Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 237 Heaven Rewards Diligence (Please Subscribe, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)

When Shi Yi came out of the examination institute, he already had a certificate proving that he had passed the examination.

His identity token had been changed from that of an elite disciple to that of an elite disciple, and it also had the unique mark of Guyue Peak on it, similar to the identity token that Su Junyou wore at his waist.

After obtaining this identity token, Shi Yi can go to the Internal Affairs Department to receive the relevant benefits for elite disciples.

Just like the sect contribution points, elite disciple attire, free quotas for exchanging cultivation techniques and magic weapons at the Transmission Pavilion for elite disciples, these things add up to quite a lot. The same applies to other people who are promoted to elite disciples.

This is a benefit available to all elite disciples.

Previously in the examination hall, Shi Yi and Feng Mo clashed on the fighting stage. The two fought back and forth for half an incense stick's time, which made the onlookers very excited. It was just a pity that the two fought for too short a time.

After the time for the third practical assessment was up, the two ended their combat exchange.

Shi Yi also passed the third practical test as he wished, completing the elite disciple assessment and promotion, and obtaining the elite disciple identity token at his waist as proof of passing the assessment.

After Shi Yi obtained the elite disciple's identity token, Su Junyou, knowing that Shi Yi would first return to the inner courtyard to rest and then go to Guyue Peak in a couple of days, parted ways with Shi Yi and went directly back to Guyue Peak to report back!

The examination hall is located among various mountain peaks, so it is relatively far from the inner courtyard.

When Shi Yi returned to his inner courtyard, it was already quite late!
He went to Guyue Peak in the morning and waited for quite a while. After that, Gu Qianqiu told him a lot about the points to pay attention to when taking the elite disciple assessment. Then Shi Yi took the elite disciple assessment, which also took a lot of time. Finally, there was the time spent on the road.

This is assuming everything goes smoothly for Shi Yi. If something goes wrong along the way, it will take longer.

"Now that I have successfully advanced to the rank of elite disciple, I can move now."

"As for the items that the elite disciples are to receive, I'll collect them after I move to Guyue Peak."

Shi Yi came to the courtyard and looked at the place where he had lived ever since he joined the Taiyi Sect.

This place is nice; it meets his requirements in every way. However, by now, he's starting to fall behind!
After his cultivation of Daoist arts broke through to the Yuan Dan realm, the cultivation effect in the courtyard was relatively average for him, and could not compare to the cultivation environment on Gu Yue Peak.

Furthermore, after being promoted to an elite disciple, one cannot remain in the inner courtyard but must go to a mountain peak to cultivate. The residence here will be reassigned to someone else when one leaves.

Previously, after Shi Yi achieved a top-ten ranking in the Inner Court, he could have changed to a residence that was also among the top ten in the Inner Court, but Shi Yi felt it was unnecessary and did not change. However, now it is time to change residences!

Since Shi Yi came to the Central World, he has changed his residence every once in a while, and he has gotten used to it!
This time, the location of my new place of residence hasn't changed that much compared to before.

Previously, this distance was between a town and a county seat.

"I'll pack my things in the next couple of days and take everything I need with me."

"Those things that cannot be revealed, all of them are thrown into the Bodhi Seed Space, and can be taken out again when needed."

Some of the items in Shi Yi's room were brought from Blue Star and are different from those in the Central Great World. Therefore, Shi Yi is careful when using these items and tries not to use them in front of others.

The same applies now. When Shi Yi moves, he doesn't plan to take these things out, but instead hides them in the Bodhi Seed Space.

We'll put those items away after he's settled down on Guyue Peak.

However, once he enters Ancient Moon Peak, the situation will probably be a bit different from that in the inner courtyard!

When he became an inner disciple, he came into contact with quite a few people, but because of his personality and his knowledge of the inner courtyard, Shi Yi had relatively few contacts. He knew that there was no need to waste time on too many contacts.

Therefore, basically no one in the inner courtyard can enter his courtyard. However, things may change after he becomes an elite disciple.

Just like Su Junyou and others, their identities are not simple. It will naturally take him some time to befriend such people, and he may go to their new residence at that time.

