The five heaven-reaching spiritual treasures appeared simultaneously; for the Chen Family, who had never controlled such treasures before, it was truly a remarkable move.
Moreover, from the way Mu Shao'ai spoke, it seemed... he intended to give all these five heaven-reaching spiritual treasures to Mu Jinyu?! Let him take them home?
This was even more shocking.
Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, even among the powerful in the Unity Realm Stage within the Kunlun Ruins, are extremely scarce. Not even the Chen Family Ancestor had ever controlled one before.
Mu Jinyu, after turning the tide and killing more than twenty sect leaders of major factions, only obtained seven heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, including the Five Beasts Spirit Fan obtained after slaying Lei Yongshou later.
Now, Mu Shao'ai handing over five heaven-reaching spiritual treasures to Mu Jinyu to take back just like that is indeed extravagance!
Mu Jinyu looked carefully at the heaven-reaching spiritual treasures that his master tossed over. They were all small and practical, unlike the Purple Gold Hammer or Bronze Halberd. He satisfactorily accepted them and teased:
"Oh dear, why are you being so stingy, old man? Seriously, these are gifts for your disciple's wife. You can't even bear this small present. I haven't even asked you to prepare a meeting gift for my other two wives yet, really... "
Having limited heaven-reaching spiritual treasures on hand, Mu Jinyu didn't want to show favoritism after returning, even if Gu Xiyan and the others didn't mind verbally, they would certainly feel uncomfortable in their hearts. So, he directly asked his master for five more heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.
Adding the Five Beasts Spirit Fan he had, six heaven-reaching spiritual treasures would be just right for Gu Xiyan, Mei Yinxue, Yu Linglong, Lin Qiaoxia, Xu Qingya, and his mother...
Mu Shao'ai glanced at Mu Jinyu, speaking with irritation: "You really have the audacity to ask, do you think heaven-reaching spiritual treasures are like cabbages? Yet, you find rough and unsightly ones unfit for girls. Pick and choose, and the five I gave you just now, several were obtained half-forced, half-traded with others. If you dare open your lion's mouth again, I will sever our master-disciple relationship!"
"Alright then, since I already got the stuff, severing the master-disciple relationship is fine. Either way, I'm not at a loss." Mu Jinyu said indifferently.
Mu Shao'ai's face darkened upon hearing his words. Then, after glancing at Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, he transmitted his voice to Mu Jinyu: "Brat, itching for a beating, are you? Do you really think because your wife and mother-in-law are in front of me that I dare not thrash you?"
Mu Jinyu grinned sheepishly, no longer joking with his master and said seriously: "Master, come, I'll pass on the complete version of 'True Dragon Mystic Taoism' to you."
With that, he imparted 'True Dragon Mystic Taoism' to Mu Shao'ai.
When Mu Shao'ai heard Mu Jinyu's words, he was skeptical, thinking, could this rascal's comprehension really be so extraordinary? Could he understand the complete secret technique of the Transforming Dragon Platform from such a chaotic and mixed jade slip? Was he just kidding?
But when Mu Jinyu transmitted the entire 'True Dragon Mystic Taoism,' Mu Shao'ai was shocked and had to marvel at Mu Jinyu's truly terrifying comprehension!
Likewise, the pain of giving Mu Jinyu those five heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, like rations to Zhou the Skinflayer, wasn't as severe anymore.
"Alright, you brat, you really have a knack for this!" Mu Shao'ai noted down the scripture, not in haste to comprehend it immediately, praising Mu Jinyu as he opened his eyes.
"Heh heh..." Mu Jinyu chuckled a few times, then asked, "Master, have you found the whereabouts of the Shaman Ancestor?"
"Not yet!" Mu Shao'ai's expression darkened, speaking irately: "After you get lost, I will dig three feet into the ground to find the remnants of that Blood Witch."
Mu Jinyu said, "In that case, master, why not add another target?"
"Hmm?!" Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Mu Shao'ai's face darkened again, "What mischief are you up to now?"
Mu Jinyu chuckled: "Nothing, actually master, you know it too. That day, I was besieged by the Wu Family, the Divine Formation Sect, and the Boundless Sect. I exhausted all means to escape, but also let a wisp of resentful Qi escape my control. I've been searching for it without any leads, so to avoid disaster, I'm asking you to handle it since it's convenient anyway."
"Get lost. Go yourself!" Mu Shao'ai's face sank, speaking irritably.
Mu Jinyu laughed: "I don't have time; I'm rushing back home to see my wives. I'm asking you to clean up the mess since you didn't save me when I was at death's door, old man!"
Mu Shao'ai was momentarily speechless.
"Oh, how did I raise such a rebellious disciple..."
In the end, Mu Shao'ai sighed, turned around, disappeared from everyone's view, choosing not to see or hear any more.
Seeing his master leave, Mu Jinyu put away his playful expression, turned to look at Wen Rou, Jian Ruyan, Little Phoenix, Nai Mucha, and Chen Shuyi, along with the Chen Family People.
"Let's go, we should head home now."
He said to Wen Rou and the others, then looked back at Chen Shuyi, whose eyes were red with tears swirling within, and said, "Mother-in-law, are you sure you won't come back with us?"
"No, I won't disturb you." Chen Shuyi shook her head.
During more than half a month with Wen Rou, the original estrangement between mother and daughter had melted away, and they fully reconciled with each other.
In truth, Chen Shuyi also wanted to live with Wen Rou for some time to make up for years of neglecting her daughter.
But thinking about going back with them to Yinlong Mountain and possibly seeing Su Zijin and others, with whom she almost came to blows on that day, she felt embarrassed.
Fearing they might dislike her and consequently isolate Wen Rou, she didn't want to drag her daughter down again and decided not to go along and be a nuisance.
Seeing Chen Shuyi's firm stance, refusing to return to Huaxia, Mu Jinyu didn't persuade further but turned to the Chen Family Ancestor and others saying: "Thank you for your trouble these days; I'm also heading back now."
"Mm, safe travels." The Chen Family Ancestor and the senior figures of the Chen Family all said respectfully.
Not daring to treat Mu Jinyu as merely the young son-in-law of the Chen Family.
Mu Jinyu left the Chen Family Mountain Range with Wen Rou, Jian Ruyan, and Nai Mucha.
"Take care of yourself, Xiaorou..." Chen Shuyi waved to Wen Rou from behind, speaking with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, you take care of yourself too..." Wen Rou looked back, also teary-eyed as she spoke.
After leaving the Chen Family.
Mu Jinyu and the others set off on the road back, passing through Yan Kingdom and the Heavenly Sword Faction without saying goodbye to friends.
Nor notifying anyone to see him off.
There was no need for that; he wasn't someone who liked excessive ceremony.
Besides, with the intention of protecting Huaxia, he also needed to ensure the fewest possible people knew about the path leading outside to Huaxia, lest a group of Divinity Transformation Realm or Fanxu Realm folks venture out and create a major disaster.
For this reason, all along, even when pursued relentlessly by enemies, Mu Jinyu had never considered leaving the Kunlun Ruins through that passage.
Fearing that if he inadvertently exposed this passage, the consequences would be too grave.
Another reason was at that time, his cultivation had reached the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm, and he worried whether leaving recklessly might inadvertently collapse the passage due to his high cultivation?
Now, with ample time, he could slowly study whether with his current cultivation in the Unity Realm Stage, the spatial passage would break down under the strain?
