The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 492: Chapter 258 – Start Breaking Pill and Becoming a Baby_1
After waiting for the disciple who had guided him to leave, Lin Yi stood in front of the entrance of the Cave Mansion. First, he took out a Communication Talisman, activated it, said a few words, and then tossed it away with a wave of his hand.

The talisman flew directly into the Cave Mansion. After waiting for a while and receiving no response, Lin Yi wasn’t surprised. Considering that his lifespan was less than ten years, there was no better time to go all-out in his attempts to breakthrough.

He manipulated his Spiritual Power and called out softly, so as not to jolt her, it felt like someone was calling out to her in a dream.

A short while later, the Formation of the Cave Mansion opened up. Lin Yi strolled in to find Xu Yu Rou hurriedly coming towards him from inside.

“Disciple greets Master Yun Yi.” Xu Yu Rou deeply bowed with a fist-in-palm salute, her face full of profound respect. In her eyes, Lin Yi represented the goal she constantly strove towards.

She had learned about Lin Yi’s successful Golden Core achievement from her recent conversation with Elder Qi Jing Yu. However, she had not yet broken through the Foundation Establishment stage, and had felt too ashamed to personally congratulate him.

“No need for formalities, please rise,” Lin Yi said with a wave of his hand. Within, he sighed. The path of cultivation made time fly so fast; the vibrant young girl of yesterday had already turned into a middle-aged woman, streaks of white now visible in her hair.

Qi Refiners aren’t true cultivators, so they age as time passes, becoming gradually older.

However, they could use their Spiritual Power to maintain a middle-aged appearance. If they chose not to, they would become white-haired elders, just like Elder Liu he met when he had accepted techniques in the Outer Sect.

Slowly rising to her feet, Xu Yu Rou looked at Lin Yi, her face filled with reverence. “Disciple congratulates Master on achieving the Golden Core and wishes Master success in future breakthroughs.”

“Thank you for your wishes. Today the Yun Yi Lineage is officially established, and I wanted to ask if you would join the Yun Yi lineage,” Lin Yi said straightforwardly, skipping small talk.

Hearing this, Xu Yu Rou hesitated, “Master, I have less than ten years left, and I haven’t yet been able to break through the foundation. Joining the Yun Yi lineage might damage your reputation.”

Shaking his head with a smile, Lin Yi responded, “Among all the reasons, you chose the one I care about the least. Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu and I had already agreed to take you, but if you insist on joining her branch, I have no objections.”

Seeing Lin Yi’s insistence, Xu Yu Rou no longer hesitated, bowed again, and made her pledge, “I am deeply honored, Master, I am willing to join the Yun Yi lineage.”

Lin Yi nodded, “Good, you are the first disciple to be accepted into the Yun Yi Lineage. Let’s go, follow me to Golden Sword Peak.”

He took Xu Yu Rou to Golden Sword Peak and then entered the grand hall. Gold Sword Zen Ren was already waiting inside. Seeing him, he chuckled, “You said you were going to focus on your cultivation and not establish any branch, then how come within one day, you’re poaching disciples from my lineage?”

“Hehe, Master, there’s no yours or mine. I am also a disciple of the Golden Sword Lineage and that will never change,” Lin Yi responded unabashedly.

“You’ve left me with no way out,” Gold Sword Zen Ren said, unable to suppress a smile.

The disciples inside the Golden Sword Hall looked on in envy, wishing they could interact so freely with their own masters, much like how Yun Yi Zen Ren did with his.

Lin Yi laughed and pointed to the disciples around, “Master, this deal isn’t a loss for you. I took away one disciple, but I’m helping you cultivate a batch, you’re still the winner.”

“Whether or not they can return will remain to be seen.” Gold Sword Zen Ren teased.

“I dare not poach from you. You must not cling to my leg and insist on staying in the Yun Yi Lineage,” Lin Yi responded, warning the dozen so disciples.

“Ha, you’ve even thought of a way for them to stay,” Gold Sword Zen Ren burst out laughing.

At that moment, several more people walked in from outside. The leading one was Zhou Yun Feng. “Little Junior Brother, I originally thought you wanted to recruit a small number of disciples to cultivate them personally. I didn’t expect you to want to help us train disciples as well, how can we not be grateful?”

Gold Sword Zen Ren pointed to Lin Yi and laughed, “Yun Feng, be careful not to lose more disciples to him, he has planned how to let them stay.”

Lin Yi defended himself, “Elder Brother, Master is framing me. Where is the truth in his words? I am just trying to help train your disciples…”

Following that, laughter echoed in the Golden Sword Hall. After the teasing, Lin Yi counted the number of people, there were a total of thirty-six, averaging each lineage getting about twelve.

From his senses, these individuals were all highly potential cultivators. He then used the Eye of Emptiness to check their morality auras. They were all white, perhaps tinged with a slight mark of grey.

He couldn’t expect them all to be saints. As long as they hadn’t killed innocents and didn’t harbor ill-intentions, they could be accepted.

Lin Yi took out a Spirit Boat from his Storage Bag and led the disciples back to Yun Yi Peak. The Dan God Secret Realm was quite convenient, one could transport with just a thought.

Next, he began to explain in Yun Yi Palace some insights for the disciples about transitioning from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Foundation Establishment stage and shared his own comprehension.
