After leaving Mount Song, Mu Jinyu did not return to Yinlong Mountain.

Instead, he headed directly towards Luo City where the Dan Pavilion is located.

After being rescued by the mystical little tree once again, Mu Jinyu decided to thoroughly investigate the origin of this tree within his Sea of Consciousness.

In fact, ever since he first discovered the mystical little tree's wondrous uses in the Kunlun Ruins, he had planned to investigate it at the Dan Pavilion upon his return.

But after returning, he was delayed by numerous matters and thought there was plenty of time, so he hadn't taken action to find the Dan Pavilion for an inquiry.

Now, he believes that investigating the mystical little tree should be a priority.

The origin of the mystical little tree hidden in his Sea of Consciousness was originally obtained by Mu Jinyu from the hands of Wang Mao, the Pavilion Master of the Dan Pavilion at the time.

However, back then, the mystical little tree was not a sapling but an exotic species.

While in Wang Mao's possession at the Dan Pavilion, it was directly treated as an alternative Spirit Stone, continuously extracting Spiritual Energy from it for cultivation.

What a waste of heavenly resources!

Later, after Mu Jinyu killed the members of the Dan Pavilion who came to encircle him, he obtained the exotic species from Wang Mao and realized it was not simple. He even consumed a significant amount of the Dragon Clan's bloodline at the time, using the "True Dragon Art" to convert True Yuan into Yi Wood Spirit Qi to heal the exotic species.

Only then was the exotic species able to sprout successfully in the Dragon Marrow Immortal Spring within Ruiyan Mountain in Rong City and drift into his Sea of Consciousness.

This is one of the few clues Mu Jinyu has about the mystical little tree, yet he remains unaware of where Wang Mao originally acquired the exotic species.

Thus, he plans to visit Luo City to find the Dan Pavilion and investigate where Wang Mao acquired the exotic species.

The main body of the Dan Pavilion is in Luo City, which is also located within Yu Province, known as the Ancient Capital of the Thirteen Dynasties!

So, it didn't take Mu Jinyu long to arrive at this famous city.

"Dragon Master..."

As soon as he arrived in Luo City, the Sub-hall Master of the Dragon King Hall's Luo City branch personally came to pick Mu Jinyu up by car.

"Well, let's go straight to the Dan Pavilion."

Mu Jinyu opened the car door, got in, and said to the Sub-hall Master.

"Alright."

The Sub-hall Master Luo Chen nodded slightly and then smoothly drove towards the Dan Pavilion.

After a drive of about ten minutes,

the car stopped before a grand and elegant estate on the outskirts of Luo City.

"The Dragon Master has arrived," Luo Chen stated as he stopped the car and looked back at Mu Jinyu.

"Hmm."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu paused from his derivation using the Forbidden Rune obtained from Mount Tai, slowly opened his eyes, and said to Luo Chen, "Thank you for your efforts."

"No worries, it's my pride and pleasure to drive for the Dragon Master," Luo Chen replied with a simple smile, showing a row of neat teeth.

Mu Jinyu chuckled, and noticing that although Luo Chen was the Sub-hall Master of the Luo City branch, his cultivation was only at the Fifth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, he took out several jade bottles and handed them to Luo Chen, advising, "This bottle of elixir is suitable for your current cultivation stage, while the remaining bottles are for use at the late Divine Transformation Realm Stage and the early Fanxu Realm."

"Use them well for your cultivation."

After explaining the effects of the elixirs to Luo Chen, Mu Jinyu placed them in his hands and then exited the car.

Luo Chen was somewhat flattered, not expecting to receive so many elixirs just for driving Mu Jinyu.

He reacted quickly and hurriedly said, "Dragon Master, I... this..."

Mu Jinyu turned back with a smile and said, "It's alright, accept them. As the Sub-hall Master of the Dragon King Hall, having low cultivation is not ideal. If you think you can't use them all by yourself, share them with reliable brothers at the Luo City branch."

After a pause, Mu Jinyu continued, "Hmm, you can return now. Once I'm done here, I'll leave directly; no need for you to see me off again."

"Okay," Luo Chen replied, his expression somewhat complex, but nodded as Mu Jinyu instructed.

Then he drove away from Luo City.

In truth, Luo Chen's cultivation was not considered low. In the Dragon King Hall's headquarters, only Yu Shenfeng was at the First Layer of the Fanxu Realm, while other high-level members like Gu Xiyan, San Liu, and Qiu Bai were only at the sixth or seventh layers of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Attaining the position of Sub-hall Master of the Luo City branch and reaching the Fifth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm was quite commendable on its own.

Therefore, noticing Luo Chen's potential, Mu Jinyu deliberately gifted him these elixirs.

Otherwise, these superior elixirs that expedited cultivation were typically distributed within the Dragon King Hall based on merit and contribution.

Usually, members received standard elixirs that were not as beneficial.

Retracting his gaze, Mu Jinyu looked at several high-ranked members of the Dan Pavilion waiting respectfully at the estate's entrance and asked, "Who is the current Pavilion Master among you?"

Because he was unsure of the exact location of the Dan Pavilion and didn't want to be blocked at the gate upon arrival, forcing his way in for inquiry, Mu Jinyu had Luo Chen drive him straight to the Dan Pavilion.

Naturally, while escorting Mu Jinyu to the Dan Pavilion, Luo Chen had informed them in advance that the Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall would be arriving for inspection.

Thus, all high-ranking members of the Dan Pavilion waited nervously at the entrance for Mu Jinyu's arrival.

The Dan Pavilion had not progressed as well as in its early days during the year following the revival of Spiritual Energy because Wang Mao and several top members perished while attempting to ambush Mu Jinyu.

This event nearly led to the collapse of the Dan Pavilion, almost turning it into a relic of history.

Although it did not collapse and managed to survive barely, it could no longer occupy any famous mountains for further development.

Instead, it became a subordinate of the Dragon King Hall.

With a new batch of leaders in place, the Dan Pavilion's high-rank members were quite anxious about Mu Jinyu's visit, despite not knowing his intentions.

After all, nearly the entire previous executive team of the Dan Pavilion had died at Mu Jinyu's hands.

Who could say if Mu Jinyu's visit wasn't to settle past accounts?

"I... I am..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's query, a man in his forties hesitantly stepped forward and spoke.

"Oh, what is your name?" Mu Jinyu asked.

The man, with a slightly pale complexion, swallowed hard and replied, trembling, "My name is... Wang Xingyang..."

"Ah, so you're a Wang..."

Upon hearing the name, Mu Jinyu recalled Wang Mao, whom he had killed, and after a moment's thought, asked, "What relation was Wang Mao to you?"

"He was my... uncle..." Wang Xingyang's face grew even paler, but he dared not conceal anything and answered honestly.

"Oh, that makes sense," Mu Jinyu nodded, understanding why he appeared so frightened.

However, Mu Jinyu harbored no plans of settling old scores with them, so after learning Wang Xingyang was Wang Mao's nephew, he showed no particular reaction.

After all, when Wang Mao and his entourage came to ambush him, he hadn't intended to conduct a massive reckoning with the main body of the Dan Pavilion after retaliating. He was even less inclined to revisit old grudges now that he was prompted to visit the Dan Pavilion because of the mystical little tree.

With a slight nod and feeling that the prior conversation had established some familiarity with the current Pavilion Master of the Dan Pavilion, Mu Jinyu wasted no time on trivial talk and inquired directly:

"Since you are Wang Mao's nephew, you should know about an exotic species brimming with Spiritual Energy, somewhat resembling a Spirit Stone, that Wang Mao had. Do you know where he obtained it?"
