It turned out to be a communication talisman, and the message contained within it immediately entered Ye Feng's mind.

"The sect leader needs to see me. You can talk here first. I'll be right back."

After saying this, Ye Feng stood up and strode outside.

Shenmu Sect, Qingmu Peak.

Master Qingmu remained seated cross-legged atop the Azure Dragon Divine Tree, performing a great meditation.

Upon Ye Feng's arrival, he bowed respectfully to him. After all, Ye Feng was now known as Lin Bifeng, the Third Elder of the Shenmu Sect, so he had to maintain appearances.

"Sect Master, may I ask why you have summoned me here?" Ye Feng asked.

Master Aoki opened his eyes, and two balls of green light seemed to flicker in them.

“Last night, Ling Chaoxing, son of Ling Tianxing of the Lingyun Sect in Yunlan Mountain, broke through to the Transcendent Realm. The Lingyun Sect will hold a celebration ceremony in five days, and our Shenmu Sect, according to our rules, will send an elder with several disciples to offer our congratulations,” said Master Qingmu slowly.

"I see." Night Breeze nodded.

Ye Feng obtained all of Lin Bifeng's memories, so he knew about the Lingyun Sect of Yunlan Mountain.

The Lingyun Sect of Yunlan Mountain is located 1,300 miles southeast of the Shenmu Sect. The Lingyun Sect is a medium-sized sect, and its sect leader, Ling Tianxing, is already a martial arts master at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.

The three elders of Lingyun Sect have all reached the early stage of the Transcendent Realm.

Now that Ling Chaoxing, the son of Ling Tianxing, the sect leader of Lingyun Sect, has broken through to the Transcendent Realm, this is naturally a major event for Lingyun Sect, and it is not surprising that Lingyun Sect is holding a celebration ceremony.

"I will arrange the congratulatory gifts for you. Now go and select your disciples, and you will depart for Lingyun Sect in three days," Master Qingmu said slowly.

"Sect Master, why not arrange for other elders to go? I have only just returned to our Divine Wood Sect, and I presided over the selection conference a few days ago, so..." Ye Feng asked, feigning curiosity.

"It is precisely because you have been traveling for five years and have finally returned that you should participate more in the affairs of the sect," said Master Qingmu.

"I see." Night Breeze nodded with a smile.

“If you have no objections, then this matter is settled,” said Master Aoki.

"No further comments," Ye Feng said.

"Then let's do it this way," said Aoki Masato, waving his hand.

When Ye Feng returned to the cave, Bai Muxue, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan were chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing Ye Feng return, Bai Muxue immediately stood up respectfully from the prayer mat.

Sun Muqing asked with a smile, "Master, what happened?"

“Ling Chaoxing, son of Ling Tianxing, the sect leader of Lingyun Sect in Yunlan Mountain, has broken through to the Transcendent Realm, so Lingyun Sect will hold a celebration ceremony in five days. The sect leader spoke with me and asked me to represent our Shenmu Sect to offer our congratulations. We will set off in three days,” Ye Feng explained.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Sun Muqing suddenly realized.

Jiang Lingxuan asked curiously, "Are you going alone, or are you bringing some disciples with you?"

"Of course it's not just me. Our Shenmu Sect is a prestigious sect, after all. What kind of decorum would it be for me to go alone to offer my congratulations?" Ye Feng chuckled.

Then Ye Feng continued, "I plan to bring seven or eight disciples with me on this trip to Lingyun Sect to offer my congratulations. You two will definitely be coming with me. But I wonder what you think, Bai Muxue?"

Bai Muxue quickly replied, "If Elder Lin is willing to take me there, then I am naturally willing!"

"Alright, you're in the running," Ye Feng nodded and said.

A hint of excitement appeared on Bai Muxue's face.

Ever since she learned that Ye Feng was Lin Bifeng, the third elder of the Shenmu Sect, Bai Muxue had been trying to get closer to him, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Now that Ye Feng is taking her to Lingyun Sect to offer congratulations, this is naturally a good thing for her!

Sun Muqing said, "The two of us plus Junior Sister Bai, that's only three disciples, right?"

"Just select a few more from the outer disciples of the Divine Wood Sect," Ye Feng said calmly.

Bai Muxue thought for a moment and said, "Elder Lin, after joining the Shenmu Sect, I made some friends, and they are outer disciples of the Shenmu Sect. If you don't mind, I recommend that they come with us to the Lingyun Sect."

After a pause, Bai Muxue continued, "The outer disciples I recommended were all rather unsuccessful, so..."

Seeing Bai Muxue's hesitant expression, Ye Feng immediately understood what she meant.

Bai Muxue had just joined the Shenmu Sect and had no foundation, so the people she associated with were naturally not outstanding disciples of the Shenmu Sect.

Moreover, Bai Muxue is now an outer disciple, so those who have been close to her are naturally also outer disciples.

The few unsuccessful outer disciples that Bai Muxue mentioned must have been doing poorly within the Shenmu Sect, not valued by the sect's elders and protectors. Bai Muxue's recommendation of them was actually to give them a chance.

"It's alright, as long as they follow the rules and don't cause me any trouble," Ye Feng said, waving his hand dismissively.

"I guarantee they will absolutely not cause any trouble!" Bai Muxue said quickly.

A day later, Bai Muxue brought the four outer disciples she had recommended to Ye Feng's cultivation cave.

The four outer disciples all looked nervous when they saw Ye Feng.

Bai Muxue introduced with a smile: "Elder Lin, these are the outer disciples I recommended. This is Lin Xuanyue, this is Zhao Qiuyi, and these two are Chang Zhiqing and Bai Zangfeng."

Bai Muxue then said to the four of them, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly pay your respects to Elder Lin!"

So the four outer disciples all bowed to Ye Feng and greeted him in unison.

Ye Feng nodded and looked at Bai Zangfeng, saying, "Is this Bai Zangfeng a member of your Bai family?"

Bai Muxue shook her head repeatedly: "Elder Lin, you misunderstand. I am the only one from our Bai family who has joined the Shenmu Sect. Senior Brother Bai Zangfeng just happens to share the same surname."

Bai Zangfeng's face showed deep embarrassment: "Bai Muxue, you should still call me junior brother. Although we are both outer disciples and I entered the sect earlier than you, you are still at the True Yuan Realm, while I am only at the early stage of the Separation and Union Realm."

Bai Zangfeng's cheeks flushed slightly as he spoke; the young man seemed shy and introverted.

Bai Muxue smiled and continued, "These two are Elder Lin's personal disciples, Senior Sister Sun Muqing and Senior Sister Jiang Lingxuan."

Lin Xuanyue, Zhao Qiuyi, Chang Zhiqing, and Bai Zangfeng quickly bowed and greeted Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were very satisfied to see that the four outer disciples were polite and well-behaved.

Ye Feng then said, "Bai Muxue recommended the four of you, so you should know where you're going with me, right?"

Lin Xuanyue cupped her hands and said, "Senior Sister Bai has already told us that we are going to Lingyun Sect in Yunlan Mountain with Elder Lin to participate in Lingyun Sect's celebration ceremony."
