Chapter 281: [280] The Palace Lord of the Mysterious Palace's Unexpected Attention

Xiangling Yao Forest.

"...Please come down for a chat!"

Cheng Han's voice drifted up into the sky.

A response immediately came as a figure descended from the Mysterious Boat. "Master Cheng Xuan, please wait a moment! Let me find a place to land first!"

The Mysterious Boat had its own Wind Control Formation, but during its operation, boarding or disembarking would interfere with the formation.

Advanced Mysterious Boats had multiple sets of Wind Control Formations to avoid this problem, but this was the lowest-level Mysterious Boat, so it had to land first before the cabin door could be opened.

Shortly after.

The Mysterious Boat gently moved and slowly flew towards the outskirts of the forest.

Cheng Han glanced at it and shouted, "Retreat!"

Inside the Sea of Spiritual Consciousness.

The Lingmiao Forest Mysterious Seal once again emitted a faint light.

Another wave swept through.

In an instant.

A grand scene appeared.

The entire forest moved together.

Thousands of Xiangling Yao uprooted themselves and started moving.

"Rustle~"

This was the sound of branches rubbing against each other.

"Shh! Shh!"

This was the sound of tree roots moving.

At a glance.

This forest was like a boiling ocean.

After just a few breaths.

Within a fifty-meter radius centered around Cheng Han, the area suddenly emptied, and the Xiangling Yao obediently retreated from the area.

This was undoubtedly a small display of skill.

The meaning was clear - I don't feel like walking, so let the Mysterious Boat land here!

Soon.

"Boom!"

The bottom of the Mysterious Boat touched the ground, causing a tremor.

Two black-robed Xuan Masters walked out of the cabin one after another and greeted in unison, "Master Cheng Xuan, nice to meet you!"

The expressions of the two were quite subtle, and their gazes were also quite complicated.

Obviously.

The extraordinary method of "uttering a word and making the Xiangling Yao obey" greatly shocked the two Xuan Masters.

It was well known that Xiangling Yao were creatures with explosive tempers, and even ordinary Xuan Masters who mastered the Wood Spirit Mysterious Seal would find it difficult to make them obedient.

But this newly promoted Xuan Master casually shouted a word and created such a big scene.

Who wouldn't be impressed?

A Xuan Master with red glimmers in his pupils politely said, "Master Cheng Xuan, the Palace Lord wants to see you. Please come with us to meet the Palace Lord."

Another tall and thin Xuan Master gestured with a "please" and had the same polite attitude. "Master Cheng Xuan, please board the Mysterious Boat!"

Cheng Han responded with a nod and walked towards the Mysterious Boat.

At the same time.

He sighed lightly in his heart.

During the month he had stayed in the Mysterious Palace, he had encountered some Xuan Masters.

But their attitudes were either condescending and scrutinizing or cold and distant. Even if he took the initiative to approach and chat, they would only say a few perfunctory words before leaving.

Without exception.

Now that he had displayed his extraordinary talent, he immediately felt respected.

All of these made him unable to help but suspect whether the Mysterious Palace was strict in hierarchy or had too many snobbish people, or perhaps both.

Soon.

The Mysterious Boat took off.

"Rustle~"

The Xiangling Yao swayed their branches together, creating wave after wave, seemingly expressing a farewell.

Two mysterious scholars noticed this scene, their eyes flashing with a hint of surprise.

The scholar with crimson pupils seemed too curious to resist asking, "Cheng Han, how do you manage to control the Oak Spirit so effortlessly?"

Cheng Han smiled and shook his head, "I have never controlled them. I simply lived in the forest for a month and became friends with them."

The scholar with crimson pupils nodded lightly, "I see."

But judging from his expression, it was clear that he didn't fully believe it.

In fact...

"Becoming friends" was only part of the reason. The other crucial reason was the Spirit Mist Forest Seal.

This was an extraordinary and magical existence that made all the Oak Spirits fully recognize Cheng Han as one of their own.

Combined with the one-on-one "guidance" of each Oak Spirit, Cheng Han had completely gained their trust, and they were willing to follow his commands.

Therefore...

Cheng Han's statement of "never controlling" was indeed not a lie.

As for whether others believed it or not, he couldn't be bothered.

Lanpu Garden.

Although it was called a "garden," it was actually a public park that encompassed more than ten hills and covered an area of over three square kilometers.

The entire Lanpu Garden was planted with a type of tall tree called the "Lanpu Tree."

Despite the temperature nearing freezing point, each Lanpu Tree was still adorned with numerous flowers, resembling orchids in appearance.

The most peculiar thing was that each hill had Lanpu Trees with the exact same flower color, while another hill had a different color.

Looking down from the mysterious boat, the ground of this park looked like it was painted with patches of different colors, with shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, creating a magnificent sight.

Cheng Han saw this scene through the glass of the boat and his eyes were filled with admiration.

The scholar with crimson pupils glanced at him and explained, "The Lanpu Trees are cultivated using wood spirit techniques, and the flower colors are adjusted using related techniques, hence creating such a magnificent view."

Cheng Han nodded, "Indeed, it's beautiful."

The tall and thin scholar, while piloting the boat, casually inserted a comment, "Wood spirit techniques do have their merits, but unfortunately, they have limitations. In areas with more forests and plants, wood spirit techniques are quite powerful, but in other places, their power is greatly reduced."

Cheng Han smiled and agreed, "You're right!"

He knew very well that the other scholar's words carried a hint of provocation.

The incredible power of the Spirit Mist Forest Seal far exceeded the imagination of ordinary scholars. The deduction scene just now had already proven this point. As long as it was within the range of the Sacred Banyan Tree, the seal could unleash astonishing power.

But why argue with the tall and thin scholar?

As long as he was happy!

---

Before long, Cheng Han saw the master of the Xuan Palace, Yun Changtian.

For him, this was actually a familiar face.

Back then, in order to deal with the Sin and Life Serpent, he used the space-time beacon to deduce its location and transmitted the information to the Council Building in Taian Beiting City.

At that time, this Xuan Inspector personally rushed to the scene and then used a secret technique to summon the shadow of the Divine General Lan Yun's soul.

In the deduction scene, he had personally seen this Xuan Inspector with striking white hair.

Now.

Yun Changtian looked Cheng Han up and down and smiled, "Indeed, a young genius!"

Cheng Han respectfully replied, "You flatter me!"

Yun Changtian shook his head, "It's not flattery!"

Cheng Han felt that he couldn't respond to this statement.

The scholar with crimson pupils and the tall and thin scholar stood beside them, their expressions filled with surprise.

Every Xuan Inspector was a genius. A "young genius" in the mouth of a Xuan Inspector was definitely not an ordinary compliment.

The next words from Yun Changtian made the two scholars startled:

"Cheng Han, if you are willing to come to the Xuan Palace, I can personally set up a palace for you and appoint you as the Palace Master!"

Usually...

Only Xuan Masters could serve as Palace Masters. To let a newly promoted Xuan Scholar become a Palace Master was definitely an unprecedented event.

The two scholars couldn't help but think:

Why did the Palace Master value Cheng Han so much? What kind of seal has he comprehended?
