God Destroying Pearl

"The nearest immortal cultivation sect from here is the Qingyun Sect, which is one of the most prestigious sects in the immortal cultivation world. The Qingyun Sect is famous for its swordsmanship and there are many masters in the sect. If you can become one of them, your path to immortal cultivation may be smoother." The owner continued.

"Can anyone join the Qingyun Sect?" Song Yun asked anxiously.

"Of course, you can't just join Qingyun Sect casually. As a famous sect in the world of immortal cultivation, Qingyun Sect has strict standards and procedures for the selection of disciples.

Every three years, this sect would open its doors and recruit a group of new disciples. These new disciples did not come from everywhere, but were carefully selected and recommended to have the opportunity to step into the threshold of this immortal sect. This year happened to be the third year.

Whenever the day of selection approaches, the entire cultivation world will be shaken. The affiliated forces and related sects of Qingyun Sect will take action one after another, looking for young cultivators with outstanding potential and excellent character and qualifications in the areas under their jurisdiction, preparing to recommend them to Qingyun Sect.

These recommended disciples are often the best who have gone through layers of screening and testing. Some of them have achieved success in the secular world, and some have stood out in the sect. In either case, they must show extraordinary strength and potential to have a chance to gain the favor of Qingyun Sect.

And I just happen to have this recommendation."

Hearing this, Song Yun was very excited and bowed and said, "I wonder if the owner can be kind enough to show me some mercy?"

The shop owner looked at the jade box and said nothing.

Seeing this, Song Yun quickly handed the jade box to the shop owner and said, "This jade box is given to you as a gift."

The shop owner laughed and said, "Haha, no problem, no problem." Then he took out an iron plate from his arms and handed it to Song Yun.

Song Yun took it in his hand and saw the word "Qing" written in the middle of the iron plate.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, my boy Song Yun." Song Yun thanked him.

"The road to becoming an immortal is full of unknowns and challenges. You need to remain vigilant and respectful at all times," said the shop owner.

Song Yun was shocked when he heard this, and he respectfully asked, "Please teach me, senior."

"My last name is Liu Kun. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Liu."

Song Yun said respectfully, "Thank you very much, Uncle Liu, for your kindness."

The shop owner smiled and nodded, then slowly said, "First of all, a cultivator must understand his true nature and stick to his original intention. In the process of cultivation, you will encounter various temptations and tests. Only by sticking to your original intention can you keep a clear mind and not be disturbed by external things. You must also learn to adapt to circumstances."

Song Yun nodded and took note of it in his mind.

The shop owner continued, "Secondly, cultivators must practice diligently and constantly improve their strength. Only when they are strong can they gain a foothold in the world of cultivation and protect themselves and those around them."

Song Yun nodded again, indicating that he would work hard to practice.

Seeing Song Yun's humble attitude, the shop owner nodded with satisfaction and added, "In addition, cultivators need to make friends and build connections. In the world of cultivation, one person's power is limited. Only by uniting as one can we face various challenges together."

Song Yun's heart trembled, and he understood what the shop owner meant. He bowed deeply and thanked the shop owner for his advice.

Song Yun bowed and said, "Kid, remember this."

The shop owner slowly took out a yellowed piece of paper from his arms. On the paper was drawn a winding route, like a giant dragon entrenched in the mountains.

He pointed at the paper and said to Song Yun in a steady voice, "Song Yun, this is the detailed route from Niuyuan Town to Qingyun Sect. Although the journey is a bit far, your determination and perseverance will surely help you get there smoothly."

Song Yun took the paper and looked at every mark and detail on it carefully.

He knew in his heart that this was not just a roadmap, but also a guide for him to reach Qingyun Sect and realize his dream of cultivating immortals.

The shop owner added, "Remember, this year Qingyun Sect will select disciples on June 3rd, one month from now. Time is running out, so you need to prepare to set off in advance. Qingyun Sect is very strict in selecting disciples. In addition to strength, it also focuses on the independence and perseverance of disciples. Therefore, you can only complete the journey to Qingyun Sect alone. This is a test for disciples from Qingyun Sect."

Hearing this, Song Yun felt a little uneasy, but he knew that this was a challenge that he had to face on the road to becoming an immortal.

He took a deep breath and said firmly: "I understand, Uncle Liu. I will definitely leave early and make full preparations."

The owner nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of admiration and expectation for Song Yun.

He smiled and said, "Song Yun, I have high hopes for you. The fact that you can hunt monsters on your own shows that your foundation is pretty good. As long as you maintain your courage and determination, you will definitely be able to pass the Qingyun Sect's entrance examination and join the Qingyun Sect."

After hearing this, Song Yun felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He looked at the shop owner with gratitude and bowed again to express his gratitude.

Then, he bid farewell to Uncle Liu and prepared to buy a good quality bow in the town, some fine arrows, and some other things that might be useful on the way to Qingyun Sect.

After completing his preparations, Song Yun set out on his journey home and returned to the familiar Xiaoniu Village.

The sunlight shone on the bluestone road of the village, reflecting his firm steps.

His heart was filled with reluctance, but more of anticipation for the future.

Walking into the village, Song Yun first came to the village chief's house. It was an old and simple wooden house with a few strings of red peppers and corn hanging in front of the door, exuding a strong rural atmosphere. He took a deep breath and pushed open the half-closed wooden door.

The village chief was sorting some farm tools in the house. When he saw Song Yun coming in, he put down his work and greeted him with a smile: "Song Yun, you're back! Did you get anything you wanted in the town?"

Song Yun bowed respectfully to the village chief, and then said, "Village chief, I am here to say goodbye to you. I am going to leave the village and go to Qingyun Sect to take the sect entrance examination."

The village chief was surprised when he heard this. He looked at Song Yun carefully, as if he wanted to see something from him.

After a moment, he nodded and said, "Well, I can see that you have changed a lot during this period. Your eyes are more determined, and your aura is more stable. Qingyun Sect sounds like a big sect. If you practice there, you will definitely have a great future."

Song Yun felt warm in his heart and said gratefully: "Thank you for the praise and encouragement, Village Chief. I will definitely work hard to practice and live up to your expectations."

The village chief patted Song Yun on the shoulder and continued, "I don't know when you will be able to come back. But you must remember, no matter where you go, don't forget your roots. Our Xiaoniu Village is your home, and your family and friends will always be here."

Song Yun was touched and his eyes became moist.

He saluted the village chief again and said, "Village chief, don't worry. No matter where I go, I will remember that I am from Xiaoniu Village. I will work hard to practice and strive to come back as soon as possible to bring honor to the village."

The village chief smiled and nodded, then took out a small package from the house and handed it to Song Yun: "This is some dry food and clothes I prepared for you. You will need them on the road. You must be more careful when you go out."

Song Yun took the package, his heart filled with gratitude. He thanked the village chief again and turned to leave the village chief's house.

He knew that he was about to embark on a new journey, but no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, he would move forward firmly.
