CHAPTER 526: CHAPTER 279 THE THICKEST SKIN_2

The time for internal conflict was postponed by Palace Master Qin for three years. Adding on the three years later, when Li Yunjing took action to consolidate power and establish his team leader position, it would still take some more time.

Without at least five years, it’s unrealistic for Li Yunjing to place his people in various good positions within the sect.

In an instant, Li Yunjing understood and naturally soft-pedaled, agreeing to Palace Master Qin’s decision.

"Palace Master, my ’Little Five Elements Array’ is destroyed, but the disciple does not know how to repair it. I wonder if the Palace Master could give some guidance?"

Li Yunjing obediently did not show any resentment, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want some benefits.

Such a rare opportunity to converse alone with the Sect Leader Venerable and Palace Master Qin, Li Yunjing was naturally unwilling to miss it.

Li Yunjing took out a tattered array plate, which only had a dozen fragments left, not resembling a ’Little Five Elements Array’ plate at all.

If Li Yunjing didn’t speak, even Nascent Soul cultivators, or even the legends in the Divinity Transformation Realm, might not be able to distinguish what it was from that pile of fragments.

Ming Lingchuan and Palace Master Qin exchanged glances; was this pile of scrap truly the array plate of the ’Little Five Elements Array’?

They truly couldn’t believe it.

"It’s really the ’Little Five Elements Array’ plate, broken by a Golden Core Realm master. The disciple has no ability to repair it. I beg the Palace Master to help fix it."

Feeling the disbelief from the big shots, Li Yunjing emphasized again, shamelessly making the request anew.

"Sigh..."

Palace Master Qin looked at Li Yunjing speechlessly; this kid certainly has guts!

In his many years of roaming the world, when had he ever been extorted?

Even during his Qi Refining Realm days, Palace Master Qin was an exceptionally strong figure. His life, filled with brilliance and invincibility, had not encountered anyone daring to speak to him in such a manner.

Even his disciples wouldn’t dare to talk to him like that!

Palace Master Qin felt genuinely at a loss with this person, Li Yunjing.

This kid had such courage in the Foundation Establishment Realm; who could suppress him once he became a Golden Core Elder?

Shaking his head helplessly at Li Yunjing, Palace Master Qin flipped his wrist and took out a translucent array plate from his sleeve.

This array plate appeared in five colors, resembling a small tower, with five-colored divine light flowing around its body, forming a light shield.

Glancing at the item in his hand, Palace Master Qin flicked his finger, and with a ’swish’, the array plate flew towards Li Yunjing.

"This array is a casually refined ’Grand Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array,’ ranked at Tier Three. I’ll give it to you for protection. In the future, if you encounter a Golden Core Realm cultivator, you can use this array to ensure your safety."

Palace Master Qin, helplessly, could only give away an array plate.

As for repairing the ’Little Five Elements Array,’ Palace Master Qin admitted that he didn’t have the ability. No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t create something out of thin air.

He couldn’t just hand Li Yunjing a ’Little Five Elements Array,’ right?

Palace Master Qin didn’t have such a low-level item on him; even this ’Grand Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array’ was the lowest grade he could offer.

"Thank you, Palace Master, for the gift! The disciple will use this array to spread the prestige of the ’Seven Star Palace’!"

Receiving the benefits, Li Yunjing grinned widely, unable to close his mouth from smiling, repeatedly bowing in thanks to his leader.

"Sigh..."

Seeing Li Yunjing wagging his tail happily, unable to show gratitude without benefits, and sulking without them, Palace Master Qin was left speechless and weak for words.

Palace Master Qin closed his eyes in a tired manner, while Li Yunjing, understanding not to disturb his leader further, chuckled quietly.

His gaze then shifted to the Sect Leader Venerable.

Ming Lingchuan’s heart skipped a beat, thinking inwardly, "This kid is coming for me?"

