Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

272. Chapter 272 Visit Relatives!

Quiet days always pass quickly.

Ever since the news of Liu Zimo injuring Ji Changming with the Qiankun Divine Fire Shield spread, no one dared to provoke or harass Liu Zimo anymore.

Liu Zimo's life returned to its previous routine. He would go to work, read books, and then go to sleep. In his spare time, he would bind a few "good brothers" and "good sisters," making his days quite enjoyable.

There is something worth mentioning. The safety concern that Liu Zimo had been worried about, the Core Formation cultivator who was hiding and monitoring him on the night when Yue Zhixin caused trouble, has not appeared or made any hostile moves.

Up until now, no one suspects that Yue Zhixin's death is related to Liu Zimo, his disciple. Or even if someone does suspect, given Liu Zimo's current relationship with the Guardians, no one dares to directly come and cause trouble for him.

Time passes silently.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Zimo has already spent half a year in the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

Among the true disciples of the Qingyun Five Peaks, he has quietly bound nearly half of them, totaling over a hundred people.

Because of the selfless "contributions" of these hundreds of talented disciples, Liu Zimo receives different opportunities and benefits almost every day. Whether it's spirit stones, treasures, cultivation resources, or cultivation power, he has accumulated a considerable amount.

Now, the number of low-grade spirit stones in his storage treasure has exceeded ten thousand, the number of medium-grade spirit stones has surpassed a thousand, and even the number of high-grade spirit stones has exceeded a hundred.

There are also various other treasures, spiritual weapons, and so on, all in significant quantities. He is like a wealthy landlord.

However, it's a pity.

As a disciple of the Miscellaneous Hall, he cannot reveal his wealth. Moreover, he rarely has the opportunity to go out and buy things, so he can only temporarily store these spirit stones and various resources and treasures in the Dongzhu.

Furthermore.

His cultivation realm has directly soared from the previous Gold Core First Stage to the Gold Core Ninth Stage!

Under normal circumstances, other talented disciples would need at least ten or even fifty years to achieve such progress in their cultivation. But he has effortlessly accomplished it in less than six months.

Moreover, as the number of "good brothers" and "good sisters" he has bound increases, Liu Zimo's speed of breakthroughs also increases day by day.

If we don't consider the bottleneck of cultivation, Liu Zimo estimates that he will successfully break through to the Nascent Soul realm within three months, becoming a Nascent Soul powerhouse like the Guardians.

By then, even if he exposes his cultivation or his past deeds of killing Yue Zhixin, Wu Kai, Tang Dahai, and others are revealed, he will have enough confidence to protect himself and seek survival.

On this day, while Liu Zimo was working as usual, he sat quietly on the third floor of the book depository, holding a jade slip and gently wiping it.

This has become a new habit he developed after finishing reading all the books on the third floor. Using the excuse of wiping the jade slip, he secretly extended his spiritual consciousness to observe the various contents recorded in it.

After all, the Guardian had already said that as an exclusive disciple of the book depository, he could freely read any book in the depository.

Since this jade slip was placed in the book depository, he naturally had the right to play with and observe it.

However, his current identity is that of an ordinary mortal without spiritual consciousness, unable to openly and honestly observe these inherited jade slips like the true disciples. He can only use this wiping and playing method, gradually accumulating knowledge by reading a little bit every day. Over time, he has already secretly read about half of the jade slips on the third floor.

Some secrets stored in the jade slip, as well as some cultivation techniques and experiences, have all been imprinted and stored in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.

You can say it without hesitation.

Liu Zimo's theoretical foundation and knowledge reserve now surpasses the majority of true disciples in the Qingyun Immortal Sect, making him a top student.

"Big Brother Liu, I've come to see you!"

As noon approached, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the third floor of the book pavilion.

The young girl's gaze quickly locked onto Liu Zimo's location, and with a joyful expression on her face, she lightly stepped forward and arrived in front of Liu Zimo in a moment.

Upon hearing the crisp shout in his ear, Liu Zimo, who had already noticed the identity of the person, also raised his head with a smile of joy.

"So it's Sister Yun'er!"

"No, now I should call you Senior Sister Liu Yun!"

Liu Zimo stood up and greeted Liu Yun with a smile.

In the half year since they last met, the little girl had grown about ten centimeters taller, reaching a height of nearly 1.7 meters, giving off a sense of grace and beauty.

