Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Ye Yu led the group back to Ziyun Town, which was still bustling and lively. The streets were lined with antique buildings, shops, and throngs of pedestrians, with shouts and calls rising and falling, creating a lively atmosphere.

They randomly chose a guesthouse to check into and had breakfast there.

Ye Yu said to everyone, "I need to go out of Qianmen again. You all can wander around here and gather some information. I will come back to find you by tomorrow at the latest."

Hearing Ye Yu say this, Zhao Yuxuan asked, "Do you still have things to take care of?"

"Yes," Ye Yu replied, "I promised someone that I would meet with them. They should be disciples of a major sect here. I originally planned to bring you in with them, but things happened so suddenly that I had to bring you in first."

"Then why not wait until they come in before meeting them? Why go out to meet them instead?" Zhao Yuci asked.

Ye Yu thought to herself: I can't possibly tell you that I lied to people, can I?

She said, "Don't ask so many questions. You can walk around and explore the area. We'll talk about everything when I get back."

After Ye Yu finished speaking, she stood up, and Zhao Yuxuan, who was sitting next to her, also stood up and said, "I'll see you out."

The two walked outside, and Ye Yu said to Zhao Yuxuan, "These next two days, please keep a close eye on them and make sure they don't cause any trouble."

Then she handed another bottle to Zhao Yuxuan and whispered, "These are pills I made from the Black Jade Lotus. I haven't had time to give them to you until now. There are two pills in here. Take them with Zhao Yuci when you have time. This will ensure that you successfully advance to the Earth Rank, and that Zhao Yuci can advance to the late Profound Rank."

This time, Zhao Yuxuan didn't hesitate and took the bottle directly, saying, "I'll take care of things here. Be careful."

He knew very well that there were many experts here, and if he didn't improve his strength as soon as possible, he wouldn't be able to help Ye Yu, but he might even become a burden to him.

"Okay, then I'll be going now." Ye Yu was unaware of Zhao Yuxuan's thoughts. After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the town.

She left Ziyun Town again, and just as she was about to reach the exit of the hidden gate, she encountered a fight ahead, with seven or eight people attacking one person.

Ye Yu hadn't intended to pay any attention to them and was trying to quickly pass by the crowd when she saw that the person being attacked was dressed in tattered clothes and covered in blood.

He was already at his limit. After being kicked from behind, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Just as one of them was about to slash at him with a large knife, Ye Yu 'whooshed' out bone needles. The seven or eight people were caught off guard and instantly fell to the ground, each with a bloody hole between their eyebrows.

Lying on the ground, Gao Tao waited in despair for the broadsword to fall, but he heard a series of thuds as people around him collapsed to the ground.

He forced his eyes open and saw that the Fierce Blade Hall members who had been chasing him were all lying on the ground, each with a bloody hole between their eyebrows, and they were all dead!

How is this going?

Gao Tao propped himself up and sat up, wanting to see what was going on. Just then, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Brother Gao, why is it that both times I've seen you, you've been fighting with someone?"

Ye Yu really didn't expect to run into Gao Tao here, and it was as if the scene was repeating itself, with Gao Tao fighting with someone and her saving him once again.

Gao Tao, who was sitting on the ground, turned his head and saw that the person who came was Ye Yu. He immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Yu Ye, is it really you? I heard that Taiyi Sect, Deyi Valley, the auction house and Madam Fu were looking for you a while ago. How can you still stand here so casually? Quick, hide!"

After saying that, Gao Tao patted his chest and coughed repeatedly.

Ye Yu helped him to sit down behind a large tree not far away before saying, "They don't know my true appearance, Brother Gao, don't worry."

Hearing Ye Yu say this, Gao Tao felt a little relieved and said, "That's good. You don't know, but many people were searching for your whereabouts back then, and the most enthusiastic were from Deyi Valley. There were rumors that the Valley Master Xia Zhong was killed by you, and that the Valley Master's daughter witnessed it herself. Is that true?"

Ye Yu nodded and said, "I did kill him!"

When Gao Tao heard Ye Yu say this, his eyes showed admiration. He said, "Xia Zhong is a rare master. The fact that you were able to kill him means that your cultivation is even higher than his."

At this point, Gao Tao burst into laughter: "Then I won't need to look for you anymore."

Hearing him say that, Ye Yu asked curiously, "Brother Gao, why did those people attack you?"

Gao Tao sighed and said, "After you took Mengting and me home that time, not long after, the Fierce Blade Hall came knocking on our door. In order to protect me, the He family went to the Moyun Sect for help, but the Fierce Blade Hall only agreed not to cause trouble for the rest of the He family. They are domineering, unreasonable, and tyrannical to begin with. In order not to implicate the He family, I severed ties with them and ran away. After that, I heard that those families were searching for you everywhere, so while I was secretly looking for your whereabouts, I also spread some false information about you, trying to muddy the waters even more."

"I noticed that so much time has passed and they still haven't found you. I also heard that you killed Xia Zhong not far from the exit of the Hidden Gate, so I guessed that you might have already left the Hidden Gate and wanted to go out and see the outside world. I was just unlucky today. I was almost at the exit when these mad dogs actually chased after me."

At this point, Gao Tao cheered up again: "But I can't say I'm unlucky, because I ran into you, and you saved me again, hahaha!"

Ye Yu also smiled and said, "Brother Gao, you guessed right. I did leave Qianmen back then, and I have something to take care of when I came back this time. But now I'm not called Yu Ye anymore, I'm called Ye Yanwu. Brother Gao, please remember not to call me by the wrong name."

"Haha, Yanwu, don't worry, I won't call you by the wrong name." After laughing, Gao Tao asked, "But I just saw you walk in the direction of the exit of the secret gate? Didn't you say you had something to do when you came in?"

After speaking, Gao Tao coughed again, and the wounds on his body that were about to dry up were reopened by the vibrations of his cough.

Ye Yu took out two Gathering Yuan Pills that she had refined earlier and handed them to him, saying, "Brother Gao, take one pill first, and then take the other one after your wounds have healed. You are currently at the early stage of the Profound Rank. After taking these two pills, you can be guaranteed to advance directly to the late stage of the Profound Rank."

Gao Tao subconsciously took the pill Ye Yu handed him, but after a long while, he realized what was happening and hurriedly pushed it back, saying, "No! Yu... Yanwu, this is far too valuable. I can't accept it. You should keep it to improve your cultivation. Otherwise, with so many people looking for you here, what if... you'll have trouble dealing with them?"

Although Gao Tao deeply desired this kind of elixir that could enhance his cultivation, he had his own principles. Given his relationship with Yu Ye, this kind of thing was far too precious.

Ye Yu did not accept the pill, but said, "Brother Gao, please don't refuse. I consider you a friend since you've done so much for me. Besides, I still need your help with something. If you don't accept it, I'll feel embarrassed to ask again."

Seeing that Ye Yu didn't respond, and hearing what she said, Gao Tao stopped refusing and put the pill away, saying, "Then I won't be coy anymore. We're friends, so if you need any help, just say so. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely do it."
