Seeing that Old Li was indeed talking about serious matters, Chen Yang also stopped joking and said seriously, "Master, am I improving faster now than when I was cultivating at Qingyun Daoist Temple?"
"Not only faster, but much faster."
Old Li frowned, his face full of puzzled expressions.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Chen Yang, "In recent times, have you had any unexpected encounters, or had anything strange happen?"
Chen Yang thought carefully. Since leaving the Qingyun Daoist Temple last time, he had returned to Dong'an, then made a trip to the United States; he had no unexpected encounters or strange incidents.
He shook his head and said, "Master, I haven't taken any elixirs or had any serendipitous encounters, aside from my cultivation in the courtyard."
Li Yiliang said, puzzled, "That's strange, could it be that your natural talent suddenly improved?"
The two of them discussed for a while but couldn't find a reason.
