Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 280 Seeing Old Friends Again
"Sigh! My punishment has come down."

Li Yunjing sighed again.

"What punishment?"

Xu Wuyi was a little confused. What was going on? Wasn't he supposed to be promoted to a true disciple and come to receive a reward?

Why did a punishment suddenly come into play?

Seeing Xu Wuyi's anxious expression, Li Yunjing stopped teasing him and said, "Our boss is also inside. He's been thrown into the Divine Prison and imprisoned for three years!"

As he spoke, Li Yunjing extended his index finger and pointed to the sky.

"hiss……"

Xu Wuyi understood immediately; it was Palace Master Qin who personally ordered the punishment of Li Yunjing!
He was a little confused, so he pulled Li Yunjing away from the vicinity of the "Shenxiao Palace" and asked in a low voice, "Little Ancestor, what trouble have you gotten into this time that made the Palace Master punish you personally?"

"Hey!"

Li Yunjing shook his head and laughed, "I'm innocent!"

Seeing that Xu Wuyi did not believe him, Li Yunjing had no choice but to recount what happened at the City Lord's Mansion in the "City of Glory".

"You really are innocent!"

After listening to Li Yunjing's account, Xu Wuyi revealed a smile and said gloatingly.

I never thought that Li Yunjing would have this day!
Anyway, it's only a three-year imprisonment, not a long time, so Xu Wuyi naturally won't worry about Li Yunjing and can laugh at him to his heart's content.

"Huh? Brother Xu, you have no compassion at all?"

Li Yunjing glared at Xu Wuyi with a sidelong glance, revealing his dissatisfaction.

"Hahaha! You deserve to be taught a lesson. Locking you up for three years is a good thing!"

Without a shred of sympathy, Wuwu laughed loudly.

"Sigh! That's true! Let it be shut down! Our boss did give me a set of the 'Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array' after all."

However, before Xu Wuyi's laughter could continue, Li Yunjing's words left him dumbfounded.

"What...what did you say?"

"Nothingness asked, stammering."

His eyes were filled with shock; he simply couldn't believe that Li Yunjing had actually obtained a third-tier attack formation.

With the "Great Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array", wouldn't Li Yunjing be able to refine even Golden Core Realm demon cultivators to death?

"Oh, right! The Sect Master said I can go to the fifth floor of the 'Scripture Pavilion' and choose any mental training method. I also need to go to 'Splendid Peak,' so please excuse me!"

Before Xu Wu could react, Li Yunjing delivered another blow.

"Oh shit!"

Even a cunning and shrewd old man like Xu Wuyi completely lost his composure and couldn't help but curse.

At this moment, Xu Wuyi really didn't want to continue talking to Li Yunjing. He saw the head steward of the "Seven Star Palace" walk down the mountain without turning his head.

"Hehe! Brother Xu, wait for me! Just kidding!"

Li Yunjing chuckled and took a few steps, walking alongside Xu Wuyi.

This time, Xu Wuyi really didn't want to talk to Li Yunjing. He rolled his eyes at Li Yunjing, lowered his head, stepped onto the stairs, and walked down.

It's easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down the mountain.

On the contrary, Li Yunjing and Xu Wuyi felt no pressure descending the mountain from "Shenxiao Peak" and were able to make their way to the mountainside at a normal pace.

Along the way, Li Yunjing said all sorts of nice things and smiled apologetically until Xu Wuyi finally forgave him.

It's just that emptiness brings bitterness to the heart!

He had spent three hundred years to achieve his current status, but he had no hope of obtaining these two benefits from Li Yunjing.

As the old saying goes, comparing people is a recipe for disaster, and comparing goods is a recipe for disaster!
Xu Wuyi felt a growing sense of crisis. Perhaps in just a few years, he would be overtaken by this kid, Li Yunjing.

Thinking about this, Xu Wuyi had the idea of ​​resigning from his position as the Grand Steward of the Seven Star Palace.

Perhaps it's time to calm down and properly prepare for breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

After the two arrived at the teleportation array, Xu Wuyi had something on his mind and did not accompany Li Yunjing to "Jinxiu Peak". The two separated at the teleportation array, one teleporting to "Seven Star Peak" and the other to "Jinxiu Peak".

Having returned to "Jinxiu Peak", Li Yunjing could be considered to have returned home in glory.

