The Undying Immortal System

A week later, JiaQi and LiTing showed up. I gave them the same rough information that I had given YuLong and showed them to a room where they could cultivate in seclusion.

Then, I also entered seclusion to begin cultivating a new technique, the Writ of Metal from Charred Earth. Since I was returning to the Nine Rivers Sect, it might have been better to take this opportunity to cultivate the fire essence technique and permanently raise my fire affinity to peak four-star, but changing one’s cultivation technique after ascending to the Ruler Tier was a bit complicated, and I needed access to both metal and earth qi if I wanted to learn how to make memory orbs.

So, I chose a technique that was similar to the Writ of Wood-Burned Earth which I had cultivated previously. There wasn’t much new that I needed to learn, and thankfully, this technique didn’t require experiencing the pain of burning alive.

With the help of pills and formations, I was able to return to Peak Disciple after only a few weeks.

At the end of the first month, Yan finally made an appearance, so I gathered both my friends and my two disciples in the manor’s sitting room. As I looked around at everyone, my feelings were… mixed. I was happy about seeing them again, but I was worried about how they would react to what I had to tell them.

I closed my eyes, breathed out, and began.

“Let’s start with some introductions.” I looked at Bao and SuYin and gestured to the others. “These are Zhuge Yan, Shi YuLong, Chai JiaQi, and Lin LiTing. They are the companions who joined me on my first trip through the Nine Rivers Sect.”

Bao and SuYin both gave the others a quick martial salute.

I turned to this group of four and gestured to the pair opposite them. “This is Bao Wen and Ye SuYin. They are personal disciples that I accepted in my most recent life.”
