Amalia respectfully replied, "Master, what I need to report today is related to the Natural Flame. I found Solarian flames in the Double Cavern Secret Realm."
"You’re quite fortunate. The Solarian Flames is one of the best high-quality Natural Flames. Obtaining it will greatly improve your skills in refining artifacts. However..."
Her master’s tone shifted as her sharp gaze fell on her sword.
"This blade of yours doesn’t seem like something that could be improved by just the Solarian flames. Did you add some other materials to it?"
"Nothing could escape your eyes, Master. I also added Golden Solarian Tree’s branch," Amalia replied honestly.
Senior Tian Wuya paused for half a second, "You got a Golden Solarian Tree in the secret realm? Was it just a branch?"
"No, it was a whole tree. It should bear fruit in about ten years, but if we feed it with spirit stones or spiritual energy, that time could be shortened."
This answer was something Senior Tian Wuya hadn’t expected.
"Surprised, huh?" Kenny Lin said, clearly enjoying the moment.
Senior Tian Wuya gave him a glance but didn’t say anything.
With a hint of regret, she said, "It’s a shame. You probably couldn’t bring the whole Golden Solarian Tree out, so did you cut it into sections? Using it for refining a spiritual artifact is a bit wasteful. The Golden Solarian Tree is actually one of the main materials for making divine artifacts."
Amalia then took out the entire Golden Solarian Tree, and in an instant, a ten-meter-tall tree appeared on the ground.
The tree was dotted with dozens of small green fruits, each about the size of an adult woman’s fist.
They glowed with a fresh green color, as clear and bright as jade.
Since neither of them had their own mountain to grow the Golden Solarian Tree on, it would be impossible to hide it from the other members of the Green Lotus Sect.
As for the existence of the Soltice Ring, spatial rings that could contain living creatures weren’t unheard of on the Mystic Void Continent, so they could easily come up with an excuse.
"A spatial ring that can store a Golden Solarian Tree?" Senior Tian Wuya’s attention was drawn to the ring that could hold the Golden Solarian Tree.
Though the Golden Solarian Tree was impressive, it wasn’t of much use to her.
"It was just something I got by chance," Amalia explained.
She originally thought it was a family heirloom, but since the Soltice Ring came from the Mystic Void Continent, it must have been obtained by her ancestors by accident.
Senior Tian Wuya nodded, "You won’t be able to take care of this Golden Solarian Tree."
"That’s why I wanted to ask you, Master, to decide. This Golden Solarian Tree was something Kenny Lin and I found together," Amalia said, already anticipating this.
"Then let the Green Lotus Sect handle it. We don’t plant trees on Nameless Peak," Senior Tian Wuya said straightforwardly, clearly bending the truth.
"I understand, Master. Besides the Golden Solarian Tree, I also didn’t disappoint you and managed to kill several powerful devil prodigies," Amalia replied.
Senior Tian Wuya nodded her head with satisfaction, "Qing Huacheng already told me about that. For now, you should avoid the devil battlefield and focus on some quiet meditation."
"I will, Master," Amalia said respectfully.
Just as they were about to leave, Senior Tian Wuya added one last thing.
"The fewer people who know about the Soltice Ring, the better it is for you."
"Thank you, Master," Amalia said.
After they descended the mountain, Amalia remarked, "So the Soltice Ring really is a spatial ring that could hold living things."
A storage space that could hold living things was obviously extraordinary, and now it was confirmed by Senior Tian Wuya himself.
"No one will ever be able to take what belongs to you," Kenny Lin said with a determined look.
Then he added, "And that includes things that don’t belong to you."
"Do you have to show off your low IQ every day?" Amalia asked sarcastically.
Kenny Lin snorted lightly, "How could I... well, maybe just once."
Amalia was speechless, "...You win."
On the Upper Nine Peaks, the world was a snowy and icy place.
Compared to Nameless Peak, it was even colder and harsher.
The wind howled, carrying large snowflakes, and the icy chill was almost as bad as the rain at Nameless Peak.
This wasn’t a cold that could be managed with just spiritual power.
It felt like the dampness could seep through thick cotton clothes, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
Master Lian had already received the message from Sect Leader Qing.
When they met him, he knew everything that had happened.
"You did well, but what’s up with your cultivation level?"
When they left, Kenny Lin was at the mid-stage of Golden Core, but now he had already at the Peak Golden Cores stage.
Although it looked like he had just advanced, breaking through two levels in one month was unheard of.
Kenny Lin blinked, "It’s because of my exceptional talent. No one else can match it."
"Stop boasting. It’s good to improve, but be careful not to just have high cultivation while other aspects lag behind," Master Lian said, still quite pleased with his disciple.
"Understood, Master. We obtained a Golden Solarian Tree. Senior Tian Wuya said you should decide what to do with it. Where do you think we should plant it?" Kenny Lin quickly got to the point.
Since Sect Leader Qing hadn’t reported this matter, it meant he was unaware of it.
Master Lian was starting to view them with increasing respect.
"Is it really a complete one?"
Amalia took out the Golden Solarian Tree, which was nearly perfect except for one branch she had cut off.
Seeing the whole Golden Solarian Tree appear out of nowhere, Master Lian immediately understood Senior Tian Wuya’s intentions.
"If you want to hide the existence of the Soltice Ring, you can’t say you got it from the Double Cavern Secret Realm. But the credit will still go to you. Anyone who wants the Golden Solarian Tree for refining needs your approval."
