I offered sacrifices to the gods

The news that Lin Mo had successfully ignited his life flame and advanced to the Candle Illumination Realm quickly spread throughout the Golden Sun Temple.

If his status as a direct disciple was somewhat undeserved in the past, it is now absolutely right.

Soon, congratulatory voices came from outside the cave.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin, on successfully igniting your life force!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Lin, on entering the Candle Illumination Realm."

Hearing the congratulations, Lin Mo smiled self-deprecatingly and then slowly walked out of the cave.

Outside his cave dwelling stood many disciples, with the first few being other direct disciples residing in this cave dwelling area, and the leader was naturally Cui Donghao.

Lin Mo chuckled, clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone, and said gratefully, "Thank you for your congratulations, Senior Brother Cui, and thank you all!"

Many ordinary disciples who came to watch couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.

A cultivator at the Candle Illumination Realm can live a carefree life in the world for 180 years. If they can take some longevity-promoting medicines and life-extending pills, it would not be surprising if they lived to be 200 years old.

In the cultivation world of the Yu Kingdom, the cultivation level of the Candle Illumination Realm is already considered to be quite advanced, and one would be a guest of honor in any faction.

Cui Donghao said, "Junior Brother Lin, you have just broken through, and your aura is a little weak. You still need to meditate for a while to consolidate your foundation."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Cui. I was just about to go back and meditate for a while longer."

"Fellow disciples, please excuse me."

Just then, a figure flew across the sky.

"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, Junior Brother Lin. Our Punishment Hall has prepared a small gift to celebrate."

Yang Xiaoran, who was standing in the air, sent out a package containing many white spirit fruits and a yellow jade slip.

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, not expecting the Hall of Punishments to send a gift at this time.

The other disciples who were watching the ceremony also had a strange expression on their faces.

It's rather strange that the Punishment Hall would send Lin Mo a congratulatory gift for his promotion, since he is the abbot's personal disciple. The two things are unrelated.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Yang!" Lin Mo could roughly guess what the Hall of Punishments meant.

Now that he has entered the Candle Illumination Realm, the main ingredient of his Human Essence Pill is not far from being ready.

Once the Blood Transporting Scripture is cultivated to perfection, the abbot will probably immediately begin refining elixirs.

From now on, his every move will be closely watched by the Abbot. It would not be a good thing if he had too close contact with the Hall of Punishments.

Therefore, the Hall of Punishments sent him that earth-attribute divine power as a congratulatory gift, taking advantage of his promotion.

"No need for thanks, this is just a token of my appreciation." After saying this, Yang Xiaoran decisively turned and left without lingering.

Just after she left, a deep and majestic voice echoed through the air:

"My good disciple, come to the Golden Sun Hall. Your master has prepared a gift to celebrate your promotion."

The moment the voice rang out, all the disciples present lowered their heads in respect.

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the void, replying, "Disciple obeys!"

"Since my master has summoned me, I will not linger any longer. Farewell."

The other cultivators who came to observe the ceremony waved their hands, indicating that it was alright.

...

Inside the Golden Sun Hall, the abbot sat cross-legged on a futon, a smile appearing on his face as he watched the figure slowly walk in.

"Disciple Lin Mo greets Master!" Upon seeing the Abbot, Lin Mo immediately performed a deep bow.

The abbot scrutinized him repeatedly, then nodded with great satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. You've only been my disciple for about a year, yet you've already ignited your life flame. Such a speed of cultivation is astonishing anywhere."

"I have some pills here that will greatly benefit your cultivation in the Illumination Realm. Please take them and use them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the abbot pointed his finger in the air, and a golden light flashed.

Suddenly, two white jade porcelain bottles appeared in front of Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised to see the two white jade porcelain bottles. He hadn't expected the abbot to bestow upon him elixirs for cultivation.

He had originally thought that the abbot would reward him with a elixir to enhance his blood energy and speed up his cultivation of the "Blood Transmission Sutra".

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will never forget your great kindness," Lin Mo said hurriedly, bowing in gratitude.

The abbot waved his hand and said, "Besides your daily cultivation, don't neglect the practice of the Blood Transporting Scripture."

"The cultivation of the Candle Illumination Realm, besides improving one's cultivation level, is more importantly about tempering one's physique."

"With a strong physical body, the blood and energy within the body will also become more abundant, so why worry about a lack of vitality?"

"And the Blood Transporting Scripture that you are cultivating is one of the best auxiliary cultivation methods for this realm. If you can cultivate it to perfection, there will be no more bottlenecks for you in the Illumination Realm, and you can cultivate to the peak of the Illumination Realm without any obstacles."

Lin Mo looked thoughtful and slowly nodded, saying, "This disciple has learned a lot and thanks Master for his guidance."

"Alright, go back and consolidate your cultivation, and solidify your foundation."

"This disciple takes his leave!"

...

Back in his cave, Lin Mo's brows remained furrowed as he pondered why the abbot was still giving him pills to enhance his cultivation.

At this time, shouldn't we be urging him to focus on practicing the "Blood Transporting Sutra"?

After all, only when this body-tempering method is cultivated to perfection can it meet the standard for refining the main ingredient of the Human Essence Pill.

After racking his brains for a long time without any results, Lin Mo simply took out the two bottles of pills that the abbot had given him.

For cultivators who have just entered the Candle Illumination Realm, the most suitable elixir for this realm should be the Spirit Enhancement Pill.

The Spirit Enhancement Pill not only improves magical power and cultivation, but also invigorates qi and blood, allowing magical power cultivation and physical body cultivation to progress simultaneously.

"No, the Spirit Enhancement Pill I saw in the palace wasn't like this."

Lin Mo frowned deeply. He realized that the pills in the white jade porcelain bottle were not the milky-white pills like the Spirit Enhancement Pill.

Instead, it was a dark brown pill with a very pungent odor.

For a moment, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

He was not an alchemist, so naturally he couldn't know all the pills suitable for cultivators in the Candle Illumination Realm.

But soon, Lin Mo remembered something the abbot had told his two personal alchemy disciples when he went down the mountain earlier.

That was to refine a kind of pill called Peiyuan Dan.

Soon, he recalled his two senior brothers' evaluation of the Peiyuan Pill.

Its medicinal properties are extremely potent; taking it might damage one's own foundation, making it far less valuable than the Spirit Enhancement Pill!

Upon thinking of this, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"They're actually some pills that damage one's foundation... What a vicious thought."

boom!

Lin Mo, his expression uncertain, put the two bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills away without taking them rashly.

Having just completed his advancement, he still needs to consolidate his cultivation. Even if the pill is fine, he cannot take it rashly.
