"This is all just what a disciple should do." Xu Wendong wore a humble smile, but there was an imperceptible hint of pride in his eyes.

Li Jiayin hurriedly spoke to Li Lingtian, "Father, there is a giant python lurking on Lake Heart Island. Back then, it was Lin, who fearlessly ventured onto the island to gather herbs."

"And there seems to be some sort of restriction over there. For the sake of collecting the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass, Lin’s hand..." At this point, both of their gazes involuntarily turned towards Xu Wendong’s palm.

Although he had applied a restorative Divine Medicine, Xu Wendong’s palms still bore the burn marks from before.

Those marks were striking, each scar as if narrating the hardship he endured at that time.

Li Lingtian felt deeply moved, sighed gently, stood up, and slowly walked over to Xu Wendong.

He extended his large hand, gently patted Xu Wendong’s shoulder, his eyes full of emotion and relief, "Your dedication is engraved in my heart as your master."

Li Jiayin also looked at Xu Wendong with a sincere smile, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Her voice was gentle, her smile warm, and her eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

Seeing both of them so moved, Xu Wendong was secretly pleased.

Actually.

If he weren’t afraid of exposing his identity, he might have easily cured Li Lingtian with just a flick of his finger.

The reason for going to such great lengths was to conceal his identity.

Unexpectedly, this effort successfully won over Li Jiayin’s heart and, along the way, earned Li Lingtian’s gratitude.

"Father, just now at the Treasure Hall, Wu Tianxiong and my Senior Brother had a confrontation..." Li Jiayin recalled the incident, and immediately recounted the matter of Wu Tianxiong’s and Xu Wendong’s arranged battle at the selection tournament.

Hearing this, Li Lingtian’s face slightly darkened, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, "Elder Brother Gu lost to me years ago, and he holds great hostility towards our lineage."

"And now, because of me, Wu Tianxiong and Lin Mo have clashed, it is my responsibility."

"But don’t worry, Wu Tianxiong is merely at the Fourth Level of Tongyou Realm. Although Lin Mo started late, with my training he certainly won’t lose to Wu Tianxiong."

Seeing this scene, Xu Wendong smiled slightly.

His eyes sparkled with expectation, and he was genuinely curious about what kind of training Li Lingtian referred to...

"Lin Mo." Li Lingtian’s voice rang again.

"I am here, Master." Xu Wendong hastily bowed, his face full of respect.

Only to see Li Lingtian extend his hand, a brilliant glow flashed by, and then in his hand appeared a Jade Pendant.

The Jade Pendant was crystal-clear, exuding a strong sense of Yin Energy, as if it were a mysterious treasure, drawing one’s eyes to take a second look.

This Yin Energy was actually refined, meaning that the Yin Energy here was purer and could be directly absorbed and integrated into the Dantian for use.

"This is the Unparalleled Warm Jade; today, our sect grants it to you." Li Lingtian finished speaking, his face full of smiles, his eyes full of expectations of Xu Wendong.

Seeing this, Li Jiayin’s eyes revealed an incredulous look, she cautiously asked, "Father, wouldn’t this be too precious?"

Xu Wendong looked at the Unparalleled Warm Jade handed over by Li Lingtian, his eyes full of confusion, having no idea what this seemingly ordinary Jade Pendant represented.

This item is not a common Treasure; it lacks complex grade distinctions and is purely a Spiritual Treasure born from heaven and earth.

The Unparalleled Warm Jade continuously absorbs the surrounding Yin Energy, and using its mystical power, refines the absorbed Yin Energy, eventually passing this pure energy to its bearer.

This means that even if the bearer does not actively engage in cultivation, as long as they have the Unparalleled Warm Jade with them, they can constantly obtain the refined power of Yin Qi, as if always aided by an invisible cultivation mentor.

However, this is far from the most unique aspect of the Unparalleled Warm Jade.

In the ancient and glorious history of the Heavenly Nether Sect, it was once the possession of the founding ancestor.

From then on, an unwritten yet crucial tradition was established.

Anyone possessing this item within the Heavenly Nether Sect was effectively considered to possess the lineage and inheritance of the Heavenly Nether Sect Sect Master.

Every Sect Master of the Heavenly Nether Sect, during their tenure, would control this Unparalleled Warm Jade, as it had become a symbol of the Sect Master’s status and authority.

At this moment.

In handing the Unparalleled Warm Jade to Xu Wendong, Li Lingtian was, in fact, expressing his deep recognition of Xu Wendong and his willingness to entrust the profound lineage of the Heavenly Nether Sect to him.

Li Lingtian’s mouth curved slightly, revealing a subtle and meaningful smile, his gaze fixed on Xu Wendong, eyes like a deep pool of water, exuding a penetrating insight.

Only Li Lingtian himself knew the astonishing power contained within the medicinal powder he just consumed.

That powder could never have been refined by ordinary means!

To his keen perception, it was clearly a complete, top-quality Elixir ground meticulously into powder, which explains the miraculous effect it had.

He pondered quietly, if these medicinal powders were reformed into a pill, they would undoubtedly be a Fifth-grade Elixir capable of astounding the world!

Fifth-grade Elixirs are exceedingly rare in this world, and once they appear, they are sure to stir up a storm and incite fervent competition among various forces.

And one who can refine Fifth-grade Elixirs is truly precious, a greatly revered Fifth-grade Alchemist!

Although Xu Wendong claimed he couldn’t refine Elixirs and could only grind medicinal powders, Li Lingtian, with years of experience and sharp insight, had already deciphered Xu Wendong’s intentions.

He concluded that Xu Wendong was indeed afraid of exposing his identity, hence adopting this roundabout strategy of grinding the Elixir into powder.

This hypothesis no doubt unveiled an astonishing truth.

Xu Wendong was a Fifth-grade Alchemist with remarkable talents and hidden depths!

Such an exceptional talent would surely be more than capable of handling the role of the Heavenly Nether Sect’s Sect Master, wouldn’t they?

Besides, Xu Wendong even took risks, going to great lengths to procure the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass for him, this concern deeply touched Li Lingtian’s heart.

"Father!" Li Jiayin couldn’t help but speak up, hoping to persuade her father to reconsider this significant decision.

However.

Li Lingtian gently waved his hand, his expression firm, his tone undeniable, "My decision is made, no need to persuade." With that, he formally handed the Unparalleled Warm Jade into Xu Wendong’s hands.

This sudden development left Xu Wendong’s mind in a whirl.

Confused, he looked at the Jade Pendant in his hand, thinking it was merely an ordinary piece of jade.

With neither a fancy appearance nor labeled grades, he couldn’t fathom why everyone valued it so much.

"Lin Mo... is that your real name?" Li Lingtian suddenly spoke, his eyes bearing a smile full of subtle meaning.
