It turns out, they were the main characters.

Upon hearing this, someone immediately remembered something and said, "If I remember correctly, he seemed to have given Senior Sister Lan an Enlightenment Seed a few days ago...?"

For a moment, the Dongzhou disciples who were drinking tea in the pavilion couldn't help but start talking about Mu Zhi'an.

"If Mu Zhian can even get his hands on the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness, then we have nothing more to say."

"I wonder what they're talking about right now," someone muttered to themselves, a hint of curiosity in their voice.

Just then, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out: "It seems quite lively today?"

The melodious sound, like jade being struck, drew the attention of many in the room.

This is a tall, aloof beauty. She wears a moon-white long dress, as pure and cold as frost and snow, and a light blue cloak to keep warm. She is elegant, noble, and refined.

The thin veil covering her face added to her alluring mystery.

"Senior Sister Lan!" Soon enough, a disciple from the sect couldn't help but call out, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"Why is Senior Sister Lan here too?!"

Many disciples greatly admire this senior sister who spends most of her time on Liangyi Peak.

Even though she rarely left Liangyi Peak, stories about her always circulated within the sect.

Even disregarding her beauty, this senior sister is one of the earliest geniuses among the younger generation to enter the Void Returning Realm. If she were to participate in the Ascension Conference this time, it would be nothing short of a dimensional reduction attack.

The gap between returning to emptiness and refining the spirit is not something that can be bridged by simply relying on trump cards or the like.

Moreover, Lan Mulian, who obtained the Enlightenment Seed, may very well have comprehended a wisp of 'Daoist charm'!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him invincible among his peers!

Why is my senior sister, who should be on Liangyi Peak, here?

While many people were filled with doubt, Lan Mulian smiled at them and then went to the third floor of the pavilion. Under the gaze of many, she entered an elegant room and met her younger sister.

She was dressed in a glamorous and exquisite red cheongsam, her hand supporting her chin, as if she had been waiting in the attic for a long time.

People outside were speculating about why this senior sister would appear in such a place, and even guessed several possibilities, but in reality the answer was not that complicated. Lan Mulian simply came to see her younger sister.

Lan Mulian glanced at Ye Yu, who was packing up the cauldron and preparing to leave below the platform, and Nigati, who was equally furious and powerless, and said calmly, "The important matter you mentioned, is that what you mean?"

She was naturally aware of the pill-refining contest that Ye Yu and Niga had just experienced.

However, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, and it's unclear why this younger sister would suddenly send me here by sending a message via paper crane.

Lan Feiying smiled and fiddled with her hair with her slender fingers, saying, "I called you here, sister, not for this matter."

Lan Mulian raised her cold eyes and gazed silently at Lan Feiying, saying nothing, simply waiting for her next answer.

These two sisters, one as pure and aloof as a snow lotus, the other as alluring as a rose, are completely different types in appearance and attire. No one would have guessed that these two would be descendants of the Lan family of Dongzhou, and even biological sisters.

"After taking the cultivation method test, I can feel that the cultivation method I learned before is not suitable, so I may have to choose a different cultivation method. Sister, can you help me take a look then?"

Lan Feiying smiled sweetly, and although it wasn't intentional, her every move seemed to have a unique charm that drew people's attention to her.

So you were talking about the Refining Spirit Realm... Lan Mulian nodded slightly and said, "Come find me at Liangyi Peak then."

After that, the two sisters chatted about other topics.

As they were chatting, Lan Feiying suddenly asked casually, "Speaking of which, how is your relationship with Young Master Mu progressing, sister?"

Lan Mulian's gaze froze slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said calmly, "He helped me a bit in the past, so I've been taking care of him in return. Have you had any unnecessary misunderstandings?"

"I see." Lan Feiying smiled and rested her chin on her hand, looking at her sister without saying a word.

Lan Mulian frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and casually looked away, saying, "Is there anything else?"

Although Lan Mulian is the older sister and is much stronger than her younger sister, she is clearly not as good as her sister when it comes to these trivial matters in life.

“It’s alright… but you can sit down and have a cup of tea to rest. Mu Zhian is here too, isn’t he? And he came with someone you would never expect.” Lan Feiying said with a smile.

As she finished speaking, a hint of mockery was clearly in her eyes.

Under Lan Mulian's tender gaze, Lan Feiying revealed the answer: "He came with the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness, didn't expect that, did you?"

"The Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness..." Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly as she murmured to herself, "How could they be together...?"

Logically speaking, Nanhuang and Muzhian should have no connection whatsoever, but... these two actually came to the attic to drink tea and chat?

After a brief moment of confusion, Lan Mulian gently put down her teacup, a faint smile appearing on her cool face.

"Then let's stay and keep watching."

……

Regina's gaze returned to Mu Zhian, and she parted her lips slightly, saying, "Young Master Mu, are you satisfied with this result?"

Mu Zhian smiled calmly: "Ms. Regina handled it perfectly. The child loves it. Five stars."

"Because of your matter, I've ruined my relationships with everyone around me. If Young Master Mu can't give me a satisfactory answer..."

Regina's slender fingers gently traced the rim of the teacup, her beautiful silver eyes gazing into Mu Zhian's eyes: "Even I would get angry."

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "Your status in the Southern Wilderness should be much higher than that of the person just now."

