Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 435 Sow good seeds, reap good fruit

That Long Feiyang is quite formidable; it's said he'll soon break through to the Golden Core realm as well.

But what can he do?
He's all alone, without even a trusted confidant!
You have to do everything yourself!
Such a person will never be able to gain great power in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Even if he becomes an elder, he will only be an elder in name only!
Aside from fighting and killing for the sect, they would receive almost no benefits.

When you're hanging around in a behemoth sect like the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," having power is definitely a plus!

Li Yunjing had long seen through this, which is why he actively developed his power and prepared to compete for the position of sect leader.

At this moment, based on the reports from these high-level officials, he began to assign tasks in a targeted manner.

Li Yunjing first changed his style and became more assertive in his attitude towards the outside world.

Subsequently, Li Yunjing ordered these core leaders to rectify the discipline of the "Zixiao Party," eliminate some scoundrels, and remove spies from other forces.

Of course, that's all!
Since they were all from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," Li Yunjing could not possibly have killed a fellow disciple.

Then he won't even be able to save his life, let alone go to the hell prison!
Any small team or organization must exist within the framework of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and abide by its sect laws.

After dealing with the internal affairs of the "Purple Cloud Party", Li Yunjing began his intensive cultivation again.

He integrated some of the skills he had acquired during his training abroad, further enhancing his strength.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing also took some time to visit the sect's "Scripture Pavilion" to look up some information about the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm" in preparation for future adventures.

After more than a month of seclusion in the "Scripture Pavilion," Li Yunjing emerged from his retreat.

Instead of going back, he went up to the third floor to pay his respects to the elders of the "Scripture Pavilion".

"Li Yunjing, you've arrived!"

The black-clad elder of the "Scripture Pavilion" gestured for Li Yunjing to sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Disciple Li Yunjing greets Elder Yue!"

Li Yunjing bowed and sat down gracefully.

With his current strength, Li Yunjing has no fear of these elders and will not be timid or hesitant because of the difference in their cultivation levels.

"Hehe! I heard you caused quite a stir as soon as you got back?"

Elder Yue looked at Li Yunjing and said meaningfully.

In the past month or so, the "Zixiao Party" has become extremely arrogant!

In various branches of the sect, a counterattack began against the forces that had previously suppressed them.

These actions plunged the sect into chaos.

Many people began to complain to the elders who were their backers.

There was no conflict here at the "Scripture Repository"!
After all, there is an independent system here, and also, Li Yunjing used to be a member of the "Scripture Pavilion".

There wasn't much conflict here with Elder Yue, and no one came to complain.

Li Yunjing smiled slightly, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked calm and composed.

He put down his teacup, looked calmly at Elder Yue, and said indifferently, "Elder Yue, I originally did not wish to get too involved in the disputes within the sect. However, many factions are acting too domineeringly, and if they are not stopped, they may affect the foundation of the sect."

Upon hearing this, Elder Yue's eyes flashed with approval.

He nodded slowly and said, "The various factions are deeply intertwined, and each has several elders supporting them. Do you think you are powerful enough to rule the world?"

"more or less!"

Li Yunjing's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was still calm: "Within the sect, strength is paramount. As long as you are strong enough, no obstacle is worth fearing."

Upon hearing this, Elder Yue's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he laughed, "It seems you've had quite a haul in the East Sea this time!"

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly, but instead of answering directly, he asked, "Elder Yue, what is your attitude towards the 'Purple Cloud Party'?"

Elder Yue pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "As an elder of the 'Scripture Pavilion,' I should not interfere in the affairs of the sect."

"How far your 'Purple Cloud Party' can grow, my Scripture Pavilion will remain neutral!"

Li Yun nodded, already understanding.

He then asked, "Where is the purple-robed elder who once helped me?"

"Oh? You're asking about him? Is there something you need?"

Elder Yue's heart stirred, and he asked in return.

"I didn't know about that senior's situation before, but later, as my cultivation improved, I learned that the senior must have been injured!"

Li Yunjing paused for a moment, then continued, "I recently obtained some rare and precious treasures in the East Sea, which are very effective in healing injuries!"

"I wish to see that senior! I want to offer him my treasure so that he can be healed!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Elder Yue's expression turned solemn, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he looked directly at Li Yunjing, hoping to discern some sincerity in his expression!
Li Yunjing remained calm and composed, looking at Elder Yue without flinching.

After a long while, Elder Yue's gaze returned to calm, and he said indifferently, "That senior was once a prodigy of the sect!"

"Now, I am half-crippled and my serious injuries are difficult to heal."

"Even with the strength of your sect, you couldn't cure it. What makes you think you can spout such nonsense?"

Elder Yue's words were somewhat impolite.

However, Li Yunjing remained calm after hearing this, but a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

He slowly took out a jade box from his bosom, gently opened it, and immediately a rich spiritual energy spread out. Inside the jade box lay a "white jade ginseng"!
"This is 'White Jade Ginseng,' produced in the East Sea. It has medicinal properties accumulated over 30,000 years. I plan to offer it to you when I see you, senior, to help you restore your cultivation."

