Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

Ye Ming followed Lei Wanhe into the Yellow Maple Valley training ground. He sensed the conditions of various peaks and buildings along the way, and found that this place was indeed as he had spread outside, and the aura environment was very ordinary. For Yuanying monks, it is even considered bad.

He didn't meet many monks on the road, and the number of Foundation-Building Pill-forming monks he could sense was pitiful. Even those in the Qi Refining Period are far inferior to those in the Yue Kingdom period. Moreover, all of them looked listless, their faces lacked vigor, and there was no hope.

This...it seems that Huang Maple Valley has really had a hard time these years! Ye Ming sighed secretly.

……

When the two arrived at the top of the second highest peak in the area, there were already six or seven people waiting quietly in front of a palace.

The first person was an old man wearing a yellow robe with a sallow complexion who looked to be in his fifties or sixties.

Ye Ming swept his consciousness and discovered that this person actually had the cultivation level of the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Besides Old Monster Linghu, who else could have such a level of cultivation and appear here?

As soon as this person saw Ye Ming, he came over laughing.

"Hahaha, I, Linghu Shao, would like to congratulate Junior Brother Ye on his great achievement of Nascent Soul, and welcome back to the sect!" When he said this, Old Monster Linghu was extremely excited, and his sallow face actually felt like it was filled with red light.

The following people saluted Ye Ming at the same time, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Patriarch Ye on his achievement of Nascent Soul and his return to the sect!" Their voices were full of excitement.

On the way here, Lei Wanhe had already sent a transmission note to the door and briefed Ye Ming in advance. Ye Ming was not surprised to see several people here.

He smiled and cupped his hands at Old Monster Linghu: "My little brother Ye Ming, I have met Senior Brother Linghu!"

Then he opened his palms and held them slightly, and helped the saluting people up from a few feet away.

Seeing this, Old Monster Linghu stroked his beard and nodded. With just one hand, it could be seen that this junior brother who suddenly appeared had pretty good control over his strength and mana.

After the two parties greeted each other, Old Monster Linghu enthusiastically led Ye Ming towards the main hall.

The main hall here is the meeting hall where the high-level monks of Huang Maple Valley discuss important matters. The space inside is relatively spacious, but there are not many furnishings, and some of the furnishings look a bit old.

Old Monster Linghu led Ye Ming to the high platform of the main hall and sat on a seat close to the middle, while he himself sat on the main seat in the middle.

Several Danjie monks automatically sat on the two rows of chairs below.

At this time, Old Monster Linghu laughed again and said to Ye Ming with some embarrassment: "Junior Brother Ye, please forgive me for my dereliction of duty. Can you briefly tell me about your experience of living in the valley? Of course, I am not doubting you. , I just want to confirm it further, and please don’t be offended, junior brother.”

Over the years, Old Monster Linghu has become an ant in the hot pot over the matter of succession. He must understand and confirm any disturbance in this regard in detail.

Today, I suddenly received a message from Lei Wanhe, saying that a former disciple in the valley actually succeeded in having a baby outside and returned to the sect. Overjoyed, he immediately came out of seclusion and summoned other alchemy monks in the valley to greet him.

Now looking at Ye Ming's unfamiliar and young face, although he was basically certain that this person was a disciple in the valley before, he still couldn't help but want to confirm.

Regarding the issue of Ye Ming's identity, he had to confirm it in person before he could rest assured. Otherwise, the pie in the sky may turn into a trap.

A former low-level disciple succeeded in having a baby after being away for more than a hundred years. This was so unbelievable that he always felt unreal.

Ye Ming somewhat understood the old monster Linghu's thoughts. He didn't care and said with a faint smile:

"Haha, there is nothing strange about this. When I practiced in the valley, I always kept a low profile. Except for a limited number of people who knew me, very few people have seen me. Now after so many years, even fewer people know me. ”

Having said this, Ye Ming glanced at several pill-forming monks, and finally settled on a woman in basketball clothes, and asked with a half-smile:

"Master Nephew Nie, do you think so?"

This woman is dressed in blue. She has an extremely beautiful appearance and a graceful figure. She exudes a cool temperament and is very attractive. She is Nie Ying!

Nie Ying suppressed the fear in her heart, stood up and gave Ye Ming a slight blessing, her red lips parted slightly: "Junior Nie Ying, I have met Master Ye!" Then she saluted the old monster Linghu and said, "Uncle Linghu , Master Ye did practice in the valley for a long time, and his nephew also met Master Ye when the demon invaded. At that time, Master Ye, like his nephew, was still building foundations, but he didn’t expect Master Ye In just over one hundred and forty years, he has cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm."

Nie Ying said words of exclamation, but her tone was cold, and it sounded ethereal.

