Chapter 407: Chapter 220: Returning to Splendor
When Li Yunjing left the "Donghua Market," he used the teleportation array of the Eastern Mountain Area and then went to "Brocade Peak."
Li Yunjing was very familiar with "Brocade Peak," where he had stayed for half a year.
As soon as he came out of the teleportation array, he ran into some acquaintances who greeted him.
Smiling and dealing with these acquaintances, Li Yunjing skillfully climbed the mountain and entered the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion."
This time, Li Yunjing showed his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, which greatly surprised some of the guards.
Who was Li Yunjing? How could these Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and inner sect guards responsible for the second floor not know?
Li Yunjing was a notable figure on "Brocade Peak" and was also one of the stewards in charge of the first floor’s affairs.
What was his cultivation before, and what is it now?
Everyone was stunned!
They knew Li Yunjing was a genius, but a genius to this extent? This was not just a genius; this was a prodigy!
Li Yunjing’s appearance completely shattered their understanding of the truths of cultivating immortality.
Li Yunjing’s former subordinates, Yan Dingzhi’s former subordinates, as well as Li Yunjing’s superiors and several other familiar inner sect and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, rushed up upon hearing Li Yunjing had arrived, blocking him on the second-floor stairs.
They were all like people at a zoo, looking at something rare and unusual.
This scene left Li Yunjing quite helpless.
"Hey! We’re all familiar folks here. When I have time, I’ll have a gathering for you all, but let me head to the second floor to look at some books first!"
Li Yunjing could only prepare to be generous again.
"Alright! Brother Li, next time, you can also share your cultivation experiences with us!"
An acquaintance chimed in.
"Yeah!"
"Please share!"
...
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they clamored one by one.
"Quiet! Quiet! Don’t forget the rules! This is the ’Scripture Pavilion;’ noise is not allowed!"
Li Yunjing broke out in a sweat as he quickly stopped them from making a fuss.
One must know that the ’Scripture Pavilion’ wasn’t just for these small figures; it was rumored that even Nascent Soul Realm big shots read on the higher floors.
Hearing these words, the crowd instantly quieted down, sweating profusely, not daring to say anything more.
The "Scripture Pavilion" wasn’t a marketplace and couldn’t tolerate noisy people.
They had already broken the rules.
"Everyone, keep it down! Brother Li, remember to contact us! Let’s gather sometime!"
One of their fellow sect members said softly, and then everyone dispersed.
"Phew..."
Li Yunjing could finally let out a long breath.
This was the second time he had received such enthusiastic attention, after defeating a Qi Refining Realm cultivator at the Great Perfection stage with weaker strength.
This kind of scene was a bit too much for even Li Yunjing.
These people were all acquaintances, so he wasn’t comfortable pulling a long face. Otherwise, who knows what rumors they might spread about him later.
In the Shenxiao Dao Sect, one still had to maintain a reputation and connections.
The path Li Yunjing walked wasn’t that of a solitary wanderer without any ties.
There were too many people in the Shenxiao Dao Sect for him to let go of.
Any aspect was not something Li Yunjing could give up.
...
"Hehe! This little fellow is growing quickly!"
On the fourth floor of the "Scripture Pavilion," two old Daoists sat opposite each other. One of them, a black-clothed old man, said with a chuckle.
"Yes! Not in vain that I valued this person."
The other elderly man in a purple robe smiled.
If Li Yunjing were here, he would certainly recognize this elder who had treated him with great care.
Without this person’s cultivation, Li Yunjing wouldn’t have been able to go to the second floor in the Qi Refining Realm and exchange for the "Five Thunders True Method."
Without a super-tier cultivation technique like the "Five Thunders True Method," Li Yunjing wouldn’t have had such strong attack power, allowing him to defeat stronger opponents.
In recent days, Li Yunjing had also asked people to help find the elder’s whereabouts to express his gratitude.
However, this Golden Core Realm master didn’t want the people on the first floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" to know, so Li Yunjing’s old subordinates couldn’t locate him.
"Aren’t you considering taking him as a disciple and passing on your legacy?"
The black-clothed old man asked with a smile.
"Sigh... What’s the point? In the sect, I have neither power nor influence and have offended many real power figures! Besides, I don’t have many years left; why bring trouble to this young guy?"
The purple-robed old man sighed, his expression a little dim, and said, "Moreover, he is doing very well in the ’Seven Stars Palace!’ The Palace Master Qin of the ’Seven Stars Palace’ holds a high status and is respected in the Shenxiao Dao Sect. Being under his tutelage is far better for Li Yunjing’s development than being with me."
"Ah! What a pity!"
Hearing this, the black-clothed old man sighed. What kind of heroic figure was his companion? How did he end up like this?
The black-clothed old man wanted to help, but he was powerless to change anything.
Even the "Heavenly Hospital" in the Shenxiao Dao Sect couldn’t heal his injuries. Those Nascent Soul Realm figures said there was no hope, so what could he do?
The black-clothed old man had thought of suggesting Li Yunjing be taken as a disciple, to continue the legacy.
But his companion rejected this suggestion, and the black-clothed old man understood his reasons.
After all, Li Yunjing had risen too quickly.
He had already drawn the attention of Nascent Soul Realm bigshots.
If such a promising disciple turned to the senior brother, it would indeed affect his future.
If Li Yunjing were a bit less talented, the senior brother might be willing to take him as a last disciple before dying, passing on all his lifelong skills.
