"Ahem, ahem, Master Priest Mu, I apologize for my limited knowledge. I didn't realize you had such a skill. I apologize for any impoliteness in my words." Wu Yizi coughed dryly and spoke to Mu Hanyan awkwardly. "Yes, it's a shame. We've lived so long, yet we don't even have this much foresight. I hope Master Priest will bear with us," Zhou Jilin added, also looking embarrassed. Having just accused Mu Hanyan of being young and arrogant, now admitting his own lack of knowledge and judgment, the two of them were practically slapping themselves in the face. But for the sake of the Heavenly Spirit Fire, they risked everything. They weren't mercenaries, but rather the significance of the Heavenly Spirit Fire to alchemists was too great. Mu Hanyan was arguably the only person in the world who could unlock its secrets, and they couldn't help but bow their heads. Besides, Gao Weihu hadn't shown any signs of abnormality even after the needles had been removed. He looked peaceful and calm, as if soundly asleep. Mu Hanyan's treatment had clearly been effective. This alone was enough to make Wu Zhou and the others, who had previously been helpless and could only barely seal Gao Weihu's consciousness, pale in comparison. Whether they admitted their mistakes or not, the facts were before them, so bowing their heads and apologizing to Mu Hanyan wasn't too humiliating. "You two elders are too kind. You're only reprimanding me because you're worried about Brother Gao's safety. I can't blame you," Mu Hanyan quickly helped them up. While the two men often took advantage of their seniority and acted like superiors, they did have some arrogance. Ultimately, they were concerned for Gao Weihu's safety, and their intentions were good. Mu Hanyan wasn't about to be unreasonable. Since they had already admitted their mistakes, there was no need to dwell on them. "Master Mu, you are so young, yet you possess such a broad mind. This truly puts me to shame." Seeing that Mu Hanyan hadn't taken their earlier reprimands to heart, Wu Zhou and the others were impressed, yet also deeply ashamed of their own prior exploitation of their seniority. "You are too kind, gentlemen," Mu Hanyan said with a calm smile. "Master Mu, with all due respect, may I ask where exactly this Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Fire in your hand came from?" After a few pleasantries, Wu Yizi eagerly inquired. Mu Hanyan hesitated. The birth of this wild fire was most likely related to her Primal Chaos Heavenly Fire. She was now certain that the power lingering within Gao Weihu's mind was, in fact, the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Fire. It was merely a spirituality, not a true spiritual fire, that made it difficult to distinguish, and was even mistaken for a highly toxic substance. The eventual birth of a true spiritual fire was likely related to it. After all, it was the source of all fires, so it wasn't surprising that it could condense and form already spiritual free fire elements. However, when she restored the spirituality of Gu Qingyang's Fire Stone, she failed to produce spiritual fire. In other words, Primal Chaos Skyfire alone couldn't achieve this, and it was likely related to her Heavenly Heart Technique. The secret of the spiritual fire was fine; others would have guessed it anyway. However, the details of the Heavenly Heart Technique must never be revealed to outsiders, lest it harm not only herself but also others. "If I'm not mistaken, it's related to the Ancient Tree of Life." Just as Mu Hanyan was trying to figure out how to explain herself without revealing any flaws, Gao Weihu suddenly opened his eyes and explained on her behalf. "Young Master!" Gao Jie'en cried out in ecstasy, throwing himself before Gao Weihu, tears streaming down his face. "Mr. Gao, you're okay." Wu Yizi and Zhou Jilin also turned their heads suddenly, with sincere joy on their faces.
