Chen Youli came in and said to Ye Jingwen, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, is the person you mentioned a cultivator from Mount Qingmeng's Ye Family?"
Ye Jingwen nodded. "Yes.
Senior Martial Brother Chen, have you heard about him? "
Chen Youli smiled. "Yes, he bought something from our shop not long ago."
"Oh?" Ye Jingwen was pleasantly surprised. "When did that happen? Where did he go?"
Chen Youli said, "About a month ago, he came to our shop with a friend. From their conversation, one of them was a cultivator from Mount Qingmeng's Ye Family, and the other was also from a cultivation family. His surname was Lu.
They seemed to be close friends, and the cultivator surnamed Lu came to see Ye Jiang off.
As for where he went after that, we don't know. "
Ye Jingwen thought for a moment and understood what happened.
When Martial Uncle Shoujing asked his disciples to gather information, he learned that Ye Hai went missing on Demonic Mountain. A few years later, other cultivation families from Mount Qingmeng came to bully them and wanted to drive them out of Mount Qingmeng's spirit veins.
The only cultivator left in the Ye Clan was Ye Hai's younger brother, Ye Jiang. This Ye Jiang was not as talented as Ye Hai and could only barely cultivate to the Foundation Building realm. How could a Foundation Building cultivator fight against those clans that had Core Formation cultivators?
Ye Jiang had no choice but to send all the mortals in his family to the secular world, separating them from the cultivation world and letting them enjoy glory and wealth in the secular world while he himself became an individual cultivator.
He was already old, so he no longer thought about advancing and only traveled around. The last time he was seen was near Mount Qingmeng.
Chen Youli saw him thinking, so he suggested another idea. "Junior Martial Brother Ye, they're very familiar with each other. As far as I know, there's also a cultivation family surnamed Lu in Mount Qingmeng. That cultivator surnamed Lu might be from that family. How about you go to the Lu Family and ask?"
Ye Jingwen didn't have any other way, so he thought this idea was feasible. He said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Martial Brother Chen.
May I ask where the Lu Family is?
What does that cultivator surnamed Lu look like? What's his cultivation level like? "
Chen Youli stroked his beard. "The Lu Family is located on the west side of Mount Qingmeng. Junior Martial Brother, if you see a mountain shaped like a palm, that cultivator surnamed Lu will be there.
According to the disciple who received him, that cultivator surnamed Lu is also in the Foundation Building realm like Ye Jiang. They look about the same age, and it seems he also doesn't have long to live. "
Ye Jingwen nodded and stood up. "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen. I'll leave now. Goodbye."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Chen Youli shook his head repeatedly. "Since we're from the same sect, this is what I should do.
Junior Brother, have a safe journey. "
Ye Jingwen cupped his hands to bid farewell. He then led Mo Tiange out of the market square, got on his flying sword, and continued on their journey.
"Big Brother Ye, are we going to Mount Qingmeng?"
"Yeah, go find someone to ask about your uncle. You'll be able to find him soon."
Mo Tiange hesitated for a moment before she raised her head and asked, "Big Brother Ye, why must my uncle leave Mount Qingmeng?
Is it because he can't beat others? "
Before answering, Ye Jingwen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he told the truth: "You should know that the cultivation world is a world where strength is respected. Spirit veins, cultivation techniques, and natural treasures are all obtained by those who are capable.
The spirit vein of Mount Qingmeng is quite good, so it was divided among the cultivation clans. If you don't have the corresponding ability, you won't be able to enjoy this benefit. "
"Just like Li Yushan?"
She muttered to herself, "Because he's stronger than me, I can only listen to him. If I'm stronger than him, I can make him listen to me, or even kill him!"
Ye Jingwen didn't answer for a long time.
He remembered when he entered the school when he was a child. Because he didn't have a backer, he was always bullied by high-level disciples.
