Lu Chen took the Heavenly Gang Refining Evil Pill to break through to the late-stage Earth Realm and sat before the stone table in the outer courtyard, waiting for Qu He to arrive.
About a quarter of an hour later, a servant approached Lu Chen and said: "Princely Heir, there is an elderly man at the door seeking an audience. He says his name is Qu He, and that you asked him to come."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately said, "Let him in."
"Yes, Princely Heir."
With that, the servant turned and left, and shortly thereafter, an elderly man dressed in simple linen walked into the courtyard.
His hair and beard were all white, like snow and frost, and his brows and eyes were deep and serene, showing no trace of fierceness.
