Saint Mother Jin Ling Joins the Jie Sect

Hearing that someone had finally arrived, Xian Junyu stopped his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes to look at the female cultivator.

Watching this female cultivator approach, he silently guessed who she might be.

A female cultivator...

Was it Puxian? Or Cihang? No, that couldn't be right—legend said the earliest disciple among the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun was Old Man Nanji, so how could it be either of them?

But if it wasn't them, then she could only be a disciple of my Jie Sect.

If she was a Jie Sect disciple, Xian Junyu had a rough idea of who this female cultivator was.

And the female cultivator's words confirmed his guess.

"Jin Ling greets you both, fellow Daoists!"

The female cultivator gave a slight bow to Xuandu and the other.

The name Jin Ling made Xian Junyu break into a smile—just as he'd thought, it was Saint Mother Jin Ling, the Chief of Female Immortals of the Jie Sect.

Also the master of Wen Zhong, the Grand Preceptor of the Shang Dynasty.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Ling, no need for such formalities. Since you've come to Kunlun seeking a master, may I ask which Saint's Discipleship you wish to enter?" Xian Junyu asked with a gentle smile.

Unlike with the male cultivator Duobao, his attitude toward the female cultivator Jin Ling was exceptionally good.

Xuandu looked at Xian Junyu, who was being so friendly, and felt a flicker of confusion.

Was his Senior Disciple Brother this nice because he'd taken a liking to Jin Ling?

Seeing that the person before her seemed easy to talk to, Jin Ling spoke calmly:

"I've heard that Saint Shangqing established his sect to seize a thread of life for all beings. Jin Ling greatly admires this and wishes to enter Saint Shangqing's Jie Sect..."

Hearing this, Xian Junyu nodded in satisfaction.

See, the Senior Disciple Sister was the Senior Disciple Sister—she came straight for the Jie Sect. Not like that loser Duobao, who tried Taiqing first, then Yuqing, and only when both refused did he finally join Shangqing's Jie Sect.

People really couldn't be compared—comparing one to another drove you mad, and comparing goods made you want to throw them away.

"Saint Shangqing's Jie Sect is indeed a fine choice... Junior Disciple Brother Xuandu, please take Fellow Daoist Jin Ling to see Saint Shangqing!"

Xian Junyu hesitated for a moment, then said to Xuandu.

Ordinarily, as the Senior Disciple Brother of the Jie Sect, he should be the one to take Jin Ling to seek a master. But remembering how his master had been three months ago...

He decisively handed the task to Xuandu.

"Huh? Me? Senior Disciple Brother, Fellow Daoist Jin Ling wants to join Uncle Tongtian's sect—wouldn't you be more suitable?" Xuandu asked, utterly confused.

His Senior Disciple Brother Xian Junyu was the First Disciple of the Jie Sect. Who could be more fitting than him to handle Jin Ling's apprenticeship?

Having him go instead—Xuandu didn't understand.

"I went last time, so it's your turn this time. We're both responsible for this matter—it's not like we're just standing here!"

With that, Xian Junyu pulled Xuandu aside and said quietly:

"I've had a little misunderstanding with my master recently. I'd better keep my distance for now. You going, Junior Disciple Brother, is just right!"

A little misunderstanding?

How little could it be, that the Senior Disciple Brother didn't dare face Uncle Tongtian...

Xuandu's mouth twitched at that. His Senior Disciple Brother had clearly angered Uncle Tongtian and didn't dare go.

To be fair, with the master and disciple having a small spat, sending him was indeed quite fitting.

"Ah... in that case, I'll take over, Junior Disciple Brother!"

"Fellow Daoist Jin Ling, follow me!"

Without further ado, Xuandu led the somewhat curious Jin Ling and flew off toward Uncle Tongtian's Daoist Sanctuary.

Watching Xuandu take Jin Ling away, Xian Junyu muttered to himself.

"Last time I didn't want to work, and Master was already unhappy. Not long after that, if I see Master again, I'll definitely get a scolding—maybe even a beating..."

"I think I'll avoid seeing Master for the next few years... no, decades. I'll go when Master's in a better mood. Yeah, that's settled!"

After some deliberation, Xian Junyu decided not to see his master for a few decades, purely to dodge trouble.

Stopping his cultivation, he looked at the results of three months of hard work and sneered in disdain.

"Damn it, three months of effort and my cultivation only improved by a hair. Without a hundred years, breaking through is probably hopeless..."

"As expected, hard work is meaningless. I'll just wait to reap the rewards!"

Giving up on self-effort, Xian Junyu returned to his old life of eating, drinking, and lazing about.

With System Bro around, why bother working hard?

Which transmigrator with a System Bro still cultivated on their own?

Waste of time!

Meanwhile, just as Xian Junyu had guessed, when Tongtian saw that his senior disciple hadn't come and Xuandu had led the others instead, he was also furious.

"What a reckless brat! I only said one word to him, and now he dares not come see me? Infuriating!"

In his anger, Tongtian unconsciously let a sliver of his Saintly pressure leak out.

But even that sliver of Saintly pressure directly forced Xuandu and Jin Ling to bend at the waist—though it wasn't out of the question that Tongtian was doing it on purpose.

"Uncle-Master, please calm your anger. Senior Disciple Brother has been in cultivation all this time; he didn't mean to avoid you!" Xuandu made excuses for Xian Junyu.

He had no choice. The Saint's pressure was crushing his breath; if he didn't speak up, he'd lose face in front of his new Junior Disciple Sister.

Sure enough, hearing that Xian Junyu had started cultivating, Tongtian's mood improved slightly, and the Saint withdrew his pressure.

Xuandu and Jin Ling both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Whew! This Saint was absolutely terrifying—just a wisp of his aura made them feel death itself. Too frightening!

But the next second, the change in Saint Tongtian's expression made the two worry again.

Tongtian heard that his senior disciple had finally begun cultivating, and his mood lightened a bit. After all, Xuandu wouldn't lie, and no one dared speak nonsense before a Saint.

Except... for that disciple of his...

He wanted to check if his senior disciple had made any progress. His Saintly sense swept to the foot of the mountain, and seeing Xian Junyu still in the same sorry state as before, with no sign of cultivation at all, his entire face darkened.

That good-for-nothing—him, cultivate? As if!

"Xuandu! From now on, you will be in charge of the disciples from the other two sects. If anyone wants to join the Jie Sect, let that reckless brat Xian Junyu handle it 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, along with treasures like the Dragon Tiger Ruyi and the Four Symbols Pagoda.

Thus, Jin Ling became the Senior Disciple Sister of the Jie Sect, and in the future, the Chief of Female Immortals.

Over on Xian Junyu's side, the moment Jin Ling was accepted, the System immediately sent a notification.

[Ding! A bindable target detected. Host, please bind the target as soon as possible to avoid missing the rebate!]

"System Bro, bind Jin Ling!"

Knowing it was his Junior Disciple Sister Jin Ling being taken in by the Master, he didn't hesitate and directly had the System bind her.

[Ding! Jin Ling bound successfully!]

[Current total bound personnel: 2 people!]

With two future Quasi-Saints bound, Xian Junyu was now as steady as an old dog, no longer worried about the coming Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
