Having demonstrated his strength, Lin Yi bowed deeply to Zhang Dao Xuan, "Master, thank you for your guidance and protection. The formation of my Golden Core owes half its credit to you."
Zhang Dao Xuan couldn't suppress his laughter and waved his hand, saying, "Hahaha, credit doesn't matter. When you ascend to the Upper Realm and meet my true self there, please show off a little on my behalf."
"Why not go up yourself and speak to him? You could just find a reliable disciple to look after this Secret Realm then," Lin Yi suggested.
Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head, "You think good disciples are that easy to find? One like you might only appear once in a thousand years."
Afterwards, he gently walked forward, patted Lin Yi's shoulder and said, "Taking you as my disciple has truly been a blessing in my three lives. You've done something that I haven't been able to - successfully cultivate a Golden Core. And not only that but one composed of seven elements. I must reward you."
