Hearing that someone had finally arrived, Xian Junyu stopped cultivating and slowly opened his eyes to look at the female cultivator.
Looking at the female cultivator approaching, he secretly wondered who she was.
A female cultivator, huh...
Was she Puxian? Or Cihang? No, that didn't seem right. According to legend, Old Man Nanji was the first of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun to enter the sect. How could it be either of them?
But if it wasn't them, then she could only be a disciple of the Interception Sect.
If she was from the Interception Sect, Xian Junyu could more or less guess who this female cultivator was.
The female cultivator's words confirmed his guess.
"Jin Ling pays her respects to the two fellow Daoists!"
The female cultivator slightly cupped her hands and saluted Xuandu and the other man.
The moment he heard the name Jin Ling, Xian Junyu's face lit up with a smile. Sure enough, she was the Senior Disciple Sister, Saint Mother Jin Ling, the Chief of Female Immortals in the Interception Sect.
She was also the teacher of Wen Zhong, the Grand Preceptor of the Shang Dynasty.
"Fellow Daoist Jin Ling, there's no need to be so formal. Since you've come to Kunlun, you must be here to seek a master. May I ask which Saint's Discipleship you wish to join?" Xian Junyu asked warmly with a smile.
Unlike his attitude toward Duobao, a male cultivator, he was exceptionally kind to Jin Ling.
Xuandu was puzzled by Xian Junyu's unusually good attitude.
His attitude is so good. Could Senior Disciple Brother have taken a fancy to Jin Ling?
Seeing that the man before her seemed easy to talk to, Jin Ling said calmly:
"I heard that Saint Shangqing established the Interception Sect to seize a sliver of life for all living beings. I've long admired him and wish to join Saint Shangqing's Interception Sect..."
Upon hearing this, Xian Junyu nodded in satisfaction.
See? Senior Disciple Sister was Senior Disciple Sister. She had come specifically for the Interception Sect. Unlike that failure Duobao, who had been rejected by Taiqing and then tried Yuqing, only to join Saint Shangqing's Interception Sect after being rejected again.
People really couldn't be compared. Comparing people made one furious, and comparing goods meant throwing them away.
"Saint Shangqing's Interception Sect is indeed a good choice... Junior Brother Xuandu, take Fellow Daoist Jin Ling to meet Saint Shangqing!"
Xian Junyu hesitated for a moment before speaking to Xuandu.
Originally, he, the Senior Disciple Brother of the Interception Sect, should have taken Jin Ling to seek instruction. But then he remembered how his Master had been acting for the past three months.
He decisively handed the matter over to Xuandu.
"Huh? Me? Senior Disciple Brother, Fellow Daoist Jin Ling wishes to join Uncle Tongtian's discipleship. Wouldn't you be more suitable to take her?" Xuandu asked in confusion.
Senior Disciple Brother Xian Junyu was the First Disciple of the Interception Sect. Who could be more suitable than him to handle Jin Ling's initiation?
Xuandu couldn't understand why he was being sent.
"I went last time, so it's your turn this time. You and I are jointly responsible for this matter. You didn't come here just to stand around, did you?"
As he spoke, Xian Junyu pulled Xuandu aside and whispered:
"Master and I have had a little misunderstanding recently. I'll avoid suspicion for now. You're the perfect person to go, Junior Brother!"
A little misunderstanding?
How small could this misunderstanding be? Senior Disciple Brother didn't even dare to meet Uncle Tongtian anymore...
Hearing this, the corner of Xuandu's mouth twitched. His senior brother had clearly angered Uncle Tongtian and didn't dare go there.
Still, whether it was called a minor conflict or not, sending him over really was quite suitable.
"Er... Since that's the case, I'll do it in your place!"
"Fellow Daoist Jin Ling, come with me!"
Xuandu immediately stopped wasting words. Leading the somewhat curious Jin Ling, he flew toward Uncle Tongtian's Daoist Sanctuary.

Watching Xuandu leave with Jin Ling, Xian Junyu began muttering to himself.
"Last time, Master was already displeased because I didn't want to work. It hasn't been long since then. If I go see Master again, I'll inevitably get scolded, and I might even get beaten..."
"I think I won't go looking for Master for the next few years... No, the next few decades. I'll wait until his mood improves before I go. Yes, that's the decision!"
After thinking it over, Xian Junyu decided to wait several decades before meeting his Master again, clearly intending to avoid trouble.
After stopping his cultivation, he looked at the results of his three months of effort and was utterly disdainful.
"Damn it, after working hard for three months, my cultivation only improved by that tiny bit. Without a hundred years, I probably won't have any hope of breaking through..."
"As expected, hard work is meaningless. I might as well wait and reap the benefits!"
No longer cultivating on his own, Xian Junyu returned to his former life of eating, drinking, and idling around.
With System Bro around, why bother working hard?
Which transmigrator with System Bro would cultivate on his own?
What a waste of time!
Meanwhile, just as Xian Junyu had guessed, Tongtian became furious when his eldest disciple failed to come and Xuandu brought someone instead.
"What a foolish brat! I only said one thing to him, and now he even dares not come see me. Truly infuriating!"
In his anger, Tongtian unconsciously released a trace of Saintly pressure.
Yet that mere trace of pressure immediately crushed Xuandu and Jin Ling until they couldn't straighten their backs. Of course, it was also possible that Tongtian had done it deliberately.
"Uncle Master, please calm down. Senior Disciple Brother has been cultivating during this period. He didn't deliberately refuse to come see you!" Xuandu hurriedly pleaded for Xian Junyu.
He had no choice but to plead. The Saint's pressure had left him unable to breathe. If he didn't speak up, he would lose face in front of his new junior sister.
Sure enough, when Tongtian heard that Xian Junyu had begun cultivating, his mood improved slightly, and the Saint's pressure was withdrawn.
Xuandu and Jin Ling simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.
Phew! Saints are terrifying. Just a trace of their aura made them feel as if they were facing death. How frightening!
However, the change in Saint Tongtian's expression the next moment made the two of them anxious again.
Tongtian had heard that his eldest disciple had also begun cultivating, so his mood had improved somewhat. After all, Xuandu wouldn't make things up, and nobody would dare spout nonsense in front of a Saint.
Except... that disciple of his...
He had wanted to see whether his eldest disciple had made any progress. But when his divine sense swept over the foot of the mountain and found Xian Junyu looking exactly as useless as before, showing no sign of cultivating at all, his entire face darkened.
That good-for-nothing actually cultivating? What a joke!
"Xuandu! From now on, you'll be responsible for disciples of the other two sects. If anyone wishes to join the Interception Sect, make that foolish brat Xian Junyu come here himself!"
"Yes, Uncle Master. Xuandu understands!"
In the end, Tongtian smoothly accepted Jin Ling as his third Personal Disciple and bestowed upon her the [Great Dao True Scripture of Shangqing], the Dragon Tiger Ruyi, the Four Symbols Pagoda, and other magical treasures.
From then on, Jin Ling became the Senior Disciple Sister of the Interception Sect and, in the future, the Chief of Female Immortals.
When Jin Ling was accepted, the system immediately sent Xian Junyu a notification.
[Beep! A bindable target has been detected. Host, please bind the target as soon as possible to avoid missing the rebate!]
"System Bro, bind Jin Ling for me!"
Knowing that his junior sister Jin Ling had been accepted by his Master, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately had the system bind her.
[Beep! Jin Ling has been bound successfully!] [The current total number of bound personnel is: 2!]
Having bound two future Quasi-Saints, Xian Junyu now felt as steady as an old dog. He no longer had to worry about the future Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
