First, he raised his head and called An Yue, Luo Mei, and Ya Fei to come.

Lin Tian’s voice echoed throughout the sect. It wasn’t usual for Lin Tian to call them in such a way.

That was enough to make the three of them frightened, not knowing how to respond.

They hurriedly stepped into the sect’s main building and met Lin Tian.

"What is it, Master Lin?"

Lin Tian tapped his bag of holding and took out three items from inside.

He gave the profound-grade elemental technique to An Yue, then gave the profound-grade array scroll to Ya Fei, and lastly handed the tier two pill recipe to Luo Mei.

They received different items. An Yue and Ya Fei opened the scrolls and looked at them, while Luo Mei activated her qi and read the pill recipe on the token.

"Profound-grade?" An Yue and Ya Fei said in shock.

"A tier two pill recipe?" Luo Mei continued, just as shocked.

Lin Tian nodded, already able to guess the expressions they were showing.

He explained that they already had to leave mortal-grade techniques behind and focus on learning higher techniques according to their fields, one of them being profound-grade.

"Unlike learning mortal-grade techniques, for profound-grade techniques, you have to study them carefully and with full precision," Lin Tian explained.

"Because I’m not setting a cultivation base achievement target in the near future, you can study them at ease."

"If there’s anything you need to ask, don’t hesitate to come here," Lin Tian added.

An Yue showed a very bright smile, her heart beating happily because she could learn a new technique that was greater and stronger than her previous one.

Ya Fei felt the same. She felt challenged to study a new array technique again.

According to Wu Yue, with her current cultivation base, Ya Fei could bring out array techniques perfectly and for a relatively long time.

Luo Mei fell silent for a moment, triggering Lin Tian’s curiosity.

"What is it, Luo Mei?" Lin Tian asked.

"I’m happy to receive a pill recipe, but I don’t have a pill refining cauldron," Luo Mei replied.

Lin Tian fell silent for a moment, his heart also feeling Luo Mei’s worry. Even so, he realized that a cauldron was an inseparable part of pill refining.

Without a cauldron, it would be difficult or even impossible to form a pill.

He tapped his bag of holding and brought out three pouches filled with spirit stones for them.

An Yue and Ya Fei received 100 spirit stones, while Luo Mei received 200.

An Yue was slightly surprised by the spirit stone pouch. "What is this for, Master Lin?"

"A bonus from me because you’ve successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment. You can use that money however you like."

"Mei’er?"

Luo Mei raised her head and turned to Lin Tian. "Yes, Master Lin?"

"I’m giving you more so you can buy a cauldron in the city. You can ask Elder Wu to help you choose the best cauldron."

"Today, I want you to already have a cauldron and start learning pill refining from Elder Wu," Lin Tian explained.

Her previously gloomy expression now changed into a bright smile after receiving that chance.

She clasped her hands together and lowered her head, paying respect to Lin Tian.

"Thank you very much for the chance you’ve given me, Master Lin. I promise I’ll study hard!"

"Of course. All of you have to study diligently. That way, in the future, you can help me in battle."

"This disciple obeys and is ready to meet Master Lin’s expectations," they said, speaking at the same time.

After giving them that, the three of them stepped away and said goodbye. However, Lin Tian called An Yue and asked her to order Yun Yun and Ji Xue to come. An Yue understood.

Not long after, Yun Yun and Ji Xue came according to Lin Tian’s order.

They stood on the hall carpet, clasped their hands together, and greeted Lin Tian.

"Greetings, Master Lin."

"Your cultivation bases are almost at Foundation Establishment. I’m assigning you to break through to Foundation Establishment in less than three months," Lin Tian replied.

Yun Yun smiled widely after Lin Tian assigned her together with Ji Xue. "Really?"

"Yes. I’ll provide pills to help your spiritual qi absorption. For now, it’d be better for you to focus on cultivating," Lin Tian replied.

Yun Yun and Ji Xue exchanged glances for a moment, then smiled. They nodded obediently, clasped their hands together, and paid respect.

They were clearly happy to receive a task like that, giving them a chance to catch up with An Yue and the others.

"This junior won’t disappoint you, Master Lin."

After receiving the new task, they stepped away together with happy hearts and left the sect’s main building.

Lin Tian had already told them their tasks, and now it was time for him to study the earth-grade techniques he hadn’t had the chance to learn.

He brought out the two technique scrolls and read them.

However, when Lin Tian was about to do so, the door of the sect’s main building was knocked softly from outside.

Someone stepped in, and unexpectedly, it was Wu Yue. Wearing the Lingxian Sect uniform, she stepped inside.

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and stored the technique scrolls again. The man knew the purpose of Wu Yue’s arrival.

"What is it, Wu Yue?"

"I’m here to collect your promise," Wu Yue replied.

I already expected this. I don’t know what to say to her.

"About the Lingxian Sect’s Secret Technique?" Lin Tian asked.

"Yes, what else would it be?"

Lin Tian fell silent for a moment. He could tell Wu Yue, but he was worried that the woman would leak it and tell everyone.

He was also worried that her hatred toward Lin Tian would begin to increase.

Right when he was pondering and thinking of the best solution for Wu Yue’s problem, a mission panel suddenly appeared, a conquest mission.

[2nd Conquest Mission:]

[Objective: Help Wu Yue learn the Lingxian Sect’s Secret Technique]

[Reward: -15 Hatred || Increased breakthrough momentum]

Lin Tian was truly in a dilemma. The conquest mission ordered him to help Wu Yue learn the Lingxian Sect’s Secret Technique.

He looked at the woman, her eyes sharp and full of ambition as if she wanted to know that technique.

In the end, he had no other choice.

"If you want to learn it, come when all the disciples have already rested," Lin Tian replied.

"Why? Why not now?" Wu Yue asked.

"The Lingxian Sect’s Secret Technique is very complicated and dangerous. I don’t want to endanger my disciples."

Wu Yue fell silent for a moment, then sighed and agreed, "Alright. I’ll come later."
