Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill

"Are you Li Yunjing? Have you broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

Someone who had heard Li Yunjing's name couldn't help but be shocked, sizing up the young Daoist in front of him.

Li Yunjing became truly famous, and most of the Shenxiao Dao Sect knew about him, because he took first place in the Outer Sect competition last March.

Nobody expected that by the beginning of this year, Li Yunjing had already become a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Going from the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm to the First Heaven of the Foundation Establishment Realm in just ten months is truly a terrifying speed, leaving no room for doubt in their surprise.

Some people nearby who didn't know Li Yunjing asked around, and after learning the truth, they also looked at Li Yunjing in shock.

Among so many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators present, in terms of cultivation speed, no one was even close to Li Yunjing. Not even a single cultivator had advanced from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm in ten years!

In other words, Li Yunjing's cultivation speed was dozens of times faster than other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of Shenxiao Dao Sect!

His one day's worth of cultivation was equivalent to others' one month!

Once everyone understood this, they were stupefied. Is he even human?

Suddenly, many discussions started around Li Yunjing.

"Hehe! I just recently broke through. I haven't had time to update my identity yet."

Seeing everyone talking about him, Li Yunjing awkwardly touched his nose and explained with a smile.

"I'm Ji Wenzhong! This time my task is to take down a vein of the mine. What about you?"

The middle-aged man nodded kindly, introduced himself to Li Yunjing, and then shook his identity token while explaining his task.

He didn't say much else about the mission.

"What a coincidence! So am I!"

Seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately understood that they are on the same team, all here to complete the same task.

These people might be his teammates.

It seemed that before he arrived at the square, these future temporary teammates had already started grouping, gathered together, and acquainted themselves with one another.

Li Yunjing didn't expect that upon entering the square, he would meet his teammates, saving him a lot of trouble from looking for them in the crowd.

Through Ji Wenzhong's introduction, Li Yunjing also got to know the other thirty-two fellow disciples.

These people came from different peaks, and one even came from Seven Stars Peak. However, Li Yunjing didn't recognize this person, as they rarely interacted.

The Seven Star Palace was vast, and many array masters preferred to stay in their residences to research arrays, rarely going out.

When this person saw Li Yunjing, a fellow disciple from the same place, he was not too enthusiastic. They exchanged a few indifferent words before falling silent.

The thirty-three people gathered together hardly communicated, clearly used to solitude as cultivators. They didn't want to waste time on idle chatter when there was no pressing matter.

After exchanging names and a few words, they fell silent.

Li Yunjing looked around the square, and saw similar scenes in other places.

Seeing that others were no longer interested in talking, Li Yunjing also closed his eyes slightly and rested quietly.

As for the other groups of people in the square, Li Yunjing didn't disturb them, nor did he inquire about their purposes. There were thousands of people, each with their own tasks and plans. Asking about others' affairs was very taboo.

Just like Li Yunjing himself, he did not say that this task was a true disciple's assessment mission. He only mentioned, like everyone else, that it was an operation to occupy a mine vein.

As for others' speculations, Li Yunjing didn't mind.

As long as they tacitly understood, it was fine.

In this way, before long, more scattered cultivators arrived at the square, asked around, found their comrades, and gathered together.

Time passed bit by bit. An hour later, no more cultivators came to the square.

Li Yunjing and the others waited another quarter of an hour, and then a Golden Core Realm expert arrived.

This person had a bushy beard, a tall stature, and walked with the poise of a dragon and a tiger, standing imposingly before Li Yunjing and his group. His sharp gaze swept over the crowd like a knife.

He took out his elder token, accessed the sect's task information, and immediately confirmed that the thirty-four people in front of him were to accompany him in completing the task.

Seeing that everyone was gathered, saving him the trouble of searching for each individual, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright! I am your leader for this mission, Elder Yu Yuanhua of the Law Enforcement Hall. We will raid a Spirit Stone Mine of the Yin Mountain Sect to complete the mission. There will be generous rewards for everyone! If the mission fails, nothing will be discussed further! Does everyone understand?"

Yu Yuanhua coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, his loud voice causing Li Yunjing and the others to feel pain in their eardrums.

"Understood!"

Seeing the imposing elder before them, everyone responded in unison, not daring to be negligent.

This was a significant figure!

Especially from a place like the Law Enforcement Hall, where elders are exceptionally strict and tolerate no misconduct.

If they performed poorly in front of Yu Yuanhua, likely they wouldn't need to return to the sect. They might be executed on the battlefield by Yu Yuanhua himself.

This sort of thing had happened before!

Whether it was disobeying orders on the battlefield or showing cowardice before the enemy, there were always those ignorant enough to defy orders and meet a grim fate.

Li Yunjing and the others were smart enough not to give Yu Yuanhua a bad impression right from the start.
