Five days later, within Zhao You Heavenly Pond, an elder from the Merit Institute arrived, obeying the orders of the Sect Leader to personally deliver a cultivation technique to Zhang Yan.
The elders of the Merit Institute were all highly esteemed individuals with significant seniority. Typically, if a disciple made a great contribution, they would go to the Merit Institute to exchange for techniques and magic artifacts.

However, in this instance, due to the Sect Leader's special instructions not to reveal the matter of gifting the Dharma technique, they had no choice but to select an elder to personally make the trip.
