It turns out, they were the main characters.

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking of this, a disciple suddenly walked in at the entrance of the hall.

Ying Guhuan shifted her gaze slightly and asked, "What is it?"

The disciple clasped his hands in greeting to Ying Guhuan: "The elder sent by the head of Daofeng is waiting in front of the back mountain, wanting to take my junior brother to Daofeng."

"Yu Ziyan?" Ying Guhuan's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise in them.

The head of Daofeng is naturally indifferent, and Mu Zhian is not a disciple of Daofeng, so why would she look for Mu Zhian?

Because of the spirit dragon behind him?

That shouldn't be the case... Given that woman's arrogance, she wouldn't so openly reveal her intentions.

Moreover, Mu Zhian might not be able to persuade the spirit dragon to bestow fortune upon others.

"You may leave now," Ying Guhuan said.

Seeing the disciple leave, Mu Zhian also clasped his hands and said, "Master, if there is nothing else, this junior will also take his leave."

Facing a Void Returning Realm expert, especially someone like Yi Hao's master, Mu Zhi'an felt somewhat pressured.

Moreover, if Ying Gu Huan is indeed the seventh seat, we must be careful... After all, her goal might be the Heavenly Dao Qi. If she discovers that the Heavenly Dao Qi is with them, there will be huge trouble.

Ying Guhuan looked Mu Zhian up and down and said softly with a smile, "I didn't realize you were so popular~?"

Mu Zhian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "To be honest, my younger sister became an inner disciple of Dao Peak before, and the head disciple is probably so kind to me because of that."

"Your sister?"

“Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian,” Mu Zhian said.

Ying Guhuan's eyes flickered slightly, a meaningful look appearing in them, clearly indicating that he knew who was behind Ye Lingxuan.

"Senior, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now?" Mu Zhian asked.

Seeing Ying Guhuan nod slightly, Mu Zhian immediately turned and left.

At this moment, Ying Guhuan's eyes, which were originally as gentle and charming as spring water, suddenly became much deeper as she silently gazed at Mu Zhian's departing figure.

The spiritual energy is normal... It seems that the aura of Heaven is not on him.

However... I did discover some interesting things.

Ying Guhuan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Mu Zhian stopped in his tracks.

She was already somewhat concerned that the Pavilion Master of the Library had made an exception to accept Mu Zhian as an inner disciple, and the fact that the Dao Peak Chief had just sent someone to pick up Mu Zhian was even more surprising.

After all, the relationship between the Dao Peak Master and the Pavilion Master of the Library is extremely bad. Since Mu Zhi'an is an inner disciple of the Library, given the Dao Peak Master's personality, he should try to avoid contact with him. Why is he so enthusiastic towards him instead?

Just because of the Spirit Dragon?

This is highly likely.

However, it now appears that it's not simply because of the Spirit Dragon.

The answer is already quite clear.

Ying Gu Huan walked gracefully over, her alluring eyes captivating, and the corners of her lips curving into a charming smile.

She gently lifted Mu Zhi'an's chin with her slender fingers, gazed into his eyes, and whispered in his ear:

"Are you a born furnace?"

Upon hearing the question posed by the first leader of Canghai Peak, Mu Zhian glanced at her with slight surprise.

Then, I quickly felt relieved.

That's true. These are all cultivators at the Returning to the Void Realm. It's not difficult for them to detect changes in a disciple's spiritual energy.

"This junior is indeed a natural furnace," Mu Zhian replied respectfully.

Ying Gu Huan smiled and looked Mu Zhi'an up and down for a moment, then nodded slightly: "You may leave now. I will let you know if anything happens later."

Mu Zhian clasped his hands in a fist salute to the woman in the red dress, then turned and left the back mountain of Canghai Peak, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

Although this woman is beautiful, she is still not as good as Ruoxi... It's not just because the other party is a shark, but because all the current information indicates that the other party is very likely the "Seventh Seat" mentioned by the man in black robes that day.

If she is indeed the seventh seat, she must ensure that the Heavenly Dao Qi is not detected by the other party.

This is a bit tricky... Mu Zhian fell into deep thought.

The Heavenly Dao Qi is currently within Bai Ruoxi's body, and it seems that this first generation leader does not easily leave the back mountain, so the probability of discovering the Heavenly Dao Qi is very small.

The probability of being discovered is very small, but what if someone reports you?

Mu Zhian left the back mountain and met Elder Daofeng, who was waiting for him in front of the back mountain.

He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Elder."

The female elder was exceptionally beautiful with a sexy figure. When she saw Mu Zhian, her usually aloof face revealed a charming smile, and she nodded, saying, "Come with me."

Mu Zhian followed the female elder and unknowingly arrived at Dao Peak, where he met Yu Ziyan, who was meditating and cultivating, in front of the main hall.

"Chief, I have brought the person here," the female elder behind him said.

"I understand, you may leave now." Yu Ziyan still had her eyes slightly closed.

