Tan Yun replied, “Divine King Lord, during my previous training, I accidentally stumbled upon it in a cave dwelling. It is a rare divine herb that can conceal one's soul, and I believe it might be the reason why it is not widely known.”
Mu Feng Divine King looked intrigued, “Interesting. You must have encountered many unusual things during your experiences. Tell me more about it.”
Tan Yun nodded and continued, “The Soul-Concealing Divine Herb is not only rare but also possesses unique properties that can protect one’s soul from detection, making it invaluable for those who seek to hide their presence.”
Mu Feng Divine King stroked his beard thoughtfully, “Such a treasure could be immensely useful in the Divine Realm. Do you still have any of it left?”
Tan Yun hesitated for a moment before responding, “Unfortunately, I only have a small amount remaining. However, I can share it with you, Divine King Lord, as a token of gratitude for your guidance.”
The divine king waved his hand dismissively, “No need for that. Your safety and cultivation are what matter most. Make sure you keep it for yourself.”
Tan Yun felt a warm glow of appreciation for the divine king's kindness, “Thank you, Divine King Lord. I will treasure it.”
Mu Feng Divine King then changed the subject, “So, what are your plans after this? Are you considering flying to the Divine Realm soon?”
Tan Yun's expression turned serious, “Yes, I have been preparing for my ascension. With the right cultivation level and resources, I hope to step into the celestial god realm within this year.”
“Good. You are determined, and that drive will serve you well. Just remember, the higher you ascend, the tougher the challenges you will face,” Mu Feng Divine King advised.
Tan Yun responded earnestly, “I understand, Divine King Lord. I will be cautious and strive to strengthen my abilities.”
“Very well. If you ever need assistance, just let me know. I will do what I can to help,” Mu Feng Divine King said, a hint of a smile on his face.
“Thank you, Divine King Lord! Your support means everything to me,” Tan Yun exclaimed, filled with gratitude.
As they continued their conversation, the bond between them grew stronger, marked by mutual respect and understanding.
“The classic contained annotations about the Soul-Concealing Divine Herb, which is how I came to know of it.”
“Oh, I see,” Mu Feng Divine King nodded in understanding and then asked, “Yun'er, where do you come from?”
Tan Yun replied honestly, “I ascended from the Mortal Plane.”
“Not bad, not bad!” Mu Feng Divine King smiled. “Since you have no home in the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm, how about following me to Wooden Blaze Divine King City?”
Beside them, Mu Wanquing pouted her cherry-like lips, realizing that her grandfather valued this Jing Yun quite a lot.
Would Tan Yun go?
Of course not!
If he went, being under the watchful eyes of Mu Feng Divine King for a long time, his cultivation techniques would eventually be seen through.
Thinking of this, Tan Yun clasped his fists and said, “Thank you for your kindness, divine king lord. I am used to my freedom and would prefer to explore the outside world more.”
Tan Yun's refusal surprised Mu Feng Divine King.
In Mu Feng Divine King's view, if it were someone else, they would certainly feel grateful and follow him back. He never expected Tan Yun to decline.
Mu Feng Divine King smiled kindly, “Good, good, good! You are ambitious; young people should indeed venture out into the world…”
Before Mu Feng Divine King could finish his sentence, Mu Wanquing playfully said, “Grandpa, you are absolutely right! So this time, don’t drag me back. I also want to explore!”
Mu Feng Divine King felt embarrassed, glaring at Mu Wanquing, and said sternly, “You’re just a girl; what do you need to explore for? The outside world is very dangerous. What would happen if something happened to you?”
“Be more sensible for grandpa!”
Mu Wanquing seemed unafraid of Mu Feng Divine King as she muttered, “Really, if you didn’t come looking for me when I secretly ran out, how would you meet Jing Yun and have your divine king soul healed?”
