Common Cultivation Knowledge

Perhaps it was because he had seen such a stunning beauty?

Was that the reason his mood had improved?

At this moment, Li Yunjing did not yet know that the lightning which had struck him had, through a night of transformation, begun to turn him from an ordinary martial artist into a peerless genius with top-tier talent.

This was no ordinary lightning, but an extremely rare bolt of "Creation Divine Thunder."

Carrying the "Root of Ancestral Thunder," this divine lightning had come from the void, piercing through the primordial universe, sweeping across billions of planes, and descending upon this world to strike Li Yunjing's body.

Li Yunjing had no idea what kind of fortune he had stumbled upon.

In a world as vast as the sands of the Ganges, with endless living beings and infinite ages, this was an opportunity that was nearly impossible to obtain.

The probability was simply too low.

Li Yunjing was a lucky soul of heaven-defying proportions!

A seed of the lightning origin had already taken root and sprouted within his mind.

"In that case, let us travel together! According to our schedule, we should arrive at the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' after noon tomorrow!"

Yu Yunyi chuckled, her face as radiant as a peach blossom.

"Many thanks, Eldest Miss! I, Li, will certainly repay this kindness in the future!"

Li Yunjing was filled with gratitude; he had not expected the Yu Family's eldest miss to be so easy to talk to.

This truly exceeded his expectations.

At the beginning, Li Yunjing had assumed that a young lady from a great family would be high and mighty, likely dismissing him after a few casual questions.

He had not expected there to be no discrimination at all; her words and demeanor were filled with sincerity.

A person like this was truly extraordinary!

Yu Yunyi had really done him a huge favor. Could it be that, just as Steward Li had said, the eldest miss of their Yu Family was a good person?

Li Yunjing still seemed somewhat skeptical!

They chatted with one another for a while.

During this time, with Steward Li's introductions, Li Yunjing learned that the Yu Family was actually a cultivation family from "Yueming City."

Moreover, they were a top-tier noble clan, and the ancestor of the family was a legendary Golden Core stage expert.

Beyond that one Golden Core ancestor, the entire Yu Family possessed many Foundation Establishment True Persons and Qi Refining stage cultivators; even small, ordinary cultivation sects were not as powerful as the Yu Family.

As the standout of her generation within the family, Yu Yunyi was on her way to the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" to apprentice and learn the arts.

The "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" was an extremely prominent major sect on the "Southern Heaven Continent."

It was the most powerful sect, revered collectively by over a dozen dynasties across the Southern Heaven Continent.

The "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" had been established for over thirty thousand years, and no one knew how many great figures who left behind infinite legends had been born there.

Everyone on the Southern Heaven Continent knew the prestige of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

Even among mortals, the deeds of the immortals from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" were widely circulated.

It was just that very few people knew the actual location of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

It was only by a stroke of luck that Li Yunjing had obtained information about the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

Having reached the pinnacle of martial arts, Li Yunjing had immediately developed the desire to cultivate.

No matter how good a mortal life was, how could it compare to that of an immortal?

Since ancient times, everyone had yearned for longevity, and Li Yunjing was naturally no exception.

With a goal in mind, Li Yunjing had made up his mind to follow the clues he had obtained and venture into the Divine Firmament Mountain Range.

That was how the preceding events had come to pass.

Regardless of the cost, Li Yunjing wanted to join such a major sect.

He was different from Yu Yunyi; that young lady came from a wealthy and powerful family and had possessed much since birth.

Li Yunjing, however, had spent the previous years wandering the world as a vagabond of the pugilistic realm.

A month ago, having obtained a Qi Refining Manual and the clues to the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, he naturally had to cherish this opportunity.

Struck by lightning last night and having his body transformed throughout the night, Li Yunjing had unknowingly developed a sense for Qi.

Now, Li Yunjing barely possessed the cultivation of the first layer of the Qi Refining stage, finally crossing the threshold into the cultivation world.

Such cultivation was naturally not held in high regard by the Yu Family.

Never mind the unfathomable eldest miss of the Yu Family, even the methods of Steward Li were not something Li Yunjing could contend with.

Even the surrounding maids and the accompanying knights seemed to be more powerful than Li Yunjing...

When everyone gathered to eat, Li Yunjing saw this and felt a little depressed.

"The path of immortality is long and arduous; I shall seek it high and low."

Li Yunjing comforted himself and took a fierce bite of rabbit meat.

I never expected this meat to taste so good!

It was almost on par with the standard of a game restaurant he had frequented in his past life.

Ling'er, this little maid, not only had a higher cultivation base than him, but her culinary skills were also this exquisite!

The more time Li Yunjing spent with the Yu Family, the more he felt a sense of awe.

Here, everyone was stronger than him.

Such a feeling was truly uncomfortable.

Having traveled the world for three years, Li Yunjing had basically never encountered any cultivators.

After all, there was a distinction between the immortal and the mortal; one's circle was determined by one's level.

For all these years, Li Yunjing had assumed he was already an invincible existence under the heavens.

Only now did he realize that he had merely been a frog at the bottom of a well.

To be so deeply discouraged here at the Yu Family, to the point of being inferior even to a little maid!

Sigh! I only hope that after entering the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, I can cultivate diligently, accumulate strength, and catch up to others.

Li Yunjing tasted another bite of the grouse meat, his mind calculating his future plans.

As for being so discouraged that he would never recover?

That was impossible!

He had been strong in the past, he was strong now, and he would be even stronger in the future!

During the meal, through his conversation with Yu Yunyi, Li Yunjing gained an intuitive understanding of the cultivation world.

Yu Yunyi knew that Li Yunjing understood nothing and was merely a fledgling who had just stumbled into the cultivation world.

The young lady was understanding and kindly gave Li Yunjing a brief introduction to everything from the origins of the cultivation world to the entire Great Ming Dynasty, rogue cultivators, families, sects, and the Divine Firmament Dao Sect.

A vivid world began to take shape in Li Yunjing's mind.

So there are actually so many immortal sects and families within the Great Ming Dynasty!

This was truly a case of being unable to see what was right under one's nose.

Li Yunjing couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Back then, he had even thought about going to the imperial palace to have some fun.

It was fortunate that he had never put that thought into practice!

It turned out that the Great Ming imperial family was also protected by cultivators, and there were members of the royal family who practiced the immortal path!

Through their exchange, Li Yunjing finally learned that his Qi Refining Art was nothing at all.

It was the most widely circulated introductory technique in the cultivation world.

One could say it didn't even have any trade value.

Almost every cultivator knew this method of refining Qi.

Fortunately, the Yu Family members were decent enough not to mock him, leaving Li Yunjing with plenty of face.

This greatly increased Li Yunjing's favorable impression of the Yu Family.

After the group finished their meal and rested for a short while, they immediately packed up and continued on their journey.

Li Yunjing's treatment remained quite good; the carriage he had previously lain in was temporarily assigned to him.

Runes were carved onto the wheels of this carriage, so even when traveling on bumpy mountain roads, it remained very stable and did not cause any discomfort to those sitting inside.

Being with the Yu Family was truly high-pressure.
