After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

"Master, didn't you say that this training for the Talisman Master might take a year? Why are you back so early?"

Ye Tang asked curiously while eating.

"I plan to go into seclusion for half a year and strive to achieve the state of spiritual transformation." Yu Nian said casually, as if he was talking about something not worth mentioning.

You know, she is only 49 years old now, and among the top ten sects, she is one of the most talented people.

Such a brilliant person died early in his previous life, and died in the Yaoguang Sect.

Ling Cang's mind was completely focused on Lan Qingqing at that time. He racked his brains but could only remember that Elder Yu Chen said that Yu Nian had gone astray and died suddenly.

Now it seems that there must be something fishy about this matter, and the Yu Nian in front of him does not seem so simple.

Suppressing the doubts that had been dormant in his heart for many years, Ling Cang said calmly: "Master, why are you in such a hurry to break through? It is better to consolidate your foundation."

"The Yuqing Sect is about to hold its twenty-yearly sect conference. This is the invitation they sent," Yu Nian took out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Tang, who was eager to see it. "The sect conference includes the Spiritual Transformation Competition, and our sect doesn't have any Spiritual Transformation cultivators yet."

"Master, is the sect conference important? What are the rewards?"

Yu Nian patiently explained, "The reward is insignificant, but it can help the sect gain more publicity. The higher the sect's reputation, the more disciples will come to us, and the sect will develop better and better.

The Fengxian Academy now has more than just the six of us, the master and disciples. We need more resources and cannot rely solely on the Jinyu Hall and Fengxian Hall. If we want to develop in the long run, we must participate in the sect conference."

As he spoke, Yu Nian patted Ye Tang on the shoulder and said, "There is still half a year before the sect conference. You can't stay out of it. You must study hard and practice diligently."

Among Yu Nian's five disciples, the one with the highest cultivation level is Lin Jingyao, who is in the early Nascent Soul stage, followed by Ling Cang, who is in the middle Golden Core stage. Ye Tang and Yang Yi have also reached the early Golden Core stage. Yun Yan, who has the lowest cultivation level, is in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

She has confidence in her apprentices and hopes that they can shine in their respective competitions.

Ye Tang slipped away and tried to run away after finishing his meal, but was caught by Yu Nian.

"Yang Yi, keep an eye on your junior sister. Don't let her play around any more during this period."

Ye Tang suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

After so many years of getting along, she had long understood that the most difficult person among their group was Yang Yi, who obeyed Yu Nian's orders.

As long as it was an order from Yu Nian, Yang Yi would try his best to complete it, even if it meant going through fire and water. Once it fell into his hands, there would be no room for maneuver.

Ignoring his disciple's resentful gaze, Yu Nian returned to his bedroom, set up restrictions, and began to retreat.

Half a year, in the world of cultivation, passed in the blink of an eye.

With the help of the system, Yu Nian barely broke through to the Spiritual Transformation realm before the sect conference.

Three days later, Yu Nian, along with the disciples and elders who were going to participate in the competition, boarded the spirit boat to Yuqing Sect.

The spirit boat traveled at full speed and soon arrived at a small town affiliated with the Yuqing Sect. In the town, cultivators and mortals lived together. The permanent population of the town was as high as over 100,000, and various buildings were lined up one after another.

Because a sect conference was about to be held, many monks from various sects had already arrived in the town, making it look quite lively.

The cabin opened, and countless monks from Fengxian Academy, dressed in uniform white robes with blue stripes, came down from the spirit boat one after another.

This large group of people naturally attracted a lot of attention. Yu Nian was in the lead, looking noble and elegant.

I don't think——

A huge white phoenix bird, with a snow-white body, spread its beautiful wings and tail, raised its neck and flew down from the spirit boat, pressing the woman in white directly under it.

The thought of being crushed by a mountain: "......"

Everyone: This is very sudden.

Qionghua felt like there was someone under her. After slowly moving the huge body away, she saw its owner, who rarely got up, lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Ye Tang and Yun Yan hurried forward and pulled Yu Nian, who was lying on the ground, up. They tidied her hair and snow-white clothes and flicked off the dust on her clothes.

It took a long time for Yu Nian to come back to his senses from the fear and confusion that felt like a mountain was crushing him. He stared at his most special disciple with complicated eyes.

Is it stewed or roasted?

As if she could read Yu Nian's thoughts from her eyes, Qionghua hung her head in grievance and kept humming, retracting her tail and stretching out her wings to cover her face.

It was the appearance of the legendary white tiger that diverted everyone's attention away from Yu Nian and eased her embarrassment.

The people from Fengxian Academy did not stay for long and headed towards the mountain gate of Yuqing Sect.

The three characters "Questioning Heart Stage" were engraved on the huge and ancient stone gate, which must have been left by a high-level cultivator. Just one glance at it would give people some insights, and the disciples with lower cultivation levels would even feel a little dizzy.

Of course, for Yu Nian, this was not enough to shock her. The main reason was that the scene behind the Heart-Searching Stage was completely beyond her cognition.

I saw densely packed islands floating in the sky, scattered like stars, so spectacular!

This straight stairway leads to the largest island among the floating islands. The scenery on the island cannot be seen clearly from a distance.

These islands exist in the air above their heads, and there are suspension bridges connecting nearby islands.

At this time, the elders of Yuqing Sect who came to welcome the distinguished guests came forward when they saw them.

"Fellow Daoist from Fengxian Academy, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!"

One of the elders who came to greet the guests was at the late Nascent Soul stage. This was the profound foundation of the ten major sects.

Yu Nian was neither humble nor arrogant, and exchanged pleasantries with him. Then he saw Yu Chao and Chu Mu not far away. They chatted about the past, and then the Yuqing disciples climbed up the Heart-Questioning Steps and led them to the place where the distinguished guests were staying.

After a day of rest, which was the third day after Yu Nian and others arrived, the sect conference officially began.

The first rays of morning light faintly shone through the horizon, and a hint of warmth descended upon the world with the dawn, slowly enveloping the entire Yuqing Sect floating island.

On the main island of Yuqing, the huge Yin-Yang Square in front of the main hall was already filled with monks. On the high platform close to the main hall, rows of seats were already filled with representatives of the ten major sects.

These big men were dressed in gorgeous robes and sat upright on the intricately carved stone chairs, looking extremely majestic.

Yun Yan, who loves to watch the fun, rushed through the crowd like a little duck, squeezing here and there to see the scenery in front of the crowd, but because of her height, she was always drowned in the crowd.

This squeeze caused problems.

"You little girl, you are so brave that you dare to offend our Elder Wang!" A disciple in the foundation-building stage grabbed Yun Yan's arm tightly.

"I've already apologized, I didn't mean it... Let me go!" Yun Yan couldn't pull her arm out of the disciple's hand no matter how hard she pulled. She felt a sharp pain in her arm from being grabbed by this person.

"Tell me, which sect you are from? Go ask your elders to judge the matter!" Seeing that Yun Yan had low cultivation and was easy to bully, the disciple threatened her with a fierce look on his face.

This is probably not about seeking justice, but about looking for trouble.

"Her master is me, what's the problem?"
