Liu Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thankfully, Xiao Zhenchuan was insightful and perceptive, otherwise your reckless behaviour would have been troublesome!”

Jiang Yuan smiled: “Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Liu.”

“Who cares about you!”

Liu Jie glanced at him and then said: “Since there’s no problem, I’ll go first, and when you enter the inner sect, I’ll invite you for a drink to celebrate!”

“OK! I’ll thank Senior Brother Liu in advance!”

Liu Jie smiled, then left with Liu Rushi.

But at this moment, after stopping, Jiang Yuan felt even more pain inside his body.

With the help of Shu Xiaoxiao, he returned to his own courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door.

As everyone closed the door and looked into the courtyard, they noticed the old man standing there.

At this time, bamboo leaves rustled down on his head.

Falling on his dry white hair and his simple clothes.

But he seemed to blend into the universe, motionless, harmoniously fitting in. There were a few butterflies and birds slowly landing on his shoulders.

[Name]: Kong Nian

[Realm]: Ninth Level of Divine Bridge Realm

[Innate Qi Yun]: Late Bloomer (Purple), Accumulate Thinly But Strike with

Great Force (Blue), Master of Object Control (Blue), Formation Apprentice

(Green), Genius of Strange Gates (Green)

[Late Bloomer]: The older, the better the talent for cultivation, and the higher the comprehension.

[Accumulate Thinly But Strike with Great Force]: The deeper the accumulation, the stronger the eventual explosion, infinite accumulation of foundation, can help break through any bottlenecks.

[Master of Object Control]: Special divine sense that is extremely good at controlling objects.

[Formation Apprentice]: Has a good talent in the formation. [Genius of Strange Gates]: Has a good talent in Strange Gates.

[Detecting 53 Luck Power, would you like to absorb?] Upon seeing the prompt, Jiang Yuan was startled.

How could he store so much?

53 strands?

Jiang Yuan didn’t have time to think about it, he answered silently in his heart.

[Yes!]

Then he bowed respectfully towards the man: “Greetings to you, senior!”

He nodded in acknowledgment, breaking the state of unity with the world instantly.

“You are very good! Do you know your troubles are not small?”

Jiang Yuan nodded: “I know! With Zhou You acting this way, there must be someone behind him!”

Kong Nian smiled: “You’re sharp as a hawk! But don’t worry, Supreme Mystery Sect does not tolerate killing each other. Since I know about this, you won’t be in danger! ”

Jiang Yuan hurriedly thanked him: “Thank you, senior!”

“That’s unnecessary!” Kong Nian shook his head: “If the rules of the sect are disregarded, the Supreme Mystery Sect would have no reason to exist, let alone survive hundreds of years! Forbidding disciples from killing each other is the bottom line!”

He then looked at Jiang Yuan: “Supreme Mystery Sect is divided into seven branches, do you have any thoughts of taking a master and joining the other sects?”

Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought.

Choosing a master is not to be taken lightly.

There’s a saying in this world, a day as a student means life as a child.

Once you have a master, it’s as kin.

Truth be told, he never had this thought.

With the Status Panel, his future definitely wasn’t limited here, and he wouldn’t be confined to the Supreme Mystery Sect in this life.

In the future, if he were to leave after taking a master, how could he face his master.

Moreover, he had already looked into it.

The Supreme Mystery Sect is divided into seven branches. The Heavenly Pillar Peak is the main branch. Those living on Heavenly Pillar Peak are either personal disciples of the Sect Leader or inner sect disciples.

If he joins any of the other six Peaks, he would need to join their branch and his living place would be those Peaks.

Apart from the main peak, Heavenly Pillar Peak, there are inevitable disputes among the other six peaks due to the interests. Although these disputes are good-natured.

But they also bring about many unnecessary troubles.

There were many disciples who chose not to join any of those six branches, and they live and practice peacefully on Heavenly Pillar Peak. Although the resources are a bit scarce.

But the win is in freedom, staying away from sect disputes and more conducive to practice in peace.

Liu Jie and Liu Rushi were representatives of these disciples.

