Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 212 Return to the Sect
It's a good time to cultivate myself, suppress my desires, and calm myself down.

Tonight, the sky is high and the air is crisp, the bright moon hangs high, and its pure light seems even brighter.

The moonlight and starlight around Li Yunjing merged together, and the precious light around him grew stronger and stronger.

After an hour of meditation, when Li Yunjing awoke, a ray of dawn had already been drawn in by him, and he had absorbed this wisp of vital energy.

In the morning glow, Li Yunjing's entire body emitted a faint, precious light, giving him an air of otherworldly grace.

Why did you come out of the room?

When Li Yunjing finished his practice, Yu Yunyi, with a sweet voice, came to his side.

Looking at those snow-white jade feet, with their glistening nails and clearly visible veins.

Li Yunjing's gaze moved upwards, then fell upon those plump and straight jade legs.

Looking upwards, Li Yunjing scrutinized Yu Yunyi from head to toe.

After a night of fierce fighting, Yu Yunyi was completely different from before. Her skin was radiant, her black hair was flowing, and she possessed a charm that a young girl could not have.

The tempting taste made Li Yunjing want to try it again.

"Hehe! I was worried you were working too hard, so I went out to rest my eyes and relax."

Li Yunjing chuckled lightly, teasingly hinting at something.

Looking at the stunning beauty before him, her clothes fluttering in the wind, Li Yunjing felt a surge of pride. He stood up, reached out, and pulled her alluring body into his arms.

Feeling the fiery heat emanating from Yu Yunyi's body, Li Yunjing's heart stirred, as if he hadn't had enough after just one encounter.

"Hehe... What are you thinking about?"

Clearly sensing the change in Li Yunjing's mindset, Yu Yunyi smiled sweetly, her captivating face revealing an alluring charm.

"Let's rest a bit more! We'll check out of the room at noon and then leave 'White Sand Island'!"

Lured by Yu Yunyi's words, Li Yunjing decided not to leave. He suddenly picked Yu Yunyi up by the waist and "whoosh" went back into the room.

"You...we still have to leave..."

Yu Yunyi giggled and said coquettishly, "No...you naughty guy!"

...

They were busy practicing the martial arts until noon, when Li Yunjing and his companion finally dressed up, tidied themselves up, and happily checked out of the hotel.

This time, when leaving "White Sand Island", the two did not choose to fly by air, nor did they choose to swim back in the sea.

Li Yunjing took Yu Yunyi directly to the dock and bought a ten-zhang-long sea boat from a nearby merchant, preparing to sail back to "Wanghai City".

This large ship is not a magical artifact; it's just an ordinary large ship, and it didn't cost many spirit stones.

Li Yunjing is so smart, learning navigation techniques will be no problem for him.

Before long, the sails were hoisted, the course was adjusted, and the ship set sail, returning to the Southern Continent.

Not long after Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi left, a major battle broke out on "White Sand Island".

The incident involving "Guantao Haige" has finally come to light.

Xuan Ziyan, Canglan Zhenren, and several other experts somehow managed to return to "Baisha Island" from the Qiyan Sea.

After these people returned, many sects and families immediately learned about their respective losses.

Some forces that no longer have Foundation Establishment cultivators to rely on naturally become the most delicious prey.

Throughout the entire "White Sand Island," bloodshed and chaos reigned as families, sects, and independent cultivators were locked in a fierce battle.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

The chaotic and bloody slaughter almost never stopped...

However, what happened on "Baisha Island" had nothing to do with Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.

Three days later, the two activated water magic to increase the speed of the large ship and finally returned to "Wanghai City".

Over the past three days, with the sky as their blanket and the boat as their bed, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi have achieved a profound level of mastery in their study of the "Mysterious Awakening Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique".

Through the dual cultivation of Yin and Yang, Yu Yunyi gained a deeper understanding of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Originally, Yu Yunyi thought she had a chance to establish her foundation in one or two months, but now that time has been greatly shortened.

Perhaps in just over half a month, he could be promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Upon returning to "Wanghai City," Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi abandoned their sailboat and headed directly from the dock into the city.

