Bandit Suppression, Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment?!

Li Yunjing was taken aback.

The Immortal Alliance has strict regulations regarding the specifications of its branches.

It started as a small market town.

Expansion will only be permitted if meritorious service is achieved.

It expanded from a small market town into a large town.

Only after achieving further merits can the scale of the operation grow larger and larger.

The current Xunxian Town is practically the best among small towns.

Further expansion would only lead to the formation of a city, where city walls and other structures could be built.

However, ever since the establishment of Xunxian Town...

Centuries have passed.

I've never heard of Xunxian Town expanding into a city.

Li Yunjing never expected that the group of bandits he had casually captured last time...

Surprisingly, this gave Xunxian Town an opportunity to expand.

Once Xunxian Town expands, it will occupy a much larger area.

They will also be able to apply for more resources.

At that time, the upper limit of Xunxian Town will no longer be Golden Core, but Nascent Soul.

Continue to expand, and even higher-level Spirit Transformation may appear.

However, even if the upper limit is only raised to the Nascent Soul...

This is also of great significance to Xunxian Town.

This means that veteran Foundation Establishment like Huo Junrui from the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance...

Those with seniority can obtain more resources, thereby increasing their chances of Core Formation.

Becoming Golden Core cultivator would allow one to remain powerful for several hundred more years.

How could a cultivator like Huo Junrui not be tempted?

No wonder Huo Junrui said that everyone in the Immortal Alliance was grateful to Li Yunjing.

This is an opportunity brought about by Li Yunjing.

Upon realizing this, Li Yunjing smiled modestly.

"I was merely the icing on the cake."

Huo Junrui laughed heartily, "You're really modest, lad."

"By the way, what Foundation Establishment are you? How come I can't see through your cultivation?"

Li Yunjing was even more modest. "I am merely Heaven Grade, currently at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."

"What!? Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment!?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Junrui immediately shouted it out.

This roar immediately silenced the entire training ground.

Everyone looked this way.

Seeing this, Huo Junrui intended to create momentum for Li Yunjing.

You say you're Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment!?

Li Yunjing nodded helplessly.

"You little rascal..." Huo Junrui was so shocked he didn't know what to say.

The others in the training ground witnessed this scene.

They were all whispering among themselves.

"Sect Leader Li is actually Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment! This is the first time since the founding of Xunxian Town!"

"Immeasurable, immeasurable!"

"No wonder Deacon Wang and the others came to the banquet; this is Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment!"

"..."

Li Yunjing listened to the whispers around him and sighed inwardly.

To be honest, Li Yunjing didn't like the feeling of being in the limelight.

The reason why Li Yunjing did not publicize his status as Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment after reaching the Foundation Establishment was also due to safety concerns.

Who knows if some fools might be jealous of Li Yunjing and, with the attitude of "if I can't have him, I'll destroy him," come to assassinate Li Yunjing.

Although the chances are slim, they're not nonexistent.

Li Yunjing didn't want things to turn out this way.

However, Huo Junrui has now publicly announced this news.

After the Foundation Establishment Banquet, the news that Li Yunjing is Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment will surely spread like wildfire.

In that case, Li Yunjing adjusted his mindset.

Instead of feeling upset, accept it.

Revealing a portion of one's innermost knowledge can sometimes be entirely beneficial.

Anyone who learned that Li Yunjing was Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment...

Everyone has to be careful when dealing with Li Yunjing.

"You're Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment, why didn't you report it to the Immortal Alliance?"

At this moment, Wang Qianxue frowned.

Li Yunjing was taken aback. "Why does Deacon Wang say that?"

Wang Qianxue said helplessly, "Take out your Immortal Alliance Token."

Li Yunjing produced the Immortal Alliance Token.

Wang Qianxue channeled a burst of magical Law Power into the Immortal Alliance Token.

Then the Immortal Alliance Token floated up.

Then it released a beam of light.

The light distorted, then transformed into two characters.

Lower middle.

"The rating of the Luozhen Sect has been raised," Wang Qianxue said.

Previously, Luozhen Sect was ranked as the lowest of the lowest.

This will not receive much support from the Immortal Alliance Immortal Alliance.

It's merely about preserving the status of a member of the Immortal Alliance, plus a few minor perks.

