He Yuanyue nodded with a sigh of relief, his heart filled with joy.

He sat back down on the prayer mat, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

But his slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner excitement.

Looking at this disciple who was excessively young yet excessively powerful, his eyes were filled with relief and gratitude.

There is also a kind of bewilderment and confusion that is hard to explain.

Everything that happened today feels like an unrealistic dream.

He was afraid that he would wake up one morning to find that it was all a lie.

No one expected that Lin Feng would be so extraordinary.

Not only did he break through his own cultivation at an incomprehensible speed, but he could also help others resist tribulations.

If this ability were to be revealed, Lin Feng's value would increase immeasurably.

It expanded to a point that drove the entire cultivation world mad.

What does it mean to be able to help someone overcome a tribulation?

For those Golden Core cultivators at the peak who are stuck at a bottleneck and fear the Heavenly Tribulation,

This is equivalent to someone helping you overcome the biggest hurdle in your life, allowing you to safely advance from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

This ability is a thousand times more precious than any Nascent Soul Pill or rare and precious treasures; it's not even in the same league.

Thinking of this, He Yuanyue's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

He opened his eyes and, in an unusually solemn tone, gave Lin Feng his instructions.

Every word and sentence conveyed concern and worry:

"Feng'er, please don't let anyone know that you can withstand the lightning tribulation."

The stakes involved are far more complex than you can imagine.

If this secret were to become known to the outside world, your situation would become extremely dangerous.

It's not just your enemies who fear your growth who will try every means to eliminate you;

Even those forces that seem to be on good terms with the Cangxuan Sect may not be without ulterior motives.

There are very few people in the entire cultivation world who can help others overcome tribulations.

You alone are worth a hundred Nascent Soul experts.

As your teacher, I don't want to see you being coveted and exploited because of your skills.

Lin Feng knew, of course, that He Yuanyue was saying these words for his own good.

The ability to help people overcome tribulations is indeed extremely shocking.

If the news gets out, there will indeed be a lot of trouble. Of course, Lin Feng had no intention of helping a stranger overcome his tribulation.

He nodded earnestly and replied, "Yes, Master."

This is something only you and I know; no third person will know.

He Yuanyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then rubbed his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.

A rare look of embarrassment and shame appeared on that old face.

He coughed lightly, his expression a mixture of self-deprecation and helplessness.

There is also a kind of honest, undisguised shame:

"Feng'er, your cultivation has far surpassed that of your master."

In terms of strength, you are at the Nascent Soul stage, while your master is still stuck at the peak of the Golden Core stage;

In terms of talent, I can't even catch up with your shadow;

You're only in your early twenties and you've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, while I've been cultivating for over a hundred years and I'm still stuck in the same place.

Now that I am your teacher again, I feel ashamed and unworthy of the title.

"How about... we address each other as equals from now on?"

When Lin Feng heard He Yuanyue use the phrase "as peers," his expression immediately turned awkward.

He waved his hands repeatedly, "Master, please don't say that."

A teacher for a day is a teacher for life; this is an eternal truth.

Just because my cultivation level has increased by a few levels, can the order of seniority be thrown into disarray?

What kind of person would I be then?

"Now that your cultivation level is high, you don't recognize your master anymore? If word gets out, people will think I, Lin Feng, am an ungrateful wretch."

He Yuanyue smiled and waved his hand, his expression a mixture of relief and emotion.

There was a hint of pride hidden in that smile.

But more than anything, it's a state of clear-headedness.

"Feng'er, your master understands your feelings, but this is the rule of the cultivation world."

The strong are respected, and the accomplished are teachers.

With your talent, the Cangxuan Sect is merely your starting point.

Even Nanhua County might not be able to contain you; your future is limitless.

Sooner or later, I will have to leave this world and go to a bigger stage.

By then, your master will be a powerful being at the Integration Realm, or even a legendary Great Ascension Realm expert.

As a mere Golden Core cultivator, how dare I presume to be your master?

That's really hard to believe.

In the cultivation world, seniority is determined by cultivation level; this has been a customary rule established over thousands of years.

It's not something that can be changed for me alone.

Lin Feng didn't care much about how people addressed him.

In his mind, one should not put on airs and disrespect others just because one's cultivation level surpasses theirs.

He Yuanyue took him as his disciple when he was at his weakest, teaching him everything he knew and protecting him in every way.

They even stuffed the sect's most treasured sword, the Cangxuan Sword, into his hands; this kindness cannot be measured by cultivation level.

He waved his hand, his tone relaxed yet firm, "Let's still address each other as Master."

That's settled then, no need for further discussion.

Master, please rest and recuperate for a few days.

Get your mindset into the best possible state, and I'll help you through this tribulation. It's a deal.

He Yuanyue opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something more to decline,

But Lin Feng didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

After saying that, he turned around and strode away from the cave. His robes flashed at the cave entrance and he disappeared without a trace.

He Yuanyue stood alone in the cave, gazing in the direction Lin Feng had left, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

He lived for over two hundred years and witnessed countless instances of human warmth and coldness.

Lin Feng, however, possessed extraordinary talent yet remained humble and composed; his cultivation far surpassed his master's, yet he remained as respectful as ever.

Not only did they not look down on his master, who was only at the Golden Core stage, they also offered to help him overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and grant him the great fortune of forming a Nascent Soul.

Being able to accept Lin Feng as a disciple is truly a blessing that He Yuanyue has accumulated over eight lifetimes.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and gently pressed his sleeve against the corner of his eye.

Then I sat cross-legged back on the futon and began to calm my mind and adjust my state of mind.

When Lin Feng returned to Cangling Peak, he saw several beautiful figures standing at the entrance of the cave, eagerly waiting.

When the women saw him return, their faces lit up with smiles, like a spring breeze caressing a flowerbed.

"Young Master!" Xueyao was the first to rush over and hug Lin Feng's arm.

"Husband!" Gu Yu and Wei Zhaoyi called out in unison, their voices filled with undisguised joy and longing.

Lin Feng smiled and pulled them into his arms one by one, giving each of them a hug.

The girls gathered around, chattering about what had happened in the past few days, and the air was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Lin Feng spent some time with them, making up for the debt he had incurred during his trip these past few days.

After all the women had fallen asleep, deep down, Lin Feng really wanted to test the effects of the lightning spirit root in actual combat.

With a physical body cultivated in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, plus this Thunder Spirit Root, what if someone dies because the force is not controlled properly?

None of them could withstand his thunderous power.

This left Lin Feng quite frustrated. He had finally acquired a new skill, but he couldn't even find someone to practice on. It was like wearing fine clothes in the dark.
