Yun Lintian played with Linlin for a while and brought her to a nearby pavilion, drying her fur. During this time, he discovered Linlin's strength was close to Origin Profound Realm's fourth level, which surprised him.

"By the way, Linlin. How did you increase your strength? Do you have to absorb profound energy?" Yun Lintian asked while gently wiping Linlin's body with a cotton towel.

Linlin closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying Yun Lintian's service, and answered. "Yes, Big Brother Yun. I need to absorb profound energy as you did. However, it would be better if I absorb energy from a profound beast's meat directly."

"I see." Yun Lintian immediately understood. Linlin was no different from a dual body and essence practitioner. 

"Big brother has a lot of meat here, and all of them are lightning element-based profound beats. You can eat as much as you want. Just tell your Sister Lingwei to make it for you." Yun Lintian then picked up a hairdryer to blow at Linlin.

"Thank you, Big Brother Yun." Linlin responded with a smile.

"What about profound art? Do Divine Beast have a profound art?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Yes, we have it. But our profound art is exclusive to our bloodline. Whether it is a profound beast or divine beast, the bloodline is the limit. The higher level bloodline, the higher ceiling ones have." Linlin explained.

"How did you know all of this?" Yun Lintian asked weirdly.

Linlin opened her eyes and shook her head. "I don't know, Big Brother Yun. It appeared in my mind."

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded his head. It seemed Bai Xiaoyun had engraved crucial information on Linlin's mind.

"Alright, done." Yun Lintian carefully checked on Linlin's body to see a wet spot before stopping his action. 

He put Linlin on a table and said. "Big brother will cook something for you. Wait here for a while."

"Mhm!" Linlin nodded her head and obediently waited for Yun Lintian while enjoying the lake scenery.

On Misty Lake, seven newly constructed pagodas stood magnificently in a hexagon shape with one at the center. A beautiful long bridge connected them together, and there were small pavilions along the way. A peal of faint laughter and Guqin sound could be heard from time to time as many disciples were leisurely resting after intensive practice. 

With Yun Lingwei's hard work, all the formations within the pagodas were completed within a month, and they were now ready to be used. Except for the one in the middle, the other six pagodas were freely opened to everyone.

Yun Lintian's intention since the beginning was to make these twenty-floored pagodas a profound training room. He designed each floor according to a user's current strength. For example, Yun Lintian's current strength was at the fifth level of Origin Profound Realm. He was allowed to use the seventh and eighth floor, which had been adjusted perfectly for Origin Profound Realm's practitioner. As for the last four floors, they were exclusively for a monarch.

The overall current strength of everyone was around the first level of Spirit Profound Realm. Since Yun Lintian had decided to fight Poison Valley, he had come up with a new practice program. From now on, there would be a tournament every week. It consisted of Alchemy, Formation, Forging, Profound Knowledge, and Profound Battle competition.

The winner of each competition would receive a huge reward, such as a new artifact, a considerable amount of Profound Stones, and the right to enter the Library. 

In the future, Yun Lintian planned to issue a mission and let them go out to gain experience. At that time, his plan to make the Misty Cloud Sect a number one sect would be officially begun.

The most important thing he was paying attention to at this moment was the Cloud Shadow team. He wanted to send them out as soon as possible. Hence, he prioritized them with unlimited resources. At the same time, their practice's intensity would be doubled or tripled up, much higher than other disciples. 

The disciples who were carefully selected into this team by Yun Meilan were all top-notch in every aspect. Whether it was intelligence, eloquence, personality, or strength, everything was exceedingly high. Yun Lintian believed the Cloud Shadow team would become the most frightening group in the Azure World.

In a blink of an eye, three months had already passed by. During this period, many earth-shattering events occurred in the Northern Continent. First, Yin Qiao, the Vice-Palace Master of Frozen Moon Palace, was mysteriously killed, and the culprit was still unknown. Some said she was killed because of the internal power struggle within the Frozen Moon Palace, and some believed she had betrayed the palace to join Divine Thunder Palace. 

Until now, Han Bingling did not come out to clarify anything on this matter. However, she did come out to tell everyone about the existence of Poison Valley and warned everyone to pay attention to a suspicious movement related to a profound beast. 

Now, every city within the Northern Continent had raised its restriction to another level. Everyone who wants to enter the city must drop blood on a blood-checking stone before entering. It could be said this move of Han Bingling was effective against Poison Valley as many infiltrated profound beasts were caught in various cities.

At the same time, many royal clans in various nations were swiftly cleaned up as they had conspired with Poison Valley. It started with the Qi royal clan of Heavenly Fortune Nation to the Feng royal clan of Spring Wind Nation, including some major clans. Although some fishes were slipping through the net, it was not a big deal as Han Bingling had deployed her people to look for them. No matter wherever they went to, Han Bingling would eventually find them in the end unless they left the Northern Continent.

Once again, Frozen Moon Palace had shown their prestige in this swift and decisive operation and made everyone admired them even more. However, they did not know that Divine Thunder Palace had played some roles in this incident.
