"Senior Brother, this is my Identity Token. I am here to attend a gathering held by True Disciple Yu Yunyi."
Li Yunjing had already grown accustod to this and handed over his Identity Token directly.
"Ah! You are Li Yunjing! Junior Brother Li!"
The four Inner Sect Disciples guarding the Teleportation Array couldn’t help but exclaim, giving Li Yunjing several glances. Clearly, Li Yunjing’s recent reputation in the Shenxiao Dao Sect had reached their ears.
"Indeed, it’s !"
Li Yunjing touched his nose and shook his head slightly, his smile a bit awkward.
He had been encountering these troubles quite often recently.
Perhaps with the passage of ti or the occurrence of so major event, his na would gradually fade from the mories of his fellow disciples.
"Hahaha! So you are Junior Brother Li! We have all heard of your renown, truly impressive!"
The leading Inner Sect Disciple laughed heartily, then pointed up the mountain and said, "Since you are here for Senior Sister Yu’s gathering, then head up the mountain! Follow this path, and upon reaching the mountain, simply ask around to find out where Senior Sister Yu resides!"
As he spoke, the Inner Sect Disciple revealed a hint of envy.
Yu Yunyi’s friends were all very famous figures. The gathering had been held twice already, and these guards had seen so of the attendees.
Almost all were True Disciples or very renowned Inner Sect Disciples.
As for Outer Disciples, none had ever appeared.
But for Li Yunjing, who could slay Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, he was undoubtedly a standout individual who would sooner or later be promoted to the Inner Sect or beco a True Disciple.
Given that he ca by invitation, these Inner Sect Disciples didn’t find it surprising.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brothers!"
Li Yunjing nodded gratefully and then headed up the mountain.
Along the way, Li Yunjing didn’t need to ask anyone for directions. Little Ling’Er, after receiving his benefits, had been very diligent. The map was clearly marked, allowing Li Yunjing to reach the Red Sun Valley’s back mountain smoothly.
Similar to the Mad Extre Peak, this place also had a congregation area for the True Disciples.
There were over a hundred large courtyards, each spanning several acres.
These were privileges that only True Disciples could enjoy.
Following the map’s directions, Li Yunjing quickly arrived at Yu Yunyi’s residence.
The huge garden was incredibly spectacular, seemingly no less grand than Fu Chao’s mansion.
"You are here."
Yu Yunyi stood at the entrance, inviting two friends into her courtyard. She spotted Li Yunjing and greeted him with a gentle smile.
Yu Yunyi’s long, black hair hung down to her slim waist, her exquisite features rosy and delicate, with willow eyebrows above bright, ink-black phoenix eyes that sparkled with a captivating charm.
Her rosy lips added to her already stunning beauty.
A bright yellow Daoist robe perfectly showcased her curves.
"Miss Yu, it’s been a long ti!"
Li Yunjing smiled and greeted her, then nodded to the two standing with her, offering a kind smile as a greeting.
The two with Yu Yunyi, a young man and a young woman, both wore green robes, clearly also Inner Sect Disciples.
The young man was spirited and confident, chatting easily with Yu Yunyi without any sense of distance from a True Disciple.
The young woman was quite attractive, but still a step below Yu Yunyi in beauty.
With a faint smile, the young woman turned to Li Yunjing and said, "You must be Li Yunjing? Your recent fa is well-known. Many Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters in the Inner Sect have spoken of you."
"Hehe! Senior Sister is too kind. I am rely a newcor with much to learn from all of you, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."
Li Yunjing had grown used to such praise and responded lightly, without any sense of unfamiliarity.
Clearly, he had said this many tis before.
"Enough with the modesty, Li Yunjing. Those able to co here are all top figures in the sect with bright futures ahead."
Yu Yunyi chuckled.
"Senior Sister Yu is absolutely right!"
The young man nodded confidently, "I have a seventy-percent chance of becoming a True Disciple within three years! In five years, I’m confident I will succeed! I am only a step behind the current True Disciples."
The young man radiated confidence.
"Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection!"
Li Yunjing’s heart sank. A boy of fifteen or sixteen had cultivated to such a degree?
"Li Yunjing, let introduce you. This is Yang Wenzheng from the Celestial Craft Hall, a young artifact refining genius at the Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection and a Tier One Advanced Refiner too!"
Yu Yunyi introduced the young man, "Once Wenzheng breaks through to Foundation Establishnt, he’ll imdiately beco a Tier Two Refiner!"
"Brother Yang, truly impressive! My utmost respect!"
At this mont, Li Yunjing was genuinely impressed. This young man indeed had talent!
As for calling him Senior Brother?
There was no other way around it!
Besides family, the sect ranked disciples by Servants, Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, and True Disciples. Among peers, they ranked by cultivation level and then by age if cultivation was the sa.
In the Cultivation Realm, age did not dictate seniority.
