Chapter 489: Chapter 256: Golden Core Ceremony_2
With this jade card, one could control all the formations of the Yun Yi Lineage. With just a thought, they could be activated or deactivated.

After the meeting ended and seeing the retreating figures of Hua Yang Zhen Ren and Wan Jun Zen Ren, Lin Yi couldn’t help but wave towards them, calling out, “Hua Yang Brother, please wait a moment.”

Hua Yang Zhen Ren slowly turned around, his expression as calm as water, he looked at Lin Yi, “Yun Yi Brother, is there something you need?” He had an inkling that asking this young man to wait might lead to some unpleasant matter.

Lin Yi coughed a bit, “Ahem, just a minor issue. I didn’t plan on mentioning it, but your grandson, Hua Tian Ji, still owes me 700,000 spirit stones. I was wondering if he is still alive. If so, could you remind him to repay his debt? If he unfortunately perished, could you settle the debt on his behalf?”

Hua Yang Zhen Ren’s countenance darkened. His grandson owed a debt of several tens of thousands of spirit stones to Lin Yi. He asked, “May I see promissory notes?”

“Of course.” Lin Yi produced the note from his storage bag and with a nonchalant flick, it flew towards Hua Yang Zhen Ren.

He was not worried that Hua Yang Zhen Ren would destroy the note and deny the debt. A man of Golden Core Realm wouldn’t be unscrupulous to such a degree.

In the past, when he had not publicly disclosed his Golden Core status, he was too lazy to collect the debt. Hua Tian Ji seemed to have forgotten about the debt; at the time when he borrowed it, he had yet to achieve the Golden Core. Now he was nearing the Nascent Soul stage.

A hundred years had passed and that youngster never mentioned repaying his debt. Now that he had shown his Golden Core Realm, it was time to take back the spirit stones owed.

After examining the promissory note and recognizing his grandson’s familiar aura along with his personal signature and divine sense mark, Hua Yang Zhen Ren realized this was genuine.

Only, there were no details. Just the debt mentioned and no reason. He looked at Lin Yi and returned the note back to him, “Very well, I will go back and ask that boy about it. If indeed, he owes you 700,000 spirit stones, I will send it to you tomorrow.”

He naturally wouldn’t simply hand over the money after seeing the promissory note and without asking his rascal of a grandson what precisely transpired between him and Lin Yi.

“Alright, I appreciate your help,” Lin Yi nodded. After all, it was about 700,000 spirit stones, it was only proper to handle it seriously.

The next day, he received the 700,000 spirit stones sent over by a disciple of Hua Yang Zhen Ren’s sect. He returned the promissory note. He had heard that after Hua Yang Zhen Ren returned yesterday, some disciples from Hua Yang Peak seemed to have heard screams. Perhaps young Hua Tian Ji had gotten a beating.

Over the next month, next to Golden Sword Peak Ferry Platform, applications to join the Yun Yi Lineage from disciples from all peaks of Liu Yun Sect were piling up. The applications were all written by hand, introducing themselves, their cultivation realm, spirit root grade, five-element attributes, the cultivation techniques they were good at and their preferred spells, and so on.

Outer sect disciples could only move about the vicinity of Golden Sword Plaza and could not enter the cave mansion area.

Many disciples who had yet to take a master from the Golden Core lineage wanted to join the Yun Yi Lineage. The biggest attraction was that most disciples taught by Lin Yi would become intelligent and their comprehension would increase.

Another reason was the resources of the Yun Yi Lineage would definitely be abundant. Although Lin Yi was a newly advanced Golden Core nevertheless had a lower-grade spirit root, Yun Yi Zen Ren, Gold Sword Zen Ren, Jing Yun and Phoenix Jade, all those of the Zen Ren grade, had a very close relationship and would definitely help him.

As for these applications, Lin Yi asked the staff of the Affairs Hall to collect them. He did not go through them himself. He was only going to take a few disciples, not accepting them in large batches, and only accepted those with kindness in their hearts, people worth fostering.

Just like his predecessor, facing such a tragedy but not going mad or turning to the heretic path, this kind of unyielding tenacity was not something everyone had.

As the invitations for the Liu Yun Sect’s Golden Core ceremony were sent out Lin Yi’s successful achievement of Golden Core Realm spread throughout the Heng Yuan Cultivation World.

Upon receiving the invitation, all the Golden Core Real Persons of various sects were shocked. None of them would have thought that merely after five years, another disciple from the Liu Yun Sect had succeeded in achieving the Golden Core Realm.

