Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

After the Shen family left the hall, Ye Yu guessed that the four of them had something else to say to her.

She didn't move, just sat there enjoying her tea.

After exchanging glances, Grandpa Ding was the first to speak: "Congratulations to young friend Ye Yu on winning the championship of this year's competition."

Ye Yu kept smiling, waiting for his next sentence.

Sure enough, Old Master Ding then asked, "I wonder if young friend Ye Yu would be willing to make a deal with us?"

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow: "A trade? You are all top experts in the ancient martial arts world. How could I, a mere junior, be qualified to make a trade with you?"

"Hey, young friend Ye Yu, that's just modesty. Looking at all your matches, the Wu family's manipulation techniques are not as good as yours, you can see through the Feng Shui techniques of the Feng Hua Sect at a glance, and as for the witchcraft techniques of my Ding family, they are also completely exposed in your eyes. You can even restrain the Frost Palm of the Tiger Tail Sect, and your swordsmanship is also quite remarkable."

Grandpa Ding gave Ye Yu a big compliment.

Ye Yu asked directly, "You want me to exchange martial arts techniques?"

Wu Fan immediately replied, "That's exactly what I was thinking. We can do our best to satisfy whatever you want."

Ye Yu pondered for a moment and then asked, "I want to ask a question first."

"What's the problem? Please tell me."

"I want to know about the secret passage."

Ye Yu had only heard about the Hidden Sect from Zhao Yuxuan. Although Zhao Yuxuan hadn't told her anything, judging from his surprised expression, she guessed that this sect was no ordinary one.

Hearing Ye Yu's question, everyone was very surprised. Didn't Ye Yu's master tell her this?

Bai Feng asked directly, "Didn't your master tell you that?"

Ye Yu shook her head: "My master only taught me cultivation, and never told me anything else."

Zhao Shanyuan nodded: "Not telling you is actually for your own good, after all, that secret gate is extremely mysterious."

The crowd began to offer their explanations to her all at once.

"We don't know much about the Hidden Sect either, we only know that the Hidden Sect does not refer to a single sect."

"More than one sect?"

"Yes, it's more like a self-contained little world. I've heard that killing people inside the secret gate is not illegal, because hardly anyone can break in, and even if they do, they'll be immediately eliminated. Conversely, those who escape will also be eliminated."

After they finished speaking, they stared at Ye Yu, and Ye Yu knew that they thought her master was someone who had escaped from the Hidden Gate.

She pretended not to know and asked again, "If the people inside can't get out, how did you know?"

“Every year, the Qianmen sends an envoy to contact us. We need to provide them with certain herbs and some other items.”

Why should we provide them with these things?

"This is a rule passed down from our ancestors. There used to be three major sects and three major families, but one of the sects was wiped out overnight because it no longer wanted to provide items to the Hidden Sect."

Hearing this, Ye Yu roughly understood that the so-called Hidden Gate was probably a place built by people who were solely focused on cultivation. They generally did not come out, or were not allowed to come out.

She said, "You suspect that my master came from the Hidden Sect?"

Grandpa Ding nodded: "That's right. Only those from the Hidden Sect know more advanced cultivation methods. Our families are considered to have a complete lineage in the ancient martial arts world, but compared to the techniques you know, they are nothing."

Ye Yu leaned back in his chair, carefully considering the situation. It was impossible for them to learn his techniques; to learn them, one would first need to be a cultivator.

However, these major forces are also top-tier entities in the ancient martial arts world. If they can be used for my purposes, I can seek their help in the future.

Ye Yu searched his mind for some martial arts manuals he had seen in the mortal world in his previous life. Coincidentally, there were a few that were similar to the techniques of these families, and even higher level. Why not exchange these for them?

Ye Yu made up her mind and pretended to be very embarrassed: "If my master is someone who came from the Hidden Sect, then if I give these techniques to you, she will very likely be exposed."

Wu Fan immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we just want to improve our skills. Once you hand them over to us, we will definitely keep it a secret."

Ye Yu frowned again: "How about I go back and ask my master?"

Where is your master?

Ye Yu shook her head: "My master is a wanderer, and I don't know where she is, but she will take the initiative to contact me every two years. We will meet next year."

Bai Feng smiled and said, "How about this, you teach us the technique first, and then we will personally write you a promise, which you will give to your master after you meet him. If we break the promise, with your master's abilities, dealing with us will be no problem at all."

After hearing her say that, Ye Yu nodded with difficulty after a long while and agreed: "Okay. But I have one more condition."

"You said."

"I need you to do me three favors."

Zhao Shanyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me which three favors you're looking for?"

"First, I want you to send people to protect the Shen family, as well as my family."

Everyone nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and then looked at Ye Yu to ask her to go next.

Ye Yu spread her hands: "I haven't decided on the two favors I'll be doing next."

Grandpa Ding replied, "Alright, let us know when you've made up your mind, and we'll definitely help if we can."

Ye Yu smiled slyly: "Then I'll teach you half of the technique first, and after you help me next time, I'll give you the other half."

"But how long will it take for your busy schedule to end?"

Ye Yu smiled mysteriously: "It won't be long, at most next year."

Hearing her say that, the others reluctantly agreed.

Ye Yu asked the Ding family to prepare paper and pen. She sat at the table and thought for a while before picking up a pen and starting to write from memory.

Two hours later, she handed over the half of the exercise manual she had memorized to several people.

Wu Fan was the most excited. He handed Ye Yu the things that he had his servants prepare while she was writing, saying, "I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring much with me. Here are some herbs that we brought, as well as materials that the Wu family used to forge weapons."

He then took out a small token from his person and handed it to Ye Yu: "This is my Wu family's token. If you need anything in the future, you can give it to the store manager of Wu Ji Clothing, and they will do their best to help you."

Upon hearing the name Wu Ji Clothing, Ye Yu was somewhat surprised. This clothing brand was very famous in China, and she hadn't expected it to be owned by the Wu family.

She took the sign and thanked Wu Fan.

Bai Feng and Zhao Shanyuan also gave Ye Yu some gifts, which made Ye Yu suddenly rich.

Because she discovered that some of the gifts she received were exactly what she needed.
