Newcomers, the Jade Firmament Jujube Tree

Returning to the Luozhen Sect,

Li Yunjing immediately spotted Zhang Hongzhi and his two old buddies resting.

Besides the three old guys, there were also three strong young men.

Upon seeing Li Yunjing, Zhang Hongzhi immediately stood up.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Li."

After saying that, Zhang Hongzhi waved to the three young men.

"Come quickly and meet Sect Leader Li."

Then, Zhang Hongzhi looked at Li Yunjing with a smile.

"Sect Leader Li, these three are the newly accepted disciples of us three old guys."

From now on, all the skills we three old guys have acquired will be passed on to these three.

"If Sect Leader Li needs anything in the future, just come to them. We three old folks are too old for this."

Li Yunjing nodded, then greeted the three young men.

The three young men were very nervous.

This was the first time the three of them had met such an important figure as Li Yunjing.

Moreover, Li Yunjing's reputation has skyrocketed since yesterday.

Who in the entire Xunxian Town doesn't know Li Yunjing now?

That's really a country bumpkin.

"Sect Leader Li, as you instructed, the three of us old fellows will continue to construct five more buildings for the Luozhen Sect. After that, we will retire, and you will need to contact the three of them afterwards."

At this point, Zhang Hongzhi added a sentence.

Li Yunjing nodded slightly.

This was agreed upon from the beginning.

Li Yunjing originally planned to build five new buildings first.

The construction of too many buildings is beyond the capacity of the Luozhen Sect to manage in a short period of time.

But that was all in the past.

With the Heaven-Character VIP Token from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Li Yunjing could finally act a little more freely.

"Senior Zhang, the skills of these three..."

Li Yunjing feigned hesitation.

It's questionable whether the three young men's skills can match those of the three veteran craftsmen, Zhang Hongzhi and his team.

Zhang Hongzhi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Sect Leader Li, all three of them have good talent."

They're quick-witted and have their own ideas. They've already learned most of the skills of the three of us old guys, and have been practicing them for a long time. They're trustworthy."

Well, since Zhang Hongzhi has said so...

Li Yunjing then chose to believe Zhang Hongzhi.

It was recommended by an acquaintance, after all.

Li Yunjing also didn't want to find new craftsmen.

Too much trouble; Li Yunjing dislikes trouble.

Let Zhang Hongzhi and the others get some rest.

Li Yunjing returned to his cave abode.

Arriving in the backyard,

Li Yunjing saw Ding Qifeng squatting in front of the medicinal herb field.

In the medicinal herb field, a tender seedling sprouts from the soil.

"Uncle Ding, what's wrong with you...?"

Li Yunjing stepped forward and asked curiously.

Ding Qifeng stared intently at the seedlings.

"Yunjing, do you know what this is?" Ding Qifeng asked.

Li Yunjing shook his head and squatted down as well.

"Does Uncle Ding know?"

Ding Qifeng turned to look at Li Yunjing.

He was speechless; Li Yunjing didn't even know what this was.

Is this a case of fools having good fortune?

"These are seedlings of the Jade Firmament Jujube Tree."

"Jade Firmament Jujube Tree?!"

Li Yunjing looked stunned upon hearing Ding Qifeng's words.

Li Yunjing naturally knew what the Jade Firmament Jujube Tree was.

This is a sacred tree, very rare.

The Jade Firmament Jujube produced are believed to have longevity-promoting effects.

In the cultivation world, lifespan is the most important thing.

As long as you're alive, there are endless possibilities.

If you die, all hope is gone.

In order to prolong their lives, cultivators have devised many methods.

But the best option is still to consume various heavenly materials and earthly treasures or elixirs.

Therefore, any heavenly materials and earthly treasures or elixirs associated with longevity are acceptable.

That's incredibly valuable.

They can often be sold for a fairly high price.

Jade Firmament Jujube, among these rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures,

Although it belongs to the lower level, it is still something that can be encountered but not sought after.

The value of Jade Firmament Jujube varies depending on their age.

Even a few decades-old Jade Firmament Jujube is worth two or three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

This is unmatched by any other spirit medicine of the same year.

"With this Jade Firmament Jujube Tree here, your Luozhen Sect has a chance to rise." Ding Qifeng's gaze was slightly complicated.

