“Master, I will remember it!” After Shen Subing respectfully responded, she asked in confusion, “Master, how strong is Celestial Master Lingxia? Is 'Celestial Master' her dao title?”

The title of Celestial Master is a name above the gods, something Tan Yun naturally understood Shen Subing did not know.

“It can be considered her dao title,” Tan Yun replied.

"So strong..." Shen Subing's face changed dramatically.

"Subing, I know you are obsessed with the alchemical arts," Tan Yun sighed. "But you must understand, no matter how powerful the alchemical arts are, they cannot compare to the cultivation techniques I allow you to practice. You need to dedicate more time to your cultivation in the future."

"Disciple remembers the master's teachings," Shen Subing replied, appearing extremely respectful at this moment, not daring to act recklessly in front of Tan Yun.

"Alright, you can get back to your business. I want to rest here for a while," Tan Yun understood that he needed to send Shen Subing away before he could leave himself.

If he left first and was discovered by Shen Subing, she would suspect that his flying sword control or flying magic treasure was merely a low-grade magic weapon. That would surely raise her suspicions!

"Yes, master, I will take my leave," Shen Subing said, appearing timid as she spoke.

Just as she turned around, Tan Yun's laughter rang out, "From now on, there's no need to be so restrained in front of me. I still prefer you to be as lively as before."

"Hehe... really?" Shen Subing suddenly turned back, her smile radiant as a blooming flower.

"Your face changes so quickly," Tan Yun remarked, somewhat speechless. Indeed, a woman's expressions can change like that of a three-year-old child.

"Master, I will take my leave now. If you want me to give you more massages, you must come to see me often!" Shen Subing smiled brightly as she flew out of the Ice Clear Hall, ascending into the sky and returning to her previous frosty demeanor, shooting toward the horizon...

To prevent Shen Subing from returning, Tan Yun stayed for another half an hour, ensuring that she was truly gone before hastily removing the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil and rushing outside the hall.

"You little brat, what are you doing here?" Just as Tan Yun stepped out of the hall, a voice of astonishment sounded from above.

"Damn, that was close." Tan Yun muttered to himself as Shen Qingfeng and Shen Wende landed in front of him on their flying swords.

"Disciple meets Elder Shen and Elder Six," Tan Yun bowed and said. "I came to find the chief elder to ask if I could ascend the Supreme Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda's 108th layer a second time within the year. But the chief elder isn't here."

"Oh, I see," Shen Qingfeng instructed. "You little brat, from now on, if the young lady is not here, you must absolutely not enter the Ice Clear Hall by yourself. If the young lady finds out, it would be a death sentence!"

"Understood, I will remember," Tan Yun said, genuinely fearful.

"As for ascending the pagoda, you no longer need to ask the young lady." Shen Qingfeng explained, "This rule was set by the ancestor master, and no one can change it lightly."

"Understood. If there's nothing else, I will take my leave," Tan Yun said, seeing Shen Qingfeng wave his hand, before summoning his flying sword and flying toward Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain...

Tan Yun had just returned to Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain when Big Bull came forward to congratulate him.

More than an hour ago, Shen Subing had come to find Shen Qingfeng. Finding him absent, she ordered Big Bull to arrange for her a cave dwelling on the Immortal Mountain with the most abundant spiritual energy when Shen Qingfeng returned.

After Tan Yun acknowledged this, he stepped on his flying sword and hovered above the summit of Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain, not noticing Elder De had raised a flag.

"It seems Elder De has not yet gathered all eleven materials for refining weapons."

"Well, I will head to the giant training ground for now and enter the Mid-Grade Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda to cultivate for a while, then come back to check."
