Mysterious mirror hanging high

Ye Jinyuan was excited. He was nearly fifty years old and had given up the idea of ​​seeking the Tao, but he was ambitious again. Without wasting a moment, he once again absorbed and exhaled rich spiritual energy, slowly improving his cultivation and climbing to a higher level.

Little did he know that Jing Yu was secretly observing this person at this moment, and secretly said:

"With the Late Bloomer fate, the later in a great realm one reaches, the faster and greater the speed of cultivation and the chance of breaking through bottlenecks. However, in the early stages, there are some obstacles, and progress lags far behind that of ordinary people... It's considered a very unique and exquisite fate."

"This person's spiritual roots are average. Although he was born into the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, he is a side branch of a side branch. He doesn't receive much spiritual resources for cultivation, and he doesn't have any innate great luck... Naturally, his progress in cultivation is slow, and he is stuck at the fourth level of Qi training, unable to make any progress."

“But if he was born into the direct lineage of the Ye family, and the spiritual resources he obtained were enough to allow him to reach the late stage of Qi training, he would have discovered the wonders of this destiny long ago, and his current achievements would not have stopped there.”

"What a pity, I just had some bad luck."

Jing Yu pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of Li Fan, a contemporary of the Immortal Selection Hall who was killed upon landing. He also had the fate of being a late bloomer, but was cut in half by a horse thief just after being born.

In comparison, the person in front of him, Ye Jinyuan, was able to live to his forties without any illness or disaster, which was already a blessing from heaven.

"Let's see how far you can grow."

Jing Yu no longer paid attention to Ye Jinyuan, but only planted a means of surveillance on him, and then retreated to the cave to go into seclusion.

Three months later, a huge Taixu Tower ship docked on the shallows of the island of Fugui Mountain, and hundreds of disciples of Xuan Ce Sect came down from it one after another. They were all good seedlings with excellent foundation and qualifications.

The leader was a tall and handsome man, but he was the elder of Xuan Ce Sect [Yun Ji].

Behind Yun Ji followed a tall golden-haired demon ape with an iron rod on its shoulder, looking around curiously.

The next moment, Jing Yu suddenly appeared in front of the Taixu Tower ship. Yun Ji saw him and bowed quickly, saying:

"Meet the true king!"

The golden-haired demon ape Zhao Yuankong also quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, how are you these days?"

"Yun Ji? It's you who came?"

Yun Ji said respectfully, "The sect master instructed us that since True Lord Xuan Jing's lineage has just been established, the sect must be in need of a Jindan True Lord to handle the trivial matters. Therefore, I was sent here to help True Lord with his worries and difficulties, so that he can focus on his cultivation."

Jing Yu thought about it and finally understood.

Yun Ji has the destiny of "peaceful rivers and peaceful seas". The more peaceful the surrounding environment is, the more conducive it is to his practice.

Due to the existence of the two divine masters, Qiu Dongxuan and Xiao Guanying, the Penglai Fairyland is no longer peaceful. Although there is some chaos in the East China Sea, it is much more peaceful than the Penglai Fairyland where the battle between good and evil is about to break out. No wonder Yun Xuance sent Yun Ji here.

With Yun Ji here, Jing Yu was too lazy to manage the sect anymore and handed all the miscellaneous affairs to this Jindan Zhenren. He then began to practice in seclusion and observe his fate. Three years passed leisurely since then... However, nothing major had happened in the East China Sea.

----

Ye Jinyuan has been practicing diligently since he came to Fugui Island and became a disciple of Xuanjing Immortal Sect. His cultivation level has now reached the fifth level of Qi training, which is the middle stage of Qi training. Under the influence of his fate of [late bloomer], his cultivation speed is no different from that of ordinary cultivators with the same qualifications.

In addition, the spiritual energy in Fugui Mountain is rich, which is far better than the training conditions of Ye Jinyuan when he was in the Ye family. The magic power that originally took seven or eight years to accumulate has reached the peak in less than three years. He finally touched the bottleneck of the fifth to sixth level of Qi training a few days ago.

One day, he slowly finished his practice in his retreat room, exhaled lightly, and sighed:

"In just three years, he has reached the fifth level of Qi training. Even among the many Yuanying training centers in the East China Sea, this place is one of the best!"

"The Grandmaster is kind and compassionate, and since there are not many disciples in the Immortal Sect now, we, the lesser Qi cultivators, are now qualified to enjoy the core training grounds... That's why we have made such rapid progress."

"It's a pity that this small bottleneck is hard to break through. I don't know when I can break through to the sixth level of Qi training."

Ye Jinyuan is now fifty years old, and there are only thirty years left before he reaches the age of eighty when his energy and blood will decline.

Fugui Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, and with the spiritual elixirs distributed by the immortal sect every month, accumulating magic power is not a difficult task. However, small bottlenecks have become a roadblock for Ye Jinyuan to climb to a higher level. If small bottlenecks delay him for three to five years, it will be difficult for him to reach the ninth level of Qi training before he is eighty years old, and there is still no hope for him to build a foundation.

He sighed, stood up, walked out of the retreat room, and flew towards Fugui Mountain.

Not long after, Ye Jinyuan arrived at the General Affairs Hall, but saw the demon ape Zhao Yuankong wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on the cushion in the center of the General Affairs Hall, seemingly meditating and breathing.

"Elder Yuankong! Disciple Ye Jinyuan is here to take on the sect's mission." Ye Jinyuan said respectfully.

Zhao Yuankong, who had originally had his eyes slightly closed, opened them and glanced at the gray-haired middle-aged man with a calm expression:

"So it's Jin Yuan. There are only a few general affairs positions suitable for Qi training disciples. You are very familiar with them. Just go and get your badge."

"Yes!"

Ye Jinyuan walked to where the jade tokens were placed, took out a jade token engraved with the words "Catch Spirit Fish Near the Sea", and respectfully backed out of the General Affairs Hall.

After seeing Ye Jinyuan leave, Zhao Yuankong muttered in a low voice, "This kid has some pretty powerful connections! He has no talent, no foundation... Not to mention Golden Core, he has no hope of even practicing Foundation Establishment. How on earth did he get into the Immortal Sect?"

After Ye Jinyuan accepted the task, he flew directly to the shallows of Fugui Island, cast a water-avoiding spell, and dived into the sea.

Catching spiritual fish near the coast is not a very dangerous task. There are very few fish with cultivation levels above the Foundation Establishment level near the coast. At most, they are at the Qi Training level.

Ye Jinyuan is now considered a disciple of the Yuanying Taoist school. In terms of the cultivation and improvement of his magic skills, he is not as good as the disciples of the big sects, but at least he is much better than the members of the side branches of the immortal clan.

In addition, he is a cautious and steady person, and he rarely goes too far into the deep sea, so this task is not too troublesome for him.

Several spirit fish at the second or third level of Qi training swam around him. Ye Jinyuan summoned a fish spear magic weapon and instantly pierced through a spirit fish. Then he tried hard to use the object control technique and laboriously retrieved the still struggling spirit fish along with the fish spear.

Just as he was putting the half-dead spirit fish into the fish basket, a huge fish shadow suddenly flashed in the sea and quickly attacked him.

Even when he was collecting fish, Ye Jinyuan was keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully. When he saw the huge fish approaching, his expression suddenly changed:

"A hammerhead shark at the foundation-building stage? Why would such a fish-beast at the foundation-building stage appear near the sea?"
