Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

After sorting through the love-hate relationships between the several families, Ye Yu asked, "Is the Tiger Tail Sect Master that powerful? Why are so many people eager to become his disciples?"

"Tiger Tail Sect is a well-preserved sect with many experts, especially the sect leader, who is said to have reached the early stage of the Earth Rank."

"Early stage of Earth Rank? That's equivalent to the seventh level of Qi Refining!" Ye Yu's pupils shrank.

"Yes, there was another sect competing with them for resources before. The sect leader of that sect had the cultivation of the late stage of the Profound Rank, but he was easily killed by the sect leader of the Tiger Tail Sect. So people speculate that he must have the cultivation of the early stage of the Earth Rank."

"What are the cultivation levels that follow the Profound Rank and the Earth Rank?"

Shen Xing and Zhang Xiangyu looked at Ye Yu with great surprise when they heard her question.

Zhang Xiangyu asked, "You're already at the peak of the late Yellow Rank, how could you not know about cultivation rankings?"

Ye Yu remained calm and composed: "My master never told me anything. She only taught me cultivation, and never told me anything else."

Shen Xing took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "It's no wonder we're so surprised. In the world of ancient martial arts, even a three-year-old knows that ancient martial arts cultivation is divided into four major stages: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow."

"Each of these can be further divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and late peak stage."

Ye Yu nodded, finally confirming her guess. According to them, she was already at the early stage of the Profound Rank.

She then asked, "Are there many ancient martial arts schools in China?"

"Among the ancient martial arts sects in China, the three most powerful families are the Tiger Tail Sect. Because they have the richest cultivation resources, many small families and sects want to become their disciples."

"Abundant cultivation resources?" Ye Yu asked subconsciously.

"Yes, in order to ensure peace in the ancient martial arts world, they take turns being in charge every five years to handle all matters, big and small. In the past few years, the Tiger Tail Sect was in charge, which is why our Shen family dared not speak out against them."

Shen Xing suddenly sneered: "But they won't be anymore after this year. This year happens to be the five-year leadership transition meeting."

"A leadership transition meeting?"

This time, Zhang Xiangyu explained to her: "This is a tradition in the ancient martial arts world. Every time there is a change of leadership, the next leader will offer generous prizes for young people under the age of 20 to compete. The winners will receive the prizes, and the top three will have the opportunity to become his disciples."

“Yes.” Shen Xing added, “I heard that the Ding family’s prizes this year are very generous. Not only is there a mysterious herb that was previously discovered in the dark waters, but there is also a Dragon Bone Pill and a Nine Heavens Lingzhi. Most importantly, the first place winner can enter their treasure vault and choose one item.”

"These are all good things. Mysterious herbs can regenerate flesh from bones, Dragon Bone Pills strengthen the meridians and physique, and Nine Heavens Lingzhi is said to restore one's internal energy instantly. Through generations of accumulation, their treasure trove contains quite a few good things."

Shen Xing sighed as he said this: "It's a pity that our Shen family no longer has this opportunity. The most outstanding child in our clan has now become a cripple."

After saying that, he suddenly looked at Ye Yu: "Ye Yu, you can participate. You are already at the peak of the late Yellow Rank at such a young age, and you are not even 20 years old. Even among the two major sects and the three major families, there are few who can compete with you."

Ye Yu was very interested in the prizes from the Ding family that had just been mentioned.

She is now eager to improve her strength, and she doesn't want to miss out on anything that can help her.

"Teacher, how long will this leadership transition meeting take?"

Shen Xing filled her teacup with water: "The specific time hasn't been set yet. They will distribute invitations door-to-door, and only those who receive an invitation can attend."

At this point, Shen Xing smiled slyly: "If you want to participate, you can use one of our Shen family's spots."

Ye Yu was speechless. However, she had no connections in the ancient martial arts world, and if she really wanted to participate, she could only rely on the Shen family.

Although there's a saying that it's good to have a big tree to lean on, large sects and families have many rules and regulations, which can make them quite restrictive.

If I can make it into the top three, I'll give this spot to the Shen family.

Thinking of this, Ye Yu nodded in agreement: "Teacher, I want to participate. If you receive an invitation, please let me participate in the competition in the name of the Shen family. If I am lucky enough to make it into the top three, please give the spot to a member of the Shen family."

Shen Xing was drinking tea when he heard Ye Yu's words and coughed. He didn't care about anything else and quickly assured Ye Yu, "We will inform you as soon as we get the invitation."

"But why don't you want to become a disciple of the Ding family?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I already have a master. I only went to the leadership transition meeting to try and get those prizes," Ye Yu explained.

After hearing this, Shen Xing did not ask any further questions.

The three of them sat in the office and talked for a while longer before the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Ye Yu stood up, thanked Shen Xing, and left the office first.

After Ye Yu left, Zhang Xiangyu asked, "Uncle Xing, did you deliberately bring up the leadership transition meeting with Ye Yu?"

Shen Xing looked at Zhang Xiangyu with a half-smile: "Are you blaming me?"

"I don't mean to blame you, it's just that although Ye Yu is powerful, those families are full of talented people, and the Zhao family alone is not to be underestimated. I'm afraid of her..."

"Hmph, brat. Who do you think your Uncle Xing is? I told Ye Yu so much, and she listened without batting an eye. Besides, given her cautious nature, she wouldn't attend the leadership transition meeting without being confident. It's a mutually agreeable matter, so what are you worried about?"

After hearing what he said, Zhang Xiangyu stopped talking.

Shen Xing softened his tone and advised, "Xiang Yu, our Shen family is already in a weakened state. If we don't use this leadership transition competition to reverse our decline, our Shen family will fall apart. And your situation in the Zhang family will become increasingly difficult."

Zhang Xiangyu rubbed his face a few times: "Uncle Xing, I know you have high hopes for Ye Yu and want her to break into the top three in the name of the Shen family. And knowing that she has a master, she definitely doesn't want to switch schools again, so she will definitely give the spot to the Shen family. If someone from the Shen family enters the Ding family, the Qi family will also be more wary."

"It's good that you understand. This is the last resort."

The two were still talking in the office, and Ye Yu, leaning against the wall not far from the office, could hear them clearly.

Shen Xing is right; it's a mutually agreeable arrangement. Ye Yu used the Shen family to secure a spot in the competition, and the Shen family used her to bolster their reputation—it's a good arrangement.

After listening to their discussion of other things, Ye Yu turned and walked towards the classroom.

Summer is here in the blink of an eye, and the college entrance examination is just around the corner.

Zhang Xiangyu transferred schools before the exam, and he even made a special phone call to Ye Yu before leaving.

After his grandfather returned to Kyoto and learned about what his father had done, he was furious and sent someone to bring him back.

Ye Yu simply offered her congratulations and told him to keep the invitation to the leadership transition meeting in mind.

On the last day before the exams, the school gave Ye Yu and the others a day off so they could go home and relax and be ready to take the exams the next day.

At home, Lu Zhuofeng and Xu Jia both returned from Kyoto. Zhao Jing said that the whole family takes Ye Yu to the exam every day.

For this reason, she also commissioned several cheongsams, symbolizing a successful start.

Most importantly, we also want to benefit from Lu Zhuofeng's status as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Although everyone knows that Ye Yu has excellent grades and has always been first in her grade at school.

However, there's a concern that she might not perform well in the college entrance exam, so it's still necessary to have Lu Zhuofeng come back to oversee things.

Ye Yu could only express her helplessness in the face of this.