The female elder hesitated, then said, "Chief Elder—"

"Step back first." Yu Ziyan quietly opened her eyes and said with a smile.

Seeing that the elder had left, Yu Ziyan stood up and gestured for Mu Zhian to sit down in a seat to the side.

"Did Fellow Friend Mu just go to Canghai Peak?" the beautiful and elegant Daoist nun asked with a smile.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Senior Yi Hao's master seems to be somewhat interested in my affairs, so he asked me some questions."

"Yi Hao's master?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Yu Ziyan's eyes as she said softly, "She actually met with you?"

Could it be that she also knows about the innate furnace?

However, Ying Guhuan has not left Canghai Peak at all recently, so how did he know about this?

"What did she say?" Yu Ziyan asked.

"I only asked a few questions, but didn't say much," Mu Zhian shook his head.

"What kind of person is that Senior Ying?" he asked curiously.

Yu Ziyan smiled and looked Mu Zhian up and down, then asked, "Young friend Mu, are you interested in that chief?"

There was a hint of teasing in his words.

Mu Zhian shook his head helplessly and said, "How could this junior dare to have any interest in Senior... I'm just curious."

"After all, I heard that the first leader was a very powerful person. It's natural to feel uneasy that he suddenly summoned a junior like me..." As Mu Zhian said this, his eyes secretly sized up Yu Ziyan, hoping to get some information from her.

“I don’t know much about Chief Ying’s affairs. But I’ve met her once before, and she is indeed very strong.” Yu Ziyan paused, then continued, “However, if I can break through another rank, I will be able to catch up with her very soon.”

"The path to immortality is long and arduous. Many elders in the sect have been cultivating in the Void Returning Realm for a long time, spending most of their time in the Void Returning Realm."

Yu Ziyan played with the teacup in her hand and sighed softly, "It's not that cultivation is difficult, it's just that each grade requires a different understanding. If you don't have enough immortal affinity, it will take a long time."

Mu Zhian's interest was piqued, and he asked, "Is advancing to the Void Returning Realm very difficult?"

Yu Ziyan smiled and nodded: "It's difficult, but the difficulty lies in comprehending the Void Returning Realm. Most of the elders in the sect, including myself, have been stuck at a certain level for a long time."

Then, her tone suddenly changed: "But if a wisp of spiritual energy were to be injected into it at this moment, there would be a chance to directly advance..."

As she said this, her gaze inadvertently glanced at Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhi'an knew perfectly well what was going on, but he obediently sat up straight, held the teacup with both hands, took a small sip, and asked calmly, "Where did this wisp of spiritual energy come from?"

“Help from outside sources,” Yu Ziyan said.

"This wisp of spiritual energy cannot rely on the spiritual energy within its own cauldron, but must rely on... another cauldron."

The implication in those words is quite clear.

At that moment, Mu Zhian suddenly realized something.

Master Yan probably recruited me as an inner disciple because he was lusting after my body...

He took a small sip of tea and sighed, "I never imagined that cultivating to the Void Returning Realm would be so difficult."

Then, he continued, "Senior has given me a lot of help. If there is anything I can do to help in the future, I will do my best."

"However, with my current abilities, it will probably be a long time before I can be of any help to you, senior..."

Yu Ziyan smiled and nodded: "Young friend Mu is too modest."

After all, what matters is not Mu Zhian's strength, but his other vessel.

With this cauldron, all possibilities begin.

Perhaps, one day in the future, I will be able to advance to the Enlightenment Realm.

As Yu Ziyan thought of this, looking at Mu Zhian's handsome face, she suddenly remembered something else.

If I remember correctly, the stronger the owner of a natural cultivation vessel, the better the effect of dual cultivation...

After all, the stronger one is, the greater the spiritual energy within the cauldron.

Moreover, after advancing to the Refining Spirit Realm, the cauldron can be expanded more than twice its original size...

Yu Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly, and she calmly took out two jade bottles from her sleeve and placed them on Mu Zhian's table.

Mu Zhian glanced at the jade bottle, hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Yu Ziyan and asked, "Senior, what is this...?"

"Put the Qi-Gathering Pill into the bathtub. Cultivating inside will make it twice as effective." Yu Ziyan said with a kind smile, her eyes filled with the care of an elder for a younger generation.

"She really is a rich woman..." Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Senior, I can't accept your things for nothing."

Yu Ziyan smiled gently: "You have brought two young geniuses to my peak this time, so I should give you some reward. Besides, my junior sister and I are from the same school and have a close relationship. Young friend Mu, there is no need to refuse."

"There are thirty Qi Gathering Pills in these two jade bottles. Refining these pills is not difficult for me, so please don't worry about them. Young friend Mu, please accept them."

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yu Ziyan with gratitude and said respectfully, "Thank you, senior!"

Next, Yu Ziyan chatted with Mu Zhian for a few more minutes, her tone revealing the concern of an elder for a younger generation.
