After spending all the merits the team had gained during the mission at the Exorcist Pass, Xingyuan announced that the team would temporarily stay in the Holy City to rest for a while.

The reason why he was not in a hurry to accept the mission was that, in addition to waiting for the Demon Hunting Group's mission tower to put the mission that Xingyuan wanted to accept on the shelves, he also had to go find Lin Chen, the deputy master of his Magic Temple, and retrieve the two spirit furnaces placed in the temple.

In addition, Lin Chen promised to give him three earth dragon scales as a reward for the individual champion of the qualifiers. With three months of competition time, even if the efficiency of the Magic Temple is slow, it must have been arranged.

After asking everyone to stay in the Demon Hunting Group's hut and practice well, not to go outside unless necessary, and to remember to tell others when going out, Xingyuan also planned to go to the Holy Alliance Executive Office to find Lin Chen.

"Why does it feel like Xingyuan has become more nagging since he became the leader?"

Chen Ying'er responded to him, and then complained to everyone sitting in the living room: "If I didn't know that he was born a few months earlier than me, I would have believed you if you said he was ten years older than me with that maturity..."

"Look how beautiful you are."

Yue Mingnan, who had just carefully selected a bottle of what she thought was "good wine" from the cellar, crawled out from underneath.

She said with a sly smile, "Whether it's the temperament of a mature man or the youthfulness of a little boy, the captain has both qualities. Are you bewitched by him, Ying'er?"

"Yuemingnan!"

"Hey hey hey! You might knock my drink over--"

Looking at Chen Ying'er and Yue Mingnan who were fighting, Li Xin glanced at Wang Yuanyuan who was sitting next to them with some embarrassment.

"Actually, I think what Ying'er said just now is quite right."

Li Xin recalled the scene when she first met Xing Yuan, "Obviously at that time, the master was the same as Hao Chen, and both were younger brothers to me... I didn't expect that now, he is my master."

"...I actually like the feeling of having someone discipline me."

Wang Yuanyuan turned her head and said.

"..."

Holy Alliance Executive Government, Magic Temple Office.

"Grandpa Lin, long time no see."

As soon as he saw the person outside the door, Lin Chen sat up from his seat with a look of concern, and stretched out his big hand to grab Xingyuan's wrist.

"Those good-for-nothings from the Assassin's Temple, even with so many people watching, Ramer could still attack you."

Lin Chen cursed, but after making sure that there was nothing wrong with Xingyuan's body, he finally let go of his hand.

Then Li Zhengzhi became very angry about this matter. If Shengyue had not personally intervened and even lost an arm in order to save Xingyuan, he would have gone to the Assassin's Temple to ask for an explanation.

Xingyuan: “…”

"Of course I'm fine."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he also complained to Xing Yuan, saying that Lin Xin, the ungrateful bastard, had come back and didn't even come to assure his grandfather that he was safe, and so on...

"correct."

Lin Chen, who had just finished complaining, suddenly slapped his forehead, then stood up and walked to his desk, took out a stack of letters and several packages, "This is from Palace Master Li, who told me to wait for you to come back and give it to you.

As for why they didn't send it directly to the Exorcist Pass, maybe they were worried that it would be intercepted by someone with ulterior motives."

Xingyuan: “…”

You people in the Temple are so skilled at intrigue that it's heartbreaking... After taking the letters and packages that Lin Chen stuffed over, Xingyuan knew without even opening them that except for two letters written by Li Zhengzhi, the rest were from Tan Wan.

"Thank you, Grandpa Lin, for keeping it for me."

"Well, it's just a handy thing."

Lin Chen waved his hand, then took out three exquisite small boxes from his storage ring and placed them in front of Xingyuan, "Here, this is your reward for the selection competition, the three earth dragon scales are all here.

The only things that the Temple has not yet given you are the two spirit furnaces."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again, "It's really rare. This is the first time that our Magic Temple owes a member such a big debt."

As the son of the earth veins with an innate internal spiritual power of up to ninety-seven points, he naturally did not need to even open the box of earth-type spiritual treasures like Earth Dragon Scales. The aura they emitted was enough to determine their authenticity.

"Grandpa Lin, please don't make fun of me."

Xing Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he put away the Earth Dragon Scales. Then he said to Lin Chen, "To be honest with you, Grandpa Lin, I came to see you today to resolve the issue of the two spirit furnaces so that you wouldn't have to worry about them all the time."

"hey-hey."

Lin Chen was quite pleased with Xing Yuan's nice words. At least they were much better than that ungrateful guy in his family who called him old man.

"Why, do you have the spiritual furnace you want this time?"

You should know that the Yancheng Spirit Furnace that was temporarily placed in the Treasure Pavilion last time was specially prepared by their Magic Temple for Xingyuan. They just didn't expect that he would look down on it, and then Huang Yi took advantage of it.

"Well, during this period of time, I found that the importance of the spirit furnace is far greater than I expected." Xingyuan nodded: "And the role of spiritual power is not only reflected in combat, but also very helpful for cultivation."

“…Hmm~~”

Lin Chen was obviously very satisfied with Xing Yuan's answer, and an expression of teachable young man appeared on his face.

"You are a very lucky kid. The Temple has just received a batch of very good Level 2 Spiritual Furnaces. What kind of Spiritual Furnace do you want? Tell me and I will know if the Temple has it."

In order to let Xingyuan choose the spirit furnace, the Magic Temple also took great pains, and almost told Xingyuan explicitly, "Let him choose from all the second-level spirit furnaces."

"Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa Lin."

Xingyuan nodded. "I want two level 2 Light Elemental Spirit Furnaces. If possible, I want one to be a combat type and the other to be a support type."

"Ok?"

Lin Chen, who had already been planning in his mind for Xingyuan how to choose the spirit furnace that would have the best effect after fusion and absorption, was stunned after hearing this.

Fortunately, as the deputy master of the Magic Temple, he also has the right to know about the matter of Xingyuan. He knows that he is the first magician majoring in the three elements of earth, light and fire since the establishment of the Magic Temple.

"Are you planning to focus on light magic?"

Lin Chen also reacted quickly and said thoughtfully: "But as far as I know, Xingyuan, you should have a higher affinity with earth elements, right? Can you tell me why you do this? Is it because the holy light attribute element has a restraining effect on the demons?"

"..."

Lin Chen dared to say this, but Xing Yuan didn't dare to listen.

If Lin Chen and Li Zhengzhi, who was far away in Jialing Pass, knew that Xingyuan asked the Temple for two Level 2 Light Elemental Spirit Furnaces in order to give benefits to the members of his team, they would probably be dumbfounded, right? (End of this chapter)
