Heavenly Harem: Raising My Disciple With Infinite Dual Cultivation

Chapter 137: CH. 137 | Tiangong And Danxia Mountain

Upon arriving at that mountain, Lin Tian noticed ornaments and pillars bearing statues of sacred creatures from the cultivation world, creatures like the Qilin, dragons, phoenixes, and the tortoise.

He walked further ahead, passing through the front courtyard where the right and left sides were filled with buildings and forging houses.

Lin Tian attention wasn’t on those buildings, but on the hall building ahead.

"Tiangong Mountain and the Artifact Refinement and Forging Hall," Lin Tian said.

Hearing that, Yun Yun stepped quickly from her position and stood beside Lin Tian.

She was looking toward the hall ahead, but her attention actually drifted to the side, toward the forging houses.

"What’s that?" Yun Yun asked.

Lin Tian looked in the same direction and explained the place to the black-haired woman.

"Those are forging houses. By forging several low-grade artifacts together, you have a chance of producing artifacts of higher quality."

"So the field of artifact refinement doesn’t just refine an artifact’s essence, but can also create new artifacts?"

"That’s right," Lin Tian replied. "Artifact studies is the hardest of all the fields. But the strength it yields is worth it."

He glanced to the side and trusted that Yun Yun would be able to handle that hall well. Yun Yun smiled, pressed her hands together, and bowed her head obediently.

Lin Tian handed her the jade token. She received it and activated it right away by channeling her spiritual qi.

The jade token lit up, accompanied by white light shining brightly from the hall’s peak, specifically from the jade mounted there.

[Congratulations! Host has received a Disciple Task]

[2nd Yun Yun Disciple Task:]

[Objective: Learn one artifact refinement technique and one artifact forging technique within one year]

[Reward:]

[Disciple: Chance to break through cultivation stage || +150 Low-Grade Spirit Stones || 15% increase in artifact refinement and forging success rate || +10 Emotional Level]

[Status: Incomplete!]

A new mission for Yun Yun. She and Ji Xue had received their disciple tasks right after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

"I’ll give you another mission soon. For now, stay here and get to know this hall well."

Yun Yun turned and nodded obediently. She was happy to receive a hall head position and would train and study hard.

Lin Tian acknowledged it with a nod. Shortly after, he left Yun Yun behind and headed to the next mountain, located close to Tiangong Mountain.

From a distance, they could see the hall building shaped like a cauldron.

The area surrounding the mountain’s peak was overgrown with vegetation and wild medicinal plants, lush and green, with a river flowing around the mountain.

"That must be the Pill Refinement Hall," Luo Mei said.

"Correct."

They arrived at the mountain and stood at the cauldron-shaped hall building.

Luo Mei stepped forward and stood near Lin Tian, reading clearly the name of the mountain and the name of the hall on the building’s plaque.

"Danxia Mountain and the Pill Refinement Hall," Luo Mei said.

Even so, there was a worry in her heart seeing the building.

The Pill Refinement Hall had been established before any of the other halls existed, and the person responsible for it had been Wu Yue.

Luo Mei was confused about it, unsure whether Lin Tian would hand the jade token to her or leave it with Wu Yue. Her attention drifted to Lin Tian.

"About this... will you be giving it to me, or how will this work, Master Lin?"

Lin Tian reached out his hand and produced the token, letting it float above his palm. He presented the jade token to Luo Mei.

"You’ll be the one responsible for the Pill Refinement Hall."

"M-Me? But what about Master Wu?" Luo Mei asked.

"I have a different position for her."

He held the token out to Luo Mei. She was still confused about what was happening, unsure how to respond.

She worried that if she accepted the jade token and became Head of the Pill Refinement Hall, Wu Yue would be upset with her.

Lin Tian noticed the hesitation on Luo Mei’s face. He turned and walked to the edge of the mountain, calling out Wu Yue’s name loud and clear.

"Wu Yue!"

