Chapter 72 Jiang Feng's Visit

Time passed quickly, and Shangguan Jiannan finally finished breathing. The look of fatigue disappeared, replaced by a face full of joy and anticipation.

The spiritual energy in the air around him seemed to be awakened by some force and began to dance lightly around him.

After a meticulous investigation, Shangguan Jiannan was pleasantly surprised to find that this underground spiritual vein actually contained a rare, mysterious and cold energy.

For other disciples, this kind of spiritual energy may need to be carefully eliminated to avoid disturbing the heart meridian; but for him, it is an invaluable treasure for practicing shadow-based exercises.

Therefore, by practicing in this land, his realm is naturally far superior to that of his peers.

He took a deep breath and slowly absorbed the dark and cold air around him into his body. He concentrated his mind highly and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Time seems to stand still, yet passes by quietly like flowing water.

When Shangguan Jiannan opened his eyes again and stood up, he could no longer hide the surprise on his face.

"Sure enough, practicing here will get twice the result with half the effort."

He thought to himself that the spiritual energy in his body had increased significantly compared to before, and his joy was beyond words.

He let out a long breath, and the heavy feeling in his chest instantly dissipated, replaced by unprecedented comfort and pleasure.

"If this continues, it won't be out of reach to break through to the second level of Sword King within a year."

However, even so, he still had a trace of regret in his heart, after all, the effect of practicing in Lengyuehantan was more significant.

But on second thought, he could feel a significant increase in the spiritual energy in his body after only a few hours of practice, and this gain was enough to make him satisfied.

Shangguan Jiannan was even more looking forward to the practice of "Night Shadowless Heart Technique".

This mental method that had never been able to make any breakthroughs now showed signs of advancement, which made him feel very excited.

He walked out of the secret room and saw that it was already late in the evening. The flickering candlelight added a touch of warmth and peace to the quiet night.

"Young Master Jiannan."

Manager Li's voice sounded at the right time, interrupting his thoughts.

He looked up and saw Manager Li walking towards him in a hurry, with a somewhat anxious look on his face.

"You finally came out. There is a guest waiting outside for a long time."

Manager Li explained, his tone revealing respect and concern for Shangguan Jiannan.

Shangguan Jiannan nodded slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.

He did not instruct Manager Li to let anyone wait, but since someone came to visit and had been waiting for a long time, he naturally could not ignore it.

So he straightened his clothes, walked out, and prepared to greet the uninvited guest.

"Huh? Who's visiting?"

When Shangguan Jiannan heard this, a hint of doubt flashed across his brows. Among the inner sect, there were only a handful of people he was familiar with.

Li Zongguan's voice sounded again: "It's a young man named Jiang Feng, who claims to be your friend."

When mentioning Jiang Feng, Manager Li's expression was a little subtle. After all, Jiang Feng's name might be well-known in the outer sect, but few people in the inner sect knew him.

When Shangguan Jiannan heard the name "Jiang Feng", his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he quickly ordered: "Please come in quickly. From now on, when Brother Jiang Feng comes to visit, there is no need to inform him, just bring him in directly."

He thought to himself that since he entered the inner gate, he had not contacted Jiang Feng for a long time due to his busy cultivation. Now that he heard the news, he was naturally excited.

Although Manager Li was surprised, he quickly agreed and turned to leave.

Soon, a familiar laughter and footsteps were heard, and Jiang Feng and his cousin Jiang Ruyue walked into the hall.

"Brother Jiannan, how are you? You are very famous now!"

Jiang Feng laughed out loud as he entered the room, still as cheerful as ever.

Jiang Ruyue followed closely behind, with curiosity and scrutiny in her eyes.

"Brother Jiang, please keep your voice down. Junior Brother Jiannan is no longer the same as he was before."

The woman at the side reminded softly, it was Jiang Ruyue, and there was a hint of teasing in her words.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's laughter subsided a little, and then he proudly introduced: "This is my cousin, Jiang Ruyue. What do you think? Is her pretty to your liking?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyue pretended to be angry and kicked Jiang Feng lightly, causing everyone to laugh.

Shangguan Jiannan laughed heartily upon seeing this and went forward to greet them: "Brother Jiang Feng, Senior Sister Jiang, please feel free to come and see me. This is your home."

He is straightforward and never formal with his friends.

Jiang Ruyue sat on the chair, with a barely perceptible sourness on her lips: "Jiannan, you are now the best on the elite list, so we naturally have to be respectful to you."

There was a hint of joking in her words, but they also revealed her recognition of Shangguan Jiannan's achievements.

Shangguan Jiannan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Senior Sister Jiang, you are too polite. Why should we be so formal with each other?"

After that, he personally poured tea for everyone, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm and harmonious.

Amid the aroma of tea, the conversations and laughter of the four people intertwined together, as if they had returned to that carefree time.

The maids quickly brought the fragrant tea, with steam rising from it.
