Meeting and Time to Consult

Fang Liushui simply smiled and remained silent.

Whether it's a bad thing or not, he couldn't say for sure; only time will tell.

After leaving the summit of White Jade Mountain, Li Yunjing returned to Lu Xian's cultivation hall.

Not long after, Lu Xian returned.

"Young friend, all the people you wanted to see have arrived," Lu Xian said with a smile.

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, then followed Lu Xian away.

Upon entering a grand hall, Li Yunjing saw six people.

Of the six people, Li Yunjing recognized one of them—it was Jingyue.

The remaining five people included men and women, and were of different ages.

There were three men and two women, with the three men appearing to be of vastly different ages.

One looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, another was nearly fifty with a somewhat weathered face, and the last one had white hair and beard and was very old.

The remaining two female cultivators were close in age, both nearing fifty.

As soon as Li Yunjing entered the hall, all six people turned to look at him.

Jingyue had met Li Yunjing before, so she smiled and nodded in greeting.

The other five people looked Li Yunjing up and down, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Old Lu, is he the one from the outside world?"

The frail old man looked at Lu Xian and asked a question.

Lu Xian nodded. "That's right, he is the outsider I told you about."

The five people looked at Li Yunjing with even more curiosity, and even a hint of scrutiny.

Li Yunjing ignored the five people and walked straight towards Jingyue.

Approaching Jingyue, Li Yunjing produced the contract.

"The White Jade Palace has already signed the contract, what about your Seven Treasures Sect?" Li Yunjing asked.

Jingyue looked surprised, took the contract and saw the words "White Jade Palace" on it.

"I cannot decide this matter; I need to consult my senior brother," Jingyue said.

Li Yunjing frowned. "Hmm? You can't decide?"

Jingyue Li Yunjing's questioning, Jingyue's heart tightened, and she immediately explained:

"I really can't decide. The main problem is that the Seven Treasures Sect's inheritance token isn't in my hands. Even if I wanted to sign the Seven Treasures Sect's name, I couldn't do it."

Li Yunjing nodded and took the contract back.

"In that case, you should go back first and call your senior brother here."

Jingyue glanced helplessly at Li Yunjing.

But he didn't say anything and obediently did as instructed.

There was nothing he could do; Li Yunjing had a powerful ancestor.

Jingyue's departure surprised everyone present.

Especially those five people Li Yunjing didn't recognize; they hadn't expected Jingyue to be so obedient.

You should know that Jingyue has a notoriously fiery temper.

She's had her fair share of fights, and when a fight breaks out, it always comes down to a winner and a loser, sometimes even to life or death.

This resulted in almost no one in the Mysterious Female Realm being willing to deal with her.

But now, they were shocked to see Jingyue, who usually had such a fiery temper, being so obedient.

Among the five, the old man gave Li Yunjing a deep look.

Having lived for many years, he naturally saw through Li Yunjing's intentions.

This was done to give them a warning.

Even Jingyue and the Seven Treasures Sect are so obedient. The five of them have forces behind them that can't compare to the Seven Treasures Sect. Do they still think they can be superior?

"Hehe, may I ask how to address this young friend?" The old man asked Li Yunjing with a smile.

Li Yunjing replied with a smile, "My surname is Li, my given name is Yunjing, and I am the head of the Tianyuan Luozhen Sect."

"Oh? Could Tianyuan be the Dao Realm where you reside, young friend?" the old man immediately asked curiously.

Li Yunjing nodded. "That's right. Compared to the Mysterious Female Realm, Tianyuan is much stronger. The Principle of the Mysterious Female Realm are incomplete, so one can only cultivate to the Nascent Soul Perfection before being stuck and unable to go any further."

But in Tianyuan, one can overcome this hurdle and continue cultivating upwards, even ascending to immortality...

Li Yunjing gave Tianyuan a big thumbs up.

This immediately piqued the curiosity of the five people, including the old man.

Even Lu Xian, who was standing to the side, felt a strong urge to join in.

I had heard Li Yunjing talk about Tianyuan's situation many times before, but I still couldn't help but feel excited.

"What an enchanting world!" the old man exclaimed with deep emotion.

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid this world is not for me."

Li Yunjing narrowed his eyes but did not respond.

Right after the old man finished speaking, the child who looked about twelve or thirteen years old next to him suddenly spoke up.

"Young friend Li, I yearn to visit such a wondrous place. I wonder if you have any way to allow me to go to Tianyuan? If you can help me, I, Wan Tao, will forever remember your kindness."

Li Yunjing smiled and looked at Lu Xian.

Lu Xian immediately understood Li Yunjing's meaning and coughed to attract attention.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, going to Tianyuan is very simple. Just have your Sky-Soaring Sword Sect acknowledge Luozhen Sect as its superior sect," Lu Xian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wan Tao frowned immediately. "Like the White Jade Palace?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I help you, young friend?" Lu Xian said.

"To be honest, my purpose in coming to the Mysterious Female Realm Mysterious Female Realm to conquer it."

However, Xiaoyou is easygoing and doesn't want to start a fight, so he sat down and had a proper discussion with us.

If you don't want to agree, I'm afraid... things could escalate to the point of violence.

I've told you before, young friend, your ancestor was a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, a being far beyond our cultivation level.

Moreover, young friend, you must know many powerful cultivators in Tianyuan. If it really comes to a fight, your chances of winning are probably only..."

Lu Xian shook his head, clearly not believing that these people could resist the Luozhen Sect.

In fact, these were also Lu Xian's thoughts at the time.

More than half a month ago, when Li Yunjing proposed that White Jade Palace become a subordinate sect of the Luozhen Sect, Lu Xian was also unwilling.

Upon hearing about Tianyuan's situation mentioned by Li Yunjing, and considering Fang Hexuan's presence, Lu Xian had to consider the consequences of taking action.

After thinking it through, Lu Xian decided there was no need to take action, as the cost would be something the White Jade Palace could not afford.

After listening to Lu Xian's words, Wan Tao also fell into deep thought.

As one of the five major sects, Sky-Soaring Sword Sect wielded immense influence in the Mysterious Female Realm. Naturally, it was unacceptable for them to become a subordinate sect in the short term.

"Alas, I'm afraid I can't make a decision on this matter alone," Wan Tao said, then looked at Li Yunjing.

"Young friend, please give me a little time. I will go and speak with the elders in the sect immediately. I should have a result in an hour at most."

Li Yunjing nodded. "Please do as you wish."

Wan Tao left the scene to talk with the people from the Sky-Soaring Sword Sect.

The remaining four looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

In the end, the two female cultivators stood up together.

"Young friend, please give me a little time."

"Me too, I need to discuss this matter with the elders in the clan."

Li Yunjing agreed to all of their requests, allowing the two to have a proper conversation.

Only the middle-aged man and the old man remained.

The two of them remained calm and did not speak immediately.

Li Yunjing didn't care about their attitudes, and he wasn't going to speak first anyway.

If Li Yunjing didn't speak, Lu Xian would be even more silent.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the entire hall.

After a while, it was the old man who couldn't hold back any longer.

"Alright, let me go and discuss it with the others."

The old man stood up and left the main hall.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but simply cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, seemingly also intending to discuss it.

Once the two people left, Lu Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Honestly, I don't know what she's arguing about?"
