Imdiately, he boarded the ox cart and returned to the Biyun Sect first.
Half a year later, five true disciples returned to the sect.
At the sa ti, the results of the first trial ca out.
Zhou Zheng, due to a lack of willpower, was demoted to an Inner Sect Disciple.
Li Ping’an, as the Chief True Inheritor, not only bore the responsibilities of the chief but also demonstrated the comprehensive abilities of the Chief True Inheritor, truly deserving the title and earning a reward of one thousand sect contributions.
The performances of Yao Rui and the other two were comndable but left room for improvent, rewarding three hundred contributions.
A month later, Li Ji’an successfully broke through to the late period of Qi Cultivation.
At the age of eighteen, achieving the Qi Cultivation 7th Layer, this could rank among the top five in the millennium history of Cangyun State.
Besides spiritual talent, willpower, and disposition, it depended more on the cultivation techniques practiced and the supply of spiritual resources.
However, the speed of cultivation in the early stage is not entirely proportional to one’s final achievents.
History has seen many who achieved success young, only to ruin their prospects eventually.
There are also those who succeed later in life, achieving great things with solid foundations.
Just like the three current True Pill Elders of Biyun Sect, none of them had fast cultivation speed in their youth. Xiao Changfeng, even as a Loose Cultivator in a previous life, had no significant advantage in cultivation speed compared to Li Ji’an.
"Avoid arrogance and impatience!" Faced with Guo Wanzhi’s congratulations and the flattery of his junior brothers and sisters, Li Ji’an’s mind was as clear as a mirror, without a hint of pride.
After sending off the people who ca to congratulate, Li Ji’an slightly frowned.
Just now, when Guo Wanzhi ca to congratulate, she ntioned that Xu Xiaochun unexpectedly went to the Black Pool Cave, and the Soul Jade that Xiao Changfeng later gave on behalf of Li Ji’an had already shattered.
Xiao Changfeng had already gone there.
"That guy’s courage is growing." Fortunately, the Soul Lamp that Xu Xiaochun left in the sect has not been extinguished yet.
Shaking his head with a sigh, Li Ji’an felt powerless.
"Ping’an! Co to the main hall." At this mont, the Sect Leader sent a ssage.
Li Ji’an nodded silently but then laughed softly, waiting for Xiao Changfeng to be absent?
Since returning to the sect, he had actually been waiting for the Sect Leader to speak.
He ended up waiting a whole month.
Soon, Li Ji’an arrived at the main hall.
"Ping’an, have a seat." The Sect Leader looked kindly and approachable.
"Li Ping’an pays respects to the Sect Leader, Elder Tian." Li Ji’an, seeing the two people not sitting in high positions but casually in the hall, greeted them respectfully.
Elder Tian, rarely without a stern face, smiled and waved his hand, "Ping’an, there’s no need for formality, have a seat."
After Li Ji’an sat down, the Sect Leader and Elder Tian exchanged a glance. Then the Sect Leader spoke: "Ping’an, we’ve called you here today to make a request."
"Sect Leader, you speak too highly of . Ping’an, raised by the sect, should naturally contribute to it." Li Ji’an solemnly cupped his hands.
The Sect Leader hastily motioned for him to stop: "No need for excessive decorum, but indeed, we have a request of you this ti."
"Please speak candidly, Sect Leader."
"Alright, I’ll be direct. On this occasion, during your trial, I heard you used a miraculous secret technique which doesn’t seem to co from the Scripture Pavilion of our sect." The Sect Leader stared directly at Li Ji’an.
Li Ji’an decisively nodded: "That’s correct, the ’Illusory Leaf Clone’ was taught to by my master, its exact origins are unknown."
’Illusory Leaf Clone’ is rely an ancient wood elent technique, but it might initially involve spatial divine abilities. If cultivated deeply, it might indeed possess the miraculous ability of space shifting.
However, this ancient magic is not easy to cultivate. After studying it for two lifetis, he only reached the early stage of the second layer.
Moreover, it only consists of a four-layer technique, and it is very likely there is a lower section.
The reason for using this technique publicly during the trial was because of the crisis at the ti, and there was no other more effective way to deal with the six thief cultivators. He never intended to hide it from the sect.
In this life, regardless of whether it was his accumulation over two lifetis, the spiritual resources and Dao Field provided by the sect were real kindness.
Having received kindness from the sect, he was obliged to repay it.
However, truly living and dying with the sect, knowingly throwing himself into danger, was not feasible.
In a mont of crisis, he could only escape, and at worst, he would return later to collect the sect’s remains.
Therefore, being able to hand over this technique to the sect could repay the sect’s nurturing kindness, and he could walk more freely and without regret in the future.
