Bai Zhai nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Sister Du and I discovered it relatively early. Unfortunately, our abilities are limited, and we cannot cross the checkpoints to protect the other disciples. In addition, the order of the teleportation checkpoints is chaotic, so we can only try our best to protect the disciples in our own checkpoint."

"I set up a safe defensive formation and barrier for them in this level before moving on to the next level to set up a barrier for the disciples in the next level."

True Monarch Zilan nodded and praised, "You did the right thing. This way, the disciples can stay in the barrier until the cave ends. It's just a pity that this means less harvest. The resources obtained this time may not even be as good as those of other small and medium-sized sects."

As soon as True Monarch Zilan finished speaking, Mu Xiuran stepped forward and said to True Monarch Zilan, "It's not necessarily like that. True Monarch, my junior sister Lin and I had a fairly fruitful trip to the cave. Although we didn't obtain any divine-level cultivation techniques, we killed quite a few cultivators from other sects, and the resources we plundered from their corpses were considerable."

As he spoke, Mu Xiuran took out all the resources he had collected and showed them to True Monarch Zilan one by one.

Dozens of storage rings, along with twenty or thirty storage bags, were piled up like a small mountain, a spectacular sight that shocked all the Taique Sect disciples present.

One disciple stared wide-eyed and stammered, "This... these were all obtained by defeating elite disciples? So many? Just how many elite disciples did you defeat?"

Mu Xiuran explained, "We only defeated about twenty people. The reason there are so many storage bags and rings is because each person has more than one."

One disciple covered his mouth in astonishment and exclaimed, "I've never seen so many storage rings! Storage rings are dozens of times more expensive than storage bags; non-elite disciples simply can't afford them. The value of these rings alone is already considerable! Not to mention what's inside; if they were all taken out, it's simply... unimaginable!"

True Monarch Zilan said with satisfaction, "Very good. In this way, our harvest from Twin Lotus Cave has far exceeded our expectations. You two have done a good job!"

"According to the sect's rules, 70% of these resources must be handed over to the sect, and you can take 30%. The remaining portion handed over to the sect will be deposited into your disciple tokens as equivalent points, which you can use when needed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang and Mu Xiuran happily cupped their hands and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, True Lord!"

After Zilan Zhenjun put away and examined the resources, she turned to Mu Xiuran and asked, "By the way, you said before that you didn't obtain a divine-level cultivation technique. What happened? Could it be that what you were fighting for wasn't the technique itself?"

Mu Xiuran nodded and said, "Yes, what we're actually fighting over is a storage ring. There's no cultivation technique inside; we're all too late. The technique was actually obtained by Ming Yijun, who disappeared a hundred years ago."

"Mingyi Jun?"

Zilan Zhenjun rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "So it was taken by Xuanhui's second disciple. That's good, it didn't fall into the hands of other sects."

Zilan Zhenjun paused for a moment, then continued, "However, recently I have heard some strange rumors that someone witnessed Mingyi Jun's appearance on the northern ice plains."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang was immediately startled and quickly asked, "Is this true, True Lord? Where did this news come from? Do you have any definite news about my senior brother?"

True Monarch Zilan replied, "It's news from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion isn't sure if it's really him, they just received eyewitness testimony. Maybe your second senior brother is still alive, you can go to the north to look for him."

Lin Yitang was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for providing the information, True Lord. I will definitely go to the North to find my senior brother."

So, everyone stopped talking about the Twin Lotus Cave and began to heal their wounds in silence.

During this time, True Monarch Zilan also truthfully reported what happened in the inheritance cave to the sect through the communication jade.

The resources submitted by Mu Xiuran and others were converted into points and stored in their disciple tokens. Each elite disciple received at least 100,000 points!

Non-elite disciples like Lin Yitang were not required to hand over resources, but because she helped to seize the storage ring, the main peak rewarded her with 10,000 points.

The sheer number of points left her speechless.

She had taken in so many new disciples, and even with all the tasks and merits earned within the sect, she had only earned 9,500 points.

Just by assisting an elite disciple once, you can earn 10,000 points, more than you have accumulated before!

It seems becoming an elite disciple is still the best path. Following an elite disciple, she's even gotten so much soup; no wonder so many people are desperate to become elite disciples—the opportunities to make merit are so numerous and easy, and resources come quickly!

After that, Lin Yitang's schedule became much simpler.

First, there was the contract she made with Su Qianqian. The Hehuan Sect was located in the north, and she had to go there to deliver Mo Chen to the Hehuan Sect as promised.

Secondly, she had also made an appointment with Yun Ni and Xu Qingyun to go to the Frost Sect to retrieve a high-grade Frost Pearl. This also meant that she would need to go to the north again.

Finally, they searched for the whereabouts of their second senior brother, Ming Yijun.

Considering all three issues, she only needs to go to the northern region once to resolve all three simultaneously.

You can also take the opportunity to hone your skills in the treacherous icy wilderness.

However, before heading north, she had to deal with some matters within the sect.

Unable to receive outside messages while inside the Twin Lotus Cave, she received a message from Li Lingxuan inside the communication jade about the members of the Anti-Lin Alliance as soon as she came out.

Her fellow disciples from the same cohort also all broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage within this month.

Qin Chong, Shi Muyue, Min Jingyuan, and Xu Xiping all successfully established their foundations and went out to gain experience.

Senior Brother Wei, Senior Brother Liu, Song Hang, and other disciples of the previous generation have also broken through to the mid-to-late stage of Foundation Establishment, making rapid progress.

I heard that Mo Ziheng, who was in the same cohort, also broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, becoming the fastest person to break through after Lin Yitang.

It seemed that under Lin Yitang's overwhelming pressure, everyone was putting in their best effort, each one desperately trying to break through.

This is actually a good thing for both the sect and the individuals involved.

Most importantly, two pieces of good news have arrived.

That means Fan Niannian and Ling Nianyan broke through to the Golden Core stage and officially became elite disciples!

In this way, Lin Yitang now has two elite disciples to rely on, one more than Ye Qiuli, which truly excites her.

She quickly prepared a jade box, filled it with some gifts, and prepared to give them to the two of them.

Several high-grade spirit mushrooms that can enhance cultivation, a level-five sea monster corpse, and some magical treasures looted from others were all placed into the jade box.

After preparing all this, Lin Yitang asked a disciple of the Taique Sect stationed nearby to send the gifts back to the sect. At the same time, considering that Junior Brother Zhao Qian was also about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage but was short of Foundation Establishment Pills, she also asked someone to send one back.

With the help of the communication jade within the Anti-Lin Alliance, Zhao Qian was deeply grateful upon learning the news. He immediately wrote her an IOU and swore that he would definitely repay it.

To date, Lin Yitang still has two Foundation Establishment Pills left unused.

Under the protection of True Monarch Zilan, three days passed, and everyone's injuries had basically recovered.

True Monarch Zilan plans to take some disciples who do not intend to continue training back to the sect for healing or seclusion, while the others will remain in the cultivation world of the central region.

Before leaving, Mu Xiuran, Du Jixue, and Bai Zhai submitted a letter of recommendation for Lin Yitang.

True Monarch Zilan nodded and accepted the letter, indicating that he would deliver all three recommendation letters to the main peak.

Before parting, Mu Xiuran asked, "By the way, Junior Sister Lin, would you like to continue training with us? We plan to explore some more secret realms in the central region."
