Soon, the two arrived at the place where Bai Yuanming was in seclusion.
Bai Yuanchen stood outside the secret chamber and called inside, "Big Brother, Qingyan is back, and she has something to talk to you about!"
"Come in, both of you!" Soon, Bai Yuanming's voice drifted out from the secret chamber.
The two did not delay and walked straight inside.
"Father!"
Having not seen her father for so long, she missed him dearly.
"Qingyan is back. It has been hard on you for the sake of the Clan!"
Thinking of his daughter going to be someone else's concubine, Bai Yuanming felt a bitter taste in his heart.
Although he was in seclusion at the time, Bai Yuanchen had told him the news immediately.
Yet, for the sake of the Clan's development, he had not stepped forward to stop it.
This filled his heart with guilt toward Bai Qingyan.
For the Clan, what he did was great.
But for his daughter, he was not a competent father.
Bai Qingyan sensed her father's thoughts and quickly said:
"Father, please don't say that. Qingyan is living very well, and my husband treats me very well too!"
"Father, if you don't believe me, why not take a look at my strength first!"
After saying this, Bai Qingyan directly revealed her strength.
Bai Yuanming and Bai Yuanchen felt the pressure exuding from Bai Qingyan and were completely stunned.
"Qingyan, have you already achieved a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm?"
Although the two found it hard to believe, the pressure Bai Qingyan exerted on them was real.
Only the Purple Mansion Realm could bring them such immense pressure.
"Father, Second Uncle, you are not mistaken. I have indeed achieved a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm!"
Since Lin Fan had said she could reveal her strength, there was naturally no need to hide it.
"How is this possible?"
"Qingyan, how on earth did you do it?"
Although it was hard to believe, the facts were right in front of them, so they had no choice but to believe it.
One must know that Bai Yuanming had been in seclusion for over ten years and still hadn't found any clue on how to achieve a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm.
A breakthrough from the Qi Sea to the Purple Mansion was truly too difficult.
Yet, look at Bai Qingyan; she was only at the Early Stage of the Qi Sea Realm before she got married.
Now, only two years had passed, and she had directly reached the Purple Mansion Realm.
How could they not be shocked by such a fast speed of breakthrough?
Looking at their incredulous gazes, Bai Qingyan smiled and explained:
"The reason I was able to achieve a breakthrough so quickly is naturally thanks to my husband!"
"My husband has now become a Low-Grade Profound Alchemist!"
"My husband gave me a Low-Rank Profound Grade Barrier-Breaking Pill, and I directly achieved a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm!"
"What?"
"Qingyan, are you sure you aren't lying to us?"
"Has the Patriarch Lin really become a Low-Grade Profound Alchemist?"
"It is naturally true. How could I joke about such a thing!"
"Doesn't my current strength prove everything?"
Speaking of this, Bai Qingyan revealed a confident smile.
Having confirmed the authenticity of this matter, the two were completely excited.
This was a Low-Grade Profound Alchemist.
The appearance of a Profound Rank Alchemist meant that a breakthrough from the Qi Sea Realm to the Purple Mansion Realm had become much easier than before.
Of course, one must have the corresponding Pill Formula.
Without a Pill Formula, it is very difficult for an Alchemist to concoct the corresponding Medicinal Pill.
Of course, one cannot rule out creating a Pill Formula oneself, but such Alchemists are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
I am afraid that among 100,000 Alchemy Geniuses, one could not even find a single prodigy who could create a Pill Formula.
The Pill Formulas circulating today have been accumulated over countless epochs.
However, it was clear that Bai Qingyan had achieved her breakthrough relying on the Barrier-Breaking Pill given by Lin Fan.
This meant that Lin Fan had mastered this Pill Formula.
After figuring this out, the two became even more excited.
At the same time, they were happy for Bai Qingyan's breakthrough.
After a while, Bai Yuanming spoke up: "Qingyan, seeing that you are living well in the Lin Clan, I can finally rest assured!"
Bai Qingyan was very clever and naturally understood the meaning behind her father's words.
"Father, don't overthink it. It was my own choice back then; no one in the Clan forced me!"
"Looking at it now, my choice back then was very wise; otherwise, how would I have such an fated opportunity!"
"So Father, you don't need to feel guilty; you should be happy for me instead!"
As she spoke, Bai Qingyan took out a small jade vial from the Storage Pouch at her waist.
"Father, my husband heard that you have been in seclusion to charge towards the Purple Mansion Realm, so he asked me to bring you a Medicinal Pill!"
As she spoke, Bai Qingyan placed the jade vial into Bai Yuanming's hand.
"Qingyan, could it be that what is inside this jade vial is... a Barrier-Breaking Pill?"
Speaking of this, the hand holding the jade vial began to tremble.
Bai Qingyan smiled and nodded: "Father, you guessed right. What is inside is indeed a Barrier-Breaking Pill."
"Qingyan, this... is too precious!"
At this moment, Bai Yuanming's voice began to tremble.
Because with this Medicinal Pill, the Purple Mansion Realm was already beckoning to him.
Beside him, Bai Yuanchen was equally excited.
As long as they accepted this Medicinal Pill, their Bai Clan could become a power with a Purple Mansion Realm expert.
"Alright, Father, just accept it with peace of mind. This is what my husband asked me to give you!"
"Good, I will accept this Medicinal Pill. Qingyan, after you go back, you must help me thank the Patriarch Lin properly!"
Bai Yuanming really could not bear to refuse such a Medicinal Pill.
This concerned his own strength and the rise and fall of the Clan.
"Rest assured, Father, I know what to do!"
As for how to thank him, Bai Qingyan had plenty of experience.
"Alright, Father, just stay here and focus on your seclusion. Achieve a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm as soon as possible. I am going to find Mother to chat for a while, and then I will be heading back!"
"Good, go ahead!"
After Bai Qingyan left, Bai Yuanchen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said:
"Big Brother, just focus on your seclusion. I will be your Protector here!"
"Good!"
On this side, after having a meal with her mother, Bai Qingyan said her goodbyes and left.
After leaving the Bai residence, Bai Qingyan found a place with no one around and returned directly to the Divine Firmament Realm.
On Lin Fan's side, he went to the Commandery Governor's Mansion, chatted with Wang Xinghe for a while, and then arrived at the newly built mansion.
Looking over the new mansion, Lin Fan felt very satisfied.
The materials used for this mansion were at least of the Yellow Grade Mid-rank.
To build the entire mansion, one could not build it without at least ten million Yellow Grade Origin Stones.
However, these Yellow Grade Origin Stones were not from Wang Xinghe's own Clan.
He used public funds, which would be reimbursed by the imperial court later.
Since Lin Fan moved the Clan to such a dangerous place, Emperor Zhao naturally had to show some gesture.
Moreover, this small amount of Yellow Grade Origin Stones was nothing to the national treasury.
Subsequently, Lin Fan inspected this land of nearly ten million square kilometers.
From now on, this would be the territory of the Lin Clan.
Currently, there were no powers existing in this region.
As for common people, there were even fewer.
Because this place was close to the coastline, the Demonic Beasts always landed from these places during every beast tide.
Ordinary common people simply could not survive here.
