Ch. 121The Deposit Beneath the Old Scholar Tree
Nan Feng met Dugu Yan beneath the old scholar tree after reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection and forming his Golden Core, and told her he would leave for a distant place but return. He departed with Ye Lingling, while Dugu Yan kept the immortal light he had left with her and vowed to wait until he helped her reach the Immortal Level.
- Nan Feng told Dugu Yan he would not return to the Divine Realm and promised to come back after traveling somewhere farther away.
- Dugu Yan explained that her Jade Phosphorous Serpent had evolved and asked Nan Feng to help her reach the Immortal Level when he returned.
- Dugu Yan took Nan Feng's hand, and his immortal light stabilized her Martial Soul Core and began turning her poison azure-gold.
- Nan Feng promised to share a drink with Dugu Yan and her grandfather after he returned, and Dugu Yan said she would find him in the Divine Realm if he never came back.
- Ye Lingling urged Nan Feng to leave for Hu Liena's tavern, and Dugu Yan watched them go before vowing to wait for the Immortal Level.
