At that time, in the Duanren Sect, Li Susu and the Berserker fought fiercely for the chance to become Ye Qing's little brother.
In the end, they got what they wished for, becoming Ye Qing's little brothers. But then again, Ye Qing didn't help them much.
When Ye Qing left the Duanren Sect, he didn't bring anyone with him, roaming the world alone.
It wasn't that he didn't want to help the Berserker and Li Susu, but at that time, Ye Qing's strength wasn't enough.
After his success, Ye Qing wanted to return to the Duanren Sect many times.
Unfortunately, he was delayed by various matters. Today, Ye Qing finally returned to the Duanren Sect, returning to his starting point.
Everything in the Duanren Sect exuded a familiar atmosphere. Ye Qing was deeply moved when he saw the familiar scene.
A person lives for a lifetime and a plant for an autumn. A short life, in reality, was just the blink of an eye.
An ordinary person's lifespan was less than a hundred years, incomparably short. Even for cultivators, their lifespan could only increase by a few hundred years, or even a thousand years, it was still short.
Even with Ye Qing's Heaven Martial Realm cultivation, his lifespan couldn't exceed two hundred thousand years. That was the limit of the Heaven Martial Realm.
The rules of the world were birth, old age, sickness, and death. Those were the rules of the Heavens, no one could break them.
And the path Ye Qing walked was precisely a path that defied the Heavens!
The Berserker and Li Susu's emotions were surging. Seeing Ye Qing return, they chatted a lot with Ye Qing, asking about Ye Qing's experiences in the outside world these years.
Ye Qing briefly told them some things, but to the Berserker and Li Susu, it was like a fantasy story, hard to believe.
In their minds, Liang Zhou City was a big place, they didn't know about mid-rank empires, high-rank empires, or even the existence of realms. They didn't have the concept of the mortal world.
During this time, the Berserker and Li Susu's grandson came over. He was very curious about Ye Qing. He was a chubby little boy who seemed to feel closer to Ye Qing, clamoring for a hug the moment he saw Ye Qing.
Ye Qing laughed heartily and picked up the Berserker's grandson, searching for medicinal herbs in the system space. He refined many origin strengthening medicinal pellets and fed them to the little fatty.
Ye Qing's arrival caused quite a commotion. Many Duanren Sect disciples came to watch.
"Elder Berserker, who is this little brother?
Why is he in our Duanren Sect! "
"Strange, there's an outsider sneaking into the Sect."
"He doesn't have any aura aura, could he be an ordinary person?"
The Duanren Sect's disciples started discussing amongst themselves. Judging from Ye Qing's youthful appearance, they assumed he was a teenager.
In fact, with their cultivation, it was impossible for them to see through Ye Qing's cultivation realm. It was normal for them to assume Ye Qing was an ordinary person.
Ye Qing smiled and greeted them. Although he didn't know most of them, as long as they were Duanren Sect's disciples, Ye Qing felt a sense of familiarity.
Not long after, Duanren Sect's Sect Chief Li Mubai and Elder Murong Zhi walked over with excited expressions.
In recent years, as Duanren Sect's older generation experts, they had spent most of their time in seclusion, trying to break through to the next realm and increase their lifespan. Therefore, they rarely showed themselves in public.
When they received news from the Berserker that Ye Qing had returned, they came out to greet him at the first possible moment.
Li Mubai and Murong Zhi didn't have much life essence left in their bodies. They were on the brink of exhaustion.
The reason they were still alive was because of their strong willpower and the strong unwillingness in their hearts.
Of course, they didn't want to die. As long as they could increase their cultivation, they would be able to extend their lifespan. Unfortunately, their talents were not good enough, and their potential had been squeezed dry. In this state of exhaustion, it was impossible for them to break through.
The moment Li Mubai and Murong Zhi appeared, Ye Qing took out the Sacred Tree of Life from the Eternal Treasure Pagoda with a thought.
Exuberant life essence was released as the Sacred Tree of Life floated beside Li Mubai and Murong Zhi. Their skin glowed with vitality, and the wrinkles on their faces disappeared miraculously.
Even their cultivation that had stagnated for a long time showed signs of loosening. Most likely, they would be able to break through to the next realm soon.
The sudden scene stunned Li Mubai and Murong Zhi, rendering them speechless for a long time!
They couldn't understand, how could their bodies that were like dead trees and ashes be able to shine with a second spring!
The method Ye Qing displayed was simply inconceivable. They didn't even dare to think about it.
"Two Seniors, don't worry, with me, Ye Qing, here, you won't die!
You still have a long way to go in the future! "
Ye Qing laughed heartily, his mind at ease. In the past, when Ye Qing was still weak, they had always helped Ye Qing.
As the saying goes, don't forget the person who dug the well when drinking water. Ye Qing had always been a person who valued friendship and righteousness. A drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring!
Inside the Duanren Sect, the disciples were dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what just happened.
They only knew that after Ye Qing took out the Sacred Tree, the two Duanren Sect Ancestors underwent earth-shattering changes.
"Ye Qing, you're back, it's great!" Li Mubai exclaimed.
"When you were still in the Duanren Sect, I already knew your achievements were limitless!" Murong Zhi was moved to tears.
After being separated for so many years, they had a lot of things they wanted to tell Ye Qing. Inside the Duanren Sect's main hall, old friends were catching up. Ye Qing talked about his experiences outside.
On the other hand, Li Mubai, Murong Zhi, Berserker, and the others said very little, mostly listening. Toward the world Ye Qing described, they felt it was strange and strange, incomparably magical, and simply unimaginable.
During the conversation, Ye Qing noticed the worry on Li Mubai and Berserker's faces, hence he asked.
At first, they were hesitant to speak, as if they didn't want to tell Ye Qing the truth, but under Ye Qing's repeated questioning, they finally told him.
It turned out that recently, there was a gang called the Ghost Sand Gang that rose up in Liang Province County.
The Ghost Sand Gang was incomparably powerful, conquering sects everywhere they went. If some of the weaker sects were willing to submit to the Ghost Sand Gang, they would have to pay a lot of tributes every month, which was a huge burden.
If they didn't submit to the Ghost Sand Gang, their fate would be even worse, suffering a devastating blow. According to Berserker, in recent times, many sects in Liang Province County had suffered a calamity.
There were also rumors that the Ghost Sand Gang's background was very strong, running amok in Liang Province County, and the county couldn't do anything about it. Rumor had it that the Ghost Sand Gang's backer was a member of the Royal Family of Dachu!
To a small Duanren Sect, the Ghost Sand Gang was a giant monster that they couldn't afford to provoke.
The Northern Desert where the Duanren Sect was located was only a small piece of land, but it was also coveted by the Ghost Sand Gang. They demanded that the Duanren Sect submit and pay tributes every month.
