After that, Tan Yun informed Zhen Ji not to disclose their past identities to Xuan Yuan Rou.
He also revealed to Zhen Ji that Xuan Yuan Rou was the reincarnation of the spirit clan.
Upon hearing this, although Zhen Ji didn't say anything, her eyes were filled with worry.
She was deeply afraid that one day, Xuan Yuan Rou...
She feared that one day, once Xuan Yuan Rou regained her memory, she might turn against Tan Yun!
Tan Yun seemed to see through Zhen Ji's worries and said, “You don’t need to worry about me. I will handle it well.”
“Mm.” Zhen Ji nodded.
Suddenly, Tan Yun thought of something and furrowed his brows, saying, “Zhen Ji, on the first day I arrived in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, I encountered the City Lord's daughter in Skyreach Immortal City. From Ouyang Qianqian's words, I learned that Skyreach Immortal City never regards ascended immortals as lowly beings.”
“I had thought the City Lord of Skyreach Immortal City was a good person, but never expected him to act so ruthlessly towards your adoptive parents.”
“What enmity does your Zhen family have with Skyreach Immortal City?”
“There is no enmity.” Zhen Ji shook her head, “I really can’t think of any hatred between the Zhen family and Skyreach Immortal City.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. Once we leave the Abandoned City, we will take revenge.”
After saying this, Tan Yun called out to Xuan Yuan Rou and the others in the Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens, saying, “Rou'er, there was a misunderstanding between Zhen Ji and me earlier, but it has now been resolved.”
“From now on, Zhen Ji will be my younger sister.”
Xuan Yuan Rou noticed from Tan Yun's expression that he was hiding something.
Seeing that Tan Yun did not take the initiative to speak, she did not press further.
Xuan Yuan Rou said, “Tan Yun, now that all enemies have been eliminated, I plan to return to Qing Tian Immortal City and let all the Immortal Soldiers spread this good news, allowing low-level immortals to move into Xuan Yuan Immortal City, the Abandoned City, and other major immortal cities.”
“Let our low-level immortals no longer live in fear and displacement.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun nodded in agreement.
“Zhen Ji, I’m leaving,” Tan Yun said, looking at Zhen Ji.
“Brother, I want to go with you,” Zhen Ji said, “Please wait for me a moment while I arrange some affairs in the city.”
“Alright.” Tan Yun smiled.
Zhen Ji playfully stepped out of the Guest Hall and returned shortly after.
After that, the golden dragon spirit lion carried everyone towards Qing Tian Immortal City...
On the way, Xuan Yuan Rou curiously asked Zhen Ji why she had advanced to the third level of the emperor realm so quickly.
Zhen Ji then told everyone about refining the supreme emperor sovereign pill.
Xuan Yuan Rou was shocked upon hearing this. She had heard that there were several kinds of immortal herbs missing in the Abandoned City for refining the supreme emperor sovereign pill, and never expected that Zhen Ji could actually refine it!
Without needing to think much, Xuan Yuan Rou also knew that Zhen Ji had profound mastery in the alchemical arts. She looked at Zhen Ji with curiosity and asked, “Zhen City Lord, Tan Yun also has high attainments in alchemical arts. I’m very curious to know, who among you is more skilled?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun and Zhen Ji exchanged smiles.
Zhen Ji smiled sweetly, “Of course, my brother's alchemical arts are superior; my alchemical skills are all taught to me by him.”
Tan Yun had not personally taught Zhen Ji alchemical arts.
Initially, he had compiled the renowned alchemical scripture known throughout All-Heavens and Myriad Realms and bestowed it to his disciple, Celestial Master Lingxia.
Since Zhen Ji was also a disciple of Celestial Master Lingxia, she received the alchemical scripture to comprehend the alchemical path.
Therefore, Zhen Ji had a very high level of alchemical mastery.
“Is that so?” Xuan Yuan Rou smiled brightly, “Tan Yun, you’re truly impressive.”
