As I swung open the door to my secluded room, I was greeted by Tang Yusheng, who promptly dropped to his knees and addressed me as "Master." After spending approximately two months in isolation, I had successfully cultivated my alchemy flame, a significant achievement considering the time invested.
Tang Yusheng, though seemingly unchanged in appearance, had made remarkable progress in his cultivation. He had advanced to the fourth layer of Qi Condensation, a significant leap from our previous encounter.
"You have made impressive strides in such a short time," I commended, helping him rise to his feet. It was a simple expression of acknowledgment, but it seemed to move Tang Yusheng to tears.
"Oh, Master! I am overjoyed that you have returned. The sect is truly a living hell, just as you warned. The disciples are constantly embroiled in conflicts, and the attention from the girls... it's overwhelming. I am not prepared for such attention!" he lamented.
