Cultivating immortality begins with discerning the secrets of heaven.

Lin Hongye did not rush to refuse Lin Xuan's suggestion.

She said slowly, "As for your desire to become a disciple of law enforcement, we need to consider it further. The position of elder of punishment involves too many things, and I cannot give you an answer immediately."

"Let's wait a little longer."

Lin Yun's thoughts raced as he considered what kind of help he could get from Lin Hongye.

Having finally found a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator to rely on, I certainly can't let this opportunity slip by.

But the premise is that you can't make any outrageous requests. Didn't you see that Lin Mo from Bo Mai was rejected just now?

"The sect's weapon-refining tasks are not difficult for me. Refining two low-grade magic weapons every month is a piece of cake. Even the spiritual materials are provided by the sect, and I can also make a profit from it."

"For me, the most important thing right now is to improve my cultivation, but now that I have obtained Tuoba Ye's inheritance, I can start making plans for the future."

Just as Lin Yun was pondering, Lin Hongye spoke up, "Alright, let's call it a day. You all go back now, but Lin Yun, my cousin, will stay."

Seeing that Lin Hongye had left Lin Yun behind alone, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, but she remained silent and left with the other two.

After everyone else left, Lin Hongye said with a half-smile:

"Brother Lin Yun, you yourself are wearing a mid-grade inner armor, yet you're giving me a low-grade Xuan Earth inner armor as a congratulatory gift. Isn't that disrespectful?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression, and he forced a dry laugh:

"Hehe, it's just that I was thinking that since you, Sister Hongye, have already successfully established your foundation, there's not much difference between a low-grade magic weapon and a mid-grade magic weapon."

Lin Hongye naturally just joked about it; why would she take it seriously?

Lin Yun's weapon-refining skills, however, caught her eye.

"So, this mid-grade inner armor you're wearing was also crafted by yourself?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "That's right! If it weren't for refining these two pieces of Xuan Earth Inner Armor, I wouldn't have arrived so late today and almost missed my elder sister's Foundation Establishment celebration."

"very good!"

"I was still a little hesitant about what Elder Meng said before. Renting a shop in Taiyuan Immortal City would cost quite a lot of spirit stones."

  

"After all, my Lin family doesn't have anything worth selling in the Immortal City. The spirit bamboo that the family grows is enough to be consumed in Zhongling Market."

This was also her biggest concern. Opening a shop in cooperation with Elder Meng sounded wonderful, but the problem was that the Lin family didn't have anything worth selling.

However, Elder Meng's talisman-making skills had reached the second level, enabling him to refine second-level talismans.

In the end, the shop's business benefited her, as the spirit bamboo sold by the Lin family was not considered very valuable in Taiyuan Immortal City.

"If you can forge a first-grade high-quality magic weapon, then this matter can be agreed to."

"We'll open a shop similar to the Hundred Arts Pavilion, selling talismans, magical artifacts, and family resources like spiritual bamboo. We can also take on some artifact crafting commissions for you."

Hearing this, Lin Yun nodded secretly. Doing so would indeed maximize the value of the shop.

He can also reap huge profits from it!

"However, I have only just crafted my first mid-grade magic weapon. As for when I will be able to craft a high-grade magic weapon, I have no idea."

The improvement of weapon crafting skills is like this. Unlike alchemy, where as long as you follow the formula and refine the pills a few times, even if you succeed only once, you can be called an alchemist of the corresponding rank.

However, weapon crafting is different. If a shop accepts weapon crafting commissions from other cultivators and fails too many times, its reputation will be ruined and difficult to repair.

Moreover, even if the final magical artifact does not meet the expectations of the person who commissioned it, it will still affect the reputation of the shop.

"Don't worry, even if I agree to become an enforcement elder, I won't immediately take over a shop in Taiyuan Immortal City."

"This matter needs careful consideration. If we rashly agree, it could very well drag the family down with us."

"Your most important task right now is to improve your cultivation and weapon-refining skills. You still have plenty of time."

At this point, Lin Hongye asked Lin Yun if there was anything she could help him with.

At this moment, Lin Yun thought of the Tuoba Ye inheritance that he had just acquired.

He is considering how to quickly monetize these legacies to gain more resources for himself.

Soon, he thought of a lineage that included the art of raising spirit insects.

"Sister, I went to the sect a while ago and accidentally obtained a inheritance for raising spirit insects."

"Now I want to try raising some spirit insects myself, but I don't have a place to do it right now, and I don't have any suitable spirit insect eggs on hand."

Tuoba Ye had a former title, "Master of a Thousand Insects," and among his many skills, the most troublesome were the various strange and magical insects on his body.

Tuoba Ye's lifelong insect-controlling heritage is extremely exquisite and profound, encompassing various methods such as raising and controlling spirit insects, making it extremely complete.

One of the methods describes how to cultivate mutated spirit insects, which, although not ancient mythical insects, are still quite terrifying.

These are his unique, secret methods, which have never been made public in the cultivation world.

Since Lin Yun had obtained Tuoba Ye's complete Insect Master inheritance, he certainly wouldn't waste it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongye's face showed a strange expression. She chuckled and said, "Oh? Clan Brother Lin Yun, you wouldn't also feel that the sect's affairs are too heavy and want to use me to shirk them, would you?"

Lin Yun shook his head and said, "Of course not. With my current weapon-refining skills, refining two low-grade magic weapons every month is just a piece of cake."

"I do have a copy of this insect-feeding tradition."

As he spoke, Lin Yun shared with her two methods for raising spirit insects without any hesitation.

These are fire bees and golden silkworms. The former are raised on a large scale and can produce fire bee eggs and some fire honey.

As for the latter, it can produce a spiritual material called Golden Silkworm Silk, which is perfect for refining weapons.

Soon, Lin Hongye's expression became serious.

Indeed, these are two methods for raising spirit insects. She had heard of these two types of spirit insects before. Although they are both first-tier spirit insects, the products they produce are quite good.

"Brother Yun, you really trust me. With just these two techniques, you can establish a family."

"Alright, in that case, I'll apply to the sect."

Sects naturally provide support to Foundation Establishment elders like Lin Hongye.

Next, she can apply for a place in the sect to raise spirit insects. If approved, she will have her own property.

Afterwards, one can use this as a basis to issue a long-term task to the sect, seeking someone to help raise spirit insects.

However, the prerequisite is that 30% of the profits must be handed over to the sect. All future Fire Spirit Honey and Golden Silkworm Silk produced must also be handed over to the sect at a rate of 30%.

Like other herb gardens established by the elders themselves, they all basically have to follow this rule.

Lin Yun had two considerations for choosing to raise fire spirit bees and golden silkworms.

First, these two types of insects are not difficult to raise and do not require much effort.

Secondly, the Tuoba Ye lineage contains specific methods for cultivating these two mutated varieties of spirit insects.

The former can raise a spirit insect called the Fire Jade Queen Bee, while the latter can cultivate a powerful spirit insect called the Six-Winged Hawk Moth!
