"Ding! Task issued: Ask Yuanshi and Laozi for meeting gifts. Reward: Clear Heart of the Sword state of mind." At that moment, the system issued a task at just the right time.
Yun Ting nodded and obediently walked up to Laozi. Bowing, he said, "Greetings, Eldest Uncle."
Laozi laughed heartily and took out a bottle of Nine-Revolutions Golden Elixir. "Haha, this is the Nine-Revolutions Golden Elixir. Take it as your meeting gift."
Yun Ting beamed. "Thank you for the treasure, Eldest Uncle."
Then Yun Ting slowly walked over to Lord of the Beginning, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Second Uncle."
Yuanshi nodded and carefully examined Yun Ting's innate talent. "Third Brother, Yun Ting's aptitude is exceptional, even surpassing Duo Bao's. He is fine material indeed." He then took out a set of Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe. "A Postnatal supreme treasure, the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe. Take it."
Then Yun Ting pointed at Daoist Duobao and asked, "Father, who is this?"
"Haha, this is my eldest disciple, Daoist Duobao. He was transformed from an Innate Treasure Mouse. You may call him Senior Brother," Tong Tian said with a laugh.
Yun Ting walked over to Daoist Duobao, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother. Since your Daoist title is Duobao, you must have quite a few treasures on you. Your junior brother has only just transformed and has no divine weapon. Could Senior Brother give me one?"
Upon hearing that, Daoist Duobao thought, What kind of situation is this? He calls me Senior Brother and immediately asks for a treasure? Even if I was transformed from an Innate Treasure-Seeking Mouse and possess many treasures, you cannot treat me like this. However, this was his master's son. If he refused, his master might form a poor impression of him in the future. Left with no choice, he took out an immortal sword and said, "A Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Divine Firmament Sword. I obtained it by chance. I shall gift it to Junior Brother."
Yun Ting accepted the sword and clasped his hands in greeting. "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Seeing this, Tong Tian laughed heartily and said to Yun Ting, "Your father needs to enter seclusion for a while to refine a protective treasure for you. You may establish a cave abode on Mount Kunlun and cultivate properly. Your father will be leaving first." With that, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished.
Yun Ting looked utterly bewildered. Looking at Yuanshi, he asked, "Second Uncle, did my father forget something? He said on the way that he would teach me the Shangqing Immortal Art, but he seems to have forgotten to give it to me."
Hearing this, Yuanshi looked at Laozi and could not help laughing. "Eldest Brother, Third Brother is simply... Hm, he could even forget this." As he spoke, he took out a Jade Slip. "The paths cultivated by the Three Pure Ones are all recorded in this Jade Slip. You are the Three Pure Ones' only Direct Bloodline, so it is all yours."
Seeing this, Daoist Duobao curled his lips at the side and thought, I am the Three Pure Ones' eldest disciple, yet I only received my master's teachings. This little junior brother is something else. The moment he arrived, he gained the favor of Master and both Martial Uncles. They give him every good thing.
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the task. You have obtained the Clear Heart of the Sword state of mind. Task issued: Enter seclusion for one thousand years and advance to Late Taiyi Golden Immortal. Reward: one location of the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin." At that moment, the system issued another task.
"System, why didn't you display data panels for Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle just now..." Yun Ting suddenly asked the system.
"Because you did not ask... Ahem, you need to actively request an entry search before it can be examined. If it were passive, then when the Interception Sect's myriad immortals came to pay homage in the future, or when the Demon Heavenly Court was established and you went there as a guest, would your mind not be filled with panels?" the system replied casually.
"Damn it... Fine, you are right. I will enter seclusion and complete the task first. Anyway, the Three Pure Ones' entries are probably all similar... But you need to change the reward. Everyone on Blue Star knows the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin is on Mount Wuyi..."
Within the system space, a mature beauty lounged half-reclined on a large sofa, sipping coffee as she muttered, "Change your reward? Just because you say so? As if I would. Hmph, this system is the big sister. You are just a little brother." Then she directly ignored Yun Ting's complaints.
Seeing that the system was ignoring him, Yun Ting did not dwell on it. He established a cave abode on Mount Kunlun and entered seclusion. After probing with his divine sense, Yuanshi looked at Laozi and said, "Eldest Brother, what if Yun Ting uses the Nine-Revolutions Golden Elixir to directly enter the Great Luo realm?"
Laozi shook his head. "It is of no concern. I sensed an unusual aura from him. He will not be so foolish."
Time flowed on, and a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Within the cave abode, Yun Ting's divine radiance was restrained, while sword qi emanated fiercely from him. He instantly gathered the surrounding spiritual qi, and wisps of misty radiance flickered around his body. Sensing Yun Ting's aura, Yuanshi said to Laozi, "Eldest Brother, Xiao'er is about to break through to Taiyi."
Laozi nodded. "Not bad. Late Taiyi Golden Immortal in only a thousand years. His aptitude surpasses even Duo Bao's."
Hearing this, Daoist Duobao curled his lips and thought, Their own child truly is different. Every time they praise a disciple, they take the opportunity to put me down too. Hm, ever since Junior Brother came up the mountain, I am no longer the one who pleases Master and the two Martial Uncles on Mount Kunlun. (Yun Ting: Fat mouse, you cannot blame me for that. Even before I came up the mountain, Second Uncle did not like furry things.)
