Top enlightenment at 100 years old

Ji Haoyuan's words were not merely out of politeness or intentional modesty.

Because the things left to him by Master Yunshang indeed helped him greatly.

Especially that Thick Earth Scripture.

It ultimately perfected the cultivation technique he practiced.

If it weren't for this, whether he would choose to form a Core at this time, to form a better quality Golden Core and solidify his foundation, was uncertain.

However, at this moment, Master Lei Xia shook her head.

"Junior Brother Ji, you don't need to say more; for me, the fact that you brought back my Dao partner's relics is already a great kindness.

In the future, if you have anything you need, you can feel free to speak to me.

As long as I can do it, I won't decline."

Saying this, Master Lei Xia seemed to think of something.

She then took out a jade box from her person.

The jade box opened.

Inside, there were five Thunder Stones of different attributes.

Among them was the Earth Thunder Stone that Ji Haoyuan currently needed.

Before Ji Haoyuan could inquire, Master Lei Xia had already spoken:

"Earlier, I observed the Demonstration Stele and saw that Junior Brother Ji has made significant achievements in the Thunder Technique.

Coincidentally, I have these Five Elements Thunder Stones to assist with the cultivation of Thunder Techniques as a meeting gift for you, Junior Brother Ji."

At this point, Master Lei Xia's beautiful eyes turned to Zhang Tianyang.

This made Zhang Tianyang slightly startled.

But he quickly understood Master Lei Xia's intention.

He couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.

You gave a meeting gift on your own, why must you draw me into it as well?

Though internally grumbling, Zhang Tianyang did not show any reluctance on the surface.

He also took out a jade box and smilingly handed it to Ji Haoyuan.

"Since Senior Sister Lei Xia has given a meeting gift, as an elder brother, I naturally should not show indifference.

I see that Junior Brother Ji's cultivation is nearing perfection at the initial stage of the Golden Core.

This Celestial Spirit Fruit is just a small token of my regard."

As he spoke, within that jade box, a fruit shimmering like the stars appeared before Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

"This..."

Ji Haoyuan was somewhat at a loss for words.

The others delivered what he most needed just like that.

It made him feel that directly refusing would be inappropriate.

Most importantly, the total duration of their interaction was rather brief.

Yet they presented such valuable items...

Seemingly sensing Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, True Monarch Xuanyuan interjected at this moment.

"Ji, since it's the goodwill from your Senior Sister and Senior Brother, just accept it without reluctance or burden.

For us cultivators, the future is long, and all causes and effects need only be kept in mind."

Those words instantly brought clarity to Ji Haoyuan's heart.

Indeed.

Since fate brought them together, there was no need for him to be so affected.

Today you help me, planting a benevolent seed, and one day I may return the favor or lend a hand.

With this in mind, Ji Haoyuan stopped hesitating and straightforwardly accepted the items given by the two, sincerely expressing his gratitude:

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lei Xia and Senior Brother Tianyang.

In the future, if there is anything you need from me, feel free to ask.

As long as I can do it, I certainly won't refuse."

"Well said!"

Upon hearing this, both Master Lei Xia and Zhang Tianyang smiled slightly.

They exchanged a few more words.

True Monarch Xuanyuan did not stay longer.

He simply advised Ji Haoyuan that when he had spare time, he could visit him.

After these words, True Monarch Xuanyuan took his leave first.

As True Monarch Xuanyuan departed, the atmosphere lightened significantly.

No matter what, as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Xuanyuan carried an inherent pressure despite his amiable nature and temperament.

But a True Monarch was a True Monarch.

His invisible pressure was felt by everyone to some degree.

"Junior Brother Ji, do you have any plans going forward?"

At this time, Master Lei Xia looked warmly at Ji Haoyuan.

"If there are no immediate plans, why not come back to the sect with me for a while? It would be good to officially register you as an Honored Guest Elder of the Demonstration Sect.

That way, if anything comes up in the sect, things will go more smoothly."

This consideration was for Ji Haoyuan.

As a Honored Guest Elder of the Demonstration Sect, registering in the records is expected.

Although with the identity token given by True Monarch Xuanyuan, even if Ji Haoyuan didn't formally handle this, it wouldn't be much of an issue.

But every large family has its own rules, and so do sects.

Acting against the norm is ultimately not advisable.

Moreover.

A Golden Core practitioner's status, while significant in some places, isn't extraordinarily esteemed within the Demonstration Sect.

An Elder in the early or mid stage of the Golden Core is considered mid-level.

But compared to the late stage Golden Core, there is a significant gap.

Furthermore, Master Lei Xia undeniably had her own reasons for the suggestion.

It wasn't appropriate to refuse.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan smiled and said to Master Lei Xia:

"I have no other plans for now.

I initially came to see the auction event in your Immortal City, but I didn't expect such a fortunate encounter.

I will follow your arrangements, Senior Sister."

"So, you were here for our Immortal City's auction?"

Zhang Tianyang suddenly commented with a smile.

"That's an easy matter; the auction is about two months away.

If you're still interested, you can attend with your Honored Guest Elder token; I'll inform the others."

The Ten Thousand Laws Immortal City's auction was within Zhang Tianyang's domain of responsibility.

If he wanted to give Ji Haoyuan a hand in this regard, it wasn't an issue at all.

Ji Haoyuan didn't further demur this time.

After thanking Zhang Tianyang, he set off with Master Lei Xia towards the Demonstration Sect's gates.

On the way.

Master Lei Xia told Ji Haoyuan much about the internal matters of the Demonstration Sect.

This made Ji Haoyuan deeply feel the extraordinary heritage of such an ancient sect.

The Demonstration Sect alone has several fourth-rank Spirit Veins.

Including numerous third-tier high-quality and mid-quality Spirit Veins.

Surrounding the entire Demonstration Sect, forming an integrated whole.

Their influence spans tens of thousands of miles.

And the foremost reason for taking Ji Haoyuan to the Demonstration Sect's gates was to find a Spirit Peak exclusively for him within their sect.
