Lin Mo was in a state of shock and confusion. Was I set up? Lin Xiyue's special student.

Lin Mo naturally had no way of knowing about the subsequent conversation between Sikong Yang and Su Qinghan.

Otherwise, he would have complained on the spot about how melodramatic it was.

At this moment, he was sitting in his small room, looking at the pile of things Sikong Yang had forced upon him, and the more he looked, the more astonished he became.

First of all, setting everything else aside, the ancient Storage Ring on his finger alone made his scalp tingle.

This was because when he had just probed the ring with his Divine Sense, he had been thoroughly startled by the vast and boundless space within it.

“Good heavens, the space inside this ring could probably fit two or three small mountains, couldn’t it?”

Yes, it was that exaggerated.

One must know that the Storage Pouch uniformly issued by the Sect to Inner Sect Disciples had an internal space of only fifty to sixty cubic meters.

As for how Lin Mo knew this?

Of course, on his way back, he had made a detour to the Internal Affairs Hall, claimed the Inner Sect Disciple welfare benefits that rightfully belonged to him, and then personally made a comparison.

As a result of this comparison, he discovered that the spatial difference between his Storage Ring and that pitiful Storage Pouch, when placed together, was like the difference between a villa and a dog kennel.

“Is the storage space of all Storage Rings this large?”

“Or is it just that this one, given by my cheap Revered Master, is of a particularly High Rank?”

Lin Mo didn’t understand.

He had previously been just a low-level Utility Disciple, whose entire belongings could fit into one satchel; he had never come into contact with high-end items like Storage Rings, so he naturally didn’t understand the intricacies.

However, with the Storage Pouch as a reference, he could basically guess that the Rank of the ring on his hand was definitely not Low Grade.

Yet, Sikong Yang had given it to him so casually, without even batting an eye.

This truly baffled him.

“Forget it, I can’t figure it out.”

“Since it’s Revered Master’s kind intention, I’ll just use it with a clear conscience.”

If he couldn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t dwell on it. Lin Mo was never one to make things difficult for himself.

Immediately, with a thought, three Magic Treasures emitting faint fluctuations appeared before his eyes out of thin air.

A green-edged longsword, a pitch-black longbow, and a silver-white long spear.

“They all look extraordinary, but I don’t know what Rank they are.”

Lin Mo’s knowledge was limited, and he couldn’t make heads or tails of these three Magic Treasures.

But it didn’t matter; by performing a blood-bond ritual, the information about the Magic Treasures would naturally become known.

So, Lin Mo quickly bonded with the three Magic Treasures one by one.

And then, he was shocked.

“Holy crap!”

“Is this for real?!”

“Two High Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and one Low Grade Magic Treasure?!”

Lin Mo was completely stunned.

Although his knowledge was shallow, he had heard from some rumors in the Sect that ordinary Golden Core Realm Immortal Masters mostly used High Grade Spiritual Artifacts as their Magic Treasures.

And “Magic Treasure” of this Rank was something that only old monsters of the Nascent Soul Realm could possess!

So what was going on with him?

Why could his cheap Revered Master casually take out such Heaven-Defying items and give them to him?

And give him three at once?

“This is too outrageous. Revered Master, at most, is in the Golden Core Realm, right?”

“How can he be so wealthy?”

“Also, isn’t he almost emptying his family’s savings? Is he not going to live his own life?”

Lin Mo became increasingly confused; he always felt that something was amiss.

Even if Sikong Yang believed him to be a unique Physique, one in a million, with infinite potential, there was no need to curry favor with him so extremely, was there?

This investment was too much of a gamble.

“Something’s wrong; unusual events always hide something sinister. I haven’t been set up, have I?”

“It seems I need to find an opportunity to subtly probe this cheap Revered Master of mine.”

Lin Mo’s expression subtly turned grave.

He felt that Sikong Yang’s actions probably had other deeper meanings.

These items now felt a bit too hot to handle.

He wouldn’t feel at ease using them until he understood Sikong Yang’s true intentions.

So, Lin Mo temporarily put all these Magic Treasures back into his Storage Ring.

