Only after a long while did the sect master compose himself.
Then he turned his gaze toward Li Chungang and said solemnly, "Since you have such ambition, I have high hopes for you."
"However, all of this is still rather distant for you. Come find me after you reach Void Refinement. At that point, I will tell you about the trial required to advance into the ranks of the Core Disciples."

At that thought, Li Chungang immediately changed the subject. "Sect master, we can discuss becoming a Core Disciple later. What I want to know now is about the resources and cultivation arts you mentioned!"
"Mm."
The sect master nodded without wasting any words. With a sweep of his hand, he took out a Qian Kun Bag and tossed it to Li Chungang. "These are your resources as a Direct Disciple!"
"Of course, these resources are allocated according to your cultivation. The higher your cultivation, the more you receive. Since your cultivation is not high yet, the contents are suitable for your current stage of cultivation."
"Everything I promised you after your ascension is also in there. However, I cannot give you another immortal artifact. Giving you the Qinghua Immortal Abode is already enough."
