Liu Bai and Shentu Fu reveal that Ye Haochuan has a significant historical mission and that his ancestors were from the Hua Clan. They offer him benefits from Half-Mountain Residence, including valuable pills, and agree to help him rescue his "sweetheart," Sophia. While Sophia is undergoing treatment, a Divine Level Artifact Refiner named Tian Dang agrees to repair Ye Haochuan's damaged weapon.

Liu Yifei accepted the command and departed the main hall, accompanying Ye Haochuan. Though instructed by Liu Bai to keep Ye Haochuan out of sight, Liu Yifei opted against a secretive route. The Half-Mountain Residence, being vast and sparsely populated, seemed to host few beyond the two sweeping disciples, Ge Ping, Shu Longyue, and a handful of others.

"This Half-Mountain Residence, with its generation system of nine people per generation, currently in its fourth generation, should have thirty-six individuals. Yet, it feels like fewer than ten are present. Are they all staying in their quarters?" Ye Haochuan inquired, curiosity piqued.

"The majority of the Half-Mountain Residence members are currently traveling the world, while others are in secluded cultivation. Thus, only a small number of us remain here," Liu Yifei explained.

"Wow, such a formidable force with so few people around. Aren't you concerned about potential threats?"

"The esteemed reputation of the Half-Mountain Residence serves as our greatest shield; who would dare provoke us?" Liu Yifei responded with evident pride.

My goodness, that's quite the audacious statement!

Ye Haochuan couldn't help but be impressed, musing that perhaps only the Half-Mountain Residence in the entirety of the Immortal Realm could afford such arrogance.

The greater his shock, the more exhilarated Ye Haochuan became.

He finally grasped why even individuals from as far as Shuanghua County harbored a fear of the Half-Mountain Residence's name; this level of self-assurance and might was utterly commanding.

With such a power backing him in the future, who would dare cross him?

Ye Haochuan was overjoyed.

In the past, he had leveraged the Half-Mountain Residence Token to secure numerous advantages, but he lacked a true understanding of the Half-Mountain Residence's might. Consequently, when he later found himself in conflict with the Gu Family, he hesitated to use the Token, fearing their overwhelming strength might bring trouble upon the Half-Mountain Residence.

It now appeared his apprehension was unfounded. Even if the Gu Family were a local power to be reckoned with, they were certainly no match for the Half-Mountain Residence.

"It's just a shame the Half-Mountain Residence Token is with Keyue, so I can't use it," Ye Haochuan lamented briefly, before slapping his forehead and chiding himself, "How foolish, why not simply request another from Shentu Fu?"

His decision made, Ye Haochuan's spirits lifted even further.

"By the way, Manor Master Liu mentioned I am now part of the Half-Mountain Residence. Does this mean I can learn the master techniques of the Half-Mountain Residence?" Ye Haochuan suddenly inquired with a grin.

"You truly are never satisfied!"

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows slightly, playfully remarking, "According to Grandpa, you should be permitted to borrow the Half-Mountain Residence's master techniques. However, as you are not an Official Disciple, you cannot directly access the Hidden Mechanisms Pavilion, lest your presence be discovered!"

"Oh, so you're saying I can't borrow them at all?" Ye Haochuan asked dejectedly. "No way, I must speak with Manor Master Bai. I was told to treat this place like home; I won't be subject to such restrictions in my own home!"

"Why the rush? I haven't finished speaking!" Liu Yifei said irritably. "You cannot borrow them yourself, but that doesn't mean I can't borrow them on your behalf!"

"You mean..."

"My privilege allows me to borrow three books annually. I've already used one, so I can borrow two more for you to peruse!" Liu Yifei pouted.

Observing her expression, she seemed somewhat reluctant, as forfeiting personal benefits for another is rarely a source of happiness.

"Really? Only three books a year? Isn't that a bit stingy?" Ye Haochuan inquired, feigning disappointment.

"Even if you borrowed more, could you truly finish reading them?" Liu Yifei retorted irritably. "This rule exists precisely to prevent individuals like you from greedily overextending themselves. Each Technique Manual requires dedicated time for comprehension and practice. Do you believe a single read is sufficient?"

"If one read isn't enough, then two or three readings will suffice, taking at most three to five days. Limiting us to three books yearly certainly impedes Cultivation speed, wouldn't you agree?"

"I never expected you to be such a boastful fellow!" Liu Yifei's expression shifted instantly upon hearing Ye Haochuan's words, and she scoffed, "I haven't the time for your nonsensical ramblings. Simply tell me which two books you desire, and I shall procure them for you!"

Noticing Liu Yifei's growing annoyance, Ye Haochuan felt a pang of injustice.

He genuinely understood after a few readings; why was he being treated as if he were fabricating tales?

However, too lazy to engage in explanations, he pondered for a moment before stating, "Two Cultivation Techniques, one movement technique, and one attack technique. The higher the level, the better!"

"What do you mean the higher the level, the better? For someone at your current Cultivation, the Pseudo-Immortal Level is the limit. What reckless youth, aiming so high. With your current standing, how can Grandpa entrust you with the important task of leading the Hua Clan?"

Liu Yifei expressed her disappointment to Ye Haochuan, and before Ye Haochuan could even respond, she turned and departed.

Seriously, I never said I wanted a profoundly high-level Cultivation Technique, I was just afraid you might waste time on some Treasure-Level ones, that’s all?

Ye Haochuan inwardly cried out about the injustice.

However, he was too laze to bother explaining. As long as he could acquire the Technique Manuals, he didn't care what she thought.

Approximately an hour later, Liu Yifei eventually returned, tossing two manuals toward Ye Haochuan.

"Gale Immortal Canon, a Pseudo-Immortal Late Stage movement technique... Thousand Threads, a Pseudo-Immortal Mid-Stage restricted technique..."

Upon observing these two manuals, Ye Haochuan was overcome with immense excitement.

Most of his Cultivation Techniques were of the Treasure-Level, which proved insufficient after reaching Immortal Transformation. He had anticipated that acquiring superior Techniques would be quite challenging. Who would have thought that with a simple request, he would receive two from the Half-Mountain Residence?

It appeared that with the backing of the Half-Mountain Residence, he would never have to fret about a shortage of Technique Manuals.

Liu Yifei still seemed somewhat vexed by Ye Haochuan's earlier remarks and, after escorting him to a chamber for rest, she departed.

Ye Haochuan paid it no mind and eagerly commenced his study of the Cultivation Techniques in his possession.

Liu Yifei's words held truth; every Technique necessitates time for study, exploration, and practice.

While Ye Haochuan previously mastered Treasure-Level Techniques with ease, grasping them after a mere glance, practicing this Pseudo-Immortal Level technique demanded considerable effort.

The Pseudo-Immortal Level, termed 'pseudo-immortal' because it still falls short of True Immortal. Immortal Transformation, in theory, is also a form of pseudo-immortal cultivation; only upon converting all Spiritual Energy into Flower Energy can one truly Ascend to Immortality.

Roughly five days passed, during which he had fundamentally mastered the two techniques, though he could not yet fully unleash their true power.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Liu Yifei unexpectedly sought out Ye Haochuan, announcing, "Your weapon has been successfully forged. Grandpa Tian requests that you come collect it!"

So soon?

Ye Haochuan was filled with eager anticipation. Crafted by a Divine Level Artifact Refiner, he wondered what caliber the Halberd of Heaven and Earth would be refined to.
