"Child, you have a great aptitude for fitting into a better society of cultivators, it seems. Not many of us can get past their inhibition regarding their personal cultivation techniques. Few would be bold enough to sell their hard-earned cultivation manual to their peers.
"I like children like you the most; kids who can see past their narrow vision, overcome the superstitions of their era, and catch the opportunities floating by! This is a commendable mindset. Keep it up! Go get the job done whenever you want to; I'll certainly approve the application!"
Enthusiastically, he bid them goodbye and disappeared inside his palace.
A bit dumbfounded, Han Xuhan left the sect master's mountain in a daze with Mu Ran and Xuanyuan Zhou tagging alongside him, both equally in disbelief over the exchange.
