"Master does not want you to follow in Master's footstep and beco another Wood Transcendent with a tad Heavenly Fla." The Venerable Pill Master shook his head and stated, "I want you to surpass and beco soone even greater than that."
"Master, you're soone who has already taken half a step into the Paragon Realm. If nothing unexpected happens, you are bound to beco a Paragon in the future!" Lina spoke with shock.
Shortly after, she added, "How can I possibly surpass you? Would that an I have to reach the legendary Celestial Realm? Is that even possible?"
"You definitely can, my disciple. Master strongly believes you can reach the Celestial Realm and beyond. On the other hand, the Paragon Realm will be the limit of Master's attainnt."
"How can Master be so sure?" Lina wrinkled her brows in doubt.
"Once you reach Master's level, so things just naturally beco clear like a veil of fog that suddenly disperses, allowing you to realize many things that were previously hidden in plain sight."
The Venerable Pill sighed before he began explaining, "The world is dying, and the laws are unbalanced. If plants cannot thrive, the Wood Law will be vague, and its mystery difficult to comprehend, making further advancent increasingly difficult."
"In this world, spirit herbs that can reach Tier-4 quality are pretty rare, let alone Tier-5 Spirit Herbs. Perhaps the number of Tier-5 Spirit Herbs in this world can even be counted with one's hands. Master is already fortunate enough to be stepping into the Paragon Realm in the near future."
As Lina listened, her eyes suddenly flickered with a sudden realization, "Could this be the reason why Wood Awakeners are rare?"
"Yes, and no. Among humans, definitely. Humans, by nature, do not usually have a high affinity with wood elents," the Venerable Pill Master proceeded to explain patiently to his disciple.
"In fact, humans are very destructive and destroys nature instead. Other races with high affinity with wood like the elves would have no trouble birthing many Wood Awakeners. It is just that the bar for humans, which was already high, beca higher."
"However, this isn't a bad thing from another perspective," the Venerable Pill Master suddenly added before continuing, "It would an that all the natural Wood Awakeners have high talents and affinity with the Wood Law."
"Natural Wood Awakener… like right, Master?" Lina suddenly realized why her Master invests a lot of effort and resources into nurturing her.
It was because she had very high talent as a natural Wood Awakener.
Natural Wood Awakener, exactly as it sounds, were people who awaken to the wood elent naturally without preparations.
On the other hand, Unnatural Wood Awakeners requires comprehensive studies of wood and regular dicinal baths rich in wood elents to raise their affinity for a chance of awakening the elent.
"That's right." The Venerable Pill Master nodded.
"Master wants to use the power of the Heavenly Fla to alter my Wood Cultivation to Fire Cultivation and embark on the path of Fire Transcendents?" Lina made an educated guess after everything was said.
Unfortunately, she was still wrong.
"No, not at all. That would waste away your talents for the wood elent." The Venerable Pill Master shook his head and said, "However, you weren't far off the mark. What I was is for you to fuse the Heavenly Fla with your Wood Seed and dual cultivate wood and fire, becoming a Dual-elent Transcendent."
"I have already devised a thod for you. Once you obtain your Heavenly Fla, you can begin practicing it imdiately. Get plenty of rest tonight, my disciple. Tomorrow, Master will take you to the secret earth realm to obtain the Purplelotus Heavenly Fla. The trip is estimated to two weeks."
Upon hearing how long the trip was going to take, Lina did not respond and fell into a daze, lost in thought.
"Hm? Is there a problem, my dear disciple?"
"Ah, I'm very sorry, Master. I will have to let you down," Lina quickly apologized after snapping out of her daze.
The Venerable Pill Master furrowed his brows before he asked, "What's the matter? How will you let Master down? You don't want to co with Master to gain a Heavenly Fla?"
"Of course, I want to… It's just that I've been waiting for Master to return so I can ask to leave for a while," Lina said before explaining further, "It's been so ti since I left ho. Since the Cataclysm erupted, I have been feeling uneasy."
"If I don't go back to check on my parents and make sure that they are doing fine, I don't think I can continue to cultivate wholeheartedly with peace of mind."
"So, it's like this. Your parents were also natural Wood Awakeners, weren't they?" The Venerable Pill Master stroked his beard for a mont before suggesting, "Why don't you go bring them over here? You can take your senior brother along for protection."
"Master won't stop from leaving?" Lina asked with surprise.
"Why would Master stop you? There's no rush at all. The matter of the Heavenly Fla can wait." The Venerable Pill Master chuckled slightly without a shred of disappointnt before suddenly saying with a solemn look, "On another note, ntal demons must be taken seriously."
"If Master forbids you from leaving, and it becos a lifelong regret, not only would it sour our master-disciple relationship, but chances of a ntal demon forming and obstructing your cultivation progress is very likely."
"With that in consideration, how can Master stop you from doing what you wish to do?" The Venerable Pill Master rubbed Lina's head dotingly before saying, "Master will only remind you to take note of the ti."
"The world is ever-changing, and danger is constantly growing. It is not good to delay cultivation for too long. Rember, only strong people have the ability to control their own fates."
"Thank you, Master. This disciple will rember your teachings," Lina bowed to the Venerable Pill Master gratefully.
"Un." The Venerable Pill Master nodded before casually asking shortly after, "When do you plan to leave?"
"Tomorrow morning if possible."
"That soon, huh?" The Venerable Pill Master softly muttered after hearing his dear disciple's honest answer.
