Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Song Ling and Song Tai quickly packed their belongings, and in no time, they had finished packing all their luggage and walked out briskly.

With a smile, Song Ling said to Ye Yu and the others, "Let's set off while it's still early! Otherwise, the temperature will drop sharply after sunset, and the journey won't be as comfortable."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu and the others stood up and followed Song Ling and Song Tai out the door.

Along the way, Song Tai talked incessantly to Ye Yu about the various situations inside the Qianmen.

He gave a detailed introduction to the relationships between the characters in each sect, the rules and taboos, and some things that needed special attention.

The purpose is to help Ye Yu avoid detours when she first enters the world of intrigue, and to prevent her from suffering unnecessary trouble or being cheated because she doesn't understand the rules.

Ye Yu understood Song Tai's good intentions, so she listened attentively and nodded from time to time to show that she understood.

Before long, they arrived at the guard post of the hidden gate. Song Ling stepped forward and politely explained the identities and origins of Ye Yu and Cheng Jincheng to the guard.

Only after the guards carefully registered the relevant information did they enter the hidden door.

After entering the Hidden Gate, the group first had to pass through Ziyun Town, which was located along the way, before they could reach Yuzhang Mountain, where the Moyun Sect was located.

As soon as Ye Yu entered Ziyun Town, she turned to Song Tai and the others and said, "I'll stop here for now. You mentioned earlier that this is the largest town closest to the entrance of the Hidden Gate. I see that it's so lively here, and the architecture has a unique charm, so I plan to stay here for a few more days."

Song Ling nodded and said, "That's fine. Miss Ye can get used to the environment here first, and then it will be much more convenient for her to move around to other places."

Song Tai's eyes were slightly lowered, revealing a hint of undisguised loneliness. He slowly raised his head and said in a slightly deep voice, "Yan Wu, can't you come with us to Yu Zhang Mountain first? There is a large town at the foot of the mountain there, which is much more prosperous and lively than here. Moreover, it is very close to our sect, making it very convenient to travel back and forth."

Standing to the side, Ye Yu took in everything and naturally understood that Song Tai had most likely fallen for her.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how adorably naive this person was. Faced with such sincere and passionate feelings, she even felt a pang of guilt for continuing to deceive him.

Ye Yu turned her gaze to Song Ling beside her and said softly, "Brother Song Ling, could you wait a moment? I would like to speak with Song Tai alone for a few minutes."

Upon hearing this, Song Ling hesitated for a moment, but when he met Ye Yu's clear, watery eyes, he found no unusual emotions in them, only the calm and composure as one would show to an ordinary friend.

Almost instantly, Song Ling understood that Ye Yu had no romantic feelings for Song Tai; their relationship was purely a simple and sincere friendship.

Song Ling nodded slightly in agreement. Then he turned around, waved to Cheng Jincheng and the others behind him, and gestured for everyone to move forward first.

When Song Tai heard Ye Yu say that she wanted to have a few words alone, he couldn't help but let his mind wander. His heart was pounding like a drum, and his cheeks began to burn.

Ye Yu took out a small bottle and handed it to Song Tai, saying, "This is a pill I refined myself. Find a quiet place to take it and refine it properly. Your cultivation will be raised to the late stage of the Profound Rank."

What Ye Yu gave to Song Tai was a pill made from the Black Jade Lotus.

Song Tai happily accepted the bottle from Ye Yu, thinking that this was the first gift Yan Wu had given him, and he would definitely keep it safe.

He gripped the bottle tightly, suddenly realizing something was amiss. If he ate it, his cultivation would rise to the late stage of the Profound Rank.

"Did I hear that right? You said you refined this pill yourself, and that it will allow you to reach the late stage of the Profound Rank after consuming it?" Song Tai asked in surprise.

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "You don't believe me?"

Song Tai was indeed a little skeptical, but fearing Ye Yu's anger, he immediately replied, "I believe you! I just didn't expect your master to be so amazing, actually a master alchemist."

