The Foundation Establishment Elder He from the Lecture Hall shook his head with a sigh of resignation, saying, “Brother Lin Yi, it’s not that I’m being nosy, but almost no one will purchase such a course.”

“Especially since this is the second time you are offering a course in the Lecture Hall, many of our disciples view you as untrustworthy.”

“A course costs 800 merit points and lasts for 24 hours, even though it seems worth it, they could end up losing all those points if it turns out to be a half-hearted walk-through.”

“What’s more, this course is related to Spirit Farming, which doesn’t usually attract much interest. You’ve just made it even more difficult now.”

Lin Yi clasped his hands and bowed, chuckling, “Thank you for the reminder, Elder Brother He. I usually practice in seclusion and don’t have much free time, so I can only concentrate on giving classes. Just go ahead and announce it like this. Thank you.”

The reason for offering this farming class was to give the ten disciples who had previously attended his class another chance as only these ten disciples had signed up for his class.

If these ten could seize this opportunity and spend 800 points, they would receive unimaginable rewards. An increase in understanding means greater achievements in the future.”

If no one enrolls in the end, he will naturally change the course.”

As for reducing the price of the course even more, it’s not really necessary. 800 merit points are already quite affordable. If it becomes even cheaper, students would suspect that something’s up with the seemingly too-good-to-be-true deal.”

Elder He from the Lecture Hall nodded, “Alright, if you insist, I’ll have the disciples post it and you can wait for the lecture in your Cave Mansion.”

Lin Yi thanked him again and left the Immortal City. The class would start in three days’ time in his first Cave Mansion at the Jin Qiao Peak, where he had chosen to live after joining the Golden Sword Peak.”

The Cave Mansion he used to inhabit now housed a Qi Refining Sixth Layer disciple named Chen Xue Zhong.”

This disciple had benefited from the Sinong Palace’s reward scheme, upgrading from Outer Sect Spirit Farmer to the Inner Sect step by step.”

His entire upgrading process took 15 years, from cultivating Lower Grade Spirit Fields to Middle Grade Spirit Fields, and then getting promoted to the Inner Sect, becoming a Registered Disciple, and cultivating Upper Grade Spirit Fields.”

Chen Xue Zhong became an Official Disciple of the Golden Sword Peak last year and immediately chose to live in the Cave Mansion which Lin Yi had previously occupied.”

Indeed, after validation by a Dan Hall Disciple, he also received the rights to cultivate a Lower Grade Medicinal Field.

In the forty plus years since the Sinong Palace’s rewards and punishments policy was announced, there had only been a few tens of Outer Sect Spirit Farmers who managed to be promoted to Inner Sect.”

Many were stuck at the Middle Grade Spirit Fields, unable to enter the Inner Sect or become Registered Disciples.”

Although it’s challenging to ascend to the Inner Sect through farming, it gives the Outer Sect Spirit Farmers a glimpse of hope.”

Even if they can’t enter the Inner Sect, upgrading from the Lower Grade Spirit Fields to Middle Grade Spirit Fields would still earn them more resources for cultivation.”

Lin Yi chose this location for the lecture so that he could comprehensively explain the knowledge of Spirit Grass cultivation and at the same time give Chen Xue Zhong a chance to attend the class for free.”

When Chen Xue Zhong heard about it, he was thrilled and insistent about honouring the opportunity, even rejecting the free class offer and insisting that he would purchase it at the Lecture Hall.”

Lin Yi told him not to worry about it. He was not lecturing for the merit points but rather the constant stream of benefits it could bring in future.”

If this 24-hour course successfully fosters the teacher-student relationship, then he might consider offering free classes for Golden Sword Peak Disciples to improve their comprehension in the future.”

After so many years at the Golden Sword Peak, besides matters related to the Secret Realm, he hadn’t made any other contributions.”

Meanwhile, the ten disciples who had previously purchased Lin Yi’s course saw the new course at the Lecture Hall. They were astounded and somewhat incredulous.”

Elder Uncle Lin Yi was really exaggerating, offering a course lasting 24 hours – an entire day.”

The course costs 800 points. Although it seems cheaper than the regular courses in total, they hesitated due to the large amount of merit points they’d have to fork out on the spot.”

After all, for these Qi Refining Middle Stage Disciples, earning merit points through tasks isn’t an easy job. They can only take on basic tasks that reward 100 points.”

If the task entails a big risk, they would have to work in a group and end up receiving even fewer points.”

Aside from enrolling in classes at the Lecture Hall, they still need to use their merit points to exchange for Cultivation Techniques and Spells.”

While Brother Lin Yi’s classes have been useful and he’s clearly making an effort, after some thought, a few of them chose to give up because of the 800 merit points for this one course.”

Out of the ten disciples, only two decided to purchase the course after some hesitation.”

This course, which covers all aspects of Spirit Grass cultivation, appears to be just right for them as they are encountering challenges in Spirit Grass cultivation.”

Besides, it’s not often one can find classes on various aspects related to Spirit Grass cultivation, and a basic introduction to alchemy.”

Foundation Building cultivators at the Pill Hall asking for a minimum of 300 points for each hour-long course.”

Soon enough, the three days were over, Lin Yi arrived early at Jin Qiao Peak, which was now just a faint memory for him.
