It turns out, they were the main characters.

The sect leader of the Liangyi Sect, the Azure Emperor, the Demon Queen, and even the gods of the Southern Wilderness and the Buddha of the Western Regions, all of whom were powerful figures at the Dao Integration Realm, had resonated with the Great Dao long ago, when the laws of heaven and earth still allowed it.

In this special period, those at the Returning to Void Realm are already the strongest.

The Enlightenment Realm, however, has been interrupted for a very long time.

Therefore, in this day and age, it is almost impossible to find even a single seed of enlightenment.

Even Zhou Hao, who was quite dissatisfied with Mu Zhian, was somewhat stunned at this moment.

A ripple appeared in the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi standing to the side. Although she remained silent, it was not difficult to see her surprise from her slightly parted red lips.

For these young geniuses, the value of the Enlightenment Seed can no longer be measured in spirit stones.

After all, refining a Seed of Enlightenment means that future cultivation will be smoother, and even at the peak of the Returning to Emptiness stage, one may be able to advance to the Enlightenment Realm by relying on the refined Seed of Enlightenment.

If someone were to defy the laws of heaven and earth and enter the realm of enlightenment... just thinking about this possibility is enough to make one's heart flutter.

This person, whose name I'd never heard of before, actually gave away his Enlightenment Seed just to pursue a woman?

The disciples of the sect all had burning passion in their eyes, but they all remained calm.

This is the Liangyi Sect, and this place is Liangyi Peak... No one would dare to cause trouble in such a place.

This was a decision that Mu Zhian made after considering it for a long time.

The Enlightenment Seed can be refined in just one day, so no one in Liangyi Peak would dare to harbor any ill intentions.

Moreover, after Lan Mulian refines the Enlightenment Seed in the future, its secret will still be exposed during the second and even the third tribulation.

After refining the Enlightenment Seed, one's cultivation speed will be faster than others, and the spiritual energy brought by the Enlightenment Seed will also be present during tribulations.

Since it's bound to be discovered sooner or later, might as well be more carefree.

Seeing this, many disciples couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"If I had the Enlightenment Seed, I would probably consider giving it away, but I would still hesitate... Mu Zhian is really willing to give it up."

"Hey, come on, you really have a Seed of Enlightenment and you'd be willing to give it away? You probably refined it long ago, right?" A disciple standing nearby couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

"In the end, there are too few people as affectionate as Mu Zhian. If it were me, I would have refined the Enlightenment Seed long ago. How could I possibly keep it to give away today?" a disciple couldn't help but sigh.

It's not that giving my senior sister the Enlightenment Seed isn't worthwhile, it's just that people are selfish. Compared to making others stronger, they will naturally prioritize themselves.

After refining the Enlightenment Seed, my strength has increased. Why should I be afraid of not being able to win the heart of a beauty?

Perhaps it's impossible to pursue a cold and aloof beauty like Lan Mulian, but it's not out of the question to settle for someone less powerful but with superior looks.

Compared to the male disciples, many female disciples in the sect looked at Mu Zhian with a different kind of interest.

No female disciple dislikes romance. To deliver a congratulatory gift to her senior sister, she rushed back to Tianxuan City day and night to buy pastries, and even used up three Rank 5 pills along the way. For the male disciples, this might seem a bit wasteful, but the way men and women think is different after all.

Some of the female disciples found Mu Zhi'an's actions touching.

If I had such a Daoist partner, it would surely add a lot of color to my boring meditation practice.

The young talents who came from outside remained silent, gazing at the scene in silence.

For these talented disciples from various powerful forces, giving away pills and the like is something they can be quite generous with, but when it comes to Enlightenment Seeds... that's not very realistic.

At the back of the crowd, a monk, with dazzling golden light emanating from behind him, clasped his hands together, his gaze calm, and whispered, "Amitabha."

A golden aura seemed to emanate from him, calming him down.

The allure of this seed of enlightenment made his previously unwavering Buddhist mind somewhat unstable.