Ye Yu chuckled, "You must take this pill yourself, because the ingredients used to make it are extremely valuable. Don't waste my effort. Also, you absolutely cannot tell anyone that I made this pill; I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Song Tai was overjoyed again. Such a precious elixir, Yan Wu actually gave it to me as a gift, and even said it was her way of showing her love!

Ye Yu was afraid that Song Tai would be reluctant to eat it, so she emphasized again: "You should eat it as soon as you return to the sect, otherwise you will really waste my good intentions once the effects of the medicine wear off."

Song Tai gripped the bottle tightly and nodded, saying, "I'll eat it when I get back, even if it's poison... I'll swallow it whole, even if it's a pill made with our unique secret recipe."

Seeing this, Ye Yu said nothing more, and then told Song Tai to quickly go find his senior brother and return to the sect to report.

Song Tai wanted to talk to Ye Yu a little longer, but seeing that his fellow disciples were waiting for him and that he really needed to return to the sect to report, he could only turn back to Ye Yu every few steps and say, "You must come to Yuzhang Mountain to find me. When you do, just come to our sect and give them my name. I will let the disciples guarding the gate know."

Ye Yu waved to him, signaling him to leave quickly.

After Song Tai and the others left, Ye Yu headed towards the Hongyun Inn.

It was already late when Ye Yu entered the lobby of Hongyun Inn and happened to see Zhao Yuci carrying food upstairs to her room.

Ye Yu called out to him, "Zhao Ci, haven't you had dinner yet?"

Zhao Yuci didn't seem to be used to his new name. He carried the food upstairs without looking to the side.

Seeing his expression, Ye Yu shook her head and followed him to the door of the room.

The people inside seemed to hear footsteps and opened the door, where they saw Ye Yu standing behind Zhao Yuci.

Zhao Yuxuan opened the door with a smile, while Zhao Yuci, who was carrying the food, was a little puzzled as to why his older brother was showing him such a gentle expression. Then he heard Zhao Yuxuan say, "You're back? Have you had dinner?"

Zhao Yuci looked behind him and saw Ye Yu standing there. He asked in surprise, "Why didn't you call me when you were behind me?"

Ye Yu was speechless: "I clearly called you Zhao Ci, but you ignored me while carrying the food, and now you're blaming me for not calling you?"

Zhao Yuci was a little embarrassed, and laughed, "I didn't hear it, hahaha."

The two entered the house together and saw Gao Tao sitting at the round table. He was very happy to see Ye Yu return: "Yu... Yanwu, you're back? Did you finish your business?"

Ye Yu nodded and said, "Brother Gao, I've finished my business. Here's your card, please keep it safe." Ye Yu handed Gao Tao's card to him.

Gao Tao waved his hand and said to Ye Yu, "Keep the card for now. I'm not going out anyway, so it'll be convenient if you need to go out in case of any emergencies."

Ye Yu thought for a moment and then put the card away: "Then I'll keep it for now, thank you very much, Brother Gao."

“We don’t need to be so polite,” Gao Tao said.

Zhao Yuci placed the food he was carrying on the round table and said to Ye Yu, "Ye... Yanwu, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go get you another serving. You can make do with Gao Ge."

Ye Yu nodded and asked Gao Tao, "Brother Gao, why aren't you eating with them?"

"Hey! I'm afraid that if I go downstairs and swagger around, I'll attract those mad dogs from the Fierce Blade Hall and cause trouble for Brother Zhao and the others, so I'm hiding in this room," Gao Tao said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a plate of steaming hot food was placed in front of Ye Yu.

Ye Yu looked up and saw that Zhao Yuxuan had gone downstairs to bring her food at some point.

Ye Yu smiled sweetly at Zhao Yuxuan and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

As soon as she said that, Zhao Yuci rolled her eyes, while Zhao Yuxuan's earlobes turned slightly red as she said, "Eat quickly, don't go hungry."