“There are four evil gods in the Southern Wilderness, each of whom is at the Dao Integration Realm. As for the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness… her status is indeed higher than that of Nigati,” Regina replied.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "The Southern Wilderness only sent two people this time, which means they must have a lot of confidence in you and Nigati?"

Regina smiled and said, "You can remove Nigati."

Although she usually appears pitiful and endearing, when she spoke at this moment, Regina's tone was filled with self-confidence, which gave her a unique charm.

“Tell me about the distribution in the Southern Wilderness, and your and Nigati’s abilities,” Mu Zhian said.

“Young Master Mu, this is not a problem, is it?” Regina pursed her lips unhappily, but still said, “The Southern Wilderness is divided into three factions. The three pillar gods symbolize the sky, the sea and the land respectively. They do not usually interact with each other. The fourth pillar god, as the representative of the Southern Wilderness, handles the communication with the outside world.”

It seems that the cultivation system in the Southern Wilderness is completely different from that in the Eastern Continent... Mu Zhian understood slightly.

The Dao Integration Realm in the Eastern Continent is achieved by merging with one of the three Daos: Heaven, Earth, or Humanity, to attain the supreme Dao fruit.

The Southern Wilderness, however, has a different cultivation system.

Regina slowly took a sip of tea and smiled sweetly: "As for my abilities, Young Master Mu should already know them. After all, you knew you were being watched, so you deliberately used the Innate Furnace to seduce me, right?"

"Why do you make it sound like I'm seducing you..." Mu Zhian couldn't help but complain.

Hmm... although upon closer reflection, it does seem to be true.

Discovering that Regina was spying on him, he released a wisp of spiritual energy from his innate furnace, catching Regina, the big fish... In a sense, it was indeed seduction.

If the genders were switched, the outside world would probably go crazy... Mu Zhian thought to himself with amusement.

“You’ve already seen Nigati’s abilities before,” Regina smiled. “When you were sparring with Ye Yu, Young Master Mu should have noticed something, right?”

If Regina hadn't brought it up, things would have been fine, but once the topic was mentioned, Mu Zhian quickly realized what had happened and recalled the scene where Nigati had taken Ye Yu's spiritual energy and used it for his own purposes, injecting it into the Nine Cauldrons Pill.

"He can plunder other people's spiritual energy...?" Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly.

Regina nodded slightly: "However, there is a limit to this."

This ability is really troublesome... As Mu Zhian thought to himself, he suddenly said, "You've told me everything about your situation. Aren't you worried about losing the Ascension Tournament?"

“It’s impossible for us to lose,” Regina said confidently.

She paused, then continued, "Even if we lose, it doesn't matter... Anyway, it's those three old men who are the problem, it has little to do with me."

Those three old men...?

Countless question marks popped into Mu Zhian's mind.

Regina suddenly said, "I've answered all your questions. Now, shouldn't Young Master Mu answer my question?"

Mu Zhian snapped out of his thoughts and nodded slightly, but he couldn't help but glance at the seemingly elegant and sickly young lady a couple more times.

Could the three old men this woman is talking about be the Three Pillar Gods...?

If that's the case, her status is probably much, much higher than I imagined...

"Is Young Master Mu a natural furnace?" Mu Zhi'an was pondering this when Regina spoke up from the other side.

The question was quite straightforward... Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Does the cauldron contain the Qi of Heaven, or even other Enlightenment Seeds, or even some special spiritual Qi that can strengthen the body?" Regina asked again.

Mu Zhian nodded again.

The woman's questions were very concise, without any unnecessary details, which pleased him greatly.

It's very comfortable to chat with this kind of person; they don't dawdle or be indecisive.

However, the next moment, Regina's question surprised Mu Zhian.

"Would you like to engage in dual cultivation? I will give you three million spirit stones as a reward."

"..."

Mu Zhian: "?"

It wasn't until much later that he snapped out of his reverie, thinking to himself, "Are all the girls in the Southern Wilderness this open-minded...? Who skips over feelings and goes straight to the physical...? Even a seasoned player like me, who's been navigating the world of women for years, is starting to lose his composure."

Noticing Regina's seemingly serious gaze, Mu Zhian coughed lightly and said, "Miss Regina, I am not the kind of person who does things casually."

Regina smiled, her eyes narrowed. "That's what you say, but has Young Master Mu forgotten that I can see through a person's primordial spirit?"

"besides."

She paused, gently placing a slender hand on her full breasts, and tilted her head slightly: "You were peeking at me just now, weren't you?"

"This is simply an appreciation of beauty, and it doesn't have any other meaning?" Mu Zhian said calmly.

Regina seemed to think he was an idiot.

Not to mention the innate furnace, the contents of the furnace alone are worth far more than three million spirit stones.

Besides, he has quite a few good things in his innate furnace, but if he were to share them with the girls around him, it would be just enough. How could he possibly give some of these things to Regina?

Although this woman is indeed very beautiful.

It has to be said that among the people Mu Zhian knows, Regina is among the top.

She had a firm bust, a slender waist, long legs, and blonde hair... As for her slightly pale skin, it might be a downside for some, but for others who wanted to experience exotic charm, it was a huge plus.

Of course, even so, Mu Zhian has no intention of making a deal with Regina for the time being.

After all, the best things are always reserved for the 'main characters' around us first.

As for the others, they will naturally have to wait until everything has been distributed before considering them.
