Elder Yi left, and Xiao Yi stood there, stunned for a moment.
Having interacted for a month, Xiao Yi roughly understood Elder Yi's character.
Though an odd old man, he indeed was a senior worthy of respect.
Elder Yi had asked him to exchange for that item for a reason.
Xiao Yi even found that Elder Yi seemed to be doing so intentionally, crafting a perfect cultivation process for him.
From the first day's guidance on Martial Arts Knowledge to this month's advice on refining,

This went beyond mere guidance and was more like a master meticulously teaching his disciple.
Feeling reflective, Xiao Yi shook his head and turned to leave, having had an especially fulfilling month.
