Li Yu looked at Murong Xingqiao in surprise. She smiled and nodded, indicating for him to accept the edict.
He bowed and prepared to accept the edict.
The Da Xia dynasty had a rule that cultivators did not need to kneel.
Moreover, for someone as strong as Li Yu, even if he did not bow, no one would dare to say anything.
The eunuch began to read out the imperial edict. The opening was a long speech of praise. The gist of it was to thank Li Yu for his contributions to the Great Xia Dynasty. He rambled on for a long time.
Finally, he got to the main topic. "Therefore, I confer upon Li Yu the title of Da Xia dynasty's Guardian Celestial Master. I confer upon the Qing Yun Sect the title of Imperial Training Hall of the Da Xia dynasty. I reward him with one hundred thousand taels of gold, fifty thousand spiritual stones, five hundred magic weapons, and five hundred rolls of silk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yu bowed and accepted the edict.
"Master Li, His Majesty also said that he will immediately send the best craftsmen to help with the construction of your sect. The construction of your sect will be completed within three months!" The eunuch said with a smile.
"Please thank His Majesty for me!"
Li Yu did not stand on ceremony. After all, he was in a hurry to complete the sect. Otherwise, these disciples would not even have a place to stay when they returned.
The eunuch smiled and nodded, then respectfully retreated to the side. The Crown Prince then led a dozen men who looked like scholars forward.
"Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved. I believe that Discipline King Purple Dragon's crisis has been resolved!" Murong Xingqiao said with a smile.
She had heard that Discipline King Purple Dragon came to seek revenge on the Qing Yun Sect and was very worried.
When she heard from the Guardian Celestial Master that Li Yu had returned on the Purple Lightning Dragon, she was relieved.
"Yes, Your Highness, I have made you worry. Everything has been resolved smoothly!" Li Yu cupped his hands.
"I've invited more than ten scholars from the Imperial College to help you guys. There are too many people here. I'm afraid that you guys won't be able to finish even if you work until night time!" Murong Xingqiao said.
"Haha, Your Highness is too considerate!" Li Yu was overjoyed.
This Murong Xingqiao was indeed a woman. She was indeed meticulous. This was really like sending a pillow when one was tired and warming the bed when one was cold.
With the help of these scholars to register and handle the entry procedures, the efficiency would definitely increase.
After the brief interlude of the imperial edict, the recruitment of disciples continued. Li Yu used the system's disciple management function to screen the candidates.
Ye Qiu led several scholars to continue with the registration and personnel registration.
On the other hand, Li Yu directly announced the admission list of the people who had registered before, and then handed it over to the scholars to start the official admission procedures.
Among them, those with ordinary aptitudes were directly accepted as outer disciples, while those with better aptitudes were accepted as inner disciples.
With the help of the scholars from the Imperial College, the efficiency of the recruitment increased by several times.
Just after noon, all the registration work was completed.
The Blue Cloud Sect had also successfully recruited more than 1,300 disciples with the required aptitude.
Among them, there were more than two hundred people with relatively good aptitudes, and four of them met the system's genius aptitude requirement.
Now, they only needed two more people to completely complete the recruitment mission.
The recruitment ended without a hitch. Li Yu bid farewell to Murong Xingqiao and the others.
He rode the Purple Lightning Dragon back to the Blue Cloud Sect.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu, Ji Qinglan, and the others led the new disciples back to the Blue Cloud Sect on the flying boat that Murong Cang had given them.
When Li Yu returned to the Blue Cloud Sect, Yuhua Zhenren and the Taiwu Taoist Master had already left.
Wu Chang was in seclusion to refine the Vermilion Bird Grass, while Li Qingyun was surveying the surroundings of Qingqiu Mountain for spirit veins and feng shui.
He was preparing to set up a spirit gathering formation and a protective formation around Qingqiu Mountain.
"Father, you know how to set up formations?" Li Yu smiled.
"Your father knows everything!
By the way, what's the extra reward for the Divine Weapon Roll this time?
I'm very curious! "Li Qingyun put down the compass in his hand and looked at Li Yu curiously.
At this moment, many people in the world were curious about what the additional reward was.
Li Yu smiled mysteriously, then leaned close to Li Qingyun's ear and whispered, "The Ancient Tree of Dao Luck!"
Li Qingyun's eyes widened.
The Ancient Tree of Dao Luck!
No wonder it had to be kept a secret!
This was a reward that could shake the entire Immortal Martial World and bring about a fatal disaster.
The Ancient Tree of Dao Luck was an immortal tree!
It condensed spirit veins, gathered Dao Luck, and blessed an area.
It could be said that an Ancient Tree of Dao Luck could turn an area into a blessed land.
In the entire Immortal Martial World, only the most powerful sacred ground of the Daluo Sacred Region, the Dao Yi Sacred Ground, had an Ancient Tree of Dao Luck.
It was said that the Dao Yi Sacred Ground's patriarch had brought it back from the Immortal Region in ancient times and planted it in the sacred ground.
It was also because of that Ancient Tree of Dao Luck that the Dao Yi Sacred Ground had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years without decline, and its Dao Luck was still flourishing.
It had nurtured countless geniuses and almighty figures who had ascended to immortality.
It was said that cultivating under the Ancient Tree of Dao Luck for a year was better than cultivating for ten years in the outside world, and it was also helpful in comprehending the Great Dao.
Therefore, an Ancient Tree of Dao Luck was enough to make all the people and forces in the world jealous.
For countless years, countless people and forces had coveted the Ancient Tree of Dao Yi Sacred Ground.
Almost every few hundred years, the Dao Yi Sacred Ground would experience a war.
If not for the Dao Yi Sacred Ground's strong foundation and the protection of the forces in the Immortal Region, it would have been destroyed long ago.
Therefore, this was the reason why the Heavenly Dao kept this extra reward a secret.
However, the secret of the Ancient Tree of Dao Luck would be known sooner or later, and it could not be hidden.
Therefore, in Li Qingyun's opinion, this was really a reward that was both a blessing and a curse.
It was very happy, but also very worrisome!
Li Qingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Now, it will be difficult for our sect to develop!"
"Yeah, we want to keep a low profile, but the Heavenly Dao won't allow it. With this Ancient Tree of Dao Luck, our sect will surely become the strongest sect in the world in the future. It might even become a new sacred ground!" Li Yu said with a smile.
With the system and the Heavenly Dao Ranking, it would be impossible for his sect not to soar.
When he was truly invincible, he would travel the world freely and enjoy all the flowers in the world.
He would have a meal of braised dragon meat, stewed kun in an iron pot, and barbecued giant peng.
He would also have a taste of the juice of the girls in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm that could turn them into peerless beauties. Ugh, it was fruit juice!
Hehe, facing the 'ocean', 'flowers blooming' in the warmth of spring.
Li Yu finally realized what a wet song it was after he grew up!
As Li Yu was indulging in his thoughts, Li Qingyun suddenly patted Li Yu on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Sigh, with great power comes great responsibility. Son, the sect will depend on you from now on!"
"Oh!" Li Yu looked at Li Qingyun and felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words.
However, he did not mind. Instead, he asked, "Dad, where do you think we should plant it?"
I want to plant it in my heart!
Li Qingyun thought to himself. This Ancient Tree of Dao Luck was a treasure.
However, this thing was also a hot potato!
"Let's plant it in your courtyard!" Li Qingyun said.
