After Hu-Tai-Min had left, Zheng-Fu began to cultivate and vigorously absorb the remaining Rainbow Mushroom's energy. Because he only had one week left, before he got out of this Heavenly Command Secret Land, Zheng-Fu had to become an advanced Heavenly Golden Core stage cultivator.

Wooooooosh!!!

A week later...

Yaaaaak!!!

Booooom!!!

The seventh level of the Heavenly Golden Core stage!

"Finally, just in time! Oh... I've become a drug addict now, haven't I?"

After another week, finally, Zheng-Fu had been successfully promoted to the seventh level of the Heavenly Golden Core stage cultivator. However, to level up his energy, he had to consume quite a lot of divine pills. Those were five pills of fourth-level medicine, Purple Heavenly Demon Divine Pills; three pills of third-level medicine, Heaven Core Created Divine Pills; and fifteen pills of second-level medicine, Heaven Cloud Divine Pills.

"Today is the day I have to leave this secret land. Sigh! Three months is too fast. But it was such a good time. And I also got a lot of items back with me. Especially the gravity field that can help in cultivating better than any place in this secret land!"

And then came the day when Zheng-Fu had to go back to the outside world. Three months passed quickly, but it made Zheng-Fu much stronger. From the initial Heavenly Foundation Building stage, he was promoted to the advanced Heavenly Golden Core stage.

On the other side of the entrance to Heavenly Command Secret Land...

"It's been three months since that kid entered the secret land. I wonder how much he's gained in these three months," said the Fifth Elder. He had high expectations of Zheng-Fu. He hoped that Zheng-Fu would come back this time with quite a lot of improvement.

"Three months might be short, but three months inside this secret land is equivalent to half a year in the outside world. Because of the energy density and the large number of resources contained in the place, those who enter to cultivate can develop twice as fast as others, and before that young man went in, his energy level was only at the initial Heavenly Foundation Building stage. By the time he comes out this time, he should be able to advance another three or four levels!"

When the Fifth Elder finished speaking, the Second Elder interrupted. He had expected Zheng-Fu as well and hoped that Zheng-Fu could increase at least three or four energy levels.

Wooooooosh!!!

Ah!!!

While the elders were talking about Zheng-Fu's development, at the entrance to Heavenly Command Secret Land, a young man slowly walked out. And he was Zheng-Fu. But what made the Five Pillar Elders shocked and stunned was Zheng-Fu's current energy level, which was far beyond their expectations.

"How... how is it possible!? How did he become a Heavenly Golden Core stage cultivator!!?"

"In just three months, he can level up one stage instead of a few levels?"

"Unbelievable! Could it be because of the deep red-light talent?"

"If the devil sects and the demon sects knew about this, they would definitely give everything they had to get rid of him. So, we can't let outsiders know about this matter!" While the other elders were amazed, the First Elder spoke up to draw everyone's consciousness back.

"Respect, Master Five Pillar Elders. I'm back, sir!" Zheng-Fu walked up to the front of the five elders and clasped his hands together to greet them humbly.

Mm!!!

"Kid, you must have found some luck within Heavenly Command Secret Land, so your energy levels increased this much in just three months, right!?" As always, the Fifth Elder asked first. Because he was the only person who usually talked to Zheng-Fu.

"A little bit, Elder. Because I've come across great herbs that increase my energy, and I've also found a place that allows me to develop faster. So, my energy level has increased so quickly, sir!" Zheng-Fu could only tell a few details. He did not want the five elders to know the truth about Hu-Tai-Min and the four races within the secret land.

Huh?

"Why do I feel the smell of Rainbow Mushroom? Or did you also meet Rainbow Mushroom?" spoke up the Third Elder, as he smelled the Rainbow Mushroom on Zheng-Fu's body.

"Yes, sir, Third Elder! I found a low-quality Rainbow Mushroom. And I used it to increase energy levels, so the Rainbow Mushroom smell is still on me!" Zheng-Fu immediately turned around to answer the Third Elder. He did not think to hide anything about the Rainbow Mushroom; he just did not say that he used a good-quality Rainbow Mushroom.

Oh!

"You really are lucky. Did you know that Rainbow Mushroom is extremely rare? Since it takes hundreds of years to grow and thousands of years to mature. Even as a low-quality mushroom, it can benefit a lot to the one who consumes it. Unfortunately, you used it too quickly. If it were concocted into divine medicine, I think it would be even better!" continued the Third Elder excitedly and sadly at the same time, because if Zheng-Fu had kept the Rainbow Mushroom to concoct it with other herbs, the effect would probably be several times greater.