He decided that before he clarified things with Sikong Yang, it would be better to seal away these things that exceeded his current understanding.

Afterward, he began to study the main matter.

He took out the basic Alchemy texts given by Su Qinghan from the ring and began the familiar “translation” project.

Soon, simplified Chinese versions of introductory Alchemy books were freshly produced.

“Uh… this ‘Illustrated Guide to a Hundred Spiritual Plants, Elementary Explanation’ can be set aside.”

“Anyway, it’s impossible for the Spiritual Plants recorded in it to grow on the land of Great Xia.”

After casually tossing this temporarily unneeded book back into his Storage Ring, Lin Mo eagerly began to contact Lin Xiyue… Blue Star, Great Xia.

In a highly confidential training room within an underground base.

Lin Xiyue stood with her hands on her hips, sternly supervising the six special trainees on the field.

“Oh no, Third Great-Grandfather, that’s wrong, wrong!”

“Raise your right arm up thirty degrees… I’m not asking you to dance!”

“Ah, yes, yes, just like that, hold it, don’t move!”

“Fourth Elder, Fourth Elder?”

“Why are you squinting?”

“You better not doze off!”

“Otherwise, if your posture is wrong and you get Qi deviation, a broken bone will be agonizing!”

“And Dad and Mom, don’t whisper and slack off!”

“Do you still want to become true Cultivators sooner?”

“Look at Great Grandfather and Second Great-Grandfather; their postures are so standard, learn from them!”

Lin Guohui, who was struggling to maintain a strange Body Tempering posture, watched his daughter directing everything from above, feeling a surge of tears he couldn’t shed.

Daughter, you really speak from a place of comfort!

The postures of this Body Tempering technique were one more bizarre than the last, and how could their old bones achieve them so easily?

Indeed, when the four Elders, whose combined age was nearly three hundred, first started practicing, they almost collectively collapsed on the spot due to overly large movements.

If Lin Xiyue hadn’t been quick-witted and promptly infused several strands of Spiritual Qi into their bodies to stabilize their Qi and blood, these four pillars of the nation might have died in the line of duty!

“Daughter…”

“Our Physiques can’t compare to those young soldier kings outside who are as strong as calves.”

“It’s really hard to get it right in such a short time!”

“Also, I see that Fourth Elder’s face has turned pale; please let him rest for a bit!”

Chen Mei also couldn’t hold on much longer and couldn’t help but plead with her daughter.

“Oh, Mom, don’t make excuses.”

“You’re still far from your physical limits!”

“With me watching here, absolutely nothing will go wrong.”

“Fourth Elder is just having an upward rush of Qi and blood, making him a bit lightheaded and sleepy, it’s nothing serious.”

Lin Xiyue waved her hand, and her words made the six people below smile bitterly again.

However, they also knew that Lin Xiyue was doing it for their own good.

In fact, given their physical condition, it would normally be very difficult, if not almost impossible, for them to successfully enter the Body Tempering Realm in a short period.

But over the past month, Lin Xiyue had taken time every day to specially care for them, nourishing their bodies with her precious Spiritual Qi and improving their Physiques, which gave them the possibility of stepping into the threshold of cultivation.

Therefore, including the Grand Elder, all six of them did not want to disappoint Lin Xiyue’s expectations.

Moreover, if they could truly enter the Body Tempering Realm, the benefits for them would be immeasurable.

Soon, an hour passed, and the six people present were still gritting their teeth and persevering.

Just then, Lin Xiyue suddenly paused and immediately called a halt to their practice.

“Oh, my brother suddenly contacted me!”

“He said he has something important.”

“Then everyone, let’s stop here for today. I’m going to discuss things with my brother.”

Hearing Lin Xiyue say this, the Grand Elder, who was almost fainting from exhaustion, perked up and quickly spoke.

“Xiyue, you go quickly, important matters come first!”

Lin Xiyue nodded, and her figure flickered, disappearing from the spot and going to her private room.

She was preparing to ask Lin Mo what important matters he had to tell her.
