I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 966 Goodbye
Now that Li Ming has become the leader of the ten true disciples, not to mention the rewards from the sect, he has received a large basket of gifts. When he returned to the mansion, Song Yue handed him a thick stack of gift lists with a smile.

"Brother, you are truly amazing. Now everyone knows that you have achieved first-grade elixir in just three years. You are now the head of the true disciples of the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect. You are the envy of others!"

Li Ming shook his head and smiled, took the gift list, glanced at the name list, but a trace of vigilance emerged in his heart.

When he first became Luo Zhen's disciple, he hid his cultivation level because he knew that there were many people who had reached the Dan stage. It was not a big deal in the past because he was not well-known. However, if these things were to be spread out, it might become a problem. He had to find a way to solve it.

In addition to the gift list, there are countless invitations to banquets large and small. If it weren't for the fact that Elder Luo Zhen has come out of seclusion, the number would be three or four times higher.

But he rejected them all and chose only one, not for any other reason, but simply because the post was sent by Elder Chang himself, and it stated that he must go.

Elder Chang is also one of the dozen or so Yuanshen elders in the sect, but he is often not in the sect and has no real power.

Among these invitations, her status was the highest. Moreover, Li Ming had inquired about the situation of Elder Chang and had some guesses in his mind, so he went to the banquet.

In addition, there were many visiting cards from disciples who wanted to come and pay him a visit.

How could he not know that these disciples wanted to get close to him, the big tree? However, Li Ming had lofty ambitions and had always disdained to form cliques for personal gain. Moreover, those who came now were probably opportunists, which made Li Ming even more unhappy.

Not to mention them, even the maids and strongmen in his own mansion had dispersed, and who knew how many of the remaining ones were useful. Only Songyue really caught Li Ming's eye. Then Li Ming dismissed everyone and kept Songyue. He smiled and said, "Junior brother, you will be with me one day. I insisted on practicing in the Magnetic Peak, but you have been supporting the Jade True Mansion for me for a long time. I know what you have experienced in the sect. Now that I have returned, I will naturally treat you well. When I am done with this busy period, I will go and choose a technique for you."

After hearing this, Song Yue hurriedly bowed and felt that all the contempt he had endured during this period of time was worth it.

Li Ming couldn't help but smile at his expression and said softly, "Now that I've returned, I'll be leaving Yuzhen Mansion soon to cultivate at the Chosen Spiritual Peak. You'll stay here for three years. If you find anyone useful, stay. If they don't have other interests here, I'll give them some money, return their indentures, and dismiss them. Let them be free."

Song Yue was shocked. Everything else was fine, but returning the indenture was a huge favor. Strictly speaking, these maids and strongmen were all slaves of the sect. To put it nicely, they were just servants, but in reality, they could not even control their life and death.

Now returning the indenture means regaining freedom, which is naturally a huge benefit. Just for this matter, it is worth it even if it takes another ten three-year periods.

Song Yue thought for a moment and nodded, "During the days that Senior Brother was away, people in the mansion were in turmoil. There were also some people I couldn't bear to see, so I sent them away. The rest are mostly useful. Senior Brother, just leave this matter to me, and you can rest assured."

"I am confident in your work. These old people have all been tested and can be entrusted with important tasks in the future. You can arrange it as appropriate." Li Ming nodded lightly without giving any further instructions. He believed that with Songyue's intelligence, he should understand what he meant.

While the two were talking, a maid suddenly knocked on the door. After Li Ming called out "Come in", she walked in respectfully.

"Master, there is a female cultivator visiting from outside. She calls herself Qingyao and is an old friend of yours. I wonder if you would like to see her."

Li Ming pondered for a moment, then came up with a plan. He immediately said, "Let's meet. You go and make the arrangements."

Li Ming gave Songyue a few more words of advice before getting up and heading to the reception room. Qingyao, who was sitting quietly at the moment, quickly stood up when she saw Li Ming approaching. Although she had already met Li Ming before, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. Compared to three years ago, Li Ming's temperament was even more otherworldly, like a god.

She was not optimistic about Li Ming that day, but the result was beyond her expectations. After being amazed, she felt a sincere admiration, as well as an indescribable emotion, and a hint of lust arose in her heart.

At this time Li Ming spoke. He knew that this woman could manage the Chamber of Commerce in an orderly manner. She was a delicate and skillful person who was good at networking and had some magic tricks. He coughed lightly.

This startled Qingyao so much that she seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and she quickly bowed to Li Ming.

"When I first met you, I felt you were a true brilliance. Later, you became Luo Zhen's disciple, and now you've become the head of his disciples. I'm truly humbled."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Your fellow Daoist has also succeeded in achieving the Jindan stage. You and I are both Jindan True Immortals now. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that I was busy cultivating and was unable to congratulate you."

Qingyao waved her hands quickly and said, "Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about? I have heard about your request to enter the Magnetic Peak. I have only achieved a sixth-grade elixir. What is there to celebrate? It is far inferior to you who have achieved a first-grade elixir. You have a bright future and can even hope to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future!"

Qingyao was deeply moved by these words. As she spoke, she pulled out a wooden box from her sleeve. Li Ming took a closer look and shook his head, saying, "Why should we be so polite to each other? I think we should just give up."

Qingyao said hurriedly, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be in a hurry to refuse. Why don't you take a look at the contents of this box first to see if it is what you need?"

Seeing Qingyao say this, Li Ming was really interested, so he smiled and said, "I have never valued material possessions, but since it is a kind gift from fellow Taoist, I will take a look."

After saying that, Li Ming took the box, flicked it gently, and the box opened. Inside was a jade bottle with a green light. Although the bottle cap had not been opened yet, Li Ming's extraordinary spiritual perception had already sensed an extremely condensed spiritual aura, and he immediately showed a bit of surprise and doubt.

"This is this"

Qingyao smiled and said, "Daoyou, you might as well take a closer look."

This Tianyi Yulu is very precious, and most people may not be able to recognize it. Even Li Ming looked at it carefully several times before speaking uncertainly.

"Could this be the legendary Tianyi Jade Dew?"

Qingyao nodded and said, "You have good eyesight, fellow Daoist. It is indeed Tianyi Jade Dew. I only got this bottle by chance. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with my cultivation method. However, I heard that you were cultivating the Five Elements Divine Light, so I specially brought it to you as a gift."

Li Ming smiled slightly, closed the wooden box, and nodded, saying, "This item is indeed of great use to me, so I will shamelessly accept it. If there is any need for me in the future, Sister Qingyao, just let me know."