Li Yunjing placed the jade box on the table and said in a calm tone, "This medicine has excellent effects. Although it may not be able to cure that senior's injuries, it can at least relieve his pain and help him recover some of his strength."

"Good guy!"

Elder Yue looked at the "white jade ginseng" in the jade box, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

As an elder of the "Scripture Pavilion," he was knowledgeable and naturally recognized the item.

"White Jade Ginseng" is indeed a holy product for healing injuries; even in the treasure trove of a sect, one might not be able to find more than a few plants.

The fact that Li Yunjing could bring out such a precious treasure shows his sincerity.

Why are you so concerned about that senior?

Elder Yue shifted his gaze from the jade box to Li Yunjing, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry.

"One should repay kindness with the greatest gratitude!"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and said, "When I first entered the sect, I was guided by that senior and benefited greatly. If it weren't for his help, I would have been delayed for a while, which would have affected my development. Now that I have made some progress in cultivation, I naturally want to repay the kindness I received back then."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yue remained silent for a moment before finally nodding: "Since you have this intention, I will take you to see him."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing was overjoyed and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Yue."

"I also hope that Senior Brother Li can recover from his injuries and regain his former glory!"

Elder Yue waved his hand, stood up and said, "Come with me."

The two left the "Scripture Pavilion" one after the other and headed deeper into the sect.

After passing through a quiet bamboo forest, the two arrived at a secluded valley.

There was a simple thatched hut in the valley, surrounded by medicinal herbs, and the air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

"I never imagined that this was where that senior lived!"

Li Yunjing nodded secretly, feeling a surge of excitement within him.

If his own elixir could truly save this senior's life, he would feel better.

Elder Yue stood in front of the thatched hut and said softly, "Senior Brother Li, Junior Brother has brought Li Yunjing to pay a visit."

"Junior Brother Yue, you've arrived!"

A moment later, a hoarse voice came from inside the thatched hut: "Li Yunjing? That little guy?"

Li Yunjing stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the thatched hut, and said, "Senior, your disciple Li Yunjing has come to pay his respects."

"Creak..." The door of the thatched hut slowly opened, and an old man dressed in purple walked out.

His face was gaunt and his body thin, but his eyes were still bright and piercing, exuding a sharp and imposing aura.

"What brings you here?"

Elder Li asked calmly.

Li Yunjing took out the jade box and presented it with both hands: "This disciple found a 30,000-year-old 'White Jade Ginseng' in the East Sea and has come to offer it to you, senior, hoping it can help you heal your injuries."

Elder Li, dressed in purple, glanced at the "white jade ginseng" in the jade box. A flicker of emotion crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He shook his head and said, "My injuries cannot be cured by ordinary elixirs. I appreciate your kindness, but you should keep the 'White Jade Ginseng' for yourself!"

Li Yunjing did not take back the jade box, but said firmly, "Senior, I know your injuries are extraordinary, but this ginseng might be able to alleviate some of your pain! I also have other healing treasures!"

Elder Li, dressed in purple, remained silent for a moment before finally sighing, "Fine, since you are so persistent, I will accept it."

He took the jade box, looked at Li Yunjing with a complicated expression, and said, "Your current cultivation level is quite surprising to this old man. It seems that you have not been slacking off all these years."

"Senior, you flatter me. I was just lucky to make a breakthrough."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and said, "By the way! Do you think this thing will be useful to you?"

As they were talking, Li Yunjing handed a gourd to Elder Li.

"what is this?"

Elder Li curiously took the gourd, opened the stopper, and immediately a fragrant aroma wafted out.

"The source of life?"

Elder Li was shocked; his hand gripping the gourd trembled slightly.

If the "White Jade Ginseng" only surprised him a little, the "Fountain of Life" brought him a huge surprise!
The shock almost made him lose his composure completely!
Elder Li gripped the gourd tightly, his eyes fixed on the crystal-clear liquid, as if afraid it would disappear before his eyes.

His breathing became rapid, and a rare look of excitement appeared on his withered face.

"The fountain of life...it really is the fountain of life!"

Elder Li's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of undisguised elation flashed in his eyes.

"call……"

Seeing this, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this "source of life" plays a crucial role in Elder Li's injuries.

This item is rumored to have the miraculous power to reshape the physical body and repair the soul.

It should also be effective against a powerhouse like Elder Li!

"Senior, will this item be helpful for your injuries?"

Li Yunjing asked softly.

"Have!"

Elder Li took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, and slowly nodded, saying, "It's more than just helpful! This item is enough to restore more than 70% of my injuries! Li Yunjing, where...where did you get this item?"

"hey-hey!"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and said, "This disciple obtained it during my training years ago! It was clearly a valuable item at the time, which is why I kept it, not daring to waste it! I believe it can heal you, senior!"

That was three parts truth and seven parts falsehood. No matter how grateful he was for Elder Li's kindness, he would never reveal all his secrets!

That's a huge treasure!

The Shenxiao Dao Sect, the Louguan Dao Sect, and several affiliated sects and families went to great lengths to enter the underground palace and compete for treasures, but in the end, the best things were in their own hands!

Can this secret be revealed?
Absolutely not!

