Perhaps later, due to being constantly occupied with alchemy and cultivation, he didn’t have time to tend to the medicinal field and seldom visited this cave mansion.
Generally, Direct Disciples who have reached Foundation Establishment would have their own separate cave mansion on the Golden Sword Peak. The mountain cave mansion named after them then became ornamental, holding only symbolic significance.
“No harm done. When she returns, I will explain it personally,” Zhou Yun Feng said with a laugh. If Han Ling Shu often resided in this cave mansion, he naturally wouldn’t mention it.
Now that it had been deserted for quite some time, only the medicinal field was tended to, it was a waste to leave it empty.
“As long as Senior Brother Zhou takes care of it, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Su Qi Hong heaved a sigh of relief. With Zhou Yun Fengs words, it wasn’t his problem anymore.
All the Direct Disciples greatly admired Zhou Yun Feng, the Elder Brother of the Golden Sword, including Han Ling Shu. She was less than ten years old when she first joined the Golden Sword Door with her top-grade spiritual roots and was personally mentored by Zhou Yun Feng.
Let alone vacating the cave mansion of Jin Xiu Peak, it would probably take just one word to vacate even his cave mansion on Golden Sword Peak. This was the status Zhou Yun Feng held within the Golden Sword lineage.
He then pointed at a location on Jin Xiu Peak and said, “Junior Brother Lin, you can move into Elder Sister Han Ling Shu’s cave mansion. It is located halfway up Jin Xiu Peak and the environment is excellent, with about eight acres of medium-grade medicinal fields. I will notify Pill Hall.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Su.” Lin Yi quickly bowed with his hands clasped. Han Ling Shu was the tenth disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren whereas the one who named Jin Qiao Peak, where he previously stayed, was the fifteenth disciple, named Yu Wen Qiao.
After Yu Wen Qiao, the two disciples Gold Sword Zen Ren accepted were those two direct disciples with supreme-grade spiritual roots. They successfully reached the Foundation Building stage and had their own mountains named after them.
And before him, the two disciples with top-grade spiritual roots had not yet reached Foundation Building stage, among whom was Xie Jing Xing.
Therefore, Jin Xiu Peak was slightly closer than Jin Qiao Peak. He too looked forward to his outward cultivation reaching Foundation Building stage, owning a mountain named after him.
“It’s a trivial matter, not worth mentioning,” Zhou Yun Feng said with a wave of his hand. Compared to the chance of rebirth brought about by Lin Yi, this really was an insignificant matter.
The Sky Herb could only be found in the Dan God Secret Realm. If he didn’t get it this time, he would have to wait another twenty years. Given his age now, he wouldn’t be able to endure the opening of the secret realm much longer.
“Junior Brother Lin, you’re too courteous. Please wait here for a moment while I go look for the token in the storage of the Affairs Hall,” Su Qi Hong said with a laugh. Usually, there would be spare tokens for all cave mansions so that in case a disciple experiences an emergency during closed-door cultivation, they can use the spare token to enter swiftly.
“Senior Brother, you go ahead with your task, I can wait here,” Lin Yi said with a bow towards Zhou Yun Feng as he watched Su Qi Hong leave.
Zhou Yun Feng nodded lightly, patted Lin Yi t s shoulder, and said: “Junior Brother, if there is any issue, use the sound transmission talisman to contact me. Once you reach the Foundation Building stage, I have a gift for you.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother. I will practice diligently,” Lin Yi thanked him. From now on, he could cultivate in the Golden Sword lineage more peacefully.
Not long after Zhou Yun Feng left, Su Qi Hong returned from the Affairs Hall with a Cave Mansion Token, smiling as he handed it over to Lin Yi, “Junior Brother Lin, this is the token for Jin Xiu Peak. You can use it to enter the cave mansion on Jin Xiu Peak and activate the formation.”
Lin Yi received the token with both hands and thanked him, “Thank you,
Brother Su. But Han Ling Shu must have lived in this cave mansion of Jin Xiu
Peak, there must be some of her clothes and other personal items there.” He then furrowed his brow and said, “It doesn’t feel right for me, being a male disciple, to go in and tidy up. Could Brother please assign a female disciple to accompany me.”
Su Qi Hong slapped his forehead, agreeing, “What Junior Brother Lin said is reasonable, I almost forgot about that. I will get a female disciple from the Affairs Hall to go with you and keep the Image Recording Stone active throughout.”
Following that, Lin Yi and a female cultivator from the Affairs Hall went to Jin Xiu Peak together. Upon reaching halfway up the mountain, they saw a place with breathtaking scenery. A waterfall cascaded from above, forming a stream flowing through there, surrounded by lush vegetation, imbued with a mystical aura.
