Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

The Scripture Pavilion is located in the core area of ​​the Star Palace, where spiritual energy is naturally abundant.

It should be noted that Ji Qing had been stuck at the fifth level of Qi Refining for four months.

Now that he has cultivated in such a favorable environment and taken the Heavenly Spirit Pill, breaking through is naturally a matter of course for him.

Ji Qing touched his lower abdomen, feeling the location of his dantian, his mind wandering.

He had a premonition that the day Jin Kui would make his move against him was drawing ever closer.

This really troubled him.

"This kid..."

Seemingly sensing what Ji Qing was thinking, Ling Xiaofeng immediately laughed.

However, he did not offer any explanation.

"Boy, the one-month period has passed."

Now that you've broken through, let's get out of here quickly.

"Yes, Palace Master."

"Then, Palace Master, this junior will take his leave now."

"Okay, go ahead."

Ling Xiaofeng nodded slightly, then flicked his sleeve, and a blue light suddenly swept towards Ji Qing.

Ji Qingwei closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had already left the Scripture Pavilion.

At this moment, he was standing on a deserted mountaintop.

Ji Qing glanced around and immediately understood. He bowed in the direction of the Scripture Pavilion before leaving.

However, no sooner had Ji Qing left than Ling Yuling arrived at the Sutra Repository.

"Dad, where's Brother Ji Qing?"

Ling Yuling glanced around and, seeing that Ji Qing wasn't there, immediately felt puzzled.

Ling Xiaofeng felt a little guilty, so how could he tell her the truth?

He shook his head vigorously, feigning ignorance, and replied:

"You mean that kid? Wasn't he just here? Look for him again."

If he's not here, then he must have left the library.

"Huh? You've left the library?"

Ling Yuling felt a pang of disappointment. She looked sickly and completely lacked energy.

Seeing his beloved daughter like this, Ling Xiaofeng's eyelids twitched, and he whispered:

"Ling'er, your father..."

Ling Xiaofeng was interrupted by Ling Yuling before he could finish speaking. Ling Yuling then filled in the blanks in her mind:

"Brother Ji Qing must have had something urgent to attend to, that must be it."

"Ah, yes, yes, that's it, that must be it."

At this point, Ling Xiaofeng slapped his thigh and said angrily:

"That Xiaoqing is really outrageous. She left without even saying goodbye. It's outrageous."

"Ling'er, you wait. I'll find some time to give him a good beating. He's really outrageous."

"Dad, look at you, doing this again."

"If you dare to hit Brother Ji Qing, my daughter will never speak to you again."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng was speechless.

However, it has a good ending.

"Phew, thank goodness, we've managed to get through this."

Ling Xiaofeng thought to himself as he wiped the cold sweat from his brow, but Ling Yuling noticed him.

"Father, are you hot?" Ling Yuling's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had sensed something was wrong. Ling Xiaofeng noticed this and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

"My daughter, why are you looking at your father?"

Ling Xiaofeng felt guilty and dared not look at Ling Yuling, as if he was afraid that Ling Yuling would notice something.

But Ling Yuling was incredibly perceptive. Seeing her father's attitude, she suddenly understood something:

"Dad, did you send Brother Ji Qing away?"

"ah?

How...how could this be? Does Dad look like that kind of person?

"picture!"

Ling Xiaofeng felt ashamed. This precious daughter was indeed his offspring; she knew him too well.

Ling Xiaofeng swallowed hard, unsure how to respond.

Seeing her father like this, Ling Yuling pressed closer and closer:

"So, Dad, you sent Brother Ji Qing away, right?"

"Daughter, let your father explain. This is all a misunderstanding."

...........

After returning to his cave, Ji Qing looked at the pile of letters on the table and immediately felt overwhelmed.

"How can there be so many?"

After speaking, Ji Qing sat down at the table, picked up a letter, and glanced at it. It read:

"The Thousand Machines Sect is located on Kui Xing Island. It has ten disciples, the highest of whom is at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It is on the verge of collapse."

Tianshui Sect is located on Kuixing Island. It is a female-only sect that engages in prostitution. The highest cultivation level is mid-Foundation Establishment. The sect has eleven disciples. It is quite delicious and very satisfying.

The Thunderfire Sect, with only two disciples, the highest-ranking of whom was at the early Foundation Establishment stage, has already closed down and its sect has been sold off.

Fu Sect…

Ji Qing read dozens of lines in a row, only to feel a headache coming on.

With so many sects, how is he supposed to find them?

Ji Qing touched his face, sighed deeply, and felt helpless.

Ji Qing thought about this for a moment.

I'm not going to hide it anymore.

He simply wrote down the items he needed.

This plan was carefully considered by Ji Qing. There are so many sects now, and if he were to search for them one by one, it would definitely waste a lot of time.

Although the Thunder Bamboo is precious, it only lasts for about a hundred years.

For ordinary cultivators, this kind of Thunder Bamboo is like a chicken rib – useless and worthless.

Therefore, he is not worried about being targeted by others.

That's the decision.

After thinking it over, Ji Qing wrote down the items he needed, then made hand gestures and muttered incantations.

With a soft shout, the sound transmission talisman in his hand suddenly flashed with a bright yellow light. With a "whoosh," the talisman flew out of his hand and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Ji Qing stood by the window, gazing intently for a long time, lost in thought.

"Hopefully we can find it."

..........

About three days later, Ji Qing, who was cultivating, suddenly heard a noise and immediately opened his eyes slowly.

"Huh? What's this...?"

Suddenly, a sound transmission talisman shot towards him from in front of him. It was very fast and arrived at his location in no time.

Ji Qing reached out and took it, listening quietly to its contents, and suddenly realized:

"So it was Elder An who was looking for me."

Ji Qing smiled.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Elder An for two months since participating in the hunting competition and then going to the Scripture Pavilion.

Elder An is a very responsible teacher.

He imparted all his knowledge of alchemy to him.

So when he learned that Elder An was looking for him, he immediately set off for the alchemy room.

The alchemy room was relatively close to his cave dwelling, so he arrived here in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Elder An is currently drinking tea.

Seeing the man's blissful expression, Ji Qing didn't disturb him. Instead, he waited until Elder An finished his tea before bowing respectfully and saying:

"Greetings, Elder An."

"Here you are."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Elder An slowly rose and approached Ji Qing:

"Let's go. It's been two months since I last saw you. I wonder if your alchemy skills have regressed."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qing smiled knowingly and replied calmly:

"Elder An, rest assured, I have already learned most of the alchemy techniques you taught me."

"As long as Elder An wishes, this junior is ready to demonstrate the results to the Elder at any time."
