Inside the cottage, Zi Hua Shang suppressed her sadness and said, "Master, wait for me. I will give you half of the wealth in my storage pouch."
Then, she checked the contents of the pouch and handed over half of the wealth to Ling Xian.
However, just as she was about to take out the shocking amount of wealth, Ling Xian shook his head and waved his hand, "No. Even though the Headmaster wants me to accept it, I do not lack money. It is more useful for you to keep it."
"No, my father told you to accept it. How can I disobey?" Zi Hua Shang shook her head and insisted.
"You."
Ling Xian smiled helplessly. How much wealth has the House of Zi Yang accumulated over tens of thousands of years? Without a doubt, it was an astronomical number. Even if it was only half, it was still an unimaginable amount of wealth.
If it was any other cultivator, they would have eagerly agreed to it. However, Ling Xian was rich enough already. Plus, he didn't care much for these worldly possessions.
Therefore, he shook his head and said in a serious tone, "You keep it. I have no use for this wealth. But you are different. You need to rebuild the House of Zi Yang, and wealth is a must. "
"But …" Zi Hua Shang hesitated.
"No buts. To restore the House of Zi Yang to its former glory, you need not only people, but also a sea of wealth."
Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips and pointed outside the window, "The cultivators outside fought for the House of Zi Yang with their lives. Their loyalty is unquestionable. But now, the House of Zi Yang has been destroyed. If you want them to fight for a religion that doesn't exist, that is an impossible task. Therefore, you need to use these resources to recruit those people and help them increase their capabilities. Only then will you have a sliver of hope to rebuild the House of Zi Yang. "
"I …" Zi Hua Shang frowned, not understanding what Ling Xian was talking about.
"Maybe you don't understand right now. But when you get older, you will."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "You only need to understand one thing. Other than your family, nobody will do anything for you for free. Therefore, you need to use these resources to win over that group of people and establish your own prestige. Make them loyal to you until the day they die. Do you understand? "
"I understand, Young Master. Don't worry, I will do as you say." Zi Hua Shang bit her lips and nodded as if she understood.
"After all, she's still young. I think she's only seventeen."
Ling Xian silently sighed, knowing that Zi Hua Shang did not fully understand. This was normal. Not everyone was like him, able to have such a mature temperament at his age.
After all, time secret realms were rare in the world. Not everyone had such good luck to be able to experience the tempering of a hundred years and gain a wealth of experience for no reason.
"Alright, regardless of whether you really understand or not, just do as I say, and you'll understand in the future."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Then, he erased his smile and said in a serious tone, "I am going to go into isolation. During this period of time, no matter what happens, do not disturb me. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I will remember."
Zi Hua Shang nodded heavily. The way she looked at Ling Xian was full of gratitude, respect, and admiration. There was also a trace of dependence.
"Okay, you can go." Ling Xian waved his hand.
Nodding, Zi Hua Shang stared at Ling Xian deeply. Then, she picked up Zi Ying Xiong and left the room.
"Next, it's time for me to think about what I want to do." Ling Xian frowned and began to think about his future.
After the destruction of the Zi Yang House, he had realized that his cultivation level was not enough. After becoming the victor of the foundational level, if he unleashes all his Qi, he would not be weaker than a completion leveled cultivator. Even if he had to fight one against two, he would not lose.
This was something that could be seen from his battle against Li Jian Yi and Ning Wu Ji.
However, he was only able to not lose. He could not kill a completion leveled cultivator. After all, the Qi inside his body had undergone a qualitative change after breaking through to the undefeatable realm. However, compared to the completion leveled Qi, there was still a gap.
This slight difference made him feel an unprecedented sense of helplessness and desire when Zi Dong Lai died.
"It looks like I have to hurry and break through to the completion level."
Ling Xian thought about it and decided to increase his cultivation level to the completion level. Only then will he truly have the ability to rule the 36 islands. When he faces off against completion leveled cultivators, he will be able to kill them right away.
On top of that, the entire Shi Ao Island has fallen into the hands of the two controlling forces. If he wants to protect Zi Hua Shang and the others, he must break through to the completion level. Or else, he will have to act like before and ensure his own safety.
"Completion level …"
Ling Xian's eyes flashed with yearning as he mumbled to himself, "I heard that to break through to this level requires a very long time. The first step of turning my Qi into a Golden Dan will take at least a year. After that, there are many more steps. I have to break the Immortal Trap before I can break through. "
"I wonder how long I will need to go into isolation. Maybe two to three years." Ling Xian frowned and mumbled, "If I am in isolation and the two controlling forces find me, then wouldn't I and the Yun Clan be in danger?"
But very quickly, he suppressed this concern. Because whether or not he breaks through, the two controlling forces will find him. If he breaks through, then he will have the ability to fight against them. If he doesn't, then only death awaits him.
What's the point of hesitating?
"I have decided. I will notify Brother Yun and Yun Yan first. Just in case they accidentally disturb me." Ling Xian made up his mind. In a flash, he disappeared from his room.
First, he went to Yun Hai's residence and told him about his breakthrough. Then, he went to Yun Yan's room and told her everything again.
Then, Ling Xian did not return to his cottage. Instead, he went to the mountain range behind the Forest of Purple Bamboo.
Here, ancient trees reached into the sky and mountains rose and fell. Countless beasts lurked there. However, Ling Xian had investigated a year ago. There were no powerful beasts here. The strongest beast was merely of the eighth realm.
Plus, it had been beaten into submission by him.
"Da Hei, Er Hong, San Bai, come out!"
The moment Ling Xian stepped into the mountain range, he shouted. Afraid that the beasts couldn't hear him, he used the Heaven Howling White Tiger.
An invisible sound wave expanded like a hurricane. The ancient trees before him were all broken.
Instantly, the entire mountain range quaked!
Countless beasts trembled as they looked towards the source of the sound. Their eyes were full of fear.
Even the three kings reacted the same. It wasn't because the tiger's howl was too terrifying, it was because they recognized whose voice it was.
My god!
Why is that terrifying human here again?!
At this moment, countless beasts prostrated themselves on the ground. Every beast that had gained intelligence had the same thought flash through their minds.
