Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

The morning sun shines into the room, signaling a new day.

Ye Yu exhaled a breath of stale air, opened her eyes, walked to the window, and looked down. The people in the town had already begun their busy day.

When she went out to the restaurant, she saw Yu Pei already sitting by the window eating breakfast.

Ye Yu casually grabbed some food and sat down opposite her.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Ye Yu, Yu Pei smiled and asked, "Ye Yu, did you sleep well last night?"

Ye Yu nodded: "I slept quite well. How about you?"

"I slept quite well. I was on tenterhooks these past few days, and I thought I would have nightmares, but last night I slept soundly without any dreams until dawn."

"It's probably because you subconsciously feel safe, and you've also been quite tired these past few days, so you're sleeping well."

Ye Yu then asked, "Are Brother Zhou and Brother Zhu still not awake?"

"Hey, stop talking about it. The two of them drank all night. It wasn't until this morning when the waiter was cleaning that they found them asleep on the table, so they were taken to a guest room to rest. They're still asleep now, I don't think they'll wake up until the afternoon."

Ye Yu nodded. It was normal for these two old friends to drink and catch up after so many years.

It seems we can only ask Zhu Deng about the situation at Changbai Mountain once they've sobered up.

Yu Pei turned to look out the window and said to Ye Yu, "After we finish eating, shall we go for a walk? It's a bit cold here, we need to buy some new clothes."

Ye Yu nodded in agreement.

After having breakfast, the two went out together.

They first strolled along the riverbank of the town. The river was shrouded in mist, like a fairyland, and many ducks were swimming happily.

Then we went to the market, where there were many local delicacies, as well as useful and fun items, and the prices were very reasonable.

After walking around, Ye Yu felt that the pace of life in this small town was very slow, like a paradise with a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere. She thought Zhao Jing would like it here.

When I have time in the future, I'll bring them here to stay for a few days.

The two shopped for a while. Yu Pei bought a lot of daily necessities and clothes, while Ye Yu only bought a down jacket as a token purchase.

Ye Yu didn't want to buy it. She had spiritual power protecting her, so she wouldn't feel hot or cold. But she didn't want to dress too specially, so she just pretended to.

When they returned to the guesthouse, Zhu Deng and Zhou Xueyang were already sunbathing in the courtyard.

Upon seeing the two return, Zhu Deng greeted them warmly, "Girls, have you finished sightseeing? What do you think of our town? Pretty good, right?"

Yu Pei said happily, "This town is wonderful. It's clean, quiet, and the environment is very beautiful. I really like it here."

"Haha, I'm glad you like it. We'll be staying here a while longer."

He asked the two of them to sit down together and poured them two cups of coffee.

Zhou Xueyang said to Ye Yu, "Little sister Ye Yu, Old Zhu already knows about your situation. Just stay here and take care of your business."

"Thank you very much."

Zhu Deng waved his hand and asked curiously, "Little Sister Ye Yu, Old Zhou praised you to the skies, saying you killed all those people in just a few swift moves. Is that really true?"

Ye Yu shook her head and chuckled, "Brother Zhou is praising me. I'm not that amazing."

“I’m absolutely not exaggerating. When I saw you make your move, I was so shocked that I stood there frozen in place.”

Ye Yu chuckled. Not wanting to attract too much attention, she changed the subject and asked, "Brother Zhu, have you always lived here?"

Zhu Deng knew that Ye Yu probably wanted to keep a low profile, so he didn't ask any more questions and replied, "I grew up here. I went away for more than ten years before, but I found that this place is still the best. So I used all my savings to open a guesthouse here, and I didn't expect the business to be so good."

"So you're very familiar with the terrain here?"

"Haha, to be honest, there aren't many people in this town that I know as well as I do. I've loved running around since I was a kid, and I've basically explored the entire Changbai Mountain area."

"Could you take me to Changbai Mountain? I really like the scenery here, and I'd like to camp for a day or two."

“I didn’t expect that Sister Ye Yu would have this hobby. I also like camping. Especially in another month, when it starts to snow here, the mountains will be covered in white. Camping in the mountains is so comfortable. But we can only camp at the foot of the mountain. There are many bears on the mountain. If we encounter them, it will be a big problem.”

Ye Yu nodded: "Then after lunch, I'll trouble you to take me around."

When Zhou Xueyang and Yu Pei heard that Ye Yu wanted to go for a walk in Changbai Mountain, they felt they had nothing else to do and expressed their desire to go with her.

Ye Yu felt it didn't matter if the two of them followed, since they were familiar with the terrain anyway.

After lunch, the four of them set off, wearing thick clothes.

Instead of buying tickets and taking the tourist route, Zhu Deng led the group to the other side of the road.

He explained, "Changbai Mountain is very large, and you don't necessarily have to go inside the scenic area. Some of the scenery outside is even more beautiful than inside the scenic area."

Ye Yu asked casually, "But you should only be able to enter Tianchi by buying a ticket, right?"

"Who said that?"

Zhu Deng looked smug: "I know a road that goes directly to Tianchi without needing to buy a ticket."

His words surprised Ye Yu greatly; she hadn't expected Zhu Deng to actually have some tricks up his sleeve.

Yu Pei exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Tianchi is a very famous tourist attraction; it should be fenced off, right?"

“Once, I was hiking up a mountain and accidentally twisted my ankle, falling down the slope. I couldn’t climb back up, so I thought of taking a detour back, and then I found a deserted path. I followed the path and found that I had actually arrived at the edge of Tianchi Lake.”

Ye Yu asked with curiosity, "Could you take us to see it?"

"Why not? I haven't told anyone about this path yet, so I'll take you there today."

Zhu Deng walked forward excitedly, and Ye Yu followed him all the way. She felt that this time she had really gone too smoothly. She had found a way to enter Tianchi without buying a ticket without breaking a sweat.

She had thought before that if she bought a ticket to enter the scenic area, the area around Tianchi Lake would be full of tourists, and she wouldn't have a chance to jump in.

However, when there are fewer people, the tour time is almost over, and the staff will take a headcount and let people leave.

Also, the Tianchi Lake will not be open when the environment is not good, so she won't be able to get in then.

Now that Zhu Deng has this route, she can enter and leave Tianchi at any time without being discovered.

After walking uphill for nearly four hours, they finally passed through the abandoned path that Zhu Deng had mentioned and were able to see the edge of Tianchi Lake, even more clearly than from the viewing platform.

However, they did not go in because there were many tourists, and if they went out through the side path, they would definitely be discovered by the tourists, so they returned the way they came.

After returning to the town, Ye Yu planned to set off the next evening.

She learned from Zhu Deng that a thick fog would descend on Changbai Mountain the next evening, and she would be able to enter Tianchi Lake under the cover of fog without being caught on camera.