In addition, there is Gu Qianqiu, and even Gu Qianqiu's disciples.

Shi Yi progressed quickly on the path of cultivation. When he was not so strong, he could perhaps ignore the people on the road. However, as he joined the sect and came into contact with the sect's higher-ups, he could not avoid becoming friends with people associated with them.

Furthermore, Shi Yi was well aware that to obtain the precious cultivation resources within the sect, one needed to make contact with more high-level members.

These people may not support him, but they cannot become stumbling blocks on his path to acquiring cultivation resources.

After all, some people may not be able to help you succeed, but they are excellent at causing trouble. If you can't get the cultivation resources you want, it will delay your cultivation progress, which is something Shi Yi doesn't want to see.

Shi Yi now also needs to consider this situation.

The more precious the cultivation resource, the more people it can influence when it is distributed.

“My cultivation of Dao has reached the Yuan Dan level, and my progress in cultivation is now starting to slow down.”

"If I were to cultivate under normal circumstances, it would probably take me about a year to accumulate enough experience to break through to the Golden Core Perfection realm before I could attempt to break through to the Dharma Aspect realm."

"Compared to others, this progress in cultivation is already quite fast, but compared to my previous progress, it is still a bit slow."

"If I want to speed up my cultivation, then the only way is to enter various secret realms, the caves of predecessors, the ruins of sects, and so on to obtain opportunities."

"However, there is a certain degree of danger in entering these places."

"Furthermore, to enter these places, you need to obtain a quota; it's not something you can just do whenever you want."

Shi Yi pondered his next steps in his cultivation.

During the time he was in seclusion breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm, his cultivation improved, and he also gained a clearer understanding of his own cultivation progress.

Therefore, I have a general understanding of when I want to make a breakthrough.

When he breaks through the bottleneck, he doesn't know how long it will take. Otherwise, he could have pinpointed the time to the next major realm!
After gaining a clear understanding of his own cultivation progress, Shi Yi naturally made more detailed arrangements.

"In the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, items like the thousand-year-old fire lotus underground can also help with cultivation at the Yuan Dan realm. After I cultivate a few more Dao techniques and improve my combat power, I can go into the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm to take a look."

"The Earth Flame Serpent in the Earth Core Pool is quite powerful, but my current combat strength is not bad either, at least I can put up a fight."

"If we could kill the Earth Flame Serpent, that would be even better!"

"The physical body of the Earth Flame Serpent is of great help to martial arts cultivation. It will definitely help me complete the bone tempering faster and achieve the unity of the Great and Small Heavenly Circuits as soon as possible."

"While achieving the unification of the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits requires some insight, it also demands precious cultivation resources to complete the ultimate tempering of the bones."

Such places as secret realms, which are full of opportunities, are not easily entered.

For Shi Yi at this time, the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm was a backup option.

The only uncertainty was what dangers remained hidden within the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm after its closure, a point Shi Yi needed to consider most. Shi Yi wanted to accelerate his cultivation, but if the secret realm threatened his life, he would abandon it!

As for the secret realms controlled by the Taiyi Sect, as far as he knew, they would not be reopened in the short term.

Furthermore, even if a secret realm opens, it won't be easy for Shi Yi to obtain a spot to enter it.

There are many disciples in Guyue Peak who want to enter the secret realm, but there are only so many slots available on Guyue Peak.

Shi Yi had already secured a spot in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, so he couldn't expect to get a second one in the sect-controlled secret realm anytime soon.

Unless there are secret realms outside the sect or cave dwellings of predecessors, there is still a chance. Even so, he needs to take the initiative to fight for it.

Because these places are uncertain and may harbor other dangers, even so, there will be many people competing for them. However, the restrictions on this competition are less, as it does not conflict with the resources controlled within the sect.

In contrast, the secret realms controlled by sects are relatively safe, hence the competition is more intense.

It's like some people give money directly, while others pay you after you've done the work; the nature of the two is different.

Previously, in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, apart from Qu Sheng who had ulterior motives and plotted against Hua Yingyi, causing Hua Yingyi's death in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, all the other people who entered the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm left alive.

