However, Su Qi Hong wasn’t worried about Lin Yi reaching the Golden Core stage before him. Achieving the Golden Core isn’t as simple as completing perfect Foundation Establishment and automatically condensing a pill; it involves a greatly difficult bottleneck to break through. Even for those with top-grade spiritual roots, it is exceedingly difficult, let alone for those with lower-grade spiritual roots.

Even if one possesses abundant resources, it would be of no use if their spiritual roots were inadequate for comprehension.

As they were engaged in their conversation, Zhou Yun Feng flew in riding a sword and landed on the Ferry Platform. Many of the Inner Sect Disciples can’t help but raise their fists in salute, “Greetings, Uncle Master.”

Although Zhou Yun Feng’s lifespan is now down to just over forty years, having lived for four fifths of the two hundred and fifty years that Foundation Establishment allows, he is still the most respected Uncle Master and Elder Brother in the eyes of the many disciples on Golden Sword Peak.

But, many of the disciples regretted deeply that their Uncle Master could have achieved the Golden Core stage, but now, his progress must stop at Foundation Establishment.

Now, with only a bit more than forty years of life left, there isn’t any hope left for restoring his roots and reaching the Golden Core stage.

Zhou Yun Feng smiled and nodded, walking over to Lin Yi and displaying a smile, `Little Junior Brother, you’re becoming more and more unremarkable. If I hadn’t spotted Su Junior Brother, I wouldn’t have noticed you.”

Using a spell to sense Lin Yi’s cultivation levels, he acknowledged with surprise, “Congratulations on successful seclusion and breaking through to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment.”

He no longer thinks about restoring his root nor achieving a Golden Core. His greatest joy is now to see the disciples of the Golden Sword Peak continuously increasing their cultivation levels, which are the strengths of Golden Sword Peak.

“Greetings, Elder Brother. Ah, it’s a fluke that I broke through, my cultivation levels improved after so many years of seclusion. Luckily, I didn’t disgrace us or the Golden Sword Peak.” Lin Yi shook his head and concluded.

Zhou Yun Feng patted Lin Yi’s shoulder, “The fact that you, with your lower-grade spiritual roots, could elevate your cultivation level to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment in just forty years, is already quite impressive. Continue working hard.”

“Perhaps during my lifetime, I might see you achieving the Golden Core stage. When that happens, I will have to address you as Uncle Master Lin.”

Upon hearing this joke, Lin Yi and Su Qi Hong beside him didn’t laugh at all. Instead, they felt saddened. Ironically, the disciple who was the most likely to achieve the Golden Core was now speaking about the end of his life.

Seeing their downcast moods, Zhou Yun Feng laughed heartily, “I’ve already accepted reality, so you guys should too. Don’t obsess over an unseen hope. Instead, work hard at cultivating. That is the best way to help me.”

“Elder Brother, instead of achieving Golden Core, I’d rather call you ‘Brother’ forever.” Lin Yi shook his head and uttered.

“I’ll always be your Elder Brother, as long as you wish it to be.” Zhou Yun Feng grinned, his words were true, but it’d be false to say there was no regret in his heart. However, he’d already accepted it entirely.

His Master, Golden Sword Zen Ren, was always in meditation trying to comprehend the Nascent Soul Realm in the hope of dealing with his remaining time, looking for a final opportunity; but now, there were no more chances left.

Afterwards, he waved his hand and continued, “Alright, enough about this. Little Junior Brother, since you have chosen to come out of seclusion, it must mean you are ready to continue teaching our Sect’s exceptional disciples.”

Lin Yi nodded, “Yes, Elder Brother, I’ve already broken through to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment. There won’t be any more breakthroughs for a while, so why not spend my time teaching disciples and earning money instead.”

“Those outside our Golden Sword Peak, who wish to participate have to pay or agree to one of my conditions.”

The disciples whom he taught before were those who entered the Secret Realm, and he didn’t charge any fee from the disciples of other peaks. But now, it was different. The disciples he would be teaching could potentially enter the Secret Realm, and lessons definitely won’t be free anymore.
