Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 436 Finding a Famous Teacher
While this senior was healing, Li Yunjing bid farewell to Elder Yue and returned to the "Seven Star Palace".

It wasn't that he wanted to come back on his own initiative, but rather that his "Seven Star Jade Slip" vibrated, indicating that Xu Wu had emerged from seclusion and was telling him to return immediately!

"I wonder what Elder Xu Wuyi wants with me!"

Li Yunjing muttered to himself.

From the moment Xu Wuyi appeared, he knew that this steward had made great progress in his cultivation and his status had risen another step, becoming an elder of the sect.

As for why he told himself to return quickly?

Although Li Yunjing had doubts in his heart, he did not slow down his pace at all.

He quickly passed through the many halls and palaces within the sect and sped towards the "Seven Star Palace".

Along the way, many disciples saw him and showed reverence, keeping their distance.

Clearly, recently, due to Li Yunjing's return and the aggressive behavior of the "Zixiao Party," Li Yunjing's reputation has spread throughout the sect, making him an existence that no one dares to provoke.

Before long, Li Yunjing arrived at the council hall of the "Seven Star Palace".

As soon as Li Yunjing stepped through the door, he heard a familiar voice: "Li Yunjing, you're finally back."

Looking up, he saw Xu Wuyi standing in the center of the hall, smiling at him.

At this moment, Xu Wuyi's aura was as deep as the sea, and starlight faintly flowed around his body, indicating that his cultivation had greatly improved and he had already stepped into the Golden Core Realm.

"Disciple Li Yunjing greets Elder Xu!"

Li Yunjing stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Hey kid! What are you pretending for!"

Xu Wuyi waved his hand and laughed, "There's no need for such formalities between us."

As the head steward of the "Seven Star Palace", Xu Wu investigated Li Yunjing's information after emerging from seclusion and was almost scared to death!

He had only just broken through to the first level of the Golden Core Realm, while that brat Li Yunjing had already killed several veteran Golden Core Realm cultivators and demon kings in the East Sea!
Does that mean Li Yunjing's current strength is enough to defeat him instantly?
This made it impossible for Xu Wuyi to maintain his airs as an elder.

In the world of cultivation, strength still reigns supreme!
Li Yunjing had power, so he gained status.

Even if Xu Wuyi has a good relationship with Li Yunjing and takes good care of Li Yunjing, the rules of immortality still need to be followed!
"hey-hey!"

Li Yunjing straightened up, chuckled twice, and asked, "I wonder what Elder Xu has ordered me to return?"

"Good thing!"

Xu Wuyi's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I didn't call you back this time! It's the Palace Master who wants to see you!"

"what?"

Li Yunjing's smiling face immediately turned ashen, and he cautiously asked, "What does Palace Master Qin want with me?"

It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid!

Both of Li Yunjing's punishments were issued by Palace Master Qin!
When Li Yunjing saw Palace Master Qin, he was like a mouse seeing a cat!
The highest-ranking boss always presented himself as authoritative, and every time he saw him, he would punish him. It would be strange if Li Yunjing wasn't afraid.

He secretly wondered, "Could it be that I've made too much of a fuss lately, incurring the displeasure of some important figure? Is Palace Master Qin going to punish me again?"

Just thinking about this made Li Yunjing's legs tremble.

You should know that with two punishments, Li Yunjing didn't get a chance to recover for ten years!

If he is sentenced again, who knows where he will be exiled to? Wouldn't he be unable to return for another ten or eight years?

It's so comfortable being in the sect!
He hasn't had enough time yet!
Li Yunjing really didn't want to be exiled at this time.

In particular, he and Fu Chao had already discussed it and decided to go to the front line to see their woman, and then go to the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm" to try their luck!
We can't let this disrupt our plans!

"Hey!"

Upon seeing Li Yunjing's cowardly appearance, Xu Wu couldn't help but burst out laughing. He chuckled, "Aren't you usually so imposing? Why are you acting like a coward now?"

"Elder Xu, please stop teasing me!"

Li Yunjing shook his head, looking distressed, and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Tsk tsk..."

With a strange laugh, Xu Wu glanced at him and nodded, saying, "It should be good news! Palace Master Qin seems very happy!"

