Eventually, Lin Yifan let go of her, but perhaps it was for the best. She could finally leave this place with peace of mind.

"Yifan! Goodbye, remember to think of me!" An Qi said with a brilliant smile, softly instructing with a smile.

She wanted to show Lin Yifan her most beautiful side, to leave a good impression on him.

"Yes! I will!" Lin Yifan held back his tears, feeling a mix of emotions.

Saying farewell to a loved one might be the most painful thing in the world.

At that moment, Zhou Jiajia, Su Qingqing, and Xiao Fang also rushed over to say goodbye to An Qi.

"Little sister An Qi!"

"Sister An Qi!"

They sobbed as they embraced An Qi, expressing their reluctance to let her go.

"Alright, alright! My sisters, I'll be back before you know it, don't worry. Just take good care of Yifan for me," An Qi consoled.

She was also reluctant to leave these dear sisters.

Initially, she had been somewhat resistant to them, but after spending time together, she gradually realized they were kind-hearted and caring, which moved her deeply.

"Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Yifan," Zhou Jiajia and the others responded.

"That's good! We will meet again next time!" An Qi said tearfully as she waved goodbye, her heart full of reluctance.

"Yes! We will wait for your return," Zhou Jiajia and the others said tearfully, finding it hard to let go.

Thus, An Qi got into the car amid her reluctance, while Lin Yifan and the others watched with heavy hearts.

After An Qi boarded the car, Xuji True Master passed by Lin Yifan and whispered, "Be careful. A lot of people are paying attention to you now."

Lin Yifan immediately understood Xuji True Master's implication.

The incident with the Mountain God of Qingshi Town must have spread online, so regardless of whether they were cultivators or not, many people would be paying attention to him.

However, he thought that those Xuji True Master referred to must be cultivators, and possibly powerful ones at that, because they might have learned from ancestral legends about extraterrestrial beings wreaking havoc, which naturally led them to think of the Qingxu Immortal incident.

Now, he could only pray that no one knew about the Qingxu Immortal suppressing the Demon Mountain God, or else he would be in big trouble because of the Celestial Treasure, which every cultivator desired, especially those who were stuck at the True Master Five Realm Peak and couldn't advance.

After the reminder, Xuji True Master got into the car and told the driver to drive away.

Meanwhile, An Qi kept waving from the car window, saying farewell to Lin Yifan and Zhou Jiajia.

"Wait for me! I'll come back to see you all very soon!" An Qi shouted from the car window, looking back.

"Okay!"

"Little sister An Qi!"

"Sister An Qi!"

"Qiqi!"

"Goodbye!"

The car took a turn and disappeared from view.

Watching Lin Yifan and the others disappear behind her, An Qi listlessly breathed out two words: "Goodbye!"

Then she pulled her head back inside.

Lin Yifan and the others watched as An Qi, getting farther and farther away, finally disappeared around the bend, their feelings complex and bitter.

"This farewell, who knows when we will meet again," Lin Yifan sighed, feeling somewhat blue.

"Yifan, don't be sad. Even if An Qi doesn't come back to see us, we can always go visit her together," Zhou Jiajia consoled.

"Going into seclusion for cultivation isn't as simple as just wanting to see someone; we can only wait for her to come out," Lin Yifan explained.

He felt Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing were oversimplifying things, not understanding the true meaning of seclusion.

"Why?" Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing asked, puzzled.

"Because those in seclusion cannot be disturbed by others, or else they might succumb to demonic possession or lose all their previous accomplishments," Lin Yifan answered.

"Ah? So it's that serious and dangerous! It seems we can only wait for An Qi to come back to us," Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing were somewhat frightened.

They had thought that An Qi was merely going to cultivate and learn martial arts, not knowing it was not the case.

On the other side, An Qi and Xuji True Master were sitting together.

To be honest, she felt somewhat alienated and reluctant to speak with this master, whom she had known for less than a day.

However, she dared not speak, Xuji True Master, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic, constantly caring for her, fearing that she might encounter any trouble.

"Master! What kind of martial arts am I supposed to learn?" An Qi asked curiously.

This trip to the Cultivation World was purely for the purpose of learning martial arts. She hadn't thought much about anything else.

"There are many eyes and ears here, it's not suitable to disclose, but one thing is certain, it is definitely a very powerful martial art. However, the precondition is that you first have to learn Qi Refinement," Xuji True Master replied.

"Qi Refinement? What is that?" An Qi asked curiously.

"Qi Refinement is the most basic introductory course for cultivators. As long as you can gather the external spiritual energy into your dantian and refine it, you will be able to use the power of cultivation," Xuji True Master replied.

"Oh! So that's how it is," An Qi suddenly realized, beginning to understand a bit about cultivation.

She then continued to inquire about knowledge related to cultivation, striving to integrate into it as soon as possible.

After An Qi had left, Lin Yifan also had his own plans.

Now, he wanted to take a trip to the sea to move the various poisons and antidotes hidden in the secret compartment under the stone bed by the Witchcraft True Master back.

Previously, he was worried about An Qi detecting something amiss and could not carry so much stuff, so he did not move those poisons and antidotes back then; now that he had a space ring, he was no longer afraid of not being able to fit them. Even a giant sea snake, he could carry back.

He had memorized the coordinates of Snake Island, so now all he needed was a fast ship.

Soon, Lin Yifan arrived at the dock and chartered a speedboat.

Then, he set out to sea.

A few hours later, he reached Snake Island.

Even now, no one dared to set foot on Snake Island, as it was the embodiment of danger, and no one dared to provoke it lightly.

After mooring the speedboat, Lin Yifan jumped down from the ship and headed towards the snake cave in the forest.

A few months had passed, and the area was much overgrown with weeds, making it difficult for Lin Yifan to move forward.

However, he had now learned Qinggong, which allowed him to "fly over the eaves and walk up walls," moving forward on trees, thus avoiding the ground weeds and hidden dangers.

With the help of Qinggong, he quickly arrived at the Snake Cave.

The Snake Cave had been burned to a charred black, with remnants of charcoal still around; however, after the blood-sucking bats had taken all the snake meat, what remained were full of carcasses.

Lin Yifan saw a massive skeleton, guessing it was the colossal sea snake he had killed.

Besides, the entrance of the cave was littered with snake skeletons, making it difficult to move.

Lin Yifan decided to use Qinggong to fly into the cave, avoiding too much entanglement with these skeletal remains.

Then, with a "whoosh" sound, he disappeared from his spot and flew into the cave.
