Maybe it's because he saw such a magnificent beauty?
The reason for his improved mood?
At this moment, Li Yunjing had no idea that the thunderbolt which struck him, through a night of transformation, had already turned him from an ordinary martial artist into a peerless genius with top-tier talent.
This thunder was not just any ordinary thunderbolt but an extremely rare "Creation Divine Thunder".
The Divine Thunder, carrying the "Ancestral Thunder Root", came from the void, piercing through the cosmic wilderness, sweeping across billions of planes, and descended upon this world, landing on Li Yunjing's body.
Li Yunjing had no idea what kind of fortune he had stumbled upon.
This is an opportunity that the endless worlds and countless lifeforms and ages struggle to attain.
The odds are extraordinarily low.
Li Yunjing is an exceptionally lucky person!
A seed of the thunder's essence had already taken root and sprouted in his mind.
"Since that's the case, let's travel together! According to the schedule, we should arrive at the Shenxiao Dao Sect by tomorrow afternoon!"
Yu Yunyi smiled lightly, her face like a blossoming peach flower.
"Thank you, Miss! I will definitely repay this kindness someday!"
Li Yunjing felt immense gratitude, never expecting the young lady of the Yu Family to be so considerate.
This really exceeded his expectations.
At the beginning, Li Yunjing had thought that a lady from a powerful family would look down on him, casually ask a few questions, then dismiss him!
Unexpectedly, there was no discrimination at all, and her words and actions were filled with sincerity.
Such a person is truly unique!
Yu Yunyi indeed helped him greatly—could it be just as Steward Li said, that the young lady of the Yu Family is truly kind-hearted?
Li Yunjing still seemed somewhat incredulous!
They chatted casually for a while.
During the conversation, Steward Li explained, and only then did Li Yunjing learn that the Yu Family is a cultivation clan from Yue Ming City.
Moreover, they are a leading aristocratic family, whose ancestor is the legendary Golden Core Stage elder.
In addition to the Golden Core elder, the Yu Family has numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators and many in the Qi Cultivation Stage—making them far mightier than an average small immortal Dao sect.
As one of the exemplary young generation of the clan, Yu Yunyi's journey this time was to Shenxiao Dao Sect to learn and train.
The Shenxiao Dao Sect is a preeminent sect on the Southern Heaven Continent.
It's the most powerful sect revered by the dozen dynasties on the Southern Heaven Continent.
The Shenxiao Dao Sect has been established for over thirty thousand years, having produced countless legendary figures.
Every person on the Southern Heaven Continent knows the prestige of Shenxiao Dao Sect.
Even among mortals, stories of Shenxiao Dao Sect immortals are widely circulated.
Yet, few people know the actual location of Shenxiao Dao Sect.
By a stroke of luck, Li Yunjing learned about Shenxiao Dao Sect.
Achieving great accomplishment in martial arts, Li Yunjing instantly aspired to practice cultivation.
No matter how good a mortal life is, it can't compare to being an immortal!
Since ancient times, everyone has longed for immortality, and Li Yunjing is no exception.
With a goal in mind, Li Yunjing decided to follow the clues and venture into the Shenxiao Mountain Range.
Thus, the preceding events unfolded.
Regardless of everything, Li Yunjing wanted to join such a great sect.
Unlike Yu Yunyi, who comes from an eminent family with inherent advantages, Li Yunjing wandered the world, a vagabond.
A month ago, he acquired a Qi Cultivation Technique and clues about Shenxiao Dao Sect, making him cherish this opportunity.
Struck by lightning last night and undergoing a bodily transformation overnight, Li Yunjing inadvertently developed Qi Sensitivity.
Currently, Li Yunjing barely reached the first layer of Qi Cultivation Stage, just stepping into the cultivation realm.
Such cultivation naturally didn't impress the Yu Family.
Let alone the immensely profound young lady of the Yu Family, even Steward Li's abilities were beyond Li Yunjing's reach.
And the maids and accompanying knights around seemed to surpass Li Yunjing as well…
When everyone gathered to eat, seeing this scene, Li Yunjing felt slightly disheartened.
"The immortal path is long, and I shall strive upward and downward,"
Li Yunjing comforted himself and fiercely bit into some rabbit meat.
Unexpectedly, it tasted really good!
Almost as delicious as the wild game he had in a restaurant in his previous life.
Ling'Er, the little maid, not only had higher cultivation but was also a skilled cook!
The more time Li Yunjing spent with the Yu Family, the more reverence he felt.
Here, everyone was stronger than him.
This feeling was genuinely uncomfortable.
Roaming the world for three years, Li Yunjing had hardly encountered any cultivators.
After all, there is a distinct separation between mortals and immortals, and each realm has its own circles.
All these years, Li Yunjing thought he was invincible.
Only now did he realize that he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well.
"Feeling so defeated among the Yu Family, even inferior to a little maid!"
"Sigh! I only hope that upon entering Shenxiao Dao Sect, with diligent cultivation, I can gradually catch up to others."
Li Yunjing tasted a bite of grouse meat, contemplating his future plans.
As for being utterly defeated?
That's impossible!
He was strong in the past, strong now, and will be stronger in the future!
During the meal, through his conversation with Yu Yunyi, Li Yunjing gained a vivid understanding of the cultivation realm.
Knowing that Li Yunjing knew nothing, Yu Yunyi, being empathetic, explained the origins of the cultivation realm, the entire Great Ming Dynasty, loose cultivators, families, sects, and Shenxiao Dao Sect.
A lively world was vividly drawn in Li Yunjing's mind.
"So, the Great Ming Dynasty has so many immortal Dao sects and families!"
This is truly ignorance!
Li Yunjing couldn't help but smile self-mockingly.
Years ago, he even thought of visiting the Imperial Palace for fun.
Luckily, he didn't act on that thought!
It turns out the Ming royal family is guarded by cultivators, and even royal family members practice immortal cultivation!
Through the conversation, Li Yunjing realized that the Qi Refining Technique is nothing special.
It's the most widely circulated entry-level cultivation technique in the realm.
It's barely worth trading.
Almost all cultivators know this Qi Cultivation Technique.
Fortunately, the Yu Family members were kind and didn't mock him, giving Li Yunjing enough face.
This greatly increased Li Yunjing's favorable impression of the Yu Family.
After finishing their meal, the group rested briefly before packing up and continuing their journey.
Li Yunjing's treatment was still decent; he temporarily used the carriage he had previously rested in.
The carriage wheels were engraved with runes, ensuring a smooth ride even on rough mountain paths, making it very comfortable for the occupants.
Traveling with the Yu Family, the pressure was immense.