More support from the Immortal Alliance, such as applying for high-level cultivators to oversee the cause, and exchanging various resources.

The next rating is completely unacceptable; a higher rating is needed.

"If you had said you were Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment earlier, the Luozhen Sect's rating would have been higher," Wang Qianxue said helplessly.

"Unfortunately, the Luozhen Sect has already been rated once, and if we want it rated again, we'll have to wait another year."

Li Yunjing couldn't help but ask curiously, "If I told you, what ranking would the Luozhen Sect receive?"

Wang Qianxue said, "It's hard to say, but it won't be the worst; at the very least, it will be a lower-middle rating."

The Immortal Alliance's rating is based on the overall strength and potential of the Luozhen Sect.

"You're at the Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment, which gives you a significant boost in potential."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing felt a surge of regret.

He really didn't know that.

After all, ever since Li Yunjing joined the Luozhen Sect,

The Luozhen Sect has always been ranked at the very bottom.

Nangong Chengyu has never mentioned anything about ratings.

If Li Yunjing had known this earlier, he should have reported it.

At this moment, Wang Qianxue looked apologetic.

"It's also my fault; I should have asked more questions back then."

Li Yunjing shook his head, indicating that it was not Wang Qianxue's fault.

However, this incident didn't affect Li Yunjing much.

It's only a year; Li Yunjing can wait that long.

Moreover, who knows what the Luozhen Sect will be like a year from now.

Return the Immortal Alliance Token to Li Yunjing.

Huo Junrui then pulled Li Yunjing aside and started drinking.

This is a young man with considerable potential.

Huo Junrui intends to cultivate a good relationship with Li Yunjing.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

As Li Yunjing grew up in the future

Huo Junrui did not ask Li Yunjing to take him to heaven.

Even a small gift from him would probably be enough for Huo Junrui to squander.

Time passed slowly, and it was soon past noon, around 2 PM.

The Foundation Establishment Banquet was drawing to a close.

By this time, many people had already left.

Those who remain are all individuals or forces that have joined the Immortal Alliance.

Li Yunjing also felt a little dizzy at this moment.

This spirit wine is potent enough.

At this moment, Wang Qianxue looked around and then stood up.

"Gentlemen, taking advantage of this Luozhen Sect, I have something to inform you all."

These words immediately silenced everyone.

All eyes turned to Wang Qianxue.

"You all surely know what happened on Seven Ingenuities Mountain: six small Lineage were wiped out."

However, you probably can't guess what exactly happened.

To make a long story short, under the instigation of the Heavenly Star Bandits, six small Lineage on Seven Ingenuities Mountain have been secretly cultivating the Illusory Spirit Flower.

If Sect Leader Li hadn't discovered it in time and reported it to the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance, the subsequent ripening of these Illusory Spirit Flower would have caused great harm to Xunxian Town.

At this moment, everyone present widened their eyes and all their gazes fell on Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing remained calm, cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, indicating that it was all his duty.

Then, Wang Qianxue continued:

"Last night, with the cooperation of Elder Mo Xuan of the Luozhen Sect, we captured two Heavenly Star Bandits alive."

After a night of questioning, I learned from those two bandit cultivators that the Heavenly Star Bandits had actually reached out their fangs.

The Heavenly Star Bandits have set up a hideout somewhere and are currently recruiting rogue Rogue Cultivator with ulterior motives to join them.

After discussion, this steward has decided to eliminate this bandit den; your cooperation is required.

As soon as Wang Qianxue finished speaking, someone immediately stood up to respond.

"Please give us your Deacon Wang, and we will certainly obey."

"Indeed, we are all aware of the harm caused by these bandit cultivators; they must be eradicated at the root!"

Li Yunjing also responded to the call at this time.

"The bandits must be wiped out; we have no choice. Although my Luozhen Sect is small in number, we are willing to do our part!"

The others also loudly agreed.

This is a good thing for everyone.

Firstly, suppressing bandits would improve safety and prevent harm to himself or his disciples.

Secondly, it also brings rewards from the Immortal Alliance.

Naturally, no one would refuse such a good thing.

Wang Qianxue smiled.

"Alright, this matter is settled. We await further instructions from the Immortal Alliance."
