Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Ye Yu is now dressed in the attire of the Jingxin Sect, so that she won't attract too much attention when walking around here.

She planned to look around first and find out which sect Xia Zhong belonged to, so as to avoid running into him.

Another person to watch out for is the Taoist-robed man's senior brother. The two of them received the mission together, and it's unknown whether his senior brother already knows that the Taoist-robed man is dead.

Ye Yu planned to strike first and kill his senior brother as well, to prevent the Taiyi Sect from sending people to investigate after he reported it.

She followed the path, heading in the general direction of the Taiyi Sect, which she had learned from Zhuo Jiao.

After walking for about four or five hours, Ye Yu sat down to rest by a river. He started a fire, took out the food he had prepared earlier from his storage ring, heated it up, and ate it with relish.

She was enjoying her meal when suddenly her mind stirred.

Ye Yu stopped what she was doing and focused her attention on the source of the noise. She found two women standing opposite each other at the waterfall formed downstream of the river.

They were dressed in dark purple and light blue dresses respectively, and before they could exchange more than a few words, they started fighting.

Ye Yu didn't want to get involved in these things, so she immediately put all the food into her storage ring, extinguished the fire, and quietly ran down the waterfall.

To reach the location of the Taiyi Sect, one had to pass by the area where the two women were. Therefore, Ye Yu kept her divine sense focused around them to avoid being discovered.

She held her breath and quickly overtook the two, but she vaguely heard the words "ageless beauty".

Ye Yu paused, guessing that the two women must be fighting over something.

A thought crossed her mind, and she stopped in her hurry to leave. Instead, she quietly moved to a small slope where she could hear the two talking and lay down to listen to their conversation.

"Fu Jinhua, I'll say it again, your man and I haven't done anything. You have to believe me." The woman in the blue dress had a hot figure, her brows slightly furrowed, and her voice sounded very soft.

"Hmph! Cao Yan, who are you trying to fool? That good-for-nothing knelt on the ground, crying and admitting that you two sleep together every few days, and in any place. Don't pretend anymore, everyone knows you're notoriously promiscuous and wanton. That good-for-nothing even went after you, whom a thousand men have ridden and ten thousand men have slept with. What use is that piece of trash to me? I would have kicked him out long ago. I'm chasing after you only for the sake of 'Keeping Beauty Persimmon'."

Fu Jinhua, dressed in a dark purple dress, spoke with disdain.

Cao Yan opened her eyes wide, her tone filled with confusion, and asked, "I don't know the whereabouts of the 'Persimmon of Beauty'? How do you think I do?"

Fu Jinhua rolled her eyes: "Don't look at me like that. There aren't any of those scoundrels here. And stop pretending. Two days ago, Li Dongwei woke up early in the morning to find his father lying in bed unable to move. When he asked, he found out that the old man had actually spent the night with you. He didn't expect him to be so useless and had a stroke. He also said that in order to please you, he told you the whereabouts of the 'Persimmon of Beauty'."

“The spy I planted in your house only heard that ‘Persimmon with a Beautiful Face’ was inside the waterfall, but he didn’t know which waterfall it was in, so I followed you, and I didn’t expect that I would actually follow the right one.”

Hu Jinhua glanced smugly at the waterfall below.

Cao Yan's face stiffened: "I didn't expect you to have planted a spy in the Li family."

Fu Jinhua said with a look of disgust, "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be a woman who eats all kinds of things, not even sparing an old man who is almost buried. Moreover, he even told you the whereabouts of the 'Persimmon of Youth,' and you directly caused him to have a stroke."

Having said all that, Cao Yan stopped pretending and chuckled, "It's normal for men and women to be intimate, who knew that old man Li would be so useless."

As soon as she finished speaking, her expression turned fierce, and she shot the hidden weapon in her hand directly at Fu Jinhua.

Fu Jinhua hurriedly dodged, cursing angrily, "You bitch, how dare you ambush me!"

Then came the sound of swords clashing. Judging from the sound, both of them were quick to act, and they were evenly matched.

Seeing the two make their move, Ye Yu quietly retreated while lying on the hillside.

Once she had retreated to a certain distance, she immediately turned around and ran towards the bottom of the waterfall cliff.

She wanted to take advantage of the time while the two were fighting to go to the place they mentioned and see what this "Persimmon with a Face" was that had caused them to fight.

A few minutes later, Ye Yu arrived at the bottom of the waterfall. She used her divine sense to explore and found that about 30 meters away from her location, there was a gap behind the curtain of water formed by the waterfall.

Without hesitation, she crossed the curtain of water, climbed upwards, and then crawled into the opening.

Although the opening was narrow, it was only two or three meters wide. Once you stepped out of the opening, the space inside became wider.

There are many herbs in sight, but most of them are quite ordinary, except that they are a bit older than the herbs found elsewhere.

She checked the surroundings and found no danger. She quickly put the herbs into her storage ring without even having time to carefully identify which herbs they were.

As Ye Yu walked along collecting herbs, she suddenly caught a faint, pleasant fragrance.

She followed the scent and saw a strangely shaped sapling, only two meters tall, growing in a crevice.

A dozen or so pale pink fruits, resembling persimmons, hung on the small tree. The fragrance became even stronger as they approached. When Ye Yu saw the fruits clearly, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She exclaimed, "This is... the Youth-Preserving Fruit!"

The Youth-Preserving Fruit has no effect on cultivation, yet it drives countless female cultivators mad.

Because it has an incredibly powerful function: it can permanently preserve a person's appearance at the time of consumption, and make them ten times more beautiful until they die.

Even in the cultivation world of the past, this fruit was extremely rare, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was priceless and unavailable.

Ye Yu stepped forward and carefully picked the fifteen fruits and put them into the jade box.

He thought to himself: The "youth-preserving persimmon" that the two women mentioned probably refers to the fruit that preserves youth. If they find out that the fruit has been picked, they will probably investigate thoroughly, and if the investigation leads back to him, that would be bad.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yu simply dug up all the fruit trees and put them into her storage ring, thinking that she could take them back later and see if she could continue to plant them.

She then concealed all traces of the herbs she had picked and the path she had walked until they were completely invisible before heading towards the opening.

Once out of the gap, Ye Yu didn't dare linger. He immediately leaped down to the bottom of the waterfall and ran in the opposite direction from where the two were fighting.

She ran all the way, and only stopped after more than an hour.

She had already left the two women far behind; they probably couldn't catch up with her.

Moreover, they only knew that there was a youth-preserving fruit there, but they weren't sure if it really existed. If they went in and found nothing, they would probably just assume that the information was wrong.