"call……"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go!"

Xu Wuyi continued, "The same old place. Come with me to the cliff behind the mountain to pay our respects to the Palace Master!"

"it is good!"

What right did Li Yunjing have to refuse?

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

As for whether it was truly a good thing or not, he no longer had time to think about it.

Li Yunjing followed behind Xu Wuyi, feeling uneasy.

Although the idea of ​​nothingness is a good thing, his awe of the Palace Master Qin was already deeply ingrained, making it difficult for him to completely let go of his worries.

The two remained silent as they passed through the many halls of the "Seven Star Palace" and finally arrived at the cliff edge of the back mountain.

Above the cliff, clouds and mist swirl, and distant mountains rise and fall, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

It's still that familiar, quaint little courtyard.

The Palace Master Qin was standing in the courtyard, hands behind his back, with his back to them, gazing into the distance, seemingly deep in thought.

"Palace Master, Li Yunjing has arrived."

Xu Wu stepped forward and said respectfully.

Palace Master Qin slowly turned around, her gaze sharp as lightning, and looked directly at Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him, and he quickly lowered his head and respectfully bowed, saying, "Disciple Li Yunjing greets Palace Master!"

"Ah."

Palace Master Qin responded calmly, then waved his hand, signaling Xu Wuyi to step back.

Xu Wu bowed slightly, turned and left, giving Li Yunjing a meaningful look before departing, as if to say, "Good luck to you!"

"Damn it! This is the good thing you were talking about?"

Li Yunjing smiled bitterly to himself, but dared not show it in the slightest. He could only stand there with a stiff upper lip, waiting for Palace Master Qin's judgment.

"Li Yunjing!"

The Palace Master Qin's voice was calm and authoritative, "Do you know why I summoned you here?"

Li Yunjing's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "This disciple is foolish and begs the Palace Master for guidance."

"Leader of the 'Purple Cloud Party'?"

Palace Master Qin gave him a deep look and said calmly, "You've been causing quite a stir in the sect lately!"

"Forehead……"

Li Yunjing's heart sank, realizing that it was indeed because of this matter.

This is terrible!

He quickly explained, "Palace Master, please understand, this disciple did not intend to cause trouble. It was just that the other factions were acting too arrogantly, and this disciple had no choice but to take action..."

"No need to explain!"

Palace Master Qin interrupted him, her tone remaining calm, "I do not intend to punish you."

"what?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, looked up at Palace Master Qin, his eyes full of doubt.

“You have made great progress over the past ten years.”

Palace Master Qin continued, "I have seen everything you have done. Your ability to stir up trouble in the East Sea all by yourself, and even kill several Golden Core cultivators, has indeed impressed me."

Hearing this, Li Yunjing breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still dared not be careless. He respectfully said, "This disciple is merely doing his duty and dares not take credit."

"Ok!"

Palace Master Qin nodded and said, "It's good that you have this intention. However, your 'Purple Cloud Party' has been causing too much trouble lately. What do you want to do?"

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's heart stirred, and he cautiously said, "The Sect Master has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and will eventually have to step down to cultivate. This disciple also wishes to take charge of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' and serve the sect!"

"You've got guts!"

With a profound gaze, Palace Master Qin slowly said, "I have decided to officially appoint you as the First Steward of the Seven Star Palace, responsible for all affairs of the Seven Star Palace!"

This order meant that he would succeed Xu Wuyi as the most powerful person in the "Seven Star Palace"!

This is truly a huge benefit!
It was Palace Master Qin who cultivated Li Yunjing!
"This……"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing was startled and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "This disciple will do his utmost to live up to the Palace Master's high expectations!"

After a pause, Li Yunjing braced himself and said, "But I often go out to train and am not the kind of person who can sit still. Will that delay the development of the Seven Star Palace?"

"It's alright! I will have Xu Wuyi assist you!"

Palace Master Qin nodded, then took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yunjing: "This is the 'Seven Star Token.' Holding this token allows you to activate the 'Seven Star Palace's' formation. Please accept it and act with extreme caution." "Thank you, Palace Master! This disciple will swear to defend the honor of the 'Seven Star Palace' to the death!"

