"Great Elder, no need."

"Before we came, I just received news from Qingluan Peak that they accepted two direct disciples, one male and one female, and both of them became disciples of Jin Yueli."

"One is named Mingzhu, and the other is Li Zhiming."

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?" Qiao Wanli's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"Replying to the Great Elder, you didn't ask at the beginning."

"Alright, alright, what's the origin of that pearl?"

"He is also a disciple of our Zhenyuan Sect. He followed Elder Qin who was guarding Xuyuan Prison. He has been staying in Xuyuan Prison since he joined the Zhenyuan Sect. This time, after he came out with Li Zhiming, he joined Qingluan Peak together." The man replied.

"Understood."

Qiao Wanli nodded and looked at Liang Meng, "Where is Li Zhiming? Where are the others?"

"He's already left." Liang Meng replied.

"Where did you go?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe he went back to the mountain gate."

"This kid is running away pretty fast. How long has he been gone?"

"Not long, just a moment."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanli jumped up and hung in mid-air.

He was high above the ground with an excellent view, and could see the entire situation in the Cangbei Valley.

"Where is Li Zhiming?"

Qiao Wanli stood with his hands behind his back, and his voice was like a loud bell, slowly spreading above the Monument Valley and reaching everyone's ears.

Hearing this, everyone looked up.

"That's the Great Elder!"

"To be able to float in the air for a long time without the aid of a flying spiritual tool, only a strong person above the third rank can do it!"

"I'm so envious. I wonder when I can cultivate to the third level."

"What do you think the Great Elder wants to do with Li Zhiming?"

"Who knows? Maybe there's trouble deep in the Monument Valley?"

"With the Saint here, who dares to cause trouble?"

"Besides, why would the trouble alarm the Great Elder?"

"It's obvious that the sect's top leaders came here for the stone tablet. Could that stone tablet be what Li Zhiming comprehended?" A disciple made a bold guess.

"This...isn't possible?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. On what basis can Li Zhiming rely?"

"What's the point of thinking so much? Who comprehended the stone tablet and what does it have to do with us? Let's go." Someone waved his hand and chose to leave.

Seeing no one answered, Qiao Wanli above knew that Li Zhiming had already left the Cangbei Valley, so he fell from the air.

"Everyone, Li Zhiming has left the Monument Valley. We can go now."

Qiao Wanli said this lightly, then turned into a stream of light and left the Cangbei Valley.

Dozens of people followed behind him, all of them were the sect’s top leaders who had gathered together, including people from the Council of Elders and top masters from various lineages.

"Third Elder, go and tell the Sect Master about this. I will go to Qingluan Peak to find Li Zhiming. According to convention, the Sect will reward those who comprehend the stone tablet generously. This disciple needs to go to the main hall of Zhongshan Peak to pay respect to the Sect Master."

Qiao Wanli said to the fat man next to him.

"clear."

The third elder nodded, and the two of them parted ways.

Qiao Wanli flew towards Qingluan Peak.

…

Qingluan Peak.

Li Zhiming returned to his own yard.

I found Senior Sister Mingzhu waiting at the door.

"Senior sister... why are you here?"

"There was a strange phenomenon in the sky just now, and I wanted to go over and take a look, but I'm not very familiar with the Inner Sect, so I came here to find you to keep me company." Mingzhu replied.

"I see."

Li Zhiming briefly told Mingzhu about the situation in Cangbei Valley, but did not mention that the strange phenomenon in the sky and earth just now was caused by himself.

"There is such a good place in the inner sect. Since those stone tablets were found from the depths of Xuyuan, doesn't it mean that Xuyuan is a treasure trove?" Mingzhu's eyes sparkled.

"Having said that, it seems that apart from the ancestor who founded the Zhenyuan Sect, no one has been able to go down to the deepest point, right?" Li Zhiming replied.

"It seems so. It is said that the evil death energy in the deep place forms a fierce gale, which is enough to tear a first-class strong man to pieces!"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Junior brother, would you like to accompany me for a walk?" Mingzhu tilted her face and asked tentatively.

Li Zhiming nodded and said, "Sorry, Senior Sister. I will definitely do it next time."

"Next time...Do you have anything important to do today, Junior Brother?"

"Sister, I feel that the Qi in my body is very chaotic. It should be because of some problems in my cultivation some time ago. I need to go into seclusion to adjust. When I finish my seclusion, I will definitely take you to tour the entire inner sect."

Li Zhiming gave a brief explanation.

"Okay then, senior sister will wait for you." Mingzhu said with a smile.

"By the way, Senior Sister, if anyone comes looking for me, just tell them that I'm in seclusion practicing."

"good."

Mingzhu nodded.

Li Zhiming returned to his residence, packed up simply, and then sneaked to the back mountain of Qingluan Peak.

This place is sparsely populated and uninhabited, so it is relatively quiet and suitable for retreat and meditation.

He found a hidden cave and went inside.

Li Zhiming opened his palm and a compass appeared in his hand.

The reward obtained from collecting corpses before was a small formation, an auxiliary formation, called the Hidden Formation.

This formation can conceal one's aura and hide one's tracks.

It is difficult to be discovered when you are inside the formation.

Li Zhiming's mind moved, and he injected his true energy into it, and the compass of the formation fell to the center of the cave.

A blue light spread out and enveloped the cave.

Afterwards, Li Zhiming took out two silver puppets with third-grade combat power that had been gathering dust in the storage ring for a long time. They were also the rewards he received for collecting corpses before.

Li Zhiming put enough spirit stones into it, and two puppets guarded the entrance of the cave, one on the left and one on the right.

In this way, he felt a certain sense of security.

After completing the protective measures, Li Zhiming sat down cross-legged, the Taiqing Heart Method he had recorded appeared in his palm, and he began to study it.

The roof of Qingluan Hall.

Yun Cang, the master of Qingluan Peak, and Jin Yueqi and others stood with their hands behind their backs, looking in the direction of Cangbei Valley.

"The strange phenomenon of heaven and earth has disappeared, and I don't know who has comprehended one of the nine stone tablets this time." Yun Cang said.

"Maybe she's still a saint."

"That may not be the case. It's not like there are no other geniuses in the inner sect."

"But we in Qingluan Peak do not have any disciples who have reached the fifth level and can be compared with the Saint Girl."

"Oh... don't say anymore. I feel so sad." Jin Yuezhen shook his head.

"Old Jin, why are you upset? Didn't you just accept a genius with excellent physique? If you train him, even if he can't reach the level of a saint, he can still compete with her."

"Old Yu, you are flattering me."

"Although Mingzhu has good talent, there is still a certain gap compared to the Saint." Jin Yueqi shook his head.

"Oh, Lao Jin sounds very dissatisfied. How about you give me the pearl?"

"Get lost." Jin Yuechen waved his hand.

"You're taking advantage of me and still acting ungrateful." Yu Tian snorted coldly.

"A Saint is a gifted lady from heaven that you can only meet once in a while... Wait, the news should come soon."

Yun Cang spoke, he regained his composure and fell from the roof.

At the same time, a tall and strong young man with a simple face and nearly two meters tall walked over quickly.

"Master, the Great Elder is here." The young man bowed.
