Naisha and Jina both examined the disks carefully.
"This will speed up your cultivation," Aksai continued. "At the sa ti, it will help stabilize your Spirit Core faster."
Both won nodded.
Aksai then released several more jade slips from his storage ring.
"These contain various 3rd Order Spirit spells," he said.
The jade slips slowly floated toward them.
"So are defensive spells," Aksai explained. "So are attack techniques. A few are support techniques that can help during group battles."
Another small stack of jade slips appeared.
"These ones contain Spirit Array formations."
Naisha and Jina both looked surprised at the number of resources. They knew that Aksai had access to various 3rd Order resources due to his connections with the other Lords. But even then, wasn't it too much? Had he robbed the treasury of so hidden or ancient sect or sothing?
Both won had countless questions in their minds. But they were smart enough not to raise them. If Aksai wanted to let them know, he would have already told them. There was no need to ask him about the origins of their rewards.
Aksai also didn't waste ti giving them unnecessary explanations.
"You can use these arrays for different purposes," Aksai said. "So are defensive formations. So are concealnt formations. A few can be used to trap enemies or protect a location."
He looked at them calmly.
"As Core Formation cultivators, you will face stronger enemies in the future. Learning to use these tools properly will increase your chances of survival."
Naisha and Jina carefully collected all the items. Their expressions were serious but grateful. Both of them bowed deeply at the sa ti.
"Thank you, Guild Master," Naisha said.
"We will not waste these resources," Jina added.
Aksai looked at them for a mont before giving a small nod.
"You should return to Kalingoot's base island," he said.
"Once you reach there, go into isolation for so ti," Aksai continued. "Focus on stabilizing your cultivation bases and getting used to your Spirit Cores."
Naisha nodded.
"That will also allow us to quietly study the jade slips you gave us," she said.
Aksai replied promptly.
"Yes. Do not rush into outside matters for now."
Jina then asked calmly, "How long should we remain in isolation, Guild Master?"
"A few months should be enough," Aksai replied. "After that, you can slowly return to your duties. Make do with your late-stage Experts as assistants until then."
He paused for a mont before his tone beca slightly more serious.
"There is sothing else you should be aware of."
Both won imdiately focused.
"There is a hidden group operating in the Dadangar Subcontinent," Aksai said.
"A hidden group?" Naisha asked.
Aksai nodded.
"They send assassins to target Core Formation Lords."
Both won were surprised. Jina frowned slightly.
"Targeting Lords?" she said. "How is that possible? Aren't Lords supposed to be powerhouses in Dadangar Subcontinent?"
"Um… not really. At least not anymore," Aksai replied calmly.
"These assassins are not ordinary cultivators. They are trained well and are willing to die without revealing anything."
Naisha's expression beca serious.
"Do they only target the well-known Lords?" she asked.
Aksai shook his head slightly.
"No. They also target newly advanced Lords."
Both won understood the aning behind those words imdiately.
"You two have just entered the Core Formation realm," Aksai continued. "That ans you might attract their attention sooner or later."
Jina's eyes sharpened slightly.
"We will remain careful," she said.
Naisha nodded in agreent.
"We will strengthen our defenses around the base island as well."
Aksai seed satisfied with their responses.
"Good."
He then raised his hand.
A faint ripple appeared in the air beside him. A small dinsional opening slowly ford, revealing a hidden space connected to his isolated dinsion that was Enchanted Everwood Farmland.
A mont later, two large shadows erged from the opening. Two majestic birds flew out and spread their wings across the night sky. They were Draconic Bluewing Eagles.
Their wings were wide and powerful. The feathers were deep blue with faint silver patterns that shimred under the moonlight. Their eyes were sharp and intelligent.
The two demonic beasts circled once in the air before hovering calmly near Aksai. Naisha and Jina looked at them with clear surprise and excitent.
Aksai gestured toward the two eagles.
"These will be your flying mounts," he said.
Both won looked even more surprised.