Counting Zhou Yun Feng from decades ago, this marked the third disciple within a hundred years to achieve the Golden Core Realm.

After the fall of the Master of Bi Hai, the Liu Yun Sect was left with only ten holding the Golden Core. Now, they had thirteen – it was almost impossible to believe.

Furthermore, through memories, the Golden Core cultivators from various sects learned that Lin Yi was the disciple who held the secret realm instruction course, rumored to have lower-grade spiritual roots, yet achieved the Golden Core before the age of two hundred.

This revelation astonished them greatly. Among the Golden Core cultivators of various sects, hardly any had lower-grade spiritual roots. In the past, there were only two or three who managed to reach this state, and they only succeeded at the end of their lifespan, leaving them with only two hundred and fifty years of life and no chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

To achieve the Golden Core before the age of two hundred was challenging even for cultivators with top-grade and supreme-grade spirit roots undergoing foundation building. It was even more so for those with lower-grade spiritual roots – one might even say it was a miracle.

None of them doubted Lin Yi’s achievement. If the Liu Yun Sect intended to deceive, they would have chosen someone with supreme-grade spiritual roots. Moreover, the authenticity of the ceremony was obvious at a glance.

Currently, there was no facade technique that could fake the Golden Core Realm without being seen through by other cultivators of the same realm.

Cultivators from various sects who had entered the secret realm with Lin Yi were shocked to their core upon hearing the news. At the time of their entry, Lin Yi was the most mediocre among them, with a cultivation level of only the eighth stage of Qi Refinement.

Now, more than a hundred years later, he had achieved the Golden Core. It was truly inconceivable.

Upon hearing the news, Song Qing Yin from Double Joy Immortal Sect stood frozen in her spot. The Liu Yun Sect disciple who entered the secret realm with her had actually achieved the Golden Core.

Even the heretic sects couldn’t help but recall the information about this disciple after hearing about Lin Yi’s achievement, filling them with shock. It was hard to believe that a cultivator with lower-grade spirit roots could reach the Golden Core before their two-hundredth birthday.

The Golden Core cultivators of the Xuan Yin Sect wore grim expressions, looking as if they were possessed by evil spirits. They had previously conspired against this man but were foiled by the arrival of Golden Sword Zen Ren.

Unexpectedly, the man they had targeted had achieved his Golden Core. Their previous suspicions must have been correct – there was definitely some secret about this young man.

Regrettably, now that he had achieved the Golden Core, it would be incredibly difficult for them to make a move.

Meanwhile, in Qing Yun City, cultivators who had interacted with Lin Yi all boasted about their encounters. Some claimed they had fought with Yun Yi Zen Ren on the arena, while others claimed they had moved corpses with him.

One of the women at the Flower Moon Place went around claiming that Yun Yi Zen Ren had favored her, which was promptly laughed at. A Qi refining middle-stage female disciple like her wouldn’t have even reached a hundred twenty-five years old while Yun Yi Zen Ren would have spent more time in seclusion in the inner sect.

The next day, this female disciple was fined a Spirit Stone by the Qing Yun City Law Hall and expelled from the city. A stern warning was given that anyone who dared to tarnish Yun Yi Zen Ren’s reputation would be severely punished.

A month later, the Golden Core Ceremony officially began. The righteous sects amongst the Ten Major Sects, as well as the Double Joy Immortal Sect, were all invited. Golden Core cultivators were sent as representatives, including some from medium-sized sects, and the only Golden Core Sect Leader in their respective sects made personal appearances to congratulate Lin Yi.

Under the watchful gaze of cultivators from various sects, wearing the robes of the Yun Yi Lineage, Lin Yi descended from the sky. It was a robe that he had personally designed: a white outfit adorned with cloud patterns that seemed to move fluidly with the wind, giving an elegant and ethereal vibe.

On landing, he bowed his fists towards the crowd, “Yun Yi pays respect to all fellow Daoists.”

“Greetings, Daoist Yun Yi, congratulations on your Golden Core achievement, with hopes for achieving Nascent Soul soon.” A multitude of Golden Core cultivators returned the greeting, congratulating Lin Yi on his Golden Core achievement.

At that moment, a glint could be seen in their eyes, as they sensed Lin Yi’s Golden Core cultivation level. It was something that could not be faked. They wondered what kind of fortuitous event this young man had encountered. It was truly unbelievable that a cultivator with lower-grade spiritual roots had genuinely achieved the Golden Core.
