Having been flatly rejected by the instructor, Lin Ye and Dongfang Zhen exchanged a look and had no choice but to give up in disappointment.
They walked back along the mountain path, each returning to their own private villa.
Lin Ye closed the door.
As he took stock of the day's gains, an irrepressible excitement surged within him.
His new Cultivation Technique, the Tai Xu Two Principles True Understanding, was far more efficient than the Five Qi Guiding Formulas.
And his new Observation Skill, the Candlelight Illuminating the Nine Netherworld Map, would continuously increase his Spirit attribute as long as he practiced it, shoring up his greatest weakness.
Most importantly, he could finally see a path to unlocking the third stage.
This tangible goal gave him even more motivation to grow stronger.
Lin Ye wasted no time. He sat cross-legged in his villa's training room and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
