C17 Downhill

"Sect Leader, you are still so modest. Your cultivation speed is not much slower than me, Old Zhou!"

When Leng Ruyan heard Zhou Tong's words, she smiled and said nothing. In her heart, she knew that Zhou Tong was still much stronger than her. If it weren't for the fact that the Floating Mist Pavilion had a tradition of being a female Sect Master, coupled with the fact that Zhou Tong didn't have the heart of a Sect Master, it might not have been her turn to sit.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony. Take a seat!" Leng Ruyan waved her hands and sat in the seat of honor. After looking around, she smiled and said, "Everyone's atmosphere is very strange. What happened?"

Everyone looked at each other without saying a word. A capable disciple approached Leng Ruyan's ear and whispered to her for a while.

Cold as smoke eyes gradually lit up, revolving around Li Yi and Zhao Zilong, and occasionally looking at Zhou Tong and Sun Ran.

Zhou Tong had a complacent look on his face as he chuckled at Sun Ran. Sun Ran's face was ashen as he turned his head to the side. The handle of the feather fan in his hand began to creak.

"Good! It seems like our Misty Pavilion has received two good disciples! Eldest senior brother, your eyes are as sharp as your cultivation! "

Leng Ruyan chuckled, then turned to Li Yi and Zi Long, saying, "Li Yi and Zi Long, our Floating Mist Pavilion has always been one to reward and punish those who are capable. You have displayed sufficient ability and potential today, so our sect has decided to open the Compendium Pavilion. We will let you in to take a look and allow you to record a cultivation technique or consummate skill! "

"Sect Master, you can't!"

When Sun Ran and the other elders heard this, their expressions changed greatly. Sun Ran even opened his mouth to stop him, "Sect Master, I have never allowed a disciple below the Foundation Establishment Stage to enter the Compendium Pavilion!"

Leng Ruyan stretched out her hand and said, "Elder Sun, there is no need to be impatient. Our sect has not finished speaking!"

"Li Yi, Zi Long, although I have permission to open the Compendium Pavilion, there are conditions. The two of you have also heard, that this pavilion has never allowed disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage to enter the Compendium Pavilion, so you two are naturally no exception. "

"Just now, Elder Sun didn't mention anything. That is, not all Foundation Establishment disciples have the qualifications to enter the Compendium Pavilion. Those that can enter are the elites of the inner sect disciples. So, you all must advance to the Foundation Establishment stage before I can open the Compendium Pavilion. "

Leng Ruyan smiled, she stood up and walked in front of Li Yi and Yue Yang, patting their shoulders and said, "You should just be ordinary disciples. From now on, you will be promoted to inner sect disciples! This sect knows that you are Eldest Martial Brother's disciples and you do not lack resources for cultivation.

"There is another point, every three months there is an Elder's talk, and only the inner disciples have the right to participate. Although Eldest Brother's cultivation is the best in this pavilion, he still has some advantages, and listening to the experiences of the other Elders will always be helpful!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader. There are very few Qi Cultivating Stage disciples who could become inner disciples."

Zhou Tong reminded on the side.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Li Yi and Zhao Zilong looked at each other, bowed at the same time and expressed their gratitude.

"..."

"Ha, what a great day! Xiao Yi, did you see Old Man Sun's expression? It's so funny to think about how shy and embarrassed they were, how livid they were, how they didn't say a word during the banquet! "

Leaving the door and Li Yi's residence, Zhao Zilong was lying on the bed. Recalling the scene where Sun Ran was at the celebration banquet, he couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness in his heart.

"Alright, let's not stay there and laugh. Although we have earned face today, we have still completely offended Sun Ran. This old fellow will definitely seize every opportunity to cause us trouble in the future. "We should hurry up and increase our strength. The more strength we have, the safer we will be!"

Although Zhao Zilong had matured earlier, he was still a child after all. Compared to him, Li Yi had thought more deeply.

He knew that the two of them had severely disgraced Sun Ran today, and that he would inevitably take revenge on them in the future. Although he had Zhou Tong as his master as his backing, he could still protect them for now and could not protect Sun Ran for the rest of their lives.

Finding a way to increase his strength was the way to go!

Li Yi had entered the Dao through martial arts, and now he also planned to fuse martial arts and immortal dao into his own unique dao. Relying on just cultivation and closed door cultivation alone was twice the result with half the effort. Zhao Zilong possessed an indestructible battle-body bloodline. To fully awaken it, other than practicing the [Eternal War Art], actual combat was also very important. Only by continuously breaking through on the border of life and death could he awaken the indestructible battle-body faster and faster.

Their situation had determined that they couldn't rely on cultivating in seclusion to raise their cultivation like the others. Fighting was the best way for them to improve.

Especially in a battle of life or death, it was absolutely the best tempering agent for them to refine hundreds of times into steel.

The problem was, inside the Misty Pavilion, there was no chance of a life or death battle. Even if it was yesterday, it was only a competition. In the battle between Zhao Zilong and Wu Ding.

