Chapter 3 Tengshan: Do you want a wife or not?
During this period, Mu Zhan continuously strengthened his physique by soaking in various medicinal baths that helped enhance his physical strength, and his physical strength has now surpassed that of his peers.
With his own fighting spirit, Mu Zhan also possesses the ability to refine medicine. As a transmigrator, his soul strength is up to par, and with the balancing power of the Tiger Talisman, Mu Zhan doesn't need to worry about failing to refine pills.
Therefore, as long as it is wood-based alchemy, it will never fail, and there is no need to consider factors such as drug interactions.
When Mu Chen heard that his son had the talent of an alchemist, he immediately hired a third-grade alchemist to teach Mu Zhan. He also managed to get Mu Zhan a fifth-order beast fire through some means. It has to be said that this father was really generous.
When Mu Zhan obtained the beast fire, he did not intend to absorb it in the traditional way. Instead, he used the Yin-Yang Creation Technique to draw the beast fire into his body to continuously temper his physique and devour its energy.
With the help of the three great talismans, Mu Zhan's life is not in danger. He only needs to endure the pain. His body will become stronger and stronger under the tempering of the flames, comparable to a magical beast of the same level.
Without hesitation, Mu Zhan activated his cultivation technique, swallowing the essence of the beast fire into his mouth and letting it flow through his limbs and bones along the path of the technique. During this time, Mu Zhan almost fainted from the pain, but he still managed to persevere thanks to his strong willpower.
The flames continuously tempered his body, expanding Mu Zhan's meridians, while the power of the horse talisman repaired his damaged body and meridians again and again.
After Mu Zhan absorbed all the energy of the beast fire, his battle qi level reached the one-star battle master level, and his physical strength was comparable to that of a peak second-tier magical beast.
With the breakthrough in his combat qi level, his alchemy skills have also made some progress, and he can now refine top-grade second-rank pills.
At this time, Mu Zhan was only eleven years old.
Having completed his training, Mu Zhan also wanted to tell Mu Chen about his upcoming training trip.
He changed his clothes, packed his belongings into his storage ring, and once everything was ready, he prepared to go out to find Mu Chen.
Just as I stepped out the door, I encountered a servant who came to report.
"Young Master Mu Zhan, the clan chief requests your presence in the council hall."
Did they say what it was about?
"I am unaware."
"Okay, I understand."
After the servant finished reporting, he bowed to Mu Zhan and turned to leave.
"What is it?"
As Mu Zhan walked, he pondered the scene. It reminded him of Nalan Yanran coming to annul her engagement. He couldn't very well have a fiancée coming to annul his engagement, could he?
Mu Zhan shook his head and stepped into the council hall.
Then they saw Mu Chen smiling as he talked with a man and a woman, with Nalan Yanran sitting next to the noblewoman.
Nalan Yanran did come, but she didn't come to annul the engagement. Instead, she heard that her teacher intended to recruit Mu Zhan into the Yunlan Sect, and since she hadn't seen Mu Zhan for a while, she couldn't help but come with Yun Yun.
When Nalan Yanran saw Mu Zhan enter, her eyes lit up. Then she remembered how Mu Zhan had humiliated her in the past and often made her angry. So she turned her head away, deliberately not looking at Mu Zhan, but she couldn't help but glance at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Zhan'er, you're here."
"Let me introduce you. This is Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, and her disciple. She has come today specifically to invite you to join the Yunlan Sect."
"This is Chief Tengshan; he's here to introduce you to a potential marriage partner!"
Mu Chen enthusiastically introduced the two of them to Mu Zhan.
Upon entering and seeing the two people, Mu Zhan had a pretty good idea of who they were.
"Sect Leader Yun, Clan Chief Tengshan, greetings!"
Mu Zhan bowed to Yun Yun and Teng Shan.
"And what about me?"
Nalan Yanran, who had been ignored by Mu Zhan, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped in front of Mu Zhan, put her hands on her hips, and looked at him with a sullen expression.
"Miss Nalan, it's been a long time."
