Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 279 The Thickest Skin

"I remember now! It seems to be a misjudgment of me by a deputy city lord of 'City of Glory'?"

At this point, Li Yunjing was unwilling to plead guilty.

This is absolutely a miscarriage of justice!
Unlike the last time when he murdered his fellow disciple, Li Yunjing didn't think he was wrong.

I absolutely refuse to take the blame for anything that isn't my fault!
Even when facing the supreme leader of the sect and the master of the "Seven Star Palace", Li Yunjing was unwilling to back down!
This isn't like him!

Li Yunjing never takes the blame or gets cuckolded!

"Hmph! You've damaged the alliance between our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' and 'Primordial Yang Dao Sect,' is that a small matter?"

Seeing that Li Yunjing still dared to argue, Palace Master Qin sneered, his face darkened, and he began to reprimand Li Yunjing.

"Forehead……"

Li Yunjing was speechless at his boss's anger, but since the boss held a high position, he dared not speak out and could only lower his head and remain silent.

As for admitting mistakes?

That is impossible!

"Ok?"

When Palace Master Qin saw that Li Yunjing remained silent, he knew that the boy was not convinced, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"hehe!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's stubborn expression, Ming Lingchuan smiled and said, "Since 'City of Glory' has already imposed the punishment, we should respect their decision."

"Ok!"

When Palace Master Qin heard Ming Lingchuan say this, he knew that the Sect Master understood his thoughts and wanted to teach Li Yunjing a lesson.

Palace Master Qin highly values ​​Li Yunjing.

However, Li Yunjing was not an honest person. Once he entered the sect, he became incredibly audacious, daring to plot the assassination of his fellow disciples and to contact various forces to suppress the "Ten Thousand Laws Association".

Now, Li Yunjing is very close to the young girls from the Yu and Lü families, and they have even become Daoist partners. Together with that unruly boy from the Fu family, these people have gathered together to form a huge force.

This gang has more than a dozen true disciples, plus those Foundation Establishment cultivators and inner disciples. Is this kid trying to turn the world upside down and form a second "Ten Thousand Laws Gathering"?
This is the real reason why Palace Master Qin wanted to put Li Yunjing in a bad light!

Within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," there are countless small circles, small teams, and even family forces that collude with each other. However, Li Yunjing's team is definitely an extremely powerful new force.

Palace Master Qin did not want Li Yunjing to get caught up in the power struggle too early. With his Foundation Establishment Realm Level 2 cultivation, his priority was to stabilize his cultivation, work hard, and strive to form his core as soon as possible.

Those trivial matters can wait until Li Yunjing's cultivation level improves before dealing with them.

Li Yunjing was unaware of these good intentions for the time being.

"Since that's the case, I've made a decision: I'll send you to the Divine Prison and imprison you for three years!"

A slight smile appeared on Palace Master Qin's lips as he spoke softly.

The three-year period was also a time for the Qin court to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

Three years is enough time for Li Yunjing to comprehend the knowledge imparted upon advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, as well as to cultivate his supernatural abilities and study the Dao of Arrays, thus focusing his energy on cultivation.

Another point is that three years later, when Li Yunjing is released, his small team may not be able to be controlled by Li Yunjing. By then, this kid will have almost lost his ambition to compete for supremacy.

This multi-benefit plan was exactly what Palace Master Qin intended.

"what?"

Li Yunjing was dumbfounded when he heard what Palace Master Qin said. His big eyes widened as he looked at Palace Master Qin and then up at Ming Lingchuan, hardly believing his ears!

Isn't this a frame-up?

Li Yunjing is even more wronged than Dou E!

Even the image of snow falling in June is insufficient to describe Li Yunjing's feelings!
"Three years is not a long time. You should reform yourself properly in the Divine Prison and focus all your energy on cultivation. This will be a special period of tempering."

Ming Lingchuan offered an explanation.

Palace Master Qin is too domineering. He meant well, but he was always so fierce and unwilling to talk to Li Yunjing. If this kid holds a grudge, it won't be good.

Therefore, as the supreme leader of the sect, Ming Lingchuan offered an explanation.

"Yes! This disciple will obey the decrees of the Sect Master and Palace Master Qin, and will certainly reform myself well!"

The three-year punishment was essentially a period of seclusion. It was at this point that Li Yunjing realized what was going on.

