Upgrading and Helping the Luozhen Sect

"It's actually the soul of the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable!?"

Li Yunjing was quite surprised to see the given hint.

The previous summoning at the Hall of Sages was not like this; the summoned sages were all phantoms.

But now they've actually summoned the spirits of the ancient sages.

Compared to phantoms, ghosts are far more powerful.

Judging from the behavior of the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable, the deceased souls clearly possess their own consciousness.

"Hey, young man, where is this?"

At this moment, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable saw Li Yunjing and immediately asked a question.

Li Yunjing snapped out of his daze and a smile appeared on his face.

"Nine Spirits Holy Venerable, this is the Hall of Sages of my Luozhen Sect," Li Yunjing said.

"Hall of Sages? Luozhen Sect? What is all this about?" Nine Spirits Holy Venerable looked completely bewildered.

Li Yunjing then smiled and briefly explained the whole story to the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable.

Upon learning that he was already dead and that his soul had been summoned back by some important figure, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable was dumbfounded.

The Nine Spirits Holy Venerable knew that he was already dead.

He died in battle.

He was still pierced through the heart by an arrow.

He can still vaguely feel the pain of death even now.

After his death, his consciousness fell into oblivion.

Just now, his soul was summoned back.

Nine Spirits Holy Venerable never expected to see the light of day again, nor did he realize that he had been dead for countless years.

"Who... is that important person? And what does he want with me summoned?"

The Nine Spirits Holy Venerable looked at Li Yunjing with a curious expression.

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "His name cannot be revealed. As for his purpose, it is to get the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable to help my Luozhen Sect."

The so-called "big shot" is, of course, the control panel.

But Li Yunjing couldn't possibly bring this up on his own initiative.

Even if I were to say it, it's hard to say whether the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable would believe it.

Why not just personify the panel and make it a big shot, so that the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable will believe it?

After all, someone who can summon his soul must be very powerful.

"Help the Luozhen Sect? Does the Luozhen Sect have a close relationship with this important figure?" Nine Spirits Holy Venerable continued to ask.

Li Yunjing nodded. "The relationship is naturally very close, otherwise why would that important figure help the Luozhen Sect?"

"What am I supposed to do?" asked the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable.

Now that his soul has been summoned, even without a physical body, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable to say that he has been reborn.

Moreover, he could feel that his soul was completely intact.

Given the opportunity, it's not impossible for him to reconstruct his physical body.

At that time, he will be truly resurrected.

Therefore, regardless of who the important figure mentioned by Li Yunjing was, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable felt grateful.

Since that important figure asked the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable to help the Luozhen Sect, then let's do as 'he' says.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing was about to speak when he suddenly realized that he was unaware of the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable's abilities.

He immediately opened the panel to check the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable's abilities.

What Li Yunjing saw startled him.

After the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable was summoned, it was able to produce three effects on the Luozhen Sect.

1. You can listen to the Holy Venerable's sermons every day, which will temporarily increase your comprehension by 10%, with a +0.2% chance that the increase in comprehension will become permanent.

Second, one can seek the Dao from the Holy Venerable each day and randomly obtain one Cultivation Method.

Third, during the summoning period, the Cultivation Method proficiency growth rate of all sect members will double.

Each of the three effects is complex.

Especially the second one, which doesn't specifically state which grade of Cultivation Method one will obtain.

Therefore, Li Yunjing believed that the Cultivation Method he obtained might be of the seventh or even eighth rank, or even higher.

It all comes down to luck.

Just as Li Yunjing was pondering, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable asked another question.

Li Yunjing came to his senses and looked at the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable with a smile.

"Your Holiness, you only need to do what you are good at."

"What I'm good at..." Nine Spirits Holy Venerable lowered his head and pondered.

After a while, he looked at Li Yunjing.

"I'm not good at many things; researching various Cultivation Method is the only thing I've ever done in my life," said the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable.

After hearing this, Li Yunjing nodded and told him, "Then let's continue with this matter."

"Holy Lord, now that you have been resurrected, why don't you come with me for a walk and see what's going on outside?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable showed a look of interest on his face.

A very long time had passed since the era he lived in, and he wanted to see what the outside world was like now.

Li Yunjing led the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable away from the Hall of Sages.

Upon emerging, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable was astonished by the sight of the Grand Profound Grotto-Heaven.

"What a prosperous place! I never saw such a prosperous place back then!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but inquire about the situation during the era of the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable.

The Nine Spirits Holy Venerable told Li Yunjing everything about the situation in his era.

In his time, cultivators had existed for less than 100,000 years.

Therefore, that era can be seen as a time when cultivation had just begun.

Everything is still in the exploratory stage.

The magnificent buildings in the Grand Profound Grotto-Heaven today were nowhere to be seen in the era of the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable.

The houses people lived in during that era were very ordinary. The building materials needed for construction had not yet been developed, let alone the formations used in conjunction with the buildings.

After hearing this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but feel moved by the sacrifices made by those sages.

Without the sacrifices of our ancestors, we, their descendants, would probably not be able to enjoy the benefits we have today.

The two walked and talked, and soon they passed the Sutra Repository.

Upon learning that it was the Scripture Pavilion, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable decided to go in and take a look.

Li Yunjing readily agreed.

Upon entering the Scripture Pavilion, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable couldn't wait to pick up a book and begin reading.

The book was printed on paper and contained a Cultivation Method called the Evergreen Instruction.

The Nine Spirits Holy Venerable watched with utmost seriousness, even frowning from time to time.

Li Yunjing waited quietly to the side. After a while, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable put down the book in his hand.

"This Cultivation Method is far superior to the one I lived in. If such a Cultivation Method had existed in my time, I'm afraid far fewer people would have died." A hint of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable.

Although this Cultivation Method is only at the first rank.

But the era in which the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable lived was too harsh.

Everyone is feeling their way across the river by feeling for stones.

This Cultivation Method not only marks all the key points of the Qi Refining stage, but also indicates the cultivation path after Qi Refining.

If such a Cultivation Method existed in that era, it would be an absolute game-changer.

Li Yunjing smiled. Although this Cultivation Method was only of the first rank, it had been improved by many people.

There is now almost no room for improvement.

For such a Cultivation Method to appear in the era of the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable, it would be impossible without someone from later generations traveling back in time.

"Your Majesty, seeing how much you enjoy researching, why don't you just stay in this Scripture Pavilion?" Li Yunjing said at this moment.

"This will also allow you to understand what happened after your death; the library contains many books that record some history."

"Incidentally, the Holy Venerable can also take a look at some of the Cultivation Method in the Scripture Pavilion. With the Holy Venerable's abilities, he should be able to help the Luozhen Sect improve many of its problematic Cultivation Method."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable nodded immediately. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

This also perfectly aligned with the Nine Spirits Holy Venerable's own thoughts.

Nine Spirits Holy Venerable began reading, and Li Yunjing left without disturbing him.

After leaving the Sutra Repository, Li Yunjing headed towards the mountain gate, intending to upgrade it.
