More importantly, with their solid Foundations, pure spiritual energy, and mastery of techniques, they were no longer the novices who had just begun Cultivating!
Eight years of bitter Cultivation inside the pagoda (coupled with massive resources) and the careful guidance of the Elders had produced terrifying results.
Gu Luoli and Ye Linger were the last to walk out; Liu Ruyan was not among them, as she was clearly still in secluded meditation.
The golden light in Gu Luoli's Double Pupils was restrained, her Aura as calm as a deep abyss, and her cultivation had firmly reached the Late Golden Core Stage.
Ye Linger's progress was the most shocking; after her Taiyin Divine Body was fully activated, her Cultivation of the Taiyin Treasure Codex had advanced by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, she had actually caught up from behind, reaching the late-stage Foundation Establishment!
As all the Disciples lined up in the square before the pagoda, without a word, an invisible Aura as sharp as a sword condensed.
It was the confidence and edge naturally formed after long periods of bitter Cultivation and rigorous tempering.
Outside the pagoda, Yun Yun had long been waiting.
Looking at the vibrant faces and feeling the surging sharpness emanating from them, she was very satisfied.
"All Disciples who have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage or above may go to the storehouse today to select one Yellow Rank top grade Magical Artifact."
As Yun Yun's voice fell,
a brighter light immediately burst from the eyes of the Disciples who had just finished their bitter Cultivation.
Selecting a Magical Artifact!
For these Disciples who had just Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage,
a Yellow Rank top grade Magical Artifact would not only greatly enhance their combat power but was also a form of recognition and reward.
In the cultivation world, many Loose Cultivators or even Disciples of small Sects might not even possess one by the Golden Core Stage.
Yet they, having just entered Foundation Establishment, could choose any top grade item from the storehouse!
This was the Foundation of the Yaochi Immortal Palace!
"Now, all Disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage or above, follow me."
Yun Yun smiled slightly at the excited expressions on the Disciples' faces and turned to lead the way.
More than eighty Foundation Establishment Disciples suppressed their excitement and lined up neatly, following Yun Yun toward the storehouse deep within the Immortal Palace.
The storehouse was located to the west of the Main Hall, an ancient-looking grand hall.
However, the complex Formation runes flowing on the hall doors and the faint Aura they emitted all showed the extraordinary nature of this place.
Yun Yun took out a jade talisman carved with cloud patterns and pressed it into the center of the hall doors.
"Buzz..."
The Formation runes on the doors slowly shifted and separated, and the heavy doors slid open silently inward.
A strange scent, a mixture of cold metal and the fresh fragrance of spiritual wood, wafted toward them.
The Disciples held their breath and followed Yun Yun into the hall.
The view suddenly opened up!
The interior of the grand hall was far more spacious than it appeared from the outside.
Rows of red sandalwood shelves several zhang high were neatly arranged and categorized.
On the left shelves, various weapons were neatly displayed: long swords, short blades, battle sabers, long spears, bows and arrows... they glinted coldly, with spiritual power contained within.
In the middle area were defensive Magical Artifacts: shields, armor, capes, inner vests, jade pendants... they glowed with radiant colors, their runes faintly visible.
On the right were various functional auxiliary Magical Artifacts: flying boat models, Formation Plates, compasses, Medicine Cauldrons, Pill Furnaces, and more.
All the Magical Artifacts were enveloped in soft spiritual light, quietly floating in their respective positions.
Most eye-catching was an area deep within the storehouse shrouded by a Formation.
Within the Formation, the outlines of several Magical Artifacts with even older and deeper Auras could be vaguely seen.
Those were clearly treasures that surpassed the Yellow Rank and reached the Profound Rank level!
