Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Zhao Shanyuan looked up abruptly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and shook his head, saying, "How easy is that? They most likely won't agree unless there are huge benefits involved."

A sly glint flashed in Ye Yu's eyes as she chuckled softly, "How about having them replace some of the sects within the Hidden Sect?"

Zhao Shanyuan stared wide-eyed at Ye Yu, utterly astonished by her idea. Not to mention the others, even he himself had never entertained such a bold notion.

He looked down at the martial arts manual in his hand, his mind filled with Ye Yu's experiences in the Hidden Sect, and when he thought of her amazing talent and skills, he couldn't help but feel a surge of impulse.

What if it really succeeds? Perhaps this is a rare opportunity that could allow the Zhao family to soar to new heights and create a new world for themselves.

Zhao Shanyuan took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and looked firmly into the distance, as if he saw hope for the future.

After much deliberation, he finally made up his mind, slapped his thigh hard, and shouted, "Alright! This old man will give it his all and see if I can carve out a new future for the Zhao family!"

He said to Ye Yu, "Tomorrow I'll invite a few other companies and see if they have the same guts as me. Hahahaha."

Seeing his grandfather and Ye Yu reach a consensus, Zhao Yuxuan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

After the matter was settled, Zhao Yuxuan and Ye Yu got up and left the hall, walking together towards the garden.

Zhao Yuxuan asked, "Where are you going next?"

Ye Yu stopped and looked into the distance, saying slowly, "I plan to go to Shanna Island. It has a beautiful and peaceful environment, perfect for cultivation." After saying that, she continued walking forward.

Zhao Yuxuan smiled slightly as she looked at Ye Yu and said softly, "Then I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu turned to look at Zhao Yuxuan, a half-smile on her face, her gaze fixed on him until she saw Zhao Yuxuan's ears gradually turn red, before she refused, "No need, I will be in seclusion to cultivate after I go to Shanna Island, and I won't go out unless there are special circumstances, so you don't need to worry about my safety. Besides, my uncle also needs your help."

Ye Yu knew that Zhao Yuxuan, as the next head of the Zhao family, bore important responsibilities and missions.

Zhao Shanyuan had been diligently nurturing him, so Zhao Yuxuan had to personally participate in this matter of uniting with other families.

As they spoke, Ye Yu took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Zhao Yuxuan, saying, "This contains two 'Rejuvenation Pills.' Taking them can rapidly improve your cultivation level, and if you encounter a bottleneck, you can even break through it in one fell swoop."

Zhao Yuxuan did not immediately take the medicine bottle, but asked her, "After you give me the pills, do you have any left for yourself? I can cultivate, but you... you should keep them for yourself."

Ye Yu smiled, finding Zhao Yuxuan somewhat adorable. She directly placed the medicine bottle into Zhao Yuxuan's hand, saying, "I have more here, so just take it."

Feeling Ye Yu's brief warmth, Zhao Yuxuan was reluctant to let go, but she still carefully tightened her grip on the medicine bottle and whispered, "Thank you, Ye Yu."

Ye Yu chuckled softly, her laughter as warm as the morning sun. She encouraged him, "Work hard in your cultivation, and next time we'll enter the Hidden Gate together."

These words seemed to give Zhao Yuxuan endless motivation, enabling him to cultivate even harder and continuously improve his strength so that he could catch up with Ye Yu and fight alongside her.

After saying that, Ye Yu turned and left, leaving behind a beautiful and determined silhouette.

Zhao Yuxuan stood there, quietly watching Ye Yu's figure gradually disappear into the distance. A strong fighting spirit was slowly rising within him. He wanted to prove himself with his actions and become someone Ye Yu could trust and fight alongside.

The next day, Zhao Shanyuan invited the heads of several other families to the Zhao family.

In the spacious and bright conference room, Zhao Shanyuan sat in the main seat, looking at everyone in front of him with a solemn expression.

He knew that the topic they were going to discuss today was of utmost importance, as it concerned whether they could achieve the seemingly unattainable goal in their hearts.

After everyone was seated, Zhao Shanyuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Gentlemen, I have invited you all here today because I have important matters to discuss."

Then he got straight to the point, telling everyone about Ye Yu and his plans, and proposing that they replace some of the sects in the Qianmen.

