Du Wenzhen nodded, and the young female worker walked past them, heading straight to the largest office opposite.

Xiao Mu's face turned green, and his throat involuntarily surged, as if he might vomit again at any moment. His memory seemed stuck on the open Blackwood Bottle hanging from the female worker's chest. In his memory, the bottle's opening was like a black hole, inside a horrifying cesspool, "Can she tolerate that smell?"

Du Wenzhen laughed, "People tend to emulate what those above them enjoy, and besides, you get used to it over time."

As he spoke, Du Wenzhen suddenly sneered, with contempt in his voice, "Some people even think the Blackwood Bottle has a fragrance. They've written articles discussing the bottle's smell and taste, considering it a high taste. Those who think it stinks are just lacking taste."

Xiao Mu shivered, hurriedly saying, "I'd rather people say I lack taste."

"Haha, Old Xiao knows me well, we see eye to eye on this." Du Wenzhen laughed and patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder.

"Your deputy director, he's called Liu Yan?" Xiao Mu suddenly recalled a name he'd heard at Old Chen's bar.

"You've heard of him too?" Du Wenzhen was surprised, staring at Xiao Mu with a look that said he didn't expect him to pay attention to such people, "I didn't expect it, Old Xiao, for you to care about such insignificant figures? You're a Grand Elder now, is Liu Yan really that impressive?"

As the deputy director of errands at the Great Tang Ruins, Liu Yan naturally wields considerable influence.

However, for a Grand Elder of the Alliance Headquarters, the role of deputy director at the Great Tang Ruins is still insignificant.

No wonder Du Wenzhen was surprised.

"Just a ghost's idle curiosity, merely heard the name."

Xiao Mu's answer relieved Du Wenzhen.

"I thought you had intentionally paid attention to Liu Yan, surprised he could catch the eye of a Grand Elder. But since it's just hearsay, I'm relieved. Old Xiao..."

With that, Du Wenzhen looked at Xiao Mu earnestly, praising him, "It's rumored you became a True God and were made a Grand Elder, is this true?"

Xiao Mu smiled at Du Wenzhen, "It's no rumor."

"So you've really become a True God? Congratulations, Old Xiao." Du Wenzhen showed a hint of delight, quickly followed by, "But I'm not far behind, I recently entered the True God Realm."

"Now, I'm like you, a strong presence in the True God Realm. Old Xiao, you're a True God, I'm in the True God Realm. Our strengths should be about the same as before, right?"

About the same? Old Du, you're a bit overconfident. The gap between True God Realm and True God is huge, isn't it?

A world of difference, really.

As an old acquaintance, Xiao Mu wasn't so polite with Du Wenzhen, he nodded seriously, "Indeed, not much difference. I could press you to death with one finger."

"Old Xiao, you're so full of yourself."

Du Wenzhen gave Xiao Mu a look, his face showing dissatisfaction, "Even if you're a True God, a bit stronger than me, it's not to the point of crushing me with one finger, is it? Is our strength gap really that big?"

"Right, I misspoke. I mean, I could crush you ten times over with one finger. Forgot to tell you, I'm currently in the mid-stage of True God."

Xiao Mu kept a straight face, responding calmly.

"Mid-stage... of True God?"

Du Wenzhen was completely stunned, staring at Xiao Mu, his expression one of disbelief and denial.

After a long while, he finally came back to his senses, gazing at Xiao Mu with a sigh, "You've reached mid-stage True God? Ah! Old Xiao, you've dealt me a heavy blow, how did you advance so quickly?"

This prompted envy from Du Wenzhen.

Xiao Mu just smiled silently, not answering Du Wenzhen's question.

Seeing this, Du Wenzhen felt even more distressed. Initially, when they first met, he and Xiao Mu's strengths were similar, but in just two years, the gap between them had grown irreparably.

"You're a monster, forget it, I won't compete with you, comparing only saddens me further." Du Wenzhen lamented for a while, finally finding some solace, "Let's go, Old Xiao, I'll take you to see the Archives of Kuang Clan's Descendants."

Under Du Wenzhen's guidance, they passed through the office hall, entering the Archives from a side door.

Du Wenzhen instructed a worker to fetch the archives, while he waited with Xiao Mu in an office.

Soon, the archives of Kuang Clan's Descendants were brought in, contained in small bottles of blood.

"Old Xiao, here's the blood of Kuang Clan's Descendants that you wanted. What are you planning to do with it?"

Du Wenzhen pointed to the bottles of blood for Xiao Mu.

"Just a check."

Xiao Mu said as he stepped forward, picking up a bottle of blood to examine closely.

He even released a strand of Divine Sense, carefully sensing the spirituality within the blood.

Most of the Kuang Clan's Descendants are mutated beings, and the concentration of spirituality in their blood is relatively high.

However, it wasn't long before Xiao Mu frowned.

The spirituality in the blood was completely different from the spirit blood he obtained from Kuang Shenfeng's ancient tomb.

This meant that the spirit blood and the current blood were not from the same source.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but turn to Du Wenzhen to inquire, "Old Du, are you sure this is really the blood of Kuang Clan's Descendants?"
