Lin Yan's purpose this time was to bring Yang Cong back to the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Although Xu Lan had not yet returned, Lin Yan wanted Yang Cong to experience the sect's atmosphere and also to help him initiate his Qi.
He was only six or seven years old, and the male protagonist was already in the middle stage of Qi Refining. If Cong'er hadn't even started his cultivation, how could he ever catch up?
Lin Yan didn't intend to use Cong'er for anything; he was just a child. She simply wanted to nurture more talented individuals for the Lingxiao Sword Sect, ensuring that the male protagonist wouldn't be the most outstanding disciple.
While the male protagonist would achieve great things in the future, he was also too prone to causing trouble. She didn't want the Lingxiao Sword Sect to become collateral damage again.
Before taking Cong'er away, Lin Yan gave Yang Cong's parents a martial arts cultivation technique and some pills.
"I know you won't let go of your past grievances just like that. Cong'er and I will be cultivators from now on, and it's not appropriate for us to interfere in mortal affairs. This is for you two, and I hope it will be of some help."
"Fairy Wangshu has already helped my husband and me a great deal," Madam Yang said gratefully.
Thanks to the elixirs provided by Wangyou, Yang Daxia's injuries had completely healed. His name was Yang Zheng, and he was once a disciple of a prominent sect in the martial world.
Now, he was like a drowned dog in the martial arts community. His former "close friends" had all kicked him while he was down, and very few had offered any assistance during his downfall.
It was with Lin Yan's help that their family could be reunited. Now that she was thinking of them so considerately, they were deeply indebted.
Lin Yan truly didn't seem like someone who understood the ways of cultivators, at least not like the aloof cultivators they knew.
"In the future, I will have many things that require your help," Lin Yan stated, as she lacked sufficient personnel.
Yang Cong would become her disciple, and his parents were trustworthy. Entrusting some matters to them would be convenient.
Especially since they only knew martial arts and had no cultivation base, they would not arouse any suspicion from others.
"What kind of matters? If you have any requests, we will absolutely fulfill them," Madam Yang immediately replied.
"There's no rush. First, improve your martial arts. I'll tell you what needs to be done later," Lin Yan said before taking Cong'er and bidding them farewell.
"Master, where are we going?" Cong'er looked up at Lin Yan. He trusted her implicitly, especially since Lin Yan had helped him find his parents.
"To my sect. Although my master hasn't returned yet, I've already sent her a message. I'm bringing you to the sect now to register you." Such a single-spirit root genius was something their sect couldn't afford to miss.
Thus, when she informed Xu Lan that she had found a single-spirit root future disciple and would accept him into the sect upon her approval, she immediately received a reply, urging her to bring Cong'er into the sect as soon as possible.
Lin Yan's journey with Cong'er this time was not only to confirm his disciple status but also to facilitate her own move.
She could no longer comfortably reside in the disciples' quarters. While it was fine for her to live there alone, she couldn't do so if she were to take in a disciple.
In the future, she could even find some outer disciples to help her with certain tasks, which was a privilege granted to her upon reaching the Golden Core stage.
However, she hadn't expected that the moment she arrived at the sect, she would encounter someone undergoing their Golden Core tribulation.
The disciple undergoing the Golden Core tribulation was one of Lin Yan's junior brothers. He was nearly thirty years old, and at that age, undergoing the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation was considered quite young.
If not for comparing himself to Lin Yan, the monstrous genius, he was currently looking nervously at the tribulation clouds above, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
The lightning tribulation the senior disciple had endured was still fresh in his memory. Now that it was his turn, he truly understood how terrifying the heavenly tribulation was.
He had prepared himself to face his tribulation, with elders standing guard not too far away.
When Lin Yan arrived, the disciple undergoing the tribulation seemed to relax somewhat upon seeing her.
Even though Senior Sister was only at the Golden Core stage, with her presence, he felt a sense of reassurance.
He offered Lin Yan a smile, "Senior Sister, I will strive to catch up to you. I will absolutely not let the entire burden of the sect fall solely on your shoulders."