Mu Zhan wondered what he had done to offend this girl, but on the surface, he gave her a perfunctory greeting with a forced smile.
After Mu Zhan finished bowing, he carefully examined the two people in front of him. There was nothing interesting about the old man Teng Shan, so his gaze was mostly on Yun Yun.
One of the few female Dou Huangs in the Jia Ma Empire, and the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, her temperament is unparalleled and incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Her long black hair was styled into an elegant phoenix bun, her beautiful face was calm and serene, her voice was melodious and pleasant, and her temperament was noble and aloof.
"Would you like to come with me to the Yunlan Sect to cultivate?"
Yun Yun smiled as she looked at Mu Zhan, her tone like an older sister coaxing a child, even though Mu Zhan did indeed look like a child at the moment.
"I'm sorry, Sect Master Yun, I have no plans to go to Yunlan Sect for the time being."
This is ridiculous! The Yunlan Sect is colluding with the Soul Hall. If you go there, you might get some kind of secret technique implanted in you, or you might be targeted by a Soul Hall protector who will later extract your soul.
Joining the Yunlan Sect is too risky. Although Mu Zhan has the Dog Talisman to protect him from death, he will still die if it is an instant kill.
Even if he doesn't die, capturing him for research would be more painful than death. Therefore, Mu Zhan is unwilling to confront the Soul Palace before he develops up. His family also doesn't have any ancient jade, so it's unlikely they'll come after him.
Mu Zhan's plan is to wait for Canaan Academy to recruit students, join the academy, and accumulate experience through training in the chaotic Black Corner Region.
"Why not join the Yunlan Sect? The Yunlan Sect is so great."
Nalan Yanran thought that Mu Zhan would join the Yunlan Sect in the future, and she would be able to see Mu Zhan every day.
To her surprise, Mu Zhan refused without even thinking. She was very puzzled that he would refuse such a good offer from Yunlan Sect.
At the same time, Nalan Yanran wondered if Mu Zhan avoided her every time he saw her because he disliked her, which was why he didn't go to Yunlan Sect.
Nalan Yanran's face visibly fell, and she felt a little wronged. Her eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at Mu Zhan. What was wrong with her? Why did Mu Zhan run away every time he saw her?
"Hey! I didn't do anything, did I? What's with that look you're giving that scumbag the eye?"
Mu Zhan inadvertently caught the way Nalan Yanran was looking at him, as if he had abandoned her. He hadn't done anything wrong, Mu Zhan kept complaining to himself.
"Alright, you can come to Yunlan Sect if you need anything. Yunlan Sect has all kinds of advanced techniques, combat skills and cultivation resources."
Yun Yun wasn't the type to pester anyone, and since Mu Zhan had no intention of joining the Yunlan Sect, she didn't force him.
"Mu Zhan, do you want a wife or not? Just say the word, and I'll send her to you in a bit."
Mittel Tengshan, with his squinty eyes, came over and introduced Mu Zhan to potential partners with a smile.
As expected, it will be Ya Fei. In the original story, the Mittel family wanted to marry Ya Fei to Mu Zhan to form a marriage alliance between the two families. Now it's just been brought forward.
"Chief Tengshan, let's forget about it. I don't have any plans in that regard for the time being."
Mu Zhan has no such plans.
Firstly, he doesn't really need to solidify the relationship between the two families through marriage.
Secondly, he didn't really like being bound by these rules and regulations of arranged marriage. If the two parties were destined to be together, they would naturally be together, and he believed that Ya Fei felt the same way.
Therefore, Mu Zhan could only politely decline.
Tengshan wasn't upset about being rejected. There's plenty of time, and maybe he'll agree in the future. It's true that the two families have a good relationship.
Seeing that Mu Zhan rejected Mittel's marriage proposal, Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why she felt relieved, but she was just very unhappy to see Mu Zhan marrying someone else.
"Goodbye."
The matter was not resolved, and Tengshan and Yunyun took their leave. Mu Chen saw them off at the Mu family home before turning back.