As the voice faded, many disciples of the sect looked at the monk behind them in surprise, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Leiyin Temple in the Western Regions has actually sent people here?

It should be noted that the Western Regions are very, very far from the Eastern Continent. If an ordinary person were to travel by bicycle, it might take several years to reach the Eastern Continent from the Western Regions.

Moreover, the very first sentence he uttered calmed down many of the people present who were moved... This shows just how strong this monk's spiritual level must be.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi stared intently at the Enlightenment Seed in Lan Mulian's hand. After a long silence, she finally spoke softly, "It seems that Mu Zhian's transformation from a spoiled brat to a wise and virtuous man is not as simple as it appears."

This Mu Zhian is not as despicable as Zhou Hao just described.

At least if someone were willing to travel thousands of miles to the city to buy her osmanthus cake and thoughtfully consider her needs, even a saint would be tempted.

I suppose this Senior Sister Lan is the same way.

However, for the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, this only amounted to a slight attraction.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's resolve could not be shaken by this.

Her real purpose in coming to the Liangyi Sect was for the Azure Emperor; as for the rest... it had little to do with her.

"He was pursuing other girls before, but now he's turned his attention to Lan Mulian. This fickle behavior is despicable," Zhou Hao sneered.

"Pah, what do you mean by being fickle? If I really gave you two or three beautiful Daoist partners, wouldn't you take them?" A merciless sneer came from the side, causing Zhou Hao to turn his head to look.

"Who?!"

The man who spoke was dressed simply, with a few copper coins hanging from his waist. He looked rather nonchalant, and at that moment, he was leisurely looking around at the female disciples, as if he was looking for something.

"Master Calculator, what does this have to do with you?" Zhou Hao's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the seemingly casual male disciple.

"Hey, what I despise most are you ancient families. You're good for nothing but scheming and hypocrisy," the fortune teller said with a squinting smile.

"If you were offered three beautiful women at the same time, would you be willing? Or would you choose to spend your life with your true love?" he asked.

Zhou Hao sneered, "Naturally, the latter—"

"Do you dare swear to Heaven?" the fortune teller asked.

Zhou Hao paused for a moment, then sneered, "Why should I swear to heaven because of a few words from you?"

"Look, look, if you don't dare, you don't dare. Why pretend to be a big shot?" the fortune teller chuckled.

Ye Yu said in a deep voice, "If it is truly the person one loves, I think most disciples would choose the latter and spend their lives with their beloved."

The fortune teller narrowed his eyes slightly, calculated with his fingers, and pondered, "Hmm... if I remember correctly, after you came to the sect, you seemed to have had affairs with three female disciples. It seems you were a bit fickle, right?"

"And some of the male disciples present also seem to have close relationships with quite a few female disciples, and several of them have more than one Daoist partner..."

Now, not only Ye Yu and Zhou Hao, but even many disciples present couldn't hold back anymore, finding it hard to accept the other party's sarcastic remarks.

However, that's not entirely wrong. For cultivators, things like "having one foot in two boats" or "being indecisive" are just excuses used to criticize others.

If it's consensual, no one will interfere.

Ultimately, if given the chance to have close contact with several beautiful women, how many of the male disciples present could refuse?

It's just that none of us have that ability, and we're a little jealous of what Mu Zhian did.

The fortune teller's words struck a nerve with many people.

The conversation between the group naturally attracted Mu Zhian's attention. His gaze then fell on the somewhat unkempt young man who was arguing with the crowd not far away, and his eyes were filled with doubt.

Lan Mulian's gaze narrowed slightly, and she said in a clear and melodious voice, "The senior brother of Tianji Peak?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the sect present couldn't help but look at the disheveled young man, as if trying to recall his identity.

"The senior disciple of Tianji Peak? I don't think I've ever heard of that name before..."

"Indeed, I've never heard of the name 'Divine Calculator'... Does such a person really exist in our sect?" someone asked hesitantly.

“I remember now! I heard my senior sister say that when the senior brother of Tianji Peak was still in the sect, he often spied on other people’s secrets, causing chaos among the major peaks and offending many people. Later, he was besieged by many disciples and secretly slipped out of Liangyi Sect one night. Since then, no one has seen him again.”

