316: Getting on track

It must be said that the assessment method Li Qi devised was very effective.

In just one day, Li Qi selected the five most outstanding Disciples from the two hundred Disciples.

Especially Fu Xueping, he was very much to Li Qi's liking.

In the final stage of the assessment, Fu Xueping gritted his teeth and completed his fourth Breakthrough, allowing his sword technique Realm to reach the fourth revolution.

Because the Dragon Gate Sword Manual contained a small portion of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Sutra's essence, this made the Breakthroughs in the mid-to-Late Stages of this sword art increasingly perilous.

One needed to possess the perseverance and determination to embrace death to achieve it!

Once a mistake occurred, not to mention instant death... serious injury and trauma were likely unavoidable.

But Fu Xueping was truly remarkable; he managed to complete his fourth Breakthrough within the limited time, even Li Qi could tell he was already pushing himself to the limit.

But this guy had a ruthless streak, and the Breakthrough process was like snatching chestnuts from the fire... ultimately, he succeeded.

At this moment, Fu Xueping's face was slightly pale, and although he tried his best to conceal it, Li Qi could still detect a trace of undeniable weakness in his Qi.

"Very good, from now on, you five will be my Disciples."

The five were overjoyed and immediately bowed down: "Disciples... Greetings, Revered Master!"

Li Qi was a legendary figure in the Four Seas Sect; he had only joined the Sect for a short year, yet his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, achieving the Enlightenment Realm, and even becoming an Elder within the Gate.

Normally, many people wanted to visit Li Qi, but Li Qi was always reclusive, rarely venturing out, and sometimes he would leave the Sect for a long time, so these people who wished to see Li Qi could not.

Today, they were fortunate enough to become Disciples of this legendary Elder, receiving his guidance and instruction; it was truly a blessing of three lifetimes.

The selected Disciples were all beaming with joy, while those who were not chosen sighed, but could do nothing but leave.

However, these Disciples who participated in the assessment were not without Harvest.

They all learned Li Qi's Dragon Gate Sword Manual and knew the complete method of this sword art, which was a World King Realm Cultivation Technique, not something common.

Moreover, these people learned for free, without paying any price, which was a considerable gain for them.

After the assessment ended, the surrounding Disciples quickly dispersed; they had witnessed the process of this Disciple assessment and went back to discuss it with their friends and family.

And a figure walked over from among the scattered Disciples.

"Elder Li, I haven't seen you in a few days... I almost didn't recognize you."

The person who came was Feng Wuyai, the Island Revered Master of Dragon Sunflower Island; he had also witnessed Li Qi's assessment process and marveled at Li Qi's brilliant methods.

Seeing Feng Wuyai, Li Qi also smiled: "Patriarch Feng, how have you been?"

The two were old acquaintances and naturally started chatting.

"That Dragon Gate Sword Manual is not simple; forgive my poor eyesight, but I have never seen this sword art before... Was it created by Elder Li himself?"

"To be honest with the Patriarch, this sword art was indeed created by me."

Feng Wuyai clapped his hands and sighed: "Elder Li truly has great courage, to spread such a World King Realm sword art... just like that."

"If anyone else had such a sword art, they would surely hide it away."

Li Qi shook his head, unconcerned: "It's just a sword art, there's nothing to be reluctant about."

"Besides, the Four Seas Sect cultivated me, and I should naturally give back to the Sect; teaching these Disciples a World King Realm sword art... is nothing."

Some things don't matter how you say them; what matters is how you do them.

Being able to genuinely give back a World King Realm sword art is not something everyone can do, and Feng Wuyai admired Li Qi even more.

Both Li Qi's strength and his magnanimity far surpassed ordinary people.

"Elder Li's words and actions truly make me feel ashamed... very ashamed."

The two chatted for a while, and Li Qi also learned that members of the Feng Family had participated in the recent assessment.

After learning that Li Qi was about to widely recruit Disciples, Feng Wuyai immediately arranged for the Feng Family's Disciples to come; if someone from the Feng Family could also become Li Qi's Disciple, it would be excellent.

Not only could they enjoy the guidance of this legendary Elder, but they could also strengthen their relationship with Li Qi... why not?

Things went smoothly, and among the five Disciples who became Li Qi's Disciples... one was from the Feng Family.

"Oh?"

"I didn't notice just now, someone from the Feng Family also became my Disciple?"

"Yes, Feng Bingshan is one; he just Broke through to the World King Realm, and now to be able to become your Disciple... is his good fortune."

Feng Wuyai mentioned Feng Bingshan's name, and Li Qi also guessed what the other party meant, which was simply hoping that Li Qi could Cultivate this Disciple more; their relationship was good, and Li Qi readily agreed.

After a few words, Feng Wuyai also left contentedly.

With everything concluded, Li Qi led the five Disciples back to his palace.

In the main hall, Li Qi sat in the high seat, looking at the five Disciples below, and nodded with satisfaction.

"All five of you performed very well; I am very pleased."

"Today, you have become my Disciples; you must Cultivate diligently and never be negligent."

"We will not disappoint Revered Master's expectations!"

Li Qi's gaze swept across the faces of the five Disciples one by one, then landed on Fu Xueping, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Among these five Disciples, Fu Xueping's background and conditions were undoubtedly the worst among them; during the previous assessment, Li Qi learned about Fu Xueping's situation through the discussions of the onlookers nearby.

Fu Xueping's family had fallen into decline, and the help his family could provide him was limited; many Cultivation resources needed to be acquired by Fu Xueping himself, which slowed down his Cultivation progress considerably.

Now that Fu Xueping had become Li Qi's Disciple, Li Qi naturally would not allow such things to happen again.

He stretched out his hand, took out his Elder token, and handed it to Fu Xueping.

"Xueping, keep this Elder token of mine; in the future, if you need any resources, just use it to exchange for them."

Fu Xueping took the Elder token, an expression of disbelief on his face, and his hand holding the Elder token trembled uncontrollably.

"Revered Master... this Elder token..."

"This Disciple feels unworthy of it!"

Li Qi waved his hand indifferently: "Just hold it when I tell you to; why so much nonsense!"

"As long as you Cultivate well and don't let me down with this Elder token, that's enough."

The Elder token, like the gate master token, allowed free access to most of the Four Seas Sect's resources, which was like sending charcoal in the snow for Fu Xueping.

From now on, Fu Xueping could exchange for whatever he lacked and no longer had to work tirelessly to obtain resources.

Fu Xueping held the Elder token, bowed to the ground, and choked up: "This Disciple... will not disappoint Revered Master's expectations!!!"

Not only Fu Xueping, but the four Disciples next to him also looked envious.

The Elder token not only represented free access to various resources but also represented an Elder's Pay attention to and cultivation of the holder, which was an extraordinary honor.

Li Qi chuckled: "Alright, alright, get up."

Next, Li Qi gave a speech, encouraging the Disciples to Cultivate diligently, and then Li Qi arranged for Disciples to transfer more than twenty Utility Disciples from other islands to manage the daily chores on the island.

Thus, Li Qi's Emerald Rainbow Jade Island officially began to operate and got on the right track.

In the palace, Li Qi sat in a corner and slowly said.

"I have Disciples now, and I don't need to worry about their daily guidance; I can let my Clone do it..."

"It's time to undergo Nirvana again..."