With those thoughts in mind, Jiang Yuan made up his mind.

It was enough to be an inner sect disciple.

After all, being a personally transmitted disciple only meant obtaining more guidance from a master and access to more cultivation resources.

Beyond that, there wasn’t much difference when compared to an inner sect disciple.

Moreover, as he initially stated, even if Tantai Ming genuinely bore ill will towards him.

He should be okay under her restraint, or least based on his understanding, things should be okay within the Sect.

This was a righteous Sect, not a demonic one.

Then he shook his head: “I have no intention of seeking a master! I’m content just being an inner sect disciple and cultivating peacefully!”

All of a sudden, Kong Nian looked surprised.

He glanced at Jiang Yuan, his initially prepared proposition to mentor him was stifled in his throat.

Then, he sighed slightly internally.

Well then!

This matter couldn’t be forced!

The future was long. If he wanted to seek a master later, he could always ask again!

He then said, “In that case, if you want to enter the inner sect, you must participate in the examination for inner sect disciples.”

“If you can secure the first place, the reward is very generous. There are a thousand low-grade spiritual stones, a bottle of second-grade top-quality Qi Absorbing Pill, and the option to choose an additional technique from the

Techniques Hall’s second floor.”

“But…” Kong Nian hesitated for a moment before continuing: “These rewards are only for the first-place winner. If you finish second or third, you can only choose an additional technique. The person most likely to get first place in the Class A compound is a third tier Meridian Breaking Realm cultivator! ”

Jiang Yuan nodded: “Thank you for the guidance!”

He lifted his foot ready to leave, then paused for a moment.

“If you ever consider seeking a master, you can find me at Heaven Lead Peak.

Its doors will always be open for you!”

After that, he left a bottle of medicine in front of Jiang Yuan.

“This is a second-grade Life Revival Pill. Take it at regular intervals, and your meridians can be fully healed within a month!”

As his words fell, his figure disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Yuan let out a sigh of relief. Standing before a honcho like that was tremendously stressful!

Then he picked up the Life Revival Pill in front of him.

This senior was a decent person.

What a pity!

I ultimately have to chart my own path in life. I’ll have a chance to repay him in the future!

The Supreme Mystery Sect is only one stop in the journey of life.

After seeking a master, there would be too many entanglements which could become troublesome for him in the future.

Right now, the most important thing was the reward for the first place in the inner sect exam.

Having digested a massive amount of general knowledge about the world of cultivation yesterday, he understood how vital cultivation resources were.

The first place prize, even for an inner sect disciple, would take ten years to accumulate. It was extraordinarily generous.

Inner sect disciples earn ten low-level spiritual stones per month.

Although this equates to ten thousand pieces of silver which is a hefty amount for mortals, for cultivation practitioners, it’s barely enough to slip into the gaps between their teeth.

Spiritual stones are necessary for practicing, eating, drinking, and even more so for medicinal pills and dharma tools.

Without resources, one depends on daily meditation, drawing spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth for cultivation.

The speed of breaking through the stages would be as slow as a crawling tortoise!

That’s why many inner-door disciples completed sect tasks to earn resources.

For him, spiritual stones weren’t just resources for cultivation.

They were also one of the means for him to acquire new Innate Qi Yun.

Certain heaven-defying treasures could improve one’s origin, just like the Soul-condensing Drink.

It allowed him to defy the heavens, change his fate, and give birth to new Innate Qi Yun.

In his hands, any low-grade Innate Qi Yun.

Even if it was at the most preliminary white level, it could continue to be upgraded under the effect of his Status Panel.

In this way, his talent can further improve.

Having arrived at the Supreme Mystery Sect and met various heaven geniuses, Jiang Yuan understood that although his talent was good.

It had no overpowering strength.

Shu Xiaoxiao even possessed two Golden Innate Qi Yun.

Compared to her, he had a long way to go.

Moreover, Shu Xiaoxiao couldn’t possibly be a unique existence in this world!

If he wanted to savor the best bits of his journey, he couldn’t lack resources, talent, determination, or luck!