Therefore, in order to break through and improve during the battle, they had to leave the Misty Pavilion first. But the problem was, they couldn't leave the sect casually before they reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivating Stage.

"How about, we go beg Master for a pass or something?" Zhao Zilong suggested.

Li Yi thought about it for a moment. He seemed to have no other choice other than to find his Master for them.

"Alright, let's go together tomorrow morning. I will make Master agree to it!"

Li Yi nodded, "It's getting late, go to sleep!"

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he was still a mortal and needed to sleep and eat.

The night passed in silence.

On the morning of the next day, after finishing his daily morning lesson against the purple gas in the sky, Zhou Tong leisurely walked over as per usual.

"Master, we have something to say to you."

"Oh, really? It just so happens that I have something to tell you! "

Li Yi and Li Jun were surprised. Zhou Tong also had something he wanted to tell them?

"Then Master, please tell us first. We are all ears!"

Li Yi cupped his fist and said.

"Xiao Yi, you should learn from Zi Long sometimes. You're too serious!" Zhou Tong shook his head. This disciple was good at everything, except that he was a bit too serious, not like a six year old child at all.

"Master wants you to go down the mountain and train."

Coughing lightly, Zhou Tong slowly said.

"What?"

"Master, you want us to go down the mountain?"

Li Yi and Li Jun rubbed their ears. They hadn't heard wrongly, right? Just as they were thinking about how to request Zhou Tong's permission to go down the mountain, Zhou Tong had brought it up himself.

"What? You're not willing?"

"I'm willing!" The two of them nodded like chicks pecking rice, and then said doubtfully, "But Master, why did you think of letting us go down the mountain to train? Qi Disciple level 9 and below are not allowed to leave the sect, right? "

"Your situation is different from everyone else's. Little Yi, you have walked on a path that no one has walked before. It is useless to rely only on closed door cultivation. Zi Long's indestructible body also needs a lot of battle to stimulate the awakening of his bloodline. So, I think you should go down the mountain and train yourselves. "

Li Yi and Li Jun looked at each other, both seeing a trace of gratitude in the other's eyes.

What a great master, everything was taken into consideration for them!

"Since I'm done, the two of you should consider it!" Zhou Tong paused, then said, "Oh right, don't you have something to say?"

"About that, actually, we also wanted to tell you about going down the mountain. I didn't expect that you would actually open your mouth first!" Li Yi and Li Jun scratched their heads as they giggled.

"Oh, ha-ha ha! In that case, the two of you are quite far-sighted! "Fine, Master is worrying for nothing this time."

Zhou Tong began to laugh loudly.

"Oh right, Master, where should we go down the mountain to gain more experience? You have a lot of experience, give us some pointers."

After laughing, Li Yi asked.

"Your cultivation is still very low right now, so you shouldn't go too far. You should stay within a hundred miles of the Misty Pavilion to train." "This is the jade slip to open the mountain gate, be careful not to lose it. With your current mana, you will not be able to support opening the mountain gate."

As Zhou Tong spoke, he handed over two dark green jade slips.

"Yes, Master!" Then let's go pack up and head down the mountain! "

The two of them took the jade slips, bowed, and then left to pack them up.

"..."

"Master, Li Yi and Zhao Zilong have left the sect and are heading down the Misty Peak!"

Outside the door to the training room, a young man in green respectfully reported to the inner room.

"Hmm, get Qian Wanshu and Fang Hai to follow them. Tell them that I don't want to see those two brats again!"

A middle-aged man's voice filled with anger came from the room. From the sound of the voice, it was shockingly Sun Ran, the Sect Leader and Grand Elder.

"Yes, Master!"

"..."

On the path to the Misty Peak.

"I'm finally out. I've been inside for more than two years and I've almost forgotten what it's like outside!"

Zhao Zilong was holding a stalk of wormwood in his mouth, walking leisurely on the mountain path, chatting with Li Yi.

"Yeah, I wonder how mom and dad are doing with sister?" "It's a pity that we haven't reached the 9th level of the Refinement Stage and can't fly. Otherwise, we can go back and take a look at them."

Li Yi was a bit disappointed. His strength was still lacking, otherwise he would have been able to ride his sword and fly away. Even though Thousand Sun City was far away, it would only take him a day to reach there.

"Where are we going? There has to be a direction. We can't just wander around aimlessly like this! "

Zhao Zilong said as he spat out the words.

Li Yi threw him a Rain-Cleansing Spell and thought for a while before saying, "After we go down the mountain, head south. I remember that I heard someone talking about the Thousand Monster Forest yesterday, we can go there to take a look."

"Thousand Goblin Forest? It sounds like the name is very domineering, is our little body going there okay? " Zhao Zilong's interest was piqued.

"Don't go too deep, I asked around yesterday, the inside of the Demon Forest is indeed very dangerous, there are several Demon Kings in the tribulation stage, but there are only a few Demon Beasts in the periphery, from the 1st to 10th level of the Refinement Stage, they are our best training partner!"

Li Yi's eyes brimmed with a spirit of self-confidence. He didn't notice that there were two disciples with malicious intentions following behind the two of them.
