Lu Yi looked at the task module on his interface, which displayed the completed tasks.

    </ul>


    There was a total of four tasks, and the rewards for each were quite generous.


    Lu Yi claimed the rewards one by one.


    The entrance examination reward included Water Spirit Liquid and the White Spirit Belt. The Water Spirit Liquid required no explanation. Lu Yi already had Thunder Spirit Liquid, and with the addition of Water Spirit Liquid, he could enhance his talents in both thunder and water techniques when he reached Foundation Establishment.


    Since he had a spatial ring, Lu Yi directly attempted to store the task rewards in it. It turned out to be feasible. Seeing the Water Spirit Liquid appear in his spatial ring, Lu Yi revealed a satisfied smile.


    From now on, materializing task rewards would be more discreet and harder for others to notice.


    The White Spirit Belt was a white belt that could be worn around the waist. It reduced body weight and increased speed, making it a very useful magical artifact. Lu Yi happily fastened it around his waist.


    Currently, Lu Yi owned six magical artifacts, including the high-grade Purple Jade Bell and the mid-grade Flowing Cloud Boots. The White Spirit Belt was now added to his collection, all obtained as task rewards.


    His father had previously bought him a low-grade longsword, which he initially owned. Additionally, the competition awarded him a low-grade Yellow Earth Shield, a defensive artifact. Although small in size, it offered decent protection, capable of withstanding an attack from a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Lastly, he had the high-grade Green Spirit Sword, gifted by the Lingluo Peak Master.


    With the Green Spirit Sword in hand, the low-grade longsword from his father was retired and sealed at the bottom of his spatial ring.


    Though he couldn''t claim to be equipped entirely with treasures, he felt adequately prepared. Lu Yi was quite satisfied.


    The reward for meeting the Lingluo Peak Master was 10 drops of Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk. Lu Yi still had some left from his sparring match with Senior Brother Jiang Fan, but having more was always better. He could now cultivate directly with Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk without relying on Perfect Qi Condensing Pills.


    Such resources for cultivation were exceptionally luxurious. Lu Yi figured he might be the most extravagant cultivator in the entire White Cloud Sect.


    Fortunately, Lu Yi maintained a low profile, so no one knew about his resources; otherwise, fellow disciples would surely envy him to death.


    He stored the 10 drops of Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk in his spatial ring as well.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    The reward for becoming the Lingluo Peak Master''s registered disciple was extraordinarily generous, surpassing even the first-place competition rewards.


    He received the Foundation Establishment spell ''Concealment Technique,'' a top-grade flying artifact ''Wind Breath Boat,'' 5 drops of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, and 1 drop of Fire Spirit Liquid. It was an absolute windfall.


    Just the top-grade flying artifact, Wind Breath Boat, was worth more than an average low-grade treasure. Even Golden Core cultivators rarely possessed such a high-quality flying artifact.


    The Wind Breath Boat was a palm-sized, cyan-colored boat. To use it, one simply needed to input spiritual power, enlarge the boat, and ride it.


    Its speed was astonishingly fast, making it difficult for even Golden Core cultivators to catch up. Combined with the thousand-mile talisman gifted by the Peak Master earlier, Lu Yi felt that if he needed to escape, even Golden Core cultivators wouldn''t be able to stop him. As for Nascent Soul cultivators... well, maybe he''d feel slightly nervous.


    Lu Yi suddenly snapped out of it and realized how ridiculous his thoughts were.


    ''I''m only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Why am I already treating Nascent Soul experts as potential enemies?'' he thought.


    ''This is absurd. From now on, I should only consider Qi Refining disciples as my opponents!''


    He silently reflected on his thoughts.


    In addition, he now had 5 drops of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk. With 1 drop from breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining earlier, he now had 6 drops in total. These were far more precious than Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk.


    As for the Fire Spirit Liquid, Lu Yi already possessed Thunder and Water Spirit Liquids. Adding Fire Spirit Liquid would further solidify his foundation during Foundation Establishment.


    Finally, there was the Foundation Establishment spell ''Concealment Technique.'' After absorbing the information, Lu Yi understood its function.


    Similar to the ''Dust Forgetting Technique,'' it was a special spell focused on concealing one''s aura. It not only hid cultivation levels but also masked movement traces, making it harder for others to detect.


    This technique was an essential tool for the cautious and scheming. Though Lu Yi was not old, he quite liked the Concealment Technique. He resolved to prioritize mastering it alongside the Dust Forgetting Technique.


    The rewards from this task left Lu Yi in high spirits. After storing all the rewards, he claimed the final task''s prize.


    The reward for purchasing Magnolia Pastries and Magnolia Wine for the Peak Master was entirely new to Lu Yi—Spiritual Food Cooking and Spiritual Wine Brewing techniques, branches of alchemy.


    To Lu Yi, learning additional skills was always beneficial. He figured he could experiment with these techniques during his spare time—they might come in handy someday.


    Upon claiming the reward, a flood of information about these techniques entered his mind.


    The knowledge covered the fundamentals of Spiritual Food Cooking and Spiritual Wine Brewing, giving Lu Yi a foundational understanding.


    These techniques, as branches of alchemy, differed from traditional pill-making. While alchemy prioritized medicinal effects and rapid efficacy, it often came with side effects like pill toxins.


    In contrast, spiritual food and wine focused on both flavor and medicinal effects. They worked gently within the body, allowing lower-level cultivators to consume higher-level products safely. For example, Nascent Soul-level spiritual food and wine could be enjoyed by Golden Core cultivators in moderation.


    However, the same couldn''t be said for pills. A Nascent Soul-level pill could seriously injure a Golden Core cultivator and might even prove fatal.


    Another advantage of spiritual food and wine was their minimal toxin levels, rivaling Perfect Pills, which were extremely rare and valuable.


    That said, spiritual food and wine had their drawbacks. Despite processing, they utilized resources less efficiently than pills, leading to wastage. This was why most cultivators preferred pills—resources were expensive, and cultivation was costly.


    Unless one was wealthy, indulging in spiritual food and wine was considered extravagant.


    The information also included hand techniques and skills, along with recipes for Qi Refining-level spiritual food and wine.


    Upon seeing the recipes, Lu Yi''s eyes widened with a hint of amusement.
