"However, to build the teleportation array, we need the cooperation of other temples. I am afraid that I am too weak to convince them." Wen Gaoren said with some embarrassment.
It's no wonder he was in such a dilemma. Once the teleportation array was completed, the Flower Rain Temple would undoubtedly become the core of the Twelve Temples, surpassing their status. Originally, while the Twelve Temples had varying strengths, the differences weren't significant, and their status was equal. The head priests of each temple might not be happy with the Flower Rain Temple being elevated above them.
"I will write a letter to discuss this matter with them myself. You should make preparations first. As soon as they reply, we will take action immediately." Mu Hanyan thought about it and knew what Wen Gaoren was worried about, but still said decisively.
"I'm afraid they won't agree." Wen Gaoren said hesitantly.
"They will agree." Mu Hanyan smiled slightly and continued, "As long as the chief priests of each hall know the current situation of Huayu City, they will understand that it is only a matter of time before Huayu Temple surpasses other halls, and it is not something they can change.
With my current strength, it is enough to intimidate them. If I promise them some benefits and let them know that once this teleportation formation is built, it will not only benefit my Huayu Temple, but also them. Then I will not be afraid that no one will be tempted.
As long as one temple is interested, the others won't have to worry. They'll be left behind by Huayu Temple sooner or later anyway. By partnering with us, they'll at least be on par with the others. If they reject our offer, they'll be left behind. They know their choice.
Looking at the confident smile on Mu Hanyan's face, Wen Gaoren and Gu Qingyang were both stunned. After thinking about it carefully, they both showed admiration.
Under such coercion and inducement, there was no real fear of those temples not cooperating. Given the vision and foresight of the chief priests of each temple, Mu Hanyan didn't even need to say anything; they would have figured out the interests involved and would be vying to cooperate with the Flower Rain Temple.
It turned out that this High Priest was not only incredibly gifted, but also possessed an incredible ability to understand people's hearts. Both of them were filled with admiration.
"Okay, please ask Master Wu and Master Zhou to come over first. I will also subdue the spiritual fire for them." Mu Hanyan said.
“Master Priest (Master), don’t you need to rest for a few days?” the two asked.
According to Gao Weihu, in order to subdue the spiritual fire, Mu Hanyan will not only need the spiritual fruit produced by the Tree of Life, but it will also cause great damage to her spiritual thoughts and spiritual power. The two are worried about Mu Hanyan's health.
"No need, just ask them both to come over." Mu Hanyan said.
It's been delayed for so many days, it should be about time. If it goes on any longer, she'll get impatient.
"Oh." The two looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion.
The surprise in their hearts gradually subsided, and the two of them calmed down. Only then did they realize that Mu Hanyan's eyes were clear and her spirit was refreshed, without any signs of severe damage.
Could it be that Gao Weihu's words were nonsense, and that taming the Spiritual Fire wouldn't cause much damage to the High Priest? The same thought came to their minds.
"By the way, don't let them know about your Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire. It's best not to let anyone know." Mu Hanyan interrupted the two people's speculation and gave another reminder.
"Master (Master Priest), don't worry, we will be careful." After all, the two were nearly a hundred years old, so they naturally knew that it was a crime to possess a treasure, and they responded cautiously.
Soon, Wu Yizi and Zhou Jilin were invited to the secret room.
"Master Priest, I wonder what instructions you have for calling us here?" Wu Yizi asked.
"Master Wu, thank you both for your hard work during this period." Mu Hanyan said sincerely.
During this period, the two of them refined a large number of pills for the Huayu Temple. Although Gu Qingyang and Tang Feng, the heads of several families, also made considerable efforts, they were far from comparable to them in terms of both the quantity and quality of the pills they refined.
During this period, the temple had hundreds of new priests, and the Huayu Chamber of Commerce's medicine business had gradually gained some fame, mostly due to the efforts of the two of them.
"Your Excellency the Chief Priest is too kind. Since we have already joined the Flower Rain Temple, this is our responsibility." The two said politely.
"I won't waste any more time on idle chatter. My body has almost recovered, and I can help you subdue the spiritual fire of heaven and earth." There was no need to waste too much time on rambling when talking to such an old man who had seen a lot of things. After expressing her gratitude, Mu Hanyan quickly got to the point.
"Then...then thank you very much, sir." The two said excitedly. They had been waiting for this day.
"I won't go into details about what to do. You two have seen Brother Gao's injuries and should know how dangerous it is. You must stay focused. No matter what I do, don't be distracted. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I won't be able to save you. I may even be attacked by the fire spirit and die without a burial place." Mu Hanyan said solemnly.
"Master Priest, please be careful. We know what to do." After hearing Mu Hanyan say this, the two of them were inexplicably nervous and their expressions were unusually solemn.
Wen Gaoren and Gu Qingyang exchanged a glance. They remembered how Mu Hanyan had been so effortless in helping them subdue the spirit fire, not even saying anything beforehand. It hadn't been all that long since they realized what the High Priest was doing. Why was he being so serious now?
As the two men looked on in confusion, Mu Hanyan used the Star Gathering Spell to inject the fire element from the Fire Stone into their minds. When their minds merged with it, she began to condense and subdue the spiritual fire for them.
The process was exactly the same as before, and Mu Hanyan's eyes were still clear and her expression was still calm. She didn't seem to be nervous at all about the possibility of being attacked by the spiritual fire and dying without a burial place.
However, Wu Yizi and Zhou Jilin remembered Mu Hanyan's instructions, closed their eyes and focused their minds, their whole bodies tense, fearing that any accidents would happen.
Looking at the tension on their faces, and then looking at Mu Hanyan's relaxed expression, Wen Gaoren and Gu Qingyang felt so weird.
"Success!" With Mu Hanyan's joyful cheer, two spiritual fires appeared on her fingers, and then happily flew onto the shoulders of Wu Zhou and the other man, floating around like delicate flowers in the wind.
Although they had experienced it before, Wen Gaoren and Gu Qingyang couldn't help but feel fascinated by the spiritual fire floating on Wu Zhou and the others, and they both lost their minds for a moment.
"Master Priest, I, Wu Yizi, will never forget your kindness. I will go through fire and water for you in the future." Wu Yizi said with tears in his eyes, deeply moved.
