Subsequently, in Shen Hao Lin’s memory scene, a colorful light appeared from afar, indicating the emergence of a cave mansion.
Lin Yi also started packing, ready to leave, leaving some food for the green giant python. However, the python blocked his way and picked seven spirit grasses from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden to give to Lin Yi.
Upon leaving the Giant Spirit Tree and entering deeper into the secret realm, the scene abruptly ended. It seemed that when he reached the surroundings of the cave mansion, this part of the memory was erased.
“It seems the truth is clear now, Brother Wan Jun, do you have anything else to say?” Drunken Immortal chuckled.
Just then, a flash of fire transformed into a flame lion, emanating intense heat and radiating an aura of awe-inspiring majesty.
However, Lin Yi didn’t panic at all, as he had already donned the title of [Junior Dung Cleaner].
The flame lion slowly approached Lin Yi, scrutinizing him intently, looking somewhat puzzled. Then, it returned to Divine Fire Zen Ren’s side, relaying some information.
Divine Fire Zen Ren immediately laughed, “It seems there is truth in this. My Flame Lion just transferred information, saying it feels a sense of familiarity with this lad.”
Then, he turned his gaze towards Wan Jun Zen Ren, “Mr. Wan, time to apologize.”
Wan Jun Zen Ren’s face turned dark. He turned to Lin Yi and said, “Lin Yi, I indeed misjudged you earlier. I apologize.”
Lin Yi quickly return a salute, “You are too serious, Real Person. It is indeed unusual for me to get precious spirit grass from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. Your suspicions were only natural, considering the well-being of our sect.”
He didn’t wholly accept Wan Jun Zen Ren’s apology just because he had the backing of Gold Sword Zen Ren. As the saying goes, less is more.
Even if it slightly ruins his image in front of Gold Sword Zen Ren, it’s always better than facing future troubles with Wan Jun Zen Ren.
His current power level at Foundation Establishment Stage makes it easy for him to kill a cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Level, and a Golden Core Real Person can easily kill a Foundation establishment cultivator as if squashing an ant.
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Wan Jun Zen Ren’s face eased slightly. He waved his hand and said, “I’m a bit tired. I’ll be leaving first.” After finishing his words, he left Liu Yun Hall.
The Golden Core Real Persons present did not look down upon Lin Yi due to his previous words. Instead, they felt that this disciple knew when to advance and when to retreat, which is crucial in the world of cultivation.
Otherwise, accepting Wan Jun Zen Ren’s apology so nonchalantly, even with the backing of Gold Sword Zen Ren, could potentially leave trouble for the future.
Green Jade Zen Ren looked at Lin Yi and calmly said, “Lin Yi, you’ve obtained seven spirit grasses. According to the rules of the sect, you can choose two. However, due to the incidents just now, we’ll compensate you with one. You can keep any three spirit grasses.”
Lin Yi did not refuse this compensation. He thanked them, “Thank you, Sect
Master. I choose two Sky Herbs and one Longevity Grass.”
Lin Yi’s choice made all the Golden Core Real Persons present laugh. This kid really was considering Gold Sword Zen Ren, wanting to take away both Sky Herbs.
According to the sect’s rules, each disciple can keep one third of their harvests from the secret realm.
Another third will be divided among the disciples of the Golden Core Peak where the disciple belongs.
The last third will be added to the sect’s treasury.
If Lin Yi did not choose the Sky Herb, Gold Sword Zen Ren would naturally get a share, but there is no way he could get two.
Green Jade Zen Ren hesitated not at all, smiling as he said, “Good, you can take them for yourself. The remaining four spirit grasses will be used to calculate your merits according to their values.”
Lin Yi thanked them again, closed the jade box containing the Sky Herbs and Longevity Grass, and put it into his storage bag.
Green Jade Zen Ren waved his hand and took the remaining four jade boxes, then he asked, “Lin Yi, did you kill any demon cultivators in the wood element region of the secret realm? Do you have any vague memories about entering a cave mansion?”
Lin Yi saluted and shook his head, “In response to Sect Master, I’ve been avoiding danger and acting carefully in the wood element region, which allowed me to safely reach the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. I have not killed any demon cultivators.”
“As for the memory of the cave mansion, I also have absolutely no recollection. I must have failed the test. I’m sorry to disappoint.”
He could not possibly mention that he nearly wiped out all of the Xuan Yin Sect cultivators. That would be too shocking.
Green Jade Zen Ren softly chuckled. “You getting seven precious grasses from the Giant Spirit Tree has already exceeded our expectations. Alright, you can leave now. When everyone’s harvests are done being checked, each teacher will lead you back to the peaks.”
“Yes, I take my leave.” Lin Yi saluted towards the Golden Core Real Persons and slowly left Liu Yun Hall.
Next, no other disciples were called in for a while, until Shen Hao Lin emerged from the hall giving Lin Yi a wink.
Afterwards, other disciples were called into Liu Yun Hall one by one to inventory their harvests from the secret realm.
An hour later, when the last disciple walked out of Liu Yun Hall — signaling the end of the inventory of this exploratory trip into the secret realm, the Golden Core Real Persons quickly took their leave, transforming into streaks of light disappearing across the horizon.
Gold Sword Zen Ren led Lin Yi and the three other disciples away from Liu Yun Peak, heading towards Golden Sword Peak. Five disciples set off on this venture and four returned – they could be considered rather fortunate.
Although Gold Sword Zen Ren did not call for a welcoming party, many disciples had gathered on the Golden Sword Peak. When they caught sight of the Golden Sword Flying, they broke into enthusiastic applause..
