the story, Zhou Lin fell asleep. When she woke up, she appeared in a palace. She forgot her past, didn't know who she was, and didn't know why she was here. She lived in confusion and ignorance.
Later on, she met a very special person. Later on, she followed that special person out of that world and into a wider world.
In this wider world, she learned a lot of knowledge and made some new friends. She also encountered some things, both good and bad.
Among these things, the one that she cared about the most was that special person. His name was Qinchuan.
"I really have to thank you for being able to wake up again, Qinchuan."
Zhou Lin looked at Qinchuan. Her gaze was gentle as always.
Qinchuan smiled and said to Zhou Lin, "Senior sister, welcome back."
