Li Tongya returned to Lijing Mountain, where Li Xuanfeng was coming to meet him, carrying a longbow on his back and frowning at a jade slip. Upon seeing Li Tongya, he hurriedly put away the jade slip and said respectfully,
"Uncle has returned... How is Qinghong?"
"She has already been placed with the Fei Clan."
Li Tongya sized him up for a moment, then smiled and said,
"Fifth Layer of Qi Training; you are just over thirty years old, and you have made quick progress, but you still need more refinement."
"Yes."
Li Xuanfeng nodded in agreement, then heard Li Tongya instruct,
"Yu Mujian was only starting his Qi Cultivation at your age. You have been blessed with the addition of a Talisman Seed and are surrounded by Talisman Qi, allowing you to reach such a cultivation level... Though you can't compare with the prodigy An Jingming, you are indeed among the top in the Lake region."
