Chapter 114 - Arc 8: Wuling Immortal Sect | Chapter 114: Tianlong List

When Yun Lie emerged, all the disciples ceased their discussions, pretending to chat with each other and avoiding direct eye contact with him. However, their spiritual senses were secretly observing, though they intentionally avoided the figure in white. From this observation, they noticed that Yun Lie was still present, standing under the tree, seemingly waiting for someone.

This only strengthened the disciples’ beliefs.

The young man in the green shirt must be the one who helped Yun Lie achieve the Golden Core stage, but the nature of their relationship remained a mystery.

The familiar disciples couldn’t resist using telepathy to communicate, attempting to speculate whether they were friends or perhaps even related by blood. Yet, no definitive conclusion was reached.

Some secretly speculated: Yun Lie is now a Jindan cultivator, and the required monthly regulations should have been delivered by the young man in the green shirt. However, he has come in person, seemingly accompanying the young man. They wondered about the young man’s talents and whether he is worthy of great attention.

Despite the guesses, nobody dared to approach them or initiate a conversation.

After leaving Yun Lie, Xu Ziqing hurriedly entered the pavilion, still feeling a bit embarrassed from the earlier scrutiny by his fellow disciples. Even though they didn’t have any ill intentions, their higher cultivation levels made him feel uneasy.

Taking a deep breath, he felt relieved that Yun Lie had arrived in time, alleviating the tension.

Inside the pavilion, there was an inner hall with an ancient long table, and next to it, an inkstone with mercury-like ink was placed, emitting a faint sparkle. Beside the inkstone, there was a mysterious-looking pen holder with a soft nib. Although it seemed ordinary, it had an enigmatic charm.

Behind the table sat a thin old man in his sixties, with a vast wall behind him, covered in countless jade slips that glittered like stars, making it a dizzying sight.

Xu Ziqing composed himself, approached the elder, and greeted him politely, “Xiaozhu Peak’s Xu Ziqing pays respects to the elder.”

As the person in charge of Shifang Pavilion, the elder held a position of importance and was in charge of Yun Lie, a senior disciple of Small Peaks, so Xu Ziqing couldn’t afford to offend him. Any direct disciple visiting here, regardless of their future cultivation achievements, would have to show respect.

Seeing Xu Ziqing’s courteous demeanor, the elder felt at ease and said, “This old man received instructions from Master Qiu He the other day that you were personally accepted as his disciple, so you can collect your monthly regulations here.”

Xu Ziqing responded with a smile, “Thank you for your help, Elder.”

The elder took out a booklet and unfolded it. With a shake of his right arm, he brushed off the long sleeve, holding a pen holder in his palm. Dipping it in ink, he swiftly wrote a few lines of small characters on the booklet, announcing Xu Ziqing’s entitlements. He then threw the pen onto the pen stand, and with a wave of his right hand, a jade slip flew towards the wall. He caught the booklet with his left hand, forcefully wiped off the black ink, and directed it toward the jade slip. The jade slip seemed to absorb the writing and returned to its original position on the wall.

Xu Ziqing was amazed by the seamless flow of movements and the intricate recording process. He wondered about the brush and ink used, as the writing seemed alive, yet stored in the jade slips.

It was truly incredible! Ne/w novel chapters are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m

Although the elder noticed Xu Ziqing’s surprise, he didn’t indulge in explanations. Instead, he handed over a palm-sized wooden box and said, “This contains your monthly allocation, just take what you need.”

Curious, Xu Ziqing opened the wooden box to find a fist-sized pocket inside, containing three bottles, small wax-like pills, and presumably Spirit stones, Buyuan Pill, and Yiyuan Pill. Spirit stones could be used for exchanges, Buyuan Pill could replenish consumed true essence quickly, and Yiyuan Pill was a high-level human-level pill that had stronger effects than the Buyuan Pill. Receiving one Yiyuan Pill each month was a privilege reserved for direct disciples, as it was challenging to refine and couldn’t be provided in large quantities.

The Tianlong List, meaning “Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens,” features names that share common characteristics. They all broke through the Golden Core stage before reaching a hundred years of age, possess extraordinary potential, and are highly regarded and nurtured as monster geniuses by their respective sects!

Moreover, it does not discriminate between fairies, demons, and ghosts. As long as one possesses enough cultivation, potential, luck, and prestige, they can be listed!

Every prestigious sect has its independent Tianlong List, and outside the sect, Tianlong Lists can be found where countless monks gather.

Whenever a Golden Core monk passes by the stone tablet, their name is recorded and their ranking will be determined.

Thus, once listed, their fame will spread across the world in an instant!

At that moment, Yun Lie stood before the Tianlong List.

As soon as he appeared, a powerful golden light burst forth from the list!

The resounding dragon roars reverberated through the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the rankings on the Tianlong List underwent a drastic change!

Wuling Immortal Sect’s Killing Sword Yun Lie ascended to the fifth position on the Tianlong List!

The Qingyun Great World is vast, with countless practitioners like the sands of the Ganges River1The sand in this river is so fine, and there’s a LOT of it. It’s expressing how many Golden Core stage cultivator there is in this Qingyun Great World. Even among the rare sword cultivators, the number is exceedingly high. Nevertheless, Yun Lie firmly held the top position among the hundred peerless geniuses. Among the disciples of the same school, he was the only one who made it to the top five!

Watching the remarkable shift on the Tianlong List, Xu Ziqing was stunned, taking a long time to regain his composure.

Seeing Yun Lie’s name suddenly appear in the top five of the list, his admiration and respect for his shixiong grew stronger.

Yun Shixiong truly deserves all the admiration and reverence!

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ziqing glanced at the rankings and names, feeling a surge of envy and emotion well up within him.

‘If only I could be on that list too...’

Closing his eyes, he felt his blood boiling with excitement.

Yun Shixiong has already ventured farther and farther. He is not a mere companion of his soul but an outstanding genius continuously ascending on the path to immortality. If he isn’t careful, he might lose sight of his shixiong.

He has lagged behind for too long; he doesn’t want to forever be in his brother’s shadow, cared for and favored by him. He wants to walk side by side with his shixiong, traverse the immortal path together, and attain immortality as equals!

From now on, he must practice with even greater diligence!