Strength was everything.
"Hmm! You’re not bad either! If you need any Magical Artifacts refined, co to . I’ll give you a special price!"
Yang Wenzheng nodded confidently.
"This is Yang Wen Yue, Wenzheng’s sister, a top-tier genius with Qi Cultivation Realm Eighth Layer and a pharmacist at the Immortal dicine Pavilion, very impressive!"
Yu Yunyi introduced the young woman next.
"Yu Sister, you’re too kind! I still have much to learn compared to other Senior Brothers and Sisters in the Immortal dicine Pavilion."
Yang Wen Yue modestly replied.
Clearly, she and her brother had contrasting personalities: one was assertive and confident, while the other was humble and reserved.
Li Yunjing exchanged a few more words with Yang Wen Yue before following Yu Yunyi and the others into her mansion.
At this mont, in the thousand-square-ter living room, a dozen young n and won were seated. Each had a wooden table in front of them filled with spirit fruits and fine wine.
Among them were four True Disciples in yellow robes. The other ten were top Inner Sect Disciples, each exuding strong auras.
With a glance, Li Yunjing could tell that all were elites, whose combat power was not to be judged solely based on their cultivation realms.
Among these people, Li Yunjing recognized two familiar faces.
Fu Chao’s presence was not surprising.
Recently, the Fu Family and the Yu Family had been quite close, so Fu Chao’s appearance was understandable.
The other person, however, made Li Yunjing’s heart skip a beat. It was Xu Xun from the Law Enforcent Hall.
At this mont, this Senior Brother from the Law Enforcent Hall had shed his battle armor and wore a white Daoist robe, exuding an ethereal aura.
Xu Xun’s status was high enough that he was not bound by sect regulations to wear specific attire.
"True Disciple!"
Li Yunjing thought to himself, "It seems Xu Xun is not only a mber of the Law Enforcent Hall but also a True Disciple! That’s why he enjoys such privileges!"
"This makes sense! If Xu Xun, with his prowess, couldn’t secure a spot as a True Disciple, the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s True Disciples must be extraordinarily powerful!"
Through his observation, Li Yunjing saw that none of the attendees were at the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
Clearly, Foundation Establishnt True Disciples had their own circles, separate from the likes of Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao. Even Xu Xun, in their eyes, was slightly inferior.
As Li Yunjing and his company entered, they naturally drew the attention of others, including Xu Xun, who glanced over.
His gaze lingered on Yu Yunyi for a mont before moving to Li Yunjing.
This prodigy, seemingly calm and gentle on the surface, was truly formidable and violent in action.
The ferocious battle scenes still lingered vividly in Li Yunjing’s mory.
"Li Yunjing!"
Xu Xun was initially taken aback, then smiled. However, as his eyes t Li Yunjing’s, Li Yunjing felt a sharp pain and had to avert his gaze.
"Such strong spiritual cultivation!"
The showdown through their gazes revealed to Li Yunjing that Xu Xun’s spiritual cultivation far surpassed that of an average Qi Cultivation Great Perfection cultivator!
Such spiritual will seed on par with the steward from Red Sun Valley!
A match for a Foundation Establishnt expert!
"His strength is indeed formidable! Why is he targeting ? Could it be because of Yu Yunyi?"
Li Yunjing, avoiding Xu Xun’s gaze, wondered if there had been any conflict between them, considering only one possibility ca to mind.
His glance subconsciously fell on Yu Yunyi beside him.
Yu Yunyi seed unaware of the underlying tension, happily chatting with another female True Disciple.
Could it be that Xu Xun’s animosity stemd from jealousy over Yu Yunyi?
If so, had he failed to win her over?
Thinking of this, Li Yunjing chuckled to himself, "So you’re that kind of person! I thought you were a paragon of the sect, yet you can’t even resist a woman!"
"The more you pursue Yu Yunyi, the harder I’ll make it for you!"
Seeing Li Yunjing divert his eyes, Xu Xun smiled faintly, speaking warmly, "Junior Brother Li, your achievents are truly remarkable. It was a pleasure to fight alongside you."
With Xu Xun’s praise, the others turned their attention to Li Yunjing.
They showed keen interest in the sole Outer Disciple present.
Their group ford due to personal developnt and family connections, consisting of top talents, each with absolute confidence of becoming a sect steward.
Foundation Establishnt was a certainty for them.
Li Yunjing’s presence signified Yu Yunyi’s acknowledgnt of his qualifications.
No one doubted Yu Yunyi’s judgnt, but they wondered what had allowed Li Yunjing to rise so quickly?
This Outer Disciple was shrouded in mystery.
"Li Yunjing, I have heard of your na. You’ve been quite prominent lately."
A woman in a cyan Daoist robe, graceful and icy, approached Li Yunjing.
Her icy gaze sent a chill through Li Yunjing, as if she were an unapproachable block of ice.
