Chapter 522: Chapter 277 True Disciple (Seeking Monthly and Recommendation Votes)_2

Li Yunjing responded with a sound, quickly handed over his identity token, and also presented the certificate signed by Yu Yuanhua.

"Hmm? An assessment task issued personally by Palace Master Qin? You went to the front lines?"

After examining Li Yunjing’s identity token and seeing the task issued by Palace Master Qin along with the completion certificate from Yu Yuanhua, the Elder was taken aback, hardly believing his eyes.

"Old He, what’s the matter?"

The shock on Elder He’s face caught the curiosity of another Elder nearby, who couldn’t help but ask.

"Take a look for yourself!"

Without saying much, Elder He directly handed Li Yunjing’s identity token and the task completion certificate to the other Elder for inspection.

"Good heavens! Quite impressive!"

After reviewing the documents, the Elder exclaimed in surprise, unsure whether he was referring to Li Yunjing’s cultivation prowess or his impressive background.

For someone to be personally assigned a task by a high-ranking Golden Core Realm figure, it was evident that Li Yunjing had made a significant impression on someone important.

Otherwise, in a large sect like the Shenxiao Dao Sect, with countless Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, surely not fewer than eighty thousand, why would a Golden Core Realm figure take the time to remember each one individually?

The conversation between the two Elders piqued the curiosity of others in the True Inheritance Palace, all eyes scanning Li Yunjing up and down.

It was as if they were trying to discern what made Li Yunjing different from the rest.

Feeling the gazes from so many people, including several Golden Core Realm cultivators, Li Yunjing couldn’t help but feel that every inch of his skin, even his tendons, bones, organs, and blood, were being scrutinized.

However, when they attempted to probe his sea of consciousness, Li Yunjing instinctively rebuffed their attempts, shattering their scrutinizing gazes.

"Impressive!"

Seeing Li Yunjing able to repel the gazes of Golden Core Realm experts, the group of cultivators displayed a hint of surprise.

Elder He stared at Li Yunjing for a long time before retracting his gaze and calmly stating, "Assessment passed."

"Thank you, Elder!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed. Although he knew he could advance to a True Disciple, officially becoming one still filled him with immense happiness.

Among the sect’s four disciple ranks, the True Disciple held the highest status and received the best treatment.

Wishing to have a promising future and develop well within the Shenxiao Dao Sect, Li Yunjing valued this status highly.

His two women and friends, Fu Chao and Yang Wenzheng, were already True Disciples. As an Inner Sect Disciple, Li Yunjing had always felt a bit uneasy.

Although no one dared to underestimate him, the difference in rank was undeniable and irremediable.

Now that their statuses were equal, Li Yunjing felt much more comfortable.

"In that case, I’ll issue him the True Disciple identity token."

The Elder beside him nodded, grabbed Li Yunjing’s Inner Sect Disciple identity token, and a new change occurred.

He produced a special purple token, aligning it with Li Yunjing’s identity token. Instantly, the two tokens connected, emitting a purple light that shone within the True Inheritance Palace.

As Li Yunjing watched, his identity token started to melt. The Elder repeatedly reached into his Storage Ring, taking out pieces of Tier Three materials, melting them, and integrating them into Li Yunjing’s identity token.

Under the purple glow, the token constantly changed shape, becoming increasingly familiar to Li Yunjing.

Having seen and even played with True Disciple identity tokens belonging to Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, Li Yunjing recognized them well.

After a quarter of an hour, Li Yunjing’s identity token had transformed into a purple-gold color, identical to the ones he had seen before.

Following the transformation, the Elder extracted a Jade Scroll and imbued its information into the token.

"Alright! Your True Disciple identity token is now complete! Additionally, I’ve copied the content of the second volume of the Shenxiao Jade Scroll into it. You can study it at your own pace."

The Elder tossed the identity token casually, letting it land in Li Yunjing’s hands.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Overcome with emotion, Li Yunjing eagerly received the token with both hands and began to examine it closely.

Inserting his Divine Sense into the token, Li Yunjing reviewed the contents of the second volume of the Shenxiao Jade Scroll.

The second volume of the Shenxiao Jade Scroll was profound and comprehensive, containing not only the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation techniques but also a broader worldview.

It detailed the extensive information on numerous factions of the Great Ming Dynasty, even touching on various countries throughout the Southern Heaven Continent.

At the very least, Li Yunjing was no longer completely ignorant about the Southern Heaven Continent.

He didn’t continue reading, realizing this wasn’t the time to delve into such knowledge.

"Additionally, here is a True Disciple’s robe, the Great Sun Daoist Robe, classified as a Middle Grade defensive spiritual artifact, which is now yours!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing’s attention had shifted from the identity token, Elder He produced a neatly folded Daoist Robe and handed it to him.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Besides expressing his gratitude, Li Yunjing had nothing else to say.

His heart was filled with excitement; being a True Disciple was indeed advantageous!

The various benefits were overwhelming.

"Furthermore, your stipend has been increased tenfold!"

Elder He cautioned, "However, even with such a high status, tenfold of your previous stipend is still just a drop in the ocean. As a True Disciple, you must compete and seize resources externally!"

"Understood, Elder!"

Li Yunjing nodded, understanding this principle well.

After several outings, raiding other sects’ cultivators, Li Yunjing realized that Shenxiao Dao Sect cultivators had a significant advantage over their peers.

Given this advantage, coupled with his combative nature, Li Yunjing had long harbored such thoughts.

Moreover, he had an ace up his sleeve: the Star Moon Trading Company, a lucrative enterprise far surpassing sect stipends.

The nearby Elder chuckled, "Elder He’s words should be taken lightly! We are the Profound Sect Orthodox Sect, with a mission to vanquish demons and maintain the order of the Immortal Dao."

"As an orthodox cultivator, your greater abilities come with greater responsibilities. Never abuse your divine techniques against the Profound Sect orthodoxy!"

"Heh heh!"

Hearing this, Elder He shook his head slightly and added, "Also, do not oppress your fellow disciples using your high status!"

"As a True Disciple, valued by the entire sect, your actions will be monitored by Elders and even the Ancestor. You must hold yourself to strict standards. I do not wish to see you marginalized among True Disciples after decades."

"Thank you, Elders, for your guidance! I understand!"

Seeing the two Elders close their eyes and remain silent, Li Yunjing respectfully saluted and retreated.

As soon as Li Yunjing left, Elder He asked, "What do you think of this lad?"

"Foundation Establishment Realm Second Heaven cultivation, his identity token records over forty Foundation Establishment cultivators slain, including one at the Fourth Heaven. Quite a character."

The Elder beside him pondered briefly before responding.

"He cultivates the Five Thunders True Method. Interestingly, he possesses a Top Grade Five Elements Spirit Root. With such aptitude, he should have been directly promoted to True Disciple upon entry. Why did he only advance now?"

Elder He wondered curiously.

"This is not uncommon. Some geniuses in the sect disdain immediate promotion, choosing instead to temper themselves through struggle. This lad is likely the same."

The Elder replied with a chuckle.