"Actually, I still have five more mushrooms. I've kept them to give to the five of you as a thank-you for allowing me to enter the Heavenly Command Secret Land, sir," said Zheng-Fu. He had already thought about this, so he had gathered a large number of Rainbow Mushrooms. And he got twenty low-quality Rainbow Mushrooms. So, he decided to share them with the five elders.

Huh!?

"You'll give them to us? Is this a good idea for you?"

"Right! You also know how valuable these Rainbow Mushrooms are to you, and you're still willing to give them to us!?"

Both the Fifth Elder and the Third Elder spoke in astonishment.

"I've thought about it. In addition to these Rainbow Mushrooms, I also have these lumps of ore to give to our Heavenly Command Sect!" In addition to five Rainbow Mushrooms, Zheng-Fu also took out ten thousand lumps of Abyssal Flake Ore from his dimensional ring before he handed them over to the Grand Elder.

Huh?

"This is Abyssal Flake Ore? And also, up to ten thousand lumps?"

Abyssal Flake Ore!!?

Ten thousand lumps of Abyssal Flake Ore!!!

When everyone knew what kind of ore Zheng-Fu had given the sect, the five elders' eyes widened at the same time. Since Abyssal Flake Ore was an extremely rare ore. Not only could it be used to concoct pills, but it could also be forged into advanced weapons and armor. And having more than ten thousand lumps of Abyssal Flake Ore like this could help the Heavenly Command Sect become much stronger.

"That's right, Elders. These are Abyssal Flake Ore lumps. I've met them in Heavenly Command Secret Land. And I think it might be useful for our sect because I can see that our sect is now starting to go down a lot. If possible, I would like to see our Heavenly Command Sect return to the top of the Sacred Sect again!"

Hah!!!

Zheng-Fu's words stunned the five elders. They did not expect Zheng-Fu to have such thoughts. If it were other youths, they would not be so thoughtful of the public. Especially for someone from the Small World, it was even more impossible.

"Right now, you have become an advanced Heavenly Golden Core stage cultivator. So, you have the right to be promoted to be the main disciple. It's up to you to choose to be the main disciple or to want to be the inner disciple first. However, we'll not announce this to prevent unforeseen events that may occur. As for the Abyssal Flake Ore that you gave to the sect, we'll repay you by asking you to tell us three things you want. No matter what items we can give you, we'll find them for you right away. But it must be something that we can find!"

With Zheng-Fu's level, he was now qualified to be a main disciple. But he could choose to be an inner disciple first. Because most of the disciples who were promoted to be main disciples would join the test when they were already at the Heavenly Star stage. As for the Abyssal Flake Ores that Zheng-Fu had given them, one of the Elders told him that he could freely choose three items or make three requests, as long as they were within their capability.

"Thank you, Elder. I choose to be the inner disciple, sir. Because I want to make my reputation known first. And I'll wait until I have an energy level at the Heavenly Star stage before I take the test as a main disciple, sir. As for the rewards that you guys will give me, I still don't know what to ask. So, can I think about it first?" Zheng-Fu replied, explaining all the reasons. And he chose to be an inner disciple first because he thought that there would be a lot of fun things for him to do.

"All right! Then, do as you wish. We won't force you. As for the people you asked us to protect, they live with Disciple Jiang-Long now. You can go to see them at Jiang-Long's residence in the northern zone!" The First Elder nodded and smiled contentedly at Zheng-Fu's answer before he told him about the whereabouts of Chang-Yue and Tai-He.

"I've got to thank Elders once again. Then I excuse myself, sir!" Seeing nothing else to deal with anymore, Zheng-Fu bid farewell to the five elders. He then immediately soared towards the disciple's manor in the northern zone. His speed was now even higher than that of the advanced Heavenly Star stage cultivator.

Whoosh!!!

"This kid will definitely become our sect's new hope and future!"

"Yes! We must do everything to protect and help him as much as we can, especially to protect him from those dark organizations that lurk in our sect. Even though they didn't move during this time, they didn't disappear from our sect. If they knew that he had returned, they would have started moving!"

"Then, should we send her to protect him?"

Huh?

"Send her to be his protector? And will she agree? A person like her, even the sectmaster, couldn't give an order. Then how can we…"

"I'll go! I'll take on this task myself!"

"Young Miss!!!"

"Young Miss Xiao-Yue!!!"
