Zhang Yan's eyes flashed as he listened to Zhi Tong's words. Without hesitation, he retrieved the Vermilion Bird Talisman that Fu Yuqing had given him and handed it to Master Shi, saying, "Master Shi, this item can summon the essence of an immortal beast, equivalent to a Xuan Guang Third Realm Cultivator. Take it and shelter yourself somewhere for the time being. I will descend to search for the remains of the Ganoderma Ancestor."
Master Shi knew there was no time to delay. If they lost the Ganoderma Ancestor now, it would be almost impossible to retrieve it later. He did not refuse and took the token, responding in a deep voice, "Li Daoist, take care." Without further hesitation, he quickly lifted Zhi Tong, mounted a magic artifact, and flew into the distance.
