In regard to the patience of an elite Jindan Stage cultivator, cultivating in seclusion for three to five years was a common occurrence. Wang Lu didn't plan to do this for that long, but he also wanted to live in seclusion at Mt. Mang for at least several months.
At the beginning, he, Qiong Hua and the others went to explore the Demon World. Later on, Qiong Hua and the others smoothly returned, but he himself lost on his way back… After that, five months had passed in Nine Regions. During which, the news of his loss must have spread through from the mouths of Qiong Hua and the others. Right now, the person that ought to feel worried ought to have already felt worried. But after getting through the initial heat, one must be ready to take care of the aftermath. Now, his own 'inheritance' might fall into someone's hand… so there was no use to feel anxious, and he might as well spend his time quietly here for a few months.
