Here, L followed Caiden towards the Peak of Celestial Connection, heading towards the pce-like buildings in the distance.


    After arriving at Sullivan’s mansion, L immediately saw Kyrie and Sullivan sitting opposite each other, ying a game of Go. In the nearby garden, several children were ying with Nora.


    Despite being unable to hear Nora’s joyfulughter, L felt reassured. “Master, big brother!”


    Upon arrival, L greeted Sullivan and Kyrie respectfully. Although Sullivan and Kyrie were of the same rank, L treated them as individuals.


    Kyrie smiled at L, and Sullivan showed a fatherly warmth. “Good disciple, it’s good to see you return safely,” Sullivan said, observing L and nodding. “I can see that your strength has improved once again during this trip. You truly deserve the title of the chosen heir to the jade pendant!”


    At this point, L’s Qi Refinement strength had reached theter stage of Golden Core, and Sullivan couldn’t overlook it.


    Even though his physical strength had broken through to the Myriad Forms Realm, Sullivan had not noticed, but L wondered what his response would have been. In such a short time, advancing from the early stage of Golden Core to theter stage was already remarkable.


    Many ancient Golden Core cultivators, even with ample resources, did not know how many years it would take to make progress in the Golden Core Realm.


    “Master, you praise me too much,” L modestly replied, keeping hisposure.


    “Father, father!”


    “Father, you’re finally here…”


    At that moment, in the nearby courtyard where Nora was ying, it seemed as if she had a psychic connection with L. She looked in their direction and, upon seeing her beloved father, ran over joyfully.


    L, filled with love and indulgence, stooped down and picked her up. He kissed her on each chubby cheek, causing Nora to giggle from his stubble tickling her, disying deep affection and joy. Kyrie, witnessing this disy, briefly revealed aplex emotion deep in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.


    Momentster, he smiled and said, “Haha, L, no one can rece you in Nora’s heart!”


    “Uncle McCarthy, that’s not true! Nora also loves you!”Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Nora, young but surprisingly mature, swayed her head and spoke. Kyrieughed and looked at L with great affection and joy.


    At this moment, Sullivan, stroking his beard, looked at Nora with the same affection, telling her, “Nora, I need to talk to your father about something important. Why don’t you let Uncle McCarthy take you to y?”


    Nora nodded before instinctively hugging L tightly, disying a mature and heartrending manner. Even though she was reluctant to leave her father, she understood that he had many responsibilities. Kyrie, approaching L, reached out to take Nora.


    At that moment, L felt an inexplicable fear surge within him. He was afraid that if he let Nora go, he might never see her again.


    Nevertheless, he suppressed this urge and surreptitiously set Nora down, letting Kyrie take her by the hand. Looking at her father with longing eyes, Nora obediently followed Uncle McCarthy to y, prompting L to force a smile and say, “Be good, Nora. I’ll be with you againter!”


    Feeling the emptiness in his arms, L felt a pang of sadness. “My disciple, when you and your daughter have your reunion,e with me. Important matters await us!” Sullivan urged, shaking his head resignedly.


    After agreeing, L followed Sullivan to the backyard of the cave. Meanwhile, Kyrie led Nora back to his mansion, casting a deep, meaningful nce at L before suddenly speaking, “L, I’ll take Nora back to my mansion. You must listen to your master!”


    This side of L followed Sullivan to the backyard, where master and disciple sat in a pavilion.


    “Master, what important matters do you wish to discuss with me?” L respectfully asked.


    Upon hearing this, Sullivan, with a touch of embarrassment on his face, replied, “L, since I epted you as my disciple, I have only provided you with a few cultivation resources and haven’t taught you much else. I have failed as a master. Even though our rtionship is mostly symbolic due to your inheritance, I still want to impart some knowledge to you. Otherwise, I feel ashamed as your master.”


    L was taken aback. He thought Sullivan wanted to inquire about something, such as his interactions with the Sun Moon Sect. Instead, Sullivan intended to teach him something. Did L and Vinnie misunderstand something?


    “Master, you are too kind! What you have given me is already more than enough!” L replied sincerely, patting his storage bag.


    “No! That is nothing!” Sullivan waved his hand, pulling out a ck object the size of a book from his body. The object emitted a strange, mysterious aura.


    “What is this…?” L raised an eyebrow.


    “This b is made of spiritual materials and can directly imprint certain cultivation techniques with spiritual power. This allows for a more intuitive transmission of esoteric knowledge. Inside, it contains a technique called the ‘Returning Heart Technique,’ a technique used to cultivate the spirit and soul. Try infusing your true energy into it, and you can receive the ‘Returning Heart Technique’!” Sullivan exined.


    At these words, a glint of excitement shed in L’s eyes. A technique for cultivating spiritual power and the soul was incredibly precious. The fact that Sullivan was teaching it to him left L full of doubts.