This proposal was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.

Everyone present looked surprised; they clearly hadn't expected Zhao Shanyuan to be so bold as to propose such an idea.

After all, the Hidden Gate has always been a mysterious and powerful entity; how easy is it to challenge it?

Ye Yu smiled slightly and recounted her experience of entering the Hidden Sect in detail, giving everyone a deeper understanding of the sect.

She used simple language to explain the various rules and sect divisions within the Hidden Sect, making the originally mysterious sect less intimidating.

After listening to Ye Yu's account, everyone suddenly realized that the Hidden Sect was not as scary as they had imagined.

Nevertheless, they still hesitated, because it concerned the future of the entire family.

Seeing this, Zhao Shanyuan took out several yellowed ancient books and gently placed them on the table.

“This is…” Wu Fan couldn’t help but ask.

Zhao Shanyuan smiled and explained, "This is a secret manual that Xiaoyu brought out from Qianmen." After speaking, he opened the ancient book, and dense text and diagrams came into view.

Upon seeing this precious martial arts manual, everyone couldn't help but show envy and longing in their eyes.

They knew that such a secret manual was a treasure coveted by any martial artist.

However, faced with such tempting conditions, everyone still hesitated. They knew that this matter was of great importance, involving the rise and fall of the entire family, so they had to think it over carefully.

Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Zhao Shanyuan decided to take another drastic measure.

He reasoned with them and appealed to their emotions, explaining in detail the many benefits of being able to enter the hidden gate.

He emphasized that as long as they are willing to join Qianmen, they can not only obtain more resources and support, but also significantly improve their family's status.

Hearing this, everyone finally began to waver. They understood that if they missed this opportunity, there might never be another chance.

Grandpa Ding lit his tobacco, took a puff, and said, "This plan is too risky. We haven't really understood the Hidden Sect, so we dare not make a decision."

Ye Yu understood his words, after all, just listening to her wouldn't be enough to make them trust her so much that they made a hasty decision.

She thought for a moment and said, "I understand everyone's concerns. It's really hard to judge if you've only heard me talk about it and haven't seen it with your own eyes. How about this, I'll be going to Qianmen again in a while. If everyone is willing, I can bring one person from each family in."

As soon as Ye Yu said this, the room fell silent. Old Master Ding kept blowing smoke rings and after a while said, "But you have already offended the people in Qianmen. How can you bring so many people in?"

“As I just said, there are many sects within the Hidden Sect. Although I have offended a few, I have also been on good terms with one or two. Besides, I’ve been wearing a mask since I went in, so no one has seen my true face. I also come and go as Yu Ye, so they don’t know my identity yet,” Ye Yu said.

Old Master Ding glanced at Bai Feng of the Feng Hua Sect and Wu Fan of the Wu family, both of whom showed interest in their eyes. He knew that they, like him, found Ye Yu's offer very attractive.

Bai Feng spoke first: "Alright, if Miss Ye Yu can bring people in and let them come out after some training, my Feng Hua Sect will support you."

Wu Fan cleared his throat and said, "For thousands of years, the Qianmen sect has been above us, and we have to offer them a lot of wealth and treasures every year. Now, I heard from Miss Ye Yu that not everyone in the sect is a master, but there are also many ordinary people. Why can't we be on equal footing with them? Why can't we even get help from the doctor?"

His words resonated with everyone. The Hidden Sect had always created a false image of invincibility, mystery, and power for them, forcing them to be subservient to the so-called envoy for thousands of years.

Each family has outstanding disciples, but their cultivation methods are monopolized by the Hidden Sect, so they cannot access the sect's secrets.

They're getting old, and now that the opportunity is right in front of them, why not give it a shot?

Finally, Grandpa Ding spoke up: "If young friend Ye Yu can keep his promise and bring the person in, we will support you."

He added, "However, shouldn't we share the secret manuals that Old Zhao has?"

Zhao Shanyuan smiled and pointed at Old Master Ding, saying, "You old man, you're quite shrewd with your calculations."

A satisfied look appeared on his face, and he laughed heartily, "Okay, I agree."

He raised his teacup, "Let us plan for the future generations!"

Everyone stood up to celebrate the family's future prosperity.
