Mortal Seeking Immortal

Ye Zhou picked the mature spiritual plants in the small gourd, planted new spiritual plant seeds, and left this space.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day set by the Hong family in Kongtong City to go out to sea. Early in the morning, Ye Zhou took Wu Yongyong to the Mufu Shop in the city.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, they came to a pier outside Kongtong City, where the people of the Hong family had been waiting.

Ye Zhou glanced at the cultivators coming and going on the pier and found that in addition to the people of the Hong family, there were dozens of cultivators with cultivation above the late stage of foundation building, three cultivators in the early stage of Jindan, and one cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan.

A middle-aged man in blue brocade was standing next to the four Jindan cultivators and chatting. Although this middle-aged man used a secret method to conceal his cultivation, Ye Zhou, who had a strong sense of consciousness, still noticed from the breath leaked from this person that this person's cultivation was in the early stage of Jindan.

When Ye Zhou was looking at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man also noticed Ye Zhou. He recognized the shopkeeper who was following Ye Zhou and wearing Mu family clothing. He walked towards Ye Zhou with a smile: "May I ask, fellow Taoist, are you the Jindan realm cultivator recommended by the Mu family?"

Ye Zhou nodded.

The shopkeeper standing behind Ye Zhou looked at the middle-aged man respectfully and said, "I meet the head of the Hong family."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said to Ye Zhou, "Fellow Taoist, you came at the right time. The fleet will set off immediately. Fellow Taoist, please board the ship with us."

The middle-aged man made an invitation gesture to Ye Zhou, and after indicating to Ye Zhou which ship they would take in a while, he turned around and boarded the ship with the other four Jindan realm cultivators.

Ye Zhou said to the shopkeeper, "Thank you for your trouble. You can go back now."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Elder, you are polite. The sea has been uneasy recently. I hope you will take care of yourself when you go out to sea this time."

Seeing Ye Zhou nod, the shopkeeper turned around and left.

Looking at the four Jindan realm cultivators who were boarding the ship, Ye Zhou's eyes showed a solemn look. He didn't expect that the Hong family would recruit five Jindan realm cultivators to go with them on this voyage. It seemed that this trip was a bit dangerous.

Just as Ye Zhou was looking at the Hong family merchant ship, Wu Yong, who was standing behind Ye Zhou, kept his eyes fixed on another merchant ship that was traveling with him.

"Let's go."

After seeing the head of the Hong family boarding the ship with four Jindan realm cultivators, Ye Zhou greeted Wu Yong while walking towards the merchant ship. Wu Yong retracted his gaze and quickly followed Ye Zhou.

On the Hong family merchant ship, the head of the Hong family and the four Jindan realm cultivators were waiting on the deck for Ye Zhou to board the ship. After Ye Zhou boarded the ship, he walked straight towards the head of the Hong family and several others.

A gentle smile appeared on the face of the head of the Hong family: "May I know your name?"

Ye Zhou said lightly: "Ye."

The head of the Hong family nodded and said: "So it's Fellow Daoist Ye."

Next, the head of the Hong family began to introduce to Ye Zhou the four Jindan realm cultivators he recruited. Two of them were wearing the same clothes of a certain sect, and they should be fellow disciples. The other two were wearing different clothes, one male and one female.

The man was very gentle, wearing a white robe embroidered with silver patterns, quite like a scholar. He had a sword on his waist and a folding fan in his hand, which he fanned from time to time, and he was very elegant.

The other woman was an elderly woman. She leaned on a dragon-headed cane carved from pear wood. She was hunched over, with silver hair and wrinkles all over her face. She coughed softly from time to time, as if she didn't have much time left. She was the only one of the four who was in the middle stage of Jindan.

The head of the Hong family first introduced the old woman to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is Granny Lihua. Granny Lihua is a cultivator supported by the City Lord's Mansion and usually only obeys the City Lord."

"Granny Lihua has some attainments in alchemy. If Fellow Daoist Ye is interested, you may wish to communicate with Granny Lihua."

Ye Zhou bowed to Granny Lihua politely.

Granny Lihua glanced at Ye Zhou coldly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, although I can make pills, I can only make poison pills. If you are interested in poison pills, you can come to me for discussion."

The head of the Hong family looked at the gentle-looking man in white robes next to Granny Lihua and said, "This is Fellow Daoist Fang, a guest elder of our Hong Mansion."

The cultivator surnamed Fang put away his folding fan with a bang and nodded slightly to Ye Zhou, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ye has successfully formed a pill at such a young age. He is indeed gifted."

Ye Zhou exchanged a few polite words with the cultivator surnamed Fang, because Ye Zhou deliberately suppressed some of his cultivation, making everyone think that he had just successfully formed a pill, and they didn't know that he actually had the cultivation of the peak of the early stage of forming a pill.

The head of the Hong family pointed at the two brothers and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, these two are the direct disciples of the head of the Fenglei Sect, Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Shi. Fellow Daoist Ye, you may not know that the Fenglei Sect is the main weapon refining sect in Kongtong City. More than half of the weapon refining shops in Kongtong City belong to the Fenglei Sect."

Ye Zhou and the two disciples of the Fenglei Sect exchanged greetings.

After the introduction, the head of the Hong family assigned accommodation to several people and went to deal with other matters.

After the head of the Hong family left, several people left and returned to their respective rooms. Ye Zhou and Wu Yong were assigned to two adjacent rooms.
