HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 71: Hot Potatoes
Li Yu looked at Murong Xingqiao in surprise. He smiled and nodded, showing her to accept the decision.
Therefore, he bowed and prepared to accept the decision.
The Great Xia Dynasty had a rule that cultivators should not kneel.
Moreover, no one dared to say anything even if an expert like Li Yu did not bow.
Kasim began reading imperial edicts. The opening was laden with praise, meaning appreciating Li Yu for his hard work for the Great Xia Dynasty.
In the end, it finally came to the main topic. “Therefore, I hereby bestow Li Yu the title of patron teacher of the Great Xia Dynasty. The Qingyun Sect was named after the imperial training hall of the Great Xia Dynasty. You will be rewarded with 100,000 gold taels, 50,000 spirit stones, 500 magic artifacts, and 500 pieces of silk. Here it is!”
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!” Li Yu bowed and accepted the imperial edict.
“Cultivator Li, His Majesty has also stated that he will send the best craftsmen to help your sect in its construction. Your sect will be finished within three months with the highest standards of the royal family!” said eunuch with a smile.
“Please send my utmost gratitude to Your Majesty for me!” Li Yu did not refuse. After all, he was indeed in a hurry to establish the sect. Otherwise, these disciples would not even have a place to stay if he recruited them.
The eunuch nodded with a smile and retreated to the side respectfully. At the same time, the crown prince led a dozen men dressed as scholar officials forward.
“I'm glad to see you safe and sound. I believe the danger from the Red Dragon King has been resolved!” Murong Xingqiao smiled.
He was also worried when he heard that the old monster was here to take revenge on the Qingyun Sect.
He only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard from the Taoist Guard that Li Yu had returned by riding on the purple lightning flood dragon.
“Yes, I'm sorry for making you worry, Your Majesty. Everything has been settled smoothly!” Li Yu cupped his hands.
“I've invited over ten scholars from the directorate to help you. There are too many people here. I'm afraid some of you won't be able to finish all your work tonight. Murong Xingqiao added.
"Haha, thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yu was very happy.
Murong Xingqiao was a very meticulous woman. He actually gave her a pillow as she got tired and warmed up her bed when she was cold.
With the help of these scholars to register and complete the admission procedure, their efficiency will surely increase.
After the minor episode on the imperial edict was completed, the recruitment process resumed. Li Yu used the system's student management module function to perform the screening.
Ye Qiu led some scholars to continue the registration.
On Li Yu's side, he immediately announced the admission list from the people who had registered earlier and handed it over to the other scholars to begin the correct admission procedure.
The ordinary ones were instantly accepted as outer sect disciples, whereas the better ones were accepted as inner sect disciples.
With the help of scholars, the efficiency of recruitment has increased severalfold.
The afternoon had just passed, and all the registration work was completed.
The Qingyun Sect had successfully recruited over 1,300 qualified disciples.
More than 200 people had better qualifications, and four of them met the genius talent requirement of the system.
Now, there were only two more people left to complete that recruitment mission.
After the recruitment ended smoothly, Li Yu bid farewell to Murong Xingqiao and the others.
He first rode a flood dragon back to the Qingyun Sect.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu, Ji Qinglan, and the others brought new disciples to board the magical artifact flying boat bestowed by Murong Cang and return to the Qingyun Sect together.
When Li Yu returned to the Qingyun Sect, sect master Yu Hua and elder Taiwu had left.
Wu Chang entered seclusion to refine the Vermilion Bird Grass, while Li Qingyun was measuring the spiritual strength and geomancy of the Nine-Tailed Mountain.
He was preparing to set up the Spirit Gathering Array and the Protective Mountain Array around the Nine-Tailed Mountain.
"Dad, so you know how to set up an array formation?" Li Yu asked with a smile.
“Of course, your father knows! Oh yes, what is the additional reward of your Divine Weapon Rank this time around? I'm curious!" Li Qingyun put down the compass in her hand and looked at Li Yu curiously.
Today, many people in the world are curious about that mysterious extra gift.
Li Qingyun's eyes widened.
It was the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree!
No wonder he had to keep it a secret!
This was a gift that could destroy the entire Eternal Martial World and bring about a fatal disaster for oneself.
The Ancient Dao Fortune Tree was an immortal tree that condensed the spiritual strength of the region and gathered good fortune and blessings.
It could be said that one Ancient Dao Fortune Tree could turn a plot of land into a cultivation wonderland.
In the entire Eternal Martial World, only the strongest Holy Land of the Great Zenith Domain, the Primordial Dao Holy Land, possessed the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree.
It was said that in ancient times, the Patriarch of the Primordial Dao Holy Land brought him back from the Eternal Domain and planted him in the Holy Land.
Especially since that tree was the Primordial Dao Holy Land had existed for hundreds of thousands of years without declining, and its Dao fate was still prosperous to this day.
It nurtured many geniuses and excellences who sought immortality.
It was said that cultivating under the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree for one year was better than in the outside world for ten years. It also helps in understanding the Great Dao.
Therefore, one Ancient Dao Fortune Tree was enough to make everyone in the world and all factions jealous.
Over the years, many people and factions set their sights on the ancient tree in the Primordial Dao Holy Land.
Almost every few hundred years, the Holy Land experiences war.
If not for the fact that the Primordial Dao Holy Land had a strong foundation and the protection of the faction of the immortal domain, it might have long since been destroyed.
This was why the Heavenly Dao kept this additional gift a secret.
Still, the secrets of the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree would sooner or later be revealed. It cannot be kept secret forever.
Therefore, in Li Qingyun's opinion, this was a gift that came with both luck and disaster.
He was happy and worried!
"It will be difficult for our sect to develop poorly now!" Li Qingyun commented with a bitter smile.
"REALLY. We want not to stand out, but heaven does not allow it. With the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree, our sect will definitely become the strongest sect in the world in the future. It would probably be a new Holy Land!” Li Yu smirked.
With such a massive system and cheat, the Heavenly Dao Rank, it was impossible for his sect to fail to take off.
Once I become completely invincible, I will definitely explore the world and admire every sight.
I would eat boiled red dragon meat, boiled Kun in an iron pot, and toast.
And taste the juice of absolute beauty in the Nine Heavens Eternal Realm. Uh, I mean fruit juice!
Hehe, facing the 'sea' with 'blooming.' springs.'
Just as Li Yu let herself loose and daydream, Li Qingyun suddenly patted Li Yu on the shoulder and interrupted solemnly, “Huh, the greater her ability, the greater her responsibility. Kid, the sect will depend on you in the future!”
"Oh!" Li Yu looked at Li Qingyun, feeling that her words seemed to have another meaning.
However, he doesn't care. "Dad, where do you think we should plant it?"
I want to plant it in my heart!
Li Qingyun was slandering, even though this ancient lucky tree was a treasure.
But this thing is also a hot potato!
“Plant only in your garden!” said Li Qingyun.
