“Dreamtalk, don’t say anymore.” Tan Yun looked at the tearful Mu Mengyi, feeling heartbroken as he said, “This matter, I will handle it.”
“Mm.” Mu Mengyi nodded slightly, tears falling down her cheeks.
Tan Yun took a deep breath; regarding the primeval fetal soul matter, he absolutely could not let the nine great chiefs get involved.
For now, the only plan was to display his accomplishments in alchemical refinement, artifact forging, talisman refining, and formation crafting in front of the nine great chiefs, allowing one of them to take him in as a disciple.
In fact, if it weren't for his desire to peek at the Inner Sect's cultivation resources, Tan Yun wouldn't care at all about entering!
Determined, Tan Yun bowed deeply and respectfully said, “Disciple dares to ask, are there truly no chiefs willing to take in a disciple?”
“Hmph!” The holy spirit path practitioner spoke first, mocking, “What do you think, waste?”
A thousand head of grass mud horses galloped through Tan Yun's mind as he silently cursed the ancestors of the holy spirit path practitioner multiple times!
Just as Tan Yun was about to showcase his skills in pills, formations, artifacts, and talismans, the outer sect law enforcement elder Shen Qingqiu suddenly spoke up, “Various chiefs, I have a few words to ask Tan Yun, please allow me.”
“Granted.” The bing qing daoist spoke first, coldly.
“Thank you, Chief.” Shen Qingqiu swiftly ascended the Battle Rankings Platform, standing in front of Tan Yun with an unprecedented seriousness, “I only ask you one thing, after the trials ended, what you told me about your talent, is it true or false?”
Tan Yun recalled that at that time, Shen Qingqiu had asked him if he had supreme talent, to which he had replied, though not supreme talent, it was not inferior either.
Breaking the train of thought, Tan Yun answered truthfully, “Absolutely true.”
“Good, for your sake, I’ll go all out!” Shen Qingqiu's eyes were resolute, then he turned and knelt towards the bing qing daoist, “I sincerely request that you take Tan Yun into Danmai; I believe he will not disappoint you.”
“Shen Qingqiu, you are too bold!” The bing qing daoist, upon seeing Shen Qingqiu pleading for Tan Yun, revealed an expression of rage on her flawless face, “I wanted to take Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi, but because of this Tan Yun, I left empty-handed!”
“Now, among the nine great chiefs, I am the only one who hasn't taken in a disciple with supreme talent, and you want me to take in this waste fetal soul?”
“Shen Qingqiu, what are your true intentions?”
Hearing this, Shen Qingqiu's expression remained respectful as he spoke astonishingly, “Lady, this old servant has never recommended anyone to you, but I swear to the heavens, if you take Tan Yun into Danmai, he alone can compare with all the disciples who have completed the trials.”
Shen Qingqiu's right hand transformed into a sword finger, pointing to the heavens, his expression resolute, “I, Shen Qingqiu, swear that taking Tan Yun into Danmai will be a blessing for Danmai. Tan Yun will never embarrass you. If what I say does not come to pass within ten years at most, or five years at least, I will face heavenly retribution and die a terrible death!”
“Lady, I only ask that you take Tan Yun into Danmai, I beg you!”
After Shen Qingqiu made his vow, he did not get up!
This scene deeply shocked the hearts of all disciples, as they then realized that the outer sect law enforcement elder was actually a servant of the bing qing daoist!
Everyone found it hard to believe that Shen Qingqiu trusted Tan Yun to the extent of making such a deadly vow to ensure Tan Yun's entry into Danmai.
“Elder, you truly need not go this far.” Tan Yun’s figure flashed, appearing in front of Shen Qingqiu, his starry eyes filled with emotion.
Tan Yun had not expected that Shen Qingqiu would trust him to such an extent!
“If I don’t help you now, who else will?” Shen Qingqiu smiled kindly, and then still faced the bing qing daoist to bow again.