Indeed, the next moment, Li Yunjing spoke, "Sect Leader Venerable, I have been encountering difficulties in my cultivation recently, and my spiritual power has not been improving. I wonder if the Sect Leader Venerable could provide guidance on the spiritual cultivation method?"

"Haha..."

Ming Lingchuan laughed.

Glancing at Palace Master Qin, who remained silent with closed eyes, Ming Lingchuan could only say, "Haven’t you learned some spiritual cultivation methods?"

"The disciple finds this method ineffective!"

Li Yunjing shook his head, immediately explaining, "A Giant Bear King tried to possess me but failed, resulting in its death in my mind-sea. Its Moonlight Technique is not suitable for humans; practicing it brings twice the effort for half the result, making it counterproductive."

"Haha!"

Ming Lingchuan was infuriated yet amused; was this even human talk?

A Golden Core Realm Demon King, possessing racial heritage, and thoroughly refined spiritual cultivation method, had become counterproductive in Li Yunjing’s words?

Who was this madman?

Dealing with a disciple like Li Yunjing, Ming Lingchuan didn’t want to argue, as it would be beneath his dignity.

After considering, Ming Lingchuan said, "I will issue a command; you can freely choose a spiritual cultivation method from the fifth layer of the ’Scripture Pavilion.’ Go ahead."

"Thank you, Sect Leader Venerable, for the gift!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed, bowing deeply in gratitude to the Sect Leader Venerable.

The fifth layer of the ’Scripture Pavilion’ contains cultivation techniques for late Golden Core Realm, and is truly a crucial place!

The classics there are treasures that even Golden Core Realm cultivators spend countless years accumulating wealth to exchange for.

Transactions there involve contribution points and high grade spirit stones!

If Li Yunjing were to follow normal cultivation, the hope of accessing the fifth layer of the ’Scripture Pavilion’ in three hundred years would be slim.

Of course, not all top-level legacies are placed in the ’Scripture Pavilion.’

Each mountain peak holds unique legacies that suppress their fortune.

Those are priceless classics and wouldn’t be exchanged for resources.

What Li Yunjing received was the best legacy he could get; beyond that, obtaining higher-level legacies would require ’Seven Star Palace’ rewards or gathering treasures from outside on his own.

If he thought of founding his sect and compiling classics?

Li Yunjing was far from capable; this idea was out of reach, as those Nascent Soul realm experts practiced techniques passed down through tens of thousands of years.

Clearly, the two big figures were not very favorable towards him now that he had gained enough benefits.

He wisely chose not to overextend, bowed to the two leaders, and left ’Shenxiao Palace’ with joy.

Regarding the three-year confinement?

Li Yunjing expressed complete indifference; for these two items, even if other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were confined for three hundred years, it would be worth it!

Both were valuable items used by Golden Core Realm cultivators; Li Yunjing had truly profited abundantly.

After Li Yunjing’s figure disappeared, Palace Master Qin opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "That kid is really difficult to deal with!"

"Hahaha!"

Ming Lingchuan laughed heartily, "Your ’Seven Star Palace’ disciple is not one to suffer losses; you need not worry about him."

"Indeed! This kid has the audacity to demand benefits from people like us; it’s the first time I’ve encountered such a situation in my entire life."

Palace Master Qin laughed bitterly, speaking softly.

He had high hopes for Li Yunjing, liking him more and more. If Li Yunjing showed achievements in cultivation and array dao, Palace Master Qin even considered taking him as a student.

...

While the two big figures discussed Li Yunjing, his steps were light, his face joyous, humming a tune, as he left ’Shenxiao Palace’ and arrived at the entrance.

"How did it go?"

Seeing Li Yunjing looking pleased, Xu Wuyi knew the kid had undoubtedly gained some benefits.

"Sigh! It’s over!"

Li Yunjing sighed dramatically, forcing a hint of sadness on his face.

"What’s wrong?"

Xu Wuyi was stunned, unable to resist asking.
