"You're too kind, Fellow Daoist Chen. In a True Lord's cultivation, flashes of inspiration are among the rarest things. Spending these days sitting at leisure over tea, admiring the city and its formations, has been a rare experience for me as well. How could that count as being kept waiting?"
Su Lanyue offered her congratulations. "Rather, I should congratulate you on the considerable gains from your seclusion and your tremendous advance in cultivation."
Comparisons could truly infuriate a person.
The cultivation talent Chen Zi'ang had displayed was simply terrifying. Among all the Southern Wasteland's prodigies Su Lanyue had seen, he ranked first.
No wonder Zhu Wuya had been willing to abandon Mist Sea True Lord Lin Zimo to designate Chen Zi'ang as the Mirror Moon Sect's next sect master.
Fortunately, the Earth Evolution Realm now lacked creation Dao resonance and had no soil in which to nurture a Spirit Transformation Venerable.
Otherwise, if Chen Zi'ang were allowed to continue growing, the Mirror Moon Sect might produce another Spirit Transformation Venerable, unite the Earth Evolution Realm's Five Great Sects, restore the glory of the Taiyi Dao lineage, and become a grave threat to her sect.
"The three-year period is up. President Su, since you've come to Protectorate City in person, have you prepared the Illuminating Heart Marrow?"
After a few pleasantries, Chen Beiwu turned to business.
"Naturally. Please come in, Fellow Daoist Chen."
Su Lanyue wasted no words either. After showing Chen Beiwu to a seat, she waved her sleeve, and a box of warm jade landed on the table.
Seeing this, Chen Beiwu carefully opened the jade box and checked several times. Once he confirmed that the Illuminating Heart Marrow inside was correct, he could not help breathing a sigh of relief. The Southern Wasteland truly was rich in resources.
