Mortal Seeking Immortal

After Ye Zhou entered Qingzhu Garden, he released Xiao Yuan to guard outside, and he entered the small gourd to meditate and restore his spiritual power.

Ye Zhou's one day of cultivation in the Jiuxuan Star Shifting Formation is equivalent to five years of hard cultivation in the outside world.

Two days passed in a flash, and the City Lord's Mansion did not send anyone to find Ye Zhou during these two days.

On the morning of the third day, Ye Zhou finished his cultivation, opened his eyes, and a ray of light shot out from his eyes.

Ye Zhou opened his mouth and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a breath of mid-stage Jindan was released from Ye Zhou's body.

During the two days of cultivation in the Jiuxuan Star Shifting Formation, Ye Zhou not only recovered the consumed spiritual power, but also took the opportunity to break through to the mid-stage Jindan.

With Ye Zhou's current cultivation, plus the Demon God Body Forging Art he practiced, a late Jindan cultivator may not be Ye Zhou's opponent. If he encounters an ordinary Jindan Great Perfection cultivator, Ye Zhou is also confident that he can escape from his opponent safely.

As Ye Zhou's cultivation level improved, he found that the white mist covering the small gourd several dozen feet away seemed to have become lighter at the edge and had a tendency to dissipate.

Ye Zhou had a hunch that if his cultivation level broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, perhaps there would be greater changes in the small gourd.

Ye Zhou couldn't help but look forward to it.

At this time, Xiao Yuan, who had been on guard outside, suddenly reminded Ye Zhou that someone was coming.

Ye Zhou left the small gourd and returned to the room. As soon as he put away Xiao Yuan, he heard someone knocking on the courtyard door outside.

Ye Zhou walked to the courtyard and opened the courtyard door, and saw the cultivator surnamed Cheng looking at him with a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Ye."

Ye Zhou didn't know why the cultivator surnamed Cheng came here, so he stepped aside and was about to invite the cultivator surnamed Cheng to sit for a while.

But the monk surnamed Cheng said hurriedly: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I am here on the orders of the city lord to take you to the city lord's mansion for a banquet. The city lord specially held a banquet in the mansion to thank you for escorting Miss Qi back to Xianliu City. I think we should not let the city lord wait for too long."

It happened that Ye Zhou had something to do with the female cultivator surnamed Qi, so he walked towards the city lord's mansion with the monk surnamed Cheng.

On the way, when the monk surnamed Cheng felt a trace of breath that Ye Zhou inadvertently leaked, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked, and thought to himself: I haven't seen him for just two days, I didn't expect this boy's cultivation to break through to the middle stage of Jindan. I'm afraid it won't take long for this person's cultivation to catch up with him.

Ye Zhou is already a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan at such a young age. Now that he has been appreciated by the city lord for escorting Miss Qi back to Xianliu City, his status in Xianliu City will definitely be higher than his in the future.

Thinking of this, the monk surnamed Cheng couldn't help but have some thoughts of making friends with Ye Zhou, and he was also much more enthusiastic when talking to Ye Zhou.

The monk surnamed Cheng smiled at Ye Zhou and said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Ye has had a good rest these days, and his cultivation has also improved a lot."

Ye Zhou casually echoed a few words.

At this time, the monk surnamed Cheng changed the subject and continued, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Ye and Miss Qi came to Xianliu City from the route of the Ghost Desert."

The monk surnamed Cheng was on leave that day and did not stay on the city wall. He learned about this from other people afterwards.

Ye Zhou did not hide it and nodded in acknowledgement.

The monk surnamed Cheng said, "Although the Ghost Desert is in this season with a low temperature, most of the spirit insects will hide underground and hibernate, and the danger is low, but you will still encounter many spirit insects along the way. I think Fellow Daoist Ye has other ways to deal with spirit insects."

When the monk surnamed Cheng said this, he looked at Ye Zhou meaningfully, but Ye Zhou did not respond.

The cultivator surnamed Cheng continued, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you know that there is no shortage of powerful cultivators in Xianliu City, but there is a shortage of cultivators who are good at dealing with spirit insects."

Speaking of this, the cultivator surnamed Cheng deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Although the Lord of the City has Yuanying Realm cultivators serving him, the one that the Lord of the City values ​​most is not those Yuanying Realm cultivators, but a Jindan Great Perfection Realm cultivator."

"This person is an insect cultivator who is very good at dealing with spirit insects. Fellow Daoist Ye will see this person at the banquet later."

Ye Zhou looked at the cultivator surnamed Cheng and asked, "I wonder why Fellow Daoist Cheng said this to me? We have only known each other for two days."

Cheng said: "I told you this because I want to make friends with you."

"I hope you can show the city lord how to deal with spirit insects at the banquet, so that he can have a clearer understanding of your strength and will not wrong you in the future."

Ye Zhou said: "Thank you Cheng for your advice."

Ye Zhou was hunted by Lianxu Sect because of the Qingyuan Palace token. He was looking for a suitable place to stay temporarily so that he could concentrate on practicing and leave when Qingyuan Palace was about to open. This Xianliu City is a safe place except for the outbreak of insect plague.

What's more, Xianliu City is now very solidly built, and there are many cultivators with high cultivation stationed here. Ordinary insect plagues have no effect on Xianliu City.

Ye Zhou doesn't have to worry about people from Lianxu Sect coming to him when he lives here.

Ye Zhou immediately made up his mind to stay here for a while.

However, Ye Zhou only wanted to stay here temporarily. If he followed the instructions of the cultivator surnamed Cheng and showed the method of controlling insects to the city lord of Xianliu City, it would be difficult for him to leave Xianliu City in the future, considering the importance the city lord attached to insect cultivators. Therefore, Ye Zhou did not intend to show the method of controlling insects to the city lord.

While the two were talking, they arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion.

There were many powerful prohibitions and formations set up within a hundred feet around the city lord's mansion, and irrelevant cultivators were strictly prohibited from approaching. Therefore, there was no trace of people within a hundred feet around the city lord's mansion.

The cultivator surnamed Cheng led Ye Zhou to the gate. The cultivators guarding the gate naturally recognized the cultivator surnamed Cheng, and they all looked at Ye Zhou at the same time, with vigilance in their eyes.

One of the tall monks looked at the monk surnamed Cheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, who is this person? Why does he look so unfamiliar? I don't think I have ever seen this person in Xianliu City before."

The monk surnamed Cheng took out a token from his bosom and said, "I am here on the orders of the city lord to invite fellow Daoist Ye to the banquet. This time, the city lord's mansion is hosting a banquet to thank fellow Daoist Ye for sending Miss Qi back to Xianliu City safely."

The monks guarding the gate naturally knew that the city lord was hosting a banquet. Upon hearing this, they stopped questioning and immediately let Ye Zhou and the other two enter the mansion.

As soon as they entered the gate of the city lord's mansion, several beautiful maids were already waiting at the door, ready to welcome Ye Zhou and the other two to the hall for the banquet.

Ye Zhou and the other two followed these beautiful maids and walked towards the hall. Along the way, Ye Zhou passed through the garden of the city lord's mansion, walked through several corridors, and finally came to the hall.

When Ye Zhou and the other arrived, the city lord had not arrived yet. There were only a few people sitting in the hall. These people were not very skilled and were only Jindan-stage cultivators.

Cheng was familiar with these Jindan-stage cultivators. He bowed and greeted them as soon as he entered the hall. After a few simple greetings, the eyes of the Jindan-stage cultivators fell on Ye Zhou.
