Tian Yuan

Tang Wan'er had been away for several years, searching for the surrounding stars back and forth without stopping for a single day.

Today was her fourth visit to this ancient city.

Hard work pays off, and I finally spotted the familiar figure among the vast crowd. I quickly descended from the clouds and stepped on the solid floor of the market, locking my eyes firmly on him without blinking.

This shouldn’t be a dream!

Tang Wan'er imagined the meeting scene many times.

At this moment, it feels like a dream.

After a long time, Tang Wan'er took extremely heavy steps and slowly walked towards Chen Qingyuan.

At first, she was hesitant when she took the first step, testing whether this was an illusion. Slowly, her speed increased.

"Respect..."

When she arrived in front of him, Tang Wan'er controlled the excitement and joy in her heart. Just as she was about to bow and greet him, she was interrupted.

Chen Qingyuan made a "hush" gesture, which clearly meant that Tang Wan'er should not be too polite and should keep a low profile.

In an instant, Tang Wan'er stopped her salute and stood still, not knowing what to do. Facing Chen Qingyuan, she completely lost her sense of autonomy and looked rather bewildered.

"Speak somewhere else."

Chen Qingyuan suggested.

"Ah."

Although Tang Wan'er was wearing a plain veil, it was still difficult to conceal her beautiful face. It even added a bit of mystery, attracting many people's attention.

This is a market place, there are too many people and it is not convenient to have a conversation.

The scene changed, showing an upper-class elegant pavilion in the ancient city, which was heavily restricted and extremely secure.

"See you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Tang Wan'er bowed and called out with deep respect from the bottom of her heart.

"No need to be polite." Chen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk!"

"it is good."

The two sat face to face, and Tang Wan'er was very nervous.

"Om-"

With a sword chant, the sword came out of its sheath on its own, flew out of Tang Wan'er's body, stopped beside Chen Qingyuan, and trembled slightly.

The name of the sword - Han Ge.

Han Gejian looked particularly aggrieved when expressing his longing for Chen Qingyuan.

"Leaving you there back then was her opportunity, and also yours."

Chen Qingyuan said to the sword.

"Zheng——"

Baojian responded, expressing his understanding.

It was almost done. Tang Wan'er raised her hand and took the sword into her body.

"Please forgive my rudeness, but may I ask why Your Majesty came here?"

After years of observation and exploration, Tang Wan'er is convinced that this is an independent universe and does not belong to the land of China.

"Accident."

Chen Qingyuan did not give further explanation.

"So do I, my junior." Tang Wan'er had come to Luoshen Ruins a few years earlier, and was not aware of the battle in the ancient forbidden area. She began to recount her own experience: "That year, I wanted to go to Qing Sect and worship the sect to seek the truth..."

Listening patiently to Tang Wan'er's journey, Chen Qingyuan gained a general understanding and thought to himself that Tang Wan'er's personal luck was pretty good. It was not easy for her to come to where she is today from a mortal dynasty and to have the cultivation base at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

He must have suffered a lot during that period and was in life-and-death situations several times.

After practicing for hundreds of years, one has reached the state of spiritual transformation, which is very rare.

If this had happened in the past, he would have definitely been a top genius.

Even though the times have changed, spiritual energy is abundant, and opportunities are everywhere, she can definitely be called a genius. After all, Tang Wan'er has had no external help except this sword for so long, and has relied entirely on herself.

"I never thought that I would be able to meet you again in a foreign land."

Tang Wan'er's eyes were filled with joy, and it was difficult to conceal it.

The two chatted about some past events and talked about the scene when they first met. The atmosphere was warm.

After a while, seeing that the table was empty, he quickly got up, took out some good tea, held a cup of hot tea in both hands, and placed it in front of Chen Qingyuan.

"Thank you." Chen Qingyuan was still polite.

"You're welcome." Tang Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and said in a soft and crisp voice: "If I hadn't received your guidance back then, I, a mere mortal, would have turned into a handful of yellow earth. If I have to thank you, I should thank you. Your kindness is so great that it is difficult to repay you."

"It's you who have the insight."

Chen Qingyuan only left behind a sword. His ability to embark on the path of cultivation had a lot to do with his talent.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your praise."

Tang Wan'er saw countless bright stars, but she didn't dare to claim that she was gifted, so she said modestly.

"Okay, let's stop saying these polite words." Chen Qingyuan took a sip of tea and said kindly: "Don't stand, sit down!"

Sitting back in her original seat, Tang Wan'er maintained her dignified appearance, with a little redness on her fair jade-like cheeks, which must be due to shyness and nervousness. She looked less cold and more charming. She lowered her eyebrows slightly, not daring to look Chen Qingyuan in the eye.

"Um... Miss Tang, I want to discuss something with you."

There was a hint of embarrassment in Chen Qingyuan's tone.

"Please speak." Tang Wan'er looked up suddenly and stood in awe.

No matter what it was, she was willing to do it.

Even if it means sacrificing my life, it is acceptable.

"I want to borrow some spiritual stones from Miss Tang." Chen Qingyuan was very poor and had no choice but to ask for help from an old friend: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely pay you back."

"Ah?" Tang Wan'er didn't care about the spirit stones, but she couldn't imagine that a person like Your Majesty would be short of spirit stones. She was obviously stunned for a moment and uttered a sound of surprise.

"If it's inconvenient for you, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Chen Qingyuan had no intention of showing off his power in front of others. He just wanted to live a peaceful life for a while and use his Taoist magic as little as possible.

With a "pop", Tang Wan'er was surprised, then took out her Qiankun bag and Xumi ring, placed them on the table, and wiped off her personal marks and restrictions. She said very seriously: "Your Excellency, you can take them all. But my ability is limited, this is all I have, and I can't help you much."

Tang Wan'er showed a look of self-blame. If she had known that His Majesty needed spirit stones, she would have saved more over the years and should not have spent them indiscriminately.

"You don't need so much." Chen Qingyuan could see that Tang Wan'er really wanted to give it all and was not pretending, so he immediately said, "Thirty to fifty thousand high-quality spirit stones will be enough."

As he spoke, Chen Qingyuan took out 30,000 spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and returned the rest.

"Is that all?"

Tang Wan'er was bewildered again. It was unbelievable that such a great and dignified master could be satisfied with just tens of thousands of spirit stones.

“It’s more than enough for a normal life.”

Chen Qingyuan nodded.

"Okay, if you need anything, just let me know."

Tang Wan'er was very smart and didn't ask Chen Qingyuan why he wanted to borrow the spirit stones or why he acted so miserable.

"I see that your aura is strong. You must have hit a bottleneck in your cultivation!"

If you borrow spirit stones from a younger generation, you must give something in return.

"Yes." Tang Wan'er nodded and said truthfully: "Junior generation can never reach the state of integration."

"Practice the technique, let me take a look."

Since they were old friends and they also had a debt relationship, Chen Qingyuan decided to give some advice.
