Not long after, two flying swords’ escaping light flew from the nearby Golden Cloud Peak and landed on the Ferry Platform. It was Zhou Yun Feng and Qi Jing Yu.

Seeing the two come down from the Ferry Platform, Lin Yi greeted them with a smile and a fist-palm salute, “Greetings, Senior Brother, and Greetings, Second Master.”

Xu Yu Rou, standing beside him, hurriedly did the same, “Greetings, Uncle Master Zhou, and Greetings, Uncle Master Qi.”

This was what Lin Yi had instructed her. In the sect, regardless of gender, the older generation is referred to as Uncle Master, without the need for distinction like Aunt Master.

Zhou Yun Feng nodded with a smile, while Qi Jing Yu teased, “Little Junior Brother, you’ve finally come out of seclusion. Ever since your Senior Brother and I got married, you’ve been in seclusion, accumulating over a decade in total. The disciples of the Golden Sword Peak all call you a Cultivation Madman.”

Lin Yi shook his head and responded helplessly, “Senior Sister, I have lower-grade spiritual roots. If I don’t cultivate diligently, how can I keep up with you? Whether I am mad or not doesn’t matter, as long as my cultivation levels increase, I’ll continue to stay in seclusion.”

Zhou Yun Feng smiled, “Little Junior Brother, it hasn’t been forty years since you became an Inner Sect Disciple. You’ve broken through from Qi Refining Three Layers to the present Foundation Building Fourth Layer, which is already tremendous. Many disciples with medium-grade spiritual roots are not as fast as you.”

The smile left Lin Yi’s face as he said, “Senior Brother, your words have made me even more nervous. Look, I’m almost seventy years old, and the life limit for foundation establishment is only two hundred and fifty years, and only at Nine Complete Levels can one have the maximum lifespan.”

“Now, my cultivation level is only at Foundation Building Fourth Layer. With the talent of my lower-grade spiritual roots, breaking through the remaining five floors would take at least a hundred years, making me one hundred and seventy years old.”

“There would only be eighty years left. Whether I can break through to the Golden Core Realm is still uncertain, so I must further intensify my efforts in cultivation.”

Qi Jing Yu couldn’t help but laugh, and pointed at Lin Yi, “You are truly deserving of the title of ‘Cultivation Madman’. Immortality’s road is fraught with hardship and danger, and your hard work does not let your Senior Brother’s acceptance of you go to waste.”

Nonetheless, Lin Yi’s words had merit. Lower-grade spiritual roots naturally hinder one’s path of cultivation. The speed of cultivation can be compensated for with pills and Spirit Gathering Arrays, but the bottlenecks can only be broken through via personal enlightenment.

Many with lower-grade spiritual roots reach Perfect Foundation Building when they’re nearly two hundred years old. Breaking through to the Golden Core Realm in mere decades then becomes an uphill struggle.

This is why most sects’ Inner Sects seldom accept disciples with lower-grade spiritual roots.

After the jesting, Qi Jing Yu turned her attention to Xu Yu Rou, whom she’d purposefully ignored whilst speaking to Lin Yi. The young girl had stood patiently beside them throughout the conversation, not showing any signs of discontent.

She smiled and said, “Young girl, you must be Xu Yu Rou, whom Junior Brother Lin has mentioned.”

Xu Yu Rou quickly gave a fist-palm salute and said nervously, “Replying to Uncle Master Qi, I…I am Xu Yu Rou, with lower-grade spiritual roots. I’m sixteen years old, at the Qi Refining first level, and cultivating the Creation Method. I can cook, do laundry, and have some seamstress skills…”

Upon hearing Xu Yu Rou spouting all her details at once, Qi Jing Yu couldn’t help but laugh and pat her head, “Silly girl, your Uncle Master Lin rarely asks for a favor from us. We wont make you a maidservant. From now on, you will be a disciple of Golden Sword Peak. Come, follow me to handle the admission procedures.”

“Thank you, Uncle Master Qi.” Xu Yu Rou kneeled without hesitation.

Qi Jing Yu slightly lifted her palm, stopping her, “Remember, within the sect, you use only the grand ceremony when you acknowledge a master. Other times, a simple fist-palm salute will suffice.”

Thereafter, she led Xu Yu Rou into the Sect Affairs Hall on Golden Sword Peak to handle the admission procedures.

After the two left, Lin Yi gave a fist-palm salute to Zhou Yun Feng, “Thank you very much, Senior Brother.”

Zhou Yun Feng waved his hand, smiling, “It’s just a small matter. Besides, you’ve never asked for a favor from us. As recommended by you, we have absolute faith in her character.”

Then, after casting a soundproof barrier, he asked, “I heard there was some conflict between you and Hua Yang Zhen Ren’s grandson, Hua Tian Ji, and it seems to be related to Xu Yu Rou. What happened?”

Lin Yi briefly explained the situation and laughed, “Senior Brother, don’t worry about this. It will be resolved soon.”

Hua Tian Ji, a guy with an imposing name but questionable character.

Zhou Yun Feng patted Lin Yi’s shoulder, saying calmly, “Junior Brother, you’re cautious indeed. But what could be the repercussions of lashing out at such a scum? Even if the sect master is in seclusion, Hua Yang Zhen Ren wouldn’t dare to question us on Golden Sword Peak.”

With that, an insinuating, sharp aura emanated from Zhou Yun Feng.

Lin Yi responded thoughtfully with a smile. Many perceived their Senior Brother as easy-going, but he was in fact the eldest disciple of Golden Sword Peak, unmatched in his swordsmanship. It’s just that with his foundation broken, his insinuating aura was gradually hidden.

He immediately replied, “Senior Brother, it’s better to avoid additional conflicts. Apart from the momentary relief beating him up may provide, it would only lead to a vendetta with Hua Yang Zhen Ren. It’s better to demand some money from him.”

Zhou Yun Feng nodded and smiled, “What you said makes sense too. Keep focusing on your cultivation. Only by reaching the Golden Core Realm will you find the world full of goodwill.”

After a while, Qi Jing Yu and Xu Yu Rou reemerged. In her hand was a token signifying the status of an Inner Sect Disciple. “The procedures are done. Little Junior Brother, initially, I wanted Xiao Rou to choose a cave mansion on Gold Jade Peak, but she insisted on choosing Golden Yi Peak. However, the spiritual energy there is indeed sufficient for the initial stage of Qi refining.”
