Family Cultivation: True Dragon Immortal Tree

Each of these demon elixirs from late-stage Zifu demon beasts is extremely valuable and is an excellent material for refining high-level elixirs.

In the end, Ye Changsheng collected a total of fourteen late-stage Zifu demon pills.

Looking at the crystal clear demon pill containing powerful energy in his hand, Ye Changsheng showed a satisfied smile on his face.

After Ye Changsheng collected the demon pills, he began to concentrate on training his spells. After a night of practice, he felt that his strength had improved slightly.

Early the next morning, Ye Changsheng came to the cave of a monk named Wu Jingming.

He took out a communication paper charm and informed the cave master of his arrival.

Not long after, a young monk appeared at the door of the cave.

The monk looked seriously injured, pale and unsteady.

His clothes were still stained with some blood, and his right arm seemed to be hanging weakly by his side. Despite this, there was still a hint of perseverance in his eyes.

"I, Ye Changsheng, have taken the liberty to come and visit Fellow Daoist Wu."

Ye Changsheng bowed his hands and said.

Wu Jingming braced himself up and returned the gift: "Fellow Daoist Ye has come from afar, and I am sorry to hear you come from afar. Please come in."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Wu Jingming invited Ye Changsheng into the cave.

As soon as he sat down, Ye Changsheng took out an exquisite jade box from his storage bag and handed it to Wu Jingming with both hands.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, these are two third-level middle-grade Spiritual Healing Pills, specially used to treat various injuries of monks in the middle stage of Zifu. It is a small greeting gift, I hope you will accept it."

Hearing this, Wu Jingming's eyes flashed with surprise. He was seriously injured but did not have the spiritual stone to buy the elixir.

Unexpectedly, Ye Changsheng sent such a precious healing elixir, which was undoubtedly a timely help.

Wu Jingming politely declined twice, but finally happily accepted the generous gift. He opened the jade box and looked at the crystal clear elixir inside, with a grateful smile on his face.

"Thank you Daoyou Ye for your generosity. Wu will remember this kindness in his heart."

Ye Changsheng waved his hand and then asked: "Fellow Daoist Wu, I heard that you are often seriously injured. I wonder why?"

When he mentioned this, Wu Jingming's face suddenly darkened.

He sighed deeply and said slowly: "It's a long story. I was originally a casual cultivator, but because of a female cultivator, I offended a young man from an aristocratic family. That young man had a senior who served in the Holy Dao Sect and was a fourth-level cultivator. A monk with a high position. Ever since I offended that young master, I have been frequently sent to the most dangerous places to perform missions."

Wu Jingming continued with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I have a pretty good foundation and good luck, so I have escaped from the edge of death many times. But every time I return from a mission, I am inevitably seriously injured. Over time, even the most basic healing medicine is no longer available. Can’t afford it anymore.”

Ye Changsheng pondered for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally said: "Brother Wu, I may have a way to solve your current predicament. It's just...there are some personal restrictions, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

After hearing this, Wu Jingming suddenly became energetic and said eagerly: "Brother Ye, it's okay to say it! I'm on the verge of death now, and I'm afraid I'll be buried next time I go to the battlefield. Is there anything I shouldn't say, Brother Ye?"

Seeing this, Ye Changsheng said slowly: "It's like this. I'm recruiting guards recently, with an annual salary of three million spirit stones. If Brother Wu is willing to sign a Taoist contract with me, I can use my merits to redeem you for five years." The privilege of not going to the battlefield. Not only that, I will contribute points to you for every mission. When the contribution points accumulate to 10,000, you can come to me to redeem Daoting Pill."

Wu Jingming's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he frowned: "This does sound like a good opportunity, what are the other conditions?"

Ye Changsheng said calmly: "The only condition is that the contract period is longer, and it needs to be signed for two hundred years."

Wu Jingming thought for a moment after hearing this, and then showed a relieved smile: "Two hundred years? It's perfect for me! I'll sign!"

The two immediately signed the agreement happily.

Later, Ye Changsheng took Wu Jingming to the command center and exchanged for him the privilege of not going to the battlefield for the next five years.

After completing all the formalities, Wu Jingming seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden and looked much more relaxed. Seeing this, Ye Changsheng smiled and congratulated: "Brother Wu, congratulations on your escape from the sea of ​​suffering. When five years are up, I will once again apply for the privilege of not being able to go to the battlefield for you."

Hearing this, Wu Jingming was even more overjoyed and said excitedly: "Brother Ye is so kind and kind that Wu will never forget it! From now on, Wu is willing to go through fire and water for Brother Ye, no matter what!"

In this way, in the next six months, Ye Changsheng successively recruited forty-eight more guards according to the list given by Tianji Pavilion.

Although these guards are all mid-term Zifu elites among casual cultivators, their overall strength is still not as good as the original five.

Despite this, Ye Changsheng still granted each of them the privilege of not going to the battlefield.

These newly recruited guards all shed tears of gratitude and expressed their willingness to die for Ye Changshuo.

Most of them have a similar experience to Wu Jingming, being squeezed by various forces and facing precarious situations.

Now with Ye Changsheng's protection, he not only has a stable income, but also avoids the danger of his life. Naturally, he is grateful.

Ye Changsheng was very satisfied with the result.

These guards are not only powerful, but more importantly, they are loyal to him.

With these manpower, we can do bigger things in the future.

In the next six months, Ye Changsheng continued to take the Five Elements Fruit while managing the newly recruited guards, and focused on practicing wood spells.

With the help of the Five Elements Fruit, he soon cultivated the second wood spell, All Things, to the great success level.

However, as his cultivation level improved, Ye Changsheng gradually realized that his understanding of spells was still superficial.

He understood that the current progress mainly depended on the magical power of the Five Elements Fruit, rather than his own understanding.

This cognition made Ye Changsheng begin to envy those cultivators who had inherited the master's legacy.

He realized that having an experienced master to guide him could save a lot of time and energy and avoid detours.

Ye Changsheng knew that if he wanted to go further on the immortal path, he had to ask for advice from more powerful cultivators.

So, Ye Changsheng began to ask around, hoping to find a place where he could learn advanced cultivation knowledge.

His requirements were not low, at least the third-level upper-grade content.

Just when Ye Changsheng was worried about this, he heard that there was a fifth-level great man named Chu Yuji among the casual cultivators, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of Jade Tree.

It is said that Chu Yuji is easy-going, helpful, and often holds lectures in his own dojo.

This news made Ye Changsheng's eyes light up, but he soon learned that it was not easy to participate in such a high-level lecture.

To be qualified to attend the lecture, one must pass the assessment of Chu Yuji's third apprentice Liu Yuying, and only those who are considered promising can enter.
