Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

The rest of the Shen family were extremely surprised that Ye Yu had successfully replaced her inner core.

It should be noted that even the renowned physician Zhang from the ancient martial arts world was helpless against Shen Yunchuan's injuries.

Ye Yu, a young girl, actually helped Shen Yunchuan recover to his former state in just two or three days.

They all secretly inquired about Ye Yu's background from Zhang Xiangyu, but unfortunately, Zhang Xiangyu didn't know either.

After returning to her room, Ye Yu stayed inside to recover her spiritual energy. She didn't open her eyes until Shen Yunling knocked on her door the next day.

After having breakfast at the restaurant with Shen Yunling, they prepared to leave.

Originally, Shen Conglin was supposed to lead everyone to the leadership transition meeting, but he has now given his inner core to Shen Yunchuan and needs to recuperate.

So it was changed to Zhang Xiangyu's third uncle, who was also Shen Yunling's father, Shen Congxing, who led the team.

Those traveling with them included Ye Yu, Shen Congxing and his daughter, Shen Xing, Shen Yunjin, and Zhang Xiangyu.

Ye Yu and Shen Yunling participated in the competition, while Shen Yunjin and Zhang Xiangyu were there to observe and learn.

The group took a plane directly to Qianwuzhou.

Qianwuzhou is the region with the highest concentration of Miao people in China. It boasts beautiful natural scenery, unique landscapes, and many cultural attractions with a long history.

The group left the airport, transferred to cars, and continued their journey to their destination.

The vehicle slowly drove towards areas with high pedestrian traffic, and finally stopped at a famous scenic spot.

Seeing Ye Yu's surprised expression, Shen Xing explained to her, "The Ding family has lived in this Miao village for generations, so this election meeting is being held here."

"Are the Ding family Miao people?"

"Yes. They are skilled in witchcraft and sorcery, with their poisonous Gu being the most famous."

Shen Congling wrinkled her nose and said, "Sister Ye Yu, let me tell you, they love raising those disgusting things. I saw one once before, and just one look at it made me unable to eat anything for a whole week."

Shen Congxing looked at his daughter with amusement and said to Ye Yu, "Their poison can always be planted in people without them realizing it. If the person infected by the poison doesn't have an antidote or can't be forced out, they can only be manipulated by others. So we have to be careful when dealing with them."

Ye Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

The group, carrying their luggage, joined the queue of tourists to buy tickets.

She found it somewhat amusing. She had assumed the ancient martial arts leadership transition would be held in secret, but instead they found themselves in a touristy area with many visitors, where they had to queue to buy tickets.

The Miao village where the Ding family lives is a collection of more than ten natural villages built along the mountainside, forming a paradise-like village.

After entering the village through the ticket check, the noise level increased even more, and the roadside was lined with various specialty snack shops and photography studios.

There were also many girls taking photos in Miao ethnic costumes along the way.

Shen Yunjin and Shen Yunling looked very tempted and probably wanted to wear the beautiful clothes for the photoshoot as well.

After walking halfway up the mountain, the group found a place to stay, checked in, and then returned to their respective rooms.

Not long after Ye Yu returned to her room, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and saw Shen Yunling and Shen Yunjin smiling at her.

Shen Yunling said, "Sister Ye Yu, let's go for a walk."

Before she could answer, the two of them each took one of her arms and half-dragged her out the door.

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I saw Zhang Xiangyu leaning against the door frame, with two girls peeking at him from a distance.

Seeing Ye Yu and the other two come out, he straightened up and led the way out.

There was a lot of delicious food in the Miao village, and the group ate quite a bit as they walked around.

After eating and drinking their fill, the Shen sisters headed straight to the photography studio to choose their favorite outfits.

Seeing that Ye Yu was still standing still, Zhang Xiangyu asked, "Aren't you going to take a couple of pictures? I think you girls really like them."

Ye Yu shook her head: "I'm not going to film it, it's pretty boring."

Zhang Xiangyu smiled and said, "Then I'll show you around."

After saying that, he went over to greet the Shen sisters and then took Ye Yu for a stroll around.

The Miao village is full of wooden stilted houses, which rise and fall with the terrain, layer upon layer, extending all the way to the top of the mountain.

The lights gradually came on, creating a beautiful pointillist painting that brought Ye Yu a long-lost sense of ease.

She asked, "Why are there two people following you?"

Zhang Xiangyu chuckled: "You found out after all. They were sent by my grandfather to protect me, in case the Qi family and the Tiger Tail Sect took the opportunity to attack me. And he's here too."

What's your grandfather doing here?

"They are here to watch the game on behalf of the officials."

"Will the authorities get involved?"

"Yes. China has always been paying attention to matters in the ancient martial arts world. However, they don't easily interfere, as it is a kind of cultural heritage. My grandfather and the others just watch according to tradition."

Ye Yu understood, and at the same time, she felt even more admiration for the leaders of China.

They strolled around for quite a while, until the city lights came on, before returning to the photography shop to find the Shen sisters and heading back to the inn together.

The next morning, after everyone had finished getting ready, they headed towards the top of the mountain in the village.

They walked through the crowd to the highest point before stopping at the entrance of a wooden house.

There were four guards at the entrance, all of whom were highly skilled individuals who kept their auras concealed.

Just as Shen Congxing was about to step forward, another group of people surrounded him.

One of the men, with medium-length hair, passed Shen Congxing and handed the invitation to the gatekeeper.

The man opened the package, glanced at it, and immediately put on a fawning smile: "So it's the Wu family. The old master has been asking where the Wu family members are. I wonder if Old Master Wu has come this time?"

"The old man stayed at home and did not come. This time, it was Uncle Wu who led the team."

"It turns out that it was Grandpa Wu leading the team personally. Please come in, please come in."

The man with medium-length hair turned around, walked to the middle-aged man who was leading the Wu family, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The man nodded and led the Wu family into the courtyard.

One of the girls, with bangs and pigtails, caught Ye Yu's attention.

She was the girl who attacked Ye Yu when she tried to steal herbs in the cave, but ended up getting hurt by her instead.

Ye Yu immediately became alert. The Wu family was one of the three major families, and even the eldest patriarch of the Wu family, who was the leader, was no ordinary person. It was best not to expose herself.

She was also glad that she was wearing a hat and a mask at the time, so the Wu family should not have recognized her.

Once the Wu family members had all approached the courtyard, Shen Congxing stepped forward and handed the invitation to one of them, saying, "The Shen family has come to participate in the competition."

The man took the invitation, opened it and looked through it for a while, then returned it to Shen Congxing. He was completely devoid of his previous obsequious manner and said in a calm tone, "Go in."

Shen Congxing put away the invitation, thanked everyone, glanced at the crowd, and took the lead into the courtyard.

Entering the courtyard and passing through the hall, there was an open space behind it.

Further on, a cliff came into view.