"I never expected that so many people would still remember the past experiences of Brother Divine Calculator. It's truly an honor," the Divine Calculator said with a smile.

Then, he looked Mu Zhian up and down again and said with a puzzled look, "Junior brother, I see that your face is dark, as if something big is about to happen... If you had 50,000 spirit stones, I might be able to help you get through this."

This person is interesting; he actually managed to scam me... Mu Zhian smiled slightly and said gently, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother, but if this is my destiny, then let it come."

Just as the fortune teller was about to continue speaking, he suddenly seemed to sense something, his expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself, "This is bad... Someone is coming for us. Everyone, we'll meet again!"

Having said that, he turned around and fled on his sword like a stray dog, seemingly hiding from something.

The farce ended abruptly, and Lan Mulian quietly withdrew her gaze, fixing it on Mu Zhian. Her small lips, hidden beneath the thin veil, pursed slightly as she transmitted her voice, "Where did you get this Enlightenment Seed?"

"The waiter gave it to me when I went to Chaohai Inn to buy osmanthus cakes," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Lan Mulian pursed her lips, naturally disbelieving: "The Enlightenment Seed will be of great help to your future cultivation. Take it back and refine it later."

Mu Zhian replied helplessly via telepathy: "The Enlightenment Seed is useless to me; it will run into the Heavenly Furnace on its own."

"..."

After a brief silence, Lan Mulian transmitted her voice with a hint of teasing: "Brother Mu, you are just like me, a natural furnace for cultivation."

"What's the same?" Mu Zhian asked, puzzled.

"I want everything," Lan Mulian said calmly.

Mu Zhian: "..."

"Senior sister is getting better and better at teasing people. She wasn't like this before..." Mu Zhi'an sighed inwardly. Then, noticing the teasing in Lan Mulian's eyes, he knew she wasn't really angry, so he turned and left with peace of mind.

Ye Lingxuan looked at the boy who had returned to her side, raised her head and said with a slight smile, "Brother Mu is so generous and magnanimous, he even gives away the Enlightenment Seed."

His voice was calm, but his tone clearly carried a hint of sarcasm.

Mu Zhian had anticipated this, shook his head and sighed, and transmitted his voice, "The Enlightenment Seed is of no use to me, and my senior sister has taken good care of me in the past. If I can really step into the Enlightenment Realm in the future, my safety will be more guaranteed."

"As you know, your brother Mu offended a lot of people in Tianxuan City before. If they become stronger and come looking for trouble with me in the future..." Mu Zhian looked quite helpless.

Ye Lingxuan frowned, clearly displeased, and said, "I can protect you too."

Mu Zhian smiled with satisfaction and said, "I believe in Lingxuan's talent. I'll have to trouble you then."

Hearing Mu Zhian's praise, Ye Lingxuan's brows relaxed, and she nodded gently.

"When I inherit the legacy, I'll bring Brother Mu back to the forbidden area to be with me. That way, Brother Mu won't have to worry about any enemies," she said.

If Ye Lingxuan really becomes the next leader of the forbidden zone in the future, it wouldn't hurt to accompany her to stay in the forbidden zone for a few days... Mu Zhian smiled and nodded.

Next, several other external forces presented their congratulatory gifts, and Lan Mulian thanked them one by one, maintaining her consistent style.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled and handed over an exquisite little wooden box, saying, "Senior Sister Lan, congratulations on your progress in refining your spirit and returning to the void. It's nothing valuable, so please don't find it too expensive."

Lan Mulian smiled so sweetly that everything around her paled in comparison.

"If Nirvana Silk isn't considered valuable, then there's probably nothing valuable at all."

Nirvana silk is only produced in Yaochi. If Nirvana silk is used to make clothes, it will not only be beautiful, but also have a strong protective effect.

If it weren't for the Enlightenment Seed given to them by Mu Zhian, this Nirvana Silk would probably have caused quite a stir.