It was as if she had suddenly grown overnight, standing tall with delicate features, completely transforming into a beautiful young woman.

And her cultivation level.

She had already broken through to the Core Formation stage, barely reaching the entry standard for true disciples!

Not bad at all. Just half a month after joining the sect, she went from a rookie with no cultivation foundation to breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

With this speed of progress, it was estimated that only Tang Zimo, the chief disciple of the Qingyun Main Peak, could compare.

From this, it could be seen how much the Peak Master Dai Yingyu valued this direct disciple.

Now, Liu Zimo had a broad knowledge of the secrets and rules of some of the hidden parts of the Qingyun Five Peaks.

Normally, new disciples were not qualified to enter the Spirit Water Secret Realm.

But Liu Yun, just after joining, was sent by Dai Yingyu to the Spirit Water Secret Realm for meditation and comprehension, and she stayed there for half a year.

Such treatment was rare in the entire Qingyun Immortal Sect.

"Big Brother Liu, you're joking with me again!"

Liu Yun pouted and gave Liu Zimo a playful look, saying in a sweet voice,

"I don't care how others see it, but in my heart, Big Brother Liu will always be my big brother!"

"If it weren't for Big Brother Liu insisting on taking me to participate in the sect's test, I might still be living a dull life in the Liu family village!"

"And those bad people from the Cui family stronghold, who knows how they would have bullied Grandpa and Brother Sheng!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo smiled and nodded again.

As a newcomer to the sect, Liu Yun had not yet been influenced by the ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere of the sect, and still had attachments to many worldly relationships.

However, in a few more years, it might be hard to say.

Cultivators in the sect pursued transcendence and cutting off worldly ties.

On the path of seeking power and immortality, they would gradually abandon many things.

And the blood and family ties in the mortal world would be the first things they would abandon or forget during their cultivation.

After all, cultivators had long lifespans, and many times, decades or even hundreds of years would pass with just a single cultivation retreat.

By the time they emerged from seclusion, their closest blood relatives in the mortal world might have already passed away, and everything would have changed. Even if they didn't want to abandon them, it would be futile.

"What's wrong, do you miss home?"

When Liu Yun mentioned her grandfather and Ah Sheng, her tone was filled with nostalgia and reluctance. Liu Zimo couldn't help but ask softly, "Yeah, I've been away from home for half a year, and I do miss it a bit."

In front of Liu Zimo, Liu Yun didn't hide anything and nodded directly, saying, "Brother Liu, to be honest, this is the first time I've been away from home and my grandfather for such a long time. I don't know how things are at home now, and whether my grandfather and Ah Sheng can have enough to eat."

Hearing this, Liu Zimo shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, now that you have become a true disciple of the Qingyun Immortal Sect, who would dare to bully the Liu family's village or the old mountain chief?"

"Also, as soon as you passed the test and were brought back to the sect by Elder Zhou, I had already informed the county government of Linjiang."

"As long as the county magistrate is not a fool, he will definitely find a way to take care of the Liu family's village and the old mountain chief!"

Liu Yun nodded vigorously and looked at Liu Zimo with deep gratitude.

Brother Liu is so thoughtful. When she was taken away by Elder Zhou, she was so overwhelmed by the surprise of being chosen by the sect that she completely forgot to beg Elder Zhou to save the villagers in the Liu family's village.

Fortunately, there is Brother Liu, who still thinks about solving her worries after she left.

After thanking Liu Zimo again, Liu Yun whispered to him, "Brother Liu, I have already consulted with my master. I will be returning to my hometown soon. Will you come with me?"

"Speaking of which, I have never asked before, where is Brother Liu's home? Are there any family members at home? Do you want to go back and take a look?"

Liu Zimo's heart couldn't help but stir when he heard this.

This is indeed a good opportunity.

He has already found a method to communicate with the Small Thousand World in the Book Pavilion. It's just right to try it out during the time he goes back to visit his family with Liu Yun.

If he can communicate with the Earth and pass on the relevant cultivation methods in the Transcendent Realm, especially the Qiankun Qi Art of the Ouyang family, if he can pass it on to Xiaofeihong and Xiaoxiao, the two girls.

In the future, when they break through the Ascension and enter the Transcendent Realm, they can save decades or even hundreds of years of cultivation time, just like Ouyang Xinxin!