When countless disciples of "Jinxiu Peak" saw Li Yunjing wearing the "Great Sun Daoist Robe" and with the "Purple Gold Token" hanging from his waist, they all knew that this legendary fellow disciple had been promoted to a true disciple!

Many people who knew Li Yunjing came forward to greet him, especially members of Li Yunjing's team. After learning that Li Yunjing had returned, some of the rested people came to Li Yunjing's side and tried to get close to him.

The difference between inner disciples and true disciples is like heaven and earth.

Inner disciples are just disciples; at best, their treatment is slightly better.

However, true disciples are different. They are the lowest-level core members of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," the hope of the sect, rich and powerful, and have a very bright future.

Such a disciple has a high probability of advancing to the Golden Core Realm.

Even if things don't go well in the future, he'll still be an elder in the sect.

Who wouldn't fawn over someone like that?

"Hehe! Let's get together sometime in the future. I have something to do today, I have to go to the 'Scripture Pavilion', so I'll treat you next time!"

Having finally shaken off his fellow disciples, Li Yunjing sighed softly.

These people have lost their value to Li Yunjing.

These people hadn't joined Li Yunjing before his rise to power, and there was no real affection between them. Naturally, Li Yunjing wouldn't waste his energy or breath on them.

If these people really wanted to join him, Li Yunjing would put them under the command of Jin Shouyun, Su Guo, Ma Xingyuan, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan.

We entered the "Scripture Pavilion" again.

As Li Yunjing, he went straight upstairs to the second floor. However, this time, Li Yunjing did not stop. Instead, he turned around and went up to the third floor.

The second and third floors are for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The difference is that those who have just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm can go to the second floor, while those who are true disciples or those who are in the late Foundation Establishment Realm can go to the third floor to learn more advanced knowledge.

When Li Yunjing went up to the third floor, the Foundation Establishment Realm guards at the door did not stop him; Li Yunjing was entitled to come and go freely.

However, to the guards' surprise, Li Yunjing did not go to the third floor, but instead went up the stairs to the fourth floor.

When Li Yunjing appeared on the fourth floor, several guards stopped him.

"Senior brother, the floors above the fourth floor are places that only Golden Core Realm elders can set foot in. Please wait here."

The guard was very polite.

True disciples hold a high status, even if they are both at the Foundation Establishment stage, and in terms of cultivation level, these guards are even at a higher level than Li Yunjing.

But it didn't work!
Faced with the gleaming "Great Sun Daoist Robe" and "Purple Gold Token," no one except those at the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm dared to act presumptuously in front of Li Yunjing. "Junior brother," he said, "I have been ordered by the Supreme Master to go to the fifth floor of the 'Scripture Pavilion' to freely obtain a mental cultivation method. The seniors on the fifth floor of the 'Scripture Pavilion' should have received the notification. Could you please inform them for me?"

Li Yunjing said with a smile.

"what!"

The guards were all startled upon hearing this.

The way everyone looked at Li Yunjing changed. Everyone looked at Li Yunjing with awe. A true disciple is indeed remarkable!
The difference between an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator and a true disciple is like heaven and earth, incomparable.

This is the difference between menial disciples and inner disciples.

"Alright! Senior brother, who are you?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who stopped Li Yunjing asked cautiously.

“I am Li Yunjing from the Seven Star Palace. Thank you for your help, junior brother.”

Li Yunjing smiled calmly and spoke softly.

He was filled with mixed emotions, never expecting that while his strength hadn't improved much, his status had become worlds apart.

These are just true disciples. If they become elders, who knows how much power and convenience they will gain within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

"Alright! Senior Brother Li, please wait a moment! I'll report this right away!"

The cultivator dared not delay and quickly headed towards the fifth floor.

A quarter of an hour later, the cultivator came down and said somewhat awkwardly, "Senior Brother Li, the elders upstairs request that you go up; there's no need to announce your arrival."

"Thank you!"

Li Yunjing nodded and then leisurely went upstairs.

Upon reaching the entrance to the fifth floor, there were still Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the entrance. These people were already quite powerful; all four guards were at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.

When Li Yunjing arrived, no one stopped him, and he easily entered the fifth floor of the "Scripture Pavilion".

The fifth floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" was different from the second floor that Li Yunjing had visited; it was half the size.

The space on this floor is not very large, and the layout inside is almost the same as that on the second floor, except that the stone houses have been replaced by pavilions and towers.