Ye Ming took over the conversation: "Back then, I joined the sect through the Immortal Ascension Society, and participated in the bloody trial led by Li Huayuan...the invasion of the demonic way...and then accidentally teleported to a strange place, and luckily condensed the Nascent Soul."

Old Monster Linghu nodded while listening to Ye Ming's story. When the latter finished speaking, his face turned into a chrysanthemum smile:

"Hahaha, God is really blessing me in Yellow Maple Valley! The return of my junior brother has allowed our sect to maintain its inheritance, and there will be successors from now on! Hahaha..."

This is a monk who was born and raised in Huang Maple Valley! Old Monster Linghu looked at Ye Ming's young face, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became. From now on, he no longer has to worry about the thousands of years of Yellow Maple Valley's orthodoxy being cut off after he leaves.

Ye Ming looked at the excited old monster Linghu with a smile, and then carefully looked at the other people in the hall. He could understand the mood of old monster Linghu.

There are only seven alchemy monks in the hall. In addition to Lei Wanhe and Nie Ying, there are also three old men and two middle-aged men. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level is an old man in black clothes and gray hair. He has reached the late stage of pill formation, but judging from his old appearance, it is estimated that his lifespan is short, and it is basically impossible to advance to Nascent Soul.

Next up is Lei Wanhe, who has the cultivation of the peak of the mid-stage pill formation. There is another mid-termer, and the rest are all in the early stage.

With just such a few people and such a small amount of cultivation, the foundation of Huang Maple Valley cannot be described in just one word.

When Linghu was almost done laughing, Ye Ming asked:

"Senior brother, how has the sect developed over the years? Are there only a few nephews in the Dan Formation stage?"

Hearing this, Old Monster Linghu's smile slowly faded, and he said a little lonely: "Oh, I'm just living under someone else's roof, how can I talk about development."

Seeing that Ye Ming was listening quietly, he paused and continued: "Originally, the sect did not have many martial nephews. They fought against the devil before and then against the Mulan people. Various wars continued, and many nephews died in the battle. Just as you know Huayuan, Hongfu, etc., they have all encountered misfortunes one after another. In recent years, the only new ones who have become alchemists are Nie Nie and Feng. The people currently sitting in the hall are all the alchemists from Huang Maple Valley. A monk."

As he spoke, he pointed at Nie Ying and another middle-aged man in a yellow shirt.

Ye Ming nodded to them.

"Fortunately, junior brother, you are back with a baby. I believe that one day, sooner or later, we will be able to regain the strength we had at our peak. Moreover, junior brother is so young, he shouldn't be two hundred years old now, right?" After saying this, Old Monster Linghu's eyes burned brightly. Looking at Ye Ming.

"My little brother is turning one hundred and eighty this year." Ye Ming nodded slightly.

"Haha, okay! Junior brother advanced to Yuanying at such a young age. He is truly a genius. No one before has dared to say so, but it is estimated that it will be difficult for anyone to come after you. With your age and qualifications, as long as there is a slight chance, you can advance to the next level in the future. It is still very possible in the mid-term, and even in the later stage it is not expected. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it is still possible for the junior brother to stay in the sect for seven or eight hundred years. If this continues for such a long time, are you afraid that the sect will not be able to develop?" At this point, , Old Monster Linghu was full of confidence.

"Haha, senior brother thinks highly of me. My little brother, I am just practicing randomly. I just got pregnant by luck. I need more guidance from senior brother for my future cultivation." Ye Ming said modestly.

Ye Ming did have a lot of questions about the cultivation after childbirth, and old monster Linghu was already a mid-level monk. I thought that sharing my experience with him might solve a lot of problems.

"Haha, it's easy to talk about. Even if junior brother doesn't talk about this matter, I will teach you everything." Old Monster Linghu said matter-of-factly.

Then, he changed the subject: "By the way, junior brother, your advancement into the Nascent Soul is the biggest joyful event in Huang Maple Valley in recent years. I plan to invite colleagues from around the area to hold a lively Nascent Soul Ceremony for you to celebrate it. Do you like it?"

"Well, I think it's good to invite other comrades, but let's forget about holding a grand ceremony." Ye Ming didn't like this kind of occasion and refused without thinking.

"No, no, no! Junior brother, this celebration must be held. This is the practice of our six sects. No matter which family has people advancing to Yuanying, it is done this way. Didn't Nangong Wan of the Hidden Moon Sect also do it a few years ago? , look at Lan Yue's proud look at that time, I feel unhappy no matter how I look at it." Old monster Linghu shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing what Ye Ming wanted to say, he continued: "Moreover, you don't need to do anything in this matter, junior brother. I will be in charge of all matters. With Junior Nephew Lei and the others in charge, you don't have to worry about trouble or anything."

"Okay!" Ye Ming thought about it and decided to forget it. Let them be happy and improve the morale of Huang Maple Valley. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem if they were lifeless all day long.
