"I’m sorry for delaying a few more days in Xiushui City and causing you to make this trip; let’s head back now," said Mu Ziqing to Mu Hanyan.
"It’s all right, just consider it a little trip," Mu Hanyan replied with a smile. This journey had been extraordinarily rewarding for her. Not only did she stumble upon one of the future three great scourges, Ghost Sword Jiang Yuzhe, but she also encountered someone with a fate similar to hers, Yan Yuchu. Most importantly, the Star Power absorbed by Yan Yuchu through the Heavenly Star Technique, which he regarded as the biggest obstacle to his cultivation, was an extremely precious and rare cultivation resource for her. Meeting Yan Yuchu meant that she had found a way to rapidly improve her strength.
"City Lord Yan, we shall take our leave now," said Mu Ziqing to Yan Yuchu as he respectfully clasped his hands in farewell.
"Wait a moment," Yan Yuchu stopped Mu Ziqing, saying, "Fourth Uncle Mu came to Xiushui City initially to purchase medicinal herbs. My affairs have caused a delay, which I am utterly ashamed of. I’ve had the herbs you need prepared; please take them with you."
"Thank you very much," Mu Ziqing responded without standing on ceremony, knowing his secret.
"Young Master Mu, I’ve long heard of your fame. They say that Young Master Mu is bold and unconstrained, moves through Fan Chen with a spirit of compassion and loyalty, has a Red Blood Heart, and I’ve long yearned to meet you. Yet, I never had the chance until today. I haven’t been able to provide a proper reception, and for that, I truly regret. Here are a few elixirs and some rare medicinal herbs; please do not disdain them," Yan Yuchu said without insisting on a longer stay, instead handing over several brocade boxes to Mu Hanyan.
Seeing Yan Yuchu being so courteous to Mu Hanyan left Mu Yuying and the others astonished.
From the moment they entered the City Lord’s Mansion, everything that followed had been completely unexpected. No one thought Yan Yuchu would treat Mu Han with such respect. But after listening to Yan Yuchu’s earlier words, it seemed somewhat reasonable.
Being a descendant of the Yan Family and a City Lord himself, Yan Yuchu was known for his capriciousness and lack of restraint, a stark contrast to the straightforwardness of regular family members like them, a true rebel. And Mu Hanyan? Her arrogance was just as rebellious. However, despite her notoriety, Mu Hanyan’s courage and sense of responsibility far surpassed those like Mu Ze.
Perhaps they were the same kind of people, and it was quite normal for them to appreciate each other.
As soon as Mu Hanyan opened the brocade box, she saw several elixirs that were crystal clear and pure white, and she smelled an invigorating fragrance.
"Qi Transformation Pill!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed softly.
As the name implies, the Qi Transformation Pill can directly transform Heaven and Earth Qi into Qi, thereby improving cultivation. While it may not change one’s constitution like the Vessel Cutting Marrow Cleansing Pill, it can enhance one’s strength significantly in an exceedingly short period, and it is especially beneficial in breaking through bottlenecks.

For swordsmen who have been stuck at a bottleneck for years or even decades, its value was not much less than that of the Vessel Cutting Marrow Cleansing Pill.
After calming her emotions a bit, Mu Hanyan opened the other brocade boxes, her expression growing even more surprised.
The Golden Silk Jade Fire Grass, the Green Leaf Ruo Vine. The other types of medicinal herbs were also fine, but these two were especially beneficial for the improvement of Huayue’s and Zirong’s strengths. Mu Hanyan had always wanted to help the two of them improve their strength but hadn’t found a suitable method. She never expected to find that Yan Yuchu already had what she