He was so smart that he understood immediately, and Li Yunjing put aside his resentment towards Palace Master Qin. He was very clear that the punishment for entering the Divine Prison would not cause him any harm.

At most, it would just mean restricting one's actions, calming oneself down, and focusing on cultivation for three years, so as not to cause trouble or create complications outside, thus affecting the peaceful situation within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Li Yunjing was also very clear that his current strength was indeed not enough to allow him to be arrogant within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Li Yunjing's status changed after being promoted to a true disciple.

The people he came into contact with afterward were all true disciples, sect elders, and top stewards.

Among the true disciples, apart from a few who lacked ambition, the rest all harbored the ambition to vie for the supreme throne of the sect leader.

Li Yunjing's small team consists of core members Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, as well as Yang Wenzheng and several true disciples, along with some inner disciples with impressive backgrounds.

It can be said that Li Yunjing's team is definitely a force with enormous potential.

Especially some prodigies, like Fu Chao, are always dissatisfied and will inevitably clash with the veteran disciples if they stay in the sect for a long time.

The internal strife was postponed by Palace Master Qin for three years. In addition, it will take some time for Li Yunjing to take action to consolidate the forces and establish his position as the leader of the team three years later.

Without more than five years, it's unrealistic for Li Yunjing to place his people in various desirable positions within the sect.

In an instant, Li Yunjing understood, and he naturally yielded, agreeing to Palace Master Qin's decision.

"Palace Master, my 'Minor Five Elements Formation' has been destroyed, but I don't know how to repair it. I wonder if you could give me some guidance?"

Li Yunjing was obedient and didn't utter a single complaint, but that didn't mean he wasn't willing to accept some benefits.

It was a rare opportunity to speak alone with the Sect Leader and Palace Master Qin, and Li Yunjing was naturally unwilling to let it pass.

Then Li Yunjing took out a tattered array plate, which was just a dozen or so fragments and did not resemble a "Minor Five Elements Array" array plate at all.

Even if Li Yunjing didn't say anything, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator, even a legendary Divine Transformation cultivator, upon seeing this pile of fragments, probably wouldn't be able to distinguish what they were.

Ming Lingchuan and Palace Master Qin looked at each other in disbelief. Was this pile of rubbish the array plate of the "Minor Five Elements Array"?

Why don't they believe it?
"It really is the array plate of the 'Minor Five Elements Array,' which was damaged by a Golden Core Realm expert. This disciple is not capable of repairing it, and I implore the Palace Master to help repair it." Seemingly sensing the great man's disbelief, Li Yunjing emphasized again and shamelessly made the request once more.

"Ugh……"

Palace Master Qin looked at Li Yunjing speechlessly. This kid is really brave!
He has roamed the world for so many years, when has he ever been extorted?
Even when he was in the Qi Refining Realm, Palace Master Qin was an extremely powerful figure. His life was a glorious one, an invincible one. Who would dare to speak to him like that?

Even his disciples wouldn't dare speak to him like that!
Palace Master Qin was truly at a loss when it came to Li Yunjing.

This kid is so bold even in the Foundation Establishment stage. If he becomes a Golden Core stage elder in the future, who will be able to suppress him?

Seeing Li Yunjing staring at him expectantly, Palace Master Qin shook his head helplessly, flipped his wrist, and took out an exquisite array plate from his sleeve.

This array plate is five-colored, like a small tower. Around the tower, five-colored divine light flows, forming a light shield.

Palace Master Qin glanced at the object, flicked his finger, and with a "whoosh," the array plate flew towards Li Yunjing.

"This formation is the 'Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon Extermination Formation' that I casually crafted a while ago. It is ranked third. I am giving it to you for protection. I believe that in the future, when you encounter a Golden Core cultivator, you can use this formation to ensure your safety."

Left with no other choice, Palace Master Qin could only give away an array plate.

As for asking him to repair the "Minor Five Elements Formation," Palace Master Qin knew he didn't have the ability. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't conjure up the "Minor Five Elements Formation" out of thin air.

We can't expect Palace Master Qin to compensate Li Yunjing with a "Minor Five Elements Formation," can we?
Palace Master Qin couldn't possibly have something so low-level. This "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon Extermination Array" was already the lowest-level array plate he could produce.

"Thank you for the reward, Palace Master! This disciple will certainly use this formation to spread the fame of my 'Seven Star Palace'!"

Having received the benefits, Li Yunjing grinned from ear to ear, repeatedly thanking his boss.

