Chen Lan hurried into Lin Yuan's residence, his face alight with excitement as he said, "Senior Brother Lin, I hear Master Shi Shoujing has already gifted that 'Refining Muddling Tripod' to Zhang Yan."
"Oh, is that really true?" Lin Yuan shot to his feet, though his expression showed some skepticism. After Chen Lan confirmed it, he burst into laughter toward the heavens, exclaiming, "We are unburdened!"
By gifting the Refining Muddling Tripod to Zhang Yan, the intention was clear—to make Zhang Yan behave himself and stay in his place. With such a move, the most he could aspire to be was merely a Powerful Warrior. As for elixirs or Daoist books, he shouldn't even think about it. This way, their prior share of resources would not be diminished by an additional entry-level disciple.