"3rd Order Draconic Bluewing Eagles," Aksai continued. "They are not only excellent flying mounts."
The two birds flapped their wings slowly as if acknowledging his words.
"They are also capable battle partners," Aksai added. "And they are intelligent enough to act as reliable companions in various situations."
The two eagles calmly flew closer to Naisha and Jina. Naisha carefully extended her hand. One of the eagles lowered its head slightly, allowing her to touch its feathers. A faint smile appeared on her face.
"They are beautiful," she said quietly.
Jina stepped toward the second eagle. The bird observed her for a mont before letting out a soft cry. Jina laughed lightly.
"It seems friendly as well."
"They have already been trained," Aksai said. "You only need to build a stronger bond with them over ti."
Both won bowed respectfully again.
"Thank you, Guild Master," Naisha said.
"This will make traveling much easier," Jina added.
Aksai nodded before commanding them to leave.
"Go now."
The two won quickly climbed onto the backs of the eagles. The large birds spread their wings. With a powerful flap, they rose into the night sky.
The wind rushed past as the two mounts flew swiftly across the Dadangar Seas, carrying the newly advanced Core Formation Lords back toward Kalingoot's hidden base island.
After confirming that the two new Core Formation Lords had safely flown far away without any hidden force following them, the Spirit farr slowly turned toward another direction.
Erald Cove Island.
Without wasting ti, Aksai began flying toward the distant island.
His speed was fast, but his movents were smooth and controlled. His figure cut across the night sky like a silent shadow.
After flying for so ti, Aksai suddenly stopped in midair. His expression remained calm as he raised his hand and ford a few simple hand seals.
A faint wave of Spirit energy moved across his body. The powerful aura of a Core Formation Lord slowly faded.
His cultivation base began to sink deeper inside his body, hidden behind layers of careful Spirit control. Within a few monts, the strong pressure around him had completely disappeared.
Now his aura felt much weaker. It was the aura of an early-stage Foundation Establishnt Expert. At the sa ti, Aksai's appearance also changed slightly.
His facial features beca more ordinary. The sharp and refined look he normally carried was gone. In its place was a face that looked average and easy to ignore in a crowd.
Even his clothes changed into a simple robe worn by common guild mbers.
After completing the transformation, Aksai continued flying toward Erald Cove Island. Soon, the outline of the island appeared in the distance.
Erald Cove Island was much more lively than the empty islands he had just left behind. Even at night, lights could be seen in many places across the island. Small Spirit lamps glowed along the streets and docks.
Several ships were anchored near the coastline. Aksai slowly descended toward the outer docks of the island. From a distance, the harbor looked busy.
Workers moved goods between ships and storage buildings. So Spirit cultivators supervised the loading and unloading of crates filled with Spirit herbs, ores, and other trade materials.
Aksai walked calmly through the harbor area like an ordinary guild mber returning from a task. No one paid special attention to him.
Many of the workers were only at the Qi Refining stage. Even the guards near the docks were mostly Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
To them, Aksai looked no different from any other early-stage Foundation Establishnt Expert. He slowly walked through the harbor while observing everything quietly.
The trade operations were running smoothly.
rchants from several nearby islands were present. So of them were discussing deals with Erald Cove Guild mbers while others were preparing ships for departure.
Aksai moved deeper into the island. The inner streets were also lively.
Small markets had ford along the roads where Spirit herbs, pills, and cultivation tools were being sold. Disciples of the guild moved between buildings while carrying docunts or small storage bags.
He also noticed several patrol groups walking through the streets. These patrols were made up of guild mbers responsible for maintaining order on the island.
Aksai quietly observed their movents. Their patrol patterns looked organized. The mbers communicated with each other properly and kept watch over the busy areas of the island.
Aksai continued walking until he reached the central district of Erald Cove Island. Here, the buildings were larger and more refined.
The main headquarters of the Erald Cove Guild stood at the center of the district. Several guards stood near the entrance while other guild mbers entered and exited the building with important docunts.
