"Master, after Elder De learned that I returned from the Eternal Immortal Sect, he sent me some fire seeds. I will give them to you now."
"Good." Tan Yun was overjoyed.
Shen Subing flicked her fingers, and three identical fire seeds appeared.
"Not bad, these are all ice attribute supreme treasure grade fire seeds: dark ice iron flame!" Tan Yun laughed heartily as he waved his hand, collecting the three dark ice iron flames into the Qiankun Ring.
"Master, Elder De also said that within a month, he will bring you the low-grade sub-respect grade fire seeds of the ice attribute and two fire attribute ones."
"Also, Elder De asked me to tell you that he has been transferred to the Huangfu headquarters by the sovereign, so if you need anything in the future, just go to Huangfu headquarters."
"I'll remember that." Tan Yun felt as if he was bathed in spring breeze, his starry eyes filled with hope. "Once the primordial ice flame devours the dark ice iron flame, it will surely advance, and at that time, I'll have another unexpected means to defeat my enemies!"
Thinking of this, Tan Yun stood up and looked at Shen Subing, saying, "Let's go, take me back to your hometown to see your father's condition."
"Master, we really are in sync." Shen Subing smiled gracefully, linking her arm with Tan Yun's as they walked outside.
Upon reaching the summit, Shen Subing said, "Master, I also want to experience the feeling of void sky crossing. Why don't you take me flying?"
Shen Subing extended her delicate hand, hoping Tan Yun would take her flying.
Of course, Tan Yun disagreed! What if a sudden gust of wind in the sky blew up the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, revealing that she was flying on the golden dragon spirit lion?
Tan Yun awkwardly replied, "Don't you have a Spirit Vessel? I prefer to ride the Spirit Vessel; it's much more comfortable that way."
"Oh... then fine." Shen Subing, somewhat disappointed, withdrew her hand and summoned the supreme grade sub-respect artifact Spirit Vessel, carrying Tan Yun out of the Danmai Mountain Gate and flying towards the entrance of the Huangfu Secret Realm...
Two hours later, the Spirit Vessel flew out of the Huangfu Secret Realm and headed towards the southern mountain range of the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range...
"Subing, where is your hometown?" Tan Yun asked.
Shen Subing's expression turned solemn. "Back then, Gongsun Yangchun framed my father, causing him to lose his cultivation level at the hands of the sovereign. My mother and father then settled in the mountains three hundred thousand miles south of the sect, living incognito."
"Don't be sad; you will have your day to take revenge on your enemies." Tan Yun encouraged her.
"Yes, I believe that!" Shen Subing clenched her fragrant fist, her gaze resolute.
"Oh, by the way, Subing." Tan Yun asked, "What is your real name?"
"Master, Subing is my true name." Shen Subing replied, "In the Huangfu Sacred Sect, only Qingfeng, Qingqiu, Wend, and you, Master, know my identity. Others do not, so using my real name is fine."
"I see..." Tan Yun responded.
At a distance of three hundred thousand miles, traveling at the speed of the supreme grade sub-respect artifact Spirit Vessel, they would arrive in a day and a half.
The Spirit Vessel descended vertically from the sky, finally hovering halfway up an unremarkable mountain peak.
Shen Subing released her spiritual sense and, finding no one around, flicked her fingers. A streak of spiritual power shot into a giant rock, and immediately, the rock rippled like water, revealing a shimmering curtain on its surface.
Seeing this, Tan Yun understood that Shen Subing's hometown was in a Small Secret Realm, and the giant rock was the entrance.
"Master, let's go in." Shen Subing smiled lightly, took Tan Yun's hand, and stepped through the giant rock, the two of them vanishing into thin air.
The giant rock continued to stand firm against the erosion of time, unmoved at halfway up the mountain.
After Tan Yun appeared in the Secret Realm, a wave of fragrance wafted towards him. What he saw was a sea of peach blossoms spreading out over a radius of ten miles.
