After the shock, Dantai Zhongde's white eyebrows twitched. "Although I am an appraiser, I am not a sacred alchemist and cannot determine the authenticity of this alchemical formula. How about this, esteemed guest, let us go to the Holy Gate together, and the elders of the Holy Gate Danmai can authenticate it for you?"
"The Holy Gate?" Tan Yun raised an eyebrow. "I have other matters to attend to, and I don't have time to go to the Holy Gate. How about this, you can take the formula yourself, and I won’t go."
Tan Yun hesitated slightly, "It’s inconvenient for me to reveal my name. How about this, in the future, if you wish to find me, Elder De can come to Ice Clear Immortal Mountain and inform Shen Subing to raise a flag at the summit of Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain. When I see the flag, I will come to Huangfu Shengxing."
"Ah, I forgot to mention, Shen Subing is my disciple."
A hint of shock and skepticism appeared in Dantai Zhongde's murky eyes, "The Ice Clear Chief is your disciple?"
"Yes, I noticed her talent and aptitude today, so I accepted her as my disciple." Tan Yun said this naturally to avoid revealing his identity. Only by bringing up Shen Subing could Dantai Zhongde let him go without confirming the authenticity of the formula.
"Elder De, of course, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to Ice Clear Immortal Mountain to verify."
Upon hearing this, Dantai Zhongde chuckled, "No need, I trust you. Besides, we will be working together often in the future; I wouldn’t be petty enough to verify it!"
Tan Yun nodded, "I have one more request, and I hope Elder De can agree."
"Feel free to say it."
"Elder De, when you take the formula to confirm its authenticity, please do not mention its origin; just say that it was found by you at Huangfu Shengxing. Is that alright?"
"Rest assured, esteemed guest. Protecting our customers' privacy is the foundation of our Huangfu Shengxing. I won't disclose that you provided the formula to anyone outside of Huangfu Shengxing. Even if I do tell someone, it will only be the higher-ups of Huangfu Shengxing."
Tan Yun expressed satisfaction, "Then I can rest easy. I will take the Outer Purple Meteoric Iron now. I have matters to attend to, so we shall part ways here."
Tan Yun stored the Outer Purple Meteoric Iron from the jade table into the Qiankun Ring, stood up with cupped fists, and turned to leave.
"Take care, esteemed guest," Dantai Zhongde said as he stood up, cupped his fists, opened the pavilion door, and gestured invitingly.
This scene left the eight chief disciples and hundreds of thousands of disciples who were watching the Number Three Supreme VIP Pavilion in disbelief!
This was the first time they witnessed Dantai Zhongde being so attentive to a customer, personally opening the door for them!
"Elder De, please stay." Tan Yun's calm voice reached everyone's ears, aiming to make those with ulterior motives think that he was someone extraordinary!
"No problem, no problem. I have nothing to do, so I’ll send you off," Dantai Zhongde deliberately raised his voice, "This way, it also saves others from being disrespectful to you."
"Then I thank you, Elder." Tan Yun stepped out of the pavilion door, walking steadily past the Number Two and Number One Supreme VIP Pavilions. He didn’t need to look to guess the unsightly expressions of the Holy Spirit Path Practitioners and Five Soul Daoists!
As expected, at this moment, not only were the Holy Spirit Path Practitioners and Five Soul Daoists' faces ashen, but even the Murong Daoist in the Number Four Supreme VIP Pavilion, along with the other five chief disciples, looked the same!
They all speculated about who Tan Yun really was and what kind of valuable item he had presented to make Dantai Zhongde's attitude shift so dramatically!
Dantai Zhongde escorted Tan Yun to the corner of the sixth floor and then stopped, pointing to a closed room, "This is the VIP Teleportation Array. Inside, there are nine single-direction teleportation arrays directly leading to the city gates, each corresponding to the nine meridians. Entering the teleportation array will allow direct transport thousands of miles away."
