"Yes, Master!"
Li Yunjingâs face beamed with a smile, and he thought to himself, "So the Master Qin is actually named Qin Jiuxiao! What a great name! So powerful!"
Master Qin waved his hand, indicating that Li Yunjing did not need to be overly formal, and then said, "Since youâve joined my sect, Iâll give you a greeting gift."
While speaking, Master Qin took out a crystal-clear jade scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yunjing: "This is the first half of the âSeven-Star Dao Scriptureâ, one of the core inheritances of the Seven Star Palace. Take it and comprehend it well."
Li Yunjing accepted the jade scroll with both hands, feeling the vast aura contained within it, and was deeply shocked.
The âSeven-Star Dao Scriptureâ is the treasure of the Seven Star Palace!
It is said that cultivating it to the utmost can invoke the Power of the Stars, with boundless might.
Master Qin directly granted him the first half, showing the importance placed on him.
This is also the true heritage of the Seven Star Palace!
Within the Shenxiao Dao Sect, several large institutions have their powerful inheritances, and the âSeven-Star Dao Scriptureâ is the formidable inheritance of the Seven Star Palace.
"I will diligently cultivate and not let down the generous gift of my master!"
Li Yunjing said solemnly.
"Those who cultivate the âSeven-Star Dao Scriptureâ are no more than thirty, you must not pass it on to others!"
Master Qin nodded and then said, "Since youâve joined my sect, you must remember the sect rules. My disciples must prioritize the interests of the sect, cannot bully the weak, and must not harm fellow disciples. If violated, I will not be lenient!"
"Disciple will adhere strictly to the masterâs teachings, not daring to violate the sect rules!"
Li Yunjing quickly said.
Master Qin glanced at him, his tone slightly softening: "Alright, you may leave! If you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to come here to find me."
"Yes!"
Li Yunjing cupped his hands in salute and respectfully said, "Disciple takes his leave."
Leaving the courtyard near the cliff, Li Yunjingâs mood was still difficult to calm.
He never expected that today, he would not only receive the âSeven-Star Orderâ but also join Master Qinâs sect, becoming his ninth direct disciple.
Everything happened so suddenly, like a dream.
Xu Wuyi was standing not far away, and when he saw him coming out, he greeted him with a smile: "How was it? What did Master want you for?"
"Hehe!"
Li Yunjing took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and said with a smile: "Elder Xu, the Master has accepted me as his disciple."
"What?"
Xu Wuyi was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, "The Master accepted you as his disciple? Youâre quite fortunate!"
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Indeed, I didnât expect it either."
Xu Wuyi patted his shoulder and said with emotion, "It seems the Master has high hopes for you! You must strive hard and not let down the Masterâs expectations."
Li Yunjing nodded solemnly and said, "Rest assured, Elder Xu, I will give my all."
Xu Wuyi smiled and said, "Alright, since youâve been accepted by the Master, weâre fellow disciples now. If you need anything, feel free to come to me."
"What?"
Li Yunjing was a bit dumbfounded, looking at Xu Wuyi in confusion.
"Hehe! I am your senior brother! The Masterâs eighth disciple!"
Xu Wuyi said with a playful smile.
"Really?"
Li Yunjing was still in disbelief, he asked suspiciously, "Then why didnât you call him Master instead of always calling him Master Qin?"
"Hey! Youâll find out over time!"
Xu Wuyi said with a smile: "Our teacher doesnât like mixing personal relationships when discussing official matters! When alone with the Master, you can call him teacher! But in public, you should call him Master Qin!"
"Oh! I understand now!"
Li Yunjing then believed.
Of course, the bigger reason was that Li Yunjing didnât believe Xu Wuyi would dare impersonate! If this information got to the teacher, with the teacherâs ways, Xu Wuyi would surely be reincarnated.
This life would be over.
"Arenât you going to call me senior brother?"
Xu Wuyi asked with a smile.
"Junior brother greets senior brother!"
Li Yunjing ceremonially bowed, laughingly calling out.
"Hahaha!"
The two exchanged a smile and then walked shoulder to shoulder towards the Seven Star Palace.
"By the way! What about the others above?"
On the way back, Li Yunjing curiously asked.
"The seven senior brothers and sisters are all Golden Core Realm experts! Even the eldest senior brother has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm! Apart from those who are in seclusion, they are all scattered across various places!"
Xu Wuyi explained.
Li Yunjing nodded, indicating understanding.
The higher the cultivation, the longer the seclusion.
Qi Refining Realm cultivators in seclusion for a month are considered long-term!
Foundation Establishment Realm cultivatorsâ long-term seclusion is counted by years!
As for Golden Core Realm cultivators, one seclusion could last decades!
In the short time since he joined, Li Yunjing had seen far too many people he hadnât encountered.
Through Xu Wuyiâs introduction, Li Yunjing understood the capability of his teacherâs disciples!
One Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, seven Golden Core Realm cultivators, and himself, the invincible one in the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Nine disciples, not a single mediocre one!
Even if Xu Wuyi seemed unimpressive, it was because Li Yunjing was too extraordinary.
Xu Wuyi, taken to the East Sea, was a character who could defeat opponents across three or four tiers effortlessly!
Xu Wuyi and Li Yunjing, having formed a brotherly bond, deepened their already excellent relationship.
Returning to the Seven Star Palace, with Xu Wuyiâs help, Li Yunjing began to take over responsibilities.
Soon, the Seven Star Palace issued an announcement, Li Yunjing officially became Master Qinâs last disciple, and as the First Steward, he took charge of the Seven Star Palace!
