The next morning, before the remains of the God Killing Pavilion's Sect Master Hall.
The rising morning sun cast a golden-red glow over the broken walls and ruins, painting this once-glorious, now-devastated land with a layer of radiance. One hundred core brothers from Tianmen Fort stood in neat formation. Though their clothes were slightly tattered, their eyes shone with determination. These men who had fought life-and-death battles alongside Lin Che showed no fear before these ruins; instead, they stood tall with high spirits.
Standing on the broken stone steps, Lin Che held Luo Jiayin's hand and declared in a clear voice: "Brothers! Last night, my wife and I discovered a secret chamber in the God Killing Pavilion!"
At these words, a stir ran through the ranks, and everyone's eyes lit up with pleasant surprise.
"The secret chamber contains rich resources left behind by the Xuantian Sect!" Lin Che's voice grew even louder. "From today onward, all resources will be open to everyone! Cultivation techniques, spirit stones, pills—distributed according to each person's talent and attributes!"
"Thank you, Fort Master! Thank you, Madam!" The brothers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
Jiayin took over, her clear, melodious voice echoing through the ruins: "These resources, Lin Che and I will not take a single one. They will all be used to increase your strength!"
Her words brought tears to everyone's eyes. In the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, when those in high positions leaked even a little resource from their fingers, it was already a great blessing. For a couple like Lin Che and Jiayin to give everything freely was unheard of.

Lin Che waved his hand, and five bulging storage pouches flew into the air, their mouths opening wide. Countless spirit stones, jade slips containing cultivation techniques, and pill bottles rained down. Multi-colored lights intertwined in the sky, and dense spiritual energy instantly filled the air.
"Everyone, listen up!" Lin Che's expression turned serious. "Step forward in formation order. I will distribute according to each person's spirit root attributes and cultivation progress!"
The first to step forward was Zhang San, an honest-looking fellow. Lin Che scanned him with his divine sense: "Metal and Fire dual spirit roots, Peak Qi Gathering Stage. This 'Golden Flame Technique' and ten Metal-Fire attribute spirit stones are for you!"
Zhang San's hands trembled as he received the technique and spirit stones, his eyes moistening: "Thank you, Fort Master!"
"Cultivate well. Within three days, I want to see you break through to the Golden Core Stage!" Lin Che patted his shoulder.
"This subordinate will not disappoint the Fort Master!"
Next was Li Si, a thin young man. Lin Che nodded: "Water and Wood dual spirit roots, Half-Step Golden Core. This set of 'Green Wood Heart Technique' and fifteen Water-Wood spirit stones suit you. Additionally, I'll grant you a 'Boundary-Breaking Pill' to stabilize your realm!"
Li Si was so moved he was about to kneel and kowtow, but Lin Che helped him up: "A real man only kneels to heaven, earth, and his parents. You don't need to kneel to me."
[System: Detecting host buying loyalty, advanced version. Brothers' loyalty +20, morale +50.]
The distribution continued for two hours. Lin Che showed no impatience, carefully examining each brother's spirit roots, asking about their cultivation progress, and tailoring resource distribution to each individual. This attention to detail warmed everyone's hearts and deepened their admiration for Lin Che.
When the last cultivation technique was distributed, the scene had drastically changed—
Of the more than seventy brothers who were originally at Peak Qi Gathering Stage, fifty broke through to the Golden Core Stage on the spot. The remaining twenty reached Half-Step Golden Core and only needed an opportunity to break through. Of the thirty who were originally at Golden Core Stage, five broke through to late-stage Golden Core, and twenty-five reached mid-stage Golden Core.
Unfortunately, none of these brothers attracted heavenly tribulation, indicating their talent was mediocre. Without great opportunities in the future, they wouldn't achieve much.
Lin Che sighed inwardly!
"Thank you, Fort Master! Thank you, Madam!" The brothers shouted in unison, their voices even more powerful than before.
Lin Che nodded with satisfaction, a smile curling at his lips: "This is just the beginning. After we destroy the Xuanjian Sect, all the resources of Canglan Realm will be ours! At that time, all you brothers can break through to Nascent Soul, Spirit Formation, and even Refining Void!"
Furthermore, from now on, don't call me Fort Master. We're no longer Tianmen Fort bandits. We are now the God Killing Pavilion. From now on, address me uniformly as Pavilion Master.
These bold words set everyone's blood boiling, their eyes igniting with fierce determination.
[System: Detecting host drawing a big cake. Brothers' loyalty +50. However, it is suggested that the host solve the current crisis first and not choke on the cake.]
"By the way, Jiayin," Lin Che turned to the beauty beside him, "I need your help."
"What is it?" Jiayin's beautiful eyes flickered with curiosity.
"A large-scale multi-person teleportation array," Lin Che said mysteriously. "I don't know how to set one up. I need you to handle it."
"A teleportation array?" Jiayin asked in confusion. "What do you need it for?"
"Confidential." Lin Che winked. "A wise man keeps his cards close."
"You!" Jiayin stomped her foot in frustration. "You want me to run errands but won't tell me why? Go ask yourself!"