This floor has only ten pavilions and towers, and the environment is very nice.

Behind the main entrance was a reception desk where several men and women in the late Foundation Establishment stage sat chatting. Li Yunjing told them his story, and the staff on the fifth floor looked at him with surprise before registering his information.

One of the women said, "Pavilion No. 3, one day, you can choose one mental training method."

"Thank you!"

Li Yunjing accepted the voucher and, with the temporary token for the fifth floor of the "Scripture Pavilion," entered a pavilion.

The house was lavishly constructed, a first-class living environment, with a small garden, burning incense for relaxation, and comfortable chairs...

Li Yunjing felt just as comfortable here as he would in his study at Qiwu Villa.

A ten-foot-long light screen flashed the names of various classic texts.

Li Yunjing did not operate the light screen to select books, but instead kept looking at the titles of books that kept flashing in front of him.

Cultivation techniques, various attribute-based cultivation methods, supernatural abilities, and the mental training method that Li Yunjing has been longing for...

Li Yunjing was dazzled by the countless wonderful things he saw.

All of this content involves valuable items for those in the late Golden Core stage.

To be honest, Li Yunjing wanted every single one of them!

He even wished he could live here permanently, spending a hundred years memorizing all the contents of the books.

This idea is just something to think about, nothing more!

He actually did it, and I reckon he'll be thrown out by a powerful figure at the Golden Core stage within two days.

In the end, Li Yunjing chose a book called "Purple Cloud Forging God Heavenly Secrets Technique".

These are the books that Li Yunjing carefully considered and chose.

This book not only allows one to train their spiritual senses using thunder magic, but it also contains the ability to calculate celestial secrets.

"The Art of Heavenly Secrets" can predict one's own fortune and misfortune, and increase one's spiritual sensitivity.

For Li Yunjing, this book, "The Purple Cloud Forging Divine Secrets Technique," is a double win, making it his absolute favorite.

Having selected his target, Li Yunjing immediately activated the token and retrieved the "Divine Firmament Forging Heavenly Secrets Technique" from the light screen.

As soon as the book fell into Li Yunjing's hands, his vast divine sense immediately merged into it, constantly flipping through the pages and recording every word and every image.

For an entire day, Li Yunjing did not attempt to comprehend the "Divine Firmament Forging Heavenly Secrets Technique," because its contents were too vast, and even Li Yunjing could not possibly master it all at once.

Li Yunjing's only thought was to memorize the contents of the "Divine Firmament Forging Technique" thoroughly in one day, and then slowly comprehend its mysteries after he went to the Divine Prison.

A day later, having completed the important task of memorizing the "Divine Firmament Forging Technique," Li Yunjing felt his entire brain was incredibly heavy.

However, the content of the "Divine Firmament Forging Technique" was too extensive and profound. Even with Li Yunjing's abilities, his mind was already beyond his capacity.

Li Yunjing simply couldn't digest most of the content in "The Divine Firmament Forging Technique". According to Li Yunjing's estimate, it would take him more than three to five months to successfully cultivate this divine technique.

This is definitely the most difficult martial arts technique that Li Yunjing has ever encountered.

However, the fact that Li Yunjing could memorize all of the content was already an extremely terrifying thing.

Even a cultivator at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm would find it difficult to master the "Divine Firmament Forging Heavenly Secrets Technique" in three to five days.

In terms of memory alone, Li Yunjing surpasses a Foundation Establishment Stage 7 cultivator by a factor of three to five!
Not to mention cultivators of the same level at the second stage of the Foundation Establishment realm!
Li Yunjing believed that he could definitely leave cultivators of the same level far behind.

At this moment, when the time came, Li Yunjing shook his heavy head and patted it. He still felt a little dizzy, but he still stood up, pushed open the door, and prepared to leave.

After Li Yunjing completed the closing procedures at the front desk, amidst the surprised gazes of several male and female cultivators, just as Li Yunjing was about to leave the fifth floor of the "Scripture Pavilion," he saw a familiar figure.

"senior!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed and quickly walked over, shouting out.

"It's you……"

The old man in purple robes turned his head and looked at Li Yunjing with a hint of surprise, sizing him up.

"You're doing well! You've been promoted to a true disciple?"

The old man still wore the same gentle smile as always, but he looked much older than before.

For no apparent reason, Li Yunjing felt her eyes redden.

This is a Golden Core Realm elder from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
