The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

They entered the courtyard of the Sinong Palace and Zhou Yun Feng slowly descended. The green flying sword disappeared in a flash. He brought Lin Yi to a hall and took a seat at the head of it, pointing to the chair below and saying, “Please, sit down. Make yourself at home.”

“Thank you, Hall Master”, Lin Yi didn’t refuse. After bowing with a fist gesture in appreciation, he seated himself on the chair below.

Next, Zhou Yun Feng poured two cups of tea on the side table. With a light wave of his hand, the teacups flew towards Lin Yi, “This is Yun Feng tea that I brewed in my spare time, please try it out.”

Lin Yi took the teacup and sniffed the fragrance. The aroma was refreshing, invigorating him instantly. The tea was light green in color and looked very natural.

Although he knew Zhou Yun Feng would not harm him, he still put on the title of [Fearless of Poison], and through its poison detection effect, determined that there was no poison in it.

Then, he took a soft sip. Initially, there was a bland taste, and then a sweet flavor slowly bloomed in his mouth, filled with a sense of etherealness.

After drinking it up, he felt refreshed, as if all his fatigue had been removed. The slight residual toxicity from the pills he had taken previously also disappeared under the effect of the tea soup.

“Amazing tea, with an ethereal sweetness that has a detoxifying effect.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but praise. Back on Earth, he was a regular tea drinker, having tried numerous types of tea. Of course, he only drank those of high quality.

Without mentioning the Yun Feng tea, even the Cloud Clear Tea from the teahouse, if brought to Earth, would be considered divine tea.

“Seeing the way you taste the tea, I can tell you’re a tea lover.” Zhou Yun Feng said with a smile, and another teapot flew over, pouring another cup for Lin Yi.

Then, looking at Lin Yi, he slowly said, “Perhaps you think the reward this time is quite unexpected, but you deserve it.”

“My master, Gold Sword Zen Ren, already knows about your contributions. Your Supreme-grade Symbol played a significant role in the war against the Xuan Yin Sect, and the Sound Transmission Talisman you gave me earlier helped Liu Yun Sect avoid chaos caused by evil spirits.”

“Therefore, it is still a bit short to reward you as an Inner Sect Disciple with the opportunity of this Spiritual Field reward. But rest assured, apart from my master, no one else will know about these two matters.”

Lin Yi put down his teacup, stood up and bowed with his fists, “Thank you, Gold Sword Zen Ren, thank you, Master Zhou. I appreciate it very much and I am already content.”

Zhou Yun Feng waved his hand lightly with a smile, “No need to be polite, this is due to your natural talent in farming, without which, we wouldn’t even be able to find a reason to reward you.”

After saying this, he paused a moment and continued, “Also, my junior brother Li Yuan Qing once intervened for you. Your Supreme-grade Symbol helped him greatly in the battlefield and he received a generous reward from the sect. So this favor is canceled, you can enter the Inner Sect for cultivation without any concerns.”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that the favor he owed Li Yuan Qing could be waived this way. He was previously worried about how he could survive better in the Secret Realm.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yi asked, “Master Zhou, does Senior

Brother Li Yuan Qing know about this?”

Zhou Yun Feng gave a gentle laugh, “Don’t worry, he agreed to it. Your admission qualification as an Inner Sect Disciple has been handed over to the Sect Affairs Hall. You can go to the Outer Sect Affairs Hall to change your

Identity Plaque at any time.”

“Then, go to the Inner Sect Affairs Hall to leave a Soul Mark, select a cave mansion residence. Once these are done, you will have the status of an Inner Sect Disciple.”

He then took out a painting scroll, unfolded it in mid-air, and a map of various peaks, seemingly the map of Liu Yun Sect, was shown on it.

“There are eleven Golden Core Real Persons in the Inner Sect of Liu Yun Sect, divided into eleven peaks. My master, Gold Sword Zen Ren, belongs to the

Golden Sword Peak, Drunken Immortal is in charge of Wine Immortal Peak…”

“Upon entering the Inner Sect, everyone has to choose one peak to join and become a disciple of that peak. Subsequently, one may choose a mentor based on opportunities or simply practice freely if not inclined to do so.”

“However, some peaks where Golden Core Real Persons reside do not allow disciple initiation without invitation. Do you have a preferred Golden Core Real Person?”

