My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

Looking up, one can see the Third Ancestor Bai Ling'er sitting upright, and the extraordinary man beside her who just seemed to have nodded slightly to him.

Gu Changyuan's gaze did not linger on Yun Fan, but instead turned to a core disciple standing at the edge of the open space. His voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority as he slowly spoke:

"Take him down first, settle him properly, and treat him as an inner disciple."

Currently, all the elders are in seclusion in the council hall. After they emerge, according to custom, the elders will discuss and finalize the subsequent selection of personal mentors.

Bai Ling'er, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly in agreement.

Upon seeing this, the disciple of the Holy Land bowed respectfully, then turned to Yun Fan and gestured for him to enter the Holy Land.

Watching Yun Fan's departing figure, Bai Ling'er asked softly:

"What does Master think of Yun Fan?"

Gu Changyuan withdrew his gaze and said calmly:

"His temperament and perseverance are excellent. However, his talent is above average, but his spiritual root purity and physique are somewhat lacking, which may limit his future cultivation speed and potential."

However, with such determination, as long as he stays on the right path and has the right opportunities, he might very well be able to carve out his own niche.

Talent is 70% determined by fate.

Although there are ways to defy fate after birth, such as taking legendary heaven-defying pills, transplanting top-level spiritual roots and bones, or cultivating special techniques, the cost is huge and the effect is often not as good as being born perfect.

Moreover, his system's cultivation ratio transfer function only considers the cultivator's innate talent.

Otherwise, with his current strength, creating a group of top geniuses would be an easy task.

......

Noon arrived quickly, and the Heavenly Abyss Holy Scripture entered a one-hour rest period. All disciples returned to their assigned locations to rest.

Gu Changyuan then brought Bai Ling'er back to the council hall, where Xiao Yi, Yun Tianhe, and Han Feng were already waiting.

Upon entering the hall, one immediately senses a surge of spiritual energy that is even more intense than when one left.

Inside the hall, hundreds of elders remained seated, but many of them were surrounded by emanating spiritual light, their auras fluctuating.

The first area to show unusual activity was the Taiyin Elder's area, which clearly had reached the final stage of refining.

As if in a chain reaction, many more Taiyin elders followed suit and finished their refining, with spiritual energy fluctuations rising and falling, causing the main hall to tremble slightly.

There was also movement from the Supreme Elder's side, with many people breaking through bottlenecks that had been stuck for decades, and their auras surging.

Just then, a woman dressed in a light blue flowing dress, with a beautiful and gentle face, suddenly burst forth with a rich emerald green spiritual light.

The light was full of vitality, with faint shadowy figures of grass and trees swaying and growing behind it, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

It was Ning Heling, one of the Taiyin Elders, who was also Yun Tianhe's personal disciple.

Seeing that Ning Heling was the first to show signs of waking up, Yun Tianhe's face showed relief and a hint of joy.

Ning Heling's talent is at the tenth level. She possesses the rare Withered and Flourishing Green Wood Sacred Body, and is naturally compatible with the wood element law. She has unique advantages in healing, cultivating spiritual plants, and wood-based offense and defense.

At this moment, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them at first, which was then replaced by an indescribable excitement and enlightenment.

She could clearly feel that the newly fused Supreme Bone was resonating wonderfully with her Holy Body, and her perception of the wood spirit energy in the world had become more acute and clear.

Even the exploration of the potential of one's own sacred body has found new directions.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and immediately stood up, turned towards the platform, knelt on one knee, and adopted an extremely respectful posture:

"Disciple Ning Heling thanks the Holy Ancestor for his generous gift!"

Gu Changyuan nodded slightly, his voice calm:

Get up.

"Thank you, Holy Ancestor!"

Ning Heling got up as instructed, but did not return to her original position. Instead, she stood by the side, her posture upright like a pine tree, quietly waiting for the other disciples to finish their refining.

As if drawn by Ning Heling, one after another, powerful aura fluctuations erupted from the Taiyin Elders.

About half an hour later, the last elder slowly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and his face was full of satisfaction and excitement.

Without needing any orders, everyone stood up and lined up neatly.

At this moment, every elder's eyes gleamed with unprecedented brilliance and confidence, and their auras were generally much stronger than before.

In particular, those elders who were already stuck in a bottleneck period have shown signs of breaking through with the help of the Supreme Bone, and are just waiting to return to their secluded cultivation place to prepare for the breakthrough.

Gu Changyuan remained seated high in the position of the Holy Ancestor, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below, whose spirits had been renewed, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"good."

He spoke, and his voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"It seems everyone has gained a lot, with improvements in both foundation and potential. Now, here is the second gift."

Huh? There's a free gift too?!

All the elders were stunned.

All the elders were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

They all thought that the Supreme Bone was already the greatest blessing, so why did the Holy Ancestor want to give them other things?

Just as they were filled with doubt, Gu Changyuan gently raised his right hand, and more than five hundred dazzling weapons appeared out of thin air, hovering in front of each elder.

Each piece exudes a heart-palpitating aura and profound Daoist charm, its grade being—a semi-immortal artifact!

Before Elder Taiyin was a top-grade semi-immortal artifact, radiating the strongest spiritual light and exerting the greatest pressure.

Before the Supreme Elder was a mid-grade semi-immortal artifact, slightly inferior in quality, but still far superior to ordinary treasures.

Although the artifact in front of the ordinary elder was a low-grade semi-immortal artifact, it was still a genuine semi-immortal artifact.

The entire council hall was instantly filled with the precious light and oppressive aura emanating from more than five hundred semi-immortal artifacts, and the space itself trembled slightly.

Many elders stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape, their minds blank.

Given the current resources of the Celestial Holy Land, among its more than 500 elders, fewer than 40 possess semi-immortal artifacts!

Moreover, most of them are low-grade, with very few mid-grade and extremely rare high-grade!

The vast majority of people are still using top-grade celestial artifacts, and can't even get close to half-immortal artifacts.

And now, the Holy Ancestor simply waved his hand, and everyone received one, distributed according to their labor?!

This scale and ambition... it can't be described as just "extravagant," it's simply mind-blowing!

In terms of rarity and difficulty of obtaining, this thing is even more precious than the Supreme Bone in some ways.

The Supreme Bone strengthens oneself, while the Semi-Immortal Artifact is a genuine external combat power multiplier.

At this moment, all the elders could no longer contain their emotions; they were utterly shocked.

An elder named Li Huili, known for his forthright and generous nature, could no longer contain his excitement. He knelt down with a "thump" and shouted:

"WC! Godfather!"

Some elders who were usually on good terms with him, or who were also quite unconventional, and who were now dizzy from being showered with such immense wealth, seemed to have found an outlet for their emotions. Several of them knelt down with a "thump, thump," and began shouting all at once:

"Godfather above!"

"My godfather is so generous!"

"..."

Some dared to shout, while others were shy, more reserved, or too embarrassed to join in.

But the solemn, dignified, and even somewhat tense atmosphere in the council hall was instantly shattered by the antics of Li Huili and his group of lively characters.

Instead, there was an almost frenzied excitement and relaxation, and many people couldn't help but smile.
