Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 570 Annual Changes in the External Environment

Inside the Time-Space Palace, Lin Chen toiled day and night, while the outside world seemed to be fast-forwarding.

Every time he pushed open the door, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

The person has changed, their cultivation has changed, and even the trees in the yard have become thicker.

When Lin Chen emerged from seclusion for the third time, Liu Ruyan was already a mid-stage Celestial Immortal.

Lin Chen sighed, "Your cultivation has increased even faster than mine did back then."

"How dare you say that?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him.

"You've been stuffing so much good stuff into our home. If we don't improve ourselves, how can we justify all those miracle cures you've given us?"

Lin Chen thought about it and realized it made sense. He had given away so many good things, so it was reasonable for him to have his current cultivation level.

Qin Shuyan later surpassed him and also became a master in the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Xiao Yulou is the most powerful, a late-stage Celestial Immortal. His sword light flashes, and it's more than a level more formidable than it was ten years ago.

Chu Yueyao practiced medicine and helped people every day, and her cultivation level reached the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Wen Ruoxi spends all her time at the Chamber of Commerce and has reached the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Ye Qingying stayed in the room day and night, reaching the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Murong Xue and Su Xiaoxiao played chess in the pavilion every day, one on the left and one on the right, both of them were at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Zhao Mingyue helps Liu Ruyan manage the household; she is a late-stage Celestial Immortal.

Blue Phoenix, mid-stage Celestial Immortal.

Liu Shengxue, early stage of Heavenly Immortal.

Yao Yao, late-stage Celestial Immortal.

Each one is fiercer and faster than the last.

Lin Chen went around to each of them and was scolded by each of them.

"So you finally decided to come back?"

"How long did you walk this time?"

"The children hardly recognize you anymore."

Lin Chen smiled apologetically and tried to appease them one by one.

Lingbo stood by the window, her white robes fluttering, like a jade sculpture.

When Lin Chen pushed the door open and went in, she didn't even turn her head.

"You're back?"

"Um."

"How many days will you be staying this time?"

"Half a month."

Lingbo turned around and glanced at Lin Chen: "Half-step Saint Venerable!"

Lin Chen was taken aback: "So fast?"

"With the talent of an emperor's bloodline, plus the pills and dual cultivation techniques you provided, there's no way you can slow down even if you want to." Lingbo's tone was indifferent, but a slight smile played at the corners of her lips.

"Your technique is indeed quite useful."

"Shall I help you strengthen it again?"

Lingbo rolled her eyes at Lin Chen but didn't say anything.

But the lights in her room stayed on for most of the night.

The old lady is in better spirits than before.

Lin Chen squatted down next to her and massaged her legs:

"Grandmother, you are even healthier than I am."

The old lady chuckled and patted Lin Chen's head: "You silly child, you always know how to say nice things."

"I'm serious, you look younger than you did ten years ago."

"Glib-tongued."

Su Wanqing sat beside her embroidering, her stitches still fine and delicate.

A peony takes shape in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, and it's incredibly lifelike.

"Mother, your skills are worth a lot of money if you sell them."

Su Wanqing didn't even look up: "Can I sell what I embroider? I only embroider for my grandchildren to wear."

"Then embroider one for me too."

"You?" Su Wanqing looked up at Lin Chen. "Can you even wear all of these? How many outfits do you have piled up in your closet?"

Lin Chen touched his nose and remained silent.

The children have changed the most.

When Lin Nian'er was ten years old, she broke through to the Grandmaster level while sitting cross-legged in the courtyard.

A strange phenomenon occurred: all the flowers in the yard bloomed at the same time, their red, yellow, blue, purple, and white hues carpeting the ground.

Liu Ruyan stood under the eaves, her eyes red-rimmed, tugging at Lin Chen's sleeve:

"Nian'er has grown up."

Lin Chen patted Liu Ruyan's hand: "She'll grow even bigger in the future."

Liu Ruyan glared at Lin Chen: "Can't you speak properly?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Lin Nian'er opened her eyes, spiritual energy still swirling around her. She jumped up, rushed over, and hugged Lin Chen tightly.

