Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

Following behind the other person, we passed through a not-too-long corridor and arrived at a spacious hall that was twenty or thirty feet in size.

Li Yunfan looked up and saw two Foundation Establishment cultivators sitting in chairs, talking in hushed tones.

One of them was wearing a blue robe and looked to be no more than fifty years old, but there was a hint of turbidity in his eyes. However, his cultivation level was comparable to Li Yunfan's, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The other person was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, wearing a dark blue robe, and looked to be in his forties or fifties. His eyes shone with a sharp light, clearly indicating that he was not an easy opponent.

Upon seeing Yun Lei and Li Yunfan enter, the two immediately stopped talking and all eyes were fixed on Li Yunfan, who was walking behind them.

"Sect Leader, this is Fellow Daoist Li Yunfan who has come to seek apprenticeship. Fellow Daoist Li, this is Wu Qingming, the Sect Leader of my Luoyun Sect, and this is Senior Brother Junhong, the sect's steward."

Yun Lei first introduced Li Yunfan to the sect leader, and then told Li Yunfan about their identities.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Wu! Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jun!" Li Yunfan greeted with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're too kind. Junior Brother, you've also worked hard. Fellow Daoist Li, we two will receive you. Junior Brother, you should return to the mountain gate first." Wu Qingming stood up, cupped his hands to Li Yunfan, and then said to Yunlei.

"yes!"

After Yun Lei left, Wu Qingming smiled and looked at Li Yunfan, saying, "Fellow Daoist Li, you've come from afar, please sit down and rest for a while, and try some of the spiritual tea from my Luoyun Sect."

Li Yunfan thanked him with a smile and, without any hesitation, sat down in the chair.

Seeing the other party's unpretentious manner, the two couldn't help but exchange a glance. Then Wu Qingming sat down and waited for a moment before finally asking about the matter of becoming an apprentice.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan explained to the two of them again, this time in great detail, revealing his family background and his escape from Yue Kingdom, but concealing the fact that he had once been a disciple of Huangfeng Valley.

After all, running away from the sect was not a very honorable thing, and he had come to become a disciple. If the other party had any concerns, they might refuse him, which was not something he wanted to see.

However, after he joined the Luoyun Sect, they would definitely send people to investigate. They could find out about his origins in Yue Kingdom and the fact that the Li family moved to Xi Kingdom, but he was not entirely sure whether they could find out about his escape from Huangfeng Valley.

He had no choice but to take a gamble, hoping that the other party wouldn't investigate to the end. After all, he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and even if there were some problems, they wouldn't be a big deal for a top sect like Luoyun Sect.

It's not worth using a large amount of spirit stone resources to investigate him thoroughly just for him. As for whether he will be investigated again later, that's hard to say.

Even if he were investigated again, he wouldn't be afraid, because by then he would have at least reached the Core Formation stage, or even the middle or late stages. Even if he had some blemishes, it wouldn't affect him.

After all, even for a sect like Luoyun Sect, a Core Formation cultivator is not someone that can be easily discarded.

As long as he demonstrates his sincerity through his actions and creates his own value through his abilities, those stains will be nothing.

As expected, after listening to Li Yunfan's words, both Wu Qingming and Jun Hong frowned and looked thoughtful. After a moment, Wu Qingming spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I need to consult my master about this matter and cannot give you an answer for the time being. Why don't you stay in my sect for a few days and familiarize yourself with the sect beforehand? Even if my sect is ultimately not meant for you, the abundant spiritual energy of the Yunmeng Mountains will still benefit you greatly. You might even be able to break through to the Core Formation stage after you leave."

"In that case, I thank Sect Leader Wu in advance. I hope that we can address each other as fellow disciples in the future," Li Yunfan said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

Although the other party's words sounded nice, Li Yunfan didn't believe that the other party was just asking for permission to stay in the sect. He guessed that the other party probably wanted to use this time to investigate whether what he said was true.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingming responded politely, then summoned a Qi Refining stage male disciple and led Li Yunfan to Yingsong Residence located on Tianquan Peak.

That place is used to check the residences of new disciples. It's not time to recruit new disciples yet, so it's a good opportunity for Li Yunfan to stay there for a few days.

"Senior brother, there are no flaws in what this person says, but it's hard to say how much of it is true and how much is false. However, the fact that he can cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment shows that he has good talent. If there are no problems with his background, we can recruit him into the sect. Perhaps we can add another Core Formation cultivator to the Falling Cloud Sect."

After Li Yunfan left the main hall, Junhong slowly opened his mouth and expressed his opinion.

"Let's send someone to Leizhou to investigate and see if there is such a cultivation family as the Li family. As for whether or not to take him in, let Uncle Feng make the decision..." Wu Qingming said with a sigh after thinking for a moment.

"Hmm, it's somewhat unexpected that the other party is from the Yue Kingdom. Should we send a disciple to investigate this as well?" Junhong nodded, and then suggested another direction for investigation.

"Let's send someone to investigate first. The Yue Kingdom is now the territory of the Six Demonic Sects. We can't go too deep. As long as we find out that what they said is true, there's no need to use too many people for them."

Wu Qingming nodded in agreement and handed the matter over to Junhong. He then left the main hall to inform Uncle Feng about the matter.

Meanwhile, Li Yunfan, led by the Qi Refining stage male disciple, was slowly flying towards Tianquan Peak.

To accommodate the Qi Refining stage disciple's speed, he specially took out a high-grade magic weapon, a longsword, to fly; otherwise, with his speed, he would have already left the other party far behind.

"May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?" Li Yunfan asked with a smile, standing on his longsword.

"Ah... Senior, my name is Zhao Lang." The male disciple was startled, clearly not expecting Li Yunfan to suddenly ask a question.

"Young friend Zhao, I have come here today because I wish to join the Luoyun Sect. May I ask if you could tell me more about the sect?" Li Yunfan said with a friendly smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lang's face immediately showed surprise. He had thought that this Foundation Establishment senior was a friend of the sect leader.

After thinking for a moment, he felt that with the other party's Foundation Establishment cultivation, there was a high probability that he could join the sect, and at that time he would be his senior uncle. So, with the intention of building a relationship in advance, he smiled and said.

"What would you like to know, senior? Although our Luoyun Sect is large, it is much simpler than the Ancient Sword Sect and the Hundred Crafts Academy, and we don't have as many complicated rules."

"That's wonderful! Does young friend Zhao know if there's a female cultivator surnamed Song among the Core Formation cultivators in the sect?" Li Yunfan smiled peculiarly and then asked the question he most wanted to know.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Lang shook his head and said, "As far as I know, there is no Core Formation Grandmaster with the surname Song among the sect's Grandmasters."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan frowned, but quickly regained his composure. He then asked a few more miscellaneous questions before smiling and thanking him, before falling silent.

Although Zhao Lang found this somewhat strange, he didn't think much of it and obediently led this senior to Yingsong Residence on Tianquan Peak.
