Chapter 58 Han Li becomes a disciple of Hong Fu?
Soon, Li Huayuan and Lin Chuan returned to the hall. They remained seated in the same spot, but Yu Kun was not there; he must have left on his own.
Seeing the master and apprentice return, she asked softly, "How did it go? Have you made your choice?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master's wife. I have already made my choice," Lin Chuan replied respectfully.
Li Huayuan sat back in the main seat, stroked his beard, and said, "Now that you have the cultivation method, what other powerful spells would you like to practice?"
"I have several good intermediate-level spell manuals here; you may choose one or two."
Lin Chuan's heart stirred.
While the original Li Huayuan wasn't exactly a miser, he was certainly not a generous person either.
Today, not only were the treasured cultivation techniques made available for selection, but the emperor also offered to bestow spells upon him. This shows that the three invisible needle talismans and the Blood Thread Dragon's inner core truly pleased him, and he was willing to invest in his great contributor.
However, after a moment's thought, Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Master."
"It is just that I feel that intermediate spells take a long time to cultivate, and it can take several years or even more than ten years to reach the minor mastery level."
"As a disciple newly entering the Foundation Establishment stage, my immediate priority should be stabilizing my realm and improving my magical power. The matters of cultivating profound spells can be postponed somewhat."
He changed the subject, looking at Li Huayuan with just the right amount of hope:
"Master... I wonder if you could bestow upon your disciple a suitable magical artifact?"
Although I gained some items in the forbidden area, my defensive magical artifacts were slightly damaged in the previous battle, and I am currently lacking a powerful defensive item.
Li Huayuan was taken aback upon hearing this.
He then pointed at Lin Chuan and laughed, "You little rascal, you've chosen your cultivation technique, but you don't want the spells, yet you've set your sights on your master's magical artifacts!"
Granting a spell is simply a matter of copying a jade slip, with almost no cost;
As for bestowing magical artifacts, those are truly precious treasures.
However, considering Lin Chuan's contributions and seeing the smiling look in his wife's eyes, he readily agreed, "Alright, considering your great achievements, I'll grant you one."
He hesitated for a moment, then took something out of his storage bag and handed it over.
It was a palm-sized, crimson tortoise shell with naturally occurring mysterious patterns on its surface, radiating a rich fire elemental energy and a powerful defensive aura.
"This is the Crimson Flame Tortoise Shell, made from the shell of a level four demon beast called the Crimson Flame Tortoise. It also contains some copper essence used to refine magical artifacts, and was refined by my master with alchemical fire for half a month."
"In terms of defensive power, it is considered top-tier among high-grade magical artifacts, especially with strong resistance to fire-based spell attacks, and it also has a trace of fire-based counter-attack power."
Since you possess a fire elemental root, it's perfect for you. With just a little refinement, you can control it at will.
"Thank you so much, Master, for your generous gift!"
Lin Chuan was overjoyed and accepted the crimson tortoise shell with both hands. It was warm to the touch and full of spiritual energy.
Its quality is indeed far superior to the golden shield he used before and the black shield he obtained from Fengyue.
With this item, his defensive capabilities will be elevated to a new level.
After bestowing the magical artifact, Li Huayuan gave Lin Chuan a further "reprimand": "Although magical spells are difficult to master, you can't go your whole life without learning them. If you fight with others in the future, it will only diminish my reputation as Li Huayuan... There are three intermediate-level spells in this jade slip. Take them back..."
"Thank you for the reward, Master!"
Lin Chuan was overjoyed. Today's trip was truly auspicious. He not only obtained cultivation techniques and magical artifacts, but also several intermediate-level spells!
For the next two days, Lin Chuan did not rush to leave Green Wave Cave, but stayed there.
Taking the opportunity, he consulted Li Huayuan about many cultivation difficulties after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, demonstrating the respect between master and disciple.
Li Huayuan was in a very good mood.
He patiently guided Lin Chuan.