Li Yunjing received the "Seven Star Token" and felt its majesty and power, which excited him greatly.

This token not only represents power, but also the trust and expectations that the Qin Palace Master has for him.

At the same time, this was also the turning point for Li Yunjing, who went from being a marginal figure to becoming the most core true disciple and sect leader of the "Shenxiao Daozong"!
With this qualification, Li Yunjing is even more confident in his bid for the position of sect leader.

After all, in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", taking a high position does not depend entirely on martial prowess; leadership is the primary consideration!

Those who can't use their brains and can only fight and kill are warriors, not the commanders of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Li Yunjing realized that Palace Master Qin was paving the way for him!

This deeply moved Li Yunjing!
I never expected that someone as strict as Palace Master Qin would treat me so well!
Li Yunjing was even somewhat at a loss.

Palace Master Qin glanced at him, her tone softening slightly: "Li Yunjing, the future hope of the sect rests on you young people. I hope you can live up to expectations and make great contributions to the sect."

Li Yunjing nodded heavily and said, "This disciple will do his best and will never let the Palace Master down!"

"By the way! I have taken in eight disciples over the years. My lifelong wish is to take in nine disciples to achieve perfection! You have good aptitude and potential for cultivation. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Just when Li Yunjing thought the matter was over, he didn't expect Palace Master Qin to suddenly say such a thing!
This greatly surprised Li Yunjing!
Li Yunjing was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

The Palace Master of Qin actually wants to take him as a disciple.

This is an incredible opportunity!

It should be noted that as the master of the "Seven Star Palace", Palace Master Qin's cultivation is unfathomable and his status is extremely revered.

His disciples are all top talents in the sect and future core figures of the sect.

If he could become a disciple of Palace Master Qin, it would not only mean that he would receive personal guidance from Palace Master Qin, but also that his position in the sect would be completely secured, and he might even rise to the top in one step!
The benefits are enormous!
There's no reason to refuse!
Unless you're an idiot!

Li Yunjing was extremely excited, but on the surface he dared not show the slightest sign of composure.

He took a deep breath, solemnly knelt down, and respectfully said, "Disciple Li Yunjing wishes to become the Palace Master's disciple! In this life, I will do my utmost to live up to Master's high expectations!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Nine resounding thuds!
To show his respect for his master, Li Yunjing did not use his magic to protect his head, but instead kowtowed heavily on the ground!

Palace Master Qin looked at Li Yunjing kneeling on the ground, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"This kid is an honest man!"

Palace Master Qin nodded, gently lifted Li Yunjing's body, and made him stand upright.

"Alright, from this day forward, you will be my ninth personal disciple, Qin Jiuxiao."

The deep voice of the Palace Master Qin rang out.

"Yes! Master!"

Li Yunjing's face beamed with a smile, and he thought to himself, "So Palace Master Qin's name is Qin Jiuxiao! What a great name! How imposing!"

Palace Master Qin waved his hand, indicating that Li Yunjing did not need to be so polite, and then said, "Now that you have joined my sect, I will give you a gift as a token of my respect."

As they spoke, Palace Master Qin took out a crystal-clear jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yunjing: "This is the first half of the Seven Star Dao Canon, one of the core inheritances of my Seven Star Palace. Please accept it and study it carefully."

Li Yunjing accepted the jade slip with both hands, feeling the vast aura contained within it, and was deeply shocked.

The Seven Star Daoist Canon is the most precious treasure of the Seven Star Palace!

Legend has it that when cultivated to its peak, one can draw upon the power of the stars, possessing boundless might.

The fact that the Palace Master Qin directly bestowed the first half upon him shows how much he valued him.

This is also the true inheritance of the "Seven Star Palace"!

Within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," several large institutions each possess their own powerful lineages, with the "Seven Star Dao Canon" being a powerful lineage of the "Seven Star Palace."

"This disciple will certainly cultivate diligently and live up to Master's great kindness!"

Li Yunjing said solemnly.

"Those who cultivate the Seven Star Dao Scripture shall not exceed thirty years of age; you shall not pass it on to others!"