Later, he cultivated diligently every day and finally shone brilliantly in the school's minor competition. From then on, he became Master Daoist Qingyuan's disciple. From then on, he was a cut above the others. Those who bullied him in the past sent him gifts to apologize and changed their arrogance.
He also remembered this little girl's background. Both her parents were dead, and there was no one who loved her in that family in the secular world. Moreover, she had a Pure Yin Constitution. It could be imagined that if people found out about this, she wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life …
He sighed and said, "Yes, only when you're strong enough can you control your own fate. Otherwise, it'll be decided by others."
Mo Tiange nodded calmly. "I understand."
At this moment, a tall mountain appeared under their feet.
This mountain was more than a thousand feet high and had several peaks that pierced the clouds. It was surrounded by spiritual aura, a sea of clouds, and a lush green mountain. It seemed to live up to its name as a celestial mountain.
Ye Jingwen circled the mountain on his sword. Sure enough, he saw a mountain on the west side that looked like a giant palm. The top of the mountain was like five fingers, and there was a pavilion in the center of the palm.
He took a look and flew towards that place.
As soon as the two of them landed, they saw an Aura Refining cultivator coming to greet them. "Greetings, Senior."
Ye Jingwen uttered an "en" then asked, "Are you from Lu Clan?"
This cultivator was only in the second layer of the Aura Refining realm, but he seemed to be about fifty years old. Apparently, his aptitude was poor and he had no hope of advancing, so he was specially here to welcome guests.
Although this cultivator's cultivation level was low, he was very discerning. When he saw Ye Jingwen's clothes were embroidered with Taiji clouds, he immediately recognized him as a disciple of Xuanqing School. Moreover, he was already in the Foundation Building realm at such a young age, so he must be an elite disciple. Thus, he was very polite. "Yes.
May I know Senior's distinguished name and why you've come to visit Lu Clan? "
Ye Jingwen said, "I'm Ye Jingwen, a disciple of Xuanqing School. I came here to look for someone."
"Oh?" The old man asked enthusiastically, "May I know who Senior is looking for?
As long as I know him, I'll definitely tell you everything I know. "
Ye Jingwen also bluntly said, "The person I'm looking for should also be a cultivator of your Lu Clan. His cultivation level is in the Foundation Building realm, and his appearance and age are about the same as yours."
"Do you have a name?"
"I don't."
"This …" An awkward expression appeared on the old man's face. "To be honest, although Lu Clan isn't a big clan, we still have about ten Foundation Building cultivators, and there are also six or seven people who match your age … May I know why Senior is here?"
He didn't have a name, so he obviously wasn't an acquaintance. Moreover, he only had an approximate age. The old man looked at Ye Jingwen with a bit of vigilance. He was obviously worried that Ye Jingwen had come to seek revenge.
How could Ye Jingwen not know? He immediately took out a jade bottle from his robe and said, "I'm looking for someone because I want to ask him about another person. If you can find that person, here are ten Aura-Nourishing Pills as a reward."
Looking at the jade bottle, the old man couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
Although Aura-Nourishing Pills were the most common medicinal pills for Aura Refining cultivators, it wasn't easy for a small cultivator like him to obtain them. Moreover, there were ten of them, and Lu Clan was only allocated one every month.
He immediately smiled and said, "Senior, please come in and take a seat."
Ye Jingwen showed a faint smile. He led Mo Tiange into the guest room, where spiritual tea was immediately served.
"May I know where Senior heard about this person? I'll analyze it with you. Maybe I can figure it out."
Ye Jingwen said, "About a month ago, this person and a friend came to the market square at the foot of the mountain in Xuanqing School's shop."
"Oh?"
The old man thought for a while then said, "Apart from the Foundation Building seniors of my Lu Clan who are cultivating in Closed Door Meditation and not at home … I think I know who they are."
Upon seeing his gaze, Ye Jingwen threw the jade bottle in his hand. "That being the case, I'll have to trouble you to introduce me."
The old man was overjoyed when he caught the bottle and said, "Senior, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."
