Seeing that her grandfather did not understand the situation, Zhang Wenxuan realized that Zhang Zhiyi did not comprehend what had actually happened within the Small World. This confusion was only to be expected.
Following closely, Zhang Wenxuan also took care to explain the origins of the events to her grandfather with great detail.
In the arduous training of the Small World, Lin Qian not only tailored unique Cultivation Techniques for each of them but also provided a variety of magical Potions for them to soak their bodies in and ingest.
This series of items had not only enhanced their strength but also excavated all of their untapped potential.
Otherwise, how could they have possibly improved by a Small Realm in just five months?
Moreover, Lin Qian had also crafted Soul Devices for them to wear, which were not only strong in defense but also incredibly stylish.
Just like Zhang Wenxuan’s dress, which utilized Ye Xin’s Starlight White Dress technique, it could emit a light blue fluorescence, looking quite dazzling.
Of course, the material and grade of Zhang Wenxuan’s dress could not be compared with the actual Starlight White Dress.
After listening to his granddaughter’s description, Zhang Zhiyi was surprised as he looked towards Lin Qian, wondering what kind of background Lin Qian had to be so miraculous.
His own granddaughter would naturally not deceive him, and it seemed indeed that they had made a huge profit from Lin Qian.
"It seems that we really should express our gratitude to Lin Qian," Zhang Zhiyi thought and, after pondering for a moment, said, "Later, I will send a Communication to the clan to have the information about the scriptures sent here and made into copies to give to him."
After hearing this, Zhang Wenxuan nodded lightly and added, "Right, Grandfather, please pay attention to see if there are any called Body Refining Scriptures."
"Mhm, I will pay attention to it."
Not only Zhang Wenxuan, but Zhang Zide and Li Yunfeng also mentioned the Body Refining Scriptures to Zhang Tianxin and Zhou Yian respectively.
This was the small favor Lin Qian had asked them to do for him!
After all, Lin Qian had given them a great deal of help in their cultivation, and it would be quite unreasonable not to assist with this small matter.
And throughout their five months of rigorous training, they were deeply aware of the extent of Lin Qian’s help.
Therefore, their hearts were filled with gratitude towards Lin Qian.
Thus, after coming out of the Small World, the first thing they did was to help Lin Qian with his request to find the so-called Body Refining Scriptures.
"Lin Qian, my friend, it’s really unexpected that you brought such a great surprise," Zhang Tianxin said with evident excitement after coming to Lin Qian’s side.
Heading to that Ancient Human Clan relic, it was best if each team that entered had the strongest possible members.
After all, it was not very clear what was inside the Ancient Human Clan relic, nor was the situation inside known, and the outside world could not observe what was happening within.
Once a problem arose, the people outside could not offer any help, and one could only rely on oneself.
It was possible that one might encounter a life-or-death crisis inside.
Therefore, before the commencement of the grand event at the Ancient Human Clan relic, every increment in strength meant an increment in safety and certainly an increase in opportunity.
What Lin Qian brought was not just an improvement by one or two percent, but a hundredfold, so how could Zhang Tianxin not be overjoyed?

The clan elders who followed were also marveling and expressing their admiration.
Soon after, everyone dispersed, and Lin Qian returned to the Eastern Division Clan’s residence in the Saint City with Zhang Nianxin.
Along the way, Lin Qian learned about the affairs after the clan meeting from Zhang Nianxin.
The results of the three competitions saw the Clan seize first place in Artifact Refining. However, it was the Northern Division Clan that won first place in Alchemy, while the West Division Clan dominated in Arrays.
After the clan conference ended, the various factions still did not leave, because there was a Gambling Treasure Conference being prepared. It was estimated that the conference would be held before the grand meeting at the Ancient Human Clan ruins began.
As for Wu Chunshan, his request to see Lin Qian was unsuccessful, and Zhang Nianxin didn’t show him any kindness either, so he could only return without any achievements and left early.
"Before he left, he had a message he wanted me to pass on to you," Zhang Nianxin said solemnly as she looked at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian was curious and asked, "What did he say?"
"Push someone too hard, and you’ll regret it," Zhang Nianxin relayed Wu Chunshan’s exact words to Lin Qian.
After listening, Lin Qian’s face revealed a cold smirk, "Well, I’m truly sorry, but what I intend to do is to push people too hard. I’m actually worried that he won’t react at all."
"This..." A worried expression appeared on Zhang Nianxin’s face.
Seeing Zhang Nianxin’s look, Lin Qian smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m really not afraid of what he might do. In fact, I would love it if he went to Coastal State to stir up some trouble."
Seeing Lin Qian’s confident demeanor, Zhang Nianxin didn’t know what else to say.
After returning to the Eastern Division Clan’s mansion, it didn’t take long before Zhang Zhiyi brought Zhang Wenxuan to visit, with two objectives in mind, of course.
One was to thank Lin Qian specifically for his promotion of Zhang Wenxuan.
The other was to discuss the relationship between Zhang Qi and Zhang Wenxuan with Zhang Nianxin, prompting Lin Qian and Ye Xin to tease the two continuously on the side.
Two more days passed, and Zhang Tianxin and Zhou Yian also came together, with Zhang Zide and Li Yunfeng, of course, following behind them.
The reason for their visit was the same as Zhang Zhiyi’s from a few days ago, to specifically thank Lin Qian.
Especially Zhang Tianxin, who even gifted Lin Qian a substantial number of scriptures, at least fifty to sixty thousand volumes.
At the same time, Zhang Tianxin decided to increase the points Lin Qian earned in the clan conference to a staggering five hundred, allowing him to exchange them for anything he liked.
Without a second thought, Lin Qian converted all his points into Soul Crystals, which he sent into the Huaxia Empire for a rainy day, also to serve as capital for the Gambling Treasure Conference.
Earning Soul Crystals was also one of Lin Qian’s top priorities at this moment!
The grand event at the Ancient Human Clan ruins might still be slightly delayed, as Array Masters from major powers were still tackling the Array, but according to Zhang Tianxin and Zhou Yian, the results were far from ideal.
"All we can do now is to expand the entrance and allow as many young geniuses to enter as possible. Trying to monitor what happens inside is utterly impossible," Zhou Yian sighed softly, looking at Lin Qian and the others. "Once you enter the ruins, you must be careful in all matters. The biggest threat isn’t even the danger within, but the other talents who will be entering with you."
"Indeed, when the time comes, the situation will be chaotic with mixed elements from both the Sea and Human Clans in large numbers, making it easy to fall victim to underhanded tactics," Zhang Tianxin also instructed, "And we outside have no way of knowing what is happening inside; we may even not be able to find the murderer if someone dies."
Having heard Zhang Tianxin and Zhou Yian’s words, everyone looked very solemn, but Lin Qian, surprised as he was, was rather pleased.
The outside world couldn’t observe what was happening inside?
In that case, once he entered the Ancient Human Clan ruins, wouldn’t he be able to freely utilize the power of the Huaxia Empire!
In those ruins, who could contend against him?
Lin Qian, a single man, is equivalent to a whole nation!