Palace Master Qin nodded, then said, "Now that you have joined my sect, you must remember the sect rules. My disciples must prioritize the interests of the sect, and must not bully the weak or kill fellow disciples. If you violate these rules, I will not let you off lightly!"

"This disciple will humbly obey Master's teachings and would never dare to violate the sect rules!"

Li Yunjing quickly replied.

Palace Master Qin glanced at him, her tone softening slightly: "Alright, you may leave now! If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come here to find your master at any time."

"Yes!"

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

Even after leaving the courtyard near the cliff, Li Yunjing's emotions remained unsettled.

He never expected that today he would not only receive the "Seven Star Token" but also become a disciple of Palace Master Qin, becoming his ninth personal disciple.

All of this happened so suddenly, it felt like a dream.

Xu Wuyi was standing not far away. When he saw him come out, he greeted him with a smile: "How is it? What does the Palace Master want with you?"

"hey-hey!"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and said with a smile, "Elder Xu, the Palace Master has accepted me as his disciple."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wuyi's eyes widened in disbelief. "The Palace Master has accepted you as a disciple? You've really hit the jackpot!"

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that either."

Xu Wu patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion, "It seems that the Palace Master has high hopes for you! You'd better work hard and not let the Palace Master down."

Li Yunjing nodded and solemnly said, "Elder Xu, rest assured, this disciple will do his utmost."

Xu Wu smiled and said, "Alright, now that you've become a disciple of the Palace Master, we're considered fellow disciples. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me."

"what?"

Li Yunjing was dumbfounded, looking at Xu Wuyi in a daze.

"Hehe! I'm your senior brother! The Palace Master's eighth disciple!"

Xu Wu said with a chuckle.

"real or fake?"

Li Yunjing still couldn't believe it. He asked in confusion, "Then why didn't you call me Master? Why did you keep calling me Palace Master?"

"Hey! You'll see in time!"

Xu Wuyi smiled and said, "Our teacher doesn't like mixing personal relationships into official matters! When you're alone with the Palace Master, you can call him teacher! But in public, you must call him Palace Master!"

"Oh I see!"

Li Yunjing then believed it.

Of course, the bigger reason was that Li Yunjing didn't believe Xu Wuyi would dare to impersonate him!
Once this news reaches the teacher's ears, given the teacher's style, Xu Wuyi will definitely be reincarnated.

This is the end of my life.

"You brat, aren't you going to call me 'Senior Brother'?"

Xu Wuyi asked with a smile.

"Junior brother greets senior brother!"

Li Yunjing pretended to bow and called out with a grin.

"Hahaha!"

The two smiled at each other and then walked side by side toward the "Seven Star Palace".

"By the way! What about the seven people above?"

On the way back, Li Yunjing asked curiously.

"My seven senior brothers and sisters are all experts at the Golden Core Realm or above! My eldest brother has even broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm! Apart from those who are in seclusion, they are all scattered in various places!"

"Nothingness explained."

Li Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.

The higher one's cultivation level, the longer one can remain in seclusion.

A month of seclusion is considered a long-term seclusion for a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

Foundation Establishment cultivators' long-term seclusion is calculated in years!
As for Golden Core cultivators, a single period of seclusion can last for decades!

Li Yunjing has only been a disciple for a little over ten years, and there are far too many people he hasn't met.

Through Xu Wuyi's introduction, Li Yunjing gained an understanding of the strength of his teacher's disciples!
One Nascent Soul cultivator, seven Golden Core cultivators, and him, the invincible Foundation Establishment cultivator!
None of his nine disciples are mediocre!

It's just that the void doesn't seem like much, that's because Li Yunjing is too abnormal.

If Xu Wuyi gets his hands on the East Sea, he'll be a formidable figure, capable of easily defeating opponents three or four levels above him!

Xu Wuyi and Li Yunjing became fellow disciples, and their already very good relationship became even closer.

Back at the "Seven Star Palace," with the help of Xu Wuyi, Li Yunjing began to take over the reins.

Soon, the Seven Star Palace issued a notice to all members, officially announcing that Li Yunjing had become the last disciple of Palace Master Qin and would take charge of the Seven Star Palace as the First Steward!
