The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Naturally, the Qi Refining Disciples from the other mountains had no chance to see him.

He indifferently said to this Wei surnamed disciple, “Get lost, go tell Hua Yang Zhen Ren that from now on, disciples of the Hua Yang lineage are forbidden from entering my Yun Yi Peak.”

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the expression of the Hua Yang Peak disciple changed drastically. He knew what this meant – the exchanges between the two Golden Core Peaks were likely to be cut off in the future, “Yun Yi Zen Ren, this has nothing to do with our Sect’s ancestor of Hua Yang Peak…”

Without any expression on his face, Lin Yi waved his hand, a gust of wind lifted the disciple from Hua Yang Peak to the sky and threw him directly onto the ferry platform on the peak.

Then, he turned to look at Li Wen Jie, smiled and said, “Let’s go. Come with me to Yun Yi Palace.” Blowing into the Yun Yi Palace in a flash, he returned to the palace with this disciple.

At the same time, his booming voice echoed over the entire Yun Yi Peak, “Disciples of Yun Yi lineage, gather at Yun Yi Palace within one quarter of an hour.”

With his now powerful Divine Sense, he could encompass the whole Liu Yun Sect under his senses. He knew clearly how many disciples were left on Yun Yi Peak.

On hearing the echoing voice, the disciples of the Yun Yi lineage who were still cultivating, showed a look of excitement. Their Master was finally out of retreat. They all came out of the cultivation cave mansion on the nearby mountains and headed towards the Yun Yi Palace.

Xu Yu Rou, who was currently handling affairs in a hall at the peak, heard this familiar voice. She couldn’t help but stand up suddenly, her face breaking into a brilliant smile. However, her smile gradually turned into sadness.

Before half the time had passed, all the disciples had gathered in Yun Yi Palace. Xu Yu Rou led the disciples and bowed to Lin Yi, “Disciples pay respect to Master.”

Lin Yi looked at the disciples in the palace, a smile appearing on his face. Back then, he had recruited fifteen disciples from the Disciple Registration Hall, and now eight remained. At least more than half had stuck around.

He slowly said, “Good job. I have been in seclusion for more than twenty years, it seems all of your cultivation has not slackened.”

The remaining eight disciples all had Medium Grade Spirit Roots, and had all reached the Qi Refining middle stage, most of them at the sixth layer.

More than twenty years had passed, Medium Grade Spirit Roots had reached the sixth layer, indicating their diligent cultivation. Of course, apart from their perception factors, the more significant reason was the rich spiritual energy on Yun Yi Peak.

According to his perception, all these disciples were cultivating in the same cultivation cave mansion, and it was on a nearby mountain peak, presumably to save Spirit Stones.

Basically, the Spirit Gathering Array inside each cultivation cave mansion needs to use a Spirit Stone to activate. As the Golden Core Main Peak, Yun Yi Peak connects the Spirit Vein, so each cave mansion’s Spirit Gathering Array consumes a lot of Spirit Stones. This was the case even when the concentration of spiritual energy was smallest.

He only provided these disciples with basic cultivation resources corresponding to their cultivation levels. For the first layer of Qi Refining, it was ten stones per month, and so on.

However, resources would double once they reached the middle and late stages.

If they didn’t have enough Spirit Stones in the early stage, they could cultivate on Yun Yi Square. The concentration of spiritual energy on the peak could basically meet the cultivation needs of Qi Refining middle stage.

At this moment, Xu Yu Rou abruptly kneeled down, her voice full of self-reproach, “Master, I am incapable. I did not watch over the new disciples properly, leading to seven of them transferring to other peaks.”

Lin Yi lightly waved his hand, and Xu Yu Rou automatically stood up, “What does this have to do with you? As I told you before, it’s their freedom. You have done a good job teaching the eight disciples who chose to stay. You haven’t done anything wrong, but have actually earned merit.”

Over twenty years had passed, and Xu Yu Rou’s cultivation had only reached the second level of the Foundation Building Realm. She had clearly been busy with managing affairs on Yun Yi Peak and teaching the disciples. With this rate of cultivation, it was doubtful if her remaining life span of a hundred years was sufficient to reach Perfect Foundation Building and then develop a Golden Core.

