While the Four Guardian beasts marveled at Lin Mu, the man in question was still comprehending the Longgui Bulwark Armor.

He had understood the concepts that composed the technique and felt like he would be able to use them once he was outside.

Soon enough, Lin Mu opened his eyes and glanced at the four guardians who were standing there calmly.

"You've done well." The Black Tortoise spoke.

"It's all due to the guidance provided by you." Lin Mu replied calmly.

The guardian beasts couldn't help but feel like Lin Mu was even better than they thought.

'Talented sure… but talented while being humble, now that is as rare as a phoenix's feather.' The Vermillion bird thought to itself.

From what the guardians beasts had seen, most geniuses and talented cultivators became arrogant and drunk on their power. As such they would be difficult to deal with and often cause problems due to it. Someone like Lin Mu who could keep a calm temper was certainly uncommon to them.

"Now then, since you've gotten your first reward what is it that you want as your second reward?" The Azure Dragon questioned.

"The second reward that I wish to ask for is also defensive in nature." Lin Mu answered.

"Also defensive?" The Black Tortoise was surprised until Lin Mu finished his words.

"I want a technique that can help defend my mind and perhaps my soul too." Lin Mu requested before explaining his reasoning to help make the guardians understand better. "In my battle against Dugu Shanhe, I realized I am lacking in the mental and soul defenses. If I encounter someone that uses the Six Faiths Mystic eye art or other techniques like that, I'd be in a dangerous situation again."

Hearing that, the Guardian beasts became silent.

"Hmm… the Six Faiths Mystic Eye Art huh… didn't think I would hear it about it again. That Dugu Shanhe sure was an enigma." The White Tiger spoke having known about the technique.

"Your mentality is actually quite strong compared to most immortals. But yes you are right, you will have a hard time defending against skills like the Six Faiths Mystic Eye Art which are simply too aggressive and special.

You'll need something better to defend against it." The Vermilion Bird stated.

Lin Mu nodded his head. "I know
