79: By your grace! Three supreme treasures!

The summit of Tianshan Peak was a world of ice and snow; goose-feather snowflakes drifted through the sky, and a biting, cold wind chilled one to the bone.

At this moment, however, on a small path connecting the summit to the foot of the mountain, two figures were leaping across the cold, steep trail like ghosts.

In just a few breaths, they had covered a distance of over several hundred meters and arrived at the summit.

Finally, they landed in front of a small, purplish-brown wooden hut on the peak.

Knock, knock, knock!

In front of the wooden hut, Wang Yu lightly tapped his fingers against the door, knocking, and then spoke with a respectful expression.

"Pavilion Master, Wang Yu, a martial arts teacher of Tianshan Pavilion, seeks an audience along with Tianshan Pavilion Disciple Lin Yi."

"Let Lin Yi enter alone."

As soon as Wang Yu finished speaking, an indifferent voice rang out from within the purplish-brown wooden hut, echoing through the void.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly clear, actually managing to drown out the endless howling of the surrounding astral winds for a moment; it was truly terrifying.

"Yes!"

Wang Yu nodded slightly, turned to withdraw, and signaled with his eyes for Lin Yi to step forward.

Seeing this, Lin Yi took a deep breath, then moved his feet forward and pushed open the door.

Creak!

The sound of wood rubbing against wood rang in his ears.

In the next moment, Lin Yi saw a figure sitting cross-legged on a simple prayer mat, back turned to the outside world, with white robes and black hair.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

Lin Yi bowed respectfully with his hands cupped.

"Mm."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the black-haired figure nodded slightly and slowly turned around.

It was only then that Lin Yi saw the man's true face clearly.

This was a man who looked to be about forty years old, with a thin face and an elegant appearance, sporting a five-strand long beard under his chin.

At this moment, his gaze was gentle, and a trace of a smile touched his lips as he looked at Lin Yi.

At first glance, he didn't look like a Xiantian Golden Core Realm Xiantian Grandmaster ranked fifteenth on the Earth Rankings; instead, he looked like an ordinary teacher from a village private school.

"Little fellow, so you are Lin Yi."

The white-robed middle-aged man spoke with a light chuckle.

"Yes! Pavilion Master!"

Lin Yi said.

"Not bad!"

The white-robed man smiled slightly and nodded.

"To enter the five-hundred-meter mark before the willpower stone pillar upon joining Tianshan Pavilion—in terms of willpower talent, even in the last hundred years of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, only Jiang Hanhan could surpass you. Not bad! Truly not bad!"

"As for the purpose of my meeting with you, you have likely guessed it. Your performance at the willpower stone pillar was outstanding, and our Heavenly Mountain Sect has never been stingy toward geniuses."

"Therefore, a few days ago, after some discussion with the Sect Master, I decided to temporarily bestow three treasures upon you to nurture you."

"The first is twenty thousand tianshan coins!"

After speaking, the white-robed man waved his hand.

In the next moment, a small green cloth bag suddenly flew out of his sleeve and quickly flew toward Lin Yi.

Clack!

With a light sound, Lin Yi reached out and caught it. Looking down into the bag, he saw gold coins about the size of copper coins. The front was engraved with the four characters 'Tianshan, One Hundred,' while the back featured the image of an elderly man with an immortal's air holding a sword.

"So these are tianshan coins! And twenty thousand of them!"

Looking at the golden coins in the bag, Lin Yi's eyes were full of joy.

Twenty thousand tianshan coins—that was equivalent to two million taels of silver!

Two million taels of silver was enough for him to evolve four talents.

If he could give birth to two willpower-type talents among those four, and then fuse them with his previous 'Will Growth' talent, combined with the 'Heart Like Pure Ice' talent, he would truly take off.

Lin Yi's heart was racing with excitement.

On the other side, the white-robed man waved his hand again, throwing a black pill bottle toward Lin Yi.

"The second item is a First Rank Medicinal Pill—the wuxin pill!"

"The wuxin pill!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi quickly caught the pill bottle and pulled out the stopper. When he saw a pill about the size of a longan inside, emitting a faint green light, his eyes immediately lit up.

The wuxin pill—this was a peerless Divine Pill worth three to four million taels of silver that could grant a person an 'Epiphany' for a Breakthrough, and it was often unavailable even if one had the money.

Back then, the reason 'Six-Armed Nezha' Lu Chu kidnapped Lin Yi's parents was to force him to gather money so Lu Chu could have a chance to bid for a wuxin pill at an auction.

