Retreat every three years for a year?
This information made Li Ji'an feel something was off.
However, Chen Qingling clearly didn't know the reason either.
Not probing further, Li Ji'an left a Communication Talisman, expressing his hope to maintain contact with old family friends.
Before leaving, he left behind a bottle of Qi Blood Pills, a Pill Medicine he had refined for himself over the years, beneficial for Body Refining but now useless after reaching Perfection of the First Tier, slightly aiding Chen Zhaohu whose body cultivation was declining rapidly.
After bidding farewell to Chen Zhaohu and his brother, Li Ji'an rode his Flying Sword back to his clan's land.
The reason he made special efforts to connect with Red Stone Wanderer and Chen Qingling this time was that he had already planned to leave the Yan Family.
His weakest period in this life was now over, and staying any longer at the Yan Family, his Alchemy Skill and Talisman Art could no longer improve.
