It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian nodded reservedly: "I understand."

He looked at the princess and said, "Princess, may I ask you for a favor?"

The princess raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Mu Zhi'an with gentle eyes, and said, "Just tell me what you want, don't hold back."

Luo Tan was also curious about what Mu Zhi'an was planning to do, so she looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"This matter is related to Senior Linglong," Mu Zhian said softly.

"If it succeeds, my tribulation of enlightenment will go much more smoothly."

……

The Two Elements Sect.

A spatial rift appeared silently outside Liangyi Peak, and Mu Zhian, dressed in a low-key manner, walked out of the spatial rift hand in hand with the princess.

The princess, dressed in a mature and charming manner, walked gracefully to the front of Liangyi Peak. After looking around for a few moments, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes: "I have heard that the Liangyi Sect's formations are extremely exquisite, but I have never had the opportunity to see them. Today I finally have the chance to see them."

Mu Zhian released her hand without making a sound, looked up and said, "I will write a letter to my senior sister and ask her to break the formation of Liangyi Peak so that we can enter."

The princess gave a soft "hmm," then looked gently at Mu Zhi'an: "What is your relationship with this spirit dragon? And who is your senior sister? Why do I feel like you've been deliberately keeping your distance from me from the very beginning?"

"Could it be that you're afraid they'll find out about our relationship?"

Mu Zhian: "..."

It turns out that women's IQ skyrockets when they catch their partner cheating.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said softly, "Linglong is my senior... so naturally, she is my senior sister."

"Don't you also not want our secrets to be exposed?"

The princess nodded thoughtfully, then quickly regained her usual gentle smile: "Yes, you're right."

While the two were chatting, the paper crane had already flown into Liangyi Peak.

A moment later, a clear and melodious "Aaaa" sound came from inside the peak. The singing was as beautiful as heavenly music, and it seemed to convey a longing for someone.

As soon as they reached the outside of the peak, the pure and innocent Miss Linglong saw Mu Zhian's figure. Her red eyes blinked with joy, and before Mu Zhian could remind her to 'restrain' a little, the next moment, Lin Ling had already opened her arms and rushed into Mu Zhian's arms.

Her soft body nestled completely in Mu Zhi'an's arms, her face rubbing against his, making joyful "Aaa" sounds, completely ignoring the woman beside her, as if she hadn't noticed her presence at all.

The princess finally realized the problem and looked at Mu Zhi'an with a smile.

You call this a senior?

Chapter 513 Waaaaah, Lingxuan, I don't want to work hard anymore!

Inside Liangyi Peak.

The princess and Lin Ling sat facing each other. Lin Ling raised her notebook and asked Mu Zhi'an, who was sitting next to her:

Who is this person?

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "You must have heard of the Princess Consort of Yunzhou, right?"

In this vast land, there is only one cultivator born with a direct connection to the Great Dao. The cultivators below may not know this, but a powerful being like Miss Linglong should know... That was Mu Zhian's original thought.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ling gently shook her head: "I don't know her."

Mu Zhian: "..."

"You and she were both born with a connection to the Great Dao, yet you don't recognize her?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

Lin Ling made a confused "Aaa" sound, looking puzzled as if to ask, "Why do I have to know her?"

Immediately afterwards, her gaze fell on Mu Zhian, and she raised her notebook to ask, "It's only been less than a month, how did you reach the peak of the Void Returning Realm?"

The princess glanced at Mu Zhi'an with a smile, wanting to see how he would respond.

"This is a long story, but in short, it involved some fortuitous circumstances... but the specifics are rather complicated."

Such words can only fool children... the princess thought to herself.

Lin Ling nodded thoughtfully: "I see, I understand."

That's it? She doesn't doubt Mu Zhi'an's words at all?!

A hint of doubt flickered in the princess's beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is your relationship with Linglong?"

She could sense that Linglong's trust in Mu Zhian was almost blind.

But Linglong, though seemingly innocent and carefree, is actually very difficult to enter into her heart.

Perhaps Linglong is indeed easy to fool, but the problem is... beings like Linglong are born with the ability to sense the malice and goodwill of others. If someone has ulterior motives towards her, they probably won't even have the chance to get close to her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ling looked at Mu Zhi'an with sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to hear his answer in person.

Mu Zhian sighed softly and changed the subject, saying, "Princess Consort, do you remember why I invited you to the Liangyi Sect?"

The princess nodded gently: "You brought me here because it's related to your enlightenment tribulation and also to the spirit dragon... What exactly do you want to do?"

For a moment, Lin Ling and the princess both stared at Mu Zhi'an, their attention completely drawn to the mystery he had just deliberately created.

Mu Zhian said, "Actually, the reason I asked you to come here is about the matter of ascension to immortality."

The princess raised an eyebrow and asked, "You mean... the spirit dragon is about to ascend to immortality?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Senior Linglong has already reached the threshold of ascension, but he is unable to access the Great Dao, and therefore finds it difficult to ascend."

"So you want to use me to let the Spirit Dragon come into contact with the Great Dao?"

The princess understood something and sighed softly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't make the spirit dragon come into contact with the Great Dao."

"The reason you were able to get close to the Great Dao is because I was the medium through which we exchanged spiritual energy... But the spirit dragon and I could never do... do such a thing."

The princess blushed slightly, seemingly finding it difficult to say those words.

Mu Zhian understood that the reason the princess was able to allow him to come into contact with the Great Dao was because she could transfer the spiritual energy that was naturally close to the Great Dao to his furnace through dual cultivation.

