Junior sister, I really need to control you

After a full three breaths of silence in the main hall, Elder Qin was the first to speak.

“Yes…” She stared intently at Li Yinsheng, “Li… Junior Brother’s talent was something I had never heard of before.”

It's not that her family hasn't had members who were over twenty years old and held the title of True Person, but they all relied on divine veins, which are of a higher grade than primordial veins.

Behind her, Shangguan Ling'er gripped the back of her master's throne tightly with both hands, but her pretty face was blank.

They didn't seem to have realized what had happened yet.

Li Yinsheng was still a little uncomfortable when Aunt Qin called him "junior brother".

If he were now Aunt Qin's junior brother, how would his seniority be determined with Miss Shangguan's? He was somewhat lost in thought.

As Elder Qin spoke, the other elders followed suit.

After all, they were people who had experienced great storms. After their initial loss of composure, everyone accepted the fact that Li Yinsheng was now a "True Man" (a title bestowed by imperial decree).

Then they all congratulated him and offered their best wishes.

After all, even disregarding his age, simply achieving the title of "True Man" is already a cause for great celebration.

Generally speaking, unless one is a reclusive cultivator who prefers to keep a low profile, any cultivator who achieves the title of "True Person" will hold a grand banquet to announce it to all.

Amid the elders' rounds of congratulations, the Sixth Elder looked at the robes on Li Yinsheng's body, and a thought struck him. He took out a Taoist robe that shone with precious light from his Qiankun bag.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Li, now that you have achieved the Dharma Aspect, how can you wear such ordinary Dharma robes?"

"Come, come, senior brother, I have a dark crimson robe here. Its protective effect is no less than that of a defensive magic weapon."

"This will serve as a congratulatory gift for Junior Brother Li's achievement of his imperial title!"

As he spoke, the Sixth Elder raised his hand and waved, and the crimson robe flew to Li Yinsheng and unfolded.

Unlike the black robe with silver threads he wore, the Xuanxun robe, though also black, had crimson patterns on it, and an ancient ochre jade pendant was attached to his waist.

"This item is valuable..."

As soon as Li Yinsheng opened his mouth, the Grand Elder waved his hand.

"Hey, Junior Brother Li, please accept this. This item is indeed very valuable, but since you have achieved the title of Imperial Decree, it is customary for us to send you some congratulatory gifts."

The Sixth Elder also said, "Yes, Junior Brother Li, accept it. Besides, this robe is quite valuable for ordinary cultivators, but for us True Persons, it's not considered very precious."

"Yinsheng, please accept this. As is customary, we all have gifts for you. When I condensed my Dharma form, I also received gifts from my fellow disciples," Elder Qin said.

"When a younger generation achieves an imperial title in the future, you will also need to send a congratulatory gift, so there is no need to refuse now."

Li Yinsheng bowed to the Sixth Elder to express his gratitude and accepted the Xuanxun Dharma Robe.

Elder Yu, stroking his chin, said, "Although it's customary to give a congratulatory gift, your breakthrough was too fast, I haven't had time to prepare anything..."

“I have an important matter concerning cultivation to ask you, senior brother. If you find it difficult to present this as a gift, why not accept it as such?” Li Yinsheng said.

"No, seeking guidance on cultivation is a matter of course among fellow disciples, how can it be used as a congratulatory gift?"

Elder Yu waved his hand: "However, I really can't think of a good gift for you right now. Why don't I give it to you when you come to ask me for advice?"

"Then I thank you in advance, Senior Brother Yu." Li Yinsheng cupped his hands in thanks.

He actually wanted to ask if there were any treasures that would be beneficial to his junior sister's body refinement, but those that could be useful for the True Blood Manual were all rare and precious materials, which seemed too valuable.

Elder Yu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more.

He stared at Li Yinsheng's face, somewhat doubting whether the kid had already mastered the True Blood Body.

After all, although the kid's facial features hadn't changed much, he inexplicably found the kid much more pleasing to the eye.

"Anyway, after the Dao Examination, Junior Brother Li will be staying temporarily at my Five Clouds Peak in Zhelong Valley, so I'll wait until Junior Brother Li arrives to give him my congratulatory gift."

Elder Qin's gaze fell on Li Yinsheng's face, and he chuckled.

For some reason, she felt that Li Yinsheng was much more handsome than she had seen him a few days ago, and he had even made her a little lost in thought just now.

His facial features haven't changed at all, which is really strange.

Elder Shen looked at Li Yinsheng, tapped his Qiankun bag, and a dusty, gray whetstone flew to him.

"This item can be used to nourish the sword energy of flying swords and increase their power."

Li Yinsheng didn't stand on ceremony and thanked him before accepting the gift.

Elder Shen glanced at Li Yinsheng and nodded slightly.

This physical form is quite suitable for cultivating the sword immortal path. If one were to focus on physical cultivation like that barbarian Yu, it would be like casting pearls before swine.

I need to find an opportunity to talk to this junior brother Li in the future, so that he doesn't go astray.

The Fourth Elder took out three demon cores from his Qiankun Bag and flew to Li Yinsheng's side.

The demonic aura above it was dense, as if it still retained some residual power. Although it had not yet reached the level of a great demon, it was undoubtedly a very powerful existence among demon cultivators.

Li Yinsheng thanked him and accepted the gift.

