Too Humble?

Lu Qing'an and Cang Ru both noticed the drastic change in Dan Yun's expression, and their hearts stirred slightly.

They exchanged a glance, wondering if Dan Yun had discovered something amiss!

Lu Qing'an really wanted to ask Cang Ru if there was a mistake. In fact, Dan Yun could detect that someone was plundering the fortune of the people of this continent.

Cang Ru was quite certain that Dan Yun couldn't possibly be aware of it unless something unexpected happened!

Just as the two were filled with doubt, Dan Yun quickly pulled out a jade pendant.

This jade pendant is deep green, and at this moment it emits a strong green light.

Dan Yun saw the changes in the jade pendant and was overjoyed.

"Finally, there's movement!!"

Without a second thought, she poured her refined and stored Power of the Dao Source into it.

If it were any other day, she would be heartbroken for hundreds of years if asked to channel Power of the Dao Source into any place.

But now she doesn't care at all how much Power of the Dao Source she has inputted.

After inputting the Power of the Dao Source, she waited quietly.

Then, realizing something, she quickly looked up at Lu Qing'an and Cang Ru, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I was a little excited. I hope you didn't see me make a fool of yourself."

When Lu Qing'an saw Dan Yun's smiling face, he realized he had made a mistake.

Dan Yun didn't discover their plan, nor did she realize that someone was plundering her luck; rather, she encountered something else that was quite good?

Judging from Dan Yun's expression, it seems to be a very happy occasion?

"Judging from your expression, something good must have happened?" Lu Qing'an asked tentatively.

Dan Yun smiled and nodded, "I told you before that many years ago I formed a good relationship with a Peak Sovereign Realm expert. That expert said he was going into seclusion to break through to the Eternal Realm, and that he would send me a message after he emerged. If he broke through to the Eternal Realm, he would come to find me and form a contract with me. When he left, he gave me this treasure that can transmit messages over extremely long distances. I've waited for many years, and now there's finally some news!!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an's heart tightened.

What a coincidence!

Could this person arrive here before my operation is finished?!

"Oh, then listen carefully to what he has to say." Lu Qing'an remained calm, giving off an air of nonchalance.

Perhaps that's not the case.

Dan Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "Wait a moment. The two sides are quite far apart. Even with such a treasure, it will take some time for the Power of the Dao Source to travel there."

After less than two breaths, Dan Yun's expression brightened again. She then glanced at Lu Qing'an and Cang Ru, hesitating whether to leave and receive further information.

After a moment's hesitation, she made her decision: she would receive it here.

She channeled a little more Power of the Dao Source into it, and then the entire jade tablet suddenly floated up.

A flash of green light appeared, and a pale green figure appeared in front of Lu Qing'an and the other two.

This was an elderly man with a slender but not hunched figure. He wore a long, wide-sleeved robe in dark green embroidered with silver patterns, with a few simple rattan buttons on the front. The cuffs were slightly rolled up to reveal a moon-white inner garment.

His white hair was casually tied into a loose topknot, adorned with a bamboo-shaped hairpin carved from green jade, and a few strands of silver hair hanging down his forehead added to his leisurely air.

At that moment, his face, covered in smile lines, gave off a very warm and friendly feeling.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes drooped slightly at the corners as if forever holding a kind smile, a small light brown mole beside her nose trembled with a smile, her thin fingers were still in the posture of Hand Seals communicate, and she was surrounded by the pure fragrance of grass and trees, like an ancient pine tree that had weathered the storms but became more gentle and warm.

Lu Qing'an carefully examined the old man but couldn't sense any strong aura emanating from him. He only had the feeling that the old man was an ordinary old man with an extraordinary demeanor.

But even so, he became even more certain that what Dan Yun said was true.

This person is at least a Peak Sovereign Realm expert, and may even have broken through to the Eternal Realm.

This is clearly a return to simplicity and authenticity.

"Senior Wensong! Long time no see!!!" Dan Yun was overjoyed and bowed to the old man.

Li Wensong laughed heartily, "Dan Yun, it's been hundreds of millions of years since we last parted."

"Yes! Senior, have you broken through to the Eternal Realm?!" Dan Yun asked with a smile.

Li Wensong showed no signs of dejection, making it highly likely that he had broken through to the Eternal Realm!

However, as soon as she finished asking the question, Li Wensong waved his hand.

Li Wensong shook his head and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "Without a breakthrough, I can only remain at the Peak Sovereign Realm for the rest of my life. But I've come to terms with it. Whether I break through or not, it's all the same. I won't cultivate anymore; I'll just enjoy my retirement."

"Ah, this..." Dan Yun was stunned.

"Alright, you don't need to feel sorry for me. It's all fate. Since I can't reach a higher realm, I'll accept it. By the way, the reason I came to see you this time is to talk about what I told you last time. Since I can no longer reach a higher realm, I don't need to care about the Heavenly Dao's opinion on my part. I've made up my mind. I'll come to you to form a contract in a while. From now on, I'll live a more carefree life."

Li Wensong smiled with relief.

Dan Yun didn't know what Li Wensong had gone through, but judging from the way Li Wensong was acting at this moment, it did seem like he had seen through everything.

"Okay! I'll listen to you, senior! When will you arrive, senior?" Dan Yun asked with a smile.

By forming a contract with the Peak Sovereign Realm expert, she has made a huge profit!

"I failed in my attempt to break through to a higher realm this time, and I still have some things to take care of here. I'll be able to get to your place in about half a month," Li Wensong said.

"Alright! Then I'll wait patiently for your arrival, senior! We'll have a good chat then!" Dan Yun grinned.

"Okay, we'll talk more about it then! Anyway, I don't have much to do after that, so I have plenty of time!" Li Wensong said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Li Wensong: "Okay, I'll get back to work now!"

Dan Yun: "Okay, you're busy!"

Li Wensong nodded. Before cutting off the connection, he glanced at Lu Qing'an and Cang Ru, but only for a moment before ignoring them. In a flash, his illusory figure disappeared from the stone pavilion.

Dan Yun took a deep breath, carefully put away the jade pendant that was floating in front of her, and placed it in the treasure box.

Only after she finished did she look at Lu Qing'an.

At this moment, Lu Qing'an was deep in thought.

This person failed to break through to the Eternal Realm, yet he seems rather happy about it.

Is there still two weeks left?

Time is a bit tight.

Their plan is to cover a period of about one month.

It seems we need to get Li Cangxuan and the others to step up their efforts.

However, the fear is that if they reach a point where Dan Yun might fall to the Two Heavens Continent, Dan Yun will try to hold on for a while until she reaches the Peak Sovereign Realm, and then decide who to contract with.

"I can't worry about that now. I'll create a pain point for the Pill Cloud Continent and see what she chooses. My persona is that of the Eternal Realm cultivator; who knows, that might make her choose me first."

Lu Qing'an thought to himself.

Seeing that Lu Qing'an remained silent, Dan Yun said, "Senior, may I ask you a question?"

Lu Qing'an said, "Go ahead and ask."

He didn't want Dan Yun to ask, but refusing Dan Yun at this moment would be inappropriate.

Let's see what the problem is and see if we can gloss over it.

"You saw it just now, Senior Wensong, is he really hopeless in reaching the Eternal Realm? Was it also extremely difficult for you when you broke through to the Eternal Realm?" Dan Yun asked.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an calmly shook his head. "No, breaking through to the Eternal Realm was as easy for me as drinking water."

He was being modest.

In reality, all it takes is a single thought.
