"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. You’ve been worried today, and if anything like this happens again, I’ll definitely let you know in advance. But, I hope it never happens again," Lu Nianxin said, collecting her smile and speaking solemnly.
Yue Fanyi and Yue Fanchen also nodded solemnly. Although Wu Tianxiong didn’t succeed today and we took the opportunity to capture those rebellious ministers and traitors, a subordinate’s conspiracy is never good for Shangyue.
"Han Yan, thanks to you tonight. If it weren’t for you, the Yue Family would have had a difficult time escaping this disaster," Lu Nianxin said to Mu Hanyan.
"Grandma, didn’t you just say I am your own child? I am a descendant of the Yue Family, so protecting the Yue Family is my duty," Mu Hanyan said, putting away her smile, speaking earnestly.
This was a promise to her grandmother, and to the entire Yue Family.
"I’m pleased you think this way, but don’t forget, you have an even greater responsibility," Lu Nianxin said, looking at Mu Hanyan lovingly and appreciatively.
"I understand," Mu Hanyan knew her grandmother was referring to Jiuyou Netherworld and the great calamity, which made her feel inexplicably sad.
The matter of Shangyue Country had come to an end, and she had obtained the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, successfully increasing her cultivation to the Great Sword Master Realm; it was time for her to leave Shangyue.
"How about staying a few more days with Grandma?" Lu Nianxin said, filled with both reluctance and hope.
"Hmm, it’s not urgent, I’ll stay a few more days with Grandma," Mu Hanyan said, nodding, also reluctant to leave her grandmother.
In the following days, Mu Hanyan stayed in the palace, accompanying her grandmother every day, letting her fully enjoy family love.
During the remaining time, she was not idle, starting to refine the Void-breaking Talisman for Ling Baobao, which she had promised Ling Baobao long ago. She couldn’t refine it before due to insufficient cultivation, but now she had become a Sword Saint, she could give it a try.
...
"Did you really succeed?" Ling Baobao said, astonished as he saw the Void-breaking Talisman appearing before him.
He had thought Mu Hanyan would need to reach the Sword Saint level to possibly refine the Void-breaking Talisman, but she surprised him by succeeding so early.
"I didn’t expect it to be so easy either, take a look," Mu Hanyan said, handing the Void-breaking Talisman to Ling Baobao with a smile.
She wasn’t lying, she had been as surprised as Ling Baobao when she succeeded in refining the Void-breaking Talisman, but later realized it was related to the Moon Shadow Orchid her mentor Gong Hongru had given her.
Ling Baobao had previously thought she needed to reach the Sword Saint level because he assessed it by the Holy Court Continent’s Heaven and Earth Rules. But since Mu Hanyan had used the Moon Shadow Orchid, granting her insights into the Divine Continent’s Heaven and Earth Rules, and absorbed the Star Power from the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, which contained Divine Continent’s Heaven and Earth Power.
She may only have the cultivation of a Great Sword Master, yet her understanding of both laws surpassed many Sword Saints, and this convergence of the laws allowed her to refine the Void-breaking Talisman with ease.
"Yes, although it’s a bit different from the ones we’re used to, the laws are different, so it naturally couldn’t be identical, but it’s much as I imagined," Ling Baobao said, affirming after checking it several times.
"Alright, keep it safe, we’ll send you back once Huayue and the others reach Sword Saint," Mu Hanyan said. She recalled Ling Baobao saying that, due to differences in laws, the Void-breaking Talisman wasn’t easy to refine or activate, and it needed Huayue and others to become Sword Saints for assurance.
"How about trying it now?" Ling Baobao said with some anticipation.
"Didn’t you say we should wait until we reach Sword Saint for assurance?" Zirong asked, puzzled.
"I said for assurance, but there’s still a chance even before Sword Saint. Previously, I thought the Void-breaking Talisman was too hard to make, thus reluctant to waste it, but now it doesn’t seem that tough, so wasting it doesn’t matter. And we have Brother Ye here," Ling Baobao explained, feeling less cautious after seeing how easily Mu Hanyan refined the Void-breaking Talisman.
"Shall we try?" Jiang Yuzhe said eagerly.
"Let’s give it a try," Mu Hanyan said decisively.
Expectations were high for this Spirit Talisman from another plane.
Under Ling Baobao’s guidance, Mu Hanyan, Ye Lanfeng, Huayue, Zirong, Jiang Yuzhe, and Tang Bufan stood in a hexagonal formation, hands forming Hand Formations.
"Wait," Ling Baobao suddenly said.
"What troubles you? Have you reconsidered?" Mu Hanyan inquired, genuinely hoping he wouldn't depart after their shared experiences.
"No," Ling Baobao responded, though his gaze conveyed a deep sense of regret.
"Take these silver notes; there's no benefit in holding onto them," Ling Baobao stated, distributing his share to everyone present.
"Thank you," Mu Hanyan expressed her gratitude, accepting the silver note first.
Huayue and the others also received the silver notes, a palpable reluctance towards Ling Baobao visible in their eyes.
"Let us commence," Ling Baobao declared, his lips trembling slightly.
Mu Hanyan and the rest nodded in agreement, reforming their Hand Formations once more.
"Wait a moment," Ling Baobao interjected.
"What is it now?" Zirong inquired impatiently.
"I have some Elixirs to offer," Ling Baobao announced, passing more items around.
"Indeed, and this Heavenly Flying Immortal sword is for Bufan,"
"Furthermore, these notes contain knowledge and techniques derived from my extensive alchemical pursuits on my plane, which may prove beneficial on another; these are all for Han Yan,"
"And this secret manual on swordsmanship, a puzzle yet unsolved from my homeland, is intended for Brother Ye,"
"Observe this sword robe, equipped with a defensive array and never before worn, for Zirong,"
"And these newly made shoes, also featuring a defensive array, are for Huayue,"
"And these additional items..."
"I have no need for them," Jiang Yuzhe declared, his anticipation for a gift turning to disappointment upon seeing it was underwear, causing him to immediately refuse with a shake of his head.
"Uh... these are actually brand new," Ling Baobao offered as an explanation, still holding the underwear.
Witnessing the undergarment dangling in the breeze, Mu Hanyan and the others couldn't help but shudder.
"Why not remain with us instead? Please don't depart," Mu Hanyan pleaded with Ling Baobao.
She observed his evident reluctance to leave, deducing that he was attempting to extend his time with them.