The group entered "Wanghai City," a bustling and vibrant city filled with cultivators.

This city of cultivators is far more bustling than "White Sand Island".

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi did not leave immediately via the teleportation array, but instead went to the city lord's mansion to report the news.

The massive gates of the city lord's mansion were naturally off-limits to unauthorized individuals.

This city lord's mansion is ten times larger than Li Yunjing's "Qiwu Manor".

When Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, they sensed more than a dozen unfathomable auras emanating from the deep courtyard.

"This truly lives up to its reputation as the administrative center of Wanghai City!"

Li Yunjing nodded secretly.

"Let's go! Let's go and ask to see the important person!"

Li Yunjing took Yu Yunyi's hand and strode towards the gate of the "City Lord's Mansion".

The gate of the city lord's mansion is nine zhang high and six zhang wide, and is entirely vermilion.

It contained a faint, precious light, and there were powerful restrictions on the gate alone.

On either side of the steps in front of the door, there is a white jade lion guarding the house.

The lion was pure white, without a single blemish, and its eyes were wide open, as if it were alive, and could even move.

As Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi approached the entrance, the two white jade lions even turned their gazes toward the two of them.

It seemed that they were ready to pounce and kill at the slightest provocation.

"It's a puppet mechanical beast!"

Li Yunjing was startled and immediately recognized what it was.

Once they reached the edge of the puppet mechanical beast's warning range, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi stopped in their tracks and ceased their advance.

"Who goes there! How dare you come to the city lord's mansion! If you have nothing to say, get out of the way immediately!"

Before Li Yunjing could even report, Yu Yunyi was immediately reprimanded by the guards at the door.

Eight guards stood on the steps in front of the city lord's mansion.

These eight people were all highly skilled, each at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Clearly, in the City Lord's Mansion, only those with an eighth or ninth level of cultivation are considered elite warriors.

"This is my identity token! We are disciples of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect!"

There was nothing to say to the ordinary guards; Li Yunjing simply showed his identity token.

Sure enough, when Li Yunjing announced his identity as a disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and said that he had important intelligence to report, the guards dared not be negligent.

Soon, one person was sent through a side gate into the mansion to deliver a message.

Before long, a black-armored captain emerged from the "City Lord's Mansion." After asking Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi a few questions, he led them through a small gate into the City Lord's Mansion. Inside the City Lord's Mansion, after winding through several turns, the black-armored captain led Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi to a place called "Wuhua Hall."

Inside this enormous palace, a man clad in gleaming silver armor was drinking tea. This man was a Golden Core Realm city lord from "Wanghai City".

This person also has another identity: he is an elder of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Such a strategically important border region was of utmost importance to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Besides this city lord, there are three deputy city lords, making a total of four Golden Core Realm experts from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in charge.

Within the entire "Wanghai City" system, there are a total of nine deputy city lords.

The other six people were from other sects, families, or independent cultivators.

While Wanghai City claims to be independent, it is actually still under the rule of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

Three deputy city lords were also drinking tea with the city lord.

In addition, several other young people stood respectfully to one side.

The aroma of the tea is intoxicating and fills the room, making one feel as if they are floating on air. This is a top-grade, third-level spiritual tea, a truly wonderful thing.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, smelling the aroma of tea, bowed respectfully and explained their identities and purposes.

After Li Yunjing explained the matter clearly, the four important figures from Wanghai City stopped drinking tea. The matter of Baisha Island made them frown.

Fire Dragon King, Canglan Zhenren, Red-Clothed Young Woman, Lin Kai, Yunfei Zhenren's Dojo, Xuanzi Yan...

All of this shocked the four important figures.

"Master Canglan? Never heard of him. Could he be from the 'Canglan Continent'?"

An old Taoist priest with white hair frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke softly.

This man was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, a ruddy complexion, and bright, piercing eyes; he had absolutely no connection to the word "old man."

His aura was as deep and vast as the ocean, giving him the appearance of a highly accomplished sage.

"That's getting interesting! People from the Canglan Continent have traveled millions of miles, crossing vast oceans, to come to our territory. What are their intentions?"