"Is that... okay?"

Without answering Liu Yun's series of questions just now, Liu Zimo tentatively asked Liu Yun, "I am currently an exclusive disciple of the Book Pavilion. Can I take leave to visit my family?"

This question, rather than asking Liu Yun, is more like asking the hidden guardian in the Book Pavilion.

"Of course you can!"

Liu Yun said naturally, "I asked my master before I came!"

"Even the miscellaneous disciples of the Book Pavilion have the opportunity to go out and visit their families once a year!"

"As long as Brother Liu is willing, I will go to the Miscellaneous Disciple Hall now to ask for leave for Brother Liu!"

"This time, my master specially assigned a senior sister in the Gold Core stage to accompany me down the mountain. We won't encounter any danger!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo smiled and nodded.

Seeing that the guardian in the Book Pavilion still hadn't responded, Liu Zimo couldn't help but feel delighted.

Based on his understanding of the guardian during this period of time, not speaking actually represents consent.

"Sure!" Liu Zimo no longer hesitated and nodded decisively, saying, "However, there's no need for Sister Yun'er to personally make the trip. I'll go to the Miscellaneous Hall later and inform the steward."

"That's great!" Liu Yun clapped her hands happily and said, "Then it's settled. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Oh, by the way, these are some elixirs I brought for Brother Liu. They can strengthen your muscles and increase your lifespan."

"Although Brother Liu doesn't possess spiritual roots, he can still cultivate martial arts. As long as the resources are sufficient, he should be able to quickly reach the peak of Body Refining!"

As she spoke, Liu Yun took out a large pile of various elixirs from her storage treasure and stuffed them all into Liu Zimo's hands.

She knew that Liu Zimo was an ordinary mortal and would never be able to cultivate and become an immortal in this lifetime.

But she still hoped that Liu Zimo could have some self-defense power, at least to live a few more years.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but smile with relief.

Without refusing, he directly extended his hands and collected all the elixirs that Liu Yun handed over into his embrace.

After all, this was the little girl's heartfelt gesture.

Moreover, most of them were general elixirs that could strengthen the body and prolong life. Even if he accepted them, it wouldn't attract envy from others.

"This little girl is good. If there's a chance, I'll give her all the precious treasures I've stored in the Eastern Pearl!"

"With her extraordinary water spiritual roots helping with cultivation, it will definitely be much better than me doing it alone!"

Liu Zimo calculated in his heart.

In the past half year, he had accumulated various cultivation resources in the Eastern Pearl, forming a small mountain. It was time to find someone to digest them.

Liu Yun, who was familiar with him and knew how to repay kindness, was definitely the most suitable candidate.

Moreover, Liu Zimo also wanted to see her firmly establish herself in the Immortal Sect, so that he would have another support in the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

"Alright, it's settled then. I'll come find you early tomorrow morning, and we'll leave the mountain together!"

After bidding farewell to Liu Zimo once again, Liu Yun happily walked out of the book collection pavilion.

From beginning to end, this little girl didn't show any intention of taking a book to read.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Another little fellow who doesn't love reading.

But this wasn't surprising.

After all, Liu Yun grew up in a small mountain valley. From childhood to adulthood, she didn't even have the opportunity to learn how to read. It would be strange if she liked reading.

However, if there was a chance in the future, he would still remind her.

Even if she stepped into the path of immortality and became a Core Formation cultivator, she still needed to recharge herself when she had time, come to the book collection pavilion more often, and read more books and jade slips.

One must know that reading makes one wise and broadens one's horizons.

More importantly, it can increase favorability with the guardian of the books, a Nascent Soul expert.

In case of extraordinary luck, she might receive the favor of the guardian and be bestowed with a Book Pavilion Gold Token. Then, in the Qingyun Immortal Sect, Liu Yun would truly be able to walk with her head held high.

"If you want to go back to visit your family, it's fine, but you need to leave the Book Pavilion Gold Token behind!"

"Okay, just leave it in the Miscellaneous Hall for now. You can continue to receive and wear it when you come back!"

Not long after Liu Yun left, Liu Zimo's ears were filled with the calm and waveless voice of the book guardian reminding him through a sound transmission.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo quickly stood up, bowed to the empty space, and expressed his gratitude. (End of this chapter)
