"After several years apart, you have already broken through to Foundation Establishment—truly swift progress."
Zhong Qian slightly raised his head, glanced at the stern man clad in golden armor before him, and responded:
"Thanks to Senior's care, I was able to forge my Taoist Foundation in Heshui Sea when the occasion arose. Since then, I inquired about Senior's whereabouts and traveled here by degrees."
His implication was that breaking through to Foundation Establishment hardly requires three or four years; he had likely succeeded within a year or two, leaving him ample time to journey slowly and eventually arrive.
Such a cultivation speed was far from ordinary; Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly, waiting for him to continue. Zhong Qian paused a moment, then softly said:
"Senior's kindness is ever remembered in my heart, but I am long unable to repay it. I possess nothing of true value, save only news of a Cave Mansion, which I am willing to present to you!"