Li Yunjing was prepared to keep this secret to himself!
Thinking of this, the image of Master Canglan suddenly appeared in Li Yunjing's mind!

This person has been silent all these years, probably hiding away to recover from his injuries.

This person also obtained some "life source", and it is estimated that he has returned to his peak and his cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
Or perhaps we could go even further?
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm?
Thinking of this, a shadow crossed Li Yunjing's eyes.

If Master Canglan has truly risen to power, they certainly won't let him go!
In the shadows, Li Yunjing had another terrifying enemy!

Li Yunjing wasn't even confident in dealing with Canglan Zhenren, who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, let alone Canglan Zhenren who had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

At this moment, Elder Li heard Li Yunjing's words and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

He remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Li Yunjing, I only gave you a few pointers back then, I never expected you to be so loyal and righteous. This thing... I will accept it. However, I cannot take your things for nothing."

As he spoke, Elder Li took out a jade slip from his robes and handed it to Li Yunjing: "This item records all the knowledge I have acquired. I hope it will be of use to you!"

"Thank you for transmitting the Dharma, senior!"

Li Yunjing took the jade slip, glanced at it, and was shocked. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

Elder Li waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities! Since you have such an opportunity, your future achievements are limitless. However, the situation within the sect is ever-changing, so you must be careful."

After a pause, Elder Li continued, "I know you are eager to vie for the supreme position of sect leader, but you cannot be careless! Within the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' there are several vice sect leaders at the Golden Core realm. Their cultivation is profound, and you may not be their match!"

"Disciple understands!"

Li Yun nodded and said in a deep voice, "However, I am confident! In the years I have spent in the East Sea, I have killed quite a few Golden Core cultivators and demon kings!"

"Oh?"

Elder Li glanced at him, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and said, "Very well, since that's the case, I won't say any more. You may go now, and if you need anything, you can come to me anytime."

Li Yunjing cupped his hands in a salute and said, "This disciple takes his leave."

Elder Yue, who was standing to the side, looked pleased with himself upon seeing this.

Plant good seeds, reap good fruit!
The cycle of cause and effect leads to unhappy retribution!
Back then, Senior Brother Li admired Li Yunjing's talent and gave him some pointers. Ten years later, this young man rose to prominence, bringing Senior Brother hope for recovery!
If Senior Brother Li can recover 70% of his strength, coupled with the collection of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect", it will be enough to restore his body to its peak condition!
Senior Brother Li, Li Cangqiong!
He was someone who competed with the Supreme Leader for the throne back then!
If it weren't for an accident that resulted in serious injuries, it would be uncertain who would have won or lost between the two!

Such a prodigy, returning against all odds, is bound to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!
The Shenxiao Dao Sect has gained another overlord-level master!
Both publicly and privately, Elder Yue couldn't stop smiling, finding Li Yunjing more and more pleasing to the eye!
This later foreshadowed the downfall of Li Yunjing, the founder of the "Scripture Pavilion" lineage.

Li Cangqiong went back to his room to recover from his injuries.

Elder Yue gestured to Li Yunjing that he could leave.

After the two left the thatched hut, Li Yunjing fell silent.

"Hehe! Young man, you did a great job this time! I didn't expect you to bring out such precious things! I have to admire you!"

Elder Yue stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"These are things I should do!"

Li Yunjing, on the other hand, showed no expression. He had been doing what he wanted and had no reluctance whatsoever.

"Alas! Senior Brother Li is having a tough time too!"

Elder Yue sighed and, on the way back, briefly recounted Li Cangqiong's deeds to Li Yunjing.

This greatly shocked Li Yunjing!
I never imagined that the sickly senior had such an impressive background!

I've met the Sect Leader Supreme Li Yunjing several times, and I've even seen the Sect Leader Supreme take action!
Even today, Li Yunjing still feels awe when he recalls the demeanor of the Sect Master. Senior Li Cangqiong was actually a genius on the same level as the Sect Master!

This made Li Yunjing even happier!

As a disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", is there anything more fulfilling than saving a peerless genius of the sect?
"So this is ah!"

Li Yunjing exclaimed in admiration.

"By the way! You've received Senior Brother Li's inheritance, so you must cultivate diligently! Don't take it lightly!"

Finally, Elder Yue added, "Back then, Senior Brother Li said that if he were to die, he would pass on his legacy to you! I never imagined that he wouldn't have to die now!"

With a jolt, Li Yunjing was shocked, only then realizing how good Senior Li had been to him!
This made Li Yunjing extremely happy!
If it weren't for a stroke of luck, how could I have had the opportunity to repay this old man?
He eagerly anticipates that one day, the name Li Cangqiong will once again resound throughout the Southern Continent!

As Li Yunjing and Junior Brother Yue left, Elder Li, inside the thatched hut, looked at the gourd in his hand, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

He murmured to himself, "Li Yunjing, this young man is resolute and loyal; he is destined for greatness. With him in the sect, perhaps a new era will truly dawn..."

After saying that, he sat down cross-legged and began to refine the "Fountain of Life".

As streams of pure life force flowed into his body, his withered face gradually regained its color, and his aura grew stronger and stronger.