In some of the surrounding medium-grade medicinal fields, a variety of spirit grass, enough to satisfy Foundation Building cultivators, were being cultivated.
The token possessed by the Pill Hall grants only access to the peripheral medicinal fields, but his token covers the entirety of the cave mansion.
Lin Yi channeled spiritual power into the token and entered the boundary of the cave mansion. He was immediately greeted with a rich concentration of spiritual energy and a breathtaking view that refreshed his spirit.
At the rear of the medicinal fields laid a courtyard, much larger than his residence at Jin Qiao Peak. Once the token was activated, it felt like a waterside hometown in Huaxia. A waterfall formed a stream, with a branch flowing through the courtyard.
In the courtyard stream, some lotus flowers were planted, and there were also fish swimming around. Other parts of the land were also planted with various flowers and bamboo. The thick spiritual energy here allowed the plants to thrive even without any care.
This was indeed a female cultivator’s cave mansion, more exquisite than their male counterparts.
“Sister Li, I will trouble you.” Lin Yi bowed a courtesy fist towards the middle-aged woman beside him, an elder from the Affairs Hall named Li Cai Hua, a Foundation Building cultivator. However, she was not taken as a direct disciple by Gold Sword Zen Ren.
Su Qi Hong felt that it was a direct disciple’s cave mansion of Gold Sword Zen Ren, so it should be highly respected, and not just anyone could be assigned to sort it out. Thus, he arranged for a female Elder.
“Junior Brother Lin, no need to be so polite. Rest here for a while, I will return soon.” Li Cai Hua smiled. Even though the Lin Yi in front of her only had a Qi Refining Eighth Stage cultivation level, she dared not look down on him because of his status as a direct disciple.
Even with lower-grade spiritual roots, Gold Sword Zen Ren could pile resources that would enable him to reach Foundation Building stage. She was there when Gold Sword Zen Ren took his disciples in the Golden Sword Hall.
The storage bag given by Gold Sword Zen Ren was filled with resources that were more than enough for someone to complete Qi Refinement, and he even gave five Foundation Building Pills at a time. It was so enviable.
When she was building her foundation, she only prepared two Foundation Building Pills.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Li Cai Hua returned to the courtyard, smiling, “Junior Brother Lin, I have removed all items related to Sister Han
Ling Shu from the cave mansion. You can move in without any concerns now.”
“Thank you, Sister. I forgot to ask Brother Su at Golden Sword Peak previously, how many merits are required to rent this cave mansion for a year.” Lin Yi offered a courtesy fist and bow before opening his mouth to reveal his doubt.
Li Cai Hua shook her head and laughed, explaining, “Junior Brother Su was careless and did not explain to you. As you are a direct disciple, you don’t need any merits to choose a cave mansion. Moreover, this rule also applies to the medium-sized medicinal field, and you don’t need to complete any tasks at the Merit Hall.’
“Thank you, Sister, for resolving my doubts. Now, I can cultivate at ease.” Lin Yi thanked her again, secretly sighing in his heart that the benefits of being a direct disciple were indeed abundant.
After seeing Li Cai Hua out of the cave mansion, Lin Yi entered the courtyard and found that all items related to the female cultivator had been removed. He tidied it up a little and then left Jin Xiu Peak, riding his Flying Boat towards the Jin Qiao Peak cave mansion.
In the Jin Qiao Peak cave mansion, he packed everything into his storage bag. At the same time, he also filled up the Thunder Pool that he had dug out for his Five Thunder Spells cultivation.
Zhi Ling looked at the cave mansion with a somewhat reluctant gaze, after all, it had lived here for seven years.
“Zhi Ling, let’s go. In our new home, you will like it even more,” Lin Yi stroked its head and said. However, before leaving, he also turned back for one last glance.
In this cave mansion, he experienced the change from an Outer Sect Spirit Farmer to an Inner Sect Disciple, and he also advanced his cultivation from Qi Refinement to Foundation Building.
After arriving at the cave mansion in Jin Xiu Peak, seeing the beautiful courtyard and fish swimming in the stream, Zhi Ling instantly became cheerful and couldn’t help running around in the courtyard.
From time to time, it jumped onto the lotus leaves in the stream to play with the fish.
Seeing this scene, a smile also appeared on Lin Yi!s face. He estimated that he would stay in this cave mansion for a longer time compared to the one at Jin Qiao Peak.
After all, the cultivation time from Foundation Building to Golden Core would be longer, and the difficulty of breakthrough would also increase. Moreover, his first job was to complete the test of the Dan God Secret Realm..
