How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Li Muyun bowed slightly to the King of Qin on the platform, and the King returned the bow with a friendly smile, which surprised everyone. It seems that the rumors circulating a few days ago that Li Muyun had won the title of the most virtuous person at the Hundred Sages Banquet were not unfounded.

Li Tianci, his eyes bloodshot, stared at Li Muyun from the crowd and said through gritted teeth, "You little bastard, I will repay the humiliation you suffered last time tenfold today!"

Seeing that Li Tianci's injuries had fully healed, Li Muyun nodded with a smile, "As expected of the bloodline of the Marquis of Tiantu, his injuries heal very quickly."

Enraged, Li Tianci was about to take action immediately when Li Tianquan stopped him with a cold smile, looking at Li Muyun with a sinister gaze and saying, "I hope you'll still be this sharp-tongued after your coming-of-age ceremony."

Li Muyun shrugged, unsure whether to agree or disagree, and took his place.

The coming-of-age ceremony was once again presided over by Yuan Wuji. It began with a series of elaborate rituals, signifying that these young men and women had become independent eagles, ready to soar on their own in the future.

Li Muyun was indifferent to all of this, but Li Tianci, who was not far away, had long been impatient. He fiercely taunted Li Muyun with a punch in the void. After Li Muyun was injured, Liu Ruyue specially spent a lot of money to buy him a spirit-replenishing herb, which not only helped him recover from his injuries, but also allowed him to break through to the second level of Earth Profound Martial Master. During this period, he will further improve his "Beast Blood Technique" and "Lion Tiger Blood Killing Strike". This time, he is determined to avenge his previous humiliation.

"Idiot!"

Li Muyun didn't even bother to look at him. Li Tianci was no longer a match for him. His real enemy this time was Li Tianquan.

After all the complicated formalities were over, Yuan Wuji stood in front of the Immortal Martial Stone Tablet and announced loudly, "All young talents, please take the level test."

All eyes turned to Li Muyun. There had been so many legends about him lately. Everyone wondered what level he had reached in this test.

The King of Qin looked at Li Muyun with great admiration, and said to Shi Miaochan beside him with stars in her eyes, "You said Muyun's cultivation has improved again?"

Shi Miaochan crossed her hands and rested them on her beautiful chin, a smile appearing on her red lips. She said admiringly, "It's not just improved, it's astonishing! I've never seen such a genius before! Brother, you've struck gold!"

"If you put it that way, then I'm even more excited!" The King of Qin's gaze burned even brighter, his love for talent evident on his face.

On the training ground, the tests had begun, and the young people were being tested one by one. They all showed slight improvement compared to before, clearly indicating that no one had slacked off during this period.

Li Tianci walked up to the Immortal Martial Stone Tablet, stared at Li Muyun provocatively, and poured his true energy into the stone tablet.

On the stone tablet, large, golden characters, written in a flowing, elegant style, appeared:

[Second level of Earthly Mystic Martial Master].

The spectators were also somewhat surprised. Li Tianci's cultivation had actually improved considerably after his injury, making him a truly promising talent.

He Qing, the steward of the Wuji Sect, nodded in satisfaction and said, "My lord, Young Master Tianci is exceptionally talented. I hope he can join the Wuji Sect in the future and become another prized disciple of mine."

Li Rentu nodded indifferently and said, "Steward He is a martial arts master. It is my son's honor to become your disciple."

He Qing cupped his hands in greeting, his old face beaming with joy. Being able to take two sons of the Heavenly Slaughter Marquis as disciples meant that, with the Heavenly Slaughter Marquis as his powerful backer, he could advance even further in the sect in the future.

Shi Miaochan scoffed dismissively and muttered under her breath, "He's far inferior to my Young Master Yun."

As they spoke, it was Li Muyun's turn to be tested. He placed his hand on the cold Immortal Martial Stone Tablet, and his vigorous true essence suddenly erupted.

Bang!

The impact of the true energy actually produced a muffled sound, and Li Muyun's white robes were also fluttered by the strong wind of the impact, making this handsome young man even more dashing!

[Foundation Building Stage Four!]

"what?!"

Brilliant golden characters appeared on the Immortal Martial Stone Tablet, and Li Tianci's eyes widened instantly as he shouted out.

"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The rest of the group were even more shocked, their eyes wide open, speechless.

Shock! Amazing! Shocking!

In just one month, he went directly from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the fourth level!

What a monster and freak!

Li Tianquan couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Wasn't he only at the first level of Foundation Establishment? How did he become the fourth level? Is this little bastard some kind of monster?!"

Li Tianci was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "I don't know either. He...he cheated, didn't he?"

The King of Qin in the stands stood up. At the Hundred Sages Banquet, Li Muyun was a genuine Foundation Establishment Level 1 cultivator. His cultivation speed was probably no better than that of the geniuses of the Eight Great Sects!

Seeing the shocked crowd, Shi Miaochan laughed so hard she swayed and her body trembled. But at this moment, no one cared about Princess Miaochan's beauty anymore.

Yuan Wuji, who was hosting the coming-of-age ceremony, was somewhat dazed. Just a month ago, he witnessed a bastard who had been insulted by everyone transform into a Taoist immortal. In just one month, he witnessed another miracle!

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Wuji finally recovered from his shock and said, seemingly half-asleep, "All aptitude tests are complete. Next, the management rights of the assets will be allocated based on the test results. This time, the assets to be allocated are two mines, three medicine shops, nine cloth shops, ten equipment shops... The strongest person will have priority to choose two, and so on. Apart from those who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, all young people under the age of twenty can challenge each other, using their resources as stakes. Each person has only one chance."

As a Foundation Establishment Stage 4 cultivator, Li Muyun was the first to choose resources. Minerals and medicine shops were both good resources, and Li Muyun chose one of each that was close to the east of the city. The others also made their choices in turn.

After explaining the rules, it was time for the challenge.

Li Tianci was furious at Li Muyun's nonchalant demeanor and was the first to jump out, cursing, "I don't believe you can advance to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment so quickly. I want revenge, so you get the hell over here."

Li Muyun looked at Li Tianci with a half-smile, stretched his body, and said, "Are you sure you want to challenge me?"

"That's right! If I lose, all my resources are yours!" Li Tianci clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. "I don't believe you're really that outrageous!"

Li Tianquan initially wanted to stop him, but then he changed his mind and thought it would be good to let his younger brother test Li Muyun's strength. If he was really at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, he would really need to be careful and must defeat Li Muyun with the power of thunder. Otherwise, the immortal techniques of the immortals are mysterious and complicated, and he might end up capsizing in a ditch.

Li Muyun sighed softly. The young man was far too overconfident. Even before Li Muyun had undergone arduous training, he could easily control Li Tianci, let alone now.

As the battle between the two began, the people present also started to tense up, their hearts pounding with apprehension. Was such an astonishing speed of cultivation real? And what was their actual combat strength?
