Lingmu saw the Divine Tree restored to vitality, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you, young cultivators, you have not only saved the Divine Tree but also the entire forest." Lingmu expressed his gratitude.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang humbly replied, "This is what we ought to do, Mr. Lingmu."
Lingmu nodded, then took out two items from his bosom and handed them to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
"This is a token of the forest's gratitude, and I hope they will aid you on your journey."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang accepted the items and found them to be a pair of exquisite protective talismans, engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint glow.
"Thank you, Mr. Lingmu." Luo Chen and Qing Shuang thanked him once more.
After bidding farewell to Lingmu, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued their journey.
They knew there were more challenges ahead, but they believed that as long as they persisted, they would surely overcome them.
