Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

After returning to his residence, Lin Yuan began to repair the "Nine Revolutions Refining Technique".

[Under Repair: Nine Revolutions Refining Technique (5/15)]

With the partial repair of the cultivation technique, a large amount of information instantly flooded into Lin Yuan's mind.

However, just as Lin Yuan was about to delve into the meaning, a few knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Yuan got up, walked over, and opened the door. "Deacon He?"

"Please come in."

With a smile on his face, Steward He followed Lin Yuan into the house.

Lin Yuan poured a cup of tea for Deacon He, who was sitting opposite him, and slowly said, "Deacon He, what brings you to see me at this time?"

Despite the question, Lin Yuan already knew the answer just by looking at Steward He's expression.

Steward He habitually picked up his teacup to take a few sips, but after only one sip, he put the teacup down with considerable disdain.

Such coarse tea is hardly palatable to him.

He decided to cut to the chase and said, "Lin Yuan, I've come here today to tell you some very good news."

Lin Yuan cooperated fully, a hint of joy and anticipation appearing on his face.

Seeing this, Steward He continued, "I have just informed the Tenth Elder about your repair of the glass lamp. The Tenth Elder, recognizing your merit in the repair, has granted you a promotion of one rank."

A promotion?

The guards of the Gong clan are divided into four ranks.

Lin Yuan is currently a second-class guard, which is considered a middle-level position among the servants.

The next level up would make you a first-class guard.

They belong to the upper-middle level among the servants.

Not only can they lead a certain number of subordinates, but they can also gain some decision-making power.

Of course, as a former emperor, Lin Yuan didn't think much of such power.

But he still thanked her repeatedly.

When Deacon He saw that Lin Yuan's expression did not change much upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

It's important to understand that while it may seem like there's only one level difference between a second-class guard and a first-class guard, ordinary people have to put in a lot of effort to achieve this.

Leaving aside the need to accumulate several years of experience, even the final assessment involves several rounds.

Very few people can pass on their first try, and as a result, several years pass in the blink of an eye.

Many people die without ever taking that first step forward.

But Lin Yuan, at such a young age, was able to take it all in stride.

He hadn't misjudged Lin Yuan after all; Steward He's admiration for Lin Yuan grew even stronger.

Then, with a smile on his lips, he said, "Don't thank me yet, I haven't finished."

At this point, Steward He paused, raised his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air, and Lin Yuan saw three green bottles appear in Steward He's hand.

Lin Yuan asked, "What is this?"

A hint of smugness appeared in Deacon He's eyes. "These are the three bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills bestowed upon you by the Tenth Elder."

"After taking it, it will greatly benefit one's cultivation. In the entire Gong Clan, only disciples are qualified to obtain this elixir to aid their cultivation."

"You little rascal, you've really struck gold this time."

Even he, a collateral disciple, had only ever received three bottles in total.

Lin Yuan was able to get three bottles at once. Thinking of this, Steward He was trying hard to suppress his envy when he handed Lin Yuan the elixir.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan genuinely felt a sense of pleasure.

His most important task right now is to become stronger.

These spiritual elixirs that can aid his cultivation are of paramount importance.

However, Lin Yuan only managed to retrieve two bottles of pills from Steward He.

Seeing this, Steward He feigned ignorance and asked, "Lin Yuan, what do you mean by this?"
