Chapter 191: Chapter 144 Three Choices_2
"Knock, knock, knock!"
He gently knocked on the door. From behind the heavy wooden door, a gentle voice replied, "Come in."
With permission granted, Hong Shan pushed open the door, signaling Li Yunjing to enter, while he stood at the doorway, maintaining his post.
"Tsk, tsk! So strict!"
Li Yunjing slightly shook his head and strode into the room.
It was a room of a thousand square meters, filled with various lavish furnishings.
Treasures shone brilliantly everywhere; none of the items were mundane!
A middle-aged man was sitting behind a desk directly facing him, watching him.
"Disciple Li Yunjing, greeting Senior! Are you Steward Xu Wuyi?"
Li Yunjing bowed and asked cautiously. novelbuddy-cσ๓
"Yes, it is I! Elder Liu has already told me about you. Outstanding disciples like you are always given special attention at our Seven Stars Peak. What kind of position are you seeking?"
Without any pleasantries, Xu Wuyi directly asked.
"Well... I do not know. Can Steward Xu offer some guidance?"
Such a straightforward conversation caught Li Yunjing off guard, prompting him to ask back.
"Do you want a position with real power, a leisurely position, or one with ample opportunities for gain?"
Without any courtesies, Xu Wuyi continued directly.
"Disciple’s cultivation is low, getting a position with real power would be difficult, wouldn’t it?"
Li Yunjing was taken aback and immediately questioned back.
Evidently, along the way, Li Yunjing noticed that those on duty at Seven Stars Peak were all Inner Sect Disciples.
And the team leaders overseeing the Inner Sect Disciples were all Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.
For Li Yunjing, seeking power seemed as hard as climbing to the heavens.
"Hmm..."
Xu Wuyi nodded slightly, without any intention of sparing Li Yunjing’s feelings.
"Haha!"
Li Yunjing chuckled awkwardly.
Along the way, he saw at least eleven Foundation Establishment Realm experts on duty. Seeking real power would be courting death, wouldn’t it?
Even if he was given power, could he suppress those below him?
That was simply impossible!
Li Yunjing was self-aware.
"How about a position with ample opportunities for gain?"
Having understood Xu Wuyi’s no-nonsense style, Li Yunjing directly asked.
"Collecting various materials needed by the Seven Star Palace, that’s a position with ample opportunities for gain!"
"Of course, if you overreach, a trip to the Divine Prison is inevitable. We at Seven Stars Peak do not waste Spirit Stones on leeches."
Xu Wuyi continued.
"I understand!"
Li Yunjing nodded, understanding Xu Wuyi’s words with deeper meaning.
Having done procurement in his past life, Li Yunjing understood these principles. If he didn’t, how could he survive in the society?
"What about a leisurely position?"
Nonetheless, Li Yunjing wanted to hear the next option.
"A leisurely position means having almost no tasks. You can focus on cultivation and learn Array Dao. When you’re capable, serve our Seven Stars Peak!"
Xu Wuyi explained further.
"Uh..."
Li Yunjing was stunned and felt motivated. This option wasn’t bad either!
He thought for a moment before saying, "Can I undertake both the last two options simultaneously?"
"Heh..."
Xu Wuyi laughed. This kid was truly greedy!
But he liked it!
"That depends on how clever you are!"
"I will first arrange a place for you to stay within the Seven Star Palace. This Jade Scroll records the rules of conduct within the Seven Star Palace. Memorize them. Being able to navigate the Seven Star Palace on your own will mean you have entered the sect."
As he spoke, Xu Wuyi raised his hand, sending a Jade Scroll flying towards Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing caught the Jade Scroll, immediately using his Divine Sense to examine it, only to find it densely packed with runes. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a map.
All the information about the Seven Star Palace’s buildings was encoded in mysterious runes.
If one couldn’t comprehend these runes, the map was almost useless.
Only an Array Master could comprehend and understand its meanings. This was one of the Seven Star Palace’s confidentiality measures.
Luckily, having read the Array Atlas, Li Yunjing carefully examined the runes three times and found his residence!
"Alright! You may go now! This Jade Scroll is your identity within Seven Stars Peak. The sect’s Identity Token does not work here. Only our own identity will be recognized by our own people!"
Xu Wuyi began to see him off and finally added, "Let Hong Shan take you to your residence."
"Hehe! No need! I’ve found my residence myself. I’ll go on my own! No need to trouble anyone else!"
Li Yunjing sneered, who would he be fooling?
It seemed everyone in the Seven Star Palace was quite arrogant; even the sect’s Identity Tokens didn’t work here?
Let’s just see if I can make a name for myself here!
"Hmm? You found your residence?"
Xu Wuyi seemed a bit surprised, giving Li Yunjing a serious look for the first time.
This kid’s talent seemed not low?
Or maybe he had previously learned some knowledge about Array Dao?
"Hehe! What’s so hard about this? It’s just Array Dao! If one can’t understand the runes, what’s the point in studying arrays?"
"Why would I even come to Seven Stars Peak?"
Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly.
"Kid! You’re quite arrogant! Very well! You’ve passed the first test. I really hope you can show me something shocking in Array Dao!"
Xu Wuyi did not resent Li Yunjing’s arrogance.
Within the Seven Star Palace, many Array Masters were extremely arrogant. Even Xu Wuyi was ridiculed by some older masters in the Array Dao.