From the circulation and nurturing of liquid true essence to the techniques of using divine sense during the Foundation Establishment stage.
Then, some common training hurdles and precautions are explained in detail.
This greatly benefited Lin Chuan, giving him a clearer understanding of the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation.
During a casual conversation.
Lin Chuan asked casually, "Master, I wonder how Junior Brother Han Li, who returned from the forbidden area with me that day, is doing now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Huayuan smiled and said:
"You mean that kid Han Li? He's not bad at all. I did as you asked and introduced him to your Martial Aunt Hong Fu."
"Originally, I didn't expect you, Master Hongfu, to take him in, but you saw that although his spiritual root aptitude was ordinary, his character was tenacious... and his performance in the forbidden area was also acceptable. He was clever and resourceful, so you made an exception and took him in as a disciple..."
Master Hongfu?
Lin Chuan's heart stirred slightly.
This is the only female Core Formation cultivator in Yellow Maple Valley, and her cultivation level is extremely high.
He is much stronger than Li Huayuan.
However, he has a somewhat aloof and cold personality.
Especially since they don't like handsome male cultivators, someone like Han Li, who is quite ordinary, might have a chance of being noticed by his senior sister, Hong Fu...
It seems that Han Li's failure to be favored by Li Huayuan has actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise, giving him a stronger backer and perhaps making things much smoother for him in the future...
"I see. It's good fortune that Junior Brother Han has gained the favor of Senior Sister Hong Fu."
Lin Chuan nodded, his expression seemingly nonchalant, as if he were just asking casually.
Not long after, Lin Chuan bid farewell to his master and mistress and left Green Wave Cave on his magical artifact.
Instead, they went to the sect's council hall.
In front of the council hall.
"Uncle-Master, is there anything I can help you with?"
Although the two Qi Refining disciples on duty did not recognize Lin Chuan, they could clearly sense the spiritual pressure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and dared not be negligent, so they bowed respectfully.
"I want to see the sect leader!" Lin Chuan said.
"The sect leader is inside, please come in, Uncle-Master!"
Inside the main hall.
Sect Leader Zhong Lingdao was handling some business when he looked up and saw Lin Chuan. His eyes lit up immediately.
He vividly remembered the scene outside the Crimson Forbidden Land. This disciple, who had been taken in by Uncle Li and contributed twenty-eight spiritual herbs, had successfully established his foundation in just three months!
Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin, on successfully establishing your foundation!
The path has advanced to a new level!
Zhong Lingdao stood up.
He bowed with a beaming smile.
Although he is the sect leader, in reality he is just a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who knows he has no hope of forming his core and chooses to handle miscellaneous sect affairs.
He naturally didn't put on any airs when facing the disciple of Master Li, a Core Formation cultivator.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Sect Leader. I've come here specifically to register for Foundation Establishment."
Lin Chuan returned the greeting.
"That's how it should be, junior brother, please wait a moment."
Zhong Lingdao turned and went into the inner room. A moment later, he returned carrying a white jade tablet.
He did it in front of Lin Chuan.
With a gold-lacquered brush, he solemnly added the two characters "Lin Chuan" to the end of the jade register.
After the registration was completed, Zhong Lingdao took out three mid-grade spirit stones and five small flags shrouded in a thin white mist from his storage bag and handed them to Lin Chuan: "This is a customary reward within the sect for newly promoted Foundation Establishment disciples. The three mid-grade spirit stones are a one-time gift, and you can receive one more every year thereafter. You will not need to take on any miscellaneous duties."
These five cryptic flags can be used to set up the simplest small illusion array. After opening up the cave, they can prevent mortals and wild beasts from intruding...
"Thank you, Senior Brother Sect Leader!"
Lin Chuan accepted these gifts but did not linger.
His next destination was the Hundred Herbs Garden. Although Han Li had been accepted as a disciple by Hong Fu, it was unlikely that he would live in Hong Fu's cave. He should still be in the Hundred Herbs Garden at the moment.
