Chapter 179 Commendation Ceremony

Cen Zhu lifted a corner of the scroll world, looking out from the inside.

Several days had passed since Li Shuyi drugged her. After the Spirit Pool fully healed, she did not

slow down time within the scroll; instead, she synchronized time with the mortal world.

Since that day, she had seen Li Shuyi frequently visiting Mu Jiling under the guise of a visit.

Although Mu Jiling was slightly puzzled by his daily visits, she greeted him with genuine joy.

From their conversations, Mu Jiling seemed to believe that Lin Xue was in seclusion. However, Cen Zhu

watched . It seemed he had mobilized a great deal of power just to find her.

She cursed inwardly, thinking that this man was truly incorrigible.

She observed and waited for her opportunity, finally arriving on the day of the commendation ceremony. Seeing that Li Shuyi seemed to have only

sent a few cultivators to guard the outer perimeter of Mu Jiling's cave, Cen Zhu chanted an incantation, activated an invisibility talisman, and

left the cave, flying directly to the ceremony venue on her sword.

The sect's commendation ceremony was held at the main peak, Xiu Luan Peak. The platform where the messenger's staff was usually placed was now

brightly decorated and bustling with activity.

The scene resembled a worldly celebration, creating

a striking contrast against the ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere of the mountain.

Behind the platform were several halls and pavilions, including the Hall of Affairs, the Elder's Hall, and the Hall of Tranquility.

As Cen Zhu flew towards the platform, she removed the invisibility talisman en route. After all, at such a grand commendation

ceremony , even the most audacious Li Shuyi wouldn't dare to do anything inappropriate to her in front of everyone.

When her flying sword landed, all the cultivators on the platform turned to look at her.

With a calm expression, she slowly walked towards the high platform erected in the center of the venue. Li Shuyi's expression

amused ; his handsome face alternated between pale and flushed, seemingly filled with disbelief and a regret she couldn't quite decipher.

Cen Zhu merely glanced at him briefly before shifting her gaze, calmly walking towards the four rows of people standing, the first

position .

The numerous cultivators on the platform immediately began to chatter amongst themselves. Thousands of cultivators surrounded the platform, their expressions

a mixture of envy and jealousy as they scrutinized the twelve cultivators

standing there. These were the top three from the four major competitions, and their presence here signified their meteoric rise within the Lingyin Sect, receiving substantial support from the sect.

Eight of the twelve cultivators were already elite disciples, receiving considerable

cultivation ; therefore, the most envied were the four ordinary disciples.

Everyone knew that the sect competitions were a springboard for outer disciples or ordinary disciples; achieving success in the competition

meant a smooth and meteoric rise to power.

Cen Zhu stood there calmly, feeling no sense of honor in

standing On the contrary, being stared at by so many eyes made her extremely uncomfortable.

Especially since her first-place position was right in front of Li Shuyi, she could almost feel his

burning gaze piercing her back. In front of her were countless cultivators' envious and jealous eyes, and behind her was

Li Shuyi's ambiguous glare. Caught in the middle, she felt extremely uncomfortable. If it weren't for the "Great Rejuvenation Pill

," she would never have wanted to be so high-profile.

"The Sect Leader has arrived!" the Foundation Establishment cultivators standing on both sides of the platform shouted.

A middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a gray and black robe, wearing a white crown, with Bagua diagrams adorning his collar and long sleeves, slowly

ascended the platform. Even though he was beaming with joy, there was still a hint of authority in his eyes.

The middle-aged Taoist Master Ji proclaimed, "Today is the commendation ceremony for the Lingyin Sect's competition. All cultivators should take

the twelve winners on this stage as role models and contribute their own strength to the sect."

The twelve cultivators bowed respectfully, awaiting Master Ji's call of names.

When Master Ji announced, "Lin Xue, first place in the weapon-refining competition," Lin Xue bowed deeply and

accepted the jade token of first place and a porcelain bottle from Master Ji.

As she held the bottle, her heart was filled with excitement, and her hands even trembled slightly.

The Great Rejuvenation Pill—she had finally obtained it. Meng Ji's injuries could then be healed.

After the awards were presented, Sect Leader Ji said, "All of you cultivators are the most outstanding cultivators of the Lingyin Sect. In six months, the

once-every-twenty-years Ten Sects Grand Competition will be held. This year, it is the Heaven and Earth One Profound Sect's turn to host it. All cultivators, please

gather at the sect gate in five months to participate in the competition."

The cultivators all replied in unison, "We will obey the Sect Leader's instructions!"

The entire commendation ceremony finally came to an end. Some cultivators remained where they were, chatting animatedly, while others had already

left. Just as Cen Zhu was about to leave on her sword, an old cultivator walked up to her from afar.

Cen Zhu looked closely and realized that this old cultivator was none other than the elder from the Earth Fire Hall's weapon-refining competition!

She quickly bowed and respectfully asked, "May I ask what guidance Elder has for me?"

This old cultivator was none other than Feng Liren from the Earth Fire Hall.

Feng Liren smiled and said, "Junior Sister Lin's weapon-refining skills are truly superb. I wonder if she would be willing to join the Earth Fire Hall?"

He was deeply impressed by the weapon-refining skills of the female cultivator before him. Such a prodigy should join the Earth Fire Hall and enjoy

the treatment of a "weapon refiner" within the sect.

Cen Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "The elder has given the order, and I should obey it. However, Lin Xue has other important matters to attend to. Could we

consider it after Lin Xue has finished her business?"

If it were before, she would definitely not have accepted becoming a weapon refiner in the sect. After all, while weapon refining was her heart's

desire, she did not want to be completely bound by the sect and have no freedom whatsoever. But now that she had offended Li Shuyi,

if she wanted to find a backer within the sect, she thought that an independent institution like the Earth Fire Hall would be relatively safer.

But in fact, what she really wanted was to give the "Great Rejuvenation Pill" to Meng Ji and then flee, far away from the Lingyin Sect.

After all, while the environment here was pleasant, offending Li Shuyi meant living in constant fear. It would be better to leave and

end it all.

But constantly running away seemed to be a bad habit. Was this endless running away a good

method? Was this her "path"—always resorting to such passive methods when faced with problems? She

had started , then escaped from the demonic cultivators, and finally reached the Spirit Continent. Was she destined to only keep running?

Human laziness instinctively made her seek a simple and free path, but as a cultivator, she

understood that running away at the first sign of trouble would only become a habit. If she didn't confront and resolve the issues properly, this endless cycle would only lead to...

Fleeing is ultimately not the right path.

Whether she should remain in the Lingyin Sect, and if so, how to deal with the Li family's cultivation

power , she really needed to take the time to thoroughly consider everything.

Feng Liren was taken aback, clearly not expecting his suggestion to be rejected, but he still smiled, "I

've been staying in the Earth Fire Hall for many years. If you've made up your mind, Junior Sister, just come find me."

Cen Zhu smiled gratefully at Feng Liren and said, "Thank you, Elder."

Feng Liren nodded slightly, then boarded his flying artifact and left.

Just as Cen Zhu was about to leave Xiuluan Peak, Li Shuyi appeared silently before her.
