resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those treasures beneficial to the Divine Soul, he truly didn’t have any in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that he had none, but rather he had never even seen one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Senior Brother Mu Ming, even many Inner Sect disciples don’t get much of those pills and treasures beneficial to the Divine Soul in a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone, Outer Sect disciples wishing to possess them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, the biggest reward was three pills nourishing the Divine Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead of the crowd, a few Inner Sect disciples were somewhat impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the crowd was chatty, they loudly commanded everyone to silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they emphasized the rules again, giving each person a Sound Transmission Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If trouble or danger arose, they could transmit a message, and Inner Sect disciples would come to resolve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as their words fell, at 7:00 AM, the training began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of Outer Sect disciples rushed towards the mountains like wild horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han followed behind, as soon as these people entered, they began searching for medicinal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These herbs were the ones Mu Ming had planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Mu Ming was disinterested in this training if he couldn’t find something good, he’d have to settle for consolation prizes, picking a few medicinal plants to take back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han was also not interested in these medicinal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final reward was in a mountain cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, finding a cave in these continuous mountains could be difficult, and there might not be just one cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering a cave, they would have to search all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small pills could be hidden in too many places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han wasted no time, stepping on a Magical Artifact to circle the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people saw Shen Han doing this, and some experienced Outer Sect disciples smiled a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you really think this training was for you Outer Sect disciples to get pills?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were prepared for Inner Sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone with a bit of experience knew just to get some consolation prizes, and that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year there’s training for Outer Sect disciples, but not once has an Outer Sect disciple taken the grand prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the training, the mansion would announce the somewhat better items’ hiding spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the revealed locations, everyone would basically sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which Outer Sect disciple could find those spots...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only are they hidden, but there are also many hidden mechanisms along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After unlocking the mechanisms, there’s intense pressure obstructing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a series of obstacles, which Outer Sect disciple could possibly get it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Shen Han, he stubbornly pursued those treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping on a Magical Artifact to observe all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, there were many mountain caves in this mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Shen Han, exploring a cave was much simpler than for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into a cave, if no mechanisms or treasures were hidden, small words would appear around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then that cave would definitely be empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparatively, all he needed to do was see if any unusual terms appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was much faster than for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon finding a cave, Shen Han immediately went in to search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first cave was empty, the second, the third...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han searched at an extremely fast pace, able to explore one cave in less than a quarter of an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the seventh, he finally found something peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the empty cave, on the south side, a line of small blue words appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ingenious Mechanism]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the mechanism, there were many strange patterns and letters, which Shen Han couldn’t quite understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t matter, he directly threw a [Broken] term onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he used brute force to push the mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, behind it was a small path, where intense pressure blocked the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those slightly lacking in strength would become dizzy and lightheaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inner Sect disciples typically use their Divine Soul to resist this pressure to pass through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Outer Sect disciples, they didn’t have that kind of power...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they did, they would have been recruited into the Inner Sect and would not participate in this Outer Sect training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han didn’t fear this; he could withstand the pressure without using the Divine Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing forward, deep on a high platform, there was a small box placed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han went up, and inside was indeed a box of pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon looking up, it was still a purple term, [Nourishing and Qi-Boosting Pill], of which there were three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was initially nurturing his Divine Soul, he could try it to see the pill’s effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing unexpected happened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect should be quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, when Shen Han broke the mechanism and entered, the news had already reached the Inner Sect disciples’ ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Shen Han left, some Inner Sect disciples went in to take a look and found that the pills inside had already been taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this news, many Inner Sect disciples looked quite displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those items should have belonged to the Inner Sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such high-quality pills ended up in the hands of an Outer Sect disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training ended at 3:00 PM, while it used to end at 5:00 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, all Outer Sect disciples felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attitude of those Inner Sect disciples was quite nasty, and the training ended an hour earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone returned to the starting point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han originally didn’t want to reveal in front of others that he found the pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he returned to the starting point, he was pointed out by an Inner Sect disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Shen Han obtained the pills, among the Outer Sect disciples, someone started using a Sound Transmission Magical Artifact to report the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zheng Changnian, who was meditating, received the news, got up, and walked to the small courtyard of the Feixia Mansion’s Mansion Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Master Xu, may I disturb you for a moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zheng Changnian’s voice, Mansion Master Xu came out with a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the matter? Are you free today and want to discuss Soul Cultivation with your Uncle Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mansion Master Xu’s face was kind, and his words showed that they were quite familiar with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Junior Master Xu wants to discuss the way of Soul Cultivation, feel free to come to Changnian anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today I came to disturb you, Uncle Master, because I heard that there are some nourishing pills rewarded during the Outer Sect disciples’ training at Feixia Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d like to request them for research on pill-making.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I wondered what it was about, turns out it’s just a few pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t have any ready ones on hand, just go to the training site to get those, no one will be able to obtain them anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, as the Mansion Master, also want to see how the training is today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inner Sect disciples in my mansion are all quite lazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With good talent, yet they refuse to strive hard in cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone learned that Shen Han obtained three pills, the faces of the Outer Sect disciples were full of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the faces of the Inner Sect disciples were gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in a high position, as the Inner Sect disciple announced everyone’s gains, when it came to Shen Han obtaining the pills,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t help but pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the announcement, as they were about to disperse, Feixia Mansion’s Mansion Master Xu and Zheng Changnian came stepping on a Magical Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are those Nourishing Pills?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Nian is just in need of a few pills, give those to me, and your Inner Sect disciples’ dues will be compensated by this Mansion Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mansion Master Xu walked up to a lead Inner Sect disciple and casually inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Inner Sect disciple slightly froze, then looked at Shen Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he didn’t respond, Mansion Master Xu frowned, and urged once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shen Han naturally understood that trouble had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was in the right, he naturally could speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Mansion Master, I am Outer Sect disciple Shen Han. This time I was a bit fortunate during training and obtained these three pills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han saluted Mansion Master Xu courteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Mansion Master Xu turned to glance at Zheng Changnian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing his expression, he instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s not about the pills, it’s clearly about pressing down on this Outer Sect disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Mansion Master Xu smiled indulgently, realizing that young people often end up in conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was just an Outer Sect disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Mansion Master Xu slightly straightened his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the pills are in your hands, then hand them over, anyway you don’t have much use for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an indifferent phrase left Shen Han somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really something a Mansion Master would say publicly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han’s expression became slightly serious, and he spoke again: \"Mansion Master, these three pills were acquired by this disciple through luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this disciple also needs those pills to aid in cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shen Han’s response, a trace of anger appeared on Mansion Master Xu’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would you use such high-quality pills for your cultivation? It’s a waste of good materials. Hand them over quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One phrase directly ordered him to hand them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter how hard-earned it was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was being forced to hand them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not even given a dignified reason for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words directly implied Shen Han wasn’t worthy of consuming those pills.\u003C\u002Fp>",1618,"2026-05-29T03:40:11.654Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","2811c3e4d6b5b2e462018dc036f9f33e429022ef67c162f6fedcfb5b3d8368e1","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-410","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-408",546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fengagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-cover.jpg"]