Lin Yi gave a bow, expressing the obvious choice, “As a disciple, I was able to enter the Inner Sect due to the Hall Master’s reward. Naturally, I would wish to join the Golden Sword Peak. However, I fear that my cultivation level may not be sufficient and could tarnish the reputation of the Golden Sword Peak.”

He had previously gained a general understanding of the Inner Sect, although not in great detail. The Golden Sword Peak was indeed one of those that did not actively accept new disciples.

Zhou Yun Feng burst into hearty laughter, “Hahaha, with your extraordinary talent in farming, we at the Golden Sword Peak would gladly welcome you. After joining the peak, although there will be a fixed amount of cultivation resources given monthly, it isn’t much.”

“You are free to choose any job to earn resources. If you still wish to farm, I will assign you some top-grade Spiritual Fields.”

Upon hearing Zhou Yun Feng’s words, Lin Yi chuckled inwardly. Indeed, even as Inner Sect Disciple, the resources were not fully sufficient. This was within his expectations. Unless one’s spiritual root was excellent for cultivation, endless resources would be unlikely.

Before he could respond, Zhou Yun Feng waved his hand and said, “There’s no need for you to decide now. You can make your decision after you join the Inner Sect.”

He then took out a small golden sword-shaped Jade Badge, “Since you have joined the Golden Sword Peak, go to the Sect Affairs Hall located at the Golden Sword Peak and leave your Soul Mark. This is your token.”

“Disciple thanks Hall Master Zhou.” Lin Yi immediately received the Jade Badge and bowed once again.

At this moment, Zhou Yun Feng teased with a smile on his face, “Now that you are a part of Golden Sword Peak, you should start addressing me as uncle master. Earlier, Disciple Yuan Qing told me that there was an Outer Sect Disciple who often addressed him as ‘Senior Brother’, which he found amusing.”

“Strive to achieve Foundation Establishment, then you can continue calling Yuan Qing as ‘Senior Brother’.”

“Cough, cough, my apologies for the amusement, uncle master. Disciple will take his leave now.” Lin Yi coughed awkwardly. Before accepting a master, one can indeed call those in the Foundation Establishment stage as ‘Senior Brother,’ but this was rarely done by Outer Sect Disciples. He had been rather bold at the time.

Walking out of the Sinong Palace, those outside who were discussing the notice board quieted down instantaneously. Everyone turned their gaze towards Lin Yi and congratulated him again.

After expressing his gratitude, Lin Yi left the Outer Sect Sinong Hall with Old

Huang, “Did Master Zhou call you in for the reward matters, Little Lin?”

“Yes, Old Huang, there’s no need to call me Little Lin anymore, you should be addressing me as senior brother now.” Lin Yi laughed as he took out the Golden Sword Jade Badge. Unlike the Yellow Dragon Jade on Earth, this seemed to be authentic golden jade. It emanated a warm feeling when held, and there was a luminescent glow in the interior.

“Golden Sword, you’ve really joined the Golden Sword Peak. Congratulations, senior brother Lin. Can I have a look at it?” Seeing the Golden Sword, Old Huang also exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yi handed the golden sword over to Old Huang while the image of Zhou Yun Feng’s tranquil demeanor emerged in his mind. Indeed, he was worthy of being the respected senior brother of the Golden Sword. His demeanor was soothing, like a spring breeze.

Joining the Inner Sect, and also managing to free himself from Li Yuan Qing’s favor, Lin Yi felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from his heart. His reverence for uncle master increased even more.

“Little Lin, when do you plan to enter the Inner Sect?” After playing with the Golden Sword for a little while, Old Huang handed it back and asked this question.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then replied, “Probably in a few days. I will first exchange for the identity token of Inner Sect Disciple. Old Huang, what about you? What reward do you plan to choose?”

“With my Qi Refinement Level Four, I won’t hold high hopes for the promotion to the position of Deacon. So, I choose to continue farming.” Old Huang immediately made his decision.

“That’s not a bad idea. I’ll often come to drink with you.” Lin Yi nodded.

Compared to the Deputy Assistant position, farming was more liberating. For

Old Huang, who had been a Spirit Farmer for decades, this would also be less taxing.

Old Huang gave a hearty laugh and patted Lin Yi’s shoulder, “Hahaha, you better concentrate on your cultivation, strive to achieve Foundation Establishment soon. Then, I can brag about having a friend who is a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage..”