“This Top-grade Spiritual Sword is your reward.” Lin Yi took out a Top-grade Spiritual Flying Sword from his Storage Bag, extended his hand and threw it gently towards Xu Yu Rou.

While Spiritual Artifacts can be used by the Foundation Building Realm, only a Golden Core Real Person can unleash their full potential. When he became a direct disciple, Master Golden Sword had personally crafted a top-grade Flying Sword with the properties of Wind Thunder as a gift for him. He had been using it until now.

Now that he has reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he naturally won’t be using this top-grade flying sword anymore.

Previously, when he was learning the Golden Sword Technique, he had condensed some Elemental Flying Swords within his body. With constant cultivation, their power had become stronger, even after attaining the Nascent Soul, these flying swords still remained and their power became even greater.

The Elemental Flying Swords he had crafted were of normal elements, such as Gold, Thunder, and Wind. He had not yet created any of the Dark Elements.

Although these Elemental Flying Swords were very powerful and convenient to use, he still needed to prepare a Flying Sword Magical Weapon on the surface to match his identity as a Golden Core Real Person.

Xu Yu Rou looked at the flying sword floating in front of her, shook her head, and quickly bowed with her fists, “Master, I am not worthy to receive this.”

“There’s no principle of taking back the rewards I give,” Lin Yi said calmly.

Xu Yu Rou hesitated for a moment, then finally bowed with her fists, accepted the flying sword under the envious eyes of the other disciples, and said, “Thank you, Master.”

Then, Lin Yi turned to the other Qi Refining Disciples, “Since you’ve chosen to stay in the Yun Yi lineage, you’ve passed the test. Today, I officially accept you into the Yun Yi lineage. I hope you are willing.”

“This disciple is willing,” the eight disciples said in unison, their eyes were filled with excitement. They had stayed in the Yun Yi lineage for so long just for today.

Lin Yi nodded gently, “Good, after my return from seclusion this time, I won’t go into closed-door cultivation for a while. I will guide the development of the Yun Yi lineage onto the right track, and as the first batch of disciples, you bear a heavy responsibility.”

“Subsequently, I will impart strict teachings to you, to help your cultivation levels break through to the Late Stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible.”

“Thank you, Master,” the eight Qi Refining disciples bowed their fists again. They had felt more intelligent during the past year of teachings, their previous confusion about cultivation was quickly clarified.

Afterwards, Lin Yi let the eight disciples leave first. Looking at Xu Yu Rou, he smiled and said, “Xiao Rou, you’ve worked hard these past twenty years.”

“Master, it’s not hard work, it’s my duty,” Xu Yu Rou hurriedly bowed with her fists.

“You are too formal with me,” Lin Yi shook his head, but he could understand. After all, it wasn’t easy to find a disciple who could have such a close relationship with their master.

He instructed Xu Yu Rou on some matters, and then let her leave.

Next, Lin Yi assembled the leaders of the Sect’s various branches in the Yun Yi lineage and issued his first command, “All disciples of the Hua Yang lineage are prohibited from entering the Yun Yi lineage.”

The matter of poaching disciples, even if it wasn’t instigated by Hua Yang Zhen Ren, could not be separated from him. Golden Core Real Persons were fully aware of what was happening in their lineage, and if they wanted to stop it, they could have stopped it long ago.

According to his perception, the seven disciples who had left were all poached by the Hua Yang lineage.

Hua Yang Zhen Ren had targeted him before, and wouldn’t hesitate to continue doing so now.

He had already become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, invincible in the Cultivation World. Although he wouldn’t be particularly ostentatious, he needed to show the temperament of a Golden Core Real Person, otherwise, others really might think he was easy to bully.

When the branch heads heard Lin Yi’s words, their expressions changed drastically. They were aware of what had happened at Yun Yi Peak.

They didn’t expect that Yun Yi Zen Ren would directly cut off the relationships between the two Golden Core Lineages. It seemed he was truly furious.

They didn’t dare to persuade him otherwise, bowed their fists, and left one after another, spreading the news.