He could use these three demon cores to refine pills himself, or he could leave them for his junior sister to refine quasi-magic weapons and magic weapons in the future; they would be very useful.

Elder Yue's gaze had been fixed on Li Yinsheng's face from the very beginning, his ruby-like eyes occasionally trembling for a moment.

"Come to my herb garden in a month, and I will have a gift for you." After saying this, she said no more.

Elder Jin, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up.

"I've already decided what to give you, but you'll have to come to my Jiming Peak in person to get it."

She smiled sweetly at Li Yinsheng: "Or I can go to Wuxia Peak to find you first, and then personally take you to Jiming Peak, junior brother."

Elder Qin raised an eyebrow: "Senior Sister Jin, there's no need to trouble yourself. Junior Sister, you can take Junior Brother Li with you then."

Elder Jin chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.

But when her gaze fell on Li Yinsheng, a strange look flashed across her delicate and lovely face.

She knew what Li Yin looked like before, and had even seen his portrait.

At that time, she exclaimed that this junior was the most handsome cultivator she had ever seen, and the person who painted the portrait was also highly skilled, with Li Yinsheng leaping off the paper in the painting.

But now that she has met him, she feels that the person who painted the portrait was too crude, and it did not capture the spirit of the subject at all.

She had originally harbored the idea of ​​having her beloved disciple become a Daoist couple with Li Yinsheng, but now she no longer held any hope.

After all, although Kui Nian has the potential to become a Dharma Image, this Junior Brother Li is already a Dharma Image.

The Ninth Elder, who had been relatively unknown throughout, stood up and looked at Li Yinsheng with a broad smile.

"Haha, with Junior Brother Li here, I finally have someone I can call Junior Brother."

As he spoke, he took out a gold box and presented it to Li Yinsheng.

When the golden box was opened, it contained hundreds of high-grade talismans neatly arranged inside.

Li Yinsheng took a look and found that the spells sealed in these talismans were basically as powerful as a full-force attack from an ordinary cultivator.

Even for a True Immortal with the title of Imperial Edict, the cost and effort required to draw so many high-grade talismans would not be small.

With this box of talismans in hand, if used without regard to loss, an ordinary True Person could probably go toe-to-toe with a Great True Person.

After all, although the power of a single talisman is only at the level of a real person, the consumption required to activate the talisman is very small.

Of course, this is an extreme case. If you really play like this, after a battle, most of the talismans in the box will be gone.

"Senior Brother Qi, isn't this too precious?" Li Yinsheng did not take the gold box.

He knew something about this Ninth Elder. After all, he had been in the lineage for so long, and he had naturally taken the time to inquire about the so-called "backing figure of Shouyi Temple".

This is the Ninth Elder in front of me. His surname is Qi, and he is the most recent elder to condense his Dharma form.

This person's cultivation mainly focuses on the way of talismans, and therefore he is somewhat close to Shouyi Temple.

"Haha, Junior Brother Li, there's no need to be so polite. This box of talismans was just drawn in my spare time. Although it has some value, I don't like fighting and rarely leave the lineage, so it's really useless to me. It's perfect to give it to you as a congratulatory gift!"

Seeing Elder Jiu's enthusiasm, Li Yinsheng no longer declined.

After placing the gold box into the Qiankun bag, he silently sealed it with dozens of array formations.

Just now, he scanned the golden box with his divine sense and found a hidden compartment containing a talisman he did not recognize.

However, what's strange is that the interlayer and the talismans inside are not hidden, nor are there any measures to prevent divine sense from being detected.

Even a True Person or a cultivator below the True Person level could immediately detect the hidden layer and the talismans within it with a sweep of their divine sense, without any attempt at concealment.

Such an open and honest nature suggests that it is probably not something sinister.

But just to be on the safe side, he still locked the entire golden box with layers of array formations and restrictions.

I'll take a closer look when it's convenient later.

Chapter 159 Honorary Elder

After presenting their gifts or making promises, the eight elders all looked at the Grand Elder.

Now, only the Grand Elder has yet to present his congratulatory gift.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, the First Elder smiled slightly and looked at Li Yinsheng.

"I also have a gift to give to Junior Brother Li, but unfortunately it's not possible now. We have to wait for the sect leader to return."

Upon hearing this, not only was Li Yinsheng taken aback, but the other elders also looked puzzled.

Elder Yu asked from the side, "Master? What kind of congratulatory gift can only be given when the Master returns?"

"This item was obtained by me and the sect leader when we explored an ancient tomb of a demon race after I had just completed my Dharma form."

The Grand Elder said, "I will keep you in suspense as to what it is. I can only say that it is extremely suitable for Junior Brother Li, the youngest of the Imperial Title True Persons."

"However, this item was jointly obtained by me and the sect leader, so if I want to give it away, I need the sect leader's consent."

Li Yinsheng was also curious, but the Grand Elder just smiled and remained silent, as if he was determined not to say it directly.

"Now that all the junior brothers and sisters have presented their congratulatory gifts, I can finally get down to business."

The First Elder looked at Li Yinsheng and asked seriously, "Now that Junior Brother Li is a titled True Person, would you rather be the Tenth Elder of the Dharma Lineage or an Honorary Elder?"

Li Yinsheng answered without hesitation.

"I don't think I'm good at managing sect affairs, so I'll just stay as a leisurely honorary elder."

Actually, managing sect affairs is secondary; the important thing is that the lineage elders do not belong to the Taoist temple.