However, despite all his schemes, he ultimately failed due to Jiang Hanhan's intervention.

But now, to think that Lu Chu had failed to get the wuxin pill by any means necessary, while Lin Yi had obtained it so easily.

If Lu Chu found out about this, he would probably be so jealous he'd die of rage on the spot!

Lin Yi felt a secret sense of satisfaction, and then he waited for the Pavilion Master of Tianshan's third treasure.

At this moment, the leisurely voice rang in Lin Yi's ears once more.

"The third item is a copy of the Secret Manual Insights for the Innate Low Grade martial art, the 'Star River Myriad Forms Saber'!"

With those words, the white-robed man waved his hand again, tossing out a thin, green Secret Manual.

"Eh? This Secret Manual? Why is it so thin?"

Reaching out to take the manual and seeing the thin booklet that seemed to have only a dozen or so pages, Lin Yi was instantly startled.

One must know that for martial arts manuals, generally, the higher the rank, the more complex they were.

For instance, the Fourth Grade Martial Art 'Full Moon Star Saber' he had studied before was already very thick, exceeding a thousand pages.

As for the First Rank martial art 'Sun Moon Thunder Blade' he learned later, the number of pages was even more staggering, reaching four or five thousand.

It was only because Lin Yi was a Martial Artist with a powerful Divine Soul and a good memory that he could easily memorize them in a short time; otherwise, an ordinary person would likely take a year or half a year just to memorize those manuals.

And now, this Innate Low Grade martial art, which by its name should be a technique only a powerhouse in the Innate True Essence Realm could create, had only these few thin pages. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed abnormal!

"Secret Manual Insights are different from ordinary martial arts manuals."

As if seeing through Lin Yi's confusion, the Pavilion Master of Tianshan Pavilion spoke with a faint smile from his prayer mat.

"Ordinary martial arts manuals are generally original copies written casually by Martial Artists, or even just rubbings made directly from the originals."

"But Secret Manual Insights can only be personally written by an Innate Martial Artist who expends infinite heart's blood and continuously condenses their own Divine Soul Concept!"

"Each copy of Innate-level Secret Manual Insights has as few as several pages, and at most only a few dozen pages."

"However, these few dozen pages of the manual contain tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of variations of an Innate martial art!"

"Once you take this 'Star River Myriad Forms Saber' Secret Manual Insights back, just open the manual and immerse your mind in it, and the Innate Concept left on the manual will naturally guide you to learn this saber technique."

"With the guidance of the Concept, not only will your speed in learning the martial art be faster, but you can even slightly temper your willpower during the learning process."

"Although the effect of tempering willpower is far inferior to a martial emperors relic like the willpower stone pillar, it is exceptionally gentle. Even in your current state where your Divine Soul willpower is damaged, you can still temper it. It can be considered a decent substitute."

"What! It increases the speed of practicing martial arts! And it can temper willpower! These Secret Manual Insights are so powerful!"

Hearing the Pavilion Master's explanation, Lin Yi was deeply shocked.

Increasing the speed of martial arts practice and tempering willpower—both of these required powerful Medicinal Pills or even a martial emperors relic like the willpower stone pillar for assistance.

But now, this small Secret Manual Insights could actually possess both of these effects at once. Although its effects were far inferior to the wuxin pill and the willpower stone pillar, it was lasting and convenient.

As such, the value of this Secret Manual Insights was simply unimaginable! One probably couldn't even buy it for ten million taels of silver!

"Heavens! Who said the Heavenly Mountain Sect hasn't been generous since the Long Tianhong incident!"

Holding the three treasures in his hands, Lin Yi felt as if his hands had become incredibly hot.

"Three treasures, worth over fifteen million taels of silver."

"If this investment were to be made by an individual Martial Artist, even a First-Rank Martial Artist would probably go bankrupt instantly!"

"And now the Heavenly Mountain Sect has thrown it all at a lowly Fifth-rank Martial Artist like me in one go. I can only say they truly deserve to be a top-tier power in the Nine Provinces! They are indeed grand!"

Lin Yi was incredibly excited and immediately bowed to the Pavilion Master of Tianshan Pavilion again with cupped hands.

"Disciple Lin Yi thanks the Pavilion Master! Thank you, Sect, for the bestowal!"

"Mm, you may go!"

The Pavilion Master of Tianshan smiled upon seeing this and gave a light wave of his hand.

In the next instant, Lin Yi felt an incredibly gentle yet overwhelmingly irresistible force wrap around his body, pushing him out of the wooden hut without any ability to resist.