The city lord sneered.

This city lord was a burly man with a square face, a straight nose, a wide mouth, and three strands of black beard that reached his chest.

He exuded a murderous aura, clearly a ruthless and decisive character.

Even among their own people, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were somewhat afraid of this person.

"Lord City Lord, I heard from Lin Kai that they came together as seven siblings, but now only three remain."

Li Yunjing stood obediently to the side and added.

"Ha ha……"

The white-bearded, white-haired old Taoist priest and the other two deputy city lords, a man and a woman, chuckled softly.

"Young people these days are quite something."

Another deputy city lord, who looked like a middle-aged scholar, chuckled.

"This little guy is trying to outsmart us! How amusing!"

The important figure, who resembled a girl in purple, also smiled.

Despite being teased by important figures, Li Yunjing remained unfazed, acting as if he had no idea what they were talking about.

Yu Yunyi, standing beside him, looked a little embarrassed, her face flushed and her head lowered.

"Hmm! This intelligence was very useful! As the city lord of 'Wanghai City,' I will reward each of you with ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."

How could the city lord not know Li Yunjing's little scheme?
He glanced at Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, chuckled, and casually tossed two storage bags towards them.

"Thank you, City Lord! And all the Deputy City Lords!"

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi quickly bowed.

Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones are not much for Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, but for ordinary cultivators, it is an astronomical figure.

This is the reward Li Yunjing received for delivering the message to Yu Yunyi.

Of course, Li Yunjing came to report this news not for this reward.

The most important thing is that the appearance of Canglan Zhenren and Huojiao Wang may stir up trouble in the sea and affect the interests of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

Disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" like Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi naturally had no choice but to take responsibility in such matters.

If you can't solve it yourself, you should report it to higher-ups so they will take notice.

In fact, although the four important figures didn't say anything, they were very satisfied with Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi's performance.

In just a short while, the four of them learned about Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi's background information.

The four were very satisfied with the emergence of such outstanding disciples from their sect, especially the fact that two of them were able to escape safely from such a dangerous situation, which surprised them greatly.

Only those at the Golden Core stage knew just how powerful the Fire Dragon King was.

The actions of Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi have been recorded by the four people. They are just waiting to confirm the authenticity of the information before it is sent back to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" for record-keeping.

The true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" do not lie on the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and leech off its resources. Every true disciple has made great contributions to secure their position.

The information about Yu Yunyi and Li Yunjing, these prospective true disciples, has already qualified to appear in the eyes of the higher-ups.

Compared to the rewards from "Wanghai City," Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were more concerned about the records that the four important figures had submitted to the sect.

The comments from influential figures far outweigh any material rewards for Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi's development.

After accepting the reward, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi said goodbye and left.

They couldn't participate in the conversations of important people.

Li Yunjing and his companion were not qualified to discuss solutions to the "Baisha Island" issue with the important figures.

This is not something that Li Yunjing or Yu Yunyi should concern themselves with.

Having reported the information and obtained the resources, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were able to leave.

There's no need to worry about irrelevant things.

After Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi left the City Lord's Mansion, they went directly to the teleportation array, intending to use it to teleport to a nearby market and quickly return to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Three days later, "Shenxiao Mountain Range".

When Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi returned, they both felt a sense of loss and change.

The Shenxiao Mountain Range remains as majestic and imposing as ever. At the end of the dragon-like stone steps, the gate to the Guest-Greeting Peak still stands tall, and a group of outer sect disciples are still on duty here.

Ma Ye, whom I used to know, is no longer here. He has entered the inner sect and is seeking a better position elsewhere.

Among these outer disciples were some of Ma Ye's former subordinates.

Upon seeing the two prominent figures, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, these people all stepped forward to greet them.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi gave a few perfunctory replies and then went behind the door.

“My husband, I’m going back to ‘Chaoyang Peak’ to go into seclusion.”

Standing in front of the teleportation array, Yu Yunyi looked at Li Yunjing with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

After their intimate and unreserved contact, Yu Yunyi became even more attached to Li Yunjing.