Although some people were injured, the impact was not significant, as the gains from the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm were enough to compensate for it.

This is especially true for those who have reaped significant benefits.

"I haven't started my practice for today yet, so I'll continue practicing for the rest of the time."

"On the path of spiritual practice, one must accumulate knowledge day by day to achieve something."

After glancing at the sky, Shi Yi began his cultivation for the day.

Cultivation is a process of accumulation over time. Even though Shi Yi is busy, he still makes time for his daily cultivation.

I never miss my daily practice whenever I have time.

He has a high talent for cultivation, but he still believes that hard work pays off, since cultivation cannot be achieved overnight.

Ancient Moon Peak.

Shi Yi looked at his new residence and felt very satisfied.

His residence was located in the middle of Guyue Peak, not at the very bottom.

It was obvious that the stewards at Guyue Peak knew his identity when they arranged his accommodations.

With Gu Qianqiu, the peak master of Guyue Peak, around, his accommodations as Gu Qianqiu's official disciple would naturally be quite comfortable, as it was also a matter of Gu Qianqiu's reputation.

Making things difficult for Shi Yi would be disrespectful to Peak Master Gu Qianqiu.

Those of them, who are deacons of Guyue Peak, are asking for trouble by doing this.

Shi Yi's new residence is very large, more than three times the size of his previous inner courtyard residence. The array set up on it is also more ingenious. Just by getting close, one can feel that the courtyard is not simple, because the items set up on it are not ordinary. And now this will be Shi Yi's residence.

The steward who brought him to his lodgings told him that the courtyards nearby were the residences of his senior brothers and sisters, who were all disciples of Gu Qianqiu.

Of course, this is only for elite disciples. If their status is promoted, their residence will be even higher up.

This is also why Shi Yi's accommodation was arranged here.

This made Shi Yi's heart stir, but he did not choose to rush over to greet him.

Gu Qianqiu has already told him that his apprenticeship ceremony will be arranged next, and he will be introduced to his senior brothers and sisters at the time.

In fact, Shi Yi had inquired about these people and knew roughly about them.

Gu Qianqiu had fifteen formal disciples, both men and women. Some of them became Gu Qianqiu's disciples at a young age, while others became his disciples relatively later.

Of these fifteen disciples, some have already perished. There are actually not many disciples left to cultivate on Ancient Moon Peak now, as some have gone to do external missions for the sect!
When one's cultivation reaches the Yuan Dan level or even higher, simply engaging in arduous practice will not be very effective. Only by traveling outside, seizing opportunities, and gaining insights into cultivation can one progress more quickly.

Especially for those who have hit a bottleneck, simply going into seclusion won't be very effective. At this time, they need to go down the mountain to change their mood, and take the opportunity to do some external tasks to earn sect contribution points and obtain more valuable cultivation resources.

Although there are some ascetics, there aren't that many of them.

After escorting Shi Yi to his residence, the steward also left!
“It’s really nice here.”

Shi Yi walked into the courtyard and then picked up his new identity token.

With a slight thought, he activated the array in the courtyard.

Before sending him over, the steward had first helped him lock his residence on his identity token and activated the door-to-door array connection, among other steps.

It wasn't that the steward possessed strong array-setting abilities, but rather that these effects were already prepared when the elite disciples' identity tokens were made. The steward simply made some simple connections to bind Shi Yi's identity token to his residence.

Previously, when Shi Yi entered the courtyard, he used his identity token to control the array in the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, the deacon took his leave.

Although under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems with the identity token controlling the residence, sometimes unexpected things can happen, which is why the other party came specifically for this purpose.

Of course, this is also related to Shi Yi's identity. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary elite disciple, he would have to discover the problem and then go to them for help.

When it came to Shi Yi, the other party was very proactive and had a very friendly attitude.

"I'll be living here for a long time to come!"

"First, familiarize yourself with the environment here and check the layout clearly."

Shi Yi walked around the courtyard, examining the area carefully.

While he was getting a clear picture of the situation, he also checked if anyone else had left anything behind, such as a formation or array.

He has some secrets he doesn't want others to find out about them.
