Chapter 1942: Chapter 2041: Slapping One’s Own Face

"Cough, cough, Priest Mu, forgive this old man for my shallow knowledge, failing to see your incredible skills. I hope you can overlook the disrespect in my words," Wu Yazi said awkwardly to Han Yan, coughing lightly twice.

"Indeed, it’s a shame—having lived for so many years, we still couldn’t recognize it. We hope Master Priest can be understanding," Zhou Jilin followed, also with a face full of embarrassment.

Earlier, they criticized Mu Hanyan for being a young man achieving success and becoming arrogant, ignorant of the heights of heaven. Now, they admitted their shallow knowledge and lack of vision, practically slapping their own faces. But, for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, they were willing to go all out.

However, they weren’t merely servile; the significance of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire for alchemists was immense. Mu Hanyan might be the only one in the world capable of unlocking the mystery, leaving them no choice but to bow their heads.

Moreover, the Golden Needle in Gao Weihu’s body had already been removed for quite some time, yet there was still no sign of any anomalies. His expression remained peaceful and tranquil, as if he were in a deep sleep. Mu Hanyan’s treatment clearly had an effect. This alone was enough to show superiority over Wu Zhou, who had previously been helpless, only able to barely seal Gao Weihu’s Divine Sense. Whether they admitted it or not, the truth was right before their eyes, so bowing to Mu Hanyan and apologizing wasn’t too disgraceful.

"You have spoken too seriously, sirs. Your reprimands to me were all out of concern for Brother Gao’s safety; I bear no grudge," Mu Hanyan hurriedly helped them up.

Though they often acted as senior experts and flaunted their elder status, it must be said they indeed had some reason for pride. After all, their concerns were for Gao Weihu’s safety—it was well meant, no matter what. Mu Hanyan wasn’t about to be relentless, given that they had already admitted their mistakes. There was no need to dwell on it.

"Priest Mu, to have such a broad mind at such a young age puts us old folks to shame," Wu Zhou and the others were impressed as they saw Mu Hanyan wasn’t bothered by their previous reprimands, feeling even more ashamed of their previous arrogance.

"You flatter me, sirs," Mu Hanyan responded with a soft smile.

"Priest Mu, forgive my impertinence, but how did you come by this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire?" After exchanging some pleasantries, Wu Yazi impatiently inquired.

Mu Hanyan hesitated. The Wilderness Fire’s birth was likely related to her Chaos Heavenly Fire. She could now confirm that the force residing in Gao Weihu’s Mental State was actually the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, only it hadn’t yet formed into a true Spiritual Fire and was thus difficult to distinguish, even mistakenly thought to be poisonous.

Its eventual birth as a true Spiritual Fire was likely related to her. After all, being the Source of Ten Thousand Flames, promoting the manifestation of fire elements with existing spirituality isn’t surprising. However, when aiding Gu Qingyang with the Fire Storage Stone to restore its spirituality last time, they hadn’t been able to create Spiritual Fire. It seemed that Chaos Heavenly Fire alone wasn’t sufficient—her Heavenly Heart Technique was also likely involved.

The secret of the Spiritual Fire was revealed, whether or not it was said outright; others could likely guess. But the Heavenly Heart Technique must remain secret, otherwise, it could harm not only herself but also others.

"If I’m not mistaken, isn’t it related to the Life Ancient Tree?" As Mu Hanyan pondered how to provide an explanation without exposing anything, Gao Weihu suddenly opened his eyes, offering an explanation for her.

"Young Master!" Gao Jien cried out in joy, rushing to Gao Weihu’s side, tears streaming down his face with excitement.

"Young Master Gao, you’re alright now," Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin also turned their heads abruptly, showing genuine happiness.