"Come to me," Lin Tian said.

Wu Yue, who had been overseeing the new cultivators, heard it and immediately flew away from the front courtyard of Wind Dragon Peak.

She heard Lin Tian’s voice coming from the second mountain on the left side of the sect’s peak and flew straight toward it.

She arrived and saw that the mountain was home to the Pill Refinement Hall, far wider and more magnificent than it had been before.

"What is it, Lin Tian?" Wu Yue asked.

"I’m planning to give the hall head position to Mei’er. What do you think?"

Wu Yue turned and looked at Luo Mei, her eyes narrowing as she tried to work out how to respond.

But when she looked back toward Lin Tian, the serious expression on his face said something else entirely.

"You did promise to make me the Head of your Pill Refinement Hall, Lin Tian."

"But... I have something better to offer than just Head of the Pill Refinement Hall."

"What is it?" Lin Tian asked.

"I want to be a core elder and teach the disciples in the future," Wu Yue said. "What do you think?"

Lin Tian went quiet for a moment, then gave a short nod of agreement. The position of core elder was indeed above simply being Head of the Pill Refinement Hall.

She would have the opportunity to help manage the sect and train talented students, not just Luo Mei.

The core elder title would also allow her to weigh in on anything related to the Field of Study Halls, of course with sound and reasonable input.

"Of course."

Lin Tian turned and looked at Luo Mei, "Wu Yue will be a core elder of the Lingxian Sect. The Head of the Pill Refinement Hall position is open. Are you willing to fill it?"

Luo Mei went quiet for a moment, her attention fixed on Wu Yue. The woman smiled and gave a nod, welcoming Luo Mei to take the position.

"Alright. If that’s your decision, I’ll accept it."

[2nd Luo Mei Disciple Task:]

[Objective: Create 2 Tier One pills within three months]

[Reward:]

[Disciple: Chance to break through cultivation stage || +150 Low-Grade Spirit Stones || 1x Low-Grade Earth Flame || +10 Emotional Level]

[Host: Chance to break through cultivation stage || +300 Low-Grade Spirit Stones || 1x Tier Two Pill]

[Status: Completed!]

[Status Vision:]

[Name: Luo Mei]

[Emotional Level: Attraction (47/250)] [+10]

Right when Luo Mei agreed to accept the position, the disciple task panel appeared once more. Lin Tian’s attention went to it and he received the rewards.

Four rewards appeared in front of Lin Tian. Two of them were a glass jar containing a Low-Grade Earth Flame and a wooden box containing a tier-two pill.

For himself, he had no need for either since his cultivation base was already high. He chose to hand both to Luo Mei, asking her to keep them well.

Luo Mei received them and looked at them with a surprised face, then the corners of her lips rose into a smile as she thanked Lin Tian for the gifts.

"Thank you, Master Lin. I’ll work hard to look after this Pill Refinement Hall for you."

[3rd Luo Mei Disciple Task:]

[Objective: Create three cultivation pills within one year, must be tier-two pills]

[Reward:]

[Disciple: Chance to break through cultivation stage || +150 Low-Grade Spirit Stones || 1x Profound-Grade Pill Refinement Technique || +10 Emotional Level]

[Host: Chance to break through cultivation stage || +300 Low-Grade Spirit Stones || 1x Tier-3 Pill]

[Status: Incomplete!]

"I’ll give you another mission soon. For now, stay here and train, Mei’er."

"Understood, Master Lin."

Lin Tian turned and looked at the three people in front of him: An Yue, Cao Ying, and Wu Yue.

Since the last mountain was home to the Technique and Weapon Hall, the only one who rightfully belonged there was An Yue.

For that reason, Lin Tian chose to take her there alone.

"Wu Yue. Cao Ying. Head back and keep an eye on the cultivators outside who want to join," Lin Tian said.

"I’ll take Yue’er to her hall myself," Lin Tian added.

Both of them nodded obediently, "Understood, Lin Tian."