"Ugh……"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was like a dog, wagging his tail when there was a benefit, and sulking when there wasn't, Palace Master Qin was helpless and too lazy to say anything more to Li Yunjing.

Then, Palace Master Qin closed his eyes, looking exhausted. Li Yunjing chuckled, knowing better than to disturb his boss any longer.

His gaze immediately fell upon the Sect Leader.

Ming Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Could this kid be coming for me?"

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Yunjing spoke up: "Sect Leader, I have been having a lot of trouble with my cultivation lately. I have been unable to improve my mental strength. I wonder if you could give me some pointers on how to train my mental strength?"

"Ha ha……"

Ming Lingchuan laughed.

He looked at Palace Master Qin, only to see that the man remained silent with his eyes closed. He could only say, "Didn't you learn some methods of mental training?"

"This method won't work!"

Li Yunjing shook his head and immediately explained, "This was a giant bear king that wanted to possess me, but it was powerless and was killed by me in my sea of ​​consciousness! Its Moon Essence Technique is not a human technique, so practicing it would be counterproductive and not worth the effort."

"hehe!"

Ming Lingchuan was so angry he laughed. Was this even human?
A demon king at the Golden Core Realm, possessing the inheritance of his race and a mental training method refined through countless trials, was actually described by Li Yunjing as a method that was more trouble than it was worth.

What kind of madman is this?
Ming Lingchuan was unwilling to say much to a disciple like Li Yunjing; arguing with a disciple would be beneath his dignity!

Ming Lingchuan thought for a moment and said, "I will give the order for you to go to the fifth floor of the 'Scripture Pavilion' and choose any mental training method. Go now!"

"Thank you for the generous reward, Your Excellency!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed and bowed to the Sect Leader.

The fifth floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" contains cultivation methods for the late Golden Core stage, making it a truly important place!

The books there are so valuable that even a Golden Core cultivator would need to accumulate wealth over countless years to afford them.

The transactions there, besides contribution points, also involve high-grade spirit stones!
If Li Yunjing were to cultivate normally, his chances of reaching the fifth floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" would be slim within the next three hundred years.

Of course, not all the unique skills that can be displayed in the "Scripture Pavilion" are top-level inheritances.

Each mountain peak also possesses unique techniques for suppressing destiny.

Those are priceless books; they won't be used to exchange for resources.

This is the best inheritance Li Yunjing could obtain. If he wanted to get something of a higher level, the only way, besides the reward from the Seven Star Palace, was to rely on his own abilities to acquire good things from outside.

As for establishing one's own school of thought and compiling classic texts?

Li Yunjing is far inferior; he shouldn't even think about it. Those Nascent Soul Realm experts cultivate techniques from classic texts passed down through hundreds of thousands of years by their sects.

Now, it's clear that the two important figures no longer "like" him, and Li Yunjing has already received most of the benefits.

He knew when to stop, bowed to the two important figures, and then left "Shenxiao Palace" in a good mood.

As for the three-year detention?
Li Yunjing said he didn’t care at all. If any other Foundation Establishment cultivator could get these two things, it would be worth being imprisoned for three hundred years!
All of these are high-quality items used by Golden Core cultivators; Li Yunjing has truly made a fortune.

Only after Li Yunjing's figure disappeared did Palace Master Qin open his eyes, sigh, and say, "That kid is really not to be trifled with!"

"Hahaha!"

Ming Lingchuan laughed and said, "This disciple of your 'Seven Star Palace' is not one to suffer losses, so you don't need to worry about this kid."

"That's exactly right! This kid really has a death wish, daring to ask us for benefits. This is truly the first time in my life I've ever encountered something like this."

Palace Master Qin chuckled softly and said gently.

He had a very high opinion of Li Yunjing and liked him more and more the more he looked at him. If this kid made some achievements in cultivation and array formation in the future, Palace Master Qin really had the idea of ​​taking Li Yunjing as his disciple.

……

While the two important figures were discussing Li Yunjing, he walked briskly, his face beaming with joy, humming a little tune, as he left the "Shenxiao Palace" and arrived at the main gate.

"How about it?"

Seeing that Li Yunjing looked quite happy, Xu Wuyi knew that the kid must have gotten something out of it.

"Oh no! It's all over!"

Li Yunjing sighed dramatically, managing to force a trace of sorrow onto his face.

"what happened?"

Xu Wu was taken aback and couldn't help but ask.