With the support of the Immortal Alliance, they have now acquired another treasure that is worthy of being a sect's most powerful artifact.

The rise of the Luozhen Sect is only a matter of time.

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "In that case, Uncle Ding, why don't you join the Luozhen Sect?"

Ding Qifeng stood up and smiled:

"Why are you so stubborn, kid? As long as you fulfill my conditions, I will naturally agree to join the Luozhen Sect."

Li Yunjing also stood up and nodded with a smile.

Ding Qifeng added, "By the way, I originally planned to go back today, but I'm very comfortable staying at the Luozhen Sect. You don't mind if I stay a little longer, do you?"

Ding Qifeng looked at Li Yunjing with a smile.

Li Yunjing was taken aback, but quickly replied with delight, "How could I mind? Uncle Ding can stay as long as he wants. If he could stay indefinitely, that would be even better."

Ding Qifeng chuckled.

"Where is your master's grave? I'd like to go and pay my respects." Ding Qifeng changed the subject, mentioning Nangong Chengyu.

Li Yunjing pointed to the east.

"It's over there. Let me take you there."

Ding Qifeng nodded.

Li Yunjing then led Ding Qifeng to Nangong Chengyu's tomb.

Before long, the two arrived at their destination.

Offerings were placed in front of Nangong Chengyu's grave.

It appears to have been released by Wang Qianxue yesterday.

Li Yunjing planned to go into the small house next door, leaving the space to Ding Qifeng alone.

But at that moment, the door of the thatched hut opened.

Wang Qianxue came out.

"Deacon Wang." Li Yunjing bowed immediately upon seeing Wang Qianxue.

Ding Qifeng was also taken aback, then nodded in greeting.

The two could be considered friends.

Wang Qianxue simply nodded to Li Yunjing and Ding Qifeng without saying a word.

After saying hello, Wang Qianxue left directly.

After Wang Qianxue left, Ding Qifeng said:

"She seemed upset, and she burst into tears. I don't know what happened?"

Ding Qifeng is not blind.

Wang Qianxue's eyes were red, clearly from crying.

As for the reason, I don't know.

Li Yunjing had a guess in his mind.

However, he didn't say it.

Gossiping about others behind their backs is not Li Yunjing's style.

Moreover, Wang Qianxue has been a great help to him.

Li Yunjing would never fabricate stories about Wang Qianxue.

Upon entering the thatched hut, the interior was found to be very clean and tidy.

Based on the previous tidying up by Li Yunjing

Wang Qianxue tidied up again last night.

Li Yunjing sat down at the desk and quietly waited for Ding Qifeng to finish his prayers.

It didn't take long for Ding Qifeng to finish his offerings.

He returned to the Luozhen Sect with Li Yunjing.

Ding Qifeng rushed into the Alchemy Chamber.

Li Yunjing then returned to his cave abode.

He entered his own bedroom.

Li Yunjing took out the small tower, intending to study it.

However, after examining it closely...

Li Yunjing, however, was unable to find anything special about the small tower.

Except for the line of text at the bottom.

Li Yunjing was somewhat discouraged.

After climbing over the small tower, Li Yunjing looked at the line of words at the bottom.

"The Nine Heavens Exquisite Pagoda, sealing spirits Daozhen..."

Li Yunjing murmured to himself.

However, the sentence was not pronounced using the modern pronunciation.

Instead, the sentence was pronounced High Antiquity pronunciation.

Long ago, the monks pronounced their words differently.

It is quite complex; a single word often requires several syllables to fully express its meaning.

Later, as time went on, it became increasingly simplified.

Nowadays, a single word often only needs one syllable to fully express its meaning.

Under the tutelage of Nangong Chengyu, Li Yunjing

They can recognize and read some ancient characters naturally.

Therefore, upon seeing this line of text, Li Yunjing involuntarily read it aloud in High Antiquity pronunciation.

However, he had barely finished reading that line of text.

Suddenly, the small tower floated up from Li Yunjing's hand.

Suspended in mid-air, a dazzling Golden Light emanated from the small tower, quickly engulfing the entire palace.

Because the light was so dazzling, Li Yunjing involuntarily raised his arm in front of his eyes.

Only after the Golden Light gradually disappeared did Li Yunjing lower his arm.

However, at this moment, Li Yunjing discovered that the small tower had disappeared...
