"Alright..."

Su Zijin was delighted to finally do something to repay Mu Shao'ai, and nodded with joy.

Then she asked Mu Shao'ai, "Master, is there a kitchen here?"

"Uh... no..." Mu Shao'ai replied with an embarrassed smile.

He had long mastered the art of fasting, and with poor cooking skills, how could he possibly have a kitchen in the Heavenly Palace?

"Mom, I brought some kitchenware, you can make do with it for now."

Mu Jinyu took out a storage bag and tossed it to Su Zijin.

"Having kitchenware, seasonings, and ingredients will be enough, no problem..."

Su Zijin accepted the storage bag, and upon probing it with her Divine Sense, she instantly felt confident.

If it were her former self as an ordinary person, with only kitchenware, ingredients, and seasonings, but no open flame or various equipment, it would have been hard to make truly exquisite dishes.

But now she was a cultivator herself, and although her cultivation was relatively low, at the late Divine Transformation Realm Stage, it was enough to summon fire out of thin air to cook some delicious food.

"Mom, let us help you."

Gu Xiyan and the others also chimed in.

"Alright." Su Zijin laughed, "Let's make a full-course feast to show our respect to Master!"

Then, the women went into a room, ready to work hard and prepare a grand feast.

Seeing Su Zijin and the others go in to cook, Mu Shao'ai breathed a sigh of relief and then complained to Mu Jinyu, "You brat, bringing your wife and mom over without telling me? You know your old man is shy and stammers when talking to women. I was nearly bewildered just now..."

"Come on, give it a rest!" Mu Jinyu rolled his eyes at his master's complaint, "With your name, being shy and stammering with women? Why don't you mention that you faint with excitement whenever you see women?"

Mu Shao'ai huffed and glared at Mu Jinyu, "You disrespectful brat, is this how you talk to your master?"

"That's just how we talk, what's the big deal..." Mu Jinyu replied indifferently.

Mu Shao'ai didn't really mind, but recalling the previous query, he asked, "Hey, you still haven't said, how did your cultivation suddenly soar from the Third Layer of the Unity Realm Stage to the Sixth Layer? Did you take some kind of pill?"

Mu Jinyu said seriously, "No pills involved, it's a natural phenomenon. Didn't you notice Wen Rou and Xiao Yan's cultivation also surged?"

Mu Shao'ai pondered over this.

Since their reunion, Mu Shao'ai had naturally met Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan.

He was aware of their cultivation levels; when they left the Kunlun Ruins, Wen Rou had just reached the Fanxu Realm, and Jian Ruyan was at the Peak Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm.

But now, they were both around the Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm.

The speed of their cultivation surge wasn't much slower than Mu Jinyu's.

Quickly, Mu Shao'ai realized and looked at Mu Jinyu with surprise, asking, "Are you suggesting that it's due to the Spiritual Energy revival in Huaxia outside?"

Previously, when they reconciled, Mu Jinyu had discussed the external dark chaos and the Spiritual Energy revival with Mu Shao'ai.

At that time, Mu Shao'ai dismissed it as inconsequential.

Now, a sense of regret subtly emerged within him.

Mu Jinyu nodded, "Yes, indeed, that's the situation..."

A few minutes later, Mu Jinyu revealed the recent Ice Age and the massive snowfall events to Mu Shao'ai...

"So many died..." Mu Shao'ai listened to Mu Jinyu's account, unable to conceal a trace of sadness and pity in his eyes.

Later, upon hearing Mu Jinyu explain how his cultivation automatically surged after the snow stopped, and that those who survived the Ice Age generally boosted their cultivation by two or three layers, he couldn't help feeling envious!

"Damn, such good fortune, you brat, why didn't you notify me to go out back then!" Mu Shao'ai lamented, pounding his chest in frustration.

Mu Jinyu sighed and explained, "When the world first started cooling, and the big snow arrived, I thought about transporting Huaxia's billions to the Kunlun Ruins for refuge. But with planes, cars, and other transport means failing, bringing everyone to Kunlun for refuge was too difficult. Eventually, I chose to use Essence Qi Pills to invigorate Qi-Blood and resist the cold. Later, discovering similar spaces in various famous mountains, I decided to have people take refuge there nearby."

"No one knew then that surviving the massive snow would bring such benefits afterwards!"

"Back then, I thought if I asked you for help to save people, you might agree, but others in Kunlun wouldn't do so without benefits. Therefore, I didn't seek help from Kunlun."

"Alas..." Mu Shao'ai sighed longingly, looking more regretful.

After all, he'd been in the Void Breaking Realm for years, with no progress in cultivation—a change likely due to the Kunlun Ruins' unsuitable environment.

While the Spiritual Energy revival might not enhance his cultivation, it presented an opportunity; missing out like this was truly regrettable.

Mu Jinyu didn't want to dwell on these matters. After explaining his cultivation situation to his master, he ceremoniously declared, "Master, my return isn't motivated by good conscience to visit you but to ask for a few heaven-reaching spiritual treasures..."

"What? Asking for my heaven-reaching spiritual treasures?" Mu Shao'ai's eyes widened, shaking his head. "I don't have any! Not even if you beat me!"

Earlier, when Mu Jinyu returned from the Kunlun Ruins to Huaxia, he mentioned having only a few heaven-reaching treasures at hand; unable to distribute one to every wife for fairness, he forcibly acquired several from Mu Shao'ai!

Now asking again, Mu Shao'ai naturally refused outright!

Heaven-reaching treasures weren't roadside weeds; he didn't have many left! Under no circumstances would he hand them over to Mu Jinyu's request!

Mu Jinyu said, "Hey, don't rush to refuse; here's the deal..."

Saying so, Mu Jinyu transmitted the remaining volumes of the Armament Martial Scripture's Sword Scroll to Mu Shao'ai.

Mu Shao'ai closed his eyes and thoughtfully pondered the cultivation technique, then opened his eyes, admiringly nodding, "Indeed, it's a superb technique..."

He then looked at Mu Jinyu and said, "So, you want the heaven-reaching spiritual treasure sword soldiers to train this Sword Scroll?"

"But where would I have so many sword soldiers?" Mu Shao'ai said, perplexed.

Mu Jinyu listened to his master's words and realized his misconception, thinking Mu Jinyu intended to allocate sword soldiers to all accompanying women!

Mu Jinyu chuckled, "Master, just one sword soldier is enough. Not everyone needs to train; I won't either. I'm exchanging this Armament Martial Scripture for a heaven-reaching treasure—you aren't losing out, right?"

"Hmph, how many cultivation techniques have I shared with you? Dare you still trade cultivation techniques with me in exchange?" Mu Shao'ai said, displeased.

Mu Jinyu sighed, "Come on, why be so petty as a master? Just say whether you'll give or not! If not, come meal time, I'll let you experience what it means to have a bowl with no dishes!"

Ultimately, bullied and threatened by his rebellious disciple, Mu Shao'ai unwillingly took out all heaven-reaching spiritual sword soldiers, allowing Mu Jinyu to select.

"Just one sword, it's agreed on just one!" Mu Shao'ai eyed Mu Jinyu warily, continuously reminding him.

"Got it, so annoying!" Mu Jinyu scrutinized the sword soldiers Mu Shao'ai presented, frowning.

Indeed, saying all of them sounded like quite a lot, but there were actually only four swords.

And none of these heaven-reaching spiritual treasure sword soldiers had ice attributes...