But with Linglong... that method is no longer possible.

Is there really no way for Ling'er to also come into contact with the Great Dao...? Mu Zhi'an frowned and thought to himself.

"Actually, it's not like there's absolutely no way out."

Just then, a clear and melodious voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion.

Mu Zhian looked in that direction and saw his senior sister wearing a moon-white dress.

Lan Mulian was also looking at him, her gaze sweeping over the three of them before lingering subtly on the voluptuous and sexy princess for a moment.

"Senior sister, what brings you here?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked, interrupting Lan Mulian's suspicious expression.

Lan Mulian said calmly, "Master knew you would be coming back today, so he asked me to leave you a letter in advance."

As she spoke, she took a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Mu Zhian.

"I haven't seen it yet. Master said this letter can only be seen by you." Lan Mulian said calmly, but her words couldn't hide her envy and jealousy.

Having a man I like for the first time, and having a respected master for the first time, should have been two happy things... so why did it turn out like this?

Lan Mulian wasn't jealous, but rather envious that Mu Zhian had a letter personally written by the sect leader, and that only he could read it.

For Lan Mulian, Shang Yanfei was like her master and also like her mother. Having lost her mother at a young age and never experienced family affection, Lan Mulian felt the warmth of family affection in Shang Yanfei.

Of course, if Lan Mulian knew that Mu Zhian had suppressed her most respected master at Liangyi Peak a few days ago... I wonder what she would think.

Mu Zhian opened the letter and glanced at it.

"By the time you read this letter, I'm afraid I'll already be..."

Mu Zhian's heart sank slightly when he saw this passage, and then he saw the following text: "She is probably resting now, so there is no need to worry."

How could this woman like to tease people... Mu Zhian was speechless. He felt that the image of his mysterious and powerful sect leader sister was collapsing.

He knew that Shang Yanfei had some health problems, so his first thought was to worry about her... but he was deceived by her.

But then, Shang Yanfei got down to business in her letter: "I know you will definitely help Linglong ascend to immortality, but her path is too special. No one in this world can help her, not even Gu Ningxian."

Gu Ningxian? Could it be the princess's name?

Mu Zhian glanced at the beautiful woman subconsciously and continued reading: "No one in this world can help her, but there is one thing that can allow Ling'er to come into contact with the Great Dao. As long as she comes into contact with the Great Dao and passes its test, Ling'er will naturally be able to ascend to immortality."

Mu Zhian read the letter down to the last eight characters: "Forbidden Land, Flower of the Great Dao".

The letter ended there. Mu Zhi'an was still pondering what Shang Yanfei had written when the princess finally couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Judging from this, do you know Sect Leader Shang?"

Lan Mulian asked, "What did Master say in his letter?"

Although she maintained a cold expression, her gaze remained fixed on Mu Zhian, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

"Sect Master Shang asked me to find a rare and precious herb, saying that it would allow Senior Spirit Dragon to come into contact with the Great Dao."

Mu Zhian paused here, put the letter away, and asked, "Has anyone here heard of the Flower of the Great Dao?"

"A divine medicine from the forbidden lands of the Eastern Continent?" the princess asked almost instinctively.

"Truly worthy of being a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm, the Princess's experience is indeed rich..." Mu Zhi'an exclaimed inwardly, then glanced at Lin Ling beside him.

The silver-haired beauty rested her chin on her hand, blinked her innocent red starry eyes, tilted her head, and looked bewildered, as if asking: What is the Flower of the Great Dao? Is it delicious?

Hmm... even among those who have attained the Dao, there are differences.

At this moment, Lin Ling seemed to realize something, turned to look at Mu Zhi'an, scribbled in her notebook, and then handed it to Mu Zhi'an to see: "You're talking badly about me in your heart?"

Miss Linglong may not be good at much else, but she's absolutely unbeatable when it comes to sensing the evil intentions of others.

Mu Zhian immediately shook his head: "I didn't, you misunderstood."

Lin Ling was clearly unhappy. She hugged her cup and silently drank water, not wanting to pay any attention to Mu Zhi'an.

This girl's happiness or unhappiness was written all over her face, and at this moment she sensed that Mu Zhi'an was just going through the motions with her.

Let's put the matter of comforting Ling'er aside for now... Mu Zhi'an looked at the princess and asked, "Your Highness, is the Great Dao Flower you mentioned from the forbidden land of the Eastern Continent?"

Without realizing it, he changed "Princess Sister" to "Your Highness Princess" again, and casually glanced at his senior sister.

Fortunately, the princess didn't think much of it and gave a soft "hmm": "It is said that every forbidden land contains immortal herbs, and often the immortal pills made from a single immortal herb can enable a Dao Integration expert to ascend to immortality. However, forbidden lands are too dangerous. Even powerful experts are at risk of perishing. So far, I have only heard of the Great Roc Emperor obtaining an immortal herb."

Lan Mulian couldn't help but ask, "Can't immortal herbs be cultivated artificially?"

The princess gently shook her head: "Luo Tan once used imperial medicine as an experimental subject and spent nearly a lifetime cultivating immortal medicine, but she still failed in the end. Later, she concluded that immortal medicine is born naturally and cannot be cultivated... Moreover, immortal medicine only exists in forbidden places."

"Is the Forbidden Land really that dangerous?" Mu Zhian suddenly wondered. The danger of the Forbidden Land stemmed from the fact that its rules were different from those of the outside world, which limited the strength of even Dao-Merging Great Powers.