"Father! I've broken through!"

"Amazing!"

"You're praising me!"

"That's amazing!"

"not enough!"

"Extremely amazing! The most amazing in the world!"

Lin Nian'er was finally satisfied and hugged Lin Chen's neck, giving him a big kiss.

Lin Nianjun broke through to the Grandmaster level at the age of seven, which stirred up a storm in Lin Chen's heart.

What was he doing when he was seven years old?

Are they raiding a bird's nest?

No, according to Su Wanqing, he was still wetting the bed when he was seven years old.

Lin Nianbei, Lin Nianying, Lin Nianjie, Lin Nianze, Lin Nianzhao, Lin Niansu, Lin Nianruo, and Lin Nianxing are all quite accomplished, having become grandmasters at such a young age.

A group of children huddled together, chattering and comparing their skills and talents, each one more frightening than the last.

The Valley of Joy has also changed.

When the number of disciples reached 100,000, Yan Ruyu personally called a halt to the expansion.

"That's enough." She stood on the steps of the Hehuan Hall, looking at the girls still queuing at the valley entrance. "We can't manage any more than that."

Mei Jiu Niang, munching on melon seeds nearby, asked, "What about those in line?"

"Tell them that Hehuan Valley will not accept any new members for the next hundred years; say it's a case of being destined to meet but not to be together!"

Mei Jiu Niang threw down the melon seed shells: "Master, you're so heartless! A hundred years!"

Yan Ruyu glanced at Mei Jiuniang: "Aren't you ruthless? You chased away that little girl who was crying and wanted to see Lin Chen yesterday."

"She's crying too loudly." Mei Jiu Niang rolled her beautiful eyes.

"Besides, Lin Chen isn't here, so seeing him wouldn't make a difference."

Yan Ruyu didn't speak. Indeed, if it weren't for Lin Chen, how could they have joined the sect?

You should know that the reputation of the Hehuan Sect wasn't very good before.

The girls queuing at the entrance of Hehuan Valley received a notice that they would have to wait at the valley entrance for half a year.

They only dispersed after Lin Chen came out of seclusion to inform them and provided them with travel expenses and compensation.

Since then, the number of female disciples in the Hehuan Sect has been set at 100,000.

Ten thousand girls, ten thousand kinds of beauty, ten thousand souls, ten thousand rays of light.

The sea of ​​flowers in Hehuan Valley is larger than before, there are more small bridges, and the pavilions are more densely packed.

The air was filled with the laughter of girls.

Some people are washing clothes by the river, some are playing chess in the pavilion, and some are playing the zither in the tower.

The sounds of piano, laughter, and water blended together, like a song that would never end.

Every time Lin Chen came, he was surrounded by a huge crowd.

"Young Master Lin!"

"Young Master Lin has arrived!"

"Young Master Lin, look at me! I have a new hairstyle today!"

"Young Master Lin, I've broken through to become a terrestrial immortal!"

Lin Chen was surrounded by a group of girls, unable to move. He could only praise, coax, and comfort them one by one.

Yan Ruyu's cultivation level broke through from the early stage of True Monarch to the late stage of True Monarch.

In a sea of ​​flowers, she wore a flowing white dress and had snow-white hair, looking like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

When Lin Chen emerged from seclusion, she was standing among the flowers watching the sunset.

"You seem to have a lot of free time." Lin Chen walked over and stood next to her.

"Me, free and easy?" Yan Ruyu glanced at Lin Chen.

"I manage the daily food, clothing, and training schedules of my 100,000 disciples."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work." Yan Ruyu turned her head and continued to watch the sunset. "It's easier than yours."

Sometimes, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but sigh, "Lin Chen was born for this job."

Working day and night without getting sick is something even the founder of the Hehuan Sect couldn't do.

Mei Jiu Niang broke through to the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm. Her purple dress was alluring, and her seductive arts made Lin Chen unable to extricate himself.

Chi Meng broke through from the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm to the late stage of the True Monarch realm, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to raising her and Lin Chen's son, Chi Jun.

When Lin Chen occasionally visited her and her son, he could clearly sense that her gaze had softened considerably compared to before.
