In the sect's assembly hall, after Lin Hao handed over the written Alchemy and Artifact Refining Skills, he didn't forget the two elders and made a special trip into the secret realm.
When he saw the two elders, Lin Hao couldn't recognize them at all. They had turned into wildmen.
They had become so engrossed in mining the Flowing Light Divine Stone that they had forgotten to eat or sleep.
When Lin Hao offered to take them out, the two elders refused point-blank, nearly coming to blows with him.
After sensing their auras, however, Lin Hao was stunned. Their cultivation had unconsciously advanced to the Soul Gathering Realm!
In the elders' own words: "Not only does this place improve our cultivation, but we also get to be the ones to mine the Flowing Light Divine Stone. This is the highest honor."
In the end, Lin Hao had no choice but to give up.
Before he left, Lin Hao left behind the Spiritual Artifacts he had extorted from the powers in the Divinity Realm.
