At the east gate of Fengqiao Town, Ye Ling said goodbye to the female cultivators of Fengchi Sect, politely declined the invitation of the Lu sisters, and walked through the bustling crowd towards Zhuque Street in Nanchengfang City.
The casual cultivators in Maple Bridge Town who gathered at the east gate did not leave Ye Ling because of his cold attitude. On the contrary, the news that Ye Ling had returned and advanced to the peak of the ninth level of Qi training was spread to ten people. Hundreds, word spread quickly, and monks kept coming after hearing the news, all coming to have a look at Master Ye Alchemy!
Ye Ling originally wanted to rely on his familiarity with Maple Bridge Town to use his wind control skills to walk through the streets and alleys and dodge the crowds, but then he thought again that it might not be a bad thing if they followed him.
Arriving at Zhuque Street, Ye Ling strolled into a small drugstore with the Meng's signboard. The monks who followed him stared at it with wide eyes, arousing various speculations.
"Look! Master Ye went into Meng's Pharmacy. Is he going to buy pills here?"
"Impossible! Ye Ling is a master of alchemy. What kind of elixir can't he refine? In order to prepare for the qi training disciple competition in the future, he should buy some top-quality spiritual grass and go back to refine it himself."
"Such a small medicine shop also sells the best spiritual herbs? I've never heard of it!"
"Don't you understand? Those big chambers of commerce and medium-sized pharmacies, Master Ye didn't pay attention to them at all. He didn't even look at them when he passed by. The fact that he can buy them at Meng's Pharmacy means that the medicinal herbs in this pharmacy are good! We will also buy here in the future.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and soon they all rushed into Meng's Pharmacy, scrambling to buy elixirs and spiritual herbs.
Little did they know that Ye Ling came here just to visit his old friend Meng Chang, to see that he was still so strong, strong, honest and straightforward. Sun Erhu was also his deputy in the medicine shop. Although the two people's cultivation had not improved much, but here Running a drug store is a pleasant life.
Meng Chang smiled naively: "Brother Ye's reputation is very high now. There is no monk in the entire Maple Bridge Town who doesn't know Brother Ye's name! I didn't expect that you would come to visit me just after you came back from Donglingze, haha."
At this time, many monks poured in, clamoring to buy elixirs and spiritual herbs, which kept Meng Chang busy for a while and did not bother to talk to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling summoned Sun Erhu and asked the Bao from Maple Bridge Town to find out which strong men had appeared in Maple Bridge Town as the competition was approaching recently.
"Hey, my subordinates heard from people that after training in Dong Lingze, many strong men at the ninth level of Qi training have emerged. In addition to the monks from the five major sects, there are many casual cultivators who have advanced, but none of them have senior brothers. Your reputation is high. In the opinion of my subordinates, it is absolutely natural for Senior Brother to reach the top five in the Qi Practicing Disciple Competition!"
Sun Erhu's eyes were full of respect for his senior brother, and he really complimented him.
Ye Ling didn't feel arrogant at all. He knew that his reputation was based on his two special identities of alchemy master and high-level pharmacist. What really made him stand out based on his strength was his defeat of Qu Yang, but one moment after another, in the past few months, Come on, all the qi training disciples are practicing in the later stage, just for the competition of qi training disciples in Fengqiao Town. It can be said that thousands of sails have passed, hundreds of teams compete, and the strong ones are indispensable!
"Do you know which evil cultivators, demon cultivators and even ghost cultivators who are in the Qi training stage have poured into Maple Bridge Town recently?" Ye Ling asked in a low voice.
Sun Erhu had a look of confusion on his face, shook his head vigorously, looked at the monks who were pouring into the store, and sent a message to Ye Ling's spiritual consciousness: "I have not inquired about this, but my subordinates have heard that Nan Sheng Tang Xiong, the leader of the sect, was very angry with Shang Junyi and the other three young masters of Nansheng who swore the inner demon oath to you. Especially the elder brother wanted to take away their Nanshengzong's weapon refining drawings, which offended the Nanshengzong even more. Now. It’s good that Senior Brother is back, as long as we watch out for them to stumble secretly during the competition.”
Ye Ling nodded in response and said with a slight smile: "When we were in the East Lingze Grand Canyon, I heard that Yuan Hao, the young master of the Yuan family, was missing. Did anyone in the Yuan family look for him?"
Sun Erhu immediately became interested and introduced with flying saliva: "This matter not only alarmed the Yuan Cultivation Family, but even the Jindan Elder Yuan Guangxi of the Tiandan Immortal Sect was very shocked. The Yuan family sent people to ask almost all of Dong Lingze All the monks who have experienced it just say that when the beast tide came, Yuan Hao led his servants to fight the beast tide. There was no trace of him anymore, and he should have been swallowed up by the beast tide and buried in the belly of the monster beast."
Ye Ling nodded calmly and felt relieved secretly. Seeing that Meng Chang was very busy on the cabinet in front of him, Ye Ling gave Sun Erhu a storage bag and said calmly: "There are a lot of spiritual herbs in here. I collected them all in Dong Lingze, and you gave them all to Meng Chang, and they will be run by the drug store, so they are considered gifts from me."
After that, Ye Ling walked away from the back door of the drug store.
Sun Erhu was slightly startled, opened the storage bag and scanned it with his consciousness, and couldn't help but gasped!
"Good guy, so many spiritual herbs! Enough for a pharmacy to sell for ten years, senior brother!"
Sun Erhu hurriedly chased him out of the back door, but Ye Ling was already gone.
Ye Ling went around to the teleportation array in Nanchengfang City, teleported directly back to Yaogu Sect without making any stop, and rushed to Yaogu Hall.
His arrival naturally exuded an astonishing evil aura, alarming the Yaogu Sect Master and the elders in the main hall, who all looked at him sideways.
"It turns out to be nephew Ye Xian! Such a strong blood evil spirit, haha, just come back!"
The elders couldn't help but feel happy. These days, as the competition of Qi training disciples in Fengqiao Town approaches, the sect leaders and elders of all major sects are very nervous, especially the weaker sects like Yaogu Sect. Among the monks who returned from Donglingze, only Zuo Boming has advanced from the ninth level of Qi training to the Great Perfection of Qi training, and may be able to compete in the competition. The other disciples are all mediocre, and the situation is really worrying.
Now that Ye Ling had returned in time, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief, as if the big stone weighing on their hearts had finally fallen to the ground, and they suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
The happiest person is Zhao Yuanzhen, the sect leader. He is most worried about Ye Ling's safety. This is the alchemy wizard with the highest alchemy talent in the Yaogu Sect for thousands of years. Once he falls, the consequences will be disastrous. He saw that Ye Ling was not only back safely, but his aura was much stronger than before!
In just one month, Ye Ling went from the eighth level of Qi training to the peak of the ninth level. This made Sect Master Zhao even more surprised. At the same time, he sighed helplessly: "Ye Ling, it seems that you have made up your mind. Participate in the Fengqiao Town Qi Training Disciple Competition, and use this opportunity to join the Immortal Sect, and you don’t want to stay in the Yaogu Sect?”
Ye Ling knew very well that if he stayed in the Yaogu Sect, he would be the next sect leader, which was what his master expected most, but he was destined to disappoint his master. Ye Ling nodded with a firm look: "Master's kindness, my disciple understands it. However, the road to immortality is long, I must search high and low, pursuing more longevity and a higher realm!"
