From a guide's perspective, Mu Shuntian could be considered an incredibly competent guide. From the moment Zheng Gongxuan and his wife left their temporary residence in Cloud Valley, Mu Shuntian began enthusiastically introducing Zheng Ming to the many sights of Heavenly God Mountain.
There was a massive pine that stood thousands of feet tall, its branches sprawling like a Jiaolong. According to Mu Shuntian, this pine had grown atop the mountain's summit long before Heavenly God Mountain was established, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and producing thirty-six pine nuts every century.
Just one of these thirty-six pine nuts could elevate a mortal's cultivation level directly to the Ascension Realm, with no adverse side effects.
After introducing this colossal pine, Mu Shuntian had someone pluck two pine nuts from it—one for Zheng Ming, and the other for himself.
