Mortal's Journey: Reborn as Xin Ruyin, she begins by possessing Qi Yun's body.

Wang Xing no longer had high expectations for Han Li's aptitude, and given the sect leader's previous instructions that Han Li would be personally arranged by the sect leader.

He decided not to linger any longer, and without waiting for Han Li's spiritual test results, he turned around and waved to Qi Yunxiao and the others.

"Disciples, follow me."

"Your disciple obeys."

Qi Yunxiao and the others responded in unison, following Wang Xing's footsteps as they walked out of the Spirit Testing Hall.

As Qi Yunxiao stepped out of the hall, he subconsciously glanced back at the heavy gate of the Spirit Testing Hall, a meaningful smile quietly appearing on his lips.

Others may not know Han Li's background, but he knows it all.

Han Li actually possesses four spiritual roots, a pseudo-spiritual root aptitude. Such aptitude is considered bottom-tier in the cultivation world, resulting in extremely slow cultivation speed, making ordinary sects unwilling to accept him.

He secretly wondered what the Zhongling Sect Master's expression would be if he saw Han Li's spirit test results and learned that the cultivator who held the lost Ascension Token for hundreds of years was actually such a low-level pseudo-spiritual root.

Was it more shock? Or disappointment?

This thought flashed through Qi Yunxiao's mind, and he quickly looked away and followed the group ahead.

Now is not the time for curiosity; receiving the initiation items and familiarizing ourselves with the sect's rules are the most important things right now.

As for Han Li, the Zhongling Sect Leader will personally make arrangements; he only needs to observe the situation.

Inside the Spirit Testing Hall, as the hall doors slowly closed, silence instantly returned, leaving only Zhong Lingdao and Han Li.

Zhong Lingdao turned around, his gaze falling on Han Li, and said in a calm tone, "Young friend Han, step into the formation and let me see your spiritual root aptitude."

Han Li bowed slightly and replied, "This junior obeys."

His expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest hint of tension.

He knew that his spiritual root aptitude was very poor, perhaps only four or even five spiritual roots.

He knew this might disappoint Zhong Lingdao, but he didn't panic. After all, he held the Ascension Token, and his entry into the sect was already a done deal.

Wang Xing led Qi Yunxiao and ten others out of the Spirit Testing Hall. As they walked, he patiently explained the details of the sect to them.

His tone was calm yet solemn: "My Huangfeng Valley is one of the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom, with numerous disciples."

There are tens of thousands of Qi Refining stage disciples, but only a few hundred Foundation Establishment stage disciples.

Only those who advance to the Foundation Establishment stage can become the backbone of the sect.

There are several grandmasters in the sect who have reached the Core Formation stage, but these grandmasters spend most of their time in seclusion and are rarely seen.

Of course, if there are any major events in our sect that require the intervention of a Core Formation stage master, they will also step in to handle them.

As for the only Nascent Soul level cultivator in the valley, it is Elder Linghu of our sect.

The ancestor is said to be over nine hundred years old, possessing unfathomable magical power and profound Taoist arts.

However, it is said that the ancestor is no longer in the valley or within the territory of Yue, but has gone on a journey to other states, and no one knows when he will return to the valley.

Furthermore, the sect rules are strict: private duels, theft of sect resources, and collusion with external enemies are forbidden. Violators will be punished ranging from imprisonment for reflection to the abolition of their cultivation and expulsion from the sect. You must remember these rules.

He added some common knowledge about the sect, such as the distribution of spiritual veins, the location of the storehouse, and the time for transferring skills, explaining them in detail, for fear that the newcomers would be at a loss.

Everyone listened attentively, nodding in agreement from time to time, their eyes filled with anticipation for their future life in the sect.

Before long, Uncle Wang led them and flew for an hour or so before finally landing on a lush, tree-covered mountain ridge, where they settled in a dense cluster of flat houses.

Afterwards, Wang Xing led them through the complex of houses, winding their way through the buildings, until they finally stopped in front of a house that was much larger than a typical stone house.

Then, I received the entry benefits from Senior Brother Lin inside.

Everyone received a set of introductory benefits: a yellow silk shirt, a green leaf magic weapon, a set of daily refining tools, a blazing sun sword, a cold moon blade, and a storage bag with ten times the storage capacity.

Qi Yunxiao, relying on his memories from his previous life, clearly knew the origins of this Uncle Lin.

He was originally the young master of the Thousand Bamboo Sect in the far west. Later, the sect's foundation was usurped, and he fled all the way to the Yue Kingdom, eventually becoming a disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley.

Meanwhile, Uncle Lin possesses the first four levels of the Thousand Bamboo Sect's secret cultivation technique, the Great Evolution Technique. This technique is extremely profound, not only strengthening one's divine sense but also increasing the success rate of forming a core in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Yunxiao couldn't help but feel a little envious, and a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.

If he could obtain the "Great Evolution Manual," it would certainly be of great benefit to his future path of cultivation.

However, he also knew that he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, while his Uncle Lin was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The difference in strength was huge, and he didn't even have the right to ask for it, let alone snatch it.

He could only keep these thoughts to himself. He suppressed his desire, carefully put the benefits into his storage bag, and remained humble, showing no sign of his desire.

After receiving their benefits, Wang Xing led everyone to the Transmission Hall.

The Transmission Pavilion is responsible for teaching cultivation techniques to newly initiated disciples. Qi Yunxiao and the others also met the person in charge, Senior Brother Wu Feng.

Then they went to the Hundred Machines Hall to receive sect missions.

……

"Alright, you're basically familiar with Yellow Maple Valley now. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to explore it yourselves!"

After Wang Xing finished speaking, his gaze deliberately fell on Qi Yunxiao, his tone softened and carried a hint of approval: "The sect has a rule that only cultivators at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage or above can reside in Xuankun Mountain."

The spiritual energy there is 30% richer than in the outer valley, making it more suitable for cultivation.

Although you are currently at the eighth level of Qi Refining, given your special spiritual root aptitude—an incomplete Dragon Roar Physique—I will speak with the junior brothers at Xuankun Mountain in advance. You don't need to wait until the tenth level of Qi Refining; you can go directly to Xuankun Mountain to reside today.

Upon hearing this, the other nine disciples, who had all reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, turned to look at Qi Yunxiao.

Qi Yunxiao quickly bowed and said respectfully and sincerely, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Wang. I am deeply grateful!"

Living directly in Xuankun Mountain would be ideal, as the spiritual energy there is more abundant. Being able to move in early would greatly help him cultivate fire-attribute techniques and awaken his Dragon Roar Body.

This care is undoubtedly a timely help.

Wang Xing nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction on his face: "No need for formalities. You are exceptionally talented. You should cultivate diligently and not waste this opportunity."

"You should all settle down and cultivate diligently. If fate allows, we will meet again in the future."

Having said that, he didn't linger any longer. He formed a hand seal with his fingertips, then rode the Azure Leaf magical artifact and departed.

Afterwards, Qi Yunxiao and the others flew together towards Xuankun Mountain.

Upon arriving at Xuankun Mountain, the Foundation Establishment stage senior uncle in charge was already aware of Qi Yunxiao's situation and directly told Qi Yunxiao and the others to choose an empty house to stay in.

Qi Yunxiao went directly to the mountainside of Xuankun Mountain, to an inconspicuous stone house that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

He tidied it up a bit and then moved in.

"Finally, things have settled down!"

Qi Yunxiao then began his cultivation.
